Machine locks up with spinning colored ball while in finder
Frequently, while doing searches through my photos with Finder and trying to copy a photo from one folder to another the system locks up with the spinning colored ball. How do I kill the action(on my PC it was Control Alt Delete).
My system is MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014 16 GB)

Why do I get a round spinning color ball that locks my system?

My 24” iMac seems to gets the spinning colored ball a lot, seems it is running slow a lot more than it did before any suggestion?
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts? -
I just purchases my macbook pro about two weeks ago. There is a spinning colored ball on the page where i put in my password to log in. It has been spinning for three hours. What am i suppose to do??
The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -

After trying to copy and paste something from the internet to an email a swirling color ball appeared on my computer and won't go away. I've force quit my email and shut down the computer, but every time I open my email the spinning ball is back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How long have you waited? Could be trying to sort something out.
Seems odd. Just gone off the deep end without reason.
guesses
1) try safe boot
2) file system corruption -- run disk utility to check out file system
3) messed up preferences -- set up a new user to see if mail works.
try safe boot
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
is being checked.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
I suspect disk corruptions.
verify & repair your startup drive
To verify & repair you file system on the startup drive, you will need to run disk utility from you installation DVD.
This article will tell you how to get to disk utility. Once in a disk utility, you can go and attempt to recover the disk.

To repair your startup drive, you will need to run disk utility from your startup DVD.
Mac OS X 10.4: About the utilities available on the Mac OS X 10.4 Install DVD
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2055
How to run disk utility from your startup DVD.
Insert your startup DVD into your reader. Power down your machine. Hold down to the c key. Power on your machine. This will bootup your startup DVD.
This will bring you to a panel asking you for your language. Pick your language.
You you come to the Install Mac OS panel. Do not install.
Click on Utilities menu item. This will give you a pulldown list of utilities.
Click on the disk utility.
You are now in disk utility. Pick your disk. Click on repair it should be on the lower right of the panel.
Once the repair completes successfully, you should update your permissions.
Create a new account and see if mails works. If it works, suspect bad preference.
Create new Account
blue apple > system preferences
clicks on accounts icon
click on lock icon if locked.
enter logon password
click on + icon ( left side of screen just above the lock icon )
after creating new account, you need to logout of your current account.
blue apple > log out ... current count name ...
log on to new account. see if problem goes away.
if it has gone away rename finder preference ( Not sure of name ) ... reboot. -
Someone with two macs pls help with spinning beach ball
Sometimes I download pictures to my MacBook from my camera and then transfer them to my main library on my G5 using photo sharing in iPhoto.
If "look for shared photos" is enabled on the MacBook and "share my photos" is enabled on the G5, I get a long hang and a spinning beach-ball in when I launch iPhoto on the MacBook The hang seems subsequently affects the G5. They both hang for a good 15-30 seconds.
While this is happening the Application Monitor shows a root process called "mds" using 99% of the MacBook CPU. Once the hang is over the mds process goes away. The G5 while still hanging simply shows iPhoto as not responding, no mds process.
I've wiped the MacBook clean, set up new accounts. Nothing seems to fix it. The question is; am I alone? Can someone else go through the steps and get iPhoto to launch with iPhoto already running on another networked mac with photo sharing enabled and not get a spinning beach-ball.
This was also a problem in iPhoto 06'. I was really hoping Apple got my feedback and fixed in 08' Maybe something is wrong with my MacBook.Hi.
mds is the indexing process, usually run by Spotlight when looking for files, folders, servers, etc.
that's the reason why you get the delay when seeking your images using the sharing function. Your mac is searching for the requested service (your photo sharing "server"...your other mac), and it cannot find it because of the firewall that's built in to the mac. Whether you're doing this via a wireless or an Ethernet connection, you'll need to assure that your firewalls on
both computers are open to allow that type of sharing to take place.
Take a look in your System Prefs, under the Sharing icon. Click on the "Firewall" button and, after authenticating with your password, scroll down and select the option for "iPhoto Bonjour Sharing". You'll need to do this on BOTH machines, as the port is used by each for communication.
That should solve the problem..
Cheers,

