Safari PowerBook G4 hangs spinning pinwheel

Hi all,
I seem to get this same result consistently at the same web site.
Safari hangs spinning pinwheel forever,
Activity Monitor shows Safari "not responding."
Cannot Force Quit. Only way out is a hard reset.
Very simple install on this PG G4 mostly for web surfing.
Machine is acting well for all other uses.
Any suggestions?
I'm stumped on this.
So long for now, TOM

Hi Carolyn and any other interested listers,
Well it's been interesting trying to fix these issues. Many experiences of the past week are pointing to hardware issues.
I tried to back up my HD expecting the worst, but couldn't get through the process of Restoring (cloning) it to my external FW Disk using Disk Utility ( a task I've done forever without isses).
So I got out the original PBG4 Hardware test and it failed during the "Memory Test." Next I removed the 1 GB RAM chip from the computer and re-ran the Hardware test twice with AOK results, so I am assuming the soldered on RAM is not the issue.
I was able to run the computer from a Disk Warrior CD, and thought it might boot without anything but the onboard RAM, but no go. It kernal panics without any additional RAM installed. Doesn't the Mac need at least 512 MB of RAM and that would explain it, or should it be booting. (Mac OS Leopard X.5.8 installed).
I guess I should get a replacement 1 GB Chip.
Could it be bad contacts. How does one clean the contacts on a RAM Chip.
Thanks in advance, and so long for now, TOM

Another Safari 5.0.6 problem (spinning pinwheel)

MacBookPro 2.33 running 10.5.8
This A.M., Safari begins to load, after 20 sec. --> spinning pinwheel until force quit.
Only this computer; others on home network with Time Capsule work fine.
No new plugins, widgits, programs. All software uptodate.
Connect with Firefox (using it now)
Have tried:
Verified & repaired permissions.
Onyx Cleanup of everything.
Logged in as "Guest", same inablility to connect via Safari.
Restarted in safe mode and direct ethernet connection, same results.
Deleted ~/Library/Safari/cookies.
" Cache.db
Moved ~/Library/com.Apple/Safari/plist to desktop, same results.
Moved Library/Internet plugins " " " " .
Uninstalled Adobe flash.
Checked with F-secure: no viruses/malware.
Zapped PRAM.
Cannot reset Safari from Safari menu but I think Onyx does that mostly with its cleanup.
5 hr. saga, I'm ****** & tired; and I don't know anything more about Macs. Any suggestions?

Logged in as "Guest", same inablility to connect via Safari.
Same problems in multiple user accounts can be an indication that the startup disk needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If necessary, click Repair Disk.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Checked with F-secure: no viruses/malware.
If the startup disk is ok, then uninstall F-Secure. If you really want to have anti virus software installed on your Mac use either ClamXav or Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Edition. Both are free.

And about Onyx. Most thrid party cleaning utilities do more harm than good on a Mac. Your Mac runs maintenance for you > Mac OS X: About background maintenance tasks

Spinning Pinwheel Madness

When browsing with Safari (even on the .Mac sites), it "hangs" and I get the spinning pinwheel icon on my screen. The program stops responding all together. After a minute or two it goes back to normal. It seems to do this on all web sites, and I'm stuck. If I check activity monitor during this time, the %user shoots way up, even if I am not doing anything in particular. I have tried clearing history and cache, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?
It even happened while I was posting this. Activity Monitor showed "Safari (Hung) in red, and the %cpu was in the 80's.

