[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 939960, member: 24098"] Personally, I think you're probably running into compatibility issues with Snow Leopard and third party apps. I had similar issues when I first upgraded and it took a long time to nail down a combination of issues that all resulted in a single symptom: an intermittent spinning wheel for seemingly no good reason. Things to do: 1. Monitor the Console for daemons or programs that are constantly closing and reopening. Remove offending applications. 2. Exclude your Boot Camp partition from Spotlight indexing (if you're using Boot Camp). 3. Exclude your browser cache from Spotlight indexing. 4. Make sure your apps are up to date by using a program like AppFresh. 5. Avoid using tools like Onyx/MainMenu/Diskwarrior/TechTool/AppleJack, unless they are specifically certified for 10.6 [/QUOTE]
