VMWare Fusion - Beach Ball City
I am an experienced VMWare user and am having the hardest time with Windows 7 running in VMWare fusion. My physical device runs more than fine, has more than enough memory and should by rights, run a Windows 7 VM with ease. I am seeing nothing but beach ball and having extremely slow responses no matter what I do. I initially migrated a Windows 7 VM that was hosted on a Win7 Dell Laptop under VMWare Workstation 7. Under that platform, the VM ran very well, almost to the point that I had confusion as to which instance was the VM. After migration, I did a remove/reinstall of VMWare tools, tried using more/less memory (originally configured with 2g of memory) Did everything I could to optimize performance. The Virtual Drive was only 40g. I even tried building a Win7 VM from scratch on VMware fusion, but still get the same results.
I know plenty about VMWare on Windows, but not Mac. I have been a Mac user for a very long time and am a career System Designer for a very large Aerospace company in the US. I have seen it all and typically can figure things out, but this one is just annoying me to no end. I want to have them both on one device and have each perform like they should with today's hardware. I know I can do the Hackintosh thing, but that isn't legit and while a Win7 image can be loaded on just about anything, the Mac OS X disk isn't that forgiving.
I just want to know some pointers, because I have run a Win7 x64 VM on my Dell, that has a single Dual-core proc and 4g of memory without performance problems but try to run the same VM on my Macbook (more proc and twice the RAM) and it just hangs. Something has to be set wrong somewhere and I just don't know VMware Fusion well enough to tell.
VMware Fusion Community wasn't any help?

http://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2009/01/windows-7-on-a-mac-with-vmware-fusion -some-quick-tips.html
Are you using v. 3? maybe try Parallels 6 and see the difference?
What are you running in Windows?
Did you install Windows on its own partition running native, and then enable and activate in Fusion? how does it run natively on MBP? and what are the specs of MBP?
Oh, and as to beach ball issue, run disk repair from another hard drive or your OS X DVD; or invest in 3rd party. It actually could be an issue with HFS file system and directory, so rule that out.
If it happens only with or in VM, well I assume your clean install of Windows, and you would CHKDSK if that was an issue.

Mac Slow: I am getting beach ball all the time
Hello Guys,
I hope you can help me with this issue. Since last week, the beach ball appears frequently, creating some lag (2-10 secs) in my actions i.e. when i want to type in Safari, when I want to write an email, when I open finder, etc. As you can imagine this situation is very annoying given the week before everything was fine.
I haven't installed any new software however updates run automatically.
I decided to do my first backup (yes, shame on me for not do it before), it took almost 3 days to finish!.
I already have run "Disk Utility" and it said "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK."
Please find attached my etrecheck report that could give you more information. Any suggestion is really appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
Julio

I have a fairly new (purchased in July or August) Macbook air running 10.8.5. I have run the etrecheck program - pasted below.
I get the beach ball several times a day. Most often I get it when I'm running my external monitor - if I unplug, it will often go away.
But sometimes it freezes up when I am not plugged in to anything - including the power cord. I thought perhaps it was Chrome, so now I'm running safari instead. Hasn't happened since then - but it's only been about an hour. Please help!

Mac beach balls for 30 sec before printing
When printing form any mac program ie) word, textEdit, safari the program locks up, beach balls, and uses about 90% CPU. Only after it does this for *about 30 seconds* the print dialogue box comes up and asks me to confirm the print, and then prints fine.
Any ideas on how to solve this? Might using the repair option on the system disks help?
A few other notes:
1. Can print fine on the Windows side via VMware fusion
2. I have run repair permissions and disk repair in disk utility
3. Running the most recent version of Mac OSX Leopard
4. The printer is hooked into the Mac via ethernetdito 2.0 wrote:
When you say "Reset the printing system and add the printer queue again" do you simply mean remove the printer form System preferences and then re-add it again?
No. To reset the printing system, you open Print & Fax and move the mouse over the Printers list. Then, hold down the Control key and click. The 'Reset printing system' pop-up will appear. Click it to reset.
This will delete all your printer queues so you will need to add the queue/s again, but your driver software will still be on your Mac so you will not have to install the driver again.