All you have to do is copy the URL correctly

Do you have 3rd-party internet apps like SpeedDownload, iGetter, PithHelmet, Acid Search, Safari Enhancer ? Or Norton or Virex? S
ometimes non-apple internet apps need updating or uninstalling.
If you do, let us know which ones and which version, please.
Also, let us know if you're using Earthlink.
In the meanwhile, you can:
1. Trash your Icons Folder:
HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
(This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
2. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.
If you're still having problems:
3. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router til the lights settle in, then restart your computer.
Hope this helps

Safari (and Firefox) hang on Flash-Pages for main-account

Since Easter (when I took the last batch of upgrades) Safari and Firefox hang.
I narrowed the test down to the following web-page:
http://www.sunfleet.com
* The page does not load completely - after a little while I get this spinning ball and need to kill the hanging Safari-process.
* The same web-page works flawless on a second account.
This is what i tried so far after reading the communities:
* Checked the safari-preferences, switched off auto-fill, security settings allow loading of plug-ins.
* Executed Onyx 2.1.4 - check disk, check and repair rights, run scripts
* deinstalled Flash and reinstalled it (10.0.45.2) according to the instructions on the Adobe Support Page
* manually removed the Flash Player folders in:
Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia
Home/Library/Caches
The error still prevails.
It would be great if someone could instruct me what to do next.
I have a backup via time-machine, but I really don't know what to restore.

Hi Carolyn!
In the mean-while I removed all the Internet Plugins that were registered under the main user:
real-player and move-media-player are now gone.
Still no change. I made a new trace below - I wonder, what is different on the main account compared to the other user. Could it be fonts ?
Best regards
Stephan

Why is the spinning pinwheel showing up so much?

I cleared out my cache folders from Premire Pro and Encore recently. Now when ever I'm in Photoshop I am consistently getting the spinning pinwheel on very simple edits.
Example, I open a very small JPG, and add a box to it. Just dragging the box, I will get a spinning pinwheel. I don't get it on any other applications.
Thoughts?

As explained by Jeff Schewe, 8GB of RAM is fine for Photoshop provided you have no other applications running.
That was a gross oversimplification which may be true when retouching and adjusting 30 megapixel images. 8 GB RAM can be far more than is needed or far less than is needed at any given time, depending on the size of documents, tools/features being used, the number of history states being maintained, etc, etc, etc.
I have only 8 GB RAM, yet sometimes I will simultaneously run, and be frequently switching between, Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D and a bunch of multi-tab Safari windows and never see a spinning beachball for hours.
At other times I may have only Photoshop open, and with a single document, and there will be frequent and lengthy periods of spinning beachball.

Safari 5.1 and Lion pinwheel of death

After the install of Lion my Safari 5.1 is running very slow. It either crashes or I get the pinwheel of death for around a minute or so. You can't reinstall Safari 5.1 because the download site is set up for Snow Leopard. Any sugestions? I've cleared my cache. I'm on a 2007 iMac intel duo core.

I've been having the SPOD as well, since the upgrade to Lion. It only seems to be in Safari. It will spin for around 30 seconds, then work fine. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it happens, it happens on low graphics pages as well as those with embeded animations etc...

Spinning pinwheel in itunes after importing

Hello all!
I am using a 15inch Powerbook G4(1.67ghz, 2GB ram) and itunes v.10.6.3(25) to store and play all my music. That is basically all the Powerbook is used for. I recently erased and reloaded my library( roughly 1.2TB) and since then, I get the spinning pinwheel whenever I try to do pretty much anything in itunes. All other applications run fine, it seems to be isolated to itunes.
I have my music stored on a 3TB LaCie external drive.
I have repaired permissions, and that did not fix the problem.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

For one of the problem files, right-click it and choose Open With > iTunes.
If the file is compatible, it will start playing and be added to the library.
If iTunes "errors silently" (i.e. does nothing) it means the file is incompatible. If you are sure it is a valid MP3, treat it with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as Mp3Val. That usually suffices to make iTunes happy.

