Finder corrupted after 10.6.8 update

Updated to 10.6.8 and had problems with rolling beach ball and dock not loading at all.  Discovvfered incompatibility with having Parallels in the dock and took it out.  But in the process of discovery and several hard boots into and out of safe mode, the Finder changed permanently so that the sidebar no longer shoes devices and places etc..  I trashed the Finder .plist file and rebooted, to no avail.  even tried replacing the .plist file with a backed up file from before the change, to no avail.
How do I get a functional Finder back?

Ronald,
First I'd download the Parallels update that fixes the problem.  (If Parallels is still installed).
Then if the issue persists, trash ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Logoff and Login (or restart the finder).  You will probably need to set the options again in Finder > Preferences > Sidebar.

Captfred

  • External drive corruption after 10.8.5 update

    Hi,
    After the upgrade to 10.8.5. my Mini server at home, which had been running for months on end without a hitch prior to that, started having big problems.
    I have a late 2012 Mini, with a Sharkoon 5 disk cabinet hooked up through USB3.0. The cabinet is filled with (top to bottom) 2 * 1 TB drives, 1 * 300GBdrive and 2 * 2 TB drive.
    A few days after the update to 10.8.5 disk started disconnecting. Or rather, they would report normal sats in 'df' but they wouldn't show any files, neither in Finder nor with 'ls'. Disks 1, 3 and 4 looked mounted (albeit empty), but 2 and 5 were not. I noticed very high (red LED) activity on disk 2, disk 2 showed up corrupt in DiskUtility, so I took that one out. Now the rest came back, but disk 5 was corrupted and unusable. I reformatted, put disk 2 back and reformatted, restored and on I went.
    Couple of days later: same thing. When the corruption occurs, after some time all other disks, although still there, become unusable as well. In the end you cannot even login to the iMacs that are using this server for OpenDirectory etc. 
    After the second time I suspected hardware failure on disk 2 and removed it from the cabinet. Formatted disk 5, restored, etc. But a few day later it happened all over again, this time with disk 5 seeming to be the culprit. I took that one out as well now, and I have to wait if the rest stays stable now.
    In other words, it seems like the second of each set of identical disks is causing problems.
    So my questions:
    1) Has anyaone else seen anything similar?
    2) Would changing out the disks, so that the identical sets are not adjacent, possibly fix this?
    3) Would the latest fix release of 10.8.5 possibly fix this?
    4) If all else fails, is there a way back to 10.8.4?
    Any (other) ideas?
    TIA,
    Peter

    Try running the combo update. It contains the latest update and will sometimes fix some other problems.

  • Component store corrupt after w8.1 spring update

    hi,
    I have applied  windows 8.1 pro spring update without problems. attempted to do cleanup with
     dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
    the system comes up with messages showing component store is corrupt , error  : 14098.     I run
     dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth               which answers component store is repairable. so I run
     dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth          and after 40% complete the  result is 
        'either  the repair source cannot be found or the component store cannot be repaired'  error: 0x800f081f . the log at
          \windows\logs\dism\dism.log   shows some text written is what I think is Japanese alphabet.
    I do a system image restore disk reverting windows to its state in march, check the component store and it is healthy.
      I do the w8.1 pro spring update again.
       this puts the component store into the situation above.
      I can do a clean intstall when w8.1 pro iso is available.  any ideas?
      regards.

    Hi,
    This error code can occur when an alternative installation source is specified and one of the following conditions is true:
    The location that is specified by the path does not contain the files that are required to install the feature.
    The user who tries to install the feature does not have at least READ access to the location and to the files.
    The set of installation files is corrupted, incomplete, or invalid for the version of Windows that you are running.
    I suggest that you upload the dism.log so that we can help you analyze them.

  • PowerBook G4 finder problem after 10.4.6 update

    Anybody know a fix for this, or have this same problem? After update, when I open a new window in the finder and go to click on app or file, window disappears followed by the finder resetting the desktop.

    deeartboy,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Find the com.apple.finder.plist file in your ~Library/Preferences folder, drag it to the Desktop and log out/in or restart and let us know what happens.

  • Finder crashing after 10.4.8 update

    I have been having the same problem that other users seem to be having after updating to 10.4.8. The Finder crashes every 3 minutes or so. I have tried pulling out the Contextual Menu items, deleting the com.apple.finder.plists in each account, logging in as different users, repairing disk permissions, reinstalling the Combo Updater for 10.4.8 and nothing helped. I still get the same result - finder reloads. The crash log reads "EXCBADACCESS". Please help.

  • Finder Problems after 10.6.4 update

    Hi guys,
    Finder is starting slow, hanging some time after it does start and freezing. I've had to shut down the machine with the power button entirely too often. I'm thinking that maybe my update may have gone wrong somehow. Whaddayathink, If I reinstall the update, could things be set right?

    Your experience is shared. I, too, have the same problem with the 10.6.4: the Finder (and related core processes) would engage one of the four virtual cores (of my 2010 MacBook Pro i7, 17") to the brim, causing the computer to freeze. On another occasion, just hours later, the windowserver crashed…
    Also, unmounting external volumes 6 times out of ten would hang the computer.
    Had to force shut down the computer a 7 or 8 times yesterday.
    I should have known better than conceding to this wicked update notification!

    Since I updated the 10.9.4, It has been crashing almost every time I do something with the Finder. I have a hard disk using an older version of Maverick 10.9.0 and it does not have this problem at all.
    I copied the Finder Crash Report, I hop I have got it right.

