IMac late 2009 - beach ball of death
My iMac is hanging a ridiculous amount - Every 30 seconds or so, no matter how few applications are running, I get the beach ball of death. It'll typically stall for a minute or more. Ugh.
I upgraded the RAM to see if that would fix the problem, and it didn't (the computer still hangs when available RAM is in excess of 10GB). I've run the Apple Hardware Test, and there were no problems reported. I've run virus scans, and there were no problems reported. I've upgraded the machine to OSX Lion, and have all of my software updated to current versions.
Please let me know if you have any ideas for a solution!
System specs:
iMac Late 2009, 21.5 inch
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
Thanks,
Mike
Yes... took it back to Mac Store who sent it to their depot who did a deeper scan and it was a failing harddrive. Thank goodness for Time Machine and having backups... I am not as stressed as I would have been. However, they reinstalled it with Snow Leopard instead of my purchased Mountain Lion. When I brought it home I imported from Time Machine. But another issue reared its head and fought with its password issues (seriously, hours of work there) only to find that I could not upgrade from SL to ML on my disc. I did a check for software update from the Apple Icon (no Apple Store in SL) and it downloaded 1.6 GB of 5 updates (what appears to be the Java and others that are making the rounds currently). When this installed I was unable to log in at all, unable to get past the login screen, with some heavy duty serious lag and blue screens. So I am BACK at the Mac Store and having them do a complete wipe (again) and installation of Mountail Lion this time. In theory I should be able to take my machine with a new harddrive, Mountain Lion installed, back home and import form Time Machine.
Preach it from the rooftops and mountains... buy an external hard drive and install Time Machine. Seriously! Do it now! I am very happy that I finally, after a year, got around to doing this in time.

IMac Super Slow - Beach Ball of Death always spinning
I am new to all this. My iMac is on a wireless network at home and has been running uber slow. I checked under Activity Monitr and see that the pie Chart under the System Memory tab, has a small green sliver of available memory. there is a HUGE red portion which says Wired: Total amount of physical memory that cannot be paged to disk.
What the heck does that mean? How do I see what is contained there and I can I delete some of it? The only thin running is my printer, mouse (wireless) keyboard and Time Machine back-up up disk.
I appreciate any help.
AnnHow much free space do,you have left on your startup drive?
Select the drive icon, on your desktop, then hold the command-I keys on your keyboard to bring up the info pane for your startup drive.
It sounds to me like you need more RAM memory.
Your iMac can take a max. RAM amount of 6 GBs.
Here's a reliable Mac RAM seller
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac
And here's the procedure for installing it into your iMac
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423 -
My MacBook (late 2009 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) often runs VERY slow...beach ball of death frequently. My page ins (3.29GB), page outs (5.64BG), and swap files (10GB) seem extremely high in comparison to most other discussions in here. I don't know how to copy the pie chart so it shows on here but here's what it says right now:
Free - 176 MB
Wired - 592MB
Active - 843MB
Inactive - 432MB
Used - 1.82 GB
VM size - 198GB
The page ins and page outs have 0 bytes/sec in the parenthesis even though the numbers are so high.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!You difinately need more ram. 2gb is the bare minimum to run just the Lion OS, anything extra will slow your Mac to a crawl. Upgrade to 8gb from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com/ or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/
And you will be a happy camper! -
IMac late 2009 gives beach ball. All test return normal.
I have an iMac late 2009 model 27 inch. update to Mavericks (10.9.1)
Returning from holiday, I found my iMac dead slow, with spinng beach balls on every click. Until now I have done ....
Create new user account, logged in as this new user.
reset PRAM / NVRAM
boot up in safe mode
boot up in recovery mode, perform disk test. (all normal)
I managed to copy the most important directories to an external storage. Got more and more read/write errors.
iMac had become unusable slow.
Made bootable USB stick, used this to boot and did a complete HD erase.
Clean installed Maverick.
Problem still persist.
Performed AHT (Apple Hardware Test) in extented mode. No error founds.
Performed Black Magic Disktest, around 110 MB/s seems normal speed.
After reboot, the first application start up fast (which gives me hope) but starting the second app, takes several minutes with this spinning beach ball.
Anyone here having simular problems or otherwise can point me to a solution?Thanks for you advise. I did a clean install, so without any third party software like Trusteer Rapport.
On you advice I ran EtreCheck. This is the result:

