Which Color Wheel, please ?
This matter has been bothering me for many years now. I wonder if and how many Kuler users are actually aware of this, but the Adobe Kuler color wheel is spatially based on some perceptual color theory and harmony, and not the color wheel for technical color systems and settings.
For example the primary colors in the typically and technically triangle of RGB or CMY are not to be found in a perfect 120 degrees angle in the Adobe Kuler color wheel.
This is the RGB theme of 0, 120 and 240 degrees in Hue values, spread across the Adobe Kuler color wheel:
As you can see in the above picture, Adobe gracefully 'bends' the space between the values to accommodate for the Kuler color wheel, which follows color theory and harmony. (No wonder Adobe Kuler is reluctant to reveal the advanced value settings of these colors...)
But it's not even similar to the distribution of colors in the Active Color panel of Illustrator.
The green looks similar to the one in the Kuler wheel, but the blue has shifted once again !
To remind you, below, an indication of the Apple color wheel interpretation of RGB:
Finally, there's even a clearer indication of the mismatch between these color wheels.
You can see the technically 0, 90, 180, 270, and 360 degrees setting for the hue value, but it's not at all the exact cross hair you'd expect:
As you can see, what used to be a quarter (90 degrees) in a technically correct RGB distribution of colors in the Apple color wheel, accounts for almost half of the Kuler wheel, while enormously truncating the differences between red and purple.
Due to the same difference, the so called "harmonious" effect of complimentary colors (which are supposed to be exact opposites), or triads (which are supposed to be spread 120 degrees apart from each other) falls to the ground when the spreading of the colors on the wheel seems purely arbitrary. One can only wonder which wheel is the correct one...
So when picking colors together with other designers, be sure to settle on a unanimous color wheel (Adobe Kuler, Illustrator, or Apple), before you start throwing your mentally creative darts at it...
I wish Kuler (and other Adobe popular applications) would at least warn for these differences, or let you pick a preferred color wheel.
Hi,
Regarding 3rd party backup software, it is recommended to seek help in their official website for better understanding.
For backup issues, we could use the built-in Windows backup. We could do a date backup or an image backup using Windows Backup and Restore.
Detailed information for the backup and restore in Windows 7, we could check the below link:
Backup and Restore
And here is a similar thread:
Which backup software please?

In the Desktop Manager > Sync > Configuration, make sure the calendar options are set to override Outlook.
Set it also to notify you of the changes, so you will have to approve any changes.

I am new to Using Apple. I've had my Imac for about 5 months, Recently when I log on to my Yahoo mail, if I click on any of my email, or if I try to compose an email, the color wheel turns on and it just freezes up, I am not able to view my email. This only happens with my Yahoo mail. Someone please help? Any Suggestions?
Hi Lizzy..
If you are using web based email (accessing from Safari), from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Click: Show Cookies
Delete all Yahoo cookies.
Now from the menu bar again click Safari / Empty Cache.
Restart your Mac, launch Safari. Try Yahoo.
If the problem persists, there's a better way to access your Yahoo mail without a browser.
Launch the Mail application. Either from your Dock or Applications folder.
From the Mail menu bar click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click + under the Accounts window on the left.
Type in your name, Yahoo email address and password.
Click: Create
No more having to use Safari or any browser to access your Yahoo mail. Just click the Mail icon in the Dock. -
I trashed the original/recent version when it was too slow to use. Now I can't load what I have just downloaded, because the colored wheel continues to spin when on the FireFox entry page.
Before doing a reinstall, which may not be needed at this point,
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

I am new to Mac and I have a Mini 2,1 Intel Core 2 Duo
It was working great then I was away for four months when I returned I don't know what happened a month later [a] I lost internet connection. When I checked in the Network Preferences it says "Ethernet" not connected, even though the cable is connected and works well when I use it on my PC
[b] the speed has dropped I now go for a cup of tea for it to load any program or file
[c] It invariably hangs up with the color wheel going on and on and on.
[d] do Mac's have any restore systems like PCs' or system recover?
I did not find help in the FAQ so I am reaching out to the Mac family for help. By the way I am in India and BSNL BB is my service provider.
Sincerely apprecaite any help I can get to learn to use and love a Mac!

