Rainbow wheel won't go away

no matter what I'm trying to do on my iMac - using safari, checking mail, or numbers, I am watching this horrible beachball spin more than actually DOING anything else.  I saw a previous thread recommended to run Etrecheck, which I did and report should follow - can anyone help??
Problem description:
running slow, constant rainbow wheel

    I restarted my computer recently, and ever since, the "spinning wheel of death" pops up and won't go away, every single time I click on something. It's getting really annoying, and I just need to do my school work on it. Please help. Someone!

    Whenever I open indesign I try and click on the design I already have made and the rainbow wheel pops up and never goes away and I can't click on anything else and it never loads so I have to click force quit because it's the only option I can click on. I've force quit and tried to reopen indesign countless times. Help!

    whenever i start my mac the rainbow wheel pops up and it wont go away. help!

    This would indicate a severe hardware problem, in most cases the hard disk, or a software problem, in most cases outdated apps, which conflict with the system. As long as it is persistent, you probably cannot use your mac. Restart by pressing shift key after chime and wait to get into the system, will take longer. When there, deactivate all apps, which start up at login: system preferences/users and groups/login items, then restart normally. It should work now. If yes, try to determine what outdated app or utility may be the cause, and update it or delete it.

  • I'm getting the rainbow wheel when I try tp pen in internet page (Safari). The page half loads then appears to freeze with the rianbow wheel.  I get the same result when I try to stream a movie from NETFLIX.  Freezes up rather than plays (after loading).

    I get the rainbow wheel when I try to open an internet page. It loads halfway, then freezes, with the rainbow wheel whirring around. Smae thing happens when I try to stream a movie on Netflix.  The movie loads, then the wheel shows up and the screen freezes.  Same thing when I try a DVD, it takes the disc, but won't play when I hit on PLAY.
    I am repair permissions, and all that I can do, but I am a novice.  Any help would be greatly appreciated because I spend big bucks and drive 40 miles to get Apple help.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If your profile info is up to date, you probably have a 2006 or 2007 MacBook with a CoreDuo or Core2Duo.
    It probably came with 512MB or 1GB RAM memory and a 60, 80, or 120GB hard drive.
    You're still running OS X Tiger, 10.4.
    Your DVD drive may be dirty or wearing out.
    For specifics about your computer, click on the  Apple Logo in the menu bar, then About This Mac, and More Info... to find details.)
    You may be running short of hard disk space. You should have at least 10% free, or 10 to 15GB free for best performance. Less than that, and your hard disk is spending lots of time searching for places to store data.
    Complex web pages and sites like Facebook and Twitter, and pages using Adobe Flash, and high-bandwidth applications like video streaming from NetFlix can all cause your computer to run slowly, and the fan to run at high speed, because the processor is working hard. Conversely, email is not terribly resource-intensive, and probably still works pretty well.
    Several things can each provide a small performance increase (listed in no particular order):
    Adding more RAM memory. Upgrade to 2Gb to give your programs a bit of 'breathing room', especially if you are running more than one program at a time.
    Erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the current operating system and programs from scratch. This erases all your existing programs and data. Unless you have backups and program discs, you lose everything currently stored on it.
    Installing a higher capacity, faster hard disk, say 250GB or 320GB will give your programs and data more space, and perhaps faster access if you replace the factory 5400rpm drive with a 7200 rpm drive. If your current hard disk is nearly full (less than 10% free space), the drive has to 'thrash' to free space to store information. 
    Upgrading the operating system to OS X 10.5 Leopard or OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Both are discontinued OS X versions, still available to order directly from Apple, but not likely found on a store shelf any longer. An upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion might not be possible for your MacBook (details here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/), and Lion would likely cause a further slowdown, because honestly, Lion is optimized for newer, faster dual-core or quad-core computers with fast video chipsets and 4GB or more of RAM.
    A faster internet connection, for example: I switched internet providers to get a 3.0Mb DSL connection (up from a 512Mb connection) for an extra $10 per month, and saw downloads and internet browsing speeds increase dramatically.  With the slower connection, it was not possible to watch video.
    Will all of these upgrades together get you close to the performance of the latest MacBook Air or MacBook Pros? NO!
    Ultimately, you have a 4- or 5-year-old computer, and spending up to several hundred dollars for upgrades might not be a worthwhile investment for you, versus applying that much money toward the cost of a new(er) Mac, and perhaps passing your MacBook on to a friend, child, or grandchild who needs mainly email capability.
    If a brand new Apple is not in the budget, consider a refurbished Mac from the Apple Store online. These are reliable computers from 'last year's models' and have the same 1-year Applecare warranty as a brand new model, and often sell at a discount of 10 to 30 percent of the price when the model was introduced.
    I'm using a mid-2007 MacBook, purchased as a refurb from Apple in late 2007. It came with 1GB RAM, a 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive, and OS X 10.4 Tiger. Over the years, I've upgraded it twice. Firs to 2GB, then to 4GB RAM, to a 320GB drive, then to a 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, and to OS X 10.5 Leopard, and then to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Rather than one more round of upgrades to OS X 10.7 Lion, I'm saving for a newer MacBook Pro or MacBook Air at some time in the future.