Working on my friends iMac 20" computer. It is 2.66 ghz, and was running 4mb of ram when the computer started acting up on OSX 10.5.
When I was called over the computer was so slow that I could not even scroll without getting the beach ball of death. I checked the activities moniter, and found an HP application was taking up 46% of the CPU. We attempted to go in and uninstall all of the HP applications, but the computer ended up freezing. Ended up doing a hard shut down, and decided to run disk utilities. Repaired both Permissions, and Disk. Restarted... no difference. Thought of restoring the computer to when it was working fine via Time machine in disk utility mode... failed. Finally resorted to deleting the hard drive, reinstalling Tiger, and upgrading.
After what seemed like forever for the hard drive to erease, attempted to reinstall. Ended up taking almost an hour to verify the disk, and then announced, that it would take 58+ hours to install. After leaving it for 3 hours, the number was going up, and was not installing.
I then thought the problem would be the 2nd party ram. We replaced the paired 2mb's to give 4mb's with the origional paired 1mb's providing now 2 mb's. Attempted to reinstall osx. Same problem 60+ hours after 3 hours of letting it sit.
What to do now? Is it the logic board? Could it be a faulty hard drive? Should I attempt in firewire more from another computer? Do a 7 pass erase over the hard drive? Run Disk warrior?
If anyone could give some info on why this is so blessedly slow that would be great thanks!Decided to try and chek out the hard drive more extensively. SMART, states that it is verified. After running Diskwarrior and repairing all of the disk and the permissions, and running a hardware test, everything seemed to be running fine.
Went back to disk utilities, checked disk and permissions again, verified. SMART states it is verified.
Attemping now to install Mac OSX 10.4.7 from the original install disk. I am currently attemting the basic install, no programs, nothing. It has been over an hour, It is 44% of installing the base system Part 1, announcing 5 hours and 53 minutes.
When I did erase the hard drive yes I selected to write over zeros once. I then erased a second time from Diskwarrior. -
I have a 4 yr. old iMac. I recently got a trojan on it that sent out emails to my address book. I got Norton Internet Security for Mac, and now my Mac is running slow, with way too many spinning beach balls of death. Was it a mistake to install Norton?