Like I said, I'm doing a simple video and have finally made some progress in editing. All of a sudden, when I try to replay the video the color wheel pops up and nothing works. It just keeps spinning and spinning with no end. I end up having to force quit the program. When I restart it the same thing happens. I've tried it on 3 different computers and the results have been the same. I've read that perhaps the software needs to be updated through the mac store, I did that to no avail. I also read that perhaps the preferences for the project/final cut pro need to be reset. I downloaded a program that is supposed to do this for me but it didn't work I also went into Preferences in Final Cut and hit reset under editing tab which also did not work. I"m really frustrated about this and I"m getting paid for this video. This needs to be resolved ASAP. Thanks in advance for the help: ask any questions.
Please give complete details of your system and the media and the project properties.

Why does a colored wheel spin all the time
Why is there a colored wheel spinning and my computer freezes
Have no clue as you provided no details what-so-ever!
It would help us to know which comp model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct solutions.
Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

Updated with Yosemite and think that's when my problems started with my IMac being very slow. The color wheel keeps popping up and spinning not allowing me to move forward on typing or moving between websites etc. Extremely slow and never had this problem before Yosemite. Any real answers to this out there? I was on the phone with apple support for two and a half hours the other day and it's not made any difference in what the tech had me do to resolve this issue.
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The test results are on the Clipboard.
Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I may not agree with them.

I paid for the student creative cloud and was able to download the actual software but my Mac will not open the installer for the cloud. I click on the download (which is the installer) and all I get is the color wheel that shows that it's having issues completing the task. The "Finder" also says that it is not responding while trying to open the download. Any suggestions on how to get the installer open?

IMac "Color Wheels" Despite Tons of Free CPU & Memory
Hello ASC,
That wretched spinning color wheel has been plaguing my iMac lately. I’ve keep an eye on the Activity Monitor and even when the wheel freezes up my Safari, Spotlight Search, Mail and Messages apps, my *free* CPU hardly dips below 97% and my available RAM is over 10GB (out of 16GB). A rudimentary knowledge of computers tells me that I shouldn’t be experiencing these lags in performance with numbers like these. (Note: I haven’t tested this much but it does seem that these lags are only happening with Apple apps; for example, it doesn’t happen with Spotify.)
I’ve ran an EtreCheck, which you can see below. It says my disk has "41 errors", though it doesn't get specific. I've "verified" my disk with the Disk Utility and couldn't find any errors. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
EtreCheck version: 2.1.8 (121)

