Spinning ball mode

i do not know the correct term for this mode but it is when the round multi colored ball spins and everything else ceases to work. my macbook is doing this far too much and it is hard to get anything to run. i have a gig of ram and i am not asking it to do much more than have a song play or maybe a word program at the same time. i have tried repairing disc permissions and this works only for a short period of time if at all. the computer is performing like a PC that has not been defragmented for a long time. any ideas anyone. do i have to start from scratch and wipe the whole thing out as someone suggested. i have very limited access to internet as i am on a cruise ship so updating programs from a fresh start would be seriously painstaking. i have only owned this thing since four months. what is the secret? thank you

i do not know the correct term for this mode
that symbol is the 'Spinning wait cursor'.
see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinningwaitcursor
The wait cursor appears while an application is unresponsive. something is waiting for data that it needs and its not getting it... so
it waits, and the cursor spins...
but it
is when the round multi colored ball spins and
everything else ceases to work. my macbook is doing
this far too much and it is hard to get anything to
run. i have a gig of ram and i am not asking it to do
much more than have a song play or maybe a word
program at the same time. i have tried repairing disc
permissions and this works only for a short period of
time if at all.
some suggestions:
boot off the tiger install disk and run disk utility on your
boot volume - does it see any errors?
use a utility like Cocktail or Onyx (both free from versiontracker)
to erase caches and rebuild databases...
do you leave your machine on overnight ever? there are some
maintenance scripts that start in the middle of the night - Onyx
can do those for you on command if they haven't run in a while...
the computer is performing like a PC
that has not been defragmented for a long time.
yep - it's slow... but i think it's not fragmentation that
is causing this - OS X defragments 'on the fly' - using a
separate program to defragment an OS X drive is not
necessary or recommended...
any
ideas anyone. do i have to start from scratch and
wipe the whole thing out as someone suggested. i have
very limited access to internet as i am on a cruise
ship so updating programs from a fresh start would be
seriously painstaking. i have only owned this thing
since four months. what is the secret? thank you
you probably just need some maintenance...
the cache cleaning i suggested above is not 'basic maintenance'
but something to do when other things aren't helping...
post back if noe of this helped... cheers

  • I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you ad

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise?  During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • How do you fix the spinning ball of death?

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 mid 2009. It passes the Apple Hardware Test with no errors/problems. Every time I run the disk utility, I get permission errors. I fix them and they come back again. I did a clean install of OS X 10.8.4, but the problem is still there. Could it be a bad hard drive cable? bad hard drive? memory? If so, how do you test this since it passed the Apple Hardware Test?

    I jumped the gun. The spinning ball of death is back. Here is the console dump for when the problem occurred.

  • 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.

    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. 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 on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef 
    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. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal 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 launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef 
    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
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef  
    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 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • MBP retina + Yosemite + MAGSAFE CONNECTED = freeze and spinning ball!!

    I'm really losing my mind...
    Friday I finally installed Yosemite 10.10 on my mbp retina. At the beginning everything was perfect, then new updates like iphoto and imovie started to pop up so I decided to download them. At some point of the download the spinning ball appeared but didn't want to go away, even after 5 minutes. I couldn't use my macbook so I decided to force shut down.
    After restarting I could log in, but as soon as I moved the cursor to the dock and clicked on the apps I needed to open (Mail and Chorme) everything froze and the spinning ball appeared again.
    Force shut down again.
    The magsafe was connected at all time.
    Then I decided to go to the Apple Store to solve the problem. Once I explained the problem to the guy and turned on the macbook in front of him, everything started to work again perfectly.
    I looked like a freaking idiot.
    He had no explanation, he just told me to use time machine to backup my data and bring the macbook there in case the issue would appear again.
    Yes I tried all the possible procedures pressing the keys when the macbook is turned on. (I kept for last the pram reset and smc reset)
    Nothing.
    Then this morning I realized the freezing at startup would occur only if the magsafe was connected!!! This is also why at the Apple store there was no problem at startup....no magsafe connected. I tried a few times to use the macbook normally with the battery (even now that I'm writing), and it's working perfectly!! But as soon as I connect the magsafe, go to the dock to open apps or simply click on the google chrome tabs to type in a website, everything starts to freeze again and the spinning ball stays there indefinitely.
    I also tried the utility disc (in normal and safe mode). It says everything is ok.
    I even tried to delete completely iphoto, imovie and caffeine and to reinstall Yosemite.
    I don't want to go to the Apple Store now because it's full of people (iphone 6 just got released here in China).
    Could someone help me understand what is the problem??
    Thank you for all the help you can provide

    Yesterday it started to do the same even with the battery! So it was impossible for me to use it. I went to the apple store...they didn't know what to tell me since the system just got released.
    They ran a few tests on my macbook and it showed that it wasn't an hardware issue, it was the software. So they wanted to do a backup of my data (from one of their macbooks) but couldn't because somehow there was a password for Firevault. I never put it!! And it's not the same I always choose for my system.
    Result? They had to erase everything (I'm angry because I lost a lot of my work files) and now I'm back to Mavericks 10.9.5 and I have no idea when I'll decide to update again to Yosemite.
    Since Steve Jobs passed away Apple is not the same.
    My girlfriend has an iphone 5, she installed IOS 8 and everything is slow as ****. Seriously.
    It's really disappointing and I (we) don't trust Apple anymore.

