"spinning rainbow ball of doom" when I open the media inspector!
whenever I open the media inspector within iWeb I get the infamous "spinning rainbow ball of doom" and no matter how long I leave it the program has effectively crashed. I eventually have to force quit (the prompt tells me that iWeb is not responding). This happens every time and is highly annoying as I am forced to drag media from their host programs (iPhoto, iMovie etc). Can anyone help me?
Theres been some threads about this. I'll post the main solutions that can cause this.
If there are movies in your iPhoto, export them and delete from iPhoto.
Move the contents of your movie folders out.
If you notice iWeb works fine, import the movies back into the movie folder one at a time. After each import, launch iWeb, if it works great, if you notice you got 3 movies in and the fourth one caused the spinning ball, its that movie causing an issue.

Mountain Lion - Spinning Rainbow Ball of Doom
Ever since I tried accessing a document from Dropbox, I have been unable to login to my main account. I've tried disabling all start-up apps after logging in under safe mode. Other accounts work, but I can only access the main one in safe mode. Pasted the console record of frozen boot on main account below. I know it's a lot, but I'm baffled. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Spinning rainbow ball when moving through a file
I'm on my macbook pro. Just got an Optoma projector. Just updated to Adobe Reader 8. When I am trying to move through a file window in Adobe, while my class is watching on the Optoma projector that is mirroring, I will click on the up or down arrows on the side of the window, and the computer will give me the spinning rainbow ball for several seconds before scrolling up or down. Is there some cache or file I need to be cleaning out to improve my computer's performance in Adobe Reader? Is it a problem with Adobe 8? or is the intervening variable that I have just started hooking up the computer to a projector? I have always had great answers posting and look forward to learning something else. Thanks.
Hi
Questions about Adobe Reader are best addressed in the Adobe Reader Forum, sponsored by Adobe. There, you'll find users who are knowledgeable about the product. Good Luck -
My macbook pro is constantly freezing with the rainbow ball of death spinning all the time. I ran Etrecheck. Any help would be much appreciated!

Regually getting spinning rainbow ball
I've had my macbook since it was released last year and in recent months, when browsing the internet, I see the spinning rainbow ball thing so opening new pages is taking a few seconds longer than normal. It doesn't happen all the time but I'd say 70% of the time.
My wireless interent connection is always perfect (I'm always within a few meters of the modem) and always shows as full connectivity.
Someone said I need to do something with one of the disks that came with the computer. I'm pretty much a novice on Apples so please bare this in mind!! ThanksWelcome to Apple Discussions!
If we could look at the websites giving you difficulty, maybe we can tell if the issue is something on the website which isn't quite compatible with your browser, or if it is likely an issue with how data is just passing over the net.
There are many reasons for slowing down, outlined in my FAQ*:

