Inbox is only showing a spinning wheel

Hi,
My mail in the macbook pro stopped receiving mail. All I see is a spinning wheel next to the inbox. Can anyone give me some technical advice?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

The Apps window in my Creative Cloud updater is only showing a spinning blue wheel

I've just updated my app installer to the latest Creative Cloud one but when I open it up, the Apps window only shows a spinning blue wheel, no apps. The other windows (Assets, Community) seem fine.@

I faced the same problem and hours of searching peoples various solutions. Tried everything under the sun over the last 10 hours to get the Creative Cloud Apps to stop spinning it's blue wheel... and FINALLY I have managed to get this to work for me, using the CC Cleaner tool. Hopefully it works for others also:
Solution 2: Run the CC Cleaner tool
Run the CC Cleaner tool to remove the current installation of the Creative Cloud Desktop application. For information on how to download and use the CC Cleaner Tool, see Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6.
Choose option 3 within the CC Cleaner Tool and then Option 1.
Mac OS: Rename the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE to OOBE.old.
Windows: Rename the following OOBE folders to OOBE.old:
\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
\Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

My creative cloud app shows a spinning wheel that never stops. It won't show that I am downloading the photoshop trial. How do I fix this problem?

Lion internet recovery only shows a spinning globe

I had boot camp on OS X Lion, with Windows 7 installed. I decided that I wanted to install a third OS (Linux) so I used the partioning tool in Windows. I made sure that i partitioned the windows hard drive, so it wouldnt effect my mac side. when I re started the macbook, i had no option to boot in the mac side, the icon was gone, even the recovery was gone, so i booted into windows, only to have it give me a blue screen (which dissapeared too fast for me to read) and the the computer re started, and kept doing it over and over. so i popped in my windows 7 disk, and re installed it on the windows partition of the hard drive and when it was installed i installed my boot camp drivers (I had them on a disk) and it asked me to re boot, so i did, only to have it give a blue screen again. so i installed windows yet again, and extracted the drivers from the disk, and only installed them, but i did not install boot camp. so now i am running windows on my computer, without boot camp, and no mac side. now, part 2 of my problem. when i try to use Lion Internet Recovery, it gets to the spinning globe, but does not give me a progress bar. it just shows a spinning globe for hours, and nothing else, until i get tired and just boot into the windows side and deal with windows. when i go into "Computer" in my windows side, it shows the partition of my hard drive (320 GB) which should be my mac side, but it says that there are no files on it, and the full 320 GB is just free space. what can i do to get my mac side back?

My ipod touch 1st gen will only show the turning wheel

my ipod touch 1st generation 8gn will only show the apple icon & the turning wheel & will not do anything else, what can I do to fix this problem? Thanks

Try here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Frozen and unresponsive
If not unsuccessful, try letting the battery fully drain and then charge and try again.

I cannot access any apps on creative cloud. I only get a spinning wheel icon.

The creative cloud merely has an indefinitely spinning icon whenever I try to access apps. In short, I can't access apps. I can't even access trial apps. No idea what the problem is. I've paid for this service, I may have to terminate it.

This was happening to me too. ANAND8502's link helped, here's what I did:
Uninstalled the Creative Cloud app
Solution 2: Remove any Creative Suite 5 or Elements 11 related Update Inventory files
If the App panel still doesn't load, then remove the Creative Suite 5 and Photoshop/Premiere Elements related Update inventory files. WARNING: This step disables the ability for the affected software titles to receive any additional automatic updates. You can manually download and apply updates from Product Updates.
The updater inventory files are stored in the following locations:
Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/
Windows: \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\
And this one for good measure (ignoring quitting and relaunching as I uninstalled it)
Solution 6: Delete the contents of the OOBE folder and relaunch the Creative Cloud app
Quit the Creative Cloud app from the gear icon in the upper-right corner.
Browse to the following location based on your operating system
Mac OS: /Users/<user folder>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
Note: The \Users\<user folder>\Library\ is hidden by default after 10.7. See the following document for instructions on accessing it if necessary: Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
Windows: C:\Users\<user folder>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Note: The AppData is hidden with Windows default settings. See the following document for instructions to show it if needed: Show hidden files, folders, filename extensions | Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7.
Delete the entire contents of the OOBE folder.Note: This folder is the one containing the opm.db file from solution 2.
Restart the computer and launch the Creative Cloud app again.Note: The app can take slightly longer than usual to load with this solution, as content in the OOBE folder is rebuilt after launch.
Reinstalled. Got the spinning wheel again and thought it didn't work, but after about 30 seconds it finally worked this time.

My Screen just shows a spinning wheel.

My ipad screen is black with just a spinning wheel in the centre. It's being going for an hour. I can't turn it off or connect to itunes. What do I do?

