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.

  • "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.

  • Spinning rainbow ball

    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?

  • Macbook Pro is freezing with the spinning rainbow ball of death constantly going. Can someone review my Etrecheck and tell me what to do?

  • 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!! Thanks

  • Spinning Beach Ball when turning off Airport WiFi.  SL Issues, many!  Help!

    I performed a clean installation of Snow Leopard on my new 13 inch late 2009 MBP on release date. All of a sudden, I am getting the infamous spinning beach ball when attempting to disable my Airport wifi. It's so bad, that I am not able to gracefully restart my system. Seriously this is getting out of hand. Snow Leopard was supposed to make Leopard even more stable.
    Steps I have taken, not in any particular order.
    Verified and repaired permissions.
    Ran HW test, no issues found
    Reset PRAM
    Deleted wifi related plist files from /lib/prefs/sysconfig and rebooted;
    The only thing I can think of next is to perform and Archive and Install or....
    ...As much as I would hate to go back, Install Leopard.
    I would appreciate feedback or suggestions as what to do. Looks like 10.6.1 may be worth waiting for. Oh how I miss Tiger.

    HI,
    If you use an Airport Base Station or Airport Express, try resetting.
    If that doesn't help...
    Boot from the 10.6 disk and verify the startup disk for errors.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    Check available disk space.
    Control or right click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop. Click "Get Info". Under the General tab you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is at least 10% available disk space, 15% is better.
    If necessary, do an Archive an Install. It's the only install option available for Snow Leopard.

  • Why do I get the spinning beach ball when I try to change from Events to Photos.  How do I fix it?

    Why do I get the spinning beach ball when I try to change from Events to Photos.  How do I fix it?

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.  
    Regards
    TD

  • 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.

  • Authenication needed when moving or saving files to a folder

    I've been online searching but can't find a resolution to disabling having to authenticate when moving or saving files to any folder.
    I read something about using Terminal and tried the suggestion which was typing in
    sudo chawn -R yourshortname . Then putting in my password when prompted. It either will not type my password or not accept it.
    Can anyone help? Thanks

    You can't disable or correct it with that command. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1216618 for more information.

    I get the spinning beach ball when I open preview, it wont go away, can i somehow stop the process its trying to do?

    You can quit Preview by selecting it in Activity Monitor and then clicking on the red octagon 'Quit Process'.  That does not solve the issue of the beach ball' as such.  Perhaps. a reinstall of the OS might sole the problem.  That is simply a guess on my part.
    Ciao.

  • Spinning Beach Ball when trying to install CC

    Help, help, help me pleeeeeze? I have job to do before the end of the weekend... I'm getting desperate!
    I got the dmg file and tried to use the Creative Cloud Installer to start my free trial, but double clicking on the installer icon only produces a DLOG that says "Initializing Installer" with an empty progress bar and "Retry" and "Cancel" buttons. Neither of which is available, as the cursor turns into a spinning beach ball immediately, and nothing happens.

    Unfortunately, the fix didn't stick. When the CC app told me it needed an update last night, I downloaded the update (because it wouldn't let me run AI unless I did), opened the .dmg file. It opened the DLOG (Initiating) and then wham: spinning beach ball forever. I have already tried:
    Activity Monitor & canceled the task
    Repaired permissions
    Restarted computer
    Re-downloaded the CC app
    --no good, same outcome
    so, I...
    Canceled the task in the Activity Monitor
    Plugged in the ethernet and turned off the WIFI (which is what fixed it, finally, the FIRST time this happened
    Shut down and restarted the computer
    Ran the Cleaner program [http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html] (uninstalled *every* Adobe program on my computer)
    Re-downloaded the CC app and attempted install
    --no good, same outcome
    Frustrated out of my mind at that point, I shut off the computer and walked away. I don't know how the hell I'm ever going to get any work done! I'm sure not convinced I should buy a subscription at this point. I think I'll have to let my trial expire and just do all my free-lance work at my daytime job! Adobe won't be making any more money from me that way.

