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:
HD/User/Your_Name/Home/Library/Safari/Icon Folder
* 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 ...

I have been transfeing my DVD footage to I movie using handbreak and the spinning wheel of death has arrived and locked up I movie as I tried to import footage. The message says, "Optimizing movies, processing event DVD" but I can't get out of it.
Yes I held them down till the apple logo appears, then spinning wheel and repeated boot up process. I only knew it was going round in circles because the charging sound kept repeating every so many seconds.
I am downloading iOS.5.0.1 now to do a complete factory restore. I hope this works. I have been looking online for hours for fixes and I have very little batter on it as its been spinning for hours now.
Why do things like this happen? I am sat there watching tv and one minute the settings folder is there then its not! How does that happen? It just disappear? I hadn't moved it to another folder or deleted it, it just.... went! -
Sharing, Permissions, and the Spinning Wheel of Death
Yesterday, I goofed when changing Sharing & Permissions on folders in another Profile's Home folder. My account is an admin account. I clicked "Apply to Enclosed Items..." and while I thought I had selected the correct Profile, I must have in fact selected "Users", so soon I began to get permissions errors in my Profile for iTunes, Mail, etc.
I could still log in to all accounts, but each got permission errors.
I was able to resolve the permissions issue for my Profile, but it persists for other Profiles.
When I open the "Info" editor and unlock the padlock, I get the Spinning Wheel of Death (SWOD) when I click the "+" to pull up the Users list.
It does not matter which Profile I am in.
I am running OS X Mavericks v10.9.1 on a 27" iMac.
How can I deal with this problem so that I will get the Users list instead of the SWOD when i click the "+" so that i can add my admin User account and give it Read & Write control?Spinning Beach Ball

Google Desktop and the spinning wheel of death
For anyone who is reading this who has installed Google products on Leopard: DON'T!
I don't know what exactly caused the spinning wheel, but what I can tell you is that I used Onyx on my system. After that, I had huge problems with my node structure. I fixed those problems with Disk Warrior 4 and was able to at least get my computer to boot reasonably fast, but not as fast as it should. I kept getting the dreaded, spinning wheel! Why? Why? Why?, I asked myself.
Well, after reading someone else's post about running activity monitor to see what could be running, I saw that Google's Dektop analyzer was running. I quit it, only for it to restart automatically by itself.
I ended up getting CleanApp to delete a bunch of stuff I didn't need to see if that would get rid of the problem. When that didn't, I went back to the Google products and delted anything and everything Google from both Library/Preferences folders as well as from my Applications folder.
I can tell you that I am now back running smoothly and typing this note faster than I could type anything for the past 5 hours!!! Woohoo!
You can't imagine how frustrated I was. In the middle of homework and I get crunched by the spinning wheel of death.
So, for all of you who are running Google Desktop...beware! Even if you quit from your activity monitor, it will launch again immediately after. You just have to delete the darn thing.
I'm not sure if Onyx affected it or not. That's for someone else to figure out. But I haven't had good luck with both Onyx and now Google Desktop, so I'm steering far, far clear of both of those applications for now.
Hope this helps someone.Here is an update on my situation with Google Desktop. I found out that was not the problem at all. Actually, Software Update - 10.5.2 caused the problem. I even wiped the drive, reinstalled 10.5.1 and then upgraded again to 10.5.2 and the same issues arose. The spinning pinwheel (beachball of death) would appear for a few seconds before most operations and the system would not shut down after the Updating Boot Cache notice appeared.
I contacted Apple support by phone and they walked me through a number of steps to try and resolve. When those steps did not work, which included setting up an alternate user and trying to log of from that user, they assigned me a incident number and notified me that they'll have to scale it up to engineering to see if there will be a solution. -
Mail and the spinning wheel of death
we have a office macbook pro running 10.4.11 that is having some problems with mail.
normal email are sending and coming in fine, however emails going or coming with attachments are causing mail to lock up.
when mail is locked up you can not force quit only powering down the computer closes mail.
any ideas? thanks for the help
-DanHi Dan,
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

