Keynote slow with rainbow wheel constantly after Lion update

I just recently installed Lion for my MacBook Pro and for some reason since the update, keynote has been running really slow and the rainbow wheel keeps on apearing. I'm pretty sure this isn't due to it saving because the saving bar doesn't show. It's really annoying me because I have a project due on Friday and I won't be able to get it finished by then. If someone could help me, that would be wonderful.

Yeah, this has me pretty miserable. I have a 708 MB keynote file that pretty much every time I start to add something new to it I wait for a spinning pinwheel, freezing me up for two or three minutes, and then an autosave occurs (the pop up window kind with status bar), and then it's done. It's way way WAY way WAY too slow.
Someone on another discussion area said you can use the new "Duplicate" option to get yourself a faster running copy, and then can save back to your original. I don't know if that works because the workflow just doesn't work for me. I've taken to working on my file copying chunks to separate files, and then copying them back when I'm done. It's sad, but what else can I do?
Please Apple, autosave is a nice idea, but as a software engineer we both know there's no reason why it should give me a beachball for several minutes over and over again. This really needs optimization in an update, and soon.

I'm having the exact same problem. Since installing Yosemite, my iMac (late-2013 model with 32GB of RAM) is constantly hanging ... the spinning beach ball pops up constantly. It pops up when I open files, it pops up when I open windows, it pops up when I close apps, it pops up when I open apps, etc., etc., etc. I've tried everything and can't get it to stop. And to make matters worse, I'm having the exact same problem on my 2010 iMac. It's driving me nuts.

My MacBook Pro is running very slow with the wheel constantly spinning. Can anyone please help?!?!

My MacBook is running very slow and the wheel is constantly spinning. It's not just using the internet as it takes forever to start, open programs, etc. It is even taking me a long time to type in this question as the spinning wheel keeps coming up. Below is the EtreCheck.   I would appreciate it if someone could please help me!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Updated my macbook pro mid 2009 to 10.9.4 and now it moves slow and rainbow wheels frequently

I updated my macbook pro mid 2009 to 10.9.4 and now it moves slow and rainbow wheels frequently. Is there a quick and easy fix? I tried looking online but things seemed very confusing. Any help would be appreciated.

I got a rainbow wheel when attempting to click on a pic in Iphoto. I can copy and paste the next time I have a problem but here is what I have so far.

I get the little color wheel constantly after each mouse function is there a fix ?

I get the little color wheel constantly after each mouse function is there a fix

Sorry, this is not possible in the current version of Firefox, but we have an open bug report where we are tracking this issue here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686228
With luck it will be fixed in a future version.

After LION update web Cam is no longer being detected at all. Does anyone have a fix? Thank you

After LION update web Cam is no longer being detected at all. Does anyone have a fix? Thank you

Thank you, Rod!
While researching frame rate I came across this helpful blog posting: Crazy about Captivate: Lessons Learned: Video and Resolution in Adobe Captivate
This is the line that caught my attention: "I discovered, after several experiments, that if you publish a course in Captivate as SCALABLE with a video inserted, no matter what the resolution, it makes the video look pixelated."
When I unclick the "scalable HTML content" button before publishing, the video is fine!
Big sigh of relief! Now I just need to figure out why audio won't play on one of the slides (it has an accordian widget, if that's relevant) and why I can no longer use Effects (I get the message, "Effect file is not valid")

My SuperDrive doesn't work after Lion update

My Superdrive doesn't work after Lion update, i have tried a few solutions that i found in forums, but nothing seems to work, please help me shed some light on my problem.
Thanks

I too have had the problem since updating to Lion. My superdrive isn't even recognized. I have repaid hard disk permissions and also reset PRAM. Sure wish I had a fix.

After lion update

Will my Bootcamp partion go away after Lion update and then have to reinstall BC?

No. Updating to Lion should not have any effect on your Windows partition. However, I would backup everything first just in case.

IMac running 10.7.3 stuck on rainbow wheel right after desktop launches and google chrome trying to restore a previous browsing session

