I can't get rid of spinning wheel.

Somehow, in theprocess of downloading and emailing a picture, I ended up with a messy desktop, After closing everything, I ended up with a blank sheet
labelled in the uper margin as a ,JPG file I had loaded, but no image and a spinning colored wheell. It  has spun for hours now,
I can't close it.
I have tried turning the computer on and off,
I can't delete it,
What to do?
Mike Moore

I have tried turning the computer on and off
Does that mean you couldn't restart the computer, or that you did restart it and there was no change?

    MAC OS X version 10.6.8

    If you are running OS 10.6.8 it has to be Intel.
    Serious slowdowns, if not due to a hard drive failing, are caused by unnecessary third-party software. Please answer the following questions:
    1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
    2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
    3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
    4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
    5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?

  • How do i get rid of spinning wheel

    machine runs very slowly in most applications with lots of pauses and spinning wheel icons

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • How do I get rid of spinning rainbow wheel without the OS ? Please help

    How do I get rid of spinning wheel without the OS (CD) ?  I live overseas and left it back home in the US. Sincere thanks  you for your help. Desperate Mom!

    Hi Maya,
    When does the spinning wheel happen? Does it happen when you try to launch (start) an app? If so, hold the shift key down when you launch, and hold the shift key down until the app has completely launched.
    It could be that the app is trying to open a corrupt file that was not closed (not your fault )
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Why does the color wheel come up when I   I can't get rid of it.

    Why does the color wheel come up when I try to open an email? I can't get rid of it unless I sign in again!

    The spinning beach ball of death (SBBOD) can be caused by many things. Common causes are not enough RAM, insufficient HD space or another process using a lot of the CPU's power. You can open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) for many things including the %CPU column to see if there is an app using a large %CPU. Also click the System Memory tab and see how much FREE RAM it shows. As a general rule your system should have 500MB or more available.
    Finally I'd recommend reading and using the Spinning Beach Ball of Death article for additonal troubleshooting steps.

  • Please can anyone help me. Spinning wheel on any operation after Mavericks Install.

    I would really appreciate anybody's help as I am desperate. Thank you in advance.
    After 3 days I have finally got a system running again on my macbook pro mid 2012 but not a without major problem.
    I am constantly getting the spinning colour wheel and i can hardly do anything. Booting up in safe mode is fine and I get no spinning wheel.
    Briefly what has happened -
    4 days ago I decided to make a clean install of mavericks as I wanted to clear the clutter from my hard drive and the fact i was getting a spinning colour wheel very ten minutes for around 10 seconds thus interrupting my work. The download and install kept failing toward the end of installation process. Through recovery mode and disk utility i wiped my hard rive to put on a fresh copy but that left me with no recovery, no OS and it has taken 3 days for me and some help from a guy in the apple community to finally get a system running.
    Unfortunately my only internet connection (which i sci-fi) is at a cafe in the small village I live in and I have no access to another mac or internet connection and there is no genius bar or mac tech of any sort near by. So I went through the steps of 'internet recovery mode' which kept failing but after 2 days and hours in the cafe I managed to install mountain lion onto a usb stick. With this I was able to put mountain lion on my system. It seemed fine and I then went onto download mavericks. Every time the installation failed. It takes nearly four hours for it to even download. Last night through endless attempts using the createinstallmedia method i was able to wipe my usb that had mountain lion on and put mavericks installer onto it. So i was left with a usb stick with mavericks installer on it and mountain lion on my macbook pro.
    Last night I kept trying to install mavericks via Disk Utility in recovery mode because trying to install it from the usb just wasn't working. after attempts here and there and no luck - In disk utility i saw on the left My apple hard drive and underneath the name of my personally named HD. Below that was a horizontal line and below was a yellow/orange hd with disk02 labelled next to it and one called base system. Below that my usb with install os x mavericks.
    This morning, in the cafe I managed to get mavericks working via disk utility in recovery mode. The problem is when i click on finder in the dock, when i try open an app, click on the menu bar - I get the coloured spinning wheel which keeps going for at least two minutes. I fixed disk permissions, run verify disk and everything was fine, started in safe mode and everything is fine. I reset my pram, smc and still i have this spinning wheel when i try do anything . I have my phone with me and its been the only way i can go online to try solve any problem what so ever but as of this moment i have typed and no spinning wheel but if open another tab it will start. I managed to download ETRECHECK and have my results, I also looked at my console which I don't understand but obviously something is wrong. I will post below my results from etrecheck and console, if someone could advice me I would be very grateful.

  • In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

    In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
    At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
    The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.
    From Ian in Paris, France

    I worked it out.
    Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
    Go to your HD.
    Go to Users.
    Go to your House (home)
    there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
    Go to Mail in this folder
    The next folder ( for me ) is V2
    Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
    Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
    Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
    In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
    In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
    This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
    Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
    It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
    Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
    Best wishes.

