HOW TO STOP THE SPINNING RAINBOW BALL (CIRCLE) PROBLEM ON MAC

Is your Mac experiencing the spinning rainbow ball or circle very often while loading up any applications? Typically, when this rainbow circle is seen, the computer will not allow you to do anything for a few seconds and then resumed. This situation usually indicates that some task that is running on the background is blocking your operating system to interact with a program. In some cases, the whole computer system freezes and the only option left for you to do is to hold the power button down until the computer is forced to shut down. The spinning rainbow ball usually indicates an application not responding on your computer and if this situation happens very often on your Mac, you should resolve it immediately as it may leads to hard drive failure or any other underlying problems later. Here in this article I am going to show you how to get rid of and stop this spinning rainbow ball permanently without causing you to spend a dollar.

1. INSTALL iBOOSTUP.                                                                        iBoostUp

The most effective way to fix the problem is to optimize your hard drive by getting rid of unnecessary files. To do this, just download and install iBoostUp. You can download the application for free from: http://www.iboostup.com/download
iBoostUp tunes up and optimizes your Mac by purging unneeded files, fixing your hard disk, giving you performance recommendations, protecting your privacy by removing cookies, displaying system information and much more. Running iBoostUp regularly will ensure that the file structure on your Mac is organised and functioned correctly, hence results in your Mac working at optimum speed.

2. RUN DISK PERMISSION.

Disk permissions are a disk utility that helps to verify and repair your disk for permission differences. In Mac OS X Lion or earlier version, when the user run disk verification or repair disk permissions, Disk Utility searches and reviews each of the .bom files in /Library/Receipts/ and compares its list to the actual permissions on each file listed. If the permissions differ, Disk Utility will report and list out the difference (and corrects them) if you use the Repair feature. Running disk permissions regularly will definitely ensure that your Mac runs smoothly, efficiently and error free.

3. REMOVE UNNECESSARY APPS.

Most Mac users tend to download a lot of free applications and games to review and try out. Usually after a while, most of the Apps and games that are downloaded onto your Mac are not useful anymore and left in your system which takes up space and physical Ram memory. Regularly checking and removing unnecessary Apps that are not needed on your Mac will help free up your hard disk space and boost up your computer speed. I would suggest that you download and install AppCleaner 2.0.5 to uninstall any applications that you do not required. You can download the free application from: http://en.softonic.com/s/trash-app-mac:mac. This Apps help to clean up all unnecessary or related files that are left on your Mac whenever you delete any Apps from your computer system.

4. RESETTING PRAM.

In Mac OS X, a small amount of memory called PRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory) stores certain settings which Mac computer can access quickly. These settings include your Mac designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume and other vital information. Resetting PRAM will help to refresh your Mac memory and speedup your OS. To reset PRAM on your Mac, just shut down your computer. Locate and hold down Command, Option, P, and R keys, and turn on your computer. Continue holding the keys down until you hear the startup sound for the second time, then only release the keys and your computer will startup.
