Spinning beach ball and a restart

During the past two days, I've got three spinning beach balls that just won't quit. So I had to resort to pressing that little button on the fron of my G4 tower for a restart. After that, everything is back to normal. Each time it happened when trying to either open or close a folder (different each time).
The console logs this:
Oct 30 08:46:19 (xxx)s-G4 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framewo rk/Support/ATSServer: FSFindFolder failed for domain -32762: 0x-43. Now relying on persistent store for said domain.\n
I tried googling but couldn't find anything useful. Does anyone here know what it means?

Do you mean a physical problem?
I don't have DiskWarrior, and Disk Utility says there are no problems. I purchased the HD just this week, and before installing anything onto it, I erased it using DiskUtility's "zero out" option.
Just an hour ago, I had another problem with it. The computer had gone to sleep, and when I awoke it, the mouse cursor could move alright, but nothing happened when I tried clicking on things.
Anyway, I've sent a mail to the seller, and am awaiting a reply. It's Friday afternoon, so I probably have to wait till Monday. In the meantime, I'm re-migrating the system back to the old HD.

I am having trouble with a LaCie 526 monitor working with my new Mac Pro. When I boot up, I see the sign-in screen for a second, then it disappears, reappears with some of the screen pixelated and the spinning beach ball -- and then freezes. Any thoughts

The LaCie is connected via DVI to thunderbolt adapter. It had been working, and then when I switched off the computer and restarted several days later, I see the signon screen flash quickly, followed by nothing, followed by the signon screen and spinning beach ball and it simply freezes. Any thoughts?

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
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.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

Spinning Beach Ball and computer freeze

Tonight I continually receive the spinning beach ball. The computer freezes and I need to do a hard shutdown. I have run repair permissions several times. I do receive the modified and no repaire messages. I have traced message lines on the forum and it does not appear to be a serious issue. However, it does not change the fact I repeatedly get the spinning beach ball and after some period of time need to do a hard shutdown. At first this took place in Aperture only, but it did he same thing in other applications as well.
Any thoughts? What do I need to do to resolve the issue?
Thanks

27 ", late 2010, iMac won't boot after turning on. Spinning beach ball and white screen.

Probably a relatively simple fix, or series of steps, that will return it to normal.

BD,
It's been a while, but I have since upgraded RAM to 12Gb and gone to Mavericks 10.9.4. Everything has run well until recently. Time Machine will not function on a new Seagate, 1TB GoFlex external HD,even though it was properly formatted and HFS journaled. Seagate techs said it seems to be a failing drive, yet it works perfectly on my laptop, a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. The drive completes less than 10% of the backup before it locks everything up on the iMac with the spinning beach ball and a gray screen. Left it that way for two days and no change. Removed the drive physically and the iMac works just fine. I am baffled and really a bit frustrated here and wonder if you, or anyone else, has an idea about correcting this? I am suspecting that there is something deeper in the system going on than I am seeing.
I have run a verification of Disc Permissions/Repairs and keep getting this coming up: "Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x ."
That keeps coming up every time and is not fixed. I don't know if that has anything to do with that.
Baffled...

Spinning beach ball and frozen spotlight on iMac

I cannot use spotlight. The window opens and I cannot type in it because I get a spinning beach ball when the cursor is moved to that area. No matter what I do, it won't go away. I have run disk utilities, zapped the pram, run tech tool pro. Searching on this subject did bring up discussions of cache cleaner, but it appears it is no longer available for Snow Leopard (even though it appears you can download it from several places, it is really Lion Cache Cleaner). Relaunching the finder does not help. Restarting the machine doesn't help either, as soon as I try and use spotlight, the same thing happens. In fact, the whole right side of the menu bar causes the cursor to turn into the spinning ball. Any ideas?
thanks,
Joe

I think it is definitely related to indexing. I am attaching a screen shot. I think that the application I have open in the menu, which I cannot remember what it is called, nor can I turn it off because my cursor is a beachball, may be part of the problem. While I was trouble shooting, a menu dropped down show that my computer was being indexed. At the same time spotlight opened by itself and it said "Indexing". I tried relaunching the finder, which would not happen. I had to hit the power switch to shut down. Do you recognize what that program in my menu bar is?

