Persistent Spinning Beach Ball

I have a spinning beach ball problem that I can't resolve.
The computer will boot up to the login menu then when I login as a user (it happens with all users) the screen flips to my background then the beach ball starts. I can hear the drive working and over the course of 30 min. it eventually loads my desktop. After a few times of scrolling through the finder window with 5 min beach balls the window will scroll freely. Ditto with all other programs (Safari, Appleworks, Mail etc.) where after initial hangs they work with no beach balls.
Other oddities - Top right login menu does not highlight user and the words LOGOUTSTRING is displayed where it should read Login Menu at the bottom.
- Couldn't access System Profiler
- 2 days ago iMac would boot up to Login Window at this speed. It took about 45 min. but boots up fine now.
- Lately, prior to these beach balls I have been having trouble uploading pictures to iPhoto from my son's digital camera. Computer wouldn't recognize it as being connected at the USB port.
Tried - manual daily, weekly, monthly sudo file clean up
- fixing permissions
- deleted an odd iPhoto cache file that was dated 1903
- DiskWarrior wouldn't work because I got an error message. Hardware test OK though.
I have 55gb of available HD space according to Activity Monitor. Also, I have had it up during some beach ball incidents and it actually shows low CPU usage during those times. Printer works fine.
Connected to computer is Canon i350 printer and HP scanjet 3670
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi northernapple
deleted an odd iPhoto cache file that was dated
1903
that must have been a steam powered déraguer black
and white.
It sounds like your hard disk has a major problem.
Can you run Disk Warrior from a boot disk. If not,
can you boot from the OS X Install CD and run Repair
Disk from Disk Utilities? Then afterwards try to run
Diskwarrior if needed.
Attempt to back up your files now, as you may need to
reinstall your OS.
regards roam
Thanks Roam,
Just got back to it. Busy work week.
Hopefully a major reinstall will be the last resort but backing up now is definitely wise.
I was attempting to run DiskWarrior from the cd at the time. I may try that again after backup because I have been able to run permissions a couple of times whereas it previously hung part way through.

  • Spinning beach ball in menu bar, sys pref does not work etc

    Since last 2 days I have the following problem with Macbook:
    1. When i hover the cursor over the menu bar, the beach ball appears. this is for the Mac menu items such as Airport, Spotlight, Fast switching, time & date and also for iStatmenus. However, Little Snitch menu bar indicator is not affected
    2. Sysprefs also does not work. It opens up and immediately the beach ball appears and I can't click on any of the sys preferences
    3. If i try to watch a video, then the video will not display, though the progress indicator will happily be progressing away (QT, VLC etc)
    4. When i run in Safe mode, then everything seems to work ok (at least the menu bar, though the video part still doesn't work)
    5. And also in Normal mode, Safari/Netscape Navigator/Camino et al hang & the beach ball appears, but in safe mode they work ok though very sluggish.
    6. Though i can't be certain, I think all these problems began after iTunes crashed on me while running a podcast (?)
    I have tried everything; repair prefs and repair disk, have run Tinkertool system2 to see if that would help but to no avail. I even downloaded and installed OS X 10.6.7 Combo update-didn't do any good.

    I have been trying to deal with the same problem for the last week.
    My machine is a MBP 17" 4 GB 2.6GHz, 250 GB alluminum.
    1) I've immigrated my whole user apps and doc files to an IMAC 20" 2GB 2.66GHz 350 GB, and the system works just fine on the IMAC (I am using my system that used to be in the MBP right now).
    2) I've over written everything on the HD with zeros and have done a clean install of SNOW LEOPARD on my MBP, but as the system got loaded, already before any working files or app files have been reinstalled, the spinning beach ball appears on the upper RIGHT portion of the menu bar and makes the system inoperable.
    3) Done system update and made it into a 10.6.8 but the problem persists.
    I've basically done what Ravindra had tried.
    Please HELP.

