Spinning wheel keeps coming up

My laptop ran out of battery yesterday and when I charged it and turned it on it's now been constantly freezing and the spinning wheel coming up. I force quit all programmes and restarted - didn't work. Then I did a safe boot but that didn't work either. I then emptied cache on safari but that hasn't worked and also have checked space on my HD and have plenty left so I'm very confused what's gone wrong, can anyone please help with this?

MacBook Pro Os X Yosemite version 10.10

Ran EtreCheck and this is what came up, does that help knowing the problem with my mac?

  • Why does multi-colored spin wheel keep coming up and computer is unresponsive?

    I have a macbook pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB.
    When I am on my user account and on safari and doing other things, the multi colored spin wheel always comes up usually every 20 seconds or so and my computer becomes very sluggish or unresponsive.
    Also, when that wheel comes up, my mac makes a faint loading, clicking noise every 4 or 5 seconds.
    If I switch to a "test" user account on my mac, everything works fine.
    Any suggestions??
    Bought this computer in May 2010

    That is the "Wait cursor". This indicates that computer is busy performing a task and it takes a while.
    To resolve the issue follow the suggestions in this article including "Repair Disk".

  • The color wheel keeps coming up...do I need to defrag?

    the color wheel keeps coming up...do I need to defrag?

    Well I went to the Tools/options/and general section & clicked on the restore default for the home page. However I am still having the same issue.

  • My MacbookPro has frozen up.  It is not responding.  restart.  Tle spinning wheel keeps turning.  What to do?

    Am not able to do anything: log off, shut down, bring up console window, etc.  Pressing power on/off button has no effect.  The spinning wheel keeps spinning. 

    Insert your OS installer disk. Then hold down the power button until it shuts off. Then press the power button and hold down the 'c' key so it boots to the installer disk. From the Utilities menu select Disk Utility. Then select your hard drive and then select Repair Disk.

  • My iPod touch is frozen and apple screen & spinning wheel keep appearing

    Hi I really need help,
    I was updating an application on my iPod when suddenly it shut down because the battery was too low.
    Then I tried to turn it on again but these apple screen and spinning wheel screen keep appearing until now.
    I've tried pressing and holding the home & sleep/wake button at the same time several times, and mostly it didn't work.

    First, charge the battery thouroughly.
    Then, if you're still having a problem, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Mail is not responding and the spinning wheel keeps spinning?

    I am experiencing a problem with mail hanging up when trying to open it on my iMac G5. Force quitting and turning off the computer did not help. The spinning wheel just keeps spinning. My wife has a separate user account on the same computer and her mail works fine. My mail account at mac/me.com is fine. Also, mail works OK on my laptop. A previous entry describing a similar problem by Edz says he got his mail to work but did not say how. I can only hope there is a simple solution to restore mail.

    Hi Grebus, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Quit Mail...
    First I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

  • *PLEASE HELP* Spinning beachball keeps coming up-

    Hey guys, even though I've got 500mb of RAM available for OSX to use the spinning beachball comes up every now and again and when it appears I’m unable to do anything other than move my mouse. I’m running latest version of OSX Mavericks.
    Thanks!

  • Spinning wheel... Please read and help!

    I know people have posted questions about this but I haven't seen an answer for my exact question which is: is there anyway to get my spinning wheel to go away out of safari without shutting down safari completely? I have a nursing final open in safari that I've attempted to take literally atleast ten times and this spinning wheel keeps coming up when I have a few questions left. I'm exhausted and just need to finish this test, as it's due soon and I physically haven't been able to do it because this stupid wheel keeps coming up. Also the cursor comes up with any other application so it's not that my computer is frozen, just doesn't wanna work with safari. Please please please someone help. I need to finish this and I need to go to sleep!

