Hey guys..
I have been dealing with the spinning ball for quite sometime now and after upgrading to Lion I thought it would stop but I was wrong.
Here is what happens:
Spinning ball appears when browsing on safari, or using any other program and it appears at random. It will spin for about a minute or sometimes longer. I am able to move the cursor and hovering over the dock shows all the apps there. But I can't open anything else. Sometimes it takes so long that I have to reboot.
What I've done:
I have used disk utility and the disk has no errors.
I have tested the memory and there are no memory errors.
I did a fresh install of leopard and then moved over all programs etc.
I now did an upgrado of Lion
I cloned the hard drive to another hd using carbon copy cloner.
The spinning ball persisted.
My mac is a 2010 white macbook with 4gb of ram and a 320GB WD hard drive with 200gb of FREE space.
Warranty is gone I believe.
Any suggestions?
I am now thinking that it may be a program that may be causing the issue and not hardware related. I recently uninstalled Frostwire to see how that helps if at all.
THanks for any input.
