Swirling circle (Firefox activity indicator) never stops spinning in Yahoo Mail

Swirling circle next to cursor always spinning. Occurs after clicking on any folder while in Yahoo Mail Classic. New computer with Windows 7.

Hello Chett.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
How many accounts do you have and what type are they (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
Do you have any Mail plug-ins installed? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • In Yahoo Mail: Windows 7 "swirling circle" next to cursor never stops.

    Using Yahoo Mail Classic. After sign-in, upon clicking on any folder (Inbox, Drafts etc) cursor is accompanied by the Windows 7 "swirling circle" wherever it is placed on the page. EXCEPT when cursor is placed on a LINK. "Swirling circle" then disappears from cursor until it is moved off the link when it then reappears. Can SOMETIMES cure this by clicking on another folder, then return to "Inbox." Also notice that Firefox loads a website much slower than IE8. This happens MOST of the time, NOT always. Many thanks for your help!

    First, you are running Firefox 7, which is EXTREMELY Old and Insecure, which not only leaves you open to many known bugs, but to dozens of known security issues which can be exploited to compromise your personal data.
    So, your first step is going to be to upgrade to Firefox 15.0.1. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].
    After that, does Yahoo Work properly?

  • Hard disk never stops spinning

    When I connect my iPod to my Macbook the hard disk never stops spinning. When I connect it to my PC spinning stops after sync with iTunes and just turn on when I access the iPod.
    Does anybody know how to turn that off?
    Or is Spotlight scaning the data on the disk?

    Or is Spotlight scaning the data on the disk?
    Even it is doing the scaning, it could have been completed and stop. Have you tried to do the Restore for your iPod?

  • Spinning process indicator never stops

    So, I just purchased an iPhone 5C on a Verizon plan. All seems to be set up and working, but I notice that whenever I turn wake the phone, on the main screen beside the WiFi indicator there's what I assume is a spinning process indicator that never stops no matter how long the phone's on. If I return to the main screen from doing anything else, that processor (much like the WiFi "Looking for Networks" process on a Mac) continues to run. Is there a way to keep WiFi but shut this process off?

    Hey there Gregory Frost,
    It sounds like your Wi-Fi indicator is constantly spinning as long as the phone is on. I would use the following troubleshooting from this article to help troubleshoot the Wi-Fi connetion on the phone:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Seagate Barracuda never stops spinning...is this normal for SG?

    hello all,
    I recently purchased a Seagate Barracuda ST3500320AS 500gb SATA drive to use as a backup in my Sonnet external bay. From the moment I mounted the drive, the thing will not stop spinning. Even when I unmount the drive, it spins like it's writing a years worth of data. I have two WD's in my tower, and the other drives in my external bay are Maxtors (which I bought prior to the '06 Seagate buyout).
    This is my first Seagate, so I am just curious to see what other's had to say, before I went and got an RMA.
    -cheers

    It's normal for a drive to be "spinning" constantly. It is not normal if you constantly hear the sound of the drive being accessed or written to.
    Try swapping locations with one of your other drives. Maybe there is a problem with that particular bay.

  • My firefox locks up routinely on Gmail and Yahoo mail sites. It opens normally, and when I go to the login page, it locks ... in both instances.

    My software locks up while I have Firefox open and am seeking to login to either gmail or yahoo mail.
    It works well until I get to the login screen ... and then locks and will not allow any keyboard or mouse work ... except that I can get to my taskmaster and close Firefox and then everything works.
    Today, for the first time, it did it on another site.
    Is there a 64bit iteration?
    I am using the 32 bit Firefox ... the latest version (This all began with this upgrade) on a 64 bit/Windows 7.
    Thanks. rg

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

  • Firefox 13.0.1 appears incompatible with Yahoo mail (process hog)

    I have 2 MacBook pro 17s. Yesterday I upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1 in both of them. The newest one (about 2 months old) became extremely sluggish (20 minutes to send an email and took forever (several minutes) to switch between Firefox tabs). The old MacBook (2009 model) worked fine. Both have current versions of OSX Lion. I use Yahoo mail on the new machine but not on the old one and I realized that everything was fine until I opened Yahoo mail. Then the new machine just couldn't really do anything in Firefox. The dashboard would show Firefox running at about 98 or 99%.
    Bottom Line: I installed Firefox 12.0 on the new machine and the problem immediatly disappeared. The machine ran fine and Yahoo mail & all Firefox tabs were fully functional & speedy.
    Just to double check I installed Firefox 13.0.1 again and the machine stalled out as soon as I opened Yahoo mail. I went back to 12.0 & everything is fine.
    I had worked w/ Apple tech support for many hours on 3 different occasions and pretty much anything that could be reset/ restarted was (no help). So I'm reasonably sure that this is a Firefox 13.0.1 problem.
    Safari worked fine during all of my woes.

    This can be caused by corrupted cookies.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/fix-login-issues-on-websites-requrie-passwords
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file <i>cookies.sqlite</i> that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • Firefox shows wrong clickable email address on yahoo mail sign in field when I type first letter. explorer gets it right.age

    When I type the first letters into the sign in box on the Yahoo Mail sign in page via my latest edition Firefox browser, (on Windows Vista) my clickable Hotmail address shows in the drop down box instead of my Yahoo address, (Both begin with the same word.) so I then need to always type in my correct Yahoo address to sign in. Internet Explorer gets it right, making me think it's a browser issue.
    I've tried the settings in Yahoo, and everything in Firefox Tools/Options I can think of. Thanks for any help!

    *Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    *Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    *Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • Firefox giving me network connection error in yahoo mail

    I am getting this message from yahoo mail when I use Firefox my regular browser. I went back to an old version of IE and I did not get the error message. I cleared out some stuff earlier I was wondering if it was connected to it.

    Maybe it was cached web content that may have been cleared. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption#w_connection-settings-dialog]
    Are there preferences in yahoo that store network connection? Or you can check the Firefox preferences for how it connects to the internet.

  • BlackBerry problem is stopping my BT Yahoo mail from working

    Since the problems started with BB yesterday I have not been able to receive email using my BT Yahoo mail account. When I try I get this error message -
    Server is busy. Another POP session may be active. Please try again later.
    I am very frustrated that I can't access my emails and would like to know when this problem will be sorted out. I am assuming that BB is the other active session and that it is causing the problem.

  • Left fan never stops spinning

    When I bought my MBP two months ago everything was fine. The fan used to work for a couple of minutes and than to stop, unless the processor was too hot. And than something went wrong. It works non-stop. And the CPU temperature is around 100 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius).
    What should I do? Could it be any software issue?

    Well. Mine is working at 2000 rpm... Your answer makes me feel anxiety-free, somehow.
    However, why wasn't it that way in the very beginning? I liked it being so quiet...

  • I just updated to Firefox 9.0.1 and when using Yahoo mail I can no longer send an SMS. What happened?

    Selecting the drop down arrow displays the SMS option. Clicking on it does not show any activation. Has always worked before.

    Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem ---- you have both installed. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

  • Firefox is locking me out of BT.yahoo mail when I try to log in

    As indicated, when I use FF to log into my email address I get an error message, as follows:
    "This Connection is Untrusted
    You have asked Firefox to connect securely to login.yahoo.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
    Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
    What Should I Do?
    If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.”
    Does not happen if I use IE .............. however, I hate IE

    hello,
    first please make sure that the date, time & timezone are set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
    what is the''' error code''' shown under technical details on the error page?
    in case the error code equals sec_error_unknown_issuer, please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page & inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
    *which '''issuer information '''does the certificate contain?
