It usually occurs when a website sends a wait command. It often appears in web apps, like Google Sheets.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_the_Spinning_Wheel_of_Death\"><\/span>How to Fix the Spinning Wheel of Death<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A spinning wheel (or beachball) is a sign from the operating system that an app isn\u2019t behaving as it should. This is one of the better problems to encounter because it means your system is probably running fine. It\u2019s likely just one app that\u2019s causing the issue. If you find the app and fix the problem, you should be golden.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, let\u2019s run through how to find the app in question, and how you can get rid of the spinning wheel.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_the_App_Causing_the_Issue\"><\/span>Find the App Causing the Issue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A spinning wheel <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly means macOS has detected a problem in a specific app. The good news is it also means your entire system (including the OS) hasn\u2019t crashed. In fact, a spinning wheel doesn\u2019t necessarily mean\u00a0<em>anything<\/em> has crashed (yet).<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s not already obvious, you can find the app causing the issue by cycling through those that are active. To do so, press Command+Tab or just click around on the screen (your mouse should still work even though the cursor has changed).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-686315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/xmac_activity_monitor_overview.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.t11B8Y_5ME.jpg\" alt=\"An overview of the CPU tab in Activity Monitor on Mac.\" width=\"650\" height=\"507\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t tell which app is causing the issue, Activity Monitor might be able to help. You can launch it by heading to Applications &gt; Utilities or searching for it in Spotlight. Under the CPU tab click the \u201c% CPU\u201d column to organize the list by current system usage.<\/p>\n<p>This puts the thirstiest apps at the top of the list. See if any are using more than their fair share of CPU resources. You might also see \u201c(Not responding)\u201d appended after the app name in the list. Resist quitting the app just yet and move on to the next step.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wait_a_While\"><\/span>Wait a While<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many times, the spinning wheel of death appears when an app is trying to do something. For example, it might appear when you\u2019re trying to render a video in an editing program or perform batch edits in a photo-editing app. It might even pop up when you\u2019re connecting to a server in an online <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In these cases, waiting is the best option. If you\u2019ve already told an app to do something, you might as well give it some time to finish the task. Sometimes, this isn\u2019t something you explicitly requested. For example, the macOS Photos app might be performing image analysis on a set of photos you recently imported.<\/p>\n<p>Other apps should function normally during this period, assuming you aren\u2019t putting the system under a huge load (like rendering video or 3D models, for example). Step away from your computer for a few minutes and let your Mac work out the problem.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Force_Quit_the_Problem_App\"><\/span>Force Quit the Problem App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve waited a while for any tasks to complete, but your computer is still unresponsive, it might be a good idea to force quit and restart the app. If you have any unsaved data or work, you might lose it when you do this, so be sure you\u2019ve given the app long enough to recover.<\/p>\n<p>You can try quitting the app normally first. To do so, right-click (or two-finger click or press Control+Click) its icon in the Dock, and then choose Quit. The app might take a second to respond. However, by shutting it down normally, you might avoid losing any unsaved work.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this doesn\u2019t always work. You can also force quit an app by right-clicking its icon in the Dock, holding the Option key on your keyboard, and then selecting \u201cForce Quit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can launch Activity Monitor, find the app, and then quit the process from there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-702715\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/xScreen-Shot-2020-11-26-at-12.13.56_edited.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.pBYejGyEI1.png\" alt=\"Force Quit an App in macOS\" width=\"650\" height=\"319\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>When the problem app is closed, the spinning wheel of death should disappear. You should now be able to reopen the app and try again.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Got_a_Persistent_Pinwheel_Restart_Your_Mac\"><\/span>Got a Persistent Pinwheel? Restart Your Mac<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If the pinwheel refuses to disappear or keeps reappearing, restarting your machine is a good idea. Just click the Apple logo, select \u201cRestart,\u201d and then wait. After your machine reboots, it should be fast and responsive, with no wait cursors in sight.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, your Mac might crash to the point that restarting it via the Apple logo isn\u2019t possible. If this occurs (and you feel like you\u2019ve waited long enough for it to respond), press and hold your Mac\u2019s power button (or the Touch ID button on some MacBooks) until it powers off.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_441003\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-441003 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/xPower-button-on-MacBook-Pro-without-touch-bar.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.KjgJLUiLtw.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"278\" data-credittext=\"Apple\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is the last resort for any major system crashes, and you will lose any unsaved work in the applications that are still running.

However, if you start seeing it often and across a variety of applications, this might indicate a larger problem.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the state of your system could be contributing to software instability. One common cause is a lack of available storage. Your Mac needs free space to function. Both the operating system and third-party applications swell and contract their use of storage over time<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-676453 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/xstorage_display_highlit_type.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.pBrqDi4E3Y.png\" alt=\"Managing Storage in macOS\" width=\"650\" height=\"261\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So, first, make sure your Mac has enough free space. Apple doesn\u2019t specify what the \u201cright\u201d amount of free space is. However, we recommend leaving about 10% of your primary disk space (around 20GB on a 256GB MacBook). That should be enough to keep the cogs turning.<\/p>\n<p>A lack of RAM might also cause the spinning pinwheel to regularly appear in memory-hungry apps. There\u2019s not a lot you can do about this unless you\u2019re using an iMac, Mac mini, or Mac Pro that allows you to upgrade the memory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>10 Ways To Free Up Disk Space on Your Mac Hard Drive<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Running_Yosemite_or_Earlier_Repair_Permissions\"><\/span>Running Yosemite or Earlier?
