when in Safari the screen freezes color wheel spins

Hello NWSunshine,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If an application on your computer becomes unresponsive, in this case it's Safari, you can force the application to quit by following the directions in the article linked to below.

    No update is going to make a computer "run" AppleTV.
    If you are referring to using AirPlay Mirroring to display the Mac on the AppleTV, that requires OSX 10.8 or higher.
    Requirements for AirPlay in OS X
    An Apple TV;
    Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) with software update v5.0 or later. See How to update Apple TV software.
    Airplay turned on in the Settings menu of the Apple TV.
    A supported Mac
    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring::
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)

  • Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything

    Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything. When I click on some icon or in the menu, no happens.
    After a long time (more than 1 hour), I decide to switch off my Mac holding the button down and when I boot and log in again, it works normally.
    Remark: When I logoff, I do not ask to keep my open programs for the next session.
    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 with 4GB Ram.

  • Everytime I open an app on my Imac the colored wheel spins and computer locks up without opening what I want.

    Everytime I open an app on my Imac the colored wheel spins and computer locks up without opening what I want.  I can't get past my initial screen saver screen.  Can't even go to Apple/AboutThis Mac... color wheel just starts and doesn't stop.

    Care to share which OS you are using?

  • TS2570 On start up of my new iMac it locks on the grey screen with the apple logo and the progress wheel spins. Boot up in safe and this is where it stopped at "BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/bootcache.playlist: 2 no such file or directory. "

    Reinstalling MacOS does NOT fix the problem for me.  I'm still searching a solution !

  • My Iphoto version 8.1.2 stopped working today. Opens to a blank white screen with the little color wheel spinning indicating something running. I also cannot shut this window once opened without doing a hard shut down of my Mac Book Pro. What is wrong?

    Opens to a blank screen with the little color wheel running indicating that something is running everytime I put my mouse on page. I also cannot close the page or do anything concerning this page when the little wheel is running. This has gone on for hours. I can only close the page by doing a hard shutdown of by Mac Book Pro. Never had this happen before.

    Your main library is damaged.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I was able to download the Creative cloud but my Mac won't open the download. All I get is the color wheel...What should I do?

    I paid for the student creative cloud and was able to download the actual software but my Mac will not open the installer for the cloud.  I click on the download (which is the installer) and all I get is the color wheel that shows that it's having issues completing the task.  The "Finder" also says that it is not responding while trying to open the download.  Any suggestions on how to get the installer open?

    Mcleighty0 can you please post a screen shot of the behavior you are experiencing?  Please see FAQ: How do I capture and post a screen shot or video? for information on how to post a screen shot to this discussion.

  • My iMac (Mac os X Lion 10.7.5) does not connect to known Wi-Fi networks after turning it on or waking it up?

    I've tried downloading this sowftware update  but it says it needs version 10.7.3
    Nothing seems to work, Please help.

    Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Reinstall OS X.

  • Can I prevent Mac OS X Lion from opening previous files when applications are launched?

    Since upgrading to Lion each time I click on a file (and the program opens) in addition to the file I clicked on also the most recent file I had open in that program opens also.  Is there any way to prevent this action?

  • HT1338 Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update for Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 on iMac mid-2007 that downloaded automatically on iMac mid-2011

    Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update on my iMac mid-2007, but it downloaded it automatically on my iMac mid-2011 yesterday. Both are running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to download the update manually from Apple on my older iMac, it downloads okay, but when I try to open the dmg file, I get a warning message saying that opening this update may make your computer LESS secure. Do you want to proceed? (I did not).
    Why would Software Update find this update and install it automatically on one iMac and not the other, if they are both running the same version of Mac OS X Lion? I checked the installed software list on my old iMac and the Java update does not appear there. Why would this update make my old iMac less secure?

    Recall that Java is not installed as part of Lion.
    You have to install it (and are asked if you want to) when you first try to run some java stuff.
    Is it possible that the iMac 2007 does not have Java yet?
    Try this: open Terminal (from Utilities) and type java -version (exactly like that, with the space before the hyphen).
    What do you get?
    Consistent with this theory is that the dmg thing gave you the warning - installing java might make your machine less secure because java is a means for bad guys to try to do bad things to your computer.