Spinning pinwheel brings Mail to a temporary but regular halt after Yosemite upgrade

I updated to Yosemite on October 19 and didn't encounter any major problems. But beginning four or five days ago, I'm now getting frequent, regular appearances of the spinning pinwheel when viewing or typing Mail messages. When this happens, Mail ceases to function until the pinwheel disappears. I cannot move, open, close, delete, type, or do anything in Mail for ten to fifteen seconds at a time. I'm trying to detect a pattern of when this occurs, but so far I haven't found one. I have made no other changes to my system in this time and I never experienced this before using Yosemite.
Needless to say, this makes doing anything in Mail extremely tedious. I have an iCloud account, several Earthlink (POP) accounts, and one Exchange account. This seems to mostly affect messages on the Exchange account (which also, coincidentally or not, now take a very long time to load, especially if they include attachments of any size). I have quit and restarted Mail multiple times and shut down and restarted the computer multiple times but the problem persists. I have a 500 GM hard drive with more than 180 GB free and 16 GB of RAM, so why the Mac needs to be search so often and so long for something is a puzzle..
Has anyone else run into this phenomena and is there a way to make it stop?

I would first do the following 3 items before anymore drastic things:
1. use disk utilities to repair permissions
2. Do SMC reset
3. Do PRAM reset
then if no change look at other possibilities that I'm sure someone in this discussion will suggest.

How do I get rid of the spinning pinwheel on my macbook?

How do I get rid of the spinning pinwheel on my MacBook? I'm assuming I need to clean it up, but not sure how.

A little more information is needed. Which model MacBook? Which version of OS X? How much ram is installed? Finally how much free space is left on your hard drive?

The spinning pinwheel on my Imac

The spinning pinwheel on my Imac constantly causes delays when using the machine. The hard drive has been replaced and the system scanned with MacKeeper showing no problems. Any ideas?

Remove Mackeeper at once! As has been covered in these Forums repeatedly, Mackeeper is essentially a Malware posing as a useful utility, that when installed slows the system down and acts in a negative way on overall system performance. And you will have to Google HOW to remove it because its Developers cunningly made it Very difficult to get rid of. (Feel free to do a search on "Mackeeper" in this Forum for confirmation of what I'm saying by other advanced users.)
Hope this helps

Netflix website and Spinning Pinwheel

Just curious to know if anyone else has this problem...
Everytime I open up the Netflix website on my Mac, the website takes forever to load and I usually end up getting the Spinning pinwheel icon.
Is there anyway to correct this?

I have BrightHouse's Lightening service as well (oddly enough, mine is 60Gbps download). If you're using the Motorola modem/router that BrightHouse supplies, that may be your problem. I've chosen to use the modem/router as a bridge to my AirPort Extreme (5th Gen) and have no problems.
Are you using the Motorola modem/router as a router? Try disconnecting it from power for about 10 minutes and then plugging it back up and let it reboot.

1 week old 27" 3.4 I7 freezing and rainbow spinning pinwheel

Hello, I bought a new 27" imac 3.4 I7 a few weeks ago and started having issues with it. Returned that one and now I am having the same issues with the new one. When I wake the computer from sleep I get the SPOD (spinning pinwheel of death) you know that rainbow colored spinning wheel that says that some program isn't responding. It spins for a few seconds after the computer wakes up and then goes away and then about every 10 or 15 minutes I get the SPOD while surfing the net and the computer freezes for a few seconds and then the SPOD goes away but now I am a bit more frustrated because the SPOD came and never went away and the computer froze and had to restart. So bottom line should I return this computer also and get a new one since I am still within the 2 week return window? I am wondering if this is a hardware issue or software issue. If its hardware than the computer is bad but if its a software issue every computer I get will have the same problem. What should I do? Absolutely way to much money spent to have issues right out of the box!!!!!! Very very dissapointed with this product!!!