When i open safari, it will not load and the color wheel spins
When i open up safari, it will not load anything and the color wheel spins as long as safari is open. Not sure what to do.
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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
Why is the color wheel always coming out?
I recently just bought a macbook (Intel 2.0ghz, 1gb RAM, 160G HD), coz my friends have macbooks and they run awesome. So I figured, I buy a macbook and it will run awesome. I'm starting to regret buying it. I opened the box, and it was ok, color wheel would come out once in a while. Now, even after a RAM upgrade (4gb), my macbook still keeps popping out that color wheel, everytime I'm browsing the internet to even when I'm just playing movies. I already took it to the mac store in short hills for the to see if there is anything wrong. I asked them to run a hardware diagnostics on it to see if there's any hardware problems, but they told me it's fine. I told them it's not coz I see how other macbooks run and that's what I thought what I was buying. Anyway, any information to help me out would be great. It just always seems like that color wheel keep popping out and my computer is always running slow. I reinstalled the OS several times already to make sure it's not software related. Any suggestions?
HI,
lets try simply:
The spinningwheel is an indication that your computer waits for some application to due a certain task. that can be loading a certain page in a browser, or that can be loading lots of info into the memory. both of this take time. So the diagnostics is meant to find out, which of your applications needs time, and for which reason, and then get the "therapy" to cure it. For example, if you load photodirectories of many thousand large pictures, or several dvd movies or games, then your MB's memory is overloaded, and has to write things to disk, which takes a lot of time.
As JasonFear said, go to your Login and make sure that no application is running at Login. Then restart your MB.
After restart, there should be no application in the Dock which is highlighted with a little point or similar, except Finder and Dock.
If there are other applications, click on them and quit them ("Cmd-q").
Now there should be no spinning wheel. right? if not, stop here and report back!
if things are fine, then start your browser. i understand, this is Safari. What kind of internet connection do you have? DSL (or ADSL)? what speed? are you connected by a wi-fi, or by a cable? just to know, so that we get the right diagnostics.
Still no spinning wheel after Safari has started and loaded the start-up page? If spinning wheel, tell us. if not, continue.
Surf a bit to places where you previously have experienced the spnnwheel.
are you playing games via internet? these can be timeconsuming (due to lengthy downloads) and will cause the computer to wait, so the spnnwl comes up. Tell us!
If everything works fine , continue. start the next of you favourite applications. iMusic? some DVD games? tell us which application you have started when the spnnwl comes up.
Please, do this, as we need more info to help you. N any case, you MB should not be the problem. Most likely is the problem in the way, how you use it, and by using it in the most efficient way will make out of it a terrible little machine!
Cheers, Thomas -
Any way to enlarge color wheels?
Hey guys ~
So I finally made the plunge into Speedgrade. At first I didn't get its wonky, menu-less UI. And still there are parts of its baffling workflow that remind me of the way things were done with ancient software in the days of yore. But you know what? I'm actually starting to like it. It still needs some fixin', but I dare say I think I'm starting to get it.
That being said, does anyone know if there's a way to increase the size of the color wheels? Let's face it, anything 10% outside of the exact center of the wheel is pretty much unusable (and that's being generous... it's probably closer to 5%). After that point, whatever color you're heading towards goes flat-out nuclear. So there's only an extremely small area in the wheel that's actually relevant to color correction. As a result, making the smallest of moves inside that area can drastically change your image.
My thought was to enlarge the wheel like you can in Premiere so I could get more accurate, but I haven't found a way to do that... making the wheels panel bigger doesn't increase the size of the actual color wheels. I also know about the sliders/edit boxes/curves filters, but I would still prefer to use color wheels over those options. Does anyone know if there's something I'm missing to make the wheels bigger, or have you found a way to use the wheels that works? Thanks for any help.Over in the Preferences panel, "Environment", you can change how fast the wheel movement works ... say, add another zero into the "Speed Reduction Ratio" number, and you slow down reaction to the input ... which to my taste makes them much easier to work with. That said ...you're right, in general, about the wheels going to Nuke color way too quickly.
Perhaps the scale is linear and should be a logarithmic one? Anyway, PLEASE feel free to file a bug-report over this ...
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
It would be vastly more useful to have a wider range of the wheel showing smaller changes ....
As to general workflow, there's times when I use the wheels, and other things where the sliders are better as I can guarantee hitting ONE color. This can be shifted one to the other by keyboard shorts ... and this program was originally written by/for colorists. Professional 'old-school' types ... where they used grading "surfaces" (the $2,000 variety), special keyboards, trackballs & million-button "mice" to work. Menus simply took up workspace, and when monitors were 17" diagonal 4:3 CRT's, well ... you fought for every pixel on that screen. Why have menus taking up valuable pixels when your users don't use menus?
I cannot more strongly recommend these resources ...
The starting point within Adobe's SpeedGrade info ...
SpeedGrade Help | SpeedGrade Learn & Support
Especially download the manual pdf ... and ... yea, it's more of a "we have these features that do X" sort of thing than a real-usable manual. Still, it gets into quite a bit of how the program works. ESPECIALLY ... read & print out the keyboard shortcuts. Using these speeds up your work and makes things a bit more precise. One experienced pro colorist said to me that the best list of what the tools in Sg are is the keyboard shorts list. He's not wrong, you know.
A book ... that is on color grading in general but is an immense store of usable knowledge to get work done in grading no matter the app used ... which shows the various tools available in various apps to do X process ... this was and is a huge resource for my progress in color grading in general and SpeedGrade in particular. Especially, coming from a stills-shooter background (35+ years, total family income ... many awards & such ... mattes not one whit in video!) I was used to the histogram ... which is the LEAST usable of the scopes for my now. Vector & parade ... wow, those tell you a LOT about your images.
http://www.amazon.com/Color-Correction-Video-Second-Edition/dp/0240810783
Also ... while video tutorials take time, they can be very useful. After watching tons, my preferences are for base starting, the AdobeTV ones on SpeedGrade ... and when you see Patrick Palmer, well ... he's the guy that started what eventually became Iridas and then SpeedGrade. He's a wonderful dude who speaks such fluent English it's hard to realize he's German except for the bit of accent, and well ... he knows "his" program, though he's recently moved on to other things.
Past that, in paid videos, I have found the lynda-dot-com ones to be the most useful, and there's several on SpeedGrade in particular and also in using it as part of the Direct Link process from PrPro.
My work setup, btw ... a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard with all sorts of extra programmable buttons & a spring-loaded zoom button that's heavily customizable to specific programs in the middle ... a Wacom pen-tab for my left hand with it's programmable features (that I've barely tapped into) and on the right, the Kensington Expert Mouse large trackball (2" ball) with a four-button surrounding area of large buttons. You might guess from this, I'm a lefty ... which means pretty ambidextrous. I'm still studying what I do & how ... but about read to start setting more program actions into those tools I've got.
I have a Dell U2312HM monitor, which can be quite nicely calibrated, and am going to pick up a cheap 1920x1080 monitor in the next few days so that I can have the 'main' display within the video programs (tools) on that probably 16" or so monitor, and above it this nice one with the program monitor locked to it. Switching the program to full-screen & back is a pain and I've done it for almost 3 years and I'm just ... DONE. With that.
Is this a full broadcast setup? No ... but then, my clients are TV stations either ... nor Sony Pictures or Pixar or Disney. This calibrates well, and my outputed material has always shown beautifully on my clients computers and TV's.