  • Internet Accounts Preference pane corrupted after 10.9.5 update

    After loading the 10.9.5 update I noticed that my Internet Accounts preferences pane in System Preferences is corrupted. The pane shows mostly blank, but will show graphic corruption if I move the window around. It has the list of accounts even though you cannot see them. If I click on the first account location my iCloud account shows up on the right. The list under it doesn't show, but it is also present. I have gone through and trashed a few plist files that look related. I tried most of the items related to problems in this area, but I have been unable to figure out what is causing this anomaly. The only other problem I have that is related is that if I try to create a new Mail account, the account type picker has the last item with a radio button, but no graphic. If I select it, it shows an example AOL address, but the rest of the text is not correct.
    This is the add account pane in mail. I assume that last one is supposed to be AOL.
    This is the pane that shows up when selecting the blank entry. It sort of looks like a foreign language without the right font.
    I am going to try re-loading the combo pack upgrade for Mavericks to see if that can correct this. Any ideas are appreciated. Did 10.9.5 pull out the AOL option and just not do it right on my system?
    Just found a related issue. Add Account in Contacts (need to add a directory account) doesn't do anything. I had a directory account during the upgrade, but removed all accounts and re-added all back except that one since I cannot.
    Thanks

    I did the Safe Boot again and had the problem. I still have the problem after rebooting into normal mode. Looks like there is an uncaught exception when I select to add an account in the address book. There are similar uncaught exceptions when I got into the internet accounts preference pane as well.

  • Finder Crashes After 10.10.3 Update

    After updating to 10.10.3, Finder is crashing on a more-or-less random basis (I cannot detect a pattern).  Can still use the Finder, but the behavior is erratic.  Have tried removing the Finder preference file and re-starting, but that has not changed the occasional crashes.  Have heard that others are experiencing the same condition.  Anyone have a suggestion?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • ATI HD 3870 and gaming video corruption after 10.5.6 update

    I have an early 2006 MacPro 8 core in which I replaced the factory ATI X1900 graphics card with the highly recommended ATI HD 3870 card. The upgrade went smoothly and now I can play Call of Duty 2 for Mac on my 1920 x 1200 display at the highest quality of detail and shading with no problems.
    After upgrading my OSX to 10.5.6, I started having random video corruption while playing COD2. It appears as random magenta, cyan or green flashes with a screen-like texture in various parts of the display. It seems totally random. After speaking with ATI tech support and the great guys at Other World Computing where I bought the card, the determination was that the card was the problem. I sent it into ATI for a warranty repair or replacement. While waiting, I borrowed the same card from a friend and installed it. The same problem occurred.
    I think the issue now tracks back to the 10.5.6 upgrade which according to Apple provided updates to the video drivers for ATI cards. Now I don't know how to go back to the previous drivers. I checked ATI's web site and there are no drivers available for download for Leopard.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Bud James

    Backup - always - before you apply updates. Start using SuperDuper.
    Wait for 10.5.7.
    The first 8-core was 3GHz and came in March 2007. But you had the X1900 so that says it is pre-2008 (most that say "early 200x" mean Early 2008 Mac Pro).
    Drivers are part of OS X bundle, there is no discreet driver package.
    If you don't have a backup, make one, and then you are faced with fresh install or archive and install, and you may need 10.5.2 DVD (with the 8800 you can't boot from a system w/o getting a panic if it is lower than 10.5.2).

  • Can't open Mail or Finder windows after 10.10.2 update

    I have just updated to 10.10.2, and now cannot open any Finder windows, or the main Mail window.  I have tried restarting the Mac, but no joy.  What steps can I take to rectify this issue?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    1. From the application's menu bar, select
              Window ▹ Zoom
    Some applications don't have this menu command.
    2. If an external display is connected and turned off, either turn it on or disconnect it.
    3. Open Mission Control. Close all desktops except Desktop 1 by positioning the cursor over each one and then clicking the X button in the top left corner. In Desktop 1, move the missing window, if need be, so that it won't be hidden behind the Dock.
    4. Open the Displays pane in System Preferences. If there is an Arrangement tab, select it and then uncheck the box marked
              Mirror Displays

  • TM volume corrupted after 10.6.4 update

    I did update my AirBook to 10.6.4. After rebooting fsck worked for a long time with 90 % CPU. Several hours later I had to stop it. Since this moment my TimeMachine Volume is "locked" (so probably fsck did check the TM volume before). The sparsebundle doesn't show the little lock in its icon. In the Get info window it doesn't appear locked. Disk Util says the Volume is OK. DiskWarrior cannot rebuild because the volume is "locked". "chflags nouchg" didn't help.
    I'd like to preserve my TM Backups. Any idea how to unlock this sparsebundle volume?
    Thanks a lot
    Andreas

    Unless there is a very good reason to continue the current backup I would reformat the backup volume and start a fresh backup. Something has gone wrong with the SparseBundle or the drive hosting your Time Machine backup. A reformat is the most reliable way to get rid of whatever might be causing the underlying issue.
    That said you could try "grafting" the old backup into a new sparse bundle.
    Remove the broken sparse bundle from the backup volume.
    Start a new backup and allow to complete.
    Now mount both the old sparse bundle and the newly created sparse bundle.
    Delete the contents of the new sparse bundle.
    Copy and paste the contents of the old bundle into the new bundle.
    Try and backup again.
    Cheers.