Why haven't you called AppleCare, you have 90 days of free telephone support. The number is in your owners manual, I suggest you use it. I'd also recommend keeping Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) open and when your get the SBBOD navigate to AM check if you have any runaway Apps by checking the %CPU column. Also while you're in AM click the System Memory tab and see how much Free RAM it has. As a general rule of thumb if your have 500MB or less of RAM then the system is starved for RAM and needs an upgrade. It should look similar to:

hanging : 아무런 작업도 일어나지 않는 상태
spinning: 상당한 양의 시스템 자원을 사용하면서도 아무런 의미가 없는,
특정한 작업이 loop 안에서 반복되는 상태
2. 구분 방법
hang과 spin을 구분하기 위해서 먼저 v$session_wait 을 참조해야 한다.
v$session_wait로 현재 상태에서 어떤 세션이 waiting 상태에 있는지를 조회할 수 있다.
다음은 v$session_wait을 조회하는 예이다.
SELECT sid,seq#,event,p1,p2,p3,wait_time
FROM v$session_wait;
위 SQL 문장은 최소한 3번 이상 실행 한 후 결과를 비교해 보아야 한다.
컬럼의 의미
sid 세션의 System IDentifier
seq# Sequence number. 이 값은 특정 세션에서 새로운 wait 이벤트가 발생할 때
마다 증가된다. 이 값을 서로 다른 시점에서 비교해 보면 세션에서 작업이
진행중인지 여부를 알 수 있다.
event 세션에서 wait 하고 있거나, 이전에 마지막으로 wait 했던 operation
p1 p2 p3 이 컬럼들은 event별로 서로 다른 내용을 나타낸다.
wait_time 값이 0일 경우 세션이 특정 event를 wait 하고 있는 것을 나타낸다.
0이 아닌 값일 경우 세션이 이전에 wait 했던 마지막 event를 나타낸다.
3. 진단 방법
정상적인 상황에서는 세션에서 다른 operation을 실행 할 때 마다 v$session_wait
컬럼 값이 계속 변하게 된다.
Hang이 발생한 상황에서는, 문제가 되는 세션에서 더이상 작업이 진행되지 않고
프로세스에서 시스템 자원(메모리, CPU ...)을 사용하지 않는 상태가 된다.
일반적으로 서버에서 특정한 event를 waiting 하고 있을 경우, event가
발생하면 세션에서 추가 작업이 지속될 수 있다.
하지만 어떤 이유에서건 waiting 하고 있는 event가 발생하지 않을 경우에는
hang 상태를 유발시킬 수 있다. Hang이 발생하였다면 waiting 하고 있는 event를
찾아 내어 어떤 조치를 취해야 할 지 판단하여야 한다.
예를 들어 세션에서 disk에 write를 끝내는 event에 대해 waiting 하고 있을 경우
왜 writing이 오랜시간동안 끝나지 않는지를 밝혀내야 한다.
Spin이 발생하는 상황에서는 컬럼 값이 변하지 않을 수도 있고 계속 변할 수도
있으며, 이것은 spin이 발생하는 상황에 따라 다르다. Spin이 발생하는 상황에서는
CPU나 메모리등의 자원을 계속 사용하게 된다.
특정 세션에서 spin이 발생하는 상황에서는 code 레벨에서 어떤 부분에서 spin이 발생
하는지를 판단하는 것이 중요하다. 관련 정보를 얻기 위해서는 event 값을 참조할 수도
있지만, 일반적으로 문제가 발생된 프로세스에 대한 errorstack을 발생시켜, 지원을
받는 것이 바람직하다.

When I open Safari, it just hangs up. I cant get to the menu to reset and i cannot find the apple.safari.plist folder in the preferences folder. Anyone have any suggestion?

Alright, I figured it out. I found the Preferences.plist in the ~/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder. I deleted it and restarted my macbook. Now Safari works!

This obviously points to the Nvidia drivers crashing, but why? I'm currently using an Nvidia GTX 460 768MB in my Mac Pro, and I've never had this problem with any other applications. It seems to only be Bridge.

And you are assuming that the 460 will be supported of course which is not a given. The 570 and 670 seems to be okay and some use GTX 4xx but they also realized it can be iffy for support.
