Is there any reason or my why cursor is stuck on the spinning rainbow wheel?

Lately my macbook has been freezing, and I'm thinking that it's being overloaded. Most of the time the cursor is stuck on the spinning rainbow wheel, but it will eventually return back into the arrow. It's currently stuck as the spinning wheel, but I am able to click and access sites. Is there anything I should do to get this checked?
EDIT: When I open a new tab, the cursor goes back to normal. Is there any reason why it is doing that in the other tab?

Hi,
Use the PC KB and hold Windows key + r key at bootup.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

    Reset the device, restart the device, try downloading any other app.
    All of these are basic steps that could have been found by a simple search of the forums as a resolution for the issue.

  • I have a new MacBook(2012). Being a new Mac user, I do not know what to do when Safari doesn't open at all. The icon just bounces up and down and when the cursor is on the top main menu bar it is the spinning rainbow wheel.  Any ideas for help?

    When I try to open safari the icon stats bouncing and then nothing happens other than the cursor turning to a spinning rainbow wheel when it hoovers on the top main menu bar. I have shut down and restart several times. My safari worked yesterday and then today this, but with. I indication of a problem. I can't even get the browser window to open so that I can clear caches or reset anything. When I opened my computer this time I don't even get a bouncing icon. No recognition of selecting the program at all. If I go to spotlight and try to open safari from here I still get no response. Can you help?

    Hi ...
    If you have moved the Safari application from the Applications folder, move it back.
    As far as the cache goes, there's a work around for that when you can't empty the Safari cache from the menu bar.
    Go to    ~/Library/Caches/com.aple.Safari.Cache.db.  Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Try Safari.

    If that is corrrect, you need to update your system software. Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software

  • Is there any reason I shouldn't work this way?

    Given the lack of batch capture in FCE is there any reason why I shouldn't work in the following way:
    1. Import video in large chunks using capture now
    2. Use DV start stop and Make sub-clip
    3. Export just the sub-clips I want as self-contained movies
    4. Close the project and delete the original capture files and the FCE project file
    5. Start a new project and import the movies I saved in step 3.
    My reasons for wanting to do this are mainly to save disc space but also to reduce clutter in the bins. So far as I can see this works fine. The only downsides I can see are:
    1. The extra time it takes but this is offset against the chore of capturing individual clips instead of using capture now.
    2. The fact that reimported clips have their audio tracks set to mono mix but it seems easy enough to correct this. (As an aside, if I import a .mov file saved from Quicktime it imports into FCE with the audio set to stereo - why the difference?).
    I'd be happy enough working this way, I think, provided I could be confident that I'm not going to lose quality by saving and then re-importing. Will I? Are there any other downsides I've not thought of?

    You shouldn't lose any quality in the audio or video, but you may lose the timecode track. I'm not sure if you'll lose it, but if you do, you won't be able to recapture the project clips from the original tape because the timecode would be required. This isn't an issue, if you don't ever need to recapture. The timecode may even be retained... I'd have to do an export to see. As a matter of workflow, you may want to think seriously about keeping the timecode, because you can back-up your project file and have some assurance that you can recover from a chatastrophic failure simply by restoring the project file and recapturing from the original tape.
    Regarding your audio and video; unless you were to add effects to the video, there should be no loss in exporting and importing. Losses in DV are incurred when you add filters (alter the image) and recompress. The audio is uncompressed PCM, so no losses to be had there, unless you change the sampling rate.

  • Is there any reason photos in an album page display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    Is there any reason photos in an album page created in iweb display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    there are three displays in photos page:
    1) thumbnails grid - smallest
    2) deatial view and detail view slideshow - large
    3a) pop-up slideshow - vary - this is slideshow.html
    3b) or iphone/ipad slideshow phoneshow.html - iphone/ipad can't do pop-up
    it's difficult to know which you refer to.
    if you refer to pop-up slideshow then you should not look into iwebmediagrid.js as wyodor suggested.
    instead look in phoneshow.html and change width and heigth of element id slideshow:
    #slideshow {
    position: relative;
    width: 320px; /* this is default width */
    height: 360px; /* this is default height */
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    overflow: hidden;

  • Is there any reason to use FCP text vs. Borris 3D?

    Is there any reason to use FCP text vs. Borris 3D?
    Thanks.

    boris is vector based, and the basic fcp text is bitmapped. What that means is that you can resize and reposition your type in the control tab with boris without any loss in quality. You cannot do this with fcp text. Also, I think the dropshadow, kerning and leading options are more extensive with boris. Not positive about this as I abandoned the basic fcp titler a long time ago.

    You could try changing the settings in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Advanced/Require an Administator password to access locked preferences

  • TS2529 I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook

    If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
    For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore?  iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media.

  • Any reason not to put Lync Edge server on the same server that runs Web Application Proxy?

    We're currently running Lync 2010 standard server, without an edge server or reverse proxy.  I'm working on migrating to lync 2013 standard server, and would like to add the edge functionality in the process.  I have a Server 2012R2 in the dmz,
    with the web application proxy role installed.  I plan to use that to publish the lync web services.  Is there any reason I shouldn't install the lync edge server on the same computer? 

    It just won't work well as everything will want to bind to port 443 (the reverse proxy and the edge services as well).  On top of all that, it's just not supported.  A new virtual server will save you hours upon hours of frustration and leave you
    with a supported configuration.
