I have a new 27" iMac i7 with 12 gig of ram. I get the spinning beach ball when loading items such as movies into iTunes. Should this be happening? What exactly does the spinning beach mean? Does it mean I need more ram? I called Apple and they suggested I emply my Library and System Cache which I did and I still have have the spinning ball.
Thank you