IPhone 4s unresponsive stuck on the spinning wheel of death.
Hi,
My 4s has gotten progressively more unresponsive for the last few days. It worked flawlessly for two weeks or so, but the last two or so days have seen it getting weird.
Symptom 1 appeared 2-3 days or so ago: Facebook started getting freezy. 50% of the time it would take after opening it would take 15-45 sec to become to finish loading and become responsive to touch commands.
Symptom 2 happened 2 days ago: The phone froze for 15 or so seconds, went to black screen, showed the spinning wheel of death, and then rebooted to lock screen very quickly.
Symptom 3 happened 4 hours ago: The phone was searching for the carrier when I took it out of my pocket. Other iphone users in the room had perfect reception. I solved the problem by turning on airplane mode briefly and then turning it off again.
Symptom 4 happened just now: I was playing music, paused with the earbud control, switched to a different set of headphones, pressed play on the lock screen and got no response. Realized the phone was frozen. It stayed that way for 2-3 minutes, went to black screen and the spinning wheel of death, but then the spinning wheel of death froze as well. It has been in this state for the last 20 minutes.
I will be happy to post time-stamped photos of the locked up phone if anyone needs proof.
A hard-reset solved the problem. For now.
Any advice on what this could be? A software setting? An app interaction?
Any advice on if I should return the phone and get a different one?
Thanks!
--JasonHey sorry to hear about your frustration.
A couple of things.
First, Facebook is known for causing issues on iPhone. It takes up a lot of memory and has been known to crash a lot. It has gotten a lot better with time and updates but can still cause problems. I tend to manually quit it from the App-switcher/multitasking tray.
Second, the reception issue you mentioned ("Searching", lack of data connection) sounds like it might be similar to some of the reports on this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3511559?tstart=30#3511559
Personally, I've been having the same problems on my 4S with reception as well as Siri being unavailable in spite of having 3G and being able to make/receive calls.
Thirdly, now that you mention it, I have noticed lack of responsiveness to touch input at times. Sometimes when my phone is locked, I'll press the home button or the wake button and it will take quite awhile before the phone reponds amd the screen turns on. Sometimes it doesn't at all and I have to press the button multiple times to get a reponse.
So, yes, many of your issues sound familiar. Unfortunately, I think I share some of them with you.
One thing you might want to check is what software version you have. The most recent is 5.0.1 build 9A406. If you have 5.0.1 build 9A405 you're not running the most up-to-date software. In that case, update by backing ul and restoring from iTunes (sofware update on the phone will not show the update; it has to be done via backup+restore in iTunes). To check what version you have, go to Settings>General>About. Scroll down and check what it says under "Version".
I hope that helps somewhat. -
URGENT!!! FCP 5.04 keeps giving the Spinning wheel of Death
Everytime we load up the FCP with the Apple Raid on, it will give me the spinning wheel of death, so we trashed the preferences, and it went along fine for a while and then we shut down and the spinning wheel of death. Now on the load up, the spinning wheel of death.... WHAT DO I DO? Should I delete FCP, and reload, if so what is the safest way to delete FCP??? If not, what other solutions might one have. Thanks
Interesting event: I manually override the Raid Admin while the computer was down, and waited for it to boot, then I turned the computer on and the Raids mounted, and everything was fine, but when I went to the Raid Admin (Version 1.5) it loaded up fine as well. I can't quite put my finger on the issue, but manually overriding the boot up seemed to help out.
Now as for the issue of having one side striped raid 5 and one striped raid 0, is this a good way to have my system setup or should I do something about this setup, if so what can I do???
Thanks -
When I turn on my iMac it comes up with the login icons which I then choose and log into. The password works and I then get the apple icon and the spinning wheel. After about a minute the Apple icon turns into a prohibited icon. However, if I log in under the guest icon, I can access the wifi and get to Safari. I really don't know what to do next. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Are you running any A-V? If it's an iMac 21.5, I don't think you're running Leopard, 10.5. Probably at least Snow Leopard, 10.6. This is the Leopard forum.
This article says meant for 10.3.9 and eariler, but contains some still useful suggestions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1411
Try a Safe Boot. Shift at the startup chime and expect a much longer time to boot. This will bring you to a login screen with "Safe Boot" in red.
Look at this as well.