There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox. -
IMac bootup issues and spinning beach ball of death.
Hello Hello.
So I was recently given a brand new iMac 27inch by Apple, due to the death of my 2008 24inch iMac. Everything has been going great with it until today. I restarted it at some point this afternoon, and ever since then it has been acting quite strange. First thing i've noticed is that when I boot it up, when it gets to the white screen with the gray apple logo and the spinning thing, there is now a transparent rounded rectangle bar at the bottom of the screen for a minute or so...which was never the case before. Then, if it decides to proceed to OSX (sometimes it wont), the beach ball of death never stops spinning, which of course means i can do pretty much nothing. On top of that, it will not connect to the internet...my Macbook Pro connects fine to the wifi, so I know it's not my service. Bottom line, I have no idea what is going on. I've had it only for a couple of months, and haven't really had any problems until now. I'm hoping I'll just wake up in the morning and everything will be back to normal...
Any ideas?
Thanks for yer time
IANI was able to get 'places' working on my Mac Pro by opening a library I created on my Macbook Pro (no crashing experienced in that install from the start) that contained a single geotagged image. The function works fine even after deleting the image, it just seemed to need the location data to get it kicking. I was creating a new library (since started as a trial) and was not upgrading an version 2 library.
There is obviously a bug here that needs addressing though. -
Frequent Crashes - Unrecoverable spinning beach ball of death - with 10.5.7
I upgraded to 10.5.6 when it was released. I experienced multiple kernel panics daily, many of which cited graphics related faults. So I reformatted the HD, reinstalled Leopard, and installed the 10.5.5 combo update.
Last week I installed the 10.5.7 combo update along with other minor non-os updates. Now, instead of having multiple kernel panics, I get multiple system Freezes at random. But usually associated with opening or closing dialog boxes (save as..., etc.), progress bars, and opening Apps from the dock. The system freeze is evident by the Spinning Beach Ball of Death. CMD-OPT-Esc doesn't not bring up the force quit dialog box, nor will any menu item be accessible. The temp increases as it's stuck in some loop. The case area near F3 and F4 gets very hot. I installed the Fan Control Pref Pane to force the fans on earlier.
So, still under the assumption that it's a software issue. I did an Archive and Install of Leopard, and upgraded the OS using 10.5.7 combo update. Sadly, the system freezes still occur at random, but still mostly when animating dialog boxes. The last one was when I tried to attach a file in Mail.app (and then again while trying to open the system profiler while writing this post).
The only way out of the freeze is to give the one-finger-salute to the power button, and power down.
At first I thought this might be a software issue like a corrupt file, poorly written driver or kernel extension, or memory leak. But now, I'm concerned that this might be a sign of a failing GPU as the 8600M GT GPUs had some manufacturing trouble.I just updated last evening to 10.5.7 on my 24" White iMac (late 2006) and am having the same issue. I did it first on my 12" G4 iBook without any issues for a week so I went ahead and updated the iMac. I'm using it now with kid gloves. I've disabled Default Folder and DragThing to see if they are incompatible (no updates for either were available at this time) but I also have a feeling my Drobo storage device might be related because Spotlight was indexing after the update. I hadn't used spotlight much because I don't think it was in fact indexing the Drobo before the update. My search results seemed limited to the internal drive. The Drobo firmware and utility are both up-to-date as well.

Beach Ball of Death on OSX while trying to upload large files(updated)
Hi,
I did a search on this and while I got lots of hits none on this issue.
We have a web portal that allows customers to upload files to a DAM server, we have control server.
The issue is not the back end, the back end is php and all set up correctly, we have 2gb ram assigned to php, the upload_max_filesize is set to 1.8gb max post size is set accordingly.
The flex app loads, user selects large file say 1.6gb ( we do file size check to make sure its below the limit), click upload button, beach ball of death shows, a little while later the file uploads.
Great so far, now the user tries another files same size, beach ball of death, script times out (we capture this and end gracefully). If the user restarts safari then the file will upload just fine.
Seems you can upload a large file first time and small files subsequently below 1.2gb, but you can not upload multiple large files.
Seems some sort of memory leak, I was looking at converting this upload app to send files via ftp, but if the flash player needs to process/load the files first then I don't think this will work looking to increase the file size ceiling to 4gb via ftp.
Code is a bit involved but in the end just calls file reference upload, then beach ball appears
Any ideas? player version 10.0.32.18 debug
UPDATED 09_17_09
It appears to be a memory leak in the player when in safari, the file is read but the memory not freed up after completion. Firefox frees the used memory after upload and you can continue. Not sure if Apple or Adobe issue.
However why bother reading the file first? can we have an HTP stream file upload in the web flash player like AIR as. This way the player would not care on the file size and the limitation would reside on the server, which we can deal with.

I'm always geting the Spinning Beach Ball of Death, yet instead of it being from having heavy stuff open or not enough RAM, it's as simple as coming out of a screen saver, or clicking a forum button on a browser that can cause it. It doesn't stop, instead it just keeps going until you can do nothing, and can only restart the iMac. Some times you can move the curser around, yet Finder doesn't open the Force Quit and the shortcut doesn't work.
How do you stop geting the SBBD??!! And it's not from a lack of RAM, as I got the max of 4 GB, and just having Firefox and a few much smaller applications open don't use even close to that much RAM. I got 72 Gigs of space left on the man harddrive, so it's not from having too little space there.
Here's some logs from right when the last freeze and restart occured.