I have a periodically appearing spinning color wheel. Every 3 minutes or so. It appears for a very short time. I can not trace its source. I have seen in the youtube there are some worms which are designed to do a screenshot etc. periodiaclly. Can it be something like this? Is there a way to trace the cause of this spininning wheel? It does not appear in the task manager. Also, is there a netstat -ap equivalent in OsX? There are lots of udp ports open, and I don't have a clue what they are. Also, I don't have a clue which programs are connecting to that addresses I don't recognize. What are those open streams in the /tmp and /var/tmp?. I've tried sophos and clamxav, all reported no malware.
System 2012 Retina Macbook with 16 gb ram
OsX 10.9.1
The open applications are firefox and chrome browsers (sites:Grooveshark and Gmail) imessage skype Mad Catz mouse software. Synology icloud. Nothing dissimilar I've been using for many years.

5d553a823f12d48f stream 0 0 0 5d553a823f12dc5f1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Finder crash - Copying data - spinning color wheel
Hi,
Have posted before. Running OSX 10.5.7 on iMac with 3Gig Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM and 1TB HD.
Basically my issue is that anytime I am making a duplicate copy of data (into a diff folder), I get the rainbow spinning color wheel and it crashes. Usually I am copying larger amounts (above 2GB) but this happens for large or small copies.
I am somewhat new to Mac's, so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot.
I've had the issue since I bought my iMac last summer, and my warranty is up at the end of June. It has been in the Apple Store twice for HW repair, and they replaced the USB portion of the logic board (found that during HW scan), and the second time, found no issues, but I was able to prove it happened so they replaced the logic board and the HD.
Please advise. First time buying a Mac, and I love it.... BUT it crashes more than my PC.
Thanks
