Beach ball? What does that mean?
- dave7 7y agoIt's the Mac equivalent of Windows' old-style "hourglass" or more modern "spinning blue circle". Basically means "become unresponsive, perhaps eventually needs process killed"
- bosie 7y agoOn macosx that means your OS or at least the process is unresponsive. The mouse cursor then becomes a 'beach ball': https://cdn.macpaw.com/uploads/images/spinning-wheel.png https://cdn.macpaw.com/uploads/images/spinning-wheel.png
