Spinning beach ball far too often, here is my Terminal readout... Dropbox and Messages the issue?

Here is the Terminal readout, should I be concerned with the results? What to do if anything?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • IMac (early 2008) crashing/freezing/beach ball appearing too often

    Hi - I'm new to the support community but am in need of advice/help for my iMac that is crashing with blue and/or white screens or freezing with unresponsive mouse/keyboard and a spinning beach ball.
    It's been doing this for about 6 months, and 4 months ago I sent it to an Authorised Apple repair centre. They upgraded the HDD to 1Tb as disk space was just about used up and beefed the emory up from 4Gb to 6Gb. However, within the week, it was doing it again - and the repair centre dont want to help anymore (seperate issue) - hence the plea for help as, no suprise, its frustrasting me beyond belief - I'm now almost at the point of giving up the mac way of life
    The iMac is a 24" Early 2008 machine (2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) running Mavericks at 10.9.1 (albeit the issues were there last summer before the upgrade). The machine wont run a hardware test with holding down the D or Alt D on boot up - it used to do this fine before the Mavericks upgrade
    Appreciate anyone's steer/advice - my technical knowledge is quite low (hence going for the mac in the first place)
    Ta in advance to any replies

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    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. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” 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.
    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 paragraph doesn’t apply.
    The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    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. 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.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    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. In most cases, the difference is not important.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
    The test may take up to 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. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window. If you don't see that line within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
    When the test is complete, 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.
    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.
    When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    Youtube won't work in safe mode because it depends on Flash. Flash is a browser plug-in, and plug-ins are disabled. The user interface may seem slower because hardware graphics acceleration is also disabled.
    It sounds like your problem isn't manifested in safe mode. That means it was caused by one of two things: (a) a corrupt or outdated system cache that was rebuilt by booting in safe mode, or (b) some third-party software that you installed and that's temporarily disabled in safe mode.
    Reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If the beachballs don't come back, problem solved.
    If the beachballs do come back after rebooting, then open the Accounts preference pane in System Preferences and enable guest logins. Log in as Guest (no password needed) and test again. That will tell you whether the problem is due to something in your home folder, or outside your home folder.

  • Spinning beach ball FFv21, mac os 10.6.8, seizes control of my computer every 10 seconds - Im going mad!!

    Duplicate see [/questions/960928]
    Im going insane with the spinning beachball on mac when using Firefox v21.
    It happens several times per minute with something as simple as choosing the next field on a page or even scrolling down the page using the scroller on the right hand of the page.
    Im on a laptop which has os 10.6.8 installed and the laptop has 8gig of ram and a 2.8ghz intel core 2 duo processor.
    On previous versions of Firefox I used to get "unresponsive script" warnings with the option to stop it. These warnings would pop up and never give the option to "always stop an unresponsive script AND never take total control of my computer trying to get the script to respond"
    There is no option to block the script on the site its coming from.
    I did have a block script plug in but no sites work properly if java script isnt enabled.
    With Firefox21 I dont get these pop up warnings any more.
    I have a lot of tabs open and when the spinning beach ball happens too often I quit firefox and open it again. It remembers my tabs but doesnt load till I click on the tab.
    Despite this Firefox will start stalling and showing the beachball spinning only after a few new pages are opened.
    It is enfuriating and I dont consider the software to be working properly.
    Im wondering has something gottten corrupted in the System Library when firefox installs or if there is a compatability problem with versions of Firefox, my OS10.6.8, Java, Flash?
    I can only look at one tab at a time - I WOULD LOVE IF THERE WAS AN OPTION TO
    "NOT GIVE ANY RESOURCES TO OTHER TABS WHICH ARENT BEING VIEWED"
    I used to use a plug in called Pause All Tabs which was brilliant and gave me back control of my computer. I cant get it for FF21
    So what can I do? Use Chrome instead?

  • Lightroom 3+ (Mac OSX) Spinning Beach Ball on Import only?

