  • I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is

    I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is...i would like some advice before i go and buy more memory if it is not needed... i also do not keep my music on my lap top

    Okay, so we've eliminated the lack of space since you have plenty.
    See the screenshot from my Mac here:
    Page ins and page outs - post those (or just post the same type of screenshot). If you have a lot of those, that means that your machine needs to keep swapping RAM around to make the best of what is available which can result in slow responses.
    Also post the total amount of RAM you have (in my case, I have 12 GB)
    You free RAM of 221 MB is very, very low - I'm guessing you only have a total of 2 GB. If that is the case, I would absolutely max out the machine (if you don't know how much RAM you can put in, post your model number here so we can help with that).

  • Every time I open Mail it fails to respond, the windows stay blank and I get the beach ball and can only close it by force closing. Any ideas?

    Every time I open Mail on my Macbook Pro, which is only a couple of weeks old, it fails to open, the windows stay blank and I get the beach ball. The only way I can get it to close is to force it using the command alt esc buttons. Any ideas?

    Hi Elijahcross,

  • Every time I click print in Pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes.

    I just updated to the newest version of pages and every time I click print in pages I get the beach ball and my mac freezes. Any suggestions on fixing this? I've tried shutting down and restarting several times...nothing seems to be working and I'm loosing/wasting time trying to fix this...

    Hey there nmiller0528,
    It sounds like you are unable to print from Pages at all from your computer. I want to recommend troublehsooting the Mac OS for print issues with this article named:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I just activated Lion and I get the beach ball with every action?

    I am using a Mac Pro and have been using Snow Leopard, installed on one Hard Drive, with no problems. I have downloaded and installed Lion on another drive and when I activate it every time I click on anything with the pointer I get the BEACH BALL for about 4 minutes. There must be a solution, but I can't find it.
    Help!
    Bob

    Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
    You'll have to setup the program again.
    cheers

  • When carrying out some house keeping on my bookmarks, every time I delete or move or add a folder I get the beach ball showing and a very delayed response where everything freezes. Any ideas

    When carrying out some house keeping on my bookmarks, every time I delete or move one or add a folder I get the beach ball showing and a very delayed response where everything freezes. Any ideas?

    If you're synchronizing Safari with iCloud, disable that temporarily and see whether there's an improvement.

  • Dreamweaver opens then I get the beach ball.

    Hi there,
    Dreamweaver CS6 on a Mac, Dual-Core Intel Xeon running Lion, 10.7.5.
    I'm an occasional user of Dreamweaver CS6. In the last few days it has been playing up. DW will open the main screen with the welcome window and then show the beach ball.
    If you wait long enough (30 minutes or more) the last job will open - but you can't touch it or do anything with it.
    The force quit applications window shows DW alternating between responding and NOT responding. But at no point can I access anything with the mouse.
    Following in the steps of others on the forum with a similar problem I looked in the console and found the following message:
    23/10/2012 09:33:57.577 Dreamweaver: CFURLCreateWithString was passed this invalid URL string: '/System/Library/Frameworks/' (a file system path instead of an URL string). The URL created will not work with most file URL functions. CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath or CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPathRelativeToBase should be used instead.
    I have re-installed so many times now that I am certain this is of no benefit.
    And I have created a new user account as suggested by Adobe and DW works fine there - then went back to my admin account.
    For me the short cut is to boot up with shift-key held down which allows DW to open fully and work fine.
    After doing this yesterday DW was fine, but today I open DW and get the beach ball again.
    Clearly something is not right but I am at a total loss as to whether its a DW problem or and OSX problem.
    Being an intermittent user of DW this is the first time I have had a problem with it.
    I would therefore be most greatful if anyone can throw and envelope of light on this saga.
    Thanks
    Keith

    Hi Jon,
    Thanks for your suggestion, although I haven't tried it I will keep a note of it just in case.
    The reason I didn't try it is because not long after getting this issue with DW I noticed that some things weren't displaying with the usual fonts in Safari.
    It would seem that somehow I have turned off some crucial fonts in Suitcase Fusion 4.
    Having turned all local fonts back on again I have not experience the beach ball with DW.
    But if it does happen I'll try your suggestion straight away.
    Thanks very much for your time.