Spinning beach ball and no Finder icons

I am trying to troubleshoot this problem:
My brother was trying to move a lot of JPGs (3,500 of them!) by dragging from one folder to another, but he missed the target folder and they started appearing on his desktop. The only way he could think of to kill the process was to Restart.
After restarting, the system seems to load normally EXCEPT all the icons on his desktop are missing (including the ones for his hard drives) AND the Finder cursor is the spinning beach ball.
Mail, Safari, etc, will load and function normally, but he can't use the Finder. Activity Monitor shows the Finder using high 90s of %CPU.
So far we have tried: Restarting in Safe Mode, Repairing permissions, and running Disk First Aid from the Install DVD - with no problems found and no helpful results.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
gw

HI Gary,
Besides trashing the Finder plist file which would have been my first idea first also, try deleting this one too: com.apple.desktop.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Your Mac will create new pref files for you.
Also.. thought of something else. Go to a clear space on your Desktop so it says Finder in the Menu. Now click Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard. A Force Quit window will open. Select Finder in the list and click Relaunch.
*** Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible) ***
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.

Spinning beach ball and e mail ****.

Often I can't open e mails. This can sometimes be corrected by closing out of the account and reopening. Today I cannot open e mails, and I am getting that spinning beach ball. Won't go away, I can't access anything. Frozen like my 13 yo PC.

From the Mail app choose Mailbox, then Rebuild. It may take a little while, but see if that does it.

Spinning beach ball and slower performance

I have been noticing that the performance of my iMac is becoming slower, with the dreaded spinning beach ball apearing whenever I change between applications to perform relatively basic functions. However, the worst is when I am in iTunes, where I experience the spinning beach ball for several minutes after connecting and choosing a device, and I typically cannot do anything else in other applications until it stops. As for other applications, I have nearly abandoned Aperture because anything from scrolling to adjustments will cause the spinning beach ball to return several seconds to minutes.
My iMac is a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with nearly 30g's left on the hard drive. I have the memory max'd at 4GB. I am running OS X 10.7.2 with all apps completely up to date. Overall, I am doing basic functions in Bento, Pages, and surfing Safari on a daily basis with only the minimal applications needed open at once.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

Hi Todd, thanks for the reply. Actually, I do have CS6 via my Creative Cloud membership but I'm having to work in 5.5 on this particular client's system for a project.
I was hoping that the above solution would be the answer I was searching for but alas, that is apparently not the case, since the issues have returned and the spinning beach ball continues to churn... (nothing like the elation of finding a solution only to later feel crushing defeat as the problem returns...)
The issues were resolved for a while, so perhaps this post may still be able help someone. I'd rather be working in CS6 right now, and I'm pushing for this client to do the upgrade as well. Considering how much time is being wasted waiting for the Mac to continue after hanging every other keystroke, I'd think the client would be anxious to make the change!

Spinning beach ball and black screen on my new macbook pro

After great anticipation, I just updgraded to a new macbook pro from an ibook G4. For the most part, I am thrilled and applications open and web pages load quickly. Occassionally, though, I get spinning beach balls...with more frequency than I did with my ibook and in OS X native apps...such as Safari.
Another problem I am having is in Front Row playing movie trailers: the screen goes black before the end of the trailer, but the audio continues.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
macbook pro 2Ghz, ibook G4, imac G4, power mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

That is the automatic ambient light sensor doing it's thing.
Depending on what machine you have, try turning the screen brightness all the way up. It will buttons on the top row, usually the F-1 for dimmer, F-2 for brighter
Also you can go to sytem preferences>display and un check the automatically adjust brightness for ambient light.
Hope this helps

IMac - spinning beach ball and freezing problems

I've had my white-screen Intel processor iMac for almost two years and its run incredibly well up until the last couple of weeks. Now whenever I switch applications, click on menus, play videos, etc the spinning beach ball appears on the screen for up to two minutes at a time. In some cases it gets so bad the computer needs to have a hard shut down.
This seems to happen in every application so its not only occurring when I'm doing certain tasks. When the beach ball appears it even pauses a song if its playing in iTunes.
I've already done a Command-S boot and also tried disk utility and both are telling me there aren't any hard drive problems.
Is anyone else having this kind of trouble? thanks

I'm having the same problem, but on my MacBook Pro... just started today. I'm even having a hard time filling out this web form.
I've run the UNIX maint scripts, repaired permissions, rebooted, everything simple... plenty of free ram, plenty of free HD space (53GB), no CPU usage (2-5% background stuff), no network traffic... just trying to use my Intel MacBook Pro...
Help!?