  • Keynote 4 - selecting text in text frame causes spinning beach ball

    One friend of mine called me tonight and was seeking for help. He has Mac OS X 10.5.1 and Keynote 4.0.1. He imported picture in Keynote, added text frame on top of it and typed in some text. Then he went to another slide, but then returned back to resize text in the text frame. As soon he selects text, he gets spinning beach ball of death...
    I asked him to repair permissions and restart his MacBook Pro 17", but still he has the same problem. He tried the same with different font in the text frame - the same. As soon as he tries to select text in the text frame, he gets spinning beach ball again.
    Any ideas how to help him?...

    OK, Carolyn, I wrote down all my prefs (glad I did), trashed the prefs file, restarted, relaunched TextEdit, reset all my preferences to my liking (which had reverted to default settings), quit TextEdit. Then I tried double-clicking some text files -- and the same problem (#2 above) persists. None of my TextEdit or text files have TextEdit as the default launch application -- they're still all either "None" or "ams1108.html". And, as before, if I try to change it to "TextEdit" in the file's info box, then click on "change all," it does not work: not only does it not change all the text files to be TextEdit, but clicking "change all" will cause the file in question to revert to "None" or "ams1108.html". However, if I only change the default app for that one file to TextEdit, and don't click "change all," then it will stick -- for now at least. (Though I wouldn't be surprised if after a restart they all changed back to "None.")
    The short assessment is: trashing the prefs did NOT fix problem #2 above. It may or may not have fixed problem #1 -- hard to tell immediately, since the only way to find out is the use TextEdit for two days.
    So, setting aside problem #1 for now: any suggestions for fixing problem #2 (default app can't be changed to TextEdit by clicking "change all")? I have thousands and thousands of TextEdit files I use, so changing them all manually one-by-one isn't feasible. Thanks.

  • Clicking "All my Files" in Finder causes Spinning Beach Ball / Pinwheel

    When I open a new Finder window which defaults to "All My Files" or whenever I click on "All My Files" I get the spinning beach ball / pinwheel.
    When the Finder becomes responsive again I notice that at the top of "All My Files" is the "Contacts" and "Calendar" items.  However, only two contacts out of hundreds show up and only one calendar event (from the beginning of the year) shows up.  
    In the system log I am seeing the following two line every time I click on "All My Files"

    NOTE: I have done a "verify disk" in Disk Utility and it says the disk is fine, though I do have one of the Seagate drives that is listed for warranty repair on my iMac.

    Regarding the "Contacts" and "Calendar" items -- apparently those files were from saved attachments in the Downloads folder rather than coming from my Contacts address book or my Calendar.  I have deleted those -- I believe that was simply a red herring.
    The error in the system.log persists every time I click on "All My Files"

  • Spinning beach ball and no Finder icons

    I am trying to troubleshoot this problem:
    My brother was trying to move a lot of JPGs (3,500 of them!) by dragging from one folder to another, but he missed the target folder and they started appearing on his desktop. The only way he could think of to kill the process was to Restart.
    After restarting, the system seems to load normally EXCEPT all the icons on his desktop are missing (including the ones for his hard drives) AND the Finder cursor is the spinning beach ball.
    Mail, Safari, etc, will load and function normally, but he can't use the Finder. Activity Monitor shows the Finder using high 90s of %CPU.
    So far we have tried: Restarting in Safe Mode, Repairing permissions, and running Disk First Aid from the Install DVD - with no problems found and no helpful results.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    gw

    HI Gary,
    Besides trashing the Finder plist file which would have been my first idea first also, try deleting this one too: com.apple.desktop.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Your Mac will create new pref files for you.
    Also.. thought of something else. Go to a clear space on your Desktop so it says Finder in the Menu. Now click Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard. A Force Quit window will open. Select Finder in the list and click Relaunch.
    *** Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible) ***
    Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
    Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
    Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.

