Spinning Beach Ball appears all the time
This recently started on my Macbook Air - the spinning beach ball pops up nearly every 30 seconds making the computer almost unusable. I have restarted it and the problem didn't change. I've seen some other posts about this that request information from Etrecheck to help diagnose the problem. Here is the check on my computer:
Any ideas?
Thanks!
