Mountain lion hung with beach ball upon initial restart

Itunes in external HD slow with beach ball on only certain songs

My itunes folder has always been in an external folder and ran smooth and quick when I would choose any random song. I have about 1500 songs yet only some songs will load with a 5 second delay and rolling beach ball. Is it the newer 8.2 version of itunes, is it the HD? Help.

I've just had exactly the same problem and it coincided with me moving my music folder to a new external hard drive (it was previously on another smaller drive and also upgrading from Panther (10.3.9) to Tiger (10.4.9). I don't think it's a drive problem and name length issue as during the 4 hours last night I was trying to sort this out by moving around folders, consolidating etc etc the actual albums that were getting lost were changing! At one point I transferred all of my music back to the internal drive (to rule out the external drive issue) and using the same library, pointed at the new folder and it all seemed to work OK. However, after a bit more fiddling I started to lose links to albums from there as well. I then looked at the iTunes Music Library.xml file and it seemed that those that were missing had paths to the other external drive still. No matter what I did, I could not get it to rebuild the library with all music in the same location. In the end I trashed the library and dragged all of the music back into iTunes again, which seems to be working OK at the moment - but all of my music is now on the internal drive taking up space whereas I really want it on the external drive again. In the process I have obviously lost all my playlists (why can't I just drag them back from my iPod as they're all on there, but I can't seem to be able to copy them back into iTunes which is a pain?).
I'm still going to try to get to music back onto the hard drive when I get some more time and have noticed in another thread that some people actually have the library on their exetral drive as well, whereas mine has always been in the iTunes folder on the internal drive. How to I move it to the external drive as well - just pick up and drop? Would this help?
I notice that everyone with this problem has OS 10.4.9 - is this just a coincidence? Did your problems coincide with the update as well?

Can't Upgrade from OS 9.2.2 to OS X 10.3 - Apple Screen with "Beach Ball"

Hey,
I am trying to upgrade from OS 9.2.2 to OS X 10.3 Panther. So I purchase Mac OS X 10.3 Panther v.10.3.2 Retail, from eBay, used. I get my software in, and all three install discs are there, including the Xcode disc. So I throw 'Install Disc 1' into my Blue & White Yosemite G3. I restart and I've been staring at a screen with a big grey apple and the swirling "Beach Ball" at the bottom. It does nothing else, I even left, went and spoke with a professor, came back and it's still doing nothing. I checked and I have a G3 with Rev.2, so does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do, maybe what I've done wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Welcome To Discussions Skott M.!
"...it has a 6GB HDD."
As Kappy posted, "You will need at least 8 GBs of free space on the hard drive."
Is the RAM original or added? OS X is more discerning about RAM type, that OS 9.
See if you are able to use the Startup Manager, to select OS 9 as the startup volume.
EDIT: Do the Panther CDs look exactly like THESE, and do not say Upgrade on them?

Mail crashes with beach ball on composing email

Seem to be able to recreate this twice in 30 mins...
was an existing users email that had been previously drafted with content ( no attachemnts) in the message body.
Had to force quit mail and then restarted computer.
the previous email draft was then reopened and the beach ball appared immediately, all of this is ultimately ineracting with an IMAP server.
was able to copy the text from the message body and quit mail then ended up using a webmail application..
Mail is sending and receiving no problems.
I would like to look into some logs to get some clues on this one but not sure where to look ? As although I describe it as a crash I don't believe the system agrees - I can't see any thing under:
~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Mail.crash.log

I think I've diagnosed the problem. It was (I think) being caused by GrowlMail - a plugin installed by Growl. It seems to have started happening after the most recent Quicktime update, so that points to a possible incompatibility there....

IPhoto freezes with beach ball when starting

I have my iPhoto library on an external drive, and it's about 53GB in size.
After I upgraded to 09 I had a problem with the Faces scan that are detailed in [this post.|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1969073&tstart=0]
I solved the Faces freeze by trashing my plist file. Launching iPhoto 09 worked a couple of times after that.
Now I have a new problem, similar to the one in [this thread.|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1955573&tstart=15]. iPhoto uses 100% of one processor on launch, and I left it running all night last night and it never got past the blank window with spinning beach ball. I had to force quit.
I tried to vacuum my database file per the instructions in that thread but I get this error:
SQL error: database disk image is malformed
Is my library trashed? I have a backup but I'd lose my Faces scan again. Is there any way to repair this? Disk Utility says the disk is fine.