Wireless Internet Lags with Spinning Color Wheel, but only on My MBP
I've noticed for the past 2 weeks or so my internet connection has been really laggy and it takes forever to do anything. If I click on something, the spinning color wheel shows up. If I scroll up or down the page, the spinning color wheel shows up. I've tried clearing cache and it'll speed things back to normal for a few hours, but it'll go back to being really slow.
Right now the spinning color wheel isn't showing up, but it might as well be cause the wait time is the same. It'll take roughly 5-10 seconds to scroll.
I'm using Firefox as my Internet browser if that makes any difference. When I check the Activity Monitor, the %CPU for it ranges from 14.9 to 76.9 to 105.7. That's the only thing with more than 1%CPU? As for System Memory, I have:
FREE: 287.6 MB, WIRED: 764.4 MB, ACTIVE: 2.11 GB, INACTIVE: 885.8 MB, USED: 3.73 GB (the numbers keep changing though)
The other laptops using the same wireless connection don't have the same problem however. One's a Windows Vista machine while the other is also a MacBook Pro (though one year newer than mine).
Does anyone have any idea what might be affecting this and how I can fix this? Thanks in advance for any help!Clone the system to the SSD (250GB $120 EVO 850 Samsung) using CCC -
http://www.bombich.com
Might be a good time though to do a clean install and then use Setup Assistant
No maintenance?
Always have a couple bootable system drives, one for maintenance, one from last month or just prior to when you last made changes to the system.
Take a look in Activity Monitor for pageouts, disk usage, and what is running
And start TimeMachine backup routine,
Copy your data to a new 2TB drive like WD Black ~$120 also
Leave the old drive as is for now, later you can erase and try using for a backup -
Problem with Spinning Beach Balls
I am hoping someone can help me diagnose my issue and help me understand the log below. About every other month on my MBP I run into system slow down and spinning beach balls. I run disk utility and it tells me my disk is corrupted and needs to be repaired. I run Disk Warrior and the disk is repaired and problem goes away. For awhile. Only to return in a month or two. Getting tiring to have to keep doing this.
I needed to repair it again this am. The log of Disk Warrior (copied below) seems to suggest something is wrong with a file called .Mobilebackups under the HD. When I search the HD I cannot find this file nor do I do any mobile backups of my phone. How can I permanently resolve this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
DiskWarrior has successfully built a new optimized directory for the disk named "Macintosh HD." The new directory is ready to replace the original directory.
Notes:
All file and folder data was easily located.
Comparison of the original and replacement directories indicates that there will be changes to the number, the contents and/or the attributes of the files and folders. It is recommended that you preview the replacement directory and examine the items listed below. All files and folders were compared and a total of 21,365,288 comparison tests were performed.
• Errors, if any, in the directory structure such as tree depth, header node, map nodes, node size, node counts, node links, indexes and more have been repaired.

Trouble with spinning color wheel
Still having the same issues with the spinning color wheel. Took my computer into Apple; seemed to "fix" it but as soon as I brought it back home and started using it again the same issue with the color wheel constantly spinning. Has ANYONE had success with fixing this problem?!!! I've tried everything suggested and like I said, took it into Apple and that hasn't helped.

Large online photo files cause slow Mac with spinning color wheel
My Mac Mini has been gradually getting slower to launch apps, any app, and now usually includes 15-30 seconds of spinning color wheel. Sometimes I get the wheel and delays while browsing. Finder windows populate slowly with file icons/names.
This behavior seems to have started, and gradually increased, since upgrading to 10.6 about 8 months ago but it also seems to be related to viewing large photo files online, since Snow Leopard.
One repeatable problem is viewing a large 2 or 3mb photo file online. I notice in Activity Monitor that Safari (both 4 and now 5 at 64bit) will dramatically increase the Real and Virtual Memory used, and not decrease even after the browser window is closed. In a few minutes the User CPU % will max out (at about 75% while System uses 25%) and the Mac while freeze for several minutes (Safari not responding) until CPU usage goes back to normal, but the Mac will be so sluggish then that I have to restart. I usually Force Quit Safari.
I have Repaired Permissions (1000s of Airport Utility were repaired but the JavaVM permissions report fixed but are on the list of repairs again a few minutes later) with Disk Utility and Cocktail, scanned with VirusBarrier X6, monitored network connections for months using Little Snitch and usually leave open Activity Monitor for checking out the action. I have read a lot of support docs and forums but I can't find the problem.
Any idea how to rid myself of this bizarre behavior?start with http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html

