Finder in Mavericks Bounces Back to Desktop 1

Whenever I do any operation in Mavericks Finder that involves an extraneous window like a progress bar, Mavericks always pulls me back to desktop one, whether I am in full screen mode or not. It didn't do this in 10.8, so I'm surprised no one else has written about it.
I fixed it; I think. It seems that the Finder is assigned to desktop one by default, though I can't say this for sure (it was in my computer). Anyway, you can make as many Finder windows as you like in other desktops (spaces), but whenever the system makes a new automated Finder window (like a progress bar for example), you'll be switched back to desktop one (but sans the progress bar or whatever it is, leaving you looking at an irrelevant screen). For me, this behavior is quite annoying.
But I believe I found the answer, and it's very simple. Click on the finder icon in the Dock and hold, and you'll see in the popup that it's assigned to desktop one. Assign it to none. That got rid of the problem for me, and now I can watch my progress monitors in full screen mode when I'm copying and such, tully tabbed and without a glitch.
Finally, I'm not running Google Drive at the moment so I think I can rule that one out.

See if the startup disk needs repairing.  (not the same as permissions)
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in  OS X Recovery to repair the disk.

    Hey sunnyday7!
    Here is an article that can help you address this issue:
    OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
    Additional Information
    OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.

  • How do I disable rubber band elastic bounce-back when scrolling in Mavericks?

    I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks.  I hate the bounce-back when you hit a boundary when scrolling.  The terminal command:
    defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding -bool false
    does not work for me and neither does:
    defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding -int 0
    Has anyone figured this out yet? 
    I'm running a 2009 13" MBP, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM

    @Lloeki: I downloaded and installed your extension…and it actually helps (there's still some jitter present, because it doesn't totally eliminate horizontal scrolling, but it IS able to cure the bouncing effect at the top and bottom portions of the open window. It's the only solution I've come across that really DOES make a difference, so I thank you for it and encourage others to give it a try.
    Now that you've provided a successful workaround to the problem for Safari, my next question is this: Can you create some type of similar fix for this nightmarish bug so that it alleviates the problem globally?

  • Can anyone ID this problem? Finder icon started bouncing, unresponsive, now Safe Mode reboot stops 1/3 in and shuts down iMac. Virus?

    This started yesterday. I switch on the computer, go into my User account and the Finder icon was bouncing in the deck while a window flashed on about Restoring Windows though you could never click on it because...it kept flashing. The folders on my desktop disappeared so I went into a secondary user account and opened it to find a virus scan. That user account had no issue with the bouncing Finder icon. I downloaded ClamXav and ran it but that being a rarely used user account, it found nothing infected. I went back in in Safe Mode and was able to see my invisible files but the Finder being unresponsive, I could basically only look at them. Also, I couldn't activate ClamXav after downloading it in that user account. All it did was allow me to see my files.
    This morning, while I switched on the computer the Safe Mode came on without me holding down the Shift key. Sadly, it didn't get past the third of the little progress bar before shutting down the computer. This happened trying to open either user accounts. I'm shut out. I'm so shocked this happened. I called the ISP and he said everything was normal at his end, naturally in spite of a lot of freezing and not allowing more than one device on wifi at a time. This is an upgraded Internet service after moving to a new place. Otherwise for the few moments it lights up to show me the two users at log in, nothing is visually wrong.
    If this has ever happened to anyone, please enlighten me. I've called a Mac repair shop and expect to bring my iMac in. It's barely two years old. : (

  • Google bounces back mail containing Pages document

    In the upgrade to Maverick and the Pages (5.0?) upgrade, mail being sent to a gmail account are consistently being bounced back, with Google claming that it almost certainly contains spam.
    In earlier searches for answers, Google claimed that it was a defect in Apple's product; not THEIR fault, in otherwords. But it is still ongoing.
    How and when will this issue be resolved?
    Below is the bounceback message:
    Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred
    Diagnostic code: smtp;552-5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential issue. Please visit http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answe to review our message content and attachment content guidelines. k8si3219220paw.102 - gsmtp

    I think it's got to do with the fact that the new .pages files are actually packages. (Right click on the file in the Finder and you'll see an option to "Show Package Contents.") Google and others (Mozy, for instance) aren't recognizing the packages as vaild files, as far as I've been able to learn.
    I fear that both sides, Apple and the others, are going to simply point fingers (i.e. not my problem) and nothing will get done.
    The new files are being referred to as the unified file format.

  • Can`t drag and drop foto into pages document, it bounces back

    trying to drag and drop a foto from iphoteo to pages document, it doesn`t work properly and steady.
    Eventually it bounces back. I repeated to do so few times, sometimes it works into an blank page or into a fotoframe, sometimes it doesn`t.
    I checked camera type and other informations of the pictures,seems to be not part of the problem.
    I can drag and drop fotos to the desktop without problems, all jpg.
    I did drag and drop a few pictures succsesfully onto the same document or into the same fotoframe and suddenly, again it does not work.
    Any help?
    Andi

    Try making a direct shortcut to the Organizer and then the Editor.
    You should then be able to drag and drop on to the desktop icon.
    On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails - could be different in PSE5 but look for the exe file)
    Select it and click OK
    Click next
    Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
    Then click finish
    You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
    You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application.
     