  • Grey CC Icon with Spinning wheel won't open

    The CC icon on my taskbar won't open and if I hover my mouse over it there is just the rainbow wheel of death.  I can't use the updater or uninstaller because it says that CC is still running and asks me to close it (which I can't do either).  What do I do?

If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the 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. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    for k in /Sy*/L*/Ex*/{,.?}*.kext; do test -f "$k/Contents/Info.plist" && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$_" | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo $k; done | open -f -a TextEdit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3 
    Repeat with this line:
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 4
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, Steps 1-4 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Freezing and Rainbow Wheel after watching videos.

    My Macbook mid 2010, 17", 8GBRAM, MAC OSX 10.6.8, keeps freeziing and the rainbow wheel appears anytime I watch a few minutes (usually 5-30 minutes) of videos on various search engines, softwares or whatever they're called (divx, quicktime, vuze etc..) 
    The computer is running at normal speed, and I think it doesn't do it when I'm doing other things on the computer that doesn't involve watching videos.  I just got a new hard drive since the original one failed last month, don't know if that's relavent. Updated some plugins thinking that might be it, but it still happens.  Can't press cmd opt esc to force quit or shut down.  Have to hold down the power button to turn it off and restart to get away from the frozen spinning rainbow.  It doesn't stop spinning but remains frozen even after several minutes and beyond.  Will probably continue to be frozen if I let it continue without shutting it off via power button.
    Any insights most welcome. 

    You need to free up some hard drive space.  Rule of thumb: You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.

  • Clicking sound and rainbow wheel

    My MacBook has recently been slowing down. I have started to hear a clicking sound and I see a rainbow wheel as the computer is "thinking". I have been reading some discussions and have done a few things....such as ...I have downloaded smart reporter........when I check it, it indicates the below info:
    **2008-12-26 23:05:01.694 SMARTReporter[85] Drive: 'ST980811AS (Macintosh HD | 5RL00HHF | disk0)' Status: SMARTOK (S.M.A.R.T. condition not exceeded, drive OK)**
    one individual advised another person having the same difficulties to check their console....when I check mine it indicates the below info:

    does anyone know what this means?

    I copied this from my console last night......please forgive me if it's way too much info.......however, one of the things I keep seeing throughout it constantly is this sentence.....it seems to be consistent and it seems to refer to the Safari connection.....oh another thing.....the clicking noise starts up as soon as I open my laptop......it goes away after awhile.......the rainbow wheel is only when I'm on the internet....ok......here is the repetitive note I seem to see on my console log:

  • 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.

  • Spinning rainbow wheel & all blue wheel. What gives?

    I'm usin a Mid-2012 MacIntel tower that is a 2.8ghz Quad-Core Xeon with 20GB of 1066 DDR3 RAM, OS 10.8.2 and using the AIR Radeon HD 5770 with 1024MB of RAM. So, In my mind this is a pretty fast system but recently the spinning rainbow wheel has been appearing as well as the spinning all blue wheel. The system is really dragging. I've done SMC resets, zapped the PRAM and thinking of doing a PMU reset. I've checked activity monitor also. What I see is that Safari Web content, Safari, iTunes, mds, and something called kernel_task are using the most RAM. The kernel_task is eating up 1.31GB!! Even if I quit Safari and iTunes, I'm getting a lot of spinning wheels and just slow responses. I click on something and it actually highlights almost 10 seconds later. I've tested my RAID and internal drives and they appear fine. All are Serial ATA. This only happend after installing Mountain Lion. Is there anything else I can do other than go back to the old school days of running one program at a time. Can I quit out of this kernal_task operation or is that a bad move?

    Check your
    Safari > Preferences > General ...
    ... and make sure you are removing History Items: After one Day
    Safari and many other Browsers will carry around every stinkin' website you visited for months, and their RAM foot print grows to be enormous. Stuff older than that can be searched for more easily than scrolling through your History.
    If you use topsites, choose LARGE views, then fewer fit in the window and it will not works so hard or use so much memory keeping track of them.
    In 10.7 especially, Applications whose windows are closed are left running, chewing away at your RAM used. Try to remember to Quit unused Applications rather than just closing their windows.
    RE: The display you showed in the screenshot. Click on the %-CPU column to sort by biggest CPU hog at the top. Sometimes that is very enlightening. Things in double-digits may need to be looked at.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Mac OS X (10.7.2)   <  from your profile
    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
    Update ...
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For Lion v10.7x:  To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
