The loading-icon also known as Spinning pinwheel was located in an old Mac version at the following location:

/Library/Frameworks/OpenBaseManager.framework/Versions/A/Resources/gear.tif

In Mavericks, this location does not exist. Where (if not renamed by Apple to something weird) is this file located in Mavericks? I've checked ~/Library but it cannot find the gear.tif it used to be in the past.

    Are you referring to the asynchronous progress indicator? If not, a picture might be worth many words here... – bmike Jun 12 '14 at 17:51

    the gearicon.tiff is here (but that is not the beach ball) /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzFilters.framework/Versions/A/Resources – Ruskes Jun 12 '14 at 18:47
  • @GeorgeGarside why is it necessary editing the TIFF in to TIF ? – Ruskes Jun 13 '14 at 13:59
  • @Buscar You edited it to be TIFF, this is not correct per the last time this file existed in its location in OS X. – grg Jun 13 '14 at 14:00
  • @GeorgeGarside I would not know that since I do not have the older OSX any more. Where was it located in those OS ? Actually my search shows both so it really does not matter. – Ruskes Jun 13 '14 at 14:04
  • @Buscar It was located at the path in the question. Whilst I agree a single letter might not make a difference when reading the path, if you're actually attempting to find the file using the path with an extra t, it won't exist. – grg Jun 13 '14 at 14:07
  • @Buscar웃 The Quartz.framework is not the beach ball I'm looking for. Thanks for the search though. – Rob Jun 15 '14 at 10:18

Here is one

It is called the Wait Cursor :)

/System/Library/Frameworks/GLUT.framework/Versions/A/Resources

You can help looking for it, it does belong to the Cursor category.

  • Now I have to wait for a crash to check if that's the one. It looks different as I thought by the way.. – Rob Jun 15 '14 at 10:18
