BUG: Renaming a file causes Finder to restart - after Update 2008-008

BUG: Renaming a file causes Finder to restart. This started occurring after installation of the Security Update 2008-008. I can't rename files or folders.
Is there a solution? A workaround? A software update? I repaired permissions but that didn't help.

Here's an excerpt of the crash dump referenced in the Console utility application.
Crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Finder.crash.log
The first few lines shows that LockRenameUnicode is called when renaming the file, then the Finder crashes. What is causing this crash in Finder in Mac OS X 10.4.11 after installing the Security Update 2008-008?

Dragging files cause finder to crash and restart

I've noticed when I'm moving files either from a folder to attach on a e-mail or moving files from one folder to another finder crashes and immediately restarts. I can then move the files no problem until I move on to another task and come back to move a file.
I can copy or cut and paste files fine it just seems to be a problem when you begin dragging the file.

I have the same problem, had Total Finder installed thinking it was the problem. Now with a fresh install its the same.
It happens when i haven't used Finder for a while, trying to move a file and Finder just restarts.
I also happens when my LaCie USB 3.0 discs is starting up from sleep.
Looking in the activity log errors i see:
21/10/14 11:33:47,859 ReportCrash[6730]:
com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.crashreporter.writereport.crash
com.apple.message.signature: Finder
com.apple.message.signature2: com.apple.finder ||| 10.10 (10.10)
So lost for clues.
Was no problem under Developer versions nor the GM3.

Stop requiring system restart after update

I turn on my machine. Acrobat says there's an update available. I let it update. Then I get a dialog saying:
"You must restart the system before using Acrobat. Click Restart Now to restart automatically".
Come on! It's 2010... Requiring system restart after update is sooo 1990's...
Or put another way, I cannot remember when another app required system restart after updating. Only Acrobat does this nowadays. Please, stop this madness!

While Adobe doesn't deliberately try to annoy users,
it does not deliberately try to remove documented annoyances either.
There are still bugs in Acrobat 9 which have been documented for years, and no one seems interested to fix them.
Serious flaws ... like crashes and corruption of PDF files so they cannot be saved. Hours of work lost.
Every 3rd time I select the Crop icon, I can expect Acrobat 9.4.5 to crash.
There is no excuse for an app to require full reboot on update. C'mon, spend some time at
Microsoft Tech Support and figure it out. Acrobat is also the last application I can remember
requiring reboot.
I turn off Auto Update on both Acrobat and Windows.

Finder(?) problem after installing security update 2008-008

I hope someone can help with this problem:
After I installed Security update 2008-008 the finder(?) has begun to behave irratically.
Whenever the mousepad is clicked, the dock slides off to the left and the click is not registered by whichever application I am in. Mostly menus are affected. I now have to click the application and menu item several times before the click is registered.
Safari is particularly badly affected with the pointer jumping around the screen when trying to copy an url (dock keeps sliding to the left), page back/forward doesn't work - url links within web pages are not recognised. Furthermore, when using yahoo mail, menus like 'send' and 'save' are not recognised.
Any suggestions how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Andrew

HI Andrew,
This is most likely caused by some 3rd part APP or kext that is now out of date.
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then test your problem there.
Now reboot in regular mode, if the problem didn't happen in Safe Mode, but does in Regular mode, See if there is anything relevant in...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
Also look in in Your Accounts Pref Pane Login Items window.

Device not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password

how to track my iphone5 that is already lost and when i sign in icloud my lost device is not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password. i also enabled icloud and imessage and facetime in that iphone using my current apple id that i used in icloud. pls help me

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

What cause searching network problem after updating iphone 6 from iOS 8.1.2 TO iOS 8.1.3?

what cause searching network problem after updating iphone 6 from iOS 8.1.2 TO iOS 8.1.3?

SSince Apple does not support downgrading the iOS I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

Mac won't restart after updating to OS X Mountain Lion

Mac won't restart after updating to OS X Mountain Lion. Please help?

Like what happens? Is it just spinning?
If you've waited sufficiently long (say 10 minutes) you could just hit the power button which will do the trick. A little more gentle would be to open a terminal window (if you can) and type 'sudo reboot' (without the quotes) and enter your password when it asks. That will do it too.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Installed latest iOS on my iPad mini, it got stuck while restarting after update. It is still in that stage even after 7 hours.

installed latest iOS on my iPad mini, it got stuck while restarting after update. It is still in that stage even after 7 hours.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
