Windows On Mac :: Can I Use Steering Wheel Controllers For Racing Games In XP Through Bootcamp
Oct 29, 2009I' running a 24" 2.9Ghz imac with Leopard, and Windows XP Pro SP2 on Bootcamp specifically for gaming.
I want to play racing games like NASCARS and V8 Supercars, but I want to use a steering wheel instead of the keyboard, racing's just not the same without a steering wheel and pedals.
The reason I'm having doubts is my M-Audio interface works fine through OS-X but not through XP because there is no support from the drivers through bootcamp, so I don't wanna spend money on something that could quite possibly not work.
Power Mac G5 :: Intermittent Racing Fan And Lock-up
Dec 31, 2007Sometimes when I push the power on button to boot up, the boot is incomplete and fans begin racing. I power off and try again, usually three to five times, each time getting a little further in the boot till finally it is successful. My Apple disk diagnostic detects this logic board error: 2FAN/4/8: Fan for backside. The problem has been around for a year, maybe two, but it is getting worse and worse.
What other things might I do before jumping to the expense of replacing the logic board?
I have run permission repairs, run ONYX maintenance routines, blown out the dust, scanned the surface of my hard drives...
I keep reading and searching for things to try. I'm going to replace the computer battery now. Should I press the SMU reset button?
I've been looking at the long list of read outs in my console and system logs, but don't know how to make sense of it. My system was pretty stable until about a month ago when I tried to update to QT 7.3... at least I think that's what started a host of software problems... including lots of Safari crashes, and problems exporting Final Cut Pro movie files. So I've got what I think are hardware and software issues. But for now I'd like to focus on the hardware problem discribed above with the logic board error. I only mention the other issues in case they might all be related.
IMac :: Playing Racing Games On A 27" ?
Aug 17, 2010I'm really interested in the budget 27" iMac! I mostly internetizing, editing photos, record some music and stuff like that.. But I want to play some games too maybe.. I have a xbox 360, so most of my gaming will be done there on my 42". But I like simracing! And this is where gaming on the PC/Mac comes in...
Does anyone here drive rFactor, GTR, GTR Evo or iRacing on a 27" iMac?

Jan 16, 2010I have 2 MBP's, a Mac Pro, and a Mac Mini. On all of these I use a Logitech Trackman Wheel with. I updated the first 3 machines to Snow Leopard and the Logitech Trackman Wheel continued to work fine. I then upgraded the last MBP to Snow Leopard. For some reason the scroll wheel no longer works on the Logitech Trackman Wheel. I am able to use the ball to move around the screen, the buttons still work, but the scroll wheel won't work.

Oct 26, 2009Installed Snow Leopard on Friday, and I'm only having one problem: Firefox is ignoring the scroll wheel on my Logitech LX3 Optical Mouse. The OS and all other apps seem to be fine. I followed a tip on [URL] to reinstall the Logitech Control Center, but it didn't fix the problem. I plugged in my Mighty Mouse, but it won't scroll either. I can scroll inside a textarea, but not the main Firefox window. Scrolling worked fine before the Snow Leopard upgrade.

OS X :: Spinning Rainbow Wheel Of Death
Dec 30, 2005Why my safari freezing on me daily? I am often opening new tabs and viewing 4 or 5 pages at once, and while they are loading it seems to be stuck on the annoying spinning rainbow wheel, ultimately leading me to end the program for not responding.
View 24 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Getting Constant Spinning Wheel Of Death?
Aug 26, 2008When I start up my iMac, it runs ok for a good 3-4 minutes, then all of a sudden when I try to click somewhere, I get the spinning wheel of death for about 2-3 minutes. Then when I click somewhere else I get another spinning wheel of death for another few minutes. This goes on and on and the computer is basically unusable, unless I want to wait 30 minutes to complete easy tasks that should take 2 minutes.
I tried resetting the ram by holding apple-option-P-R while restarting, but nothing is working. I have a good 15% free on my hard drive.

Sep 8, 2009I'm currently using Win 7 on my partitioned drive since I can't get OS X to boot. Here's what I did to screw everything up: Installed SL awhile back without performing what people here are referring to as a "clean install" (I had lots of third party apps installed). Things seemed to be working fine, though Finder seemed to lag more in 10.6 than it did in 10.5. Today, however, I tried updating Parallels 4.0. It required that I reboot in order to finish the installation.
But, when the Apple logo appeared, that damned spinner just wouldn't stop. [Perhaps Parallels is "tainting" the kernel?] First, I tried reinstalling from the SL Install DVD. No luck there. I tried downgrading to 10.5 (archive and install). Still didn't boot. I even tried several volume repairs. Those didn't help either. So, now I've heard that some users are having luck booting in safe mode. But, if I try that, will I be able to transfer data to a backup drive?
OS X :: Getting Very Often A System Hang With A Spinning Wheel - How To Fix It
Oct 16, 2009My SL was working perfectly until yesterday. I got my late 08 UMBP back from AppleCare without any replacement (see post here). They just run a kind of apple test suit on an external OSX, I guess they booted from a firewire disk.
Anyway, now I getting very often a system hang with a spinning wheel. When I try to repair permissions in the Disk Utility, the progress it stays like 10 minutes on the same place at the very beginning, then spinning wheel again then the system doesn't react. I can move the mouse that's all.
OS X :: MacBook Pro CS4 Wheel Of Death - Memory?
Nov 18, 2009I changed my trusty Powerbook for a newer MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Intel with 2GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM (that's what it says) running 10.5.8, so I could run CS4 Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc etc. I just cannot work with it! Everytime I try to do anything, I have to wait while the wheel of death decides to show me a menu, scroll up the page, select and delete an item, etc. etc. you get the picture. Quark and Illustrator seem to run perfectly ok.