  • Spinning beach ball (again)

    I've been having a lot of "nonspecific" problems with my Mac Pro. They seem to happen more frequently after I've woken the computer from sleep. As far as I can tell, they are not application related. I get a spinning beach ball that persists for several moments, and then stops. Occasionally the entire system freezes and I have to hold the power button on the front of the computer to get it to shut down.
    A few days ago one of my hard drives failed. I thought that may have been the cause of the problems, but I've replaced the drive and I'm still experiencing the issues.
    I've booted from the Apple Install DVD and repaired all of my internal disks and repaired permissions several times. I've also run DiskWarrior 4.1 from an external disk. None of this has helped.
    Is there anything else I can do short of a total reinstall?

    I'm not sure what would constitute suspicious behavior in Activity Monitor? What should I be looking for?
    No, I don't have Little Snitch installed.
    It really does seem like the problems start after waking from sleep. Perhaps I should just avoid sleeping the computer. I had the "reboot on wake" problem so many others did, and that was fixed by the firmware update, but in all my years using Macs it seems like sleep has been a major source of problems.
    My computer is on all day because I'm working on it, and I have it set to automatically back-up at 11:00 and sleep afterwards until 7:00 or 8:00 when I start working. I guess I could just leave it on 24/7 and see if I still have problems.

  • Spinning beach ball and a restart

    During the past two days, I've got three spinning beach balls that just won't quit. So I had to resort to pressing that little button on the fron of my G4 tower for a restart. After that, everything is back to normal. Each time it happened when trying to either open or close a folder (different each time).
    The console logs this:
    Oct 30 08:46:19 (xxx)s-G4 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framewo rk/Support/ATSServer: FSFindFolder failed for domain -32762: 0x-43. Now relying on persistent store for said domain.\n
    I tried googling but couldn't find anything useful. Does anyone here know what it means?

    Do you mean a physical problem?
    I don't have DiskWarrior, and Disk Utility says there are no problems. I purchased the HD just this week, and before installing anything onto it, I erased it using DiskUtility's "zero out" option.
    Just an hour ago, I had another problem with it. The computer had gone to sleep, and when I awoke it, the mouse cursor could move alright, but nothing happened when I tried clicking on things.
    Anyway, I've sent a mail to the seller, and am awaiting a reply. It's Friday afternoon, so I probably have to wait till Monday. In the meantime, I'm re-migrating the system back to the old HD.

  • IPhoto 09 and 11: spinning beach ball of death when accessing contextual menu.

    Whenever I right click to access the contextual menu, iPhoto gives me the spinning beach ball of death. This happens only when I right click on a photo from the events in the iPhoto library. It freezes for a few seconds then the spinning ball appears.
    This happened in iPhoto 09 so I upgraded to iPhoto 11, but the problem is still there. I have deleted all files from the previous version before installing iPhoto 11 but it didn't solve the problem. Those files were application support files, cache and preferences all in the library. I have even created a new library in iPhoto 11 and imported a few photos just to test it out, but the problem persisted. I just can't right click without having that spinning beach ball of death appear. The only solution is to force quit the application. This is very frustrating and I would appreciate any help.
    I am running Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
    Thanks

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - try to launch iPhoto and check for any improvements.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • After Effects CS5 Spinning Beach ball

    Hi Everyone
    I'm currently working on 2 separate corporate films - Both require work done in Premiere with Dynamic Links to After Effects.
    Both films have timelapse sequences shot from Canon 5Dii JPGs
    1 has video footage shot from a Canon 5Dii (H.264 Mov files)
    The other has footage shot from Panasonic AG-AF101 (XDCam Mov files)
    However both films after several actions within the app cause After Effects to slip into a coma and display the spinning Beach ball. It's a bit hit and miss as to whether the Mac recovers - depending on the level of work I'll sometimes give it up to 5-7 mins grace to come round.
    There's no rhyme or reason so as far as I can tell, as I can't determine a pattern.
    I've tried Un-Checking the Render multiple frames Simulatneously as well as Un-Checking Enable OpenGL
    I'm running a 2x 2.28GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro 3,1
    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    20gb RAM

