Runs slow, spinning wheel of death comes often..

I have an early MacBook Pro Code Duo laptop. 2 Ghz, 2Gigs of RAM. Since loading Snow Cat it seems to be running slower and selecting just about any application or moving from one open screen to another causes the multi-colored wheel of death to raise it's ugly spinning head. Illustrator routinely crashes on the first try then opens normally after restarting it.
Can anyone tell me how I can increase the speed and eliminate the appearance of the SWOD? Oh yeah and it's runs hotter than heck in no time flat... Oh yeah and Spotlight seems to take forever to give me back control of the search function.

Do a search on this forum about "Cache Cleaning" or "Cache Clearing"
Maybe look at this: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16494
I have a MacBook Air with a 64gb SSD, Intel Core 2 Duo and 2Gb Ram. I do not have the spinning beach ball so I suspect the problem is with your system.
Do you have AppleCare on your Laptop? Can you run Techtool Deluxe or something similar to verify drive function? If you have 15gb free but 10gb of that is bad or unusable, you'd have swap file problems that would slow performance.

    thanks!

    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Macbook Pro Running Slow: Spinning Ball of Death

    Hello, all
    I decided to go ahead and make an account here because I have looked in various different threads for a solution to my problem, tried various different things, and nothing works so far.
    Basically, my MBP is running super slow as of the past few days. Every few seconds, the spinning ball of death appears, all typing stops, reappears again a few seconds later, and my browser feels like I'm running on a dial-up connection. Any application feels like that, really, on- or offline.
    I've done a reset of my SMC. I've run Disk Utility and repaired the disk. I've run OnyX. I've tried looking for abnormal tasks taking up a lot of computer usage in the Task Manager.
    Is there anything else I should be trying to do? I'm really running out of options and am quite frustrated with this whole situation, about to throw my laptop out the window.
    I updated recently to OS X Mavericks, but that was after the problem had started. The problem persists in 10.8 and 10.9.

    Is this a Standard MBP, one with the built in Optical (DVD) drive, or a Retina model?
    You could try reinstalling a fresh (NEW) copy of OS X on an external drive and run the system from that external to test. If the system runs smooth, although slower than from the internal drive, with no beachballs then you have some type of problem with the internal drive. What that problem is could be the drive is failing or it is to filled up with files or the cable going from the drive to the logic board is failing.

  • Macbook Pro running VERY slow- spinning wheel of death

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? When did it start to be slow? Did you change anything just before it started? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

    Hello
    I  am suffering similar symptoms to others here who have then been asked to post their logs for scrutiny by experts prior to advice or recommendations.
    Could I impose on you to run an eye over my data?  I have run disk utility many many times over the past few months with no signs of improvement. In fact, the problem is now getting worse day by day.
    Kind Regards

    You, also, have too many apps launching at startup/login and running in the background when not n use.
    You need to pare the number of apps that launch at login/startup to six items or less (preferrably less).
    Add or remove automatic items
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Select your user account, then click Login Items.
    Do one of the following:
    Click Add below the list on the right, select an app, document, folder, or disk, then click Add.If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select Hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the Finder after login.)
    Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click Delete below the list on the right.

  • Macbook pro running slow - spinning wheel but still space avail?

    Is there anything that I can do to speed up my macbook pro?
    System is up to date, and there is space available. I've checked CPU - I think there is probably a lot of double ups on information stored on computer but not sure how to do a clean-up without loosing originals....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated? In laymans terms if possible, as clearly I'm not as technically knowledgable in this area (also don't have much &'s to spend on clean-up software - so cheaper options or ability to fix thru what is already available to me is best!)
    Thanks in advance

    http://www.ehow.com/list_7483714_ways-up-macbook-run-faster.html
    I like to follow this one.
    No information will be lost and i've had good luck with it in the past.

    My Safari is not working  right.  It often stalls and I get the "colored spinning wheel of Death".  I send reports to Apple, but I never get any response or helpful info.  What do I do to get Safari working correctly on my MacBook laptop?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.
    Uninstall the McAfee product by following the instructions on whichever of the pages linked below is applicable:
    How to install or uninstall McAfee Internet Security for Mac
    How to manually remove VirusScan for Mac 8.6.x using a removal script
    How to uninstall and reinstall McAfee Agent 4.x on Macintosh computers
    Note that if you have already tried to uninstall the software, you may have to reinstall it in order to finish the job. If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different.
    Back up all data before making any changes.

  • My mac is runing slowly and the spinning wheel is on more often. How do i get it to run faster?

    My iMac is running more slowly than usual, with the spinning wheel coming on more often and interrupting my work. Is anyone able to assist me in making it run faster, as it was before?
    Thank you.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Take these steps when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • Safari - Slow loading and the spinning wheel of death!

    it seens that every page i surf to i get the spinning wheel of death . i have to wait and wait and wait, you get the picture. this happens on just about every page i go to, more on the pages that have forms to fill out.
    I have read on another post that clearing the cache may help. NOT! and that trashing the favicons folder will help. Where is the favicons? also that restetting the application will solve all my problems. This is not internet exploader. this is suppossed to be apple. rock solid and all that crap.

    Hi Darryl S,
    * You will find the Favicons in:

    * Quit Safari an trash the whole folder, when you relaunch Safari again, a NEW Icon Folder will be regenerated.
    * Now go back to the Icon Folder in Safari an only select the Folder once, no get info by pressing the Command-i key. Set the Icon Folder to ONLY READ this prevents that the Favicons will be stored.
    Also:
    1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
    2. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Also the power to support the modem. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
    * Good luck ...

  • Yosemite: Slow, spinning wheel, horrible experience

    I have not had issues with my Retina laptop until the install of Yosemite. Everything is impacted.
    After every break (laptop sleep—regardless of time frame) I have to restart or it is completely unusable
    I get the spinning wheel of death on every single app: calendar, mail, safari, adobe products, etc...
    Even though I am automatically connected to my wifi—I have to turn off/on again or nothing will work (adobe apps, Safari, dropbox, etc...)
    Safari is ridiculously slow or doesn't work at all
    I often find website logins where the submit button is inactive (it's there but faded out). Because this happens across major sites I think it's a Safari issue with Yosemite—not the individual sites.
    It seems when I type—that the characters type on top of themselves. This happens at varying sizes and on major sites as well.
    Everything has become a hassle/chore—I loath sitting down to work these days or do anything personal on my once beloved machine. I've been a mac user for 20+ years and have several generations of all the devices and I cannot believe this system was released!
    HELP Please!
    Side: I don't think Jobs would have release this buggy beast!

    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 by the 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 act on 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 and start typing the name.
    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.

  • Macbook Pro 13-inch Late 2011 with constant Spinning Wheel of Death (SWOD)

    Hi Guys!
    I really have a problem with the Spinning Wheel of Death and slow performance all the time. It suddently started after upgrading to OS X Mavericks.
    These are the things i've tried so far:
    - Boot up in Safe Mode and Internet Recovery Mode to repair disc permissions and disc = No Errors found at all
    - Used SMARTreporter but everything returned as OK
    - Installed 16GB of ram installed
    - Looked in Activity Monitor, but everything appears to be okay with both RAM, CPU and HD
    - Boot with Apple Hardware Test = Everything OK
    - Booted up in Internet Recovery and erased the entire HD, clean installed OS X Lion (the OS i bought the Macbook Pro with)
    First i thought it was a problem with my HD or my RAM. But everything is returning the OK result. I really hope some of you out there can help me, cause right now its realy hard to use it at the University. It looks like its a software problem, but i can't figure it out.
    Made a test in EtreCheck and these are the results from it:

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