Spinning beach ball and MPEG Streamclip

I've downloaded MPEG Streamclip to transfer some Video TS files from a DVD. The files are copied to my desktop and I've tried to open the files using MPEG Streamclip and all I get is the spinning beach ball.
Any ideas on how to get these files to open?
Cheers,
D

I'm afraid that it might be copyrighted material, though I was told that it wasn't.
I tried opening up the two VOB files together, the ones Streamclip highlighted, and continued to get the beach ball, then I opened the files individually. One file gave me timecode break warnings but eventually opened up as the title menu. The other file gives me the spinning beach ball.
Cheers,
D

IPHOTO 11 causing spinning beach ball and freezing. help

I have a mid 2009 macbook with 2.3 dual core and 2 gb ram. i installed iPhoto 11 after a very successful 10.7.3 install. all was well then i began to import my photos from a thumb drive that i downloaded from a macbook pro onto a thumb drive. after few hiccups i realized i had a file that was stopping the import as it cam eup with the error message. so i deleted that and then about 3/4 of the way through the laptop just choked up and the spinning beach ball started and wouldnt stop. couldnt get it to force quit etc..
so after several days of attempts i gave up ended up having to do a safe reboot too many times and have now deleted iphoto and all its contents. my mac is working alebit is a bit sluggishly.
any help? is this due to just 2 gig of ram do i need more ram? i am at a loss and i really need to upload these photos but it just doesnt seems worth the hassle

That shoots that theory down. Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If that library works without a problem your current library is suspect.
In that case if you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Beach ball and occasional restart message (kernel panic warning)

Hello,
I'm getting ready to start an editing project on FCP using my G5. I'm running into general use problems in that everything I do seems to initiate the beach ball. I now have two FW drives hooked up with my video for the project which seems to making everything even slower. Today I came back into the room with a restart the computer sign. It was the kind that is issued when you have a kernel panic. I know this because I lost the hard drive to my G4 a few years back due to a kernel panic. This has happened on the G5 a couple of times and luckily I have been able to restart and get everything going again. Everything is still slow going and now running FCP is very. The computer takes too long to respond to even basic editing commands such as scrubbing through in the browser. I'm thinking it might be a RAM issue. I'm currently at 1.5 GB DDR and know that optimally I want 2. Before I go purchase more RAM I just want to be sure I've taken care of additional details that could make my system run faster and more efficiently without the constant beach ball and restart messages.

Hi Steve,
Here is the complete panic log. I thought this might be easier to give you the whole thing rather than cherry pick.

Spinning Beach Ball and Startup Disc issue

My friend has an IMAC and it has the latest updates and all... About once every day or two the mac just freezes and the rainbow beach ball spins... If she immediately restarts, she gets the question mark folder so her Imac is looking for a startup folder... If she lets it sit overnight, it reboots into her startup disc. The only thing I can think of that could change overnight is a temperature issue??? I have repaired permissions, repaired the startup disc and used Disk Warrior, Drive genius and Cocktail. No fix. Any ideas ladies and gentlemen? I have reinstalled the system software and tried everything I can think of.

What is the S.M.A.R.T. status of the HD in Disk Utility. You Can try running the AHT http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509

IPhoto causing 20-30 second hangs - spinning beach ball and music stops

Very often when I browse through my pictures, suddenly iPhoto will freeze, the beach ball appears and if I attempt to use other programs the entire system freezes. If I'm playing music in iTunes, it will pause and then restart after 20-30 secs when iPhoto and the rest of the system suddenly works again as if nothing happened.
Anyone else notices this? It happens as I said quite often, and I can provoke it by flipping through pictures very fast (for instance by holding down the left or right arrow on the keyboard).
I noticed that this message often appears in the console when I initiate iPhoto:
06/10/09 14.17.11 iPhoto[1023] ILLogger ILMediaBrowserPathWatcher: ** Error in ILMediaBrowserPathWatcher startFSEventStream failed to start for paths: (
"/Users/mikkeldrewsen/Library/Preferences"
I don't know if that's relevant, but there it is none the less.
I hope someone can help me!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