    Any thoughts, solutions would be gladly welcome
    Rob

    You could try this for a check...
    Go to your system preferences and create a new admin account.
    Then log in to that and open your project.
    That will force AE, its preferences and all caches etc to be re-created.
    If your problem still persists after that you might want to make sure that one of your RAMS (Memory Blocks)
    isnt damaged.
    I cant remember how to test such as I believe the apple hardware tests have gone by now.
    Also, when trouble shooting such - try to disconnect any peripherals from the mac, if possible...
    You might also want to make sure that your media caches etc are residing on a FAST drive
    instead of the default ˜/Home/Application Support/Adobe/Common
    Also try the following if none above works
    1) save your project prior to rendering
    2) Choose the EDIT menu - PURGE ALL
    3) Go to preferences and look at the Media and Disk Cache section.
    You WANNA put those on a FAST drive. Also you could try to delete the caches from within there and disabling the disk cache
    PRIOR to rendering...

  • Spinning Beach Ball when trying to access Oct. and Nov.

    I can't quite figure this one out. Every time I try to access Oct. or Nov. 2010 on my ical, I get a spinning beach ball that lasts for 20 minutes. I have tried erasing my ical and replacing it with my MobileMe data, but it still doesn't work. Any thoughts?

    Your profile says you are running 10.5.5. Are you up to date at 10.5.8?
    Try reseting your sync history: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/2.0/en/isc39.html
    If the issue still persists follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    If the issue STILL persists, export out each of your calendars one at a time using File > Export.
    Add 1 new calendar to your iCal.
    Import each calendar back in one at a time to a new calendar testing after each import to see if the issue persists.
    Once all the calendars are re-imported you can delete the extra calendar.
    Hope that helps

  • IPHOTO 11 causing spinning beach ball and freezing. help

    I have a mid 2009 macbook with 2.3 dual core and 2 gb ram. i installed iPhoto 11 after a very successful  10.7.3 install. all was well then i began to import my photos from a thumb drive that i downloaded from a macbook pro onto a thumb drive. after few hiccups i realized i had a file that was stopping the import as it cam eup with the error message. so i deleted that and then about 3/4 of the way through the laptop just choked up and the spinning beach ball started and wouldnt stop. couldnt get it to force quit etc..
    so after several days of attempts i gave up ended up having to do a safe reboot too  many times and have now deleted iphoto and all its contents. my mac is working alebit is a bit sluggishly.
    any help? is this due to just 2 gig of ram do i need more ram? i am at a loss and i really need to upload these photos but it just doesnt seems worth the hassle

    That shoots that theory down.  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 that library works without a problem your current library is suspect. 
    In that case if you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) 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.

  • Is Spotlight making those grinding noises and spinning beach balls?

    Since newly installing Snow Leopard I am finding myself getting delays and if I persist in trying to do work it results in spinning beach balls. All the while I hear grinding noises.
    I am guessing it is Spotlight trying to do its work. But I'd like to know for sure.
    I am trying to use Activity Monitor but, as usual, am having little success as I have never figured out the best way to use it that gives me any useful info. For instance, I'd like to see what is most active (and likely causing the grinding and spinning). With %CPU selected everything moves so fast, and names of things are too arcane for me to understand. If spotlight is in there it's not clear to me.
    For now, I am using the Spotlight privacy settings to stop it from touching any of my internal drives - so I can get some work done.
    Is there a manual on-off control for Spotlight?

    Allan. Grinding noises aside, did you write anything else in your reply? I see two horizontal lines with nothing on them.
    *Installing SL was an indirect result of my having to trash two internal drives and install two new ones; reinstall an OS; then rebuilt my working computer and making Time Machine back ups. Along the way I opted to purchase and upgrade one to SL. I don't think the noises I described as grinding are bad drive. Somaybe they're not exactly "grinding." Perhaps "ticking."

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