So I'm waiting (again) on Final Cut to gets its act together. How long to you usually let the ball spin before force quitting and reopening, loosing any progress since the last save/autosave?
Ha, good point. The Toshiba is my personal machine, and Windows 7 is in the mail. For what it's worth I've found Vista more stable than OSX, but I'm not looking for a flame war or anything silly like that.
At work I'm using a MacPro Octo 3.2 (late 2008) with 16gb ram and FCS2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I think the video card is nVidia, I know it has 512mb on the video card, but that's what I remember off of the top of my head. As for hard drives we've got one system drive, and internal RAID array, an external RAID array, (LaCie) and two other external hard drives, one LaCie, one WD. I'm at home right now otherwise I would look the specs up.
I seem to have troubles when I drop .motn files or use Motion Templates on my timelines. I seem to spend about as much time waiting as I spend editing when I'm perfecting my graphics. The troubles with .motn files are when I open in editor, make a change in Motion, save, and go back to Final Cut. I can spend two minutes waiting to do anything between a save in Motion and returning to FCP and being able to do something on a short (4 minute or less) timeline and a 10-15 second clip from Motion. That's with the spinning rainbow ball mouse, not the Final Cut is working mouse.
I'm thinking back to the project before the one I'm working on now, I had a 15 minute timeline with about 10 instances of one Motion template, a lower 3rd with two text fields. If I would update the template I would be waiting about 8 minutes between saving in Motion and being able to do something in Final Cut, again with the spinning rainbow ball. One in five times FCP would just crash all together, so save, then Open in Editor became a routine part of my workflow.
I'm still a student and I've had similar issues putting .motn files on timelines using the school's computers, so I don't think I have a bad Apple at work. What is a normal waiting time? -
Safari 3.1.2 bookmarks and the Spinning Beach Ball of Doom
Safari has been one pile for me. I cannot change the toolbar components - the "Customize Toolbar Link doesn't work, Bookmarks? >
that's what I see when I go to Save a Bookmark.
When I go to the Bookmark Menu Item: is what I see.
To access my Bookmarks, this:
is the only way.
as for anything Java related... KA-RASH - THE SPINNING BEACH BALL OF DOOM, and, sometimes, it just spins for the heck of it. I am not happy. Really not happy. and, ya know? You can't just drag it to the trash and reinstall. Or, can you?

Upgraded and getting spinning rainbow ball constantly
I upgraded to Firefox 3.6.15 a few days ago. I also upgraded Flash. I'm getting the spinning rainbow ball almost every time I try to do something in Firefox now—when I type something, it stops after every 10 keystrokes and spins, when I scroll down a page it pauses to think, when I click on a dialogue box or to a field.
Also, whenever I try to save or print something, the dialogue box will pop up but then instantly disappear before I'm able to click anything.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.6. My Macbook is about two and a half years old; I'm wondering if this is just related to the age of my computer. I have plenty of memory available.Welcome to Apple Discussions!

CS6 problem. When I open the Mask panel, it takes up the entire screen width and the Looks controls disappear, Also, there is a new panel below the Mask panel that seems to have no purpose that I can find. The documentation says "Mask and Look panels - The Mask panel is now placed next to the Look panel. WIth the masking and grading tools placed side-by-side, you can now work faster on the mask workflow." Is there a way to move, hide, or otherwise manipulate the panels for a custom layout? All the examples I can find on the Web show the Looks panel to the left of the Mask panel where the controls are available.
Ok, here is what I have so far. Appdelete the iWork and reinstalled. Pages and Number work, but not Keynote.
Now, I downloaded a couple apps that I need, and no matter what I did, the spinning ball came up and the download stopped till it unlocked itself. It is really frustrating because the download was not completed and whatever came through would not mount. Could this issue be the internet connection? Permission fix showed a lot of Airport issues. I will try to run permissions fix again. -
When I open the Terminal everything freezes
I'm using Snow Leopard on my MacbookPro, and from a couple of days when I open the Terminal every other app that is opened stops working, there is the constant spinning beach ball, and the log in in the Terminal doesn't happen, instead it says that the login has timed out after 300 seconds that it tries to log in.
mintleaves,
have there been any recent changes to your /etc/profile file, or to any of the .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile files in your home directory? (The changes might not have been made by you; they could have been made by e.g. a software installer.) -
My Ipad mini is not turning off with the botton neither with the cover. It is not also turning on when I open the cover. Please, what I have to do?
If the cover you bought is not a legitimate apple cover than you may be having the same issue I had.
The one I purchased has a top cover swivel, if you spin it around( meaning the top case cover)
The magnet will return to the correct spot and it will work again. It is only located at one end of the case.
Hope this might help:) -
Is there a way to open the last file I used in InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop when I open the app
I want to create a shortcut (Win7) that will automatically open the last file I used in the above apps when I open the app. Is there a command line switch like /r or /l that does that?
Thanks, your point is well taken... It would be nice, though, to have the ability to sort a "Last Used" column in iTunes and select a bunch of apps to remove in one shot.