  • Spinning Ball using Mail in Lion -  Can I strip all?

    [Reposted from iMac Community]
    I've read dozens of threads on the Spinning Ball Syndrome with Lion and Mail. I've tried all of the suggestions and still no luck.
    My case is unique, and should be simple to solve - because I never set up any mail accounts and am willing to delete ALL mail files.
    Sometimes I get the spinning ball and have to force quit.
    When I start the Mail app, sometimes it doesn't even appear as an app starting up, but I can use command-tab to switch apps and find it.
    I would appreciate anyone's help:
    Can I REMOVE ALL mail data files and start "clean"?
    Background:
    Used a Mac Mini for 3+4 years as a music media station. NEVER set up any mail accounts on the machine.
    Upgraded through a few OS generations up to Lion.
    Bought a new Mac Mini about a week ago.
    Before migrating data to the new machine, I updated all software, verified and repaired disk permissions, and ran fsck -yf in single user mode on the source.
    Then I migrated the data to the new machine using migration assistant, including user settings.
    Updated all software.
    I've verified permissions, repaired them. Verified the hard disk. No errors. And I've removed files that were mentioned in related threads.
    - Removed
    /Library/Preferences/
    com.apple.mail.plist
    com.apple.mail.plist.lockfile
    No change
    - Went to
    /Library/Mail/V2 (that was the only folder)
    Clicked on Maildata and removed everything except for:
    accountsplist
    messageruleplist
    No change
    Please see the attached screen shot of my /Library/Mail/V2 directory. Everything looks stripped and recent.
    Any other suggestions appreciated.
    Hardware: New Mac Mini (it wasn't preloaded with Mountain Lion)
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Still only 4GB RAM (Haven't had a chance yet to install new RAM)

    Thank you.
    First, when I opened Mail, I got the following message, and I selected "Don't Restore"
    Yes, there is a pattern and error cycle. Please see below (replacing my username with foobar)

  • Spinning ball, finder freezes & LaCie HD fails

    Oh Hi!! Not sure where to put this at all as I seem to ahve multiple problems which is either a coincidence or something/onething is seriously wrong. I have been working fine for months with my external HD, DVD drive & MBP but over the last few days i have experienced problems with all 3. Granted, the MBP is quite old now and I am running FCP on it at times but this has been fine for a while too. The 1st thing to show was the lacie DVD drive suddenly showing me error messages when trying to mount blank dics - after a few times shutting off and on I have managed to get that working again.
    Thinking no more of it, today i was working on the mbp in Word and had a spinning ball for so long i had to force quit to get any further - this is quite unusual and i have to say, since then things have not been so sweet.
    After finishing that work I put my external d2 on to do some video stuff with FCP and the lacie HD made the strangest whirring noises which i have not heard before. FCP froxe so i forced quite again without ejecting HD and things went from bad to worse. Unplugged (including power cable) ext HD for 30mins, plugged back in & switched on and all it did was make ticking noises for 15mins before finally mounting (phew - haven't backed up onto disc in ages). However, when i try to go through finder to a file on the lacie when it is sleep-mode - it then causes Finder to start spinning that ball again until i have to force quit.
    Sorry for the lengthy description but i don't know whether i have lacie ext HD problems, or is it MBP and appls/finder or.........?????
    Does anyone have any ideas on this or where i should start to try and solve it?
    Many thanks for any info or advice
    Jo

    thankyou both for your responses!
    i will check clock battery - ths is a new one to me so would not have thought about it at all......
    I have been using the same DVDs CDs for months with this equipment ad has always been ok till now - philips dvd-r?
    I will have to try and get d2 ext mounted today to do some backing-up, i know, i'm so lazy but i got quite complacent with the lacie ext as everything is backed-up into that and i hoped i was doing enough.
    the ext. HD is only a year old and I wouldn't expect that to fail yet - it's only on when i'm using video and backing-up so hardly overworked.
    we'll see what happens today
    thanks again for your thougts for now

  • Spinning ball when browsing Xvid videos..