Beach Ball of Death and Freezing Apps
For the past couple of days, I've been having some strange occurances on my 2007 MacPro (2,1) where, in certain apps, the Beach Ball of Death will appear and the app will freeze or hang. I can be using the app for some time and perhaps do one thing, and the BBOD appears, the app hangs and the only way out is to Force Quit. It has even happened once or twice with Finder which forces a reboot.
The app it tends to hang most in is Toast, especially when I go to burn a DVD. It will start the burn process, then just hang (the optical drive will start to spin up-- as if to start the burn-- then spin down and the BBOD appears. A Force Quit ensues. I can try to burn again and again but no luck, unless I restart the Mac Pro. Then it will work, no problem.
But it has also hung using Mail, Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and especially Time Machine. I've gone as far as disconnecting Time Machine drive just to see if it is the culprit, as the majority of the initial hangs seemed to be associated with seeing the TM menu "clock" spinning, indicative of TM is doing a backup. Except the backup is taking forever and apps begin to BBOD as it spins. I can check the TM Buddy widget, which just says:
"Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/TM Backups/Backups.backupdb"
Normally there's a lot more information than these couple of lines, especially if TM has been going a while.
If I try to stop TM using the TM pulldown menu, the BBOD appears and it hangs, yet the clock icon continues to spin. And if I try to Force Quit, it hangs (and on one or two occasions, the Finder has even showed a BBOD and hung. And while I can move the cursor and click around the Desktop, there is no response.) If I click on an app in the Dock, then the icon freezes in the Dock at its Magnification position and I can do nothing to make it go back. Then I usually just do a reboot and all is well for a while.
I did add two extra Gigs of SDRAM about two weeks ago (from Crucial) and no problem. I did use Tech Tool Pro 5 and tested the Memory, which tested okay. Also, I can check Volume Structures with Tech Tool 5 on the main drive and it says everything is good. (I have two internal spare drives and one external firewire 1.5 TB G-RAID) I've used Disk Utility on the OS drive and checked Verify Disk on the Startup Drive and the others and after awhile, it says the hard drive(s) seem to be okay. I've even ran Apple Jack to see if cleaning things up would help but no dice.
The only software I've added (on Monday and the problem started Monday) was a Seagate Diagnostic program to test some external USB Seagate GoFlex archive drives-- these are not always connected or mounted to the Mac Pro. When I started experiencing problems-- and it crashed or hung several times on Monday-- I trashed the Seagate Diagnostic program. The TM has also been shut down and unplugged as I tended to see more hangs and BBOD when it was in a backup process. (The first TM backup of the day goes smoothly. An hour later, when it automatically begins another backup, the TM clock icon spins forever and trouble ensues as noted above)
I'm wondering if it is my main Macintosh drive. It is a 250 GB drive, about 70% full and has worked fine until now. Because the Finder continues to work, even though apps are BBOD or hanging, I'm not sure about that though.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!Do you still have the original installer dvd's? If so run Apple Hardware Test. Also since you recently added more memory also run Rember (a GUI layer on top or memtest). I wouldn't trust TechTool for reliable memory tests.

