FCPX Spinning Wheel

I've been using FCPX for a number of months with few problems. Recently however with almost every move or command I try to make I get a spinning wheel... sometimes longer than others... annoyingly long. What can I do? Thanks!!!

Frequent beach ball with iMac Lately, I am getting the spinning wheel quite a bit with my desktop Mac. Sometimes, I am using an app, and then it will stop working when I want to save something. How do I know what is going on and how to fix it when I get the spinning wheel? It isn't just for a second. Rather, it seems that whatever I am doing is unresponsive. I have forced quit apps, restarted the computer, and several other things, to no avail. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

A few days after my Ventura update now constant spinning wheel Greetings all, I have had my MacBook for about 10 months, loving it so much. A few days ago I upgraded to Ventura, all was great. However I usually clam up my PC and leave it on just closed and don't need to turn it off much. I noticed that the last two days, I have started to see the spinning wheel so much. Started yesterday when I opened my laptop and the screensaver was spinning. That took 2 minutes, then every program open also was spinning. I rebooted, seemed to fix it, but happened again today. When it happens it seems like every program experiences spinning wheel. I have to then close everything and reboot for it to work normally again. I am chucking it up to upgrading to Ventura? not sure tho, but that's the only thing that has changed. Anyone else experience this? MacBook Pro M1 Max 32 GB Ventura 13 373 GB Free / 500 GB