I keep getting this error message and the spinning wheel on all websites, any fix? (Webpages are not responding, so loading cannot be stopped. Do you want to force reload this page and all pages in other tabs and windows?)
Hi, this has worked for a few...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

10.7…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

What is the cause of the Spinning Wheel of Death (SWOD) and how can we fix it?
What is the cause of the Spinning Wheel of Death (SWOD) and how can we fix it?
I get the SWOD using Safari, Mail, Google chrome, Firefox, Mathematica, and other programs. This cannot be a browser plug-in issues as other forums suggest. I suspect a windows process at the root but I don't enough to know how to trace. Does anyone know what's causeing this epidemic?I'm having a similar problem. Someone PLEASE HELP!
I'll start with just an example of what I've been facing. During the composing of this post, when I switched from Firefox to Word, I had to wait 60 seconds before the spinning wheel stopped and I got a cursor. I then copied one set of Etrecheck results, switched back to Firefox, hit Command-v to paste and had to wait 45 seconds or so for the spinning wheel to stop. And the paste operation didn't paste until I hit Command-v again (with no wait this time).
Here's what I've done:
I tried three times to run a scan with avast! and all three times the scan was unable to complete.
I restarted holding down Command-r and it found and fixed many permissions, but found no problems with files.
I ran Etrecheck in a "Safe Boot" and in a normal startup and there were two things that were tagged as "[failed]" in the normal startup:

My macbook won't boot pass the apple logo and the spinning wheel
Some programs on my Macbook starting crashing so I tried restarting it. Now it doesn't load past the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel.
I've tried installing the Install disc, holding 'c' but nothing happens.
I've tested the hardware holding 'd' in the start up, in which the test can back clean, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the software.
I've followed almost all the troubleshooting solutions on the apple website including restarting the PRAM and SMC, with no success.
However I foolishly followed a solution that was meant for an earlier version of Mac OS X, which invloved starting up in single-user and entering some commands, this appears to have done nothing but i'm concerned it may have done some extra damage.
I have bootcamp installed and I can boot up windows with no problem and even access some of the files on the Macintosh HD.
My backup harddrive broke recently so I haven't got a back up of any of my files either.
My question is, is there any way of fixing this problem or even just saving all my files and data so I can format the hard drive and start again, other than finding someone with a mac and try using the firewire method?
thank you for your time and help.There's a possible solution but you must have the proper installer DVD for the computer. Assuming you do:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU 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 DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
Somebody help me My Mac is lagging big and whenever I click on something it just goes to the spinning wheel of death I can't do anything I need help
What model year Mac and what version of OS X are you running.
If this is on an older Mac with standard Rotating HDD it could be a sign the HDD is either to full of data or it is starting to fail. It could also be caused by 3rd party software you've installed. -

I go to the Pages application and click on it, and instead of getting the normal Pages menu I get an old Pages document and the spinning wheel. I can't open the menu bar, can't create a new document, can't open another document, can't access the menu. All that happens is the spinning wheel, it's been thirty minutes now and it's still spinning
Menu > Apple > Force Quit… > Pages
Try opening Pages with the shift key held down.
To escape what is happening in Pages if you can't get at the menu, click on your Desktop then come at the Apple menu by sliding around from top right.

Is it possible to set default column widths in list view when using a finder window in Mavericks?
The default 'document' column is way too wide and forces you eye to track all the way across the screen to read info like "date modified', 'kind' or 'size'. Tried several times to create a narrower default 'document name' column with no results. Coul
