Spinning Ball in iTunes Start up

Every time that I open my iTunes I get the spinning ball and it locks up iTunes and I have to shut down my computer to start over.I read a post that said to go into utilities and post what is happening.  This happens no matter what device I plug in to sync in iTunes.
I have over 30 of these messages in the utilities......If you could please help that would be great!

Dear Greg:
I don't have an answer, but in the same boat. Beach Balls and Beach Balls and more Beach Balls.
iTunes 11 seems to be bigger, fatter and communicating more with the big Apple in the Cloud.
A god awful mess.
Maps and now iTunes. Apple is batting a 100%

  • Spinning ball when safari starts up

    MacBook Pro 15", Late 2011
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    I can't seem to get Safari to open properly. I get the spinning ball of death. Is there a startup  reset sequence I can use to reset the cache or even bring safari up in a SAFE MODE?

    Frank ..
    Check the startup disk ...
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built-in utilities to repair the disk using OS X Recovery .

  • Spinning ball when iTunes changes SOME metadata for movies -- why and can it be fixed?

    I'm putting in the metadata, including the artwork, for movies in iTunes and it's driving me nuts becaue the little rainbow ball comes up and stays up the bigger the file. It's not like iTunes is rewriting the movie, is it? I don't understand why it should take 2 - 3 mintues to change the metadata. Is there a way around this?

    Yes it can be moved into music videos by right clicking on the music video, selecting get info and clicking on the video tab on the top of the little window that opened up and open up the video kind menu and select music video out of the list.

  • Spinning Ball, iTunes Frozen

    All of my music is on my external hard drive. I created a new iTunes library, placing it on my laptop hard drive. In the iTunes preferences, I indicated the laptop hard drive as the location of my library, and then imported my music into the iTunes library. However, all I get is the spinning ball in iTunes when I try to play music.

    Maybe you should update your 10.6.3 to 10.6.8

  • I get a spinning ball every time I search in Itunes 11.0

    I just installed Itunes 11.0 and whenever I start typing in the search box (the first letter doesnt even show up) I just get the spinning ball. It never stops and I have to force Itunes to quit.
    I'm using a macbook pro operating snow leopard (10.6.8)  2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo. (I upgraded to Lion when it first came out and itmade everything run really slow so I wiped the computer and reinstalled leopard from a backup!)
    I should note that I store my itunes library on an external drive. But that has never been a problem before, and in fact all the songs play fine when I click on them or press play. It seems to only be the search box that is hanging with the spinning ball.

    Upon further inspection, it appears the problem is this: when I start typing a word beginning with the letter "a", it doesnt wait for me to finish typing, but rather starts searching for ALL words containing an "a" in them. There are quite a lot. I have about 40,000 songs on my computer. So this simple search is almost crashing my computer.
    I have found that results will begin showing ut only after about 5 minutes of spinning rainbow. Which makes the search feature completely impractical..
    I consider this a serious bug in itunes 11.0. Or at least a very flawed feature.

  • Help --- Finder Spinning Ball of Death Mavericks not starting

    get the spinning ball of death when I select finder from the desktop or select anything for that matter.
    I have tried reinstalling Mavericks, after the install I get a popup asking me to install java, regardless of the option I select either not now or install the SPOD comes up.
    I then go into safe mode and downloaded java and installed it, then rebooted normal mode, same problem SPOD when you select anything.
    I have created another account and that works fine, but not my normal account. Initially I thought it might be something to do with chrome, so I uninstalled that.
    In addition I have removed any startup items I had against the user ID in system preferences. I have also switched off spotlight trying to build indexes.
    I know my system is ok when I get the adobe update icon on my top menu bar. The boot up process simply doesn’t get to that stage.
    Below is the boot log. I would be really grateful for any suggestions. I have tried installing from the app store 3 times now.

    The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault. Everything else is completely irrelevant.
    Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • ITunes Freeze and Spinning Ball

    I installed Snow Leopard and it loaded up fine. However, iTunes starts up and then I see the spinning ball. I restarted and tried again, but got the same issue.
    I restarted again and opened iTunes, then left it running overnight to see if it would resolve itself. It was still there.
    How can I solve this issue?
    Thanks.

    hello again...
    still having the same problem...
    tried creating a new user, but i confess, haven't spent as much time trying things out in that account...
    i did however, reinstall os 10.5, and imported everything from a time machine backup (just so i knew i was running with a fresh OS)...
    and also, ran REMBER which said the RAM was good...
    even monitored the computer in CONSOLE to see if anything looked odd when an application crashed. nothing memorable yielded.
    one curiosity, is that when i repair permissions, it finds hundreds to correct....
    says "repair permissions complete"...
    but then, i can run the process again right away, and it still finds 100's to correct.
    this seems odd to me, and i wonder if a permissions problem is to blame.
    but short of repairing them (or trying to) i don't know what to do...

    You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

  • Itunes unresponsive (spinning ball)

    I have a Top-Of-Range 15" MacBook Pro (2011) running itunes 10.6.1 (7). The Library is 12000 tunes (on the Hard Drive) and, 1200 TV Programmes, 348 Feature Films on a remote Hard Drive by USB. Software is totally up-to-date.
    I hard wire sync my ipad 2, my iPhone 4.
    The iPod is virtually permanently attached by USB, because I use Air Display the iPhone 4 only once daily.
    Yet, I lose my computer for 10-20 minutes during every sync. iTunes becomes totally unresponsive for that time, while other applications slow down (Mail Word, Excel) or also become unsresponsive (Handbrake, iPhoto) for the same period.
    It s getting annoying- even to the point that I regularly force quit iTunes to regain control. I forced quit last night and "locked" iTunes until I rebooted the Mac.
    Is there something I can do to improve this productivity?
    Thanks
    Phil

    I have the same problem. I also get a spinning ball when ejecting a CD from within iTunes. But when I eject the CD from Finder, it's quick.

