spinny wheel of doom

I'm trying to create a new project with IntelliJ IDEA on Windows, I get all the way to the Create a new project from template and the option for "Command Link App" has the spinny wheel of doom next to it so I can't select it. I tried just moving forward but when I get to the end I didn't have all of the boiler plate "stuff" I needed. Help?

Did you fix this? I'm having the same problem. It definitely isn't computer performance either. I regularly use Visual Studio along with Google Chrome and 20 opened tabs with no problems.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling....I still have the same issue. Everything works fine, but I can't get the template package to load....

I did the same, I've tried 32 bit and 64 bit installations.

I may need a picture. Do you mean the mac loading icon? If so then I'm pretty sure that:

A) your computer is just lagging and can't handle the IDE or B) It's just something about how you installed it and should be fixed by a reinstall.

Though I also don't completely understand your problem.
