Spinning beachball of death issues

I have 2,250+ cards in my address book along with 9 groups - I'm starting to notice the spinning beachball of death occurring for a second or so at a time every time I edit an entry, search or move entries into groups.
It occurs no matter how many other apps are running. Am I reaching som ekind of threshold or is there another issue I need to investigating?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Another user with a similar problem has tried some things that indicates this could be a system-wide issue that has nothing to do with the actual contents of the Address Book database. You may want to try some of the things I’ve suggested there in case any of them work for you:

Safari and Firefox spinning beachball of death––HELP I can't use the net

Today, 3/30, a new problem surfaced. Nearly every time I click on any link or go to any website, I get the spinning beachball of death. After 1 to 5 minutes, it stops and the page appears. When I go to the next page or link, it starts again. I have a Mac Pro 2008, Leopard which has been running just fine for months. No recent changes.
It does not occur on the other macs on my home network.
It happens with Safari and Firefox.
It happens with ethernet or wifi connection.
I have repaired permissions, run a full tech tools pro diagnostic, and of course I have rebooted several times. Nothing changes.
This makes my computer totally unusable for internet. Any ideas? (Obviously I am writing this post on another computer.)

You are not the only one I have the same issue. Sorry this post is'nt to but to let you know others are having the same issue my Imac works great but my LT is worthless

HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. 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 shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Can't open a new Pages document - spinning beachball of death.

I have an early 2008 imac, running mavericks.
I can open an existing document in Pages, but if I try to open a new document, I get the spinning beachball of death.
I deleted and reload Pages, also reloaded Mavericks. it didn't help.

The truth? That's it, I've exhausted the possibilities.
Simply don't use Pages 5.
I don't enjoy all the hand holding and crying on shoulders of the users frustrated with all the lost features and ultimately lost work.
I've said it before and will say it again Pages 5 is an unannounced beta, and still is at v5.2.2.
If Apple had any regard for its users and their valuable work it would have built in real compatibility with prior versions and the mainstream MsOffice world and released this when it actually worked.
If you have an older Mac, surely you also used earlier versions of iWork which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

Spinning beachball of death won't go away, iTunes always crashing

I've been having problems with my MacBook since updating to iTunes 8.2.1 a couple of weeks ago. After updating iTunes would hang on the spinning beachball and crash constantly- the application was totally unusable. I removed iTunes, reinstalled it and rebuilt my library. After that iTunes worked most of the time, but occasionally would get hung up on the beachball.
Over the past couple of days it's gotten much worse. I'm unable to have both iTunes and Firefox (or iTunes and any other application) open at the same time- I get the spinning beachball and have to force quit everything. It usually takes several minutes for the force quit command to actually work. Today I downloaded a show from the iTunes store and iTunes crashed halfway through. I was able to re-open iTunes and get the show downloaded, but when I tried to open iTunes again several hours later I got a message saying something about how there was a problem and that my iTunes library has been renamed as damaged.
I removed and reinstalled iTunes again and now iTunes won't open at all. I don't know how to move forward at this point. I ran disk utility to check the permissions and there were a number of problems, but no matter how many times I click repair permissions they reappear. (Permissions differ on "System/Library/Components/AudioCodecs.component/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .) It's the same permissions issue over and over. I don't know how to fix this.
Does anyone have suggestions on what steps I can take? Right now my computer is very frustrating to use because I'm not able to use more than one application at once, and I'm not sure if this is because of the problems I've been having with iTunes, or if it's something else altogether. Has anyone been able to successfully resolve their issues with iTunes?

Logic pro 9.1.8 won't load and I get spinning beachball of death

I have ML that is up to date and logic studio 9.1.8. When I try to run 9.1.8 (1700.67) (64-bit) I get to a splash screen that says "Searching for Audio Unit plug-ins (Apple:AUNetReceive).....and I have the spinning beachball of the death. I have to use force quit the app.
I have looked at a few threads and can't find my answer. Should I trash permissions or reload the app after I get rid of it using app cleaner?
OR is this a simple fix?
Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried to open it on my MBP, but I assume I will get the same result.

