Upgraded to latest version, get spinning wheel of death
So I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and now when I open it I just get the spinning wheel of death. Need to force close the app. Deleted it from the machine and reinstalled fresh copy, no dice. Searched the Internet, but cannot find an older version of iTunes to reinstall.
What do I do to get it working again?

Are you guys saying it is better to have a MAC OS Extended formatted drive instead of a MAC OS Extended (Journalled) Drive?
Is your drive formatted for Mac OS Extended Journaled and you're still having a 30 second delay before recording? I've never encountered anyone with that prob on a mac formatted drive. Many will recommend to format an external used for audio with Mac OS Extended, but with either Mac format you shouldn't be having this delay.
Also, make sure to go to System Prefs->Energy Saver, and untick the box that says 'put hard drives to sleep when possible.'
Good Luck!

've just upgraded to latest version of Firefox 4 and my Mac is only OSX.10.4.11 and now it won't open. How do I downgrade and get old Firefox back. Don't want to lose all my bookmarks. Why was I able to install in the first place. Very frustrated!!
You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com -
Hello, can't get my mac to upgrade to latest versions of quicktime, itunes or any other os
Hello, can't get my mac to upgrade to latest versions of quicktime, itunes or any other os
The latest OS that you can run is 10.5.8. That is as far as Power Mac machines can go.
The latest Quicktime, iTunes, etc., must be both OS X 10.5.8 AND Power Mac (PPC) compatible.
This is the last OS update for your machine:

iTunes 10.6.3 requires OS X 10.5.8 and is the last update for iTunes on a PPC machine:

when starting imovie I get an error missing quicktime components. To solve the problem I have upgraded to latest version but it didn't help. I want to either solve this problem or get a refund for the useless upgrade.
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
iMovie does not, AFAIK, use QT 10. -
My Safari is not working right. It often stalls and I get the "colored spinning wheel of Death". I send reports to Apple, but I never get any response or helpful info. What do I do to get Safari working correctly on my MacBook laptop?
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Iphone 5S issue after upgrade to latest version 8.1.2
hi,
recently i upgrade my phone to latest version 8.1.2 , brought me 2 new issue
1) siri - sometimes can't awake when using speak command " hey siri " in charging mode
2) battery stability - Battery start behave strange after > 35% , can drain to 19 or less in a seconds, previous version able to sustain until 3% before the device ready to switch off, now the device dead in 19~10% force device to shut off , when put the charging cable to phone turn on with battery meter approximately 30% >
i have this issue quite sometimes after upgrade to latest version
3) app crash- the devices sometimes crash, quit the app or freeze but this rarely happen
hope can come out some version to fix above matters, which can be such annoying especially the second issue as highlighted.
thankRESOLVED - I can't believe it, but I have actually figured this out.
Getting frustrated with going in circles, I decided to dig into security options. First off, I opened Windows' Properties for the start-up icon for InDesign. Right off, I noticed under the Compatibility tab that InDesign was set to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3). This did not seem right, so I turned off the option to run in Compatibility Mode and re-started up InDesign. Low and behold, the option Window | Mini Bridge was now displayed! And it worked!
Sorry to have bothered you gentlemen with this problem. I really appreciate your assistance!

In Word I constantly get the spinning wheel of death, wait a few seconds and then go again. I have tried force quit several times, restarting the IMac etc. Waited one day, nothing seems to work. What to try next?
Please post on Microsoft's Office for Mac Product Forums

This is a follow up to my message sent around 1529GMT where very time I started Firefox, it would show the message "Upgrade to latest version. So I did - every day for last four days - but the Upgrade message would still be there. Suddenly, today from 1600-ish GMT the problem has disappeared. Has someone changed something somewhere ?
this is total bullshit. so frustrated with this nonsense.

Having problem with appletv iTunes Radio. Music stops, get spinning wheel, never restarts.
Having problem with appletv iTunes Radio. Music stops, get spinning wheel, never restarts. If I switch to another station it plays immediately, but it too sometimes stops for the same reason. Wait for 10 minutes for it to restart, then switch stations again. I've tested my download speed when it happens it's fine.
What was the connection speed when you tested
Make sure DNS is set to automatic
Reboot ATV and router
If on wifi try ethernet -

While dragging 3000 pictures to trash, I accidently released them on desktop. Now, I just get spinning wheel and everything is frozen. Using OS 10.6.8.
What can I do??See my post in the link below to see how to remove the images from a straight command line startup. The instructions are to remove JPEG images, which I'm assuming is the case here.

w/ this latest version, getting MANY "the connection was reset" pages, plus VERY VERY VERY slow loading. I'm running Windows 7 on a new Dell. What is up w/ that?
I don't know how else to phrase that. I'm a pretty good user, but after defragging, backing up, and getting rid of a bunch of files that "may" slow down performance of firefox, the fact is, "the connection was reset" comes up five or six times a day--AND the browser is going slow as molasses. I haven't had this much trouble since before I got my new dell.hello whatagem123, it is never a good idea to stick with outdated versions of firefox just for the sake of addons, as this will put the integrity of your system and your the personal data on it at risk - there are various [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html known security vulnerabilities (some of them highly critical)] that were fixed in later versions!
so please [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] & [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ update your plugins] (your java plugin has security vulnerabilities that are actively and widely exploited on the web).
afterwards i'd recommend resetting firefox - this will keep your bookmarks and passwords but will get rid of most other customizations. this might well fix both the issues you've described in your question...

I have been transfeing my DVD footage to I movie using handbreak and the spinning wheel of death has arrived and locked up I movie as I tried to import footage. The message says, "Optimizing movies, processing event DVD" but I can't get out of it.
Yes I held them down till the apple logo appears, then spinning wheel and repeated boot up process. I only knew it was going round in circles because the charging sound kept repeating every so many seconds.
I am downloading iOS.5.0.1 now to do a complete factory restore. I hope this works. I have been looking online for hours for fixes and I have very little batter on it as its been spinning for hours now.
Why do things like this happen? I am sat there watching tv and one minute the settings folder is there then its not! How does that happen? It just disappear? I hadn't moved it to another folder or deleted it, it just.... went! -

How can I fix the spinning wheel of death when trying to open the desktop /screensaver icon in system preferences?
