No normal that is for sure


To avoid the Q & A and Q &A process until we drill down to the cause


Download the Application Etrecheck ( External Link ) directly from the Developer.


The Application is Not a " Silver Bullet " it is only a tool to examine the Hardware / Software used on this computer 


This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.


It makes a coherent and readable inventory of both the Hardware and Software used on the computer 


The application is free or paid for added features.

Hi there's nothing to show really, just the spinning beach ball when choosing to upload through the choose file to upload function, the browser hangs, and the beachball just continues spinning, you have to force quit safari. worked fine before the last operating system update last week. interestingly though the drag and drop function seems to work, which is not ideal, but they have broken something, as the "choose file option" works fine in Firefox .

Your choice though >>


Background on Etrecheck Application 


At one time there was an  Etrecheck Application available on the Apple Apps Store.


Due to certain constrains place upon the Developer by APPLE, the developer chose to remove it from the Store and make is available Directly from them.


This specific application is well known,  on these Forums,  as a Go To for trouble shooting and avoiding all the question / answer and question / answer to finally get the issue pinned down.


It is also known and reported by Reliable Sources that,  sometimes APPLE SUPPORT has invoked using this same Developer Distributed Version of Etrecheck application to trouble shot computer issues 


Lastly - should you decide to use and post the Report now or at a later time, we are willing to have a very close look and offer some insights