Hello All - thanks in advance for your help with this.
The problem I'm encountering is on an iMac 24" from 2008, Intel Core 2Duo 1.3 GHz processor. I'm running 10.7.3 but have yet to install the client combo update.
My computer would not wake from sleep this morning after having been left on all night. The last two apps I had been running last night before this morning's freeze up were Google Chrome and iTunes. I restarted the computer and noticed at the login screen that one of the login accounts that is normally set up for use had disappeared. Once I logged in to my account, which had not disappeared, and arrived at the desktop, Chrome automatically tried to relaunch and restore the previous session with a note indicating that the browser had not been quit properly.
iTunes was running as well but had no functionality - non responsive to mouse click commands, etc. About thirty seconds later the rainbow wheel appeared and began spinning.
Tried force quitting both applications applications respectively but the finder was non-responsive as well. The dock would pop up when moused over but I was not permitted to select any of the icons. Restarted the computer and essentially the same thing occurred but I was able to quit out of iTunes this time before the rainbow wheel started.
Tried restarting with all peripheral hardware disconnected. No change. Tried booting up in safe mode - didn't work. Rebooted in disk utility mode - ran disk verification and was told all was well. Ran permissions verifications and was told there were problems. Repaired the permissions issues successfully. Rebooted again but same issue with desktop/apps freezing up. Rebooted into Disk Utility mode and tried a reinstall of lion - reinstall successul but upon normal reboot desktop still frozen once I launched Chrome and attempted to get to apple site to download the 10.7.3 patch.
Tried rebooting in disk utility mode to restore from a time machine back up - the external hard drive where my back ups are stored did not appear as a restore source even though I had reconnected the USB cable.
I then rebooted again into disk utility mode and tried to use safari to navigate to the apple site and download the 10.7.3 client combo update. No dice - received error messages saying the download could not be completed because there was insufficient memory available.
Called Apple - rep said I should take the computer in to the store - refused as of the time of the call because I had already wasted half the day on this and didn't want to flush the remainder down the toilet hanging around at the Apple store. So much for that - the day is now totally wasted any way.
Another couple of bits of information which may or may not be helpful:
When I'm in disk utility mode the disk image icon at the top of the list of disk images/mounts on the left hand side of the utility window is in red text: 320.07 GB WDC WD320...and the main dialogue box says: "This drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired. Back up Data and see Apple dealer for help." One might conclude that my computer is therefore dead...not exactly. This happened once before after trying to set up a bootcamp partition using XP instead of windows 7. XP is not supported by Lion but I was trying a work around. Soon thereafter I upgraded my OS to 10.7.2 (or.3 can't remember) using software updater instead of a full native download from the Apple Support site and the computer went bananas. After the upgrade I was getting the CUI ???? errors which have since become infamous. While working with Apple phone support on the CUI issue and using disk utility on that issue, that same red text disc image came up and the note about my hardware having failed as described above. Apple told me I was cooked and my machine was finished. They were wrong. I can't remember what I did but I worked on the problem a bit more and was eventually able to upgrade my OS from the native download and get my machine back in order and runnign fine.
I recently attempted the bootcamp partition (stupidly) work around for XP again without success - last week before all of the latest drama set in. YES I have learned my lession and will not attempt this again.
So that's what's going on - sorry for the Moby Dick lenght description but I figured the more details available the more likely some one is to know how to fix the problem.
Any thoughts, suggestions, HELP please!!!
Thanks.

My Mac is doing strange things: delaying between users, mouse flickering and bouncing, gets stuck with rainbow wheel flickering. I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error: 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233 Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

My imac is doing strange things:
-delaying between users: when closing session it goes to blue, then takes a while to appear users signin box, and then wont recognize mouse command to enter until a couple of minutes later... then everything seems alright until....
-it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....
-and every now and then the mouse starts flickering and bouncing wildly onscreen.
I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error:
4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233
Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
Hope you get it taken care of!

Macbook slow after lion update

Hi everybody,
i have a MacBook, the device is working fine with snow leopard, but when i updated to Lion, my MacBook is slow, i can not view the animation when i open the apps or the app is on full screen.
do i need to restore to factory defaults?
why snow leopard size is: 7.8GB and lion size is: 3.5GB?
Lion is only a update of snow leopard and is not
Best regards,

>Lion is only a update of snow leopard and is not
What makes you say that? Both are distinguishable from the predecessors based on the CPUs they will run on, and the amount of RAM they will run on. Both are paid for purchases from Apple.
Lion requires 2 GB of RAM and 7 GB of hard disk free. It also got rid of Rosetta, and CoreDuo, CoreSolo compatibility.
Snow Leopard requires 1 GB of RAM, and 5 GB of hard disk free. It also got rid of PowerPC CPU compatibility, though continued to include Rosetta.
Leopard requires 512MB of RAM and 9 GB of hard disk free. It got rid of Classic. It added Boot Camp. It adds certain iTunes to iPhone, iPad, and iPod compatibility.
As for your animation issue, is it with an application known to be Lion compatible?

And known to be compatible with your GPU?
Do you meet the system requirements?
Do you also have the arbitrarily found additional 15% of hard disk free that helps with Mac OS X in general on top of the specs?
Are your peripheral drivers, and router firmwre all known to be Lion compatible?

My macbook air (2 years old) runs very slow with "spinning wheel" operating very often

When I start up as well as operate my outlook for mac, the spinning wheel labors after startup and to search for various things. Is there a way to clean up the air to allow for faster operation. I have gone into History and cleared previous search sites, but this does not solve the problem. Thanks

Some people say that repairing disk permissions makes things better. In my experience I've noticed no difference after doing it, but just in case here is a detailed tutorial on how to do it:

Problems after Lion Update

I've had many problems after to do the Lion Update, I did a clean installation but the problems continue...
Sometimes the computer works, but in the biggest part of time I turn on and this become incredibly slow, and caps lock turn on alone, 'shift' doesn't work, I can't do nothing, I can't open anything. I tried turn back to Snow Leopard doing another clean install but the problems continue... I visited many forums and realize that this problem is very common between many people in the exactly same way...
I don't know what must be done. I hope someone give me a light.
Tks

i went to the apple store and they said nothing was wrong with my hardware. couldnt say much about the software. so they suggested i re-install my lion OS after i backed-up my stuff. they showed me to press control R or something to go to a menu to let me re-install. but i have forgetten what the combination of the keys are.