Sorry to state the obvious (?) but you are not Updating/Upgrading.
You are DOWN grading if you are going from 9.1.8 to 9.0.2
If you want to downgrade, likely you will need to ERASE, and reinstall Logic.

Spinning Beachball of Death . . . why did I have to Force Quit ???

Folks:
Last week I had an episode of multiple recurring "application not
responding" errors while trying to select and scroll down through a couple
hundred pages of text in a manuscript of approx. 1.8 MB in size in my word processor, Mellel. As I scrolled down about half way the spinning beachball started spinning and the scrolling process became slow, sluggish, and then unresponsive . . . . I force quit and repeated another 2x to no different response. Finally did "select all" to whole doc and then had to go in to the few pages that I had originally not wanted to select and change them to back to what I wanted . . . a little bit "bassakwards" but I got it done the old fashioned way. Now, when I attempt to "save edits" as I'm going thru my doc the beachball will spin for different periods of time. This is mostly an all text doc with just two (2) photos that have been "inserted" into the doc--seems like the photo's are smaller files than the original, and about 250 pp.
So, the question is is mr Mel (Mellel) trying to tell me something about my system; is this perchance a sign that Macinto II (the 2nd HD in the iBook) is coming close to its ultimate demise? A few years back I began having "issues" with mr Mel that eventually were shown to be signs of the end of Macinto I (named after the famous Seminole Indian chief who fought the US Army to a draw in the Everglades). I had just run the Apple Hardware test just a few days before this
recent episode all happened and it seemed to be OK. But it has been mentioned
here that mr Mel is "processor intensive" and could be just testing the limits
of my 2nd HD??? OR is the test over and all that is left is the funeral pyre for
Macinto II??
Would essentially a 2MB Mellel file be too large for my 933 MHz G4 iBook
with 640 MB DDR SDRAM running Mellel 2.2.7 (build b9) on 10.4.11 . . . to handle
even if it was totally in fighting condition?? Or is the probably 3 year old HD
being brought to expiration by having to deal with running the features that are
brought to the table by mr Mel??
Thanks for any thoughts,
eep

Word processors typically load a large portion of a file into RAM for editing. When more of the document is needed it pages out the unneeded portion and reads more of the document into RAM. So in practice no document is too large. None of your "surmises" would seem to make sense.
A more likely scenario is disk corruption or file corruption assuming the hard drive isn't failing. Continued forced shutdown of the computer is a sure fire way to corrupt a hard drive if not cause it fatal damage.
I suggest reading the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
10. MimMac (Commercial)
11. CloneTool Hatchery (Shareware)
12. Clone X (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

Aperture 3 (trial) & the Spinning Beachball of Death...

I have downloaded the A3 trial version...no problem...unpacked & installed the program and applied the serial number...no problem...imported my iPhoto library...seemingly no problem...EG the photos appeared just fine and then the "importing" message below became "processing" and shortly after that...THE SPINNING BEACH BALL OF DEATH APPEARED!
...and it won't go away! The program is totally locked up! In fact the only way to stop it is to use "force quit" from the icon on the menu bar.
When I attempted a restart...same thing all over again...
I even left the SBBofD and the "processing" message alone for many hours...nothing...it just keeps going and going and going.
So...any suggestions please?
Cheers!

Sounds fine. AP3 has to do a massive conversion job to build previews and index your images. Has a similar task to index all of your faces. This is a one-time process, but it takes about 5 - 10 seconds per image and that can translate to hours of time.
Suggestions:
-- First of all, be sure that you are running the latest release of the Mac OS and Aperture.
-- Don't force quit - you risk damaging the data base. Don't use Aperture during this time; let it run.
*-- * Click on the Activity Monitor or simply click on the word "processing" at the bottom of the screen. It should give you a display that shows what is happening and what is queued. As long as the numbers are incrementing, go get some coffee. (Maybe two.) If it reaches a number (X of Y) and hangs for a time, say an hour, then you may have a problem and you need to talk to Apple.
Once the conversion is completed, Aperture 3 is very fast.