    Hello --
      When I first starting using Lightroom 3 on my 27" quad-core iMac, detection of an inserted memory card (Compact Flash or SDHC) was instantaneous.  It's one of the things that really attracted me to Lightroom -- plug in, and go!
      Sometime after around 3.2 or so, the spinning beach ball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_wait_cursor) started appearing for about 60 to 120 seconds every time I inserted a card.  I first thought it might be the cheap $10 Compact Flash USB 2.0 reader I was using, so I invested in a firewire reader from Synchrotech, since it appears the Lexar one has disappeared off of the market.  No change.
      Here are some other facts:
    - This happens every time I import with no exception.
    - Once the spinning beach ball goes away, performance is as expected (very fast).
    - The spinning beach ball almost never appears anywhere else in Lightroom.
    - Outside of Lightroom, the finder recognizes the cards immediately after inserting, and I can get to the files and copy them without any issue.
    - I have tried Sandisk and Lexar cards of a variety of speeds and sizes.  No difference.
    - The problem happens with catalogs that already have images and brand new catalogs (no difference in performance).
    - My catalogs are stored on local disk, and the photo files are located on a fileshare over GB ethernet.  This environment has been the same before and after I experienced the spinning beach ball during import.
    - During the spinning beach ball, the network switch is "bored," so I have a pretty good idea that the Mac isn't trying to scour or index the fileshare.
    - I have updated to the latest:  the just-released Lightroom 3.4.  No change.
    - I have tried both the "automatically bring up the Import dialog on card insert" as well as the manual approach where I have to click on Import in the Library module.  I have also tried going into the Import section and then inserting a card.  All have the same effect -- a guaranteed beach ball when Lightroom figures out a card is there.
      I hope someone else is experiencing this issue and can give me a tip or two to make it go away.  Two minutes to wait for the system to do absolutely nothing every time I put in a card is ridiculous!
    -- Justin

    a lock file is created every time LR is opened. It stops the database being accessed by more than one application. Sometimes, due to an improper shut down of LR the lock file remains. As  you have discovered, in this case, you cannot open LR until you delete the lock file.

  • Spinning beach ball since I upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.4

    I upgraded the OS for my MAC to 10.6.4 and now I frequently get a spinning beach ball. I never had this problem with previous versions of OS.

    I had been seeing increasing incidences of this. It was getting very annoying. FWIW, I'm using FF 6.0 and 10.6.8. This wasn't where FF was just taking time downloading. I'd get the spinning beach ball for 15-20 seconds BEFORE it started actually downloading, and frequently when I was already on a web page, and just scrolling down.
    I tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions. No help.
    Here's how I fixed it.
    (1) Fix permissions and
    (2) Completely remove and restore Firefox. Remove all FF preferences (trash user/Library/Firefox), the application, and re install the application.
    Yes, be sure you preserve your bookmarks, ideally through Xmarks, and you'll have to redo all your passwords. Small price to pay.
    After I did this, I had NO problems. Spinning beach balls are gone.
    But I'd sure like to know why ...

  • I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, which has re-booting problems. Also what does the spinning beach-ball indicate?

    Hi, I have an early 2008 Mac Pro which has re-booting problems.
    Processor speed is: 2.8
    Memory: 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    2 x 28GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    I am running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10
    My Mac Pro keeps re-booting. Last year I had to replace my graphics card. My original card was the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 255MB, and that is what I have now. At this precise moment my Mac Pro is running perfectly, except that it is slow and the spinning beach-ball keeps appearing. I have managed to do some work with the disk utilities, verifying, cleaning and partitioning. Some errors were found and when it was cleaned this seemed to help my Mac Pro to function properly. Although I am able to use my Mac Pro now, from day to day I still experience re-boot problems. Also quite unexpectedly my mac dictionary has an error, it closed itself down and will not open at all, I had the message to say that a report will be sent to Apple.
    I have tried starting my computer with an external hard drive fitted via a USB cable, I use for back-ups. This worked and I was able to wipe my hard drive clear and replace all info from the back up I had done only a few days ago.
    This worked for a few days and then the same problem started again.
    I am beginning to wonder if I need to buy a new hard drive.
    If there is anyone who has some answers to help me solve my problem, I would be most grateful.
    Robert

    When you have the beachball activity, 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.

  • Frequent Crashes - Unrecoverable spinning beach ball of death - with 10.5.7

    I upgraded to 10.5.6 when it was released. I experienced multiple kernel panics daily, many of which cited graphics related faults. So I reformatted the HD, reinstalled Leopard, and installed the 10.5.5 combo update.
    Last week I installed the 10.5.7 combo update along with other minor non-os updates. Now, instead of having multiple kernel panics, I get multiple system Freezes at random. But usually associated with opening or closing dialog boxes (save as..., etc.), progress bars, and opening Apps from the dock. The system freeze is evident by the Spinning Beach Ball of Death. CMD-OPT-Esc doesn't not bring up the force quit dialog box, nor will any menu item be accessible. The temp increases as it's stuck in some loop. The case area near F3 and F4 gets very hot. I installed the Fan Control Pref Pane to force the fans on earlier.
    So, still under the assumption that it's a software issue. I did an Archive and Install of Leopard, and upgraded the OS using 10.5.7 combo update. Sadly, the system freezes still occur at random, but still mostly when animating dialog boxes. The last one was when I tried to attach a file in Mail.app (and then again while trying to open the system profiler while writing this post).
    The only way out of the freeze is to give the one-finger-salute to the power button, and power down.
    At first I thought this might be a software issue like a corrupt file, poorly written driver or kernel extension, or memory leak. But now, I'm concerned that this might be a sign of a failing GPU as the 8600M GT GPUs had some manufacturing trouble.

