[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1716162, member: 56379"] Sounds good. Hard drives can fail slowly…and in some cases suddenly. Only mentioned a failing HD as a possibility to possibly explain the beachballs.:) If you can boot into the computer successfully…run Onyx.:) - Nick p.s. If the main issue in this thread is the spinning beachball on a Late 2009 27" iMac running Snow Leopard…I would suggest we focus on this. And not complicate things with iPhotos & El Capitan details. Can always discuss the other topics later.:) [/QUOTE]