A lot of beach balls - Mac Pro 5,1 Mid 2010
Problem description:
Hi, I have a MacPro 5,1 Mid 2010.
6 core 3.33ghz
24GB OWC RAM 1333mhz
OWC Mercury PRO 256GB SSD installed in 2nd optical slot w/ Yosemite
OWC Mercury Electra 480Gb for Bootcamp in slot 1
3 ST31000340NS 1TB, 2 in Raid 0; all HFS journaled.
Unchecked “Put hard disks to sleep”
I constantly have the beach balls in lots of apps, seems like the computer is freezing frequently. I'm posting the logs that come out most often, and also a full startup log.
I was upgrading from an Imac 27” i5 mid 2011 that was noticeably faster… Which is strange considering the power of this Mac Pro.
Any ideas? I read a lot on apple support forums so I’m also including etrecheck log
Thank you!
**Update** I think I found part of the problem; I removed all my fonts from Suitcase Fusion 5; It seems like my suitcase fonts are corrupting Font Book (threw a lot of font errors in console), but I need those fonts for graphic desing; Is there another way of adding them than copying the SuitcaseFusion.Fontvault File?
Though I still have occasionnal beach balls from clicking and opening apps.

Thanks for your help!You have turned OFF GateKeeper, thereby eliminating the protection built into Mac OS X from non-signed downloads. Legitimate downloads from registered developers are signed with their registered signatures, and stuff that is not signed should not be downloaded onto a system you appear to be using for business purposes.
So many entries in the Hosts file sometimes indicates the installation of pirated software. You have a number of very invasive and quite questionable items kernel extensions installed on your Mac, and do not appear to be keeping them up-to-date.
Why do you need aftermarket key mapping software Karabiner? Mac OS X has key mapping built in.
If you insist on using third-party VPN, you should use one that is up-to-date. I expect some of the XPC errors are coming because of your antique VPN software.

So my quick assessment is that your Mac is unstable because you have added too much Junk. [Junk is defined as stuff that is perfectly good, but you do not happen to need right now, such as the things in your attic.] Clean out the attic and your Mac will run more smoothly. -
Vmware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX Released Today
I don't know if this is the correct forum; if it's not, please pardon me.
VMware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX has been released today. This product, while the developers admit has some bugs in it, promises to make virtual computing a whole lot easier and would eliminate for many (not all) the need to use Boot Camp. The link for this new program is http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/
On that page you can find links for support and forums as well.
If you need a free virtual appliance to use with Fusion, then use this link http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/
Currently, there is no charge for using the BETA program. The VMWare folks are asking people to give feedback on their use of the product.
This is what we've been waiting for to purchase our new MAC. I can say without a doubt that from my own experience with Linux boxes, VMWare is the best virtual solution on the market. It's easy to configure and supports a wide variety of hardware and OSs. I can even move the virtual machines I created under Linux to my new MAC when I receive it.
The time has finally dawned for me to retire the last remaining pc towerbox in my home. My wife and I recently expunged one of those machines earlier this week and are eagerly looking forward to getting rid of the other one.
We am really looking forward to purchasing the new Mac Pro. What makes it especially appealing for us is it's scalability and the fact that we can use our current hardware,including our Kensington Track Ball mouse and current monitor with it, although we are taking a serious look at a new Apple Display as well.
Many thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this post. I am looking forward to joining and my wife is looking forward to rejoining the MAC community.You might try the VMWare beta forum:

