Icloud keychain spinning wheel in login screen

Mac mini i5 2012
Mavericks
This is a new mac mini.  The login screen asked me to enter my icloud id.  I did and now I got an iCloud Keychain white window with a spinning wheel.  Does it take this long to go into effect or should I shut down my mac?

  • Repeatedly getting stuck on spinning wheel and grey screen, even after multiple re-installs of the OS

    Ok, so running Lion on a MacBook, (2010 i think) and the OS got corrupted(stuck on spinning wheel and grey screen on boot)
    Tried to repair the disk via disk utility using an install CD, no go, couldn't repair, so, did a clean install.
    New install went fine, computer worked for about 3 days and then stuck on the spinning wheel again.
    suspecting physical damage to the harddrive, I installed the OS to an external, and booted from there. Worked for a couple days and then stuck on the spinning wheel.
    I have repeated the process 5 times now, each time it works for a little and then craps out again.
    What's going on?
    as a note, when I say it gets stuck on the spinning wheel, I have left it for 12 hours trying to boot to no avail.

    The Apple Hardware Test doesn't always detect all errors.
    Next time you get the gray screen/spinning wheel, try booting into the Safe Mode to see if it will boot.
    Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

    Anyone seeing similar behaviour?

    To use iCloud, you must first set it up on an iOS device or a Mac.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    =======================================
    Reinstall - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • IBook G4 appears to start then sticks at spinning wheel and apple screen

    Hello there,
    I have an old G4 laptop. Recently installed Airport Extreme card, started it up, no worries! Then was prompted to download updated software from Apple. Did so. But then when I tried to restart it all I get is the Apple chime, then the screen with the spinning wheel and apple logo. The startup does not continue from there. It just keeps on spinnin'. I have tried reboot, restart commands, battery out, battery in. The cord and battery appear fine, but just can't back into my Mac.
    I'd appreciate any tips please.
    Thanks,
    Kurt

    Have you tried to SafeBoot on startup, and then see if using Disk Utility's
    'repair disk permissions' on the selected Macintosh HD lists fixes? {The
    safeboot startup takes some time, often that can take many minutes of
    holding the Shift- key down on startup before it goes into login screen...}
    Then see if the computer would restart normally.
    Or, if nothing happens after that, have you tried starting the computer
    up with the OS X Installer disc1 (the boot/install disc) and C -key held
    down until you see it is attempting to load the Installer. Then, choose
    from the menubar from the Installer header (perhaps not first window
    you see on bootup from install disc) and look for the drop-down menu
    with Disk Utility in it. Run it from there, to Repair Disk and also to run
    Repair Disk Permissions. Note any error messages, and also see if
    the SMART status is indicated for the hard drive as Pass/Fail.
    You can choose a Startup Disk from the Installer's drop-down menu,
    for when you are done with Disk Utility, the computer may attempt
    to start from the installed system you are trying to fix.
    There also is an Apple Hardware Test included on the original install
    disc which accompanied the computer when new; it will work as a
    boot volume but requires a different key held on startup to access it.
    Not sure if that key is the Opt key, or another. I seldom use the AHT.
    {If there appears to be issues after attempting the above, you may
    consider removing the AirPort Extreme Card, and try SafeBoot again.}
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Screen Sharing via iCloud on Lion Freezes at Login Screen

    After updating to OSX Lion 10.7.3, screen sharing between two computers via the Internet allows me to connect to the remote computer and see the remote user's login screen, but as soon as I click on a user to login, the screen share image freezes before I can enter the user password. 
    Using iCloud Back to My Mac because all machines have the same Apple ID & password. Exact same setup worked before the 10.7.3 upgrade, but it could be coincidence. 
    Details:
    Can see the remote computers in my finder,
    Can click on them and connect successfully using either the Apple ID or the name and password a user that is allowed under Sharing -> Screen Sharing,
    When clicking on "Screen Share," the computers connect and I'm prompted to either "Ask to Share the Display" or "Connect to Virtual Display"Since there really isn't anyone using the computer, I select "Connect to Virtual Display"
    After clicking "Connect to Virtual Display" the Screen Sharing window shows the remote computer's login screen, whcih shows the user names, their icons and "Sleep" "Restart" or "Shut Down" on the bottom of the screen.  One user has an orange circle with a white checkmark next to it. 
    Previously, I could click a user's name or icon, enter the password and control the remote Mac.  Now, not amount of clicking works. 
    Have tried disconnecting and reconnecting as different users or using Apple ID without changes in the perofmance. Have restarted both machines. 
    Any help?