Spinning Beachball of Death Question

Is there a way to actually see what is "going on" (i.e. causing the hang) when a SBOD appears on screen? Some sort of monitoring software or log that might show what program/process/disk usage, etc. is causing the hanging of the system?
FYI, I have loaded developer tools but have not gone through them to see if there is such a program to do this.
PowerMac G5 2.5, PowerBook G4, Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Whilst youmay be trying to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted, it may be worthwhile for you to reinstall the 10.4.9 Combo updater after going through the following:
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Update procedure recommendation
First, make a full backup of your current Mac OS X installation -- preferably a clone ( try SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner). If something goes wrong, or you experience a major incompatibility after updating, the backup will prove invaluable.
Next, if you are the cautious type, run a disk repair on the volume targeted for installation. You can use an n alternative startup drive or your Mac OS X installation disc. If you are starting up from your Mac OS X install disc, put the disc in your optical drive and restart holding down the "C" key. After your system starts up and you've selected your language, go to the "Utilties" menu and select "Disk Utility." Use the "Repair Disk" function. After disk repairs are complete, restart from your normal startup drive and continue.
Avoid performing any other operations (in Mac OS X or third-party applications) while the update process is occurring. Performing other tasks during the update process potentiates various issues, including problems with prebinding (which is happening during the "Optimizing the system" phase of the update process) and others that can occur when files are being replaced by the update are also being read/written by the currently logged in user. You should not only refrain from launching applications or working with files during the update process, but also from putting the system to sleep, disconnecting/connecting devices, and other potentially interruptive actions.
In addition, before installing the update, make sure all Apple-installed applications and utilities are in their original locations. Moving one of these applications to a different location on your hard drive can lead to an incomplete update. Also, disconnect any FireWire/USB devices before applying Mac OS X 10.4.9 (except for your startup drive, if it is FireWire or USB, and your keyboard/mouse), then re-connect the devices one by one (checking for issues created by any particular device) after the update process is complete and the system has restarted. Also, note that the first restart after applying Mac OS X 10.4.9 may be abnormally long. Subsequent restarts should take place at normal speed.

ITunes 8 will not launch. Spinning beachball of death. Will not Force Quit.

Hi.
About two weeks ago, after I upgraded to iTunes 8, iTunes stopped opening. I click the icon, it bounces and I get the window. When I hover my mouse over it, I get the beachball. There is no menuline on the top of the screen. iTunes 8 did work for a while after I got it, but suddenly didn't. I may have updated the OSX version, and that's what made it crash, I do not know. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, installed 7.7.5 and it still doesn't work. I have deleted my libraries and any file associated with iTunes on my mac.
I now can't configure my phone or contacts, transfer files to my iPod Touch for work, and I can't configure a new iPhone I got. This needs to be addressed instantly.
I'm on a January 2008 Mac Pro running Leopard, with all updates installed.
Please help.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
You have already done a great job of trouble shooting. At this point, I suggest you do an Archive and Install.
Back up your files/music/video/documents etc to an external source. Your iTunes Library is in your Music folder. Open a Finder window, in the Sidebar on the left, click Music/ITunes library.
Here's how to do the Archive and Install: Reinstalling Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 Look down where it says; Install Options
After you do this, do not connect any peripherals like your iPhone or iPod Touch until you download and install iTunes, here's the download link for that: Download iTunes
After you install iTunes, reboot your Mac. Then follow the instructions to use your iPod Touch and see if that functions as it should. If it does, try your iPhone. Make sure you follow the instructions in the manuals.
Lastly, run Disk Utlity and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x, select the FirstAid tab, then click Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished, Quit DU and reboot.

Spinning beachball of death

I have been fighting this on my wife's iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.7) for about the past year, and nothing seems to help. I maxed out the RAM (from 2 GB to 4 GB) and it seemed to help for a while, but it's back. I've tried numerous hardware tests (including TechTools Pro 5 and Apple's), repaired permissions, safe boot, reset PRAM. I've used OnyX to varying degrees of success (clearing caches, checking the drive for errors, etc), but the relief is always temporary and sometimes so short that it seems that my efforts are futile.
For a while (before I replaced and upgraded the RAM), I assumed I would have to reinstall OS X, so I postponed and postponed. When I eventually reinstalled, I was surprised to find that the problem didn't go away (though the delays were shorter and much less frequent. I took it into the Apple Store and they tried a few things (most notably reinstalling the OS) and blamed it on the RAM. Because I already had new RAM at home, I took the machine home and replaced the RAM, increasing the total to 4 GB. It seemed to be better for a while, but now it's as bad as ever -- except now Activity Monitor shows that there is plenty of free RAM.
This morning, I even got the SBBOD after a reboot, at the login screen (when I clicked on a user).
Any suggestions?