  • I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock.  About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor.  But the computer locks up.

    Do you have Parallels installed by any chance?  There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this.  You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels.  An update corrects the problem:

  • Start up spinning ball....

    moved to a new office space.
    sweet little cabin/ shack. used as a recording studio at one time...
    you'd think the power would be clean, but not so. I could hear a fan in the window vary slightly in power so....( even though mac was working fine) I got a high quality voltage stabilizer/back up device, just in case. it shows (on digital readout) 120-118 volts going in...fluctuation...
    plugged into device Mac boots up, apple on screen, (long sausage-like display begins to fill in with gray but stops) fades off, spinning ball......
    gulp.
    Tried booting up in the same way it was before installing stabilizer/ back up, the way it worked before....same spinning ball
    gulp.

    Always raise the question of PRAM battery condition when I hear it.  If the machine was off mains power for any appreciable time and the PRAM battery was not particularly new (three or four years old or older) then it may now be marginal enough that the CPU is reading garbage data from it.
    However, that being said, the first thing to do is try a safe boot by holding the shift key down at power up.  The fact that you are getting to the progress gear on the gray screen says that the computer has found a bootable volume and is trying to load the system but it is hanging at some point.  A safe boot may help in that first off, it attempts a directory repair and then starts loading MacOS.
    The second thing to try is the PRAM reset, accomplished by holding down the cmd-option-P-R key combination at boot until you hear the second boot tone (chime).  This may also temporarily help in a weak PRAM battery situation.
    A third, less likely strategy would be to do a PMU or SMU reset of the machine, which is usually more useful in non-start situations which do not get to the point of looking at the boot volume.
    PRAM batteries come in two flavors and locations for G5 towers.  The 3.6 volt half-AA battery is found in all machines except the last variant which was introduced in late 2005 and is located in the PCI card area of the logic board.  The last machines use the coin shaped 3 volt CR2032 battery and place it in the area of the RAM modules.  You can check battery voltages, which need to be done in-circuit with mains power disconnected, using a good high impedance digital volt meter, with batteries showing a voltage lower than 90 percent of nominal needing replacement for sure.
    Picture of 3.6 volt batteries and a AA battery for reference:
    Picture of the coin cell:
    The coin cells are readily available in a lot of places for about two bucks.  The half-AA cells not so readily available.  Radio Shack usually has a Tadiran battery for about $20, or you can get them on the web for about a quarter of that plus shipping.

    Or you can look at the OWC site for their offering.  (Of course, my caveat about OWC is there's so much neat stuff on their website that it's hard to resist adding other stuff to the order.)
    If these things don't get you going, you can also try a "verbose boot" by holding down the cmd-V key at boot until you (with any luck) see a black dumb Unix console display with progress information on what the system is doing.  That is useful to tell you at least where things are hanging.

  • Can't get macbook past spinning ball at start up.PLEASE HELP

    "Can't get Macbook past spinning ball at startup. PLEASE HELP"
    Older mac book with (??  10.5....  ??) Froze up. Force Quit "Kindle", "Sketch up" and "Safari". Have tried to use safe boot but after 5 min. of holding shift key the SBOD (Spinning Beachball Of Death) was still spinning away. Tried to load Mountain lion by means of disc---Didnt have original disc for this macbook; inherited it from deceased family member 2 yrs ago--- but couldn't get past SBOD there either. I am willing to erase all on mac book in order to get it up and running again since all my vital files are in my Mac (desktop) and primary use of macbook tends to be internet use.

    You could try installing Snow Leopard on the Macbook. Installation DVD is available from Apple:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Are you sure the MB meets the requirements for Mountain Lion?

  • Two spinning balls on start up?

    Was running yash and lost power.  Tried to reboot and now, after I sign in using password, I get the spinning wheel next to my name in the log in screen AND the spinning beach ball..
    I notice that during yash is running there is a small red - under the HD icon.
    Need some help here.

    Sorry..Yasu
    Running 10.8.1..
    I am able to log into guest account..
    I did what I think is all the trouble shooting..
    Disconnect all wired peripherals reboot still problem.
    Boot in safe mode same issue spinning beach balls
    Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
    Disk Utility form my MT Lion boot stick . Ran Disk and Permissions repair still spinning balls.
    I could reboot from my clone and or nuke and pave..I have a number of back ups from yesterday
    But I think that there may be an issue with my admin user account, as it is not recognizing me.  I was thinking that if I log in as a guest open permissions reset to me then try the log in it might just work.
    I think yasu locked me out when the power went out as it was not finished…

  • Imac spinning ball after update

    Since last OS X update EVERYTHING I do causes the spinning ball. Cant listen to iTunes, it quits, typing this message I will get the spinning ball. Go on web, spinning ball, processes stop for up to a minute. 
    Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix ?
    <Edited By Host>

    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.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    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 it 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. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text 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.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. 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. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    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 to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    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. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, 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, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, 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 for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • Spinning ball / slow

    I have been having the problem with the spinning ball for some time, but it has worsened after installing Yosemite. Now it is extra slow and this ball comes on constantly. I mostly use my Mac for email and to surf the web (even if I don't have many tabs or programs open), and it comes up a lot. It also comes up frequently when opening files, etc. I also notice startup of my machine is super slow lately.. so I hate to shut this machine down now because it takes so long to reboot!
    I did an Etrecheck analysis of my machine just now:

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    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 and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
