How to stop the spinning ball after trying to install V10.7.3?
Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery desktop appears, reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

How to stop the spinning ball/pizza that is stalling repairs to project on imovie 09? on macosx10.5.8 using iomega and superspeed ext h.d. as storage for the events and projects archive of a wedding video that has had audio sync problems on all share formats (iDVD, mp4, and last of all iTunes). The project label now carries signal with yellow triangled exclamation “i tunes out of date”.
To solve the sync problem I’m following advice and detaching sound from all of the 100 or so short clips. This operation has been stalled by the spinning ball. Shut down restart has not helped.
The Project is mounted from Iomega and superspeed ext hd connected to imovie09 on macosx 10.5.8.

How do I stop the spinning ball?
How do I stop the spinning ball? It has just begun in the last couple of days. Very annoying. Must wait 10-20 seconds to access an Internet site or information into a Google site. It even stopped me in the midst of typing this message.

How do I stop the spinning ball that keeps going and going and going
How do I stop the spinning ball that keeps going and going and going. I think I have to remove cookies, but I don't know how.
I think I solved it.
I searched my extensions folder (in my profile) for all image files (PNG and JPG), and found the pop-up images to be in an extension folder related to Firefox Sync (not an external extension, actually). But even though I had already disabled it and un-linked this computer from Firefox Sync, the message still popped-up.
I think the image filename was SYNC.PNG, or something like that. Close Firefox, find the folder where that image is in, and rename the main folder (the one right under the extensions folder) to some other name (such as "original name_copy"). Then start Firefox. Check if it works OK and if the pop-up ceases to appear. If everything OK, then you can delete that folder.
If something goes wrong, just rename the folder to what it was before. -

Maybe you can help. I haven't been able to resolve this one "small" problem which is preventing me from rolling out iWS6.0 SP2. I created a new instance of the server using "Add Server" so that I have 2 Web sites (e.g. test1.domain.com and test2.domain.com), but the 2nd server instance is pointing to the same HTML location as the first (i.e. http://test2.domain.com takes you to the same location as http://test1.domain.com). What do I need to change and where to fix this? Need a VERY quick answer to this to implement a production Web server. I've tried the suggestions made so far (see: http://softwareforum.sun.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=181&RPAGEID=135&HOID=50B500000008000000966A0000&UCATEGORY_0=_23_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=server+instances&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0) but nothing has resolved this problem. If you have any ideas at all, I'd appreciate if you could let me know :)

How to stop the boot process after the GRUB menu?
Hello there.
I am getting an error message in the boot process, after the GRUB menu, but I can't read completely the message because it is shown too fast. So, how can I stop the process when I see the error message, for writing down it?
Thanks in advance.zuargo wrote:

I didn't try this before, but if you use systemd, you may want to try systemd.confirm_spawn to invoke interactive booting process, so you can start the services one by one manually therefore locate the one throwing out error message.
It is explained in the systemd manual:

Dear Lord, How to stop the spinning rainbow?
I ran a firefox web app that froze my machine, no prob, happens in Windows all the time. But that circle rainbow thing wouldn't go away. It even endured a reboot. Basically, I had to unplg the mac and start it in a different room for it to go away.
Are there any conrtol buttons to overrride this "feature?"644/3090
Hi maximvs64,
Yes, there are such controls:
- The keyboard shortcut option-command-escape [⌥⌘⎋] will bring the Force Quit window. Choose the one frozen application and quit it from there.
- Open Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder), then in the large processes window, highlight the problematic process and click the red "Quit Process".
- Last resort, if none of those work, use the power button: keep it depressed for a few seconds (as if you just hit it once, it's just a sleep command).
Your "Spinning Beach Ball Of Death" problem:
From your explanations, I'm not sure which process is stuck.
I thought it was your Firefox app (in this case, it's stuck for some reason, so just force-quit it as indicated above), but then you seem to be so stuck you cannot reach the "escape" commands (that would be a stuck finder): so try the power button.
When a process is frozen:
Usually the rest work well, it's not the whole system (that's the beauty of Mac OS X multi-tasking handling), so you just need to quit the one frozen process, without needing to restart.
When you see the "Spinning Beach Ball Of Death":
It is possible too, that no process is frozen, only some huge task is being run (sometimes due to a mistake, like for example the (long!) Finder process of duplicating 50000 photos, because you would have clicked the wrong line...).
Where does the problem come from:
Hover the mouse cursor over different open apps and the menubar: you'll find which works and which just gives the SBBOD.
Good luck!

Installation problem with the new iso after trying to install the LTS
I tried to install arch (i have always succeeded before) but i wanted to use the LTS kernel. When choosing packages i unchecked the linux package (which provides the 3 kernel) and checked the kernellts package.
After i was done with the configuration i got this error message (not exactly sure) something to do with the mkinitcpio : error Preset not found: '/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset'
The system was unbootable of course... I assume that it has to do something with the kernel version. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe i should try to install with the older iso...Thanks for the quick reply. But I 've already formatted the partion... Can you tell me a way to do this during the instalation? If it can't be done should I use the older iso? I am not an expert by the way. I assume I could install the 3.0 first and then add the lts kernel but I hate installing anything that I will not use (that's one of the reasons I want to use Arch). Thanks in advance.
PS. Would the archboot iso help?

Elaine, how much ram is installed in your Mac? Click the Apple icon at the upper left and choose About this Mac to find out. When you look at Activity Monitor the thing you want to focus on Is the page ins and page outs at the bottom ofthe AM window, if those numbers are high, and I suspect that they will be it's an indication that your Mac is using all of it's available ram. Most of the time adding more ram is a cure for the beach all, I have 12gb in my iMac and have zero page outs almost all of the time.

Hi,
I need to make the water coming from the shower, when shower is clicked.
And the water should stop after 5 seconds.
The code is below.
The water is flowing nicely. But I do not manage to stop it.
I added a timer, which starts when the shower is clicked. And should stop the waterflow after 5 seconds have passed.
With the lines
if (stop = true)
break;
trace("break");
it looks like the for loop is breaking right from the start, from the first second. But not completely, somehow 1 or 2 drops are flowing.
Without these lines nothing is happening when the time is over (5 seconds from clicking the shower). Water is just flowing.
Can someone help? How to stop the water flowing after 5 seconds and clean of the array and stage from the waterdrops?
Many thanks in advance!

I have a word document that keeps stalling with the spinning ball sign - how can I stop this?
Have a 2009 Macbook Air. Never given me any trouble before. But I am working on a long word document (docx) - 200 pages of text - and after 5 minutes of working on it it starts to stall and the spinning ball comes up every time I try to type or edit. I have tried resaving it as a doc. I have transferred it to my main IMac where the same problem occurs. No other word documents are doing this. This document is a novel, three years in the making, which is due to go off to publishers in a few weeks time so I am rather worried that it is going to be unrescuable. any suggestions?
I have a time machine and so on so it is all backed up, but i want to be able to work on it!
Please help!?Try this.
Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
Save it with a new name.
Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.