    Hey guys, I'm afraid I have abit of a difficult one with not much to go on.
    I have my Mac Mini G4 hooked up to my standard def tv via the Composite/S-Video adapter and running iTheater on it to play back Xvid movies, the problem is whenever I'm browsing to find a video inside of iTheater, my Mac will freeze up, with a spinning ball going continuously. The cpu fan will go into turbo mode, but I think it eventually gets over it after a few minutes and unfreezes (thaws? :p).
    Ok, so, here are the details
    - 10.4.11
    - iTheater 0.2.0
    - DivX 6.7
    Now, I've been watching movies fine in DivX Player, and Quicktime appears to play them as well, I haven't played for too long since QuickTime won't do full screen.(I think iTheater uses it as a backend)
    It will freeze whenever I highlight a Xvid video (but not always, sometimes I can highlight a few no worries), which should be when it gets a thumbnail of the video, if I'm correct, but never does. It seems to affect videos in the Movies folder and via my Samba share on a windows box, both wirelessly and wired.
    The problem doesn't appear to happen when connected to my 17" computer LCD.
    The problem used to happen with MediaCentral many months ago, but I eventually rage quit and dumped my Mac in a cupboard. MediaCentral if I remember correctly would freeze when browsing videos even though the software doesn't generate thumbnails.
    I've tested the RAM using the Apple Hardware test and Rember, and it passed both.
    So, that leaves me with the following theories (I think),
    - Codec issue
    - Something to do with my settings for displaying it on the tv which are causing it to hang (they're default, and its a PAL tv)
    - Hardware issue.
    Anyone able to help?

    I have to think you are just dealing with a bug in the 0.2 code of iTheatre.
    Have you tried your question on the iTheatre support forums?
    It is particularly odd that you don't have the problem with your monitor, but do with the TV.
    If diagnosing this, I would experiment with having/not having a network share alias. And also trying different xvid files, in case there is some odd about one of them.

  • Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion frequently hangs with spinning ball for 1 min while a page is loading, or while opening a new tab. No tabs useable

    Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion. Frequently hangs for minutes with spinning ball, usually while a page is loading (status bar says "loading..." "waiting..."), but sometimes just while on the same page. Other tabs and windows are not useable, even though only one tab is waiting. I usually have 2-4 windows open with several tabs each. Behavior is no different in safe mode. This is making the browser unusable.
    In the past this happened and I've reinstalled or created a new clean profile, but it always recurs.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Lion: Spinning Ball using Mail - Attempting to "clean" all data

    I've read dozens of threads on the Spinning Ball Syndrome with Lion and Mail. I've tried all of the suggestions and still no luck.
    My case is unique, and should be simple to solve - because I never set up any mail accounts and am willing to delete ALL mail files.
    Sometimes I get the spinning ball and have to force quit.
    When I start the Mail app, sometimes it doesn't even appear as an app starting up, but I can use command-tab to switch apps and find it.
    I would appreciate anyone's help:
    Can I REMOVE ALL mail data files and start "clean"?
    Background:
    Used a Mac Mini for 3+4 years as a music media station. NEVER set up any mail accounts on the machine.
    Upgraded through a few OS generations up to Lion.
    Bought a new Mac Mini about a week ago.
    Before migrating data to the new machine, I updated all software, verified and repaired disk permissions, and ran fsck -yf in single user mode on the source.
    Then I migrated the data to the new machine using migration assistant, including user settings.
    Updated all software.
    I've verified permissions, repaired them. Verified the hard disk. No errors. And I've removed files that were mentioned in related threads.
    - Removed
    /Library/Preferences/
    com.apple.mail.plist
    com.apple.mail.plist.lockfile 
    No change
    - Went to
    /Library/Mail/V2 (that was the only folder)
    Clicked on Maildata and removed everything except for:
    accountsplist
    messageruleplist
    No change
    Please see the attached screen shot of my /Library/Mail/V2 directory. Everything looks stripped and recent.
    Is there anything else I can get rid of?
    Any other suggestions appreciated.
    Hardware: New Mac Mini (it wasn't preloaded with Mountain Lion)
    Lion v 10.7.4
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Still only 4GB RAM (Haven't had a chance yet to install new RAM)

    Please repost on the correct forum, this is an iMac forum. There are forums specifically for Mac Mini users, however the answers will probably still be the same.

  • 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.

  • A click anywhere on the screen causes a spinning ball. iMac 27inch

    We get a spinning ball when we click on anything on the screen. We rebooted. We disconnected periferals. We disabled TimeMachine. Still spinning ball. Very slow bootup of any app.

    The SBBOD can be caused by many things so it's a little difficult to troubleshoot. I would recommend starting by restarting the computer in Safe Mode. This will clear some caches, it's possible one or more have become corrupted. If that doesn't do it there is an excellent article that lists trouble shooting steps, the cause for your problem is probably located in it. The article is Spinning Beach Ball of Death .
    Common causes are a too full HD, failing HD, not enough RAM, a process that is taking too much %CPU etc. If you still can't find the cause after using these tools you will need to bring the machine into an Apple Store or AASP to be diagnosed.

  • Spinning ball at Pages startup

    When starting Pages, spinning ball of death keep turning and no documents show up.
    I boot the iMac in Safe boot mode - Same.
    Please, anyone has a suggestion?

    What have you got in the folder?
    It may simply be large and numerous, with possibly graphics that need to be converted like .eps, .ai, .bmp etc and it takes time to open, particularly if you don't have enough memory on a slow machine.