  • Old typo in WGM causing bounce backs

    Hi,
    We run our mail from an xserve.
    We set up a user (jonna)and published her name, but she should have been joanna.
    We soon realized our error and changed the name in the info section, as her details in the basic section where correct.
    However, when anyone sends an email to the group she is in, they get a bounce back saying it could not be delivered to jonna. She is receiving emails to her correct address.
    I have looked everywhere, gone through inspector with a fine tooth comb and cannot find an entry for jonna. I have checked than the address is not saved in collected address's.
    Do you know what I can do to resolve this issue?
    Much thanks, Jim

    Jim,
    Have you used the WGM Inspector? That can be turned on in the WGM Preferences. From there, you can look at the textual information associated with an account. You find be able to find so references to the old name in there.
    Just curious, did you change the initial account in WGM? If so, there is no way to change the first short name associated with an account. That would explain the behavior you are seeing. The best way to insure this isn't the problem is to note all the settings for that account, delete it and create another account with joanna preserving the saved settings.

  • Sudden increase of Bounce Backs

    Everyone in our company has suddenly seen an increase in Bounce Back email messages. I've been reviewing most of them and they usually say "Host or domain not found". I then usually try to ping or telnet into one of these domains and most of the time the domain DOES respond.
    telnet mail.teltec.fr 587
    The only change we made to the servers recently was to install a Barracuda Spam Firewall and then changes the DNS mx record to point it instead of directly to our server.
    So why is our system having such difficulty sending out these emails? Below is a sample bounce back:
    ---- START BOUNCE BACK ----

    Try to deactivate the Barracuda firewall (if possible) and then test the mail service again. If it works, the problem may have its origin at the Barracuda box. Not sure if you find an expert here, but you may post its configuration for trouble shooting.

  • Unexplained bounce backs from Ironport

    We have a C10 device and last week we receved instanct bounce backs from the Ironport when trying to send to several different external email addresses at different domains.
    The bounce backs were being generated by our internal Ironport itself instead of the destination email server so it is as if the email never left our company.
    After serval days and no configuration changes on the Ironport I sent several test emails to these external domains. They are being recevied okay without any problems. Can any one explain what is going on here and how the problem recitifed itself?
    Thanks for your help!

    What may be happening:
    It could be that your mailserver(e.g. Exchange) handed the mail off to the Ironport appliance, who took responsibility for the message. Then, after any last outbound scanning and appending disclaimers, the Ironport appliance did a MX lookup to deliver the message and then upon trying to deliver the message to the appropriate destination, the Ironport MTA received a SMTP 5## error code.
    Upon receiving the SMTP 5## error code, the Ironport appliance will consider this undeliverable to the destination and then turnaround and bounce it back to the original sender, which may be what you're observing.
    Where to go from here:
    It would be useful if you still have those bounce messages that were generated by the Ironport appliance. You can look up the original sender and intended recipient or subject line through the mail logs and find the corresponding timeframe when the Ironport MTA tried to establish a connection to the destination host. This will show up as an ICID event where the Ironport tried to connect to the destination host. I'm surprised that the bounce message didn't provide some info on the cause of the bounce.
    References:
    1. findevent is a good tool on the command line that you can use to search for messages.
    How can I determine the disposition of a message using the mail logs?

  • Spoofer email Bounce backs create invalid account on server

    Every now and then one of those bottom feeding spoofers starts spoofing our domain name with a random account name to send out scads of spam - and of course the inevitable slew of bounce backs from the unfortunate "spamees" then flood our server. Fortunately I do use the excellent Frontline spam defense which helps tremendously.
    What I am finding really odd is that these spoofers sometimes use a username of the variety "<[email protected]>" and for whatever reason this actually creates(?!) an account name in our email directory on the server?! (Acl privileges are l,r,s (any))
    I have analyzed the traffic and there is absolutely no outbound mail going from our server with this username from our server (i.e. our server has definitely not been cracked)- I further verify this by checking the IP address of initial sender from some of the bouncebacks which have ALL info of the email transaction and it is definitely the work of a spoofer.
    The "account" is relatively easy to delete with Siradmin - create an acl for the administrator with all privileges and then delete the account. There is nothing in it.
    However I am just wondering if A) This odd "feature" (read bug!) is something that is known, and B) How can I possibly stop this strange behavior from happening again.
    Any help or advise would be most appreciated.

  • Backing up Desktop items in Time Machine

    Are you trying to search for it, or navigating via the Finder? (It's a system file, so won't show up with the default search.)
    Open a Finder window. Select your hard drive name (probably +Macintosh HD+ ). There should be several folders at the "top" level, including Applications, Library, System, etc.
    You want Library. Inside it is a Preferences folder containing com.apple.TimeMachine.plist

  • Not receiving inbox messages & one email I've sent keeps bouncing back bogging up my i

    Hello.
    I have a new MACBOOK PRO and I love it BUT.....
    I have been having one specific email bounce back into my inbox (recovered messages section) over 1,000x's a day.
    I keep deleting the messages and emptying the trash to try to stop it but its not working!!!
    I contacted the person who i sent the email too and told them what was happening. Their response was, "its not coming from this end, check with your web guy..." UGH!!!
    I am now not receiving any new incoming messages and I have had to result in using my iphone to check my inbox, every  day!!
    How do I fix this problem? OR......Should I just make a Genius appointment?? LOL
    Thx! Nikki

    Hi Nikki,
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.