    I just updated last evening to 10.5.7 on my 24" White iMac (late 2006) and am having the same issue. I did it first on my 12" G4 iBook without any issues for a week so I went ahead and updated the iMac. I'm using it now with kid gloves. I've disabled Default Folder and DragThing to see if they are incompatible (no updates for either were available at this time) but I also have a feeling my Drobo storage device might be related because Spotlight was indexing after the update. I hadn't used spotlight much because I don't think it was in fact indexing the Drobo before the update. My search results seemed limited to the internal drive. The Drobo firmware and utility are both up-to-date as well.

  • Address Book Spinning Beach Ball of Death Crashes -- Lost Address Book Data

    Over the past three weeks Address Book has suffered spinning beach ball crashes three times. Each time resulting in total loss of the data in the address book.
    I can understand that from time to time an application might crash, but there is NO excuse for the crash to result in the TOTAL loss of data associated with the application.
    And having to revert to manually stored backup archives is NOT acceptable.
    Is there a way to restore the Address Book database to what it was IMMEDIATElY before the crash?
    I notice that there are unix executable files with data in them in the address book subfolder in the address book folder in the Applications Support Folder.
    Can they be used to restore the database?
    If so, what is the method and why is it not more clearly documented?
    If not, why not?
    Why isn't one able to set the application to automatically make backups every so many minutes?
    What are the primary factors that cause Address Book to Crash?
    Is there a file size limit to Address Book?
    Is there a need for a minimum amount of RAM?
    Why hasn't the dev team fixed these bugs?

    This same thing happened to me. Did you ever figure out what to do?

  • Spinning beach ball, mouse tracks, screen turns to patches of lines

    Spinning  beach ball appears a lot, mouse leaves a wide track across screen when the computer wakes up,  screen turns to lines across it, with desktop visible beneath. Really weird. Anyone have similar symptoms?

    Hmmm all I can say is my windows shake without me touching anything and my trackerpad is already disabled!

  • The spinning beach ball has become my worst nightmare!

    the spinning beach ball has become my worst nightmare! I had my  mac at the genius bar it worked great when I left now every time I hit enter I get the spinning wheel. Cold it be my internet  connection

    See this FAQ on resolving the spinning beach ball: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sbbod.html

  • Power Mac G4 MDD 1.25GHz DP often completely locks up in the first few minutes after booting, sometimes with the spinning beach ball, normally with a very high pitched whining noise.

    Over the last few months my Mac has developed a worrying habit.
    Within the first few minutes of starting it up (perhaps on average about 50% of the time) it will completely lock up. This may happen at the Log In screen (if I start up the Mac & then leave it for a while) or during normal use.
    Often the first symptom is a very high pitched (but quiet) whining noise that seems to come from the loud speaker on the front of the Mac. The pointer may freeze at this point, or it may still be moveable for 5 or 10 seconds before it freezes. It sometimes turns into the spinning beach ball during this. Once locked up the only way I can restart the Mac is to hold down the power button on the front for a few seconds to completely reboot the machine.
    Once the Mac has restarted, it usually behaves normally, almost always for the rest of the day. The initial lock up & resulting restart only normally seem to happen the first time I use the Mac that day.
    The only peripherals attached to the Mac (apart from the display, keyboard & mouse) are an ADSL modem, a USB printer and a pair of Apple Pro speakers, and this setup hasn't changed since long before the problems started, so I'm confident that I can discount the peripherals causing problems. I doubt that unplugging the speakers, for example, would have any effect.
    I've run Disc Utility, OnyX and DiscWarrior without anything major cropping up. My instincts (I've been troubleshooting Mac problems for 16 years) tell me that I have a fundamental hardware problem, possibly with one of the 4 RAM DIMMs installed.
    The RAM configuration is shown in the attached screen grab.
    I'm considering removing one DIMM, running with 1.5GB of RAM rather than 2GB for a while, and repeating with a different DIMM removed each time until I can hopefully isolate the dodgy DIMM.
    Do people feel this is a sensible approach, or should I try something else first?
    Many thanks.

    Sometimes visual inpection will show bulging tops/sides., my guess is if it is it's most likely in the PSU.
    Possible cheap fix, You can convert an ATX PSU for use on a G4...

  • Spinning Beach Ball occurs often

    I keep having issues where I'll get spinning beach ball.  Not sure how to diagnose.  I've noticed it happened today with Chrome today, and display settings yesterday/today.  It's starting to occur often.

  • I have a 4 yr. old iMac. I recently got a trojan on it that sent out emails to my address book. I got Norton Internet Security for Mac, and now my Mac is running slow, with way too many spinning beach balls of death. Was it a mistake to install Norton?

    There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox.