  • Getting the "beach ball" freezes, when switched to Intel 330 120gb SSD in my blackbook (2006, C2D, 10.6.8)

    Getting the "beach ball" freezes, when switched to Intel 330 120gb SSD in my blackbook (2006, C2D, 10.6.8).
    But switching to Crucial M4 SSD, everything is just fine & great~
    Any genius, know why?
    Do I need to enable TRIM for Intel 330 SSD (Sandforce)?
    THX for help!!
    Info:
    MacBook (Black, 2006, C2D, GMA950, 4gb Ram, OSX 10.6.8)
    -Both tried clone OS & clean install OS

    I just installed a 120 GB 330-series Intel SSD in my late-2008 aluminum MacBook and I have experienced the beachball problem on a fresh install of Lion and a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I never saw this behavior with my old Western Digital 500 GB HDD. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to avoid the "freezes" associated with the 330-series SSDs?

  • I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo- "Alert. Couldn't contact Spell Checker." It slows everything down and I get the beach ball

    Alert! Couldn’t contact Spell Checker. I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo. I get the beach ball and it slows down everything.This has been happening since yesterday. Please help if anyone else has had similar problems or has ideas to fix this. Thanks.

    Chris,
    I am having Spell Check probs too - it underlines, but that's all. I Googled and tried 5 different places for an answer - even 'jumped the pond'....but got no answers.
    i started a thread, "Spell Checker on the fritz!!", and got one good and reasonable answer...
    only it didn't work. It involved a .plist file, and once you toss one and do a re-start, it's supposed to re-build itself. But, no, SpCk still 'on the fritz'. I'm going to do one more re-start, but otherwise....
    May the first one on either thread that gets an answer that works - PLEASE let us all know.
    Keep your fingers crossed and hold your mouth right - lol. Nikki B.

  • How do i get the latest version of safari on my macbook pro? where is this in the apple store??

    How do I get the latest version of safari on my macbook pro?

    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

  • Getting the black screen on my 6mth old macbook pro. Reboot and nothing happens.

    Getting the black screen on my 6mth old macbook pro. Reboot and nothing happens. It sometimes rebbots by holding down on/ off key. But will go black screen and die a few minutes later. Any help much appreciated.

    If you experience distorted video or no video . . . take your affected product to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store to determine which service and support options are available. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    No, it has not cost anything in the past.
    Note: as of Dec 7th 2012, it is unlikely products qualify for this extended repair coverage.
    That does not mean it's an automatic "no."

  • I'm having trouble accessing a Library. I keep getting the beach ball every time I try to open it.

    Hi all. Very, VERY new to FCP. I've used many of your suggestions on here to help me through a lot, so thank you!
    This is just one issue that I can't seem to figure out.
    I was working on a project yesterday without any problems.
    Today when I went to work on it, Final Cut would start up, but it would display the beach ball forever once the start up routine was finished. The project would never load.
    A note, I have all current App updates installed.
    (I figured maybe this particular project didn't get updated for some reason, so I tried manually updating my projects and events, but when I went to select them in my 2nd drive, they were grey and I couldn't select them.)
    Another note, other projects work perfectly fine when I go to open them. It's just when I go to open this particular one, Final Cut will not work. Endless beach ball.
    I tried a suggestion that one user had, and that was to open two separate windows in Finder, and move the uncooperative library package contents into a new library. That didn't work either, and now I am unable to move the library package contents back to their original library. There is a yellow "!" triangle next to the library in Final Cut, so I'm wondering if this means that the file is corrupt.
    Hopefully I've given enough information on here to shed some light on my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If it was working on 10/1, why not open up the most recent backup library with a timestamp of that day. Unless you specified otherwise, your backup folder is in Movies in your home folder. You can double-click one to open it in FCP.
    The update command actually wants a mounted drive selected.
    I suggest not going into the library bundles and moving or modifying folders/files except as a last resort. It sounds like both libraries are corrupted.

  • I get the beach ball of death when I empty the trash on my new 10.7 Mac. Even in safe mode

    When I attempt to empty the trash I get the progress bar with message on how many items to empty and I get the barber pole lines but it never really starts to empty. I just have the beach ball of death. Everything else on the MacBook Pro comes to a halt (if you wait about 5 minutes an app selected to quit might quit). You can click on the X to stop emptying trash and it says it's stopping but it keeps showing the marching progress bar and the beach ball keeps spinning.
    Running 10.7. 8 gigs ram 2.0 ghz i7. 15".
    The only way to shut down is force quit holding down the power key. Tried it in Safe Mode with same results.

    I had the same problem.
    Your advice solved my problem.
    Thank you for the original post. And the two updates.
    I nominate you for "15 Points." 5 for your helpful answer. And another 10 because it was correct.
    Apple's Support Community needs more people like you.
    If I had posted a question and no one answered, I'd say, "the **** with it."
    Instead, you came back - not once but twice - to provide updates.
    Again, thank you.
