SPINNING BEACHBALL

Suddenly, I keep getting a spinning beach ball for everything I do on my computer, whether it's on-line or in Words, etc.. What happened? 😟

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
