[QUOTE="future8, post: 1278607, member: 200877"] 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. [/QUOTE]