1. Download Onyx and use the cleanup facilities for your Mac.
     As I mentioned, I have used OnyX with limited success. Can you recommend specific cleanup tasks that would help more than others?
2. Do regular Software updates.
     I do; I updated from OS X 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 earlier today, and the only updates available from Apple are for iTunes and the AirPort utility.
3. Restrict certain files to be backed up from Time Capsule.
     I do restrict some, but I'm curious which ones you suggest. The Time Machine backups have been extremely useful to recover everything without having to reinstall
4. It's best to erase and install every now and then if your computer reaches above 70% capacity.
     Can you explain that statement? I assume you're talking about the hard drive being 70% full, which isn't true in this case -- I think we're at 50% or less.

IPhoto won't open. Spinning beachball of death until I force quit.

What to do?

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

CS6/Mac - Linked Text Boxes Spinning Beachball Issue

Issue:
When I have two Text Boxes Linked together and Im typing on the second box my curser flashes/ blinks from curser to the spinning beachball of death back and forth as im typing..
Anyone know how to stop this from happening.. Its very annoying and distracting while Im trying to type.
Steps to Recreate:
1. Create a new document in InDesign
2. Create two text boxes/ frames of any size, smaller (2" x 2") is better so you dont have to type a lot of text
3. Link the two text boxes/ frames
4. Start typing random filler text in the first text box until it starts overflowing into the second one..
5. Note that the curser does or doesnt start to flash/ blink from curser to beachball over and over as you type.

Apple assumes that users are adult able to read the User Guide delivered with the application (from the Help menu).
We have the choice between two different formats.
Choose the one fitting our needs is no more complicated than choose a ballot-paper.

Spinning beachball on login/authentication, but only when connected

Since installing a new router (Linksys WRTP54G) and Airport Express (in WDS mode), I get the spinning beachball of death when logging in after sleep, switching users, or authenticating on a wireless iBook G4 (OS X.3.9). I've waited for many minutes, but the beachball doesn't go away. If I turn off Airport, everything works fine. I don't have this problem on my other wireless laptop (Powerbook G4).
Below is an excerpt from the iBook system log in case it's helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You might have to update your Airports Firmware and
your OSX.
Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't updated my OS, but I did update the Airport Express firmware (to v6.3). Unfortunately, I still get the spinning beach ball.
Any other thoughts?

MacBook Pro 13 and the Spinning Ball of Death. How to fix it?

I bought my macbook pro last year and after several months, (summer 2010) i faced an isight problem. I went to info-quest, where they fix computers here in Athens,Greece and charged me 458 euros. Fortunately, I had the warranty and paid nothing. Till then I was really satisfied with my mac. However, recently i faced another problem with it. Yesterday, my mac became so slow and i get the spinning ball of death. I can't do anything right now, for instance, if i want to shut it down, i have to wait for a long period of time til it shuts down and my mac becomes so unresponsive. To sum up, everything i do, scroll down, scroll up, click the x button, the spinning beachball of death reappears. I really hope there is a solution for this problem.

Any number of things may factor into the appearance of a spinning ball of death, but it basically comes down to an operation or command that is stalled.
First, your quick fix: when you experience a SBOD, click on an empty patch of screen so you can access the pulldown Apple menu. Scroll down to Force Quit; approve of the Force quit, and enter. The command or operation will be aborted, and you'll be able to use your MBP again.
Second, the next time it happens, take note of which application is stalled when you navigate to Force Quit. It will be noted in red, and show as inactive. Now, you know which application is causing you the problem. It may be that the application is faulty, or you have too many windows open at the same time, or there's a conflict of some sort.
Respond to this post so we can fix this once and for all!
