Finder crash-reboot loop, effecting only 1 user!
My primary account is having issues.
When i log in, finder keeps crashing, and rebooting, almost instantaleously. I get the beachball-of-doom whenever i mouse over on the desktop.
The dock works fine. I can launch applications and such. The apple in the corner works aswell, aslong as i'm in an application. But meanwhile, Finder quits and reboots in an endless cycle in the background.
This only effects my one user account.
I ran catalogtree stuff, and all the disc checks, seems fine.
Suggestions to fix? Thanks!
Sounds like you might have a corrupt preferences file. Try moving the finder preferences for that user somewhere else.
If you have to use the terminal, here's the command:
sudo mv /Users/shortname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist /Users/shortname

80GB Ipod Classic stuck in a reboot loop; restoring only delays the problem
Hey there,
During the last week or two I have had to restore my iPod 3 times now, due to a condition where the ipod will boot up (showing the apple logo), reach the main menu screen, then after 5 or so seconds, it will reboot, repeating the process.
I restored the ipod by putting it into disk mode, then restoring it with itunes, but after a few days the problem occurs again.
The only causes I can think of would be upgrading to itunes 9, or ending the iTunesHelper process to allow me to use the device as a portable flash drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as it is beginning to become quite the annoyance.well first of all, this situation *****,,,
i just had it yesterday after writing the ipod with new firmware,,.,.
ok but thats me,
so what you need to do is
1st , Check if it's restarting and restarting and restarting.......
ok
2nd if it is,, good(i guess),, its not that of a bad thing so don't worry...
3dr when the apple logo comes out and the light comes out,, wait,, and after the i pod shuts down and prepares for restart hold the"center button or the select button whatever you want to call it and hold play at the same time!!!!!!"
4th hold for some seconds!!!
5th wait until the screen saying,, (Ok to Disconnect) comes out and then connect it to your computer!!!
and restore everything,.,.,.,.
it ***** but hey
now,,,, tips
never disconnect the cable right away after a restart has occurred for update(very important)
hope this helps
if there is something else going on besides what i just explained in first step. im sorry but i don't know... i haven't had the problem yet,,so not getting into that , that much.
thanks and i hope this helps -
Finder Crash and Relaunch Loop
Firstly, let me state that I have read the other threads regarding this issue and followed them to the point where I feel this is almost fixed; I do have more information and perhaps my problem is unique so please bear with me and forgive me for starting a new thread...I just don't want this to get buried under another solved issue for someone else.
The issue: After shutting down my computer normally and starting up again, I'm presented with the issues everyone else describes as the Finder crash/relaunch loop. It comes up witha message for restoring the windows or not. The standard error all the other threads describe.
Troubleshooting it:
Removed the com.apple.finder.plist first; this got rid of the "restore windows" dialog but the issue remained with Finder restarting over and over and no items on my Desktop were showing.
After booting into Recovery mode and using the Disk Utility to verify/repair the permissions I restarted. This did not do anything toward solving the issue and the "restore windows" dialog was back; presumably the preferences file only fixed this temporarily or something until a restart.
Created a new user account; this account works great! I have no issues with it whatsoever, leading me to believe that the OS is actually fine...it's just some file on my user account that's corrupted or something like that.
Following yet another thread I moved ALL my files from my desktop to another folder (Documents but it really doesn't matter where as long as it's not the Desktop). I did this via the terminal using the move command -- see http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060308010111601
After moving the files, I wento ~/Library/Preferences again and removed com.apple.finder.plist and HOORAY IT WORKED! Temporarily, that is.
Now I'm stuck because if I don't have anything on my Desktop it works. I thought maybe it was because I was moving the corrupted file (maybe due to a font like some threads suggest) back to the Desktop but this happens even if I simply create a new folder on the Desktop from scratch.
So now the issue is: what is going on with my Desktop and why whenever I have a folder/file on it does it cause Finder to go into a crash/relaunch loop?
Thanks for reading and hopefully someone can help with this strange issue. Thanks!As with what ususally happens when I post a detailed forum question I've figured the issue out myself right afterwards.
After doing the above steps I then removed the .DS_Store file on the Desktop. I suppose that's what was corrupted because now I can move files to the Desktop and create new folder, etc. without any issues.