    Sorry that you did not get a subtantial reply to your
    problem, as time was apparenty of the essence...
    Much more information would have been required from
    you about your OS X version, computer model specs,
    and also a cure would likely have required you to shut
    down and restart your computer.
    At least perhaps start in SafeBoot, and run repair disk
    permissions in Disk Utility. Check some system logs,
    and also look into Activity Monitor (probably before
    a restart) to see where the system resources were
    being used; & if anything running could account for
    the problems you've faced in using Safari.
    To see what may be behind issues in your running
    system you can get & use this free utility from a
    trusted developer to get a readout of your OS X
    and the results of this can be posted back here in
    a discussion area as an image, to help diagnose.
    If your computer is running OS X 10.7 or later...
    this utility can get information that can help see
    what is going on in a running system:

    few possible problems that I'd check before doing so.
    If the browser is not up to date, I'd use another;
    most sites can be accessed by several of them.}
    However the problem likely is based a combination
    of things going on in the Mac OS X; perhaps you
    have installed some software from dubious source
    and it may be running in the background, or may
    have co-opted Safari. Some can mess up browsers.
    The generic name of the malady is 'adware' so if
    you downloaded applications from less than good
    sites, or clicked on a 'free' software offer, you may
    have acquired some kind of adware corruption.

    So, anyway, there are several things that can cause an
    issue of only one open application lagging, it could be
    you had limited system resources, too full a hard disk
    drive with little free space (for virtual memory swap file)
    or not enough installed chip RAM; or some other issue
    in the system that a restart may have helped. Or if you
    accidentally installed a malware or adware bug, then
    almost any of these things would require a restart, etc.

    I have a MacBook Pro that will not boot up. The apple symbol is there and the spinning wheel keeps spinning. Any idea how I can fix this?

    Reinstall OS X.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    OR
    Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

    I am using OS X 10.8.4 and the dreaded spinning wheel keeps appearing everytime I try to do ANYTHING, including type a word or two in a new email or read an existing email.

    As far as the previous situation, of my lost mail and folder, etc., I was told that if I didn't have a backup from before I did the upgrade to OS X 10.8.4, there was nothing more that could be done.  I left the discussion because "there was nothing that could be done."
    After that, at the recommendation of one of these dedicated volunteers, I connected my external hard drive and now I guess Time Machine is doing periodic updates.
    On this situation, the headache of the SBBOD is with Mail.  But...since I typed that question, yesterday, I am finding that I have a similar problem with iPhoto.  It is very slow to go from one step to another, with the appearance of the SBBOD.
    The ANYTHING I was referring to was anything I try to do in Mail.  It's click on something, wait for the spinning to stop.  Type a couple of letters or words and wait for the spinning to stop.  I tried this with Safari closed and it was still a problem.
    All of this started yesterday.  It wasn't a problem before that.
    I did look at old posts of the same problem and tried a couple of solutions, one being move the "Mail" folder out of the Library after doing the Go, Go to folder, etc. and that didn't work.

  • New Adobe InDesign CC (2014) crashes continuously after installation, shows spinning wheel. Have re-installed 3 times now, same thing.

    We had to install the new InDesign CC (2014). InDesign CC (2014) crashes continuously. We have un-installed the app twice and re-installed again.
    We have tried to install the previous version of InDesign CC but that is no longer (conveniently for you, nightmare for us) available.
    Everytime we launch the new InDesign CC (2014) to actually do some work, this crashes. It has cost us 4 hours work since this morning!
    This seems to be an issue a lot of people are having.
    An update for any app should happen without any glitsches, otherwise your product is not fit for purpose.
    We are all paying monthly fees to Adobe to be able to do our day-to-day work.
    For that we expect to be able to use these tools without loosing time and money every time you are updating software.

    We were not able to get any crash reports - that option not available; the spinning wheel was coming on and off, but nothing would happen and nothing could be done, but re-start machines.
    Have cleared prefs files since, this a few times. Based on suggestions found from others having the same problems.
    After clearing prefs files, worked awhile , then the same happened.
    Hope this helps.

  • MacPro is slow and spinning wheel shows up every other click

    It's been a couple of days that my MacPro is running slow and the spinning wheel keeps showing up.
    is there any way to fix this or should I take it to Apple store?

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, 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.