Terence Devlin wrote:
The reason I asked about the format of the disk is that folks report issues with Libraries stored on disks that are not formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Terence could you tell me more? I have not found the corresponding post.
I have a huge (10K photos, 50GB) library on a RAID server under linux formatted as ext 2.
I am not a designer playing with fonts.
After I upgraded to iPhoto '09 from the DVD, it converted my library and I started to look at the animation which crashed in the middle (face recognition was running in the background).
Any attempt to restart iPhoto failed (empty window with spinning wheel).
Then I downloaded the last version of iPhoto.
I restarted from a clean copy of the iPhoto library.=>Same failure.
I try to rebuild everything (except the database which was not an option).=> same failre
I copied a smaller iphoto library on the local hard disc => it works.

IPhoto hanging up with beach ball.

I suspect my problem may be more with the Mac Mini than iPhoto, so I'm posting my question to this forum (as well as the iPhoto forum).
Running Snow Leopard on my aged Mac Mini, iPhoto has begun to hang up for 20-30 minutes with a spinning beach ball whenever I attempt to navigate around my library (by clicking Photos from Events, or vice versa, or attenpting to open an event) - really, anything.
I have used the Option/Command combo to "rebuild the library from automated backups" as one user suggested. I have also used a 3rd party software to rebuild the library.
I have used the option key on startup to build a new library. After adding a few pictures the problem begins again.
I deleted iPhoto and bought a new copy, but no help.
I have repaired permissions and verfied the disk with Disk Utility.
I have eliminated all the accounts to which iPhoto was subscribed (as suggested in a MacWorld hint).
Any further ideas? Thanks

I've got the same issue.
I've tried rebuilding the database within iPhoto to no avail.
using iPhoto Library Manager, it starts creating the rebuilts library then fails with...
Apple event timed out ('core'/'getd' (returnID 1) { ---- = object specifier: {objectClass = 'ikwd'; keyForm = 'indx'; keyData = 'abso'(36206C6C6136); container = (null)}; rtyp = 'obj '})
Anyone any other ideas?

I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note. I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds. I can't get rid of it. I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch. But, Notes will not stop. It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

Create data merged document with data on every second page?

Is it possible to create a data merged document with the variable data only on every second page?
I have set up the pages with the variable data as a master page (on every odd page) with the text box and paragraph style all set up, and I have set 'override master page items' so the data can be placed, but InDesign seems to freeze up when I try to create the merged document?

There should be no problem doing the merge with a two-page master and a two-page template document with fields only on one page (and off the top of my head there's no reason to move them off the master page if that's where you put them). I think the problem here is that rachrachm already has a file of 500 pages (based on another thread asking how to apply masters to every other page).
It's potentially possible to simply place the data file (without the header row) as a text file and auto-flow through the master page frames (can't say for sure without seeing the files), or if the pages without the merge fields are the same just, remove all but the first two pages from the template and do the merge.
As I metioned earlier, though, this is a very inefficient method of producing that sort of document. A true variable data print flow would be better (you'd need to find a commercial printer who can do it with your data file), or the home version would be to make one single page file for the static content, print 250 copies (plus a few extras, just in case), then make a single page merge template, do the merge, and print that on the back of the already printed pages, or as a separate page. It is immeasurably faster to print multiple copies of a document than it is to print a document that has multiple identical pages.

With every second or third file I want to export I get the remark "Not enough memory"

After I have edited an image in Lightroom CC I always export my files to an external hard drive. Lately I get the remark "Not enough memory with every second or third file. Sometimes even with the first file I want to export.
My RAM memory is 4.00 GB and I stil have 3.25 GB available. I have cleaned my C-drive. When I look at the specifications of LR CC I see that there is a fysical memory available of 719 MB, but LR is using more than that, so it is probably using virtual memory. Could that be the problem and how do I solve the problem.
I never have any of this problem with other software.

I have LR 5.3 installed on 2 partitions on the same PC and same HD:
Partition 1 has Win 7 32bit 4GB RAM
Partition 2 has Win 7 64bit 8GB RAM
On the 32bit partition, now that I am using larger raw files from a Nikon D610, I find LR not fit for purpose. I get numerous problems while editing and also get "Not enough memory" when exporting.
On the 64bit partition, everything works as should.
AS I've said before: With image files getting increasingly larger, Adobe are way too optimistic, and dare I say - disingenuous, when stating in their System Requirements: "2GB of RAM (4GB recommended)". This can only lead to dissatisfied customers.
So, as dj_paige says: "The best solution, almost guaranteed to work, is to have both a 64 bit operating system AND 8 GB or more of memory. Upgrading only one or the other probably won't work, you need both."
Works for me!

