Hello everyone,

I have just upgraded a new Mac and am having an issue with every time I select an audio file in the finder I get a momentary spinning beach ball while the computer fetches/creates a preview. It is really annoying to have to wait for 5 seconds to just drag an audio file to iTunes or whatever. How can this be turned off?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Take care,

~Shea

For the matter, as I am new to Leopard, any thing else should be turned off as well?

Two ways around this.

1. Don't use column view.

2. Go to "View Options" in the Finder (command-J) and turn off "Show Preview Column."

Hello Blue,

Thank you for this! Doing it immediately.

Wasn't there something about also turning off spotlight or iSquint or something like this as well?

Thanks for the response.

Take care,

Shea

My pleasure.