Jan 15, 2010I just got my imac 21.5 a week ago, and now already a problem. It was working fine until now.
I have been copying and pasting pictures and avatars from forums onto Microsoft office (office mac 2008). And tonight I got the dreadful color spinning wheel when I tried to copy more. I wouldn't go away after 10 minutes, so I restarted the computer. I reopened office, and it still had the wheel. It keeps saying it has to close. Why is this happening? Is it bad to copy and paste?
OS X :: Ridiculous Finder Lag - Getting Spinning Wheel
Feb 19, 2010In the past couple of weeks, Finder on my MacBook has been ridiculously laggy in doing just about anything. For instance, if I try to rename a file, I can usually count on having to wait anywhere from 3 to 10 seconds for the new name to appear on the Desktop. The same thing often occurs when moving files. Finder also constantly beachballs for ~5 seconds, which extends to things like save dialogs in other applications -- if I open up a Save as... dialog, the app usually hangs for awhile waiting for Finder to figure itself out. During these periods of lag, the computer is otherwise 100% responsive -- I can use other apps, I can open other apps via LaunchBar or the Dock (as long as I don't try to use Finder, which is busy beachballing), and my CPU usage sits at around 90% idle.
No problems at all except for Finder constantly beachballing and lagging. Performing disk tasks like moving and renaming files via Terminal complete instantaneously, so it doesn't look to be a problem with my disk. When I started writing this post, Finder was "Preparing to move" one file, and only just now finished. I don't recall exactly when these problems started, but it's possible it was around the time I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I imagine that reinstalling Snow Leopard would fix these problems, but I'd rather not resort to that. I've got another computer running the same software as far as I can tell that doesn't exhibit any of these problems.
OS X :: Color Wheel Pops Up When DVD Plays?
Apr 22, 2010This just happened today- I have a imac 21.5- and when I put in a DVD the movie worked but the color wheel would NOT go away. I tried everything from pressing ESC to trying to fast forward/rewind- nothing worked. I had to restart the computer by pressing the button on the back. I tried playing the DVD again and the color wheel came up. The DVD plays fine in other players.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Spinning Wheel After Login?
Sep 28, 2008I'm really stuck with this one. I have just purchased 2 Macs, an iMac and a Macbook (the white one). This problem only happens with one of them, the Macbook.
When I login using my windows account (DOMAINUser) on my iMac everything works fine. When I try the same on my Macbook however I type my password, hit Login, and then I get the spinning colorful wheel, and nothing else (I have waited a loooong time).
This is really frustrating because:
1. I can log in to a local account on the Macbook
2. the settings between both machines for Active Directory are exactly the same
The only 3rd party software I have installed on both machines is Office 2008 (the standard edition - not home & student).
This is what I have tried so far (remembering, I'm not a Mac expert, but am a PC expert):
1. Reboot
2. Removed the mobile account that was created when I logged into Active Directory, then logged in again
3. Typed a wrong password, this confirmed that the Macbook was talking to the Windows server (I can see network traffic as well)
4. Cleared the Library/Caches folder, and System/Library/Caches folder
Software :: Spinning Wheel Appears Very Often?
Oct 29, 2008I have a macbook 2.16mhz with 2gb ram mid 2007 model. It has started showing the spinning wheel for about 10-20 seconds for the last 3 months and it was getting worse and worse! and it came a time last week when almost every 5 clicks I was doing the wheel was appearing again!
First I thought I had a faulty ram and I ran memtest but everything was ok! then I reinstalled the system but still the problem exists not so ften though.
most of the times happens when I work on safari.
Software :: Rainbow Wheel And Mac Freezing
Jul 11, 2009I got my mac the summer of 2007. Recently I have been having a problem with the rainbow wheel frequently coming up every few minutes. Sometimes it goes away and others I have to restart my computer completely. My computer has also been running slower lately than usual. I don't know if the 2 have any correlation with each other or not. I did the disk repair it utilities, and also the thing with running the test with the disk, and it didn't seem to help, maybe I didn't complete them or something, I'm not sure.

Mar 4, 2012I'm using a Macbook Pro. I keep getting the rainbow wheel (2-3 times in 5 minutes) even using the simplest apps like safari or even just doing the the right-click. I have reformatted 2x and with a clean computer, I still get this problem. Sometimes the wheel goes away after about 15-30 seconds, sometimes my macbook pro just hangs and I have to manually reboot it. I have been to an authorized apple service center and they have told me there is no issue with the hard-disk, so I'm quite confused. I also noticed when I first got this issue, my spotlight was indexing. And when I finish reformatting it, it indexed again. But my primary problem lasted beyond this indexing.

Apr 17, 2012My computer stopped charging and turning on a short while after it was dropped.
I bought a new charger and my dad managed to fix it. (after i was told by a tech expert at a dodgy asian store the main processer had to be replaced) The only issue im having are. The spinny wheel apears in almost all tasks, internet , browsing flies , clicking top tab.
It only appears for about 30 seconds then goes away, sometimes freezing completely, It seems to happen less when the computer is stationary but still will happen quite often even just typing text. Logic Pro after reinstalling refuses to Open. Music sometimes freezes skips for 5-10 seconds.
I did some research and try a few things its not the CPU usage cause i been checking using that program that checks. Is there a way i can check what part is failing through software or maybe do a general clean up? since it was reformated.
Do i need to get a new computer or just a replacement part if i eliminate all other issues? Or could it be the start up drive?