Try resetting: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

After installation of cc the cc window is blank and i only see a spinning wheel.

Hi
I am new to the cloud thing. I am using a MacBook Air running Maverick.
So I download and then install the creative cloud installer. THat seems to be going ok, and the cloud icon appears on my toolbar. Clicking on it opens a window, as expected, with one spinning wheel in it. nothing else. As if it is waiting for some input, but I can't see any way of inputing anything here.
And this is how it stays. forever. What is it waiting for and more importantly what can I do to now with it?
Seems I am missing something here?
thanks
b.

Hm. Thanks for the info. but none of that seems to apply to me.
I done all of the suggested steps.
1) rebooting..no change
2) uninstalling /re-installing ... no change
There is no error message, at least none that I see. (Where would I see that?)
Also, there is no "tab" i could switch away from and back to. All I have is an empty window with a spinning wheel. There is a black bar at the top with the title "Creative Cloud" and a cog wheel menu with the options to 1) help 2) open as window 3) quit.
I don't see any other menus and no preferences to set.
It looks like it's waiting for something, but I don't see any pop up window, or input field it would be waiting for. It's strange.
that's all i can see right now

After Software Update Only Logo and Spinning Wheel Appear

After downloading latest versions of Safari, OSX, and iTunes suggested via software update, a message stating that not all software (iTunes) instatlled. Restart resulted in the Apple logo and spinning wheel and never continued to completion. A hardware test using supplied disc resulted in a pass for tests run. I cannot boot the software restore disc when restarting and holding down C key. Anyone experience something similar? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
Try a Safe mode boot (hold Shift while booting).
Safe mode boots take longer, so be patient.
If successful, at the login window, click Restart, and allow a normal boot.

My System Preferances is not responding & showing a spinning wheel

In my Mac book Air I am not able to system preferences as whenever i try to open i get on screen is a desk top & screen saver with a spinning wheel.
Can anyone help me as i have tried everything to make my System preferances respond

1.
Shut down your Mac.
2.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3.
Turn on the computer.
4.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
5.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6.
Release the keys.

IMac won't start; I only get the spinning wheel

iMac (probably 3 to 4 years old)------I don't think this is an Intel.
I have a password to enter upon turning on iMac
What I did:
I backed up my files on an external drive.
I ejected the external drive & unplugged it from the iMac.
Selected Shut Down. Screen went blue (I think) then did NOT shut down. I waited 10 minutes or so. Still didn't shut down.
I pressed power button to shut off. Waited a few minutes then turned on. The grey screen with Apple logo and spin wheel appeared and that's as far as I can get.
I tried turning off and on but never got past the Apple logo/spin wheel.
I unplugged power, mouse and keyboard, replugged them in. Turned on but still no luck.
I hope you can help.

it sounds very much like your hdd has died, however, if it has, at least you have the good fortune to have backed up your system.
try booting by holding the alt key. if you can get to utilities perhaps you will have a better understanding of what is going on there.
the reason you cannot get past the spinning wheel is that the mac cannot access the startup volume which is your hdd.
if this is the case then dont be too disheartened, take this opportunity to consider a ssd for your machine it will give it an especially good new lease of life.

My iPhoto won't load. I click on it and it just keeps showing the spinning wheel like it's loading, but it doesn't. It doesn't even show my albums anymore. What do I do? Should I get the iPhoto '11 and maybe that would work?

I don't know what to do. I've restarted, I've tried redownloading and updating. It's really frustrating and upsetting. If anyone could help it'd be appreciated!!

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the new library can be created and open without a problem make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My ipod only shows apple on front and wont respond to any buttons.

My ipod only shows a spinning wheel and a apple and wont respond to any of the buttons to see what may be on it,it was a gift..

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Ipod has stopped working properly since the laptop shut down during synching.
My ipod is being slower and wont show any music. when I go into general settings it says the music and videos are loading..
It wont let me into settings all of the time either.
My applications and games have become slow or unresponsive.
The ipod keeps resetting itself, I have tried resetting it to no avail.
I tried plugging it into itunes but it freezes itunes and wont show up on my computer.
When I switch off the ipod it shows a spinning wheel until the battery dies, which could be nearly 2 hours!!
does anyone have any advice as to what to do?
currently ive reset it - nothing has happened
ive let the battery drain itself then recharged it to see if that would make a difference - no difference
Help ASAP needed

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

Iphoto will not open, only a spinning wheel, how do i find problem??

i have no idea how this happened but my iphoto will not open no matter what. if i try & open iphoto i only get a spinning wheel & it never opens, if i try & open a picture using iphoto same result !! my picture library seems to have vanished as well, if this sounds familiar please advise....

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.
