I’m on macOS, I’ve updated to 3.4 and my laptop is new. In the last few days, I’ve begun getting the spinning wheel. Now it happens almost whenever I move my cursor and even before I click on an action. Help!
I had something similar not in Scrivener but Firefox (my web browser). It doesn’t happen now. My machine had been running continuously for 50+ days. After a reboot normality returned.
Thanks. I shut the computer down and rebooted, and it’s fine now.
Without trying to start a flame war about how often to re-boot a Mac … Macs benefit by re-booting. Re-booting is good. I’m glad this resolve the issue for you.
When the system shutdown it does stuff. What? Dunno. Ask Apple or look on Internet. I just understand stuff is done. Then when it restarts, the computer is “fresh”.
I restart my iMac at least once a week (and sometimes more if I’m doing heavy-duty number-crunching when application space sometimes runs out), and MacBook when I’m done with it for the day. “your mileage may vary”.