Print error - there was a problem connecting to the server - spinning beach ball
This has happened pre-yosemite and since. It used to only happen at home but now also happens at work. Every time I try to print, I get a spinning beach ball and a long delay until I get an error message saying there was a problem connecting to the server. At home, after clicking OK, I get a second spinning beach ball session with same error. Once I click OK second time, I get print window and can print. At work, it's only one session of spinning beach ball. The office problem occurred after upgrading to yosemite. I've deleted and added the printers without resolution. I've repaired permissions. The home problem has been going on for at least a year, probably a couple. Using a macbook pro.
There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be very hard to resolve without wiping your account clean of everything except documents as a last resort. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
Step 1
If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. Known offenders are "1Password" and "Adobe Resource Synchronizer."
Step 2
If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
Step 3
In the Finder, press the key combination command-K or select
Go ▹ Go to Server...
from the menu bar. In the upper right corner of the window that opens is a Recent Servers popup menu represented by a clock icon. From that menu, select
Clear Recent Servers…
and confirm. Test.
Step 4
Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use. If in doubt, delete them all and add back the ones you want.
Step 5
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing command-C:
~/Library/PDF Services
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
Step 6
Open the folder
~/Library/Preferences
as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
Log out and back in again, and test.
Step 7
Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, bookmarks in the Preview application, and PDF files created by Adobe Acrobat with embedded scripts.
Try rebuilding the iPhoto library, if applicable.
Step 8
Resources such as images or sounds stored on the server may have been added to various applications. Examples would be pictures added to Contacts and custom sounds added to Mail. The range of possibilites here is practically infinite, so I can't be more specific. You might get a hint by launching the Console application and looking for error messages that appear at the same time as the alerts.
Step 9
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. Start up in safe mode. Test. After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Step 10
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Rght-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The application Directory Utility will open.
In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and/Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 11
Open the following file as you did in the last step:
/etc/auto_master
It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window. -
Spinning Beach Ball - Slow Running System
My wife has had a very annoying problem on her MDD 1.25 for some time now and we're finally irritated enough to post. All too often while running Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS2, Quark Xpress 6 and Suitcase fusion this machine gets the beach ball. This happens when she may be opening a document, moving a document, applying an action, or anything within those apps at that matter. Sometimes it's so bad that she has to force quit and relaunch a particular app. Even opening the HDD sometimes seems like a chore as it sits and thinks. Things just don't seem to be as snappy as they once were. Suggestions?
I've maxed it out on memory and have run Disc Utility, Onyx, and Diskwarrior. Could it be Suitcase bogging this machine down? Other?
Thanks for any help,
TonyHi,
To determine if the amount of RAM is the issue, bring up Terminal in /Applications/Utilities, or your favorite terminal emulator, and type top at the command prompt. You'll be able to monitor the amount of allocated and unallocated RAM available on the system as each application is brought up and used.
I've seen similar beach balls from other apps, mainly Microsoft Office apps such as Word and Excel. What's probably going on is that the load average is going up to maybe 2-4, instead of 1-1.8, as the app write's it's temp files. If you try to do something else, while waiting for the app to finish, the OSX window manager then displays a spinning beach ball to you to indicate that the system is currently busy processing the given app at the top of the stack. Hence you wait.
As a rule, before getting new hardware, I'd check each of the software vendor's websites for updates to the software you are running on OSX. There may be an update from Adobe (for example) that indeed solved a particular issue with that application.
Then check for updates from Apple on the OSX version you're running on that particular machine. If it's already at the latest version of Tiger, then of course you're good to go on that front.
Finally, I agree with an earlier post, the amount of free space on the drive that the app will "work" in is critical. Especially apps such as PhotoShop, since they will create rather large temp files while they process a given file. So, if all you have is one hard drive with only 4-5Gb free out of 160Gb (say), then a second drive is called for. You will be able, via top to see PhotoShop swapping out to disk as it works on a file if you don't have enough RAM. Try to shoot for 20-30% free space, at a minimum, on the drive the main apps you use will work on, so that you have enough room for the temp files they will create.

After downloading iTunes 11.3 for Mac, I get the eternal beach ball
I get that beach ball and I can't do anything else. I restarted several times but no change. I connected iPod but it doesn't even appear. I have Mac OS-X 10.9.4. I need help! How do uninstall 11.3 and go back to the older version?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Dreamweaver opens then I get the beach ball.
Hi there,
Dreamweaver CS6 on a Mac, Dual-Core Intel Xeon running Lion, 10.7.5.
I'm an occasional user of Dreamweaver CS6. In the last few days it has been playing up. DW will open the main screen with the welcome window and then show the beach ball.
If you wait long enough (30 minutes or more) the last job will open - but you can't touch it or do anything with it.
The force quit applications window shows DW alternating between responding and NOT responding. But at no point can I access anything with the mouse.
Following in the steps of others on the forum with a similar problem I looked in the console and found the following message:
23/10/2012 09:33:57.577 Dreamweaver: CFURLCreateWithString was passed this invalid URL string: '/System/Library/Frameworks/' (a file system path instead of an URL string). The URL created will not work with most file URL functions. CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath or CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPathRelativeToBase should be used instead.
I have re-installed so many times now that I am certain this is of no benefit.
And I have created a new user account as suggested by Adobe and DW works fine there - then went back to my admin account.
For me the short cut is to boot up with shift-key held down which allows DW to open fully and work fine.
After doing this yesterday DW was fine, but today I open DW and get the beach ball again.
Clearly something is not right but I am at a total loss as to whether its a DW problem or and OSX problem.
Being an intermittent user of DW this is the first time I have had a problem with it.
I would therefore be most greatful if anyone can throw and envelope of light on this saga.
Thanks
Keith
Message was edited by: magicnumbersHi Jon,
Thanks for your suggestion, although I haven't tried it I will keep a note of it just in case.
The reason I didn't try it is because not long after getting this issue with DW I noticed that some things weren't displaying with the usual fonts in Safari.
It would seem that somehow I have turned off some crucial fonts in Suitcase Fusion 4.
Having turned all local fonts back on again I have not experience the beach ball with DW.
But if it does happen I'll try your suggestion straight away.
Thanks very much for your time.

