The spinning beach ball is a sign that the Mac is waiting for something. There are several common causes for this:
1. The start-up disk drive has less than 10% free space. - Free up disk space by deleting or moving files to an external drive.
2. The System Cache has grown very large and it takes time for the Mac to read it. - Clear the system cache. A free app that can do this is AppleJack. AppleJack can also repair simple start-up drive problems, broken pref files, and permissions.
3. There are too many files on the desktop. - Make aliases of files and move the files to the hard drive. Put the aliases into a folder on the desktop.
4. Too many apps are open at once. - Closing a window on a Mac will not quit the app. Use Command Q to quit the app rather than simply clicking the red dot to close the window.
5. An app is trying to update itself and is looking on the internet to see if there is an update available. - Turn off auto updating for each app. There is usually a menu item for this.
6. The Mac has lost touch with reality. It is wandering around in a house of mirrors and can't find its way out. - Restart the Mac and, if you have AppleJack, hold Command s as you start up. Run the AppleJack routines.
