Why does my small rainbow wheel spin endlessly when I choose a story from Yahoo that happens to have a video attached? I have to manually shut my Mac down and manually restart.

Yahoo is my homepage and I also have just moved and have a new internet provider. I doubt this has anything to do with my issue but thought just in case, I'd provide that information. When I select an article to read from the yahoo news section, it goes directly to the article. However, if there is a video attached, the small rainbow wheel appears and turns endlessly. I can't get out of the cycle. I can't select restart. I eventually must manually close down the Mac and then must manually restart. This happens EVERY time I select an article with a video attached to the text of the article. Anybody have a clue what is going on and how to stop the insanity?
Thanks,
Sheri

It sounds like your ISP is slow and this is causing the video to take a long time to download.
Go to http://www.speedtest.net and click Start Test.
Whatever you do don't click anything on the rightside of the screen for MacKeeper. That is scamware and all it will do is hose your computer up royally.
My numbers were Ping 11ms Download Speed 25.44 Mbps Upload Speed 3.49 Mbps
Which aren't bad.
Let us know what you get.

Mail runs fine at first but after awhile it freezes the machine. I have shut the mac down and restart. I am running Mountain Lion which was updated from Leopard. I reinstalled original programs from disk and solved this same problem with Contact. Mail is still a problem. May also include itunes which seems to add to the problem.

Guesses, not promised solutions.
It may be that the ADE authorization has got corrupted somehow.
Try de-authorizing (ctrl-shift-D) and restarting ADE.
It should ask you to re-authorize.
That may help; no promises.
Have you got an eReader device plugged in while you are trying to access the book?
If so, try with it unplugged. There is a bad interaction between ADE2.0/Overdrive and certain devices.
If that works, the best longer term solution is probably to install the older v1.7.2.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Why does the hard drive keep spinning up when in sleep mode?

When my iMac 27" is in sleep mode I have noticed that the hard drive spins up very regularly every 4 or 5 minutes. Also when placed in sleep, the monitor takes about 30 seconds to go black. It also wakes on its own for no apparent reason. No new software has been added, only normal updates, running Lion. Time machine backup is done every couple weeks.

Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
If the problems persist after performing the above read the following.
Open the Terminal app - it is in your Mac's Utilities folder and looks like this
Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), select Edit > Copy, and then Paste it into the Terminal window:
clear; printf '\e[3J' && echo "**** Sleep/Wake events"; egrep -i 'eep\ cau|ake\ rea' /private/var/log/system.log; echo "**** Assertions"; pmset -g assertions
Copy the text of that entire window by selecting Edit > Select All, then Edit > Copy. Paste the text in a reply to this Discussion.

Since my last update on OSX10.9.2 My mac hardly starts up. and whats with that rainbow wheel spinning all the time

Make sure you have a backup. You should always have a backup and especially when your Mac is ailing.
Time Machine Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Most commonly used backup methods: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3045
Try and SMC Reset.

Look in the Applications/Utilities folder and run Disk Utility. Click on the upper left disk icon. Does the S.M.A.R.T. status say “Verified”? If not the disk/SSD is unhealthy and needs to be replaced. Click on the icon indented below, usually called “Macintosh HD” and Verify Disk. If it finishes with a green “OK” message then all is well with the disk. If it shows errors in red then you have found a problem to address once the system is backed up.
Try booting in Safe Mode (Boot and hold down the Shift key.) It should take longer to boot and shutdown. Once it is booted is it more responsive?
Please download and run Etrecheck and post back the results.

Why does my Adobe Reader DC stop working when I click scroll down options?

I used to use PDF Suite 2014 Standard to view pdf files.
However, tonight a message appeared when I attempted to open files saying ..."if the document does not load then the pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document"
I went to the website provided to download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
Although I was able to load pdf documents and fill in forms, the program repeatedly would crash whenever I attempted to click on scroll down options on forms.
Any help is appreciated
....and talk/write slowly for I am not super computer literate.
Regards,
Luisa

Dear Aedesh, Thank you for your assistance. I did all that you instructed below, regarding uninstalling, and using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool. I restarted my computer, then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (for Windows 7, English and version: Reader DC 2015). I continue to have the problems: (1) When I attempt to use a scroll down option within a pdf form, the program stops working. (2) If I send the pdf to my iPhone, and I open the pdf, I receive the message "Please wait...if the message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document..." However, when I send pdf's created earlier than 4-28-15, I am able to open in my iPhone.I am able to open on my laptop the pdf's created after 4-28-15, but have the scroll option issue (thank you in advance for your patience)Luisa

Why does the apple tv light come on when I'm not using it?

Why does the Apple tv light come on when I am not using it?

my atv1 does that sometimes
I'm 90% sure that it's because it crashed and rebooted

What is your current iOS version. I believe iOS 5.1.1, released just a few days ago, addresses a camera issue. Even if it doesn't directly mention it in the update description, it may solve the problem. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

While transferring files from one external hard drive to another, my MacBook Pro routinely would freeze and often render a message to hold down the start button until it shut down and then restart. I have i7 why does it keep locking up?

You can go back to original hardware; run Apple Hardware Test even.
Remove 3rd party RAM ( much rarer I think )
USB printers, cables, devices and drivers.
What changed?