  • Spinning beach ball when quitting Logic and loading projects

    Hello,
    Whenever I load a Logic project I get the spinning beach ball. After a while, the project is loaded and it all works, but it is taken way too long to load the plugins. I'm not even talking about big projects, and I have an SSD, so it should be much faster.
    The same happens when I quit Logic. Not when I close the project, but when I actually quit Logic. The "Logic Pro" menu in the top left corner of the menu bar in OS X would light up in dark blue when I press CMD + Q, and it would stay like this for 30 seconds or so. The spinning beach ball would appear again during this time. Then it would finally quit.
    I have reinstalled OS X and reinstalled Logic Pro X. But the problem was still there. It sounds like a core audio problem, but the problem occurs no matter what my sound output is set to. It happened when the audio output was set to the built-in speakers of my Mac Pro (yes Mac Pro have that!), when it was set to the speakers of the Cinema Display (LED one) and when it was set to my RME Babyface.
    I don't think it's a Driver problem because it happened as well when I reinstalled OS X and Logic, and when I tested it on the Macs/Cinema Displays speakers, without the RME Babyface, basically without having installed any drivers or anything yet. So everything was fresh and untouched.
    This is a very weird issue. I'm wondering if someone knows what I could do next.
    My specs:
    Mid 2010 Mac Pro 12-core 2,92 GHz
    32 GB RAM
    27" LED Cinema Display
    OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks
    Logic Pro 10.1.1
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.
    Like I said, this is a complete fresh install – I installed OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 from a USB installer, and re-downloaded Logic Pro X from the App Store. That's all. That means there's no 3rd party plugins, no 3rd party drivers, nothing, just the stock OS X system.
    However, I just installed the RME Babyface drivers. But this makes no difference, as the problem was present before as well. I'm just saying that, because it appears in my EtreCheck Report which I will post an the end of this message, so you may be wondering.
    I tried to delete the preference files and such before – no change.
    Logic started normally (= no message or appeared or anything) while holding down Shift + Control, and also while holding down the Option key. The issue is still there. What would or what should it do if I hold these keys while starting? When I hold only the Control key however, it asked me if I wanted to start Logic without the Core Audio. I clicked to start without it, and then obviously everything worked.
    So here's my EtreCheck report. Everything looks normal I'd say?

    Okay, apparently there *is* a little problem. This part here:
    Problem System Launch Agents: ℹ️
        [failed]    com.apple.uhfu.ledcinemadisplayaudio.plist
    I believed this was normal because my audio output was set to the external USB audio interface when I ran the test, but I ran it again with the sound output set to the Cinema Display, and this message still appeared. When I click the Information symbol, it says:
    These are low-level parts of your operating system, usually provided by Apple, that run in the background while a user is logged in. Any failure that appears here may indicate a problem with your system.
    I can't tell if there's a link to my Logic problem, however.
    PS: I just remembered that I installed a system update for the LED Cinema Display which I downloaded from the Apple Support page. Maybe it has to do with that. It may have been an old update that was not needed.

  • Spinning rainbow wheel for long periods on File Open commands in Acrobat and Office 365 programs

    Hardware & Software:
    MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)
    77GB of free hard disk space
    8GB RAM
    Running OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2)
    Over the last few days, when I try to execute a File Open command from Adobe Acrobat or Office 365 programs (even from an innocuous location such as Documents), I get the spinning rainbow wheel for long periods of time (10 seconds to minutes) before I am able to select a file to open. I copied messages from Console after a File Open command for each of Adobe Acrobat and Excel (the selected location was Documents), given below:

    Can anyone give me an idea of what these messages mean and how I can solve this problem?
    If I'm not in the correct Community for this question, could someone kindly tell me where I should re-post?
    Thanks.

    Yes; I have previously connected to an iMac at this location using File Sharing.  However, in my attempts to solve this problem last week, I had already unchecked File Sharing in System Preferences.  Tonight, I also deleted the folder from the window in the File Sharing System Preferences page, then rebooted.  The problem still persists.
    I try not open files across a server line, i.e., I try always to copy a file to the local computer and open it there.  I may have gotten careless and tried to open a file from the Windows server with either or both Acrobat and Office 365.  Although this was an SMB share, is it possible that these programs are now trying to connect to the Windows server on a File Open?
    I had about decided to quit chasing this problem; we spend about two weeks every two months at this Boston location, and I'll be returning to my Florida home this weekend.  So I decided I would see what the situation was when I returned to my native habitat, although I may be chasing this problem again in our trip to the Boston area in April.
    The other thing I wondered (I guess I can't quite let it go), is whether there is a command line in Terminal that would kill all AFP shares.
    In any case, thanks for your help; you're very knowledgeable.

  • Spinning Beach Ball When Clicking Different Points on Timeline

    I'm sure this is a basic one, but can't find answers anywhere. I'm using FCP 4.5 HD on a new G5. Never had this issue before, but it randomly slows down to the spinning beach ball and white X in the viewer Canvas when I click on various points in my timeline.
    I have over a gig free of memory, and my Activity Monitor shows it's all FCP when it slows to the spinning ball...
    I'm under deadline and this is very time consuming. Any suggestions out there?
    THANKS.

    First - please click the reply button on the actual post you're replying to. It's hard to guess the relevance of your answer when you keep replying to yourself.
    Please confirm the following:
    Easy Setup Setting :
    Timeline Setting :
    (Ctrl+Zero)
    Codec :
    (Right or Ctrl-Click a clip in the browser and report what the 'Compressor' line states)
    Sorry if you know all this - it just saves time if you don't.
    I think it's possible this could be a corrupted render file so I suggest you trash your render files :
    Tools > Render Manager
    After trashing, render again if you need to, and see whether there's an improvement.
