Why when I open my slideshow do i get the continuous spinning wheel and have to force quit
why when I try to open my slideshow do i get a continuous spinning wheel that won't go away and am unable to view my slideshow that took me 24 hours to create.
Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If the problem doesn't persist in the test library then your current library is the culprit. In that case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I want to disable my mac.com mail, I know how to delete it but I cannot get into mail to do this, whenever I click on mail, or mail in system preferences to open it I get the spinning wheel and have to force quit. I am running a Macbook 10.7.5
Thanks,
Edward.You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’. -
Camera Raw will not install on my mac,os 10.7.5. When I click on the install package the main install screen opens and that is as far as I can proceed with the down load. I have to force quit the software and try again. I have deleted and downloaded the software several times to no avail. I need some help.
Appreciate your help Ian and others. I have since uninstalled FCS and reinstalled FCXP only to get the same thing. Loading FCXP stalls at "Looking for Compressor Support". When I first downloaded FCXP from the App store I didn't notice that FCS was being placed in it's own folder. It's not something I did manually. Although moved into it's own folder with FCXP on the same drive. I was not able to open FCS apps. They would load and then "quit unexpectantly". They opened just fine before I downloaded FCXP. Do I need to purchase Compressor so that FCXP recognizes it? It seems this is where it stalls. It doesn't explain however why my computer "FREEZES" while doing this. I am in the process of re-installing Lion to see if this helps, otherwise I am at a complete loss.

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

I have a spinning wheel in Mail - stuck on trying to load a new message. I've force quit both Mail and my whole computer, but when I open mail again, it brings up the same new message - and the side bar curser is stuck in Drafts. What else can I try to cancel
Can you log on to the email account via webmail in a web browser, view the email and delete it from there if necessary.

In the past, when I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?
I had that too. On the bottom right of the AVG search page is a link which leads you to where you can switch it off. This restores normal Speed Dial operation.
This hijacking has really cheesed me off. I've just downloaded Avast and am going to put it on in place of AVG. -

Try this:
Open your iBooks app on your iPad
Select the Store Button at the top

You will see your AppleID on the right at the bottom, then Redeem, then Support
Click on your Apple ID, and when the AppleID window comes up with the options, Sign Out

Hope this helps!

I use photoshop elements 12 on Macbook air and the screen freezes when I try to use the tools. Then i have to force quit so i lose my work. anyone know how to fix this issue?
What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor: -
I keep getting told that I have no more application memory and have to force quit applications. Why does this happen and how do I fix it? This issue has only started since I started using Mavericks 10.9.2.
Have you checked how much space you have left on your HDD? You may find some useful information here:

Why do I keep getting the rainbow spinning wheel in Garageband 11
I have the latest MBP (see specs below) and I was recording today with Garageband like I always do. I was using my MOTU 828 MK1 8 channle audio interface with the lates compatible Lion update from Sept 2011. I have never had any problems untill last night.
I was recording an acoustic project consiting of 4 raw 'real instrument' acoustic guitar tracks with no effects, which I had no problem recording each track by itself. Next I recorded 1 raw 'real instrument' bass track with no effects then no problems.
I ran into the problem when I started adding the next 2 raw 'real instrument' vocal tracks and 1 click track. So my project has a total of 8 tracks.
When I was recording the vocals everything was going fine untli I tried to do another take and when I pressed the record button I got the rainbow spinning wheel. I let it spin for 2 mins and then went to Forc Quit and noticed GB had stopped responding. So shut down my audio interface and re-started the MBP. Once the MBP was up and running it could not find my MOTU audio interface or the built in audio device on the MBP. So I shutdown the MBP for 30 seconds and turned it back on and my MOTU was recognized and I was able to select it in GB. So I tried to record again with the same problems. I went through this process for 3 times and the fourth time GB told my I had too many tracks. So again I shut down my MOTU then shutdown the MBP then once MBP was up I opened GB, turned on my MOTU, selected it as the audio interface I wanted to use and then went to GB preferences and under the 'Advanced' tab I changed my audio resoultion from 'better' to 'good'.
Needless to say that did not work and I am not able to add anymore tracks to this song.

I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you,
AJTry throwing out all GB preferences, and maybe Caches as well. Then restart GB (preferences and caches will grow back) and see if that helps.

I have been downloading all photos from my Nikon to iphotos. Recently I have not been able to get into my iphotos for anything. I pull it up and immediately the colorful spinning wheel appears and I can't do a thing. The only way I have been able to get out of it, is by turning my mac off and restarting. As soon as I go into it again, the wheel repairs and I have let it stay on for hours and it doesn't clear it either. Can anyone help? Thanks! M
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

The CPU usage is 99% everytime I start firefox. When I open help tabs in the browser to troubleshoot the problem the cpu goes down to normal.How am I supposed to troubleshoot the issue if the last resort is as simple as uninstalling firefox?
Running: Firefox 5.0
OS. H.P. Windows XP/ sp3 , mem. 1536 MB , Pent.4.Hi musicfan,<br />Sorry you are having problems with Firefox. Maybe you should have asked earlier and we could have fixed it.
Reading your comments I do not see that rolling back to an insecure Firefox 22 will actually help you much. You are probably best using IE, unless you have also damaged that.
*[[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
You should not use old versions they are insecure. Security fixes are publicised and exploitable.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Most others will not be having such problems. We are now able to say that with confidence because after developers missed a regression in Firefox 4 telemetry was introduced so that data was obtained. It may be an idea to turn on your telemetry, if you have not already done so, and decide to stick with Firefox.

Trying safe mode takes seconds. Unfortunatly if you are not willing to do even rudimentary troubleshooting there is not anything we can do to help you.