Why do I get a stall every few minutes with a "Pages unresponsive" error frame when using iCloud e-Mail?

Friends: Has anyone heard or seen a suggestion from any source on how to eliminate the several minute stall every several minutes when using iCloud E-Mail through any browser (Safari, IE-11, Chrome) on any Microsoft OS (WIN-8.1, WIN-7-SP1, WIN-XP)? I've seen several other folks express frustration but have seen no actionable replies.
Thanks, George

Absolutely no one posted a reply or suggestion in over a month. Not even one. So, I'm abandoning this query.
If someone in posterity sees this post, please don't reply because it will not be monitored.
Thanks anyway - GeorgeIP

Stalling every few minutes.

I purchased my MacBook Pro last October, and I've had to take it in to the Apple Store twice already within the span of a few months. The first time, they replaced the hard drive cable, and the second, they replaced the hard drive itself. Since I got it back the last time, it's been stalling every few minutes. The little spinning loading wheel shows up and everything freezes for a few minutes, but I'm able to move my mouse around. I have no idea what's going on with it, and I'm dreading having to take it in again, considering I live so far away from the closest Apple store. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Does it stall when you do certain things ? or even without any activity ?
You should boot from your MacBook Pro DVD and if it doesn't freeze there, then it would be the HD or the SATA cable connecting the hard drive to the SATA port on the Main Logic Board or the on-board SATA port itself (the last one is very rare to occur however I faced it a couple of times before). Further if your Mac OS X DVD won't boot normally or having the same issue, then very likely, it would be the SATA controller which is basically the most important chip on the MLB (Integrated North & South Bridge) which connects everything together including the Processor, memory and Storage. The SuperDrive is connecting using a different SATA port on the MLB but also shared to everything through the integrated bridge chip. At this case, if you have any installed Mac OS on an external FireWire or USB drives, you should try booting from it.
First, and after booting from the DVD and select your language, go to the Menu Bar > Utilities > Disk Utility, then select your hard dive volume from the list on the left (should be Macintosh HD by default) and on the right section click on Verify Disk on the bottom right corner then see if that will return errors or tells you the disk is OK, if it returns errors then click on Repair Disk and wait to see if it will fix these errors or not, if it returns the disk to be OK, then you might have one of the two other causes.
I'm of course assuming that your issue is not by anyway related to software or OS. As you had been already visiting Apple and they addressed the issue with the cable then the HD.
Also you should hurry up because your machine will get out of warranty soon unless if you have purchased AppleCare.

ITunes 10.0.1 - beach balls with every move

My iTunes 10.0.1 (22) has become so slow with almost every move I make (selecting a song, play/stop, updating info, etc) which results in about a 5-10 second beach ball. I noticed my standard Real Mem usage is running between 600MB-900MB with CPU spiking over 90% with every move. I've reinstalled OSX (10.6.4), iTunes, rebuilt my Library via Consolidation but same. Now my standard Library is large (~170,000 songs stored all on a firewire 2TB drive - which I know is not the norm. But as an experiment I set up a new user built a new library local, added about 5,000 songs and similar results. Also to playback any video via iTunes is almost unusable as it stops and stutters all the way.
Any thoughts? Also is there anyone with a similar size library that can share what their normal memory usage is? This has become so painful to use but with the time invested in building this library with all the details it is out of the questions on changing to something else.
Thanks

HI Bob...

Since you are experiencing problems in more then one user account, follow the instructions here under: Try Disk Utility Check the startup disk for errors just in case.
Check for free disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

I see "radioshift*...
According to the site, the software is 10.5 compatible but no mention of Snow Leopard v10.6. http://radioshift.en.softonic.com/mac
Looks like: BetterTouchTool could also be a factor. http://blog.boastr.net/

When I plug in ipod, it connects/disconnects every second, forever..Win-7

My ipod worked fine when I was running XP, but when I changed to Windows 7 (32bit), it started doing this thing where it would disconnect and connect every second, for as long as it's little heart desired.
i tried:
-letting it die
-restarting it
-all possible solutions provided by itunes help
-putting it into disk mode
-reformatting it (it worked on dad's comp: win xp)
other facts:
-it still charges
-still plays music when not connected to computer

Having the same problem with Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Started about a month ago. Gen 1 iPod video that I have updates and connects fine, just not my 4Gen Nano. Sent it in for repair, they sent me back a different one, having the same problem.