    I'm having the same problem screen sharing to a Lion 10.7.3 machine, I get this message.
    However, it works just like it used to when I screen share from a 10.7.3 machine to another Mac running 10.6.8.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

  • Big trouble spinning wheel after login

    Hi I just upgraded my PG G4 to Leopard...
    1. At first I couldn't login, when the login window show up a permanent spinning wheel made impossible to login;
    2. following instruction given in this forum I was able to remove the login step and finally Leopard loads;
    3. Leopard loads but on a home folder named "home1" instead of the "home" in which it loaded with Tiger. The old "home" is still present with all its documents;
    4. Once loaded a spinning wheel made impossible to use the system.
    SO what can I do in order to:
    1. repair the spinning wheel;
    2. Load the system on the original "home" with all my docs and applications?
    Thank you so much...I'm so down...
    F.

    Restart holding the Command and R keys so you boot to the recovery HD partition.  From Utilities on the menu bar choose, Install Mac OS X and reinstall OS X.  See if that fixes what is broken.

  • Continuous Spinning wheel on home screen with no browsing

    I have a continous spinning wheel on my NEW iphone 5c. I will see the wheel from my home screen without any apps open or running and I can also see the spinning wheel when i'm using any app.  is this a known bug. i did update to 7.1.1 just yesterday, but i had this issue before the update. I tried the restart and once again it came back. any help is appreciated.

    Same exact "problem" for me too - except im on an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1, ver 7.1.1).
    Amy one have a permanent solution for this? It seems to seriously be draining the battery much more than normal.
    Have only noticed this in the last 2 weeks or so. TIA.

  • Operative system not booting (spinning wheel on blue screen forever)

    Hello,
    I've replaced the standard hard drive of my (late 2009) MBP with a Seagate Momentus XT 750, this is an hybrid ssd hard drive.
    Lately I've seen that the system started to slow down and spotlight started to rebuild its index.
    After the indexing I've decided to reboot  and I've got stuck with a spinning wheel on a blue screen at system startup time.
    I've changed the hard disk and replaced it with the original one that still has the original installation and it works!
    The weird thing is that if I connect the Seagate Momentus to an usb port using an adapter it also works! I can read all its files with no problem, so I tough the problem might be some damaged block in the part of the disk containing the operative system.
    I've launched the Disk Utily app and I've tried to repair the disk and the permissions several times but it still doesn't boot the system.
    Any idea?

    Try a PRAM reset...

    and/or an SMC reset...

    Failing this, start up from your Install DVD and run Disc Utility to repair/verify the permissions and the drive itself.

  • Mac OS X Mail - iCloud permanently spinning wheel

    Sorry to trouble you all!  There is probably a very simple explanation for this one - but I have not been able to find the solution or answer anywhere!  Having just been 'forced' to change from MS Entourage to Mac Mail; and taken a few hours setting up all my email accounts and importing from Engtrourage; I notice that my iCloud email account is permanently spinning and searching for new mail - is this right?  Even if I change the preferences it still wants to be busy searching. The other 4 email accounts are running as expected.  Any advice/help very much appreciated - thank you.

    Try this:

    I'm kinda in the same boat...my iPhone 4s (that is through my work) and my home iMac, iPad are running the latest OS so not an issue...however my MacBook for work (which also has my iTunes library on it) is still running Snow Leopard.
    The fix about did the trick...and it's still loading them all, but it looks like it's bringing in all my stored emails that i'd been using since I created my .Mac account years and years ago.
    Hope it helps!

  • IOS 8 - iCloud Keychain with Multiple Login Accounts for a Site

    I use iCloud Keychain to store multiple login accounts for a single website.
    When using Safari on a Mac, the last login account I used for that site is prepopulated in yellow fields. If I want to change the login account, I clear the field with the login ID and I see a dropdown of all of the login accounts available for that site.
    When using Safari on iOS 7, the last login account I used is prepopulated (just like with the Mac), but if I want to use a different login account, I need to enter enough characters in the login ID field for Safari to know which login account I want to use and then it autofills using that account.
    Now, with iOS 8, all I get is the last login account I used. I can't figure out how to autofill any of my other login accounts for that site.
    I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Mike
