Finder tabs get stuck on desktop when dragging out

Hello everyone
After the Mavericks update I had some trouble with the new Finder tabs feautures. Whenever I drag a Finder tab and release it on the desktop it seems like it is going to dissapear but during the animation out it freezes. I have attached two screenshots of my desktop where you clearly can see the problem. Does anyone have an idéa how to fix this?
Thank you
Yours sincerenly

Hi,
MBPro Retina, me too as well… … (and this is not the only one problem I have with the Mavericks Finder).
I fear that this is due to some "extra" application or prefs … but I have not idea which one.
I suspect this because me too, logging with another "clean" user account I have not this problem.
But neither quitting all extra applications or booting in Safe boot does not solve anything.
Annoying.

Items get stuck between desktops

Does anyone else have a problem with items getting 'stuck' between desktops so that you can see them as you move between desktops, but can't access them?
I created an e-mail by dragging a photo to the Mail icon in the dock, but nothing happened so I repeated the exercise. Still nothing happened. I then created the e-mail by copying and pasting the photo into a new blank e-mail and thought nothing more about it. But now, when I swipe between desktops, I can see the two e-mails, complete with photos but no text, straddling two desktops but can't click on them to delete them. If anyone else has experienced this,have they found a way to access the items?

I've found the answer to my own question in an answer by Captfred last year! I right clicked on the Finder icon in the dock, assigned the Finder to "None" desktops and then found lots more things that were hiding between desktops!

I've seen this a few times when Finder was assigned to "all desktops". If this is the case, right click (cntl click) the dock icon > options > assign to none.

Muse/business catalyst: opera mini / opera mobile gets stuck in desktop view

After visiting a muse site and switching to desktop view, Opera Mini continues to serve it up even when reverting the original URL:
1. Create a site site.com with a mobile and desktop view.
2. Provide link to get from mobile to desktop.
3. Open site with opera mini. The mobile view loads.
4. Click the link to get to the desktop view. Muse redirects to something like site.com/phone/index.html?devicelock=phone
5. Put in the URL for the original site, eg. site.com.
6. Now, when you go to site.com, the URL resolves to the desktop site. Incorrectly.
7. Try clearing the history and cache in opera mini -> same result.
8. Go to explicit link to phone site. Then go back to base URL site.com. Still resolves incorrectly to desktop site.
It appears Muse is not supporting opera mini / mobile responsively, please advise.

That's not quite correct. Please see step #8 above. Even if I follow a "go to phone site" link with a "devicelock=phone" parameter, it may take me to the phone site, but default navigation remains stuck on desktop, when I put in the site URL. If your understanding of the design is what you described, then the actual behavior is not in alignment. I would appreciate you passing that on to the engineers.
Even with the design you describe, there is a problem considering the following use case:
1. User views phone site on their flip phone.
2. User attempts to load desktop site. Site loads, but is not viewable on mobile device.
3. User wants to revert to phone site and does not have ability to click a link, so they go back to the referring page or e-mail which contains ... the original site URL.
After the user clicks desktop link, the site is lost to them, unless they can figure out how to (and agree to) kill all their cookies.

When i run keynote in the play mode, some times the computer get stuck, why?, when i run key note in the play mode, some times the computer get stuck, why?

when i run keynote in the play mode, some times the computer get stuck, why?, when i run key note in the play mode, some times the computer get stuck, why?

hello,
I had the same issue. This is what I was told to do.
iWork has to be removed completely to be effective when re-installing, you must use an application removal tool to do this or it wont remove every Keynote file.
Appcleaner   will do this and its free.
The following procedure has helped solve many issues with Keynote:
1 Close Keynote then use Appcleaner
2 Empty the Trash
3 Shut down the Mac, then restart and press the shift key immediately after the startup sound, then release shift when the Apple logo appears
          allow the Mac to boot up to the desktop, it will take longer then usual as the hard drive is being repaired
4 restart the Mac
5 Reinstall iWork
6 Repair permissions:
          Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > First Aid:   click on your system disc in the drive column
          and select Repair Disk Permissions
7 open Keynote and test

My iPhone 4S hangs (gets stuck or unresponsive) when deleting photos from the camera roll or use Messages app

I am now on my third replacement phone from Apple because of this issue. My iPhone 4S frequently hangs (gets stuck), without response, when I click on the trash icon to delete a photo, for about 20-30 seconds before becoming responsive again. I notice that this problem of freezing happens also when I use my Messages app for texts. There is no crash that occurs because the app responds after hanging for some time, therefore does not create a crash report to be sent to Apple. I never had this problem on my iPhone 4, and truly regret upgrading to the new device. I bought this phone for the faster processor, however I ended up with a device that is much slower and unresponsive. At the instruction of the multiple geniuses at the Apple store, I've restored the phone numerous times and set it up as a new device to no avail, and have lost app data every time. I've had three different phones now, and the genius cannot resolve my issue. they've even done what's called a DFU mode restore to restore the device firmware, yet no fix. Is anyone having similar issues? I'm starting to think its a software issue, although the apple store kept replacing my phone with a "remanufactured phone" even though I was within the 30 day return period. When I asked to get a new phone from the box, they told me it couldn't be done since I had my device replaced with a repair model already.

