Any Browser freezes when trying to add image finder pop-up

Since updating to Mavericks, whenever I try to add images etc in ANY Browser, the finder popup freezes when I select Desktop for the image.
I have found a work around, I created a folder, I called Images on the desktop, and when I copy any images etc into that folder, I can select the folder, and the contents to add to browser etc.
This also works if I copy image to any other sidebar folder, ie documents.
Sometimes works off desktop if I reboot imac, for a while.
This is very annoying, and has only happened since 10.9 update
I have to Force Quit on the browser, to continue using that Browser
Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Camino, all the same. (Latest versions)

I wasn't referring to this forum, but I've just tried to add image to this post , and the same problem shows.
Choosing Desktop from finder pop-up sidebar, browser freezes then I have to force quit.
Select any other sidebar item, including my folder "Image" from Desktop, works fine !!
Funnily enough, because this forum adds image into the message, I can drag & Drop image here !!!
But only in compose window, when I post message, the image disappears !
However, this dooesn't bother me.
My problem is with forums where images are added by an extra input below message body

  • Lightroom 2.6 freezes when trying to export images

    I have been using LR successfully on a Windows XP machine for several years and using version 2.6 for the past several weeks . As of a few days ago, LR would freeze when trying to export images. The export functions of 'Export with Previous' and 'Export with Preset' seem to work without crashing LR but most of my exporting needs me the ability to adjust the export settings. Any advise?

    I would guess LR only goes by drive-letter so if you've kept that the same it should be ok.  Look for something else.
    I would look in your Lightroom Preferences files to see if there is any drive letter that no longer exists.
    On Vista/Win7 my LR prefs file is in:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
    XP has something similar under C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings (or Application Data)
    If you open that file in a simple text-editor like NotePad then about halfway down (at least in mine) there are some export-related things that include the drive-letter and path on your hard-drive to various folders.  You can find it by searching for:
    AgMRUPopupList_AgExport_destinationFolderPathPrefix
    Look through those and see if any of the drive-letters or paths are wrong and look around for other paths.  The paths will contain
    or
    instead of \ because the low-level language routines LR is written with need it that way so if you change anything, keep the number of slashes consistent.
    It could very well be that there is nothing wrong with any of the paths, so another approach would be to rename or move your preferences file to see if LR will recreate it with defaults for everything, and see if that clears up the lockups. 
    Whether you decided to edit or rename your preferences file, please make a backup copy so you can put it back in case something even worse happens and you need it back.

  • Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble

    Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble with the same file. This problem is somewhat intermittent.
    I have replaced the Preview application by moving a copy from another equivalent machine - no luck.
    Did not find any preferences file trash, though I looked.
    Is there one?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Edwin,
    The .plist for Preview should be located @ ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist (where "~" is your Home folder).
    Trash the file, logout/login or reboot your computer and try opening the app and opening the offending file again.
    Let us know if any luck with finding the .plist there and opening your file?

  • System-config-printer-gnome freezes when trying to "Add" a printer

    I have the same issue that was discussed in the thread system-config-printer-gnome utility freezes when "adding" printer. Specifically, when I try to add a printer using system-config-printer gui, the window freezes and throws back the following code:
    mechoid9@ordinateur:~$ system-config-printer
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/asyncipp.py", line 196, in send_reply

    physdev = model.get_value (iter, 1)
    TypeError: iter must be a GtkTreeIter
    The solution mentioned was to use the CUPS web interface. This lets me add a printer (which is part of the solution), this is not the complete solution. I've used the utility before, and I'm comfortable with it, and I think that I should be able to use the gnome utility to add the printer if everything on my system is up to date (which it is, as of this posting). I would like to know why it doesn't work anymore (and I'm of the impression that it has something to do with how I've installed python on my system).
    I've googled the issue, and perhaps I didn't look around thoroughly enough, but I couldn't find a solution. So if somebody knows where to look I'd be glad to look there.

    I have the same problem. I noticed that it occured only after installing the following driver packages.
    hpoj-0.91-16 hplip-3.11.3-1 net-snmp-5.6.1-1 foomatic-db-engine-4.0.6_20101215-1 foomatic-db-4.0.6_20101215-1
    I did a workaround by installing the printer using the webinterface, removing the drivers again, setting the samba login details and then reinstalling the drivers.
    But this problem should really be fixed.

  • My itunes freezes when trying to add a tv show/episode to my ipod. What can I do to resolve this?