Hopefully this helps someone but if it's redundant feel free to delete it; I'm not seeing the option to do so here. -
FInder crash when viewing Preferences folder
I am getting a repeatable Finder crash when scrolling through my User/Library/Preferences folder. This happens when in Column view. Finder does not crash when in Icon or List view. I did get one crash when in CoverFlow view, but it took a lot of scrolling back-and-forth to get the crash in that mode.
The accounts on this new iMac were migrated over from an older 2x2 G5 (10.3.9) Not sure if that would have any bearing on this problem, though.
Thanks,
Jimtry resetting finder preferences and removing the .DS_Store file for that folder.
close all finder windows and run the following terminal commands
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to quit'
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.DS_Store ~/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to launch'

Random iPhone crashes and reboot loop after iOS 7 upgrade
Hi all
Since I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7, I suffer from random crashes/resets, where my iPhone reboots and enters a reboot loop (Apple logo, black screen, reboot, Apple logo, black screen, reboot, etc) that I can only exit by restoring the device (resetting doesn't help).
Some more information
a) The device: iPhone 4, 32 GB, has never been jailbroken, and has never shown any similar issues before.
b) The crashes/reboots: I haven't been able yet to find a pattern when and why they happen. I had reboots when searching for an app, when pluging in the wall charger, when entering the access code, and even when doing nothing at all (iPhone in my pocket). The only constant is the reboot loop after the crash.
c) What I tried so far: I restored the device several times, using normal restore (with the iTunes logo) and DFU mode (black screen). After that, I recovered from a recent backup (takes some hours), and everything is ok again - for some hours, until the next crash and reboot loop. I also set up the device as a new phone, and there it seems stable, so I exclude a hardware issue. I tried quite a few of the advices that I found when googling for reboot loops: reset all settings (this led to an another immediate crash and reboot loop), disable app background refresh, etc.
I've been using this device for my daily business. With the current instability (and the couple of hours it takes to bring it back to life again), it became more or less useless. I wish I could downgrade again (I know that I can't). My assumption is that either iOS 7, or some incompatible app or some corrupt setting is causing this situation. But I don't know how to proceed to isolate and eliminate the issue. I really would like to avoid setting up everything from scratch again.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!All,
First of all, sorry for my half-finished post above. While typing, I was interrupted, and by reflex I hit CMD-S. Unfortunately, the stupid interface of Apple's support website interpreted that as a submit command. I tried to complete my text with the update function, but when finally hitting the submit button, I got an error message, and all my updated text was gone... No way to bring it back, and also no way to delete the half-baked posting. Quite frustrating.
Now, to complete what I started above:
In my case, the problem definitely had something to do with the springboard process (an iOS system 'app' that manages the iOS homescreens) and the watchdog process (another iOS system 'app' that monitors certain things on your phone and that can initiate a restart when it thinks the phone is frozen). In the folder '/Users/<your account>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<your phone>' I could see what caused my crashes; they were all 'stack+SpringBoard' and the reason in these crash log files was 'Watchdog timeout'.
The following two forum posts helped me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1676330?start=30&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20794982#20794982
I'm quite sure that my issues had to do with the 'application map' that is mentioned in the above posts. So far, Ive been thinking that it was just too large (as in the case of Andi1996 [second link above]), but jmbladen's observation seems not to support this. So, the absolute number might not the source of the problem, but I still assume that something went wrong with my application map during the upgrade from iOS6 to iOS7. I remember having stability problems before, as soon as all my 10 home screens were full of apps and newly downloaded apps would generate additional pages (only visible via iTunes). Considering that there are some fundamental changes to how we can organize apps within folders in iOS 7, it can well be that the springboard process just wasn't able to cope with my application map correctly within the 120 seconds before the watchdog process restarts the phone. My massive cleanup action must have fixed this somehow.
@jmbladen: I'm only using iCloud for the 'find my phone' functionality, so all the backup & recovery was done via iTunes from my local harddisk. And there was no temporal pattern for my crashes before. You might suffer from the same symptoms, but probably not because of the same cause.
My advice for anyone affected by random crashes and a reboot loop is to check out the directory with the CrashReporter logs mentioned above to find out what app or process causes the crash. If it's the springboard and watchdog problem, then you should try to clean up your home screens (from iTunes). Maybe the absolute number of apps is not that important, but make sure that you reduce the number of screens. And then sync and backup before you start using the phone again. In my case it helped.