Yosemite slow, Beach ball always spinning when changing windows, doing activities
After upgrading to Yosemite the finder is very slow, when switching programs or selecting items get the spinning beach ball all the time. Today when using Excel when delete a cell would get spinning beach ball for a few seconds. On activity monitor seems to be seeing Kernel_task frequently and once in awhile WindowServer. Kernel_task is allows getting to top on activity monitor. Any help would be appreciated.
here is the info from EtreCheck. I have 2 portables which are running fine. The difference is I have parallels and crash plan installed which are not on the other machines.
Problem description:

Latley when sometimes roaming around friends "MySpace" page i sometimes get the spinning beachballs and have to force quit because it will be sitting there at least 5 minutes or more if i let it. I dont run any other applications other than Safari. I do use PS Elements and iTunes but not at the same time? Im not too sure on what else it can be? I dont know if im able to clean out my MacMini or something? Ive been planning on upgradding the RAM from 1G to 2G but dont have an Apple store in my city. The closes one is about 4hrs away in Houston where my sister lives and im not too sure on when ill be headed up there to have free time? I just wanted to know what i can do on my end to see if i have a problem with the Mac or what? Specs are in the signature. Thanks for any help!

Message was edited by: Yanki01First thing to say is that while more memory is always a good thing because it'll help the system run more efficiently, adding more RAM isn't going to fix this particular issue because it's really not a memory problem in itself - 1Gb is sufficient for the system to run reasonably, even with non-native software.
The symptoms you describe can, however, be caused by many different things. It's possible, for example, that the system hangs because there is content on the web pages you are viewing that the Mac is having a hard time processing. It could also be that your system is busy with background tasks (though it should not be), or that the system has permission issues. There could be a problem with a damaged or conflicted font, there could be a damaged or corrupted 'property list' file (these control settings and preferences for applications, processes and MacOS components), or indeed there may be an issue with your hard drive.
The first thing I would suggest is that you open Disk Utility (in Applications>Utilities), and select the hard drive in the left-hand pane of it. Then click the button to 'Repair Permissions'. Let that run until completed, then click the button to 'Verify Disk' and let that run until it completes. The permission repair will almost certainly show some activity with errors that it corrects - that's not unusual and nothing to be alarmed about. The verification of the drive on the other hand should report no problems found at the end. If it actually shows error that need to be corrected, or reports 'Error on exit', then there are problems with the data on your drive that need to be resolved, and which are likely causing the beach balling. If that happens, post back here and we'll guide you through the process of dealing with it.
Assuming repairing permissions and verifying the drive complete successfully, but the beach ball continues in the same way as before, the next thing to pursue would, I think, be a general 'spring clean' of the system. For this, download and run a copy of YASU from http://jimmitchell.org/projects/yasu/ Set it to perform all tasks (you can uncheck delete cookies if you want to keep those) and let it run. This will take a few minutes, and you should not attempt to use the system for anything else while it's running. At the end, it'll reboot the system. The reboot will be slow and the system will initially appear sluggish as it rebuilds cache files, but after that, it should run as normal.
Try these steps and let us know the outcome. If the problem continues after this, we can then go on to the next possible steps. -
Beach Ball after Startup or Hibernation
Greetings,
I face a very annoying problem and I have no idea how to troubleshoot. Most of the time, when I start the computer or wake it up, I get a beach ball for 2-5 minutes. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does, nothing responds except GUI. It doesn't occur immediately but after 3-5 minutes of regular usage. I can't pinpoint it to a single application. I saw beach ball after starting or using iTunes, starting Skype, opening a few tabs in Firefox, executing a MySQL query and so on. It happens only once per session and everything is fine after that until I shut down or put the computer to sleep.
I tried to run top but it freezes before I can see which process jumps to the top.
Also, in the console I saw "kernel[0]: jnl: unknown-dev: flushing fs disk buffer returned 0x5". But it's not there after each beach ball. So, I don't know if it's related or not.
Finally, I suspect it started after I enabled "put the hard disks to sleep when possible". I tried that option on and off and in different combinations for Battery and Power Adapter, it doesn't solve the problem.
I would appreciate any help. The issue drives me absolutely nuts.
Thanks!I only have Logitech Trackman connected from time to time and I get beach ball with or without it.
I was able to re-create the problem and dumped the messages. Only two of them look suspicious.

They were well before the beach ball, which occurred at 22:02 and lasted for 3 minutes. I reviewed all log files and there are absolutely no messages from 21:53 to 22:05 when beach ball was over and I opened a terminal window.
There are a few error messages in system.log that are most likely unrelated as well.

I have VMWare installed. I don't currently use it but it does a lot of work at startup. Perhaps, I should try uninstalling it?