    I got a new episode from Looney Tunes and it's called 'Odor-able Kitty/Scentimental Reasons'. After the 2nd day that I bought it, I decided to add it into my ipod nano, but as I did that, my iTunes freezes. I tried to exit it out, but it was no use. And when I was working on an Internet Explorer message, I tried to go back to iTunes but it won't let me. How can I figure out how to get my episode into my iPod without damaging iTunes?

  • Safari freezes when trying to add bookmark.

    I am attempting to create a bookmark in a bookmark folder, when the window appears, I hit the confirm button. The button remains blue after being clicked on and shortly after, the Beach Ball of Death appears and the entire program must be forced to quit.
    This is not the first time I have encountered this issue. I had the same problems months back, after trying to fix the problem without success, I switched to another browser. Eventually I switched back to Safari after seeing the bookmark issue was no longer occurring, likely fixed in an update, unfortunately I cannot remember what might have fixed it, if it was fixed.
    I am using Safari 7.0.4 and running OSX 10.9.3.
    My computer is a Mid 2012 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari 5.1.1 on Lion 10.7.2 freezing when trying to add bookmark

    After quite painless update to Lion 10.7.2 and moving MobileMe to iCloud I have started normally use Safari, but quickly found that Safari 5.1.1 freezes every time I try to add bookmark. Anyone experiences the same issue?

    Could be the preferences are corrupted ..
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to add songs to 30GB video iPod

    Here's my situation exactly:
    I just bought a 30GB Video iPod with some songs and videos already uploaded onto it. After much reading, I found out how to get the songs from the iPod onto my computer so I could put them into my iTunes library. I added some songs and videos of my own to my iTunes library and tried to update my iPod. The iTunes program says do not disconnect-- updating iPod but my iPod doesn't say anything. The funny thing is that the actual iPod says do not disconnect until I open iTunes and try updating it, then the do not disconnect msg goes away on the iPod. I left my computer on for about 12+ hours straight while iTunes said Do not disconnect.. woke up the next morning and iTunes was frozen-- no new songs on the iPod. What could the issue be exactly? I have slight issues with my usb ports-- for example; sometimes they do not recognize things plugged into them (memory sticks, printers)... BUT it does recognize my iPod-- it shows up in my computer as a removeable disk drive or something, plus as soon as I plug it in the iPod says do not disconnect. I definitely need help though... I'm dying to put some songs of my own on this thing.
    Things I have tried so far:
    Deleting and installing iTunes and everything else again
    Restarting computer and iPod-- of course
    Tried plugging it into diff. usb ports

    I'm assuming the usb hardware problem may be a good possibility because I've always had problems with my usb ports. I can't get a printer to work or those Scandisk things. My assumption is perhaps u can take files from things plugged into the usb ports but you can't add files/etc to things plugged into the usb ports. I will still attempt what you told me to do. I just don't want to lose what I currently have on my iPod and be stuck with a blank iPod because I use it quite often. Maybe a new computer should be my next purchase? Thanks so much!

  • Premiere freezes when trying to add media to the timeline.

    Dxdiag:
    I start up Premiere.
    I import a file via File > Import...
    I drag the file but it doesn't move and causes the program to freeze.
    I have updated all my drivers already and this has been going on for the past 6 months but now I need the program for my next class.

    Apparently iTunes froze because of an .m3u file that was in the folder.  The icon for the .m3u file was the same as the .mp3 files and I hadn't noticed it until I attempted to play the file as a last resort to add the music to iTunes.

  • Firefox freezes when trying to upload or download a file. (Antivirus all disabled doesn't help). IE works fine. Happened with v3 and v4. Any clues?

    Firefox locks when trying to upload or download any file, size irrelevant.
    I've disabled firewall and all antivirus apps to no effect.
    This happens with v3 and v4.
    IE works fine.

    '''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
    But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
    I think my computer is breaking down. :(

  • Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7.  now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps.  any solutions?

    10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad.  itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer.  Any suggestions?

    I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
    - Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
    - un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
    - For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
    - run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this)  in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
    - reboot PC
    - Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
    - run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
    - reboot PC
    - run cccleaner
    - reboot PC
    - install itune 10.5
    Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

  • Need advise, I have purchased compressor 4.1 to compress my movie file, particularly MKV files. Problem is, that the software freezes when trying to import the 10GB MKV. Any one that can help?

    Afraid Compressor won't work with MKV. If you have access to a system running an earlier version than Mavericks, and with Perian installed you can use MPEG Streamclip or Quick Time Pro to convert to a mov.