Hmm, coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
If the Seagate Diagnostic program was the one I found here you probably did not remove all of it. Specifically the kext's it installs.
/System/Library/Extensions/MaxtorPowSecDriver.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/SeagatePowSecDriver.kext
If they are there move them to the trash (proably need your admin password to allow it) and reboot.
If the Seagate Diagnostic program is not the one I found. The do the following in terminal and post the results:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } ' -
Spinning Beach Ball of Death in iTunes when Inserting iPhone into Cradle
Anyone else getting the spinning beach ball of death when inserting your iPhone into your cradle to sync? I'm getting that, but only on my iMac, not my MacBook Air.
Any suggestions?
YoungTurkI'm having the same problem. And it tells me that sync is not activated and asks me if want to activate sync. I say 'yes' and it then say it cannot activate sync would I like to 'override.' This just started happening this week. And it's very annoying. It's as if something is accessing my iphone and keeping iTunes from accessing the phone a while. If I wait long enough it shows up in iTunes. I'm running Symantic Norton Anti Virus. My first guess is there's a virus. Or Norton Anti Virus is trying to access the phone for some reason. I just noticed you now have the option of automatically checking the iphone for virus when connected. But when I deactivate the auto scan of the iphone option the ball still spins for minutes and minutes. I've spent HOURS trying to figure this out. Apple has got to help. I've not installed anything else new to my system in the past few months.

Spinning Beach Ball of Death and Kernal Panics - Capacitors?
Hi,
I got this email from my mother. This is her computer, not mine. I'm technically adept, so I'd be able to help her. I'm not sure this is actually a kernal panic, or if it's another issue such as capacitors?
================
Lately sometimes (at least every couple of days) when I first turn on my iMac G5 (1.6 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM, OS 10.3.9) after it's been shut off all night long, I get the colored spinning beach ball of death for a minute or so. Then the background on the monitor turns grey-green and in a box in the middle of the screen is "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button" - this is written in four languages. I assume this is a kernal panic. When I restart the computer it's okay.
When I turned it on yesterday, however, the monitor was blue, but not normal blue as it was all "wavy." The dock only appeared about halfway up from the bottom of the screen, and only the bottom part of "Mail" appeared - no Mailbox or anything else. I turned it off with the power button and it was then all right.
Today the same thing happened, but I didn't get anything on the screen, except it was a "wavy blue" so I again used the power button to turn it off, and then when I restarted it it came on fine.
I've also noticed that the computer is much slower these past few weeks than previously, especially when using Safari. I have also seen the spinning beach ball of death in black instead of the usual colors.
I have not installed any new programs lately, nor ran any Software Updates lately. I have recently repaired my Permissions.
================
Thank you in advance for any suggestions and advice.
RobbiHi,
Here is the kernal panic log. Thanks. We have done Dr Smoke's Resolving Kernal Panics.

I get the following error when running Chrome v18.0.1025.163 on my MacBook Pro with MacOS 10.7.3
kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero
I have had many tabs crash, then it crashes the Chrome application, then quickly making my entire Mac unresponsive with a spinning beach ball of death. I am not sure if it is Chrome or not, as I tend to do most of my work these days in a browser.
Have others seen this? Is there a fix? What can I do to stop these crashes?As far as I've been able to discover, this bug is specific to WebKit browsers running (Chrome and Safari are based on WebKit). Perhaps it is related to those browsers running plugins (like Flash) and using an IOSurface to pass the rendering data back from the plugin. This issue was constant on my late 2010 MBP and would freeze the machine entirely once a day. Having switched to using Firefox or Opera I no longer see ANY messages for "IOSurface: Buffer allocation size is zero". Thankfully, this also comes without any more freezing when time machine starts up or at any other time.
It looks like there are a lot of changes going on in WebKit relating to IOSurface usage (http://svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/WEBKIT/search?logMessage=iosurface). Hopefully this will be fixed very soon. -
Top Sites = Beach Ball of Death (Facebook)
Most of the time when I try to access facebook through the topsites, it causes Safari to stop responding and gives the beach ball of death. It occurred with my espn ffb page too, but facebook is more common.
Apple is just trying to make safari look like an iphone, but failed big time on this one. It's like Microsoft's blue screen of death, do you really want the same sort of association with the beach ball?
Safari 4.03 on OS10.4.11HI,
It would be easier to help you if you would click: My Settings on the right side of this page and tell us which Mac you have and which Mac OS it's running. Much easier to assist you with your profile available. Thanks!

Mac OS X: How to force background maintenance tasks (logs and temporary items)
Repair disk permissions:
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