MacBook Pro with spinning Color Wheel - and Java?
My MacBook Pro has recently developed a spinning color wheel when it's "thinking". At the same time, my system seems slower now. I have more than 60% storage still available. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I live in a rather large town and have Comcast Xfinity which is satisfactory and has never gone out.
My other question is regarding JAVA. Is it necessary? What's it for? I constantly get messages that Java need updating …is this something I can remove? If so, how do I do this safely and completely?
Thank you!

Finder periodically plagued with Spinning Beach Ball of Death
SBBOD = Spinning Beach Ball of Death
Could someone who understands MacOS X internals please explain to me why the finder needs to wait for an external Firewire drive to spin up to:
1. Open an app from the doc. (sbbod until the FW drive spins up)
2. Quit an app via right clicking the dock icon of the app. (shows 'Application not Responding' until FW drive spins up then
'quit' is the available choice)
3. Get a running program to respond. (sbbod then app responds as usual when FW drive spins up)
Let me set the scene. I do not have 'put drives to sleep' in energy saver. Spotlight is configured to ignore all of my external volumes. None of my apps use the external volumes for scratch or anything else. I rarely if ever directly save to an external volume from any application. I cannot change the behavior of the FW drive going into Stand-By mode (I've checked with Seagate and the feature is not changeable via firmware or dip-switch/jumper settings)
My only thought is poor filesystem buffer cache management. Problem is even that doesn't make sense. If I haven't read from or written to the external drives there shouldn't be ANY in memory buffers associated with the now in stand-by state firewire drive.
The SBBOD usually only takes 5-10 seconds to go away and Finder behavior to return to normal. I know it sounds 'petty' but it definitely is a flaw in what is supposed to be (and usually is) a very responsive GUI. I've experienced this annoying behavior with the standard Apple apps (Mail, Address Book, iCal, iTunes etc) and my 3rd party apps (Photoshop CS3, Excel, Word, Cisco VPN client. I'm thinking about writing a crontab entry to 'touch' the FW drive every few minutes to keep it spun up as a workaround.
Running 10.6.1 and hoping Apple would have gotten it right with this release.AFAIK, the Seagate bare HDs don't have that limitation. At least the 750 GB SATA, ST3750640AS, one doesn't have the standby mode. Neither do any in that family.

Spinning Beach ball while in Safari
I had an issue where I was trying to view a video from a website and received a message stating Adobe was working slow and do I want to quit. I said yes but then the beach ball appeared and no matter what I did (after allowing it to spin for a little while, thinking it would stop) I couldn't get out of the screen. I tried viewing other browser windows I had open, but still had the spinning beach ball. I couldn't open Finder or anything. On a PC, I could go to task manager and quit an application. How do I do that on a Mac? I tried CTL, ALT, Delete, or CTL, ALT, Command and whatever other combination I could think of. Finally I gave up and pressed the power button. I received the message asking if I wanted to Shut Down or Cancel. I said yes to shut it down but it didn't and the ball kept spinning. Finally I pressed the power button and held it until the computer shut down manually. I don't like doing that but I didn't know what else to do. Can someone tell me what I should do in a situation like this? I've had the spinning beach ball a couple times in the past week but for some reason today, it just wouldn't stop and I couldn't do anything on the computer.
Thank youAfter solving the spinning beach ball: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html go to Adobe's site and download the latest Flash Player at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and get the uninstaller at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Uninstall the Flash Player and install the latest version, repair permissions, restart, and give Safari another try.