  • Undeletable e-mail in Mail - the latest! How can I get rid of it?

    Following my recent posts about an undeletable e-mail received as undeliverable mail (I never sent it in the first place so it's obviously coming from a virused address book) I now have 13 copies of an identical e-mail which won't go away. My Mac says they're junk, but they're in the inbox and when I move them manually, they leave the inbox but don't appear in the junk. Once I return to the inbox, there they are again - with one more copy. There is no visible body, just a header stating:
    "Subject: A hacker can access a public web site linked to an internal distributed file system and gain access to company and customer files."
    I recently went to a PC forum for help and when I copied and pasted the header onto their forum , a green link appeared under the words "web site" taking me to a site "zimki.com" with whom I have never dealt.
    How can I get rid of these self-generating e-mails?
    Incidentally this message is not on my server as web mail access was used to delete it, so it only appears on the Mac.

    Yes I did repost, as the original problem - a huge e-mail downloading - proved not to be the case so this is a more accurate description of the problem in the hope that I can get a more accurate solution.
    I used the edit/ cut solution (thank you!) which removed the e-mails from my inbox, but they're now back with a vengeance including about twenty copies of one entitled "fez" (a virus maybe?) - I now have two of every e-mail downloading; my Mac tells me this fez message is junk but now adds that "You need to take this account on-line to download this message" - except the download in progress wheel keeps going on, and on, and on....and the new messages in my inbox (I now have two or three variations on the original theme) won't go anywhere except by edit / cut.
    I'm tearing my hair out!!!
    I've just erased all the messages by webmail, 52 messages, so it appears my Mac is also no longer automatically erasing the messages on the server after download even though the box for this is ticked.

  • Can't get rid of items that are making hard drive sleepless

    I have an Intel iMac with a dead internal drive. I'm now booting and running it off its backup clone drive, an external La Cie Firewire drive. But the drive is constantly cycling, spinning down and spinning up, even when all apps are closed and the iMac seems (and should be) asleep (if the internal drive was doing this and i couldn't hear it, no wonder it died).
    I looked in Activity Monitor to see what it's up to when it's supposed to be asleep, and see some repeated entries from outdated stuff- Lexmark Network Services (from a printer i no longer have) and Palm Desktop Background, from a Palm program i haven't used since 2006 and thought was de-installed.
    The thing is, i can't seem to get rid of them. It's difficult to pinpoint their exact source thru Spotlight (or Inspect in Activity Monitor), and when i throw what i can trace of them in the trash, i can't empty it, i get a message that says "USB Transport rsrc is in use".
    How can i get rid of these items, which are obsolete and might be what is keeping the drive cycling?
    I removed a bunch of unneeded items from Login Items, but Lexmark one isn't there. And what is "Transport Monitor" (shows in both Startup Items and Activity Monitor)? Can i delete it from Login items?
    Energy Saver settings seem fine- it's set to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity. It's just not going inactive.
    Suggestions?
    I'm having to shut the iMac down whenever i walk away from it to keep from hearing all that cycling from the drive (and wondering what it's doing to the drive).

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode, like if it still changes in 5-10 minutes...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it maybe some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. It also may be Video Card or Airport going bad.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
    /private/var/run/StartupItems
    /Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    Transport Monitor & Palm Desktop are related...

  • My computer screen has a whirl disc that I can't get rid of?

    My computer screen has a whirling disc that I can't get rid of ????

    The multi-colored spinning "Beach Ball of death" is caused by your computer doing something so time consuming, it cannot proceed. Some web sites can cause this, but more often it is caused by:
    • you are extremely short of RAM memory
    • Your hard Drive is failing and a Bad Block is being re-tried hundreds of times to get good data.
    Top Priority is to have adequate Backups. Put everything else aside until you have backups, as your hard Drive may die at any moment and take all your data with it.

  • Help! iPhoto suddenly won't launch - just get the coloured spinning wheel

    Help! My photos are so important to me.  I store my iPhoto on an external drive as I was running out of space on my Macbook.  I haven't had any trouble accessing the drive.  All of a sudden, a couple of days ago, when I tried opening iPhoto, all that would happen is that I'd get a coloured spinning wheel, nothing would happen and ultimately I'd have to Force Quit the application.
    This is terrifying me!  Please advise how I sort this out.
    I have backed up to Time Machine (though I stupidly haven't actually checked if the photos have been backing up properly) - I have tried opening Time Machine to see if the photos are all there (30,000+) but can't open the backed up iPhoto without the iPhoto application working!  So seems incredibly frustrating and scary.
    Please advise...  Thank you!

    Delete the cache file ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto
    Move that file to the trash and secure empty it. You can try to do a normal empty but it normally doesn't allow go through.
