Why is the spinning pinwheel showing up so much?

I cleared out my cache folders from Premire Pro and Encore recently. Now when ever I'm in Photoshop I am consistently getting the spinning pinwheel on very simple edits.
Example, I open a very small JPG, and add a box to it. Just dragging the box, I will get a spinning pinwheel. I don't get it on any other applications.
Thoughts?

As explained by Jeff Schewe, 8GB of RAM is fine for Photoshop provided you have no other applications running.
That was a gross oversimplification which may be true when retouching and adjusting 30 megapixel images. 8 GB RAM can be far more than is needed or far less than is needed at any given time, depending on the size of documents, tools/features being used, the number of history states being maintained, etc, etc, etc.
I have only 8 GB RAM, yet sometimes I will simultaneously run, and be frequently switching between, Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D and a bunch of multi-tab Safari windows and never see a spinning beachball for hours.
At other times I may have only Photoshop open, and with a single document, and there will be frequent and lengthy periods of spinning beachball.

The spinning pinwheel on my Imac

The spinning pinwheel on my Imac constantly causes delays when using the machine. The hard drive has been replaced and the system scanned with MacKeeper showing no problems. Any ideas?

Remove Mackeeper at once! As has been covered in these Forums repeatedly, Mackeeper is essentially a Malware posing as a useful utility, that when installed slows the system down and acts in a negative way on overall system performance. And you will have to Google HOW to remove it because its Developers cunningly made it Very difficult to get rid of. (Feel free to do a search on "Mackeeper" in this Forum for confirmation of what I'm saying by other advanced users.)
Hope this helps

How do I get rid of the spinning pinwheel on my macbook?

How do I get rid of the spinning pinwheel on my MacBook? I'm assuming I need to clean it up, but not sure how.

A little more information is needed. Which model MacBook? Which version of OS X? How much ram is installed? Finally how much free space is left on your hard drive?

Why is the itunes always show my ID is disabled as I download the APP

Why is the itunes always show my ID is disabled as I download the APP

If it works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
If it doesn't work on your computer nor iPhone then depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between?

I have a PC that is connected to a switch (A) in a network. Switch A has many switches in between and connects to another switch B. When I did a trace to the server, the last switch I see in the result is switch B. Also, when I checked to which port of switch B that the server was connected, It showed as Po1. When I did a show cdp neighbor for the interfaces for the interfaces involved inthe bundle, I get a switch and then another. Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between? Why did I get an arp on Switch B? Could some one explain?

It's hard to tell, but if you have L2 switches, the addresses on those L2 switches are for management purposes only and you won't see a response from a trace. The only time you'll see a response is when the packet is routed between devices and not switched. You'll get an arp request/response across a single vlan. If you have vlan 10 across 10 switches, all 10 switches will see an arp request because they're broadcasted throughout the whole vlan.

You can't remove the time. However, if you make the column narrower, only the Date will show.

Using Windows 7 and LR 5, when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword. Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

Dan,
Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding". There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics. There is no overlap between the two sets of pics.
I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn". I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
gwenn
schwartz
{gwenn}
From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand.
It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family. A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc. Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe". Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you follow the instructions in the message and contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support. If Apple have asked you to contact them, then the issue can only be resolved by them.

Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than when I moved here in February 2013? I only get one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.

Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than it was when I moved here in February 2013? I get only one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all. Calling to ask the question results in a vortex of questions that have little to do with the problem and no resolution or answer.

I have a Droid Ultra phone. The signal reduction seems to only be in the general area of my home. If I go downtown, the signal improves to what it once was at home. Everything at my home is as it was when the signal was good, including cable TV service. There has been no new construction in the area that I know of.
Thanks for trying to resolve the issue. Just this morning while trying to view web pages, I found that I could not load any.

Why in the world does it cost sooo much to replace a logic board for your water damage macbook pro? As if apple hasn't made enough money to allow some people to save some money for their laptop..

Why in the world does it cost sooo much to replace the logic board for your macbook pro.
As if apple hasn't made enough money to allow some people to save some money..

Do you think Apple should reward your clumsiness or lack of caution by giving you a logic board for free, or at cost? Come to think of it, shouldn't they just give you a free new computer, and be grateful to you for taking it off their hands?
Apple isn't a charity operated for the benefit of the careless.

Why can't I download PDF files, and why does the "spinning beach ball" keep showing up?

I have a late 2008 iMac, 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, 500 Gig Hardrive, and I'm using OS X 10.6.8. In addition, there are three external drives - 750 G Maxtor, 1T Maxtor, and 1T LaCie for Time Machine. There are only 20 Gigs left of space on the internal hard drive. The two problems I continue to have are that PDF files are not visible when I click on the download link, and I keep seeing the "spinning beach ball" when I'm trying to work with photos in iPhoto '09 or Lightroom 4.1. Sometimes it seems like the system is waiting for the 750 G external drive to activate before the beach ball disappears. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

There are only 20 Gigs left of space on the internal hard drive.
That'll slow you down a bit.
See if disconnecting the LaCie helps.
See how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Why does the form link show up in 2 pages, but when I save the form as PDF it comes up as 3 pages?

A few weeks ago, I asked the above question on why the form link shows up in 2 pages, but when the form is saved as PDF it comes up as 3 pages.
The answer I received was that I can simply select the page break and hit "delete" button or click on the trash can icon at the top right corner.
I tried to do this but, there is NO OPTION to select the page break and hit delete….
I want to combine the page on my PDF because the header takes up one entire page.
How can I do this? Can someone please help or walk me through this live?

Wenlam,

Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.
