When I go to download anything the wheel just keeps spining no down load

it just stalls

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

    My ipod touch will recognize my home wireless network but when I try to select it the wheel just keeps spinning. It looks as though I have a good signal but my router is an older apple extreme. I've updated to the lasted firmware but it's still not working. I have two older imacs and a wii that connect to the router. Any thoughts? Thanks

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

  • When I log off, there is always an update waiting to be installed but the wheel just keeps spinning and nothing happens .

    For the past two weeks, whenever I've logged off there has always been one update waiting to be installed. I found this curious, so last night I waited to see what would happen. The wheel just kept spinning and spinning--and pretty obviously the update was not installed. And now the update is still waiting to be installed. (Only in the last instance, when I was checking to see what happened, did I power off the computer. In all the previous instances, I found the computer OFF when I checked the following morning. However, the update had obviously not been installed.) How do I solve this problem? Thanks.

    That is the security software. This is what I posted at Microsoft;
    =============================================
    I had an issue with my Win 7 Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows update
    would download the upgrade, but the upgrade could not install. After many
    hours of searching help sites and web search engines, I finally found out
    what the problem was. Somehow, Windows lost the install information
    file. And without those files.......<br>
    Go to
    '''''[http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled]'''''
    and check it out. I ended up using the Fix-It program to manually remove
    two programs called Microsoft Security Client. Don't forget to first download
    the current Microsoft Security Essentials first.

  • HT202157 Apple TV says it is updating date and time after a power outage here.  But nothing happens.  The wheel just keeps spinning.  What do I do to be able to use my apple tv?

    Apple TV says it is updating date and time after a power outage. But the wheel just spins and nothing happens..  The software is updated and my wifi router is on and working fine and recognized by the Apple TV.  How do I get Apple TV to work again?

    Thanks for the tip.  Unfortunately &quot;Restart&quot; did not change the situation.  I then used the &quot;Restore&quot; option.  After about 45 minutes of the unit going through the process, Apple TV was up and running again.

  • I can't download apps, the wheel just spins!

    Hi, I have an iPhone 5c with the latest AppStore update and iOS.
    I tried to install an app, but when I click the "get" button it says "install" and when I click that, the wheel comes up and spins, but never actually starts to load or install the app, the wheel stops and it says "get" again!
    help, what's wrong? I haven't even had this phone for a month yet! It's not jail broken, it's on a contract!
    tthank you!

    Hi, I had same problem. Mine would spin then go back to 'update'. I couldn't even download new apps.
    this happened straight after updating to IOS 8.3
    i tried a few things but this is what worked for me.
    Turned off wi-fi.
    Did a soft reset.
    waited about 1 min turned phone back on
    went to App Store and kicked off one update using 3G
    Turned wi-fi back on. All seems to be working good now
    Hope this helps

  • My macbook pro frooze, "spinning wheel of death", I tried to force quit.  When that failed I held down the power button.  Now I can't get by the white apple start up screen, the wheel just keeps spinning and nothing will happen...HELP!

    Again,
    My macbook pro just frooze while on-line.  I got the rainbow wheel spinnin and it wouldn't stop I tried to do a force quit and I was unable to do that.  So I held down the power button.  Now when I try to restart it I can't get by the while page with the apple symbol on it.  All I have is the grey circle spinning continuosly like it is working.  I tried a command S when I started it back up and checked the HD and rebooted, still can't get by the startup page.  Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. I started an automatic upgrade that then got "stuck" for hours. I did a hard shut down and now all I get when I try to reboot is the spinning wheel. I haven't done a backup in 3 months and can't afford to lose everything in a reinstall. Any suggestions?

  • Numbers is not responding...the colorful "thinking wheel" just keeps spining and won't let me do anything

    How do I get this to stop?  It's been 45 minutes.

    I don't remember the number of times I wrote that it's useful to work with "Activity Monitor" running to be able to check if the used applications are behaving correctly (sometimes heavily busy) or if they are frozen.
    As Numbers may be heavily busy, I'm not sure that you may start "Activity Monitor" now.
    Try to do that. If you may start the app, you will be able to see the true state of Numbers.
    As you gave us a ridiculously short set of infos, we can't give an accurate answer.
    I already saw Numbers busy for more than an hour.
    Sometimes it's its normal behavior.
    Sometimes it's the result of a bad design used by the user.

  • Wheel just keeps on turning on my macbook pro

    When I heard a beeping sound alarm (out of nowhere) I panicked and tried to froce quit but could not so I pushed the power button.  Able to restart but the wheel just keeps on turning.  What can I do.  This problem started after I downloaded a site to stream international TV. HELP! And how again do you force quit the correct way?

    To Force Quit:
    Choose Force Quit off the Apple menu, or type Command-Option-Esc. This brings up a window with all Applications in it, choose the one you want and press the Force Quit button in the window.
    To try to fix your troubles now:
    Restart your Mac and when the chime sounds, hold down the Shift key. This invokes Safe Mode, which does two things:
    1) It does one pass of the equivalent of "Repair Disk"
    2) It loads up Mac OS X with a minimal set of extensions and a simple screen reaolution. in hopes that enough is working that you can log in and look around -- maybe move a few files around. If it seems to be working, try restarting without Shift.

  • Iphoto will not open . Wheel just keeps spinning and spinning. Cannot reboot

    My IPHOTO app will not open on my computer. When I open the app the wheel just keeps spinning .  If I try to upload a picture from my library to facebook it tells me I need to upgrade to IPHOTO 5 or above.but then my computer tells me there are no upgrades needed for my computer.  What is the issue here ? My photos just never appear.  Only the little wheel spinning

    what version of iphoto do have? Of the OS?
    If iPhoto will not quit you can force quit - Apple menu ==> force quit
    You can try to Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

    3. Tap Apple ID:
    4. Tap "Sign Out"