I suffer same. AppleCare can't seem to solve the problem. I did a restore from backup. Then I did a restore as new phone (virgin). Then I did a restore as a new device and then backed up from a stored backup (which does not replace media). To no avail. Some days it works fine, and on others it's extremely bothersome. The major symptoms:
1. It can take 5+ seconds to delete a photo.
2. It can take 10+ seconds for the camera app to activate. In many instances, the moment is long gone.
3. Switching from camera to video can take 5+ seconds.
4. Saving a photo that's been optimized in iOS 5 can take 30 seconds. Absurd.
Note that Photos and Camera aren't the only affected applications. What'sApp can have the same issues on occasion. Voice Memos don't respond like they should, either. I suspect that there's some behind-the-scenes operations with network feed to which iOS gives its full attention (contrary to the UX getting full attention is is historically the case). This makes the user interface painfully slow at times — and, as most of us here would agree — painfully annoying. This might have to do with changes designed around iCloud, but I'm not even (yet) using it.
The bottom line is that what used to be a quick, pretty good phone camera is now totally lackluster and unreliable for fast shots. Sometimes I think Apple spends too much time worrying about form and not enough about function.

FCPX gets stuck on 0% when trying to export video

Hi.
Final Cut Pro will always get stuck at 0% when I try to export a video in the "Apple Devices" format. This just started happening recently. Is there any way I can get this to start working again?

Are you editing with H.264 natively? FCPX will freeze on a "bad frame" in an h.264 cut (usually at the very beginning of the clip.) If you are editing H.264 natively, you can usually get FCPX to behave if you right click on your Event clips and Transcode > Optimized media. You should also trim off the bad frames (they are typically solid green) in the storyline.

My iphone 4 is getting stuck during gaming when sim card is inserted. Call anyone help me out to solve this problem?

My iphone 4 is getting stuck during gaming when sim card is inserted. Call anyone help me out to solve this problem?

That doesn't make any sense to me at all, unless the games you're trying to play have some sort of online connection/capability and you're in a weak signal area, thus the games can't make the required online connection. What happens when you turn cellular data off in settings: Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off.

IPhoto deletes geo data when dragged out

Hi,
when I drag a photo out of iPhoto to say the desktop, the geo data is perfectly preserved and there when reimported on another Mac.
Not so with my wife's iMac. When dragged out to the Finder, the photo loses it's geo data. That is bad.
I dragged photos out of iPhoto forever, as this method alway exports the original file. Or so I thougt. I would like to avoid the File > Export way.
We're both on Mavericks and the latest version of iPhoto (9.5).
Preferences > Advanced >Include location information for published items
is checked.
Any help is very appreciated.
Cheers
Sebastian

If the shot has never been edited - even simple things like auto-rotate - then dragging will get the original. However, if there has been any processing at all then it only gets the Preview. The preview doesn't carry all the metadata - it's actually designed for uses where that doesn't matter.
The item in the Preferences refers to images published online.
File -> Export is the way to go. That's what it is designed for.

Widgets get stuck on desktop.

What the....??
I just replaced my battery and now widgets are getting stuck in my desktop. Seriously! How do I fix this, it is so strange.

Widgets can be moved to the desktop if you accidently dismiss Dashboard while dragging the widgets from the widget "shelf." To remove these widgets, hold down the option key and click your mouse inside the widget -- an "x" in a circle should appear in the top left corner of the widget. Clicking the x will close the widget and remove it from your desktop.

Multiple finder window piling up on desktop when starting computer

Anybody knows what to do: At start-up, a pile of finder windows appear on the desktop one above the other, in the middle of the screen. When I press the option key and I click to close the top window, they all disappear. At next start-up they all come back together. Actions taken: Repair permissions, run Cocktail manager (all clean-up actions + scripts), ...

Try dragging this file to the desktop and reboot...

Connecting my iPod gets my iTunes and Finder to get stuck! Any suggestions?

Hi, ya all... I saw there are some similar threads but with no useful answers, so I'll start a new one.
A while ago, after several weeks of flawless performance, my iPod classic (120 GB) has begun giving me problems. Although I'm not sure it's it... it may be iTunes, I dunno...
You see, as soon as I connect it to my Powerbook to sync it, iTunes does start, but quickly gets to the "coloured spinning wheel", as does the Finder!
Needless to say I can't do anything about it. I can't wipe my iPod clean and start all over (since it's not recognized at all) and I can't update its software whatsoever (even if there's no need to do it, since my last update was roughly a month ago).
The iPod itself displays the "connected" screen, as everything was OK, but on the computer it's not connected at all (since both iTunes and the Finder are stuck).
Then, when I forcefully unplug the device, the computer says that I should have done it in the proper way! *IS IT KIDDING?!?!? IF IT ONLY LET ME DO THAT, I WOULD!!!! (THAT F£#%ING PIECE OF JUNK!)*
Anyway... I seem to be stuck in a rut, since the very act of connecting my iPod to the Mac seems to make it go nuts.
I already re-downloaded iTunes to the last available version, and I already did the "press 'menu' and the center button" trick on the iPod.
Now what?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Alex

Well... go figure... I tried to connect it once more, just for the sake of trying once more... and after a loooooong while the problem seemed to fix itself.
Really...
*_GO FIGURE!_*
Still I want to ask you if that thing ever happened to you and, if so, how did you manage to resolve it.
Thanks again

My wireless usb mouse freezes or gets stuck on right click/drag

My wireless usb mouse has been getting stuck on right click and/or drag, or the right click just freezes and becomes unusable. Sometimes, my mouse jumps erratically and opens anything that the arrow crosses. I can't use my trackpad because it's broken, but the trackpad itself isn't causing any problems. My system preferences for mouse and trackpad are all fine. My bluetooth is turned off in accordance with the recommendations of people having similar problems. My anti-virus programs don't detect a macro virus or any other problems. Only restarting in safe mode temporarily solves the problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Some people have suggested this may be caused by a swollen battery. However, my laptop is a somewhat more recent model and I don't have a portable/removable battery, so I can't solve the problem by taking it out and back in as some people have. Other suggestions?
Thanks!

Update: I've also tried repairing permissions and that doesn't help.
I've experimented with other mouses just to see if there'd be a difference, but the problem is definitely with the computer. All plug-in or wireless mouses have the same results. Right click still won't work.