Hope this helps someone else too.
P.S. Once you know the right keywords to search for, you find forum postings back to 2008 / iOS 2 describing exactly the same problem. This reboot loop is a very nasty issue, and it is hard to understand that Apple still hasn't been able to address this, or at least provide some better help on how to get out of it again. -
Finder crash loop in Mavericks
I am stuck in a Finder crash loop. Even safe boot gets a crash as well. I performed the hardware test but no errors were found. After some online searching I discovered it might be associated with a third party software, Docker. I can't remove it because I can't access anything due to the crash loop. I was able to access my drive from another Mac and in a panic tried to see if I could delete Docker from there but the operation could not be completed, error code -8072. Any ideas?

How to fix iPad 3G frequent crashes and going to reboot loop
II'm having problems with my iPad 3G iwi-fi it always crashes while using and sometimes it goes to a reboot loop. I tried everything reset, pressing the home and power buttons, and even restored it many times but still the problems can't be fixed. Is there someone knows what to do?
If anyone has faced this issue and was able to fix it, I am hoping from you to share your fix.
If no fix is there, so i can take it to be fixed since it is not under warranty, and wehre i live it will cost a lot for fixing -
IMac crashed while updating today and I can't find my reboot disk
Hello, I have an iMac that was purchased Feb 2014 and when it was trying to install the latest update today (March 12, 2015) it crashed. Like, I can't get it to boot at all. unless I have the reboot disk. The problem is, I can't find my reboot disk. I have my reboot disks from my 2 MacBook Pro's and from my MacBook Air, but I can't find my iMac disk.
This happened, of course, 6 days after my warranty has expired so I get no support from Apple...geeze. Any suggestions and/or helps would be GREATLY appreciated.
CameronWhile in the recovery mode, select the Terminal app from the Utilities menu, and copy & paste the following lines, one at a time, followed by hitting the return key. After the first, you should get a Password: prompt. Carefully, type in your admin password, since nothing shows on the screen, and hit the return key:
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
sudo chmod a+rx /volumes/*
These should unlock the HD. -
Finder in crash-relaunch-loop after installing Quicktime 7.1.5
hi,
after installing Quicktime 7.1.5 (using all the prescribed precautions!) and restarting, Finder keeps hanging in a in crash-relaunch-loop.
I tried everything: Replace Finder.app with a backed-up version; delete com.apple.finder.plist: Finder keeps crashing!
I attach the crash-report.

Trouble migrating users/ sys crash/reboot cycle
Where to start...
Brand new Mac Pro. Trying to migrate two users from the old G5.
First attempt: Migration wizard crashes and starts an endless restart cycle. (machine keeps restarting over and over)
Second Attempt: Boot from install disk and erase and re-install OS 10.5 try once again with migration wizard. Same result. I am able to log in even after force quitting machine and run software updates. Still the machine crashes(restarts repeatedly) when switching users or for any random reason.
Third Attempt: Boot from install disk and erase and re-install OS 10.5. Create new user account, run software updates, fix permissions, Try to migrate just one user. Migration assistant crashes and restart cycle begins. Force Quit.Hum... trial and error are often the best.
You can use BootCamp to put XP Pro on your boot drive and use a partition. That would let you run XP Pro natively. Fusion can be used by itself (seamless) and is just a Mac disk image. Or it can 'adopt' the native (BootCamp) partition.
So that is one project of its own, once you have things settled and working.
Before you do, I would keep the OEM drive as is, I would do that before even using Migration Assistant so you have a solid system you can use 'just in case.'
Not a fan of mirroring. I prefer diligent backups, and redundant. Plus Time Machine.
Your problems now could be from trying to use Migration Assistant.
I would say keeping your "home account" on another drive works for some, and then you just have the OS and applications on one drive to deal with. If anything happens to the system, your data isn't impacted. And it can help performance for some.
Backup any files you have now though, and either wipe the boot drive clean (erase) and reinstall the system, or use the Archive and Install. That should solve the problems introduced by MA and hopefully avoid the instability.
Booting from an alternate drive would let you easily repair the boot drive if needed, rather than use the DVD.
I would keep it simple for now.
So first, try putting OS X on another drive.
Photoshop: you want to have a scratch drive and memory. Audio, sometimes a mirror if you do live recording work and cannot afford to suffer even a (rare) drive failure. Though I feel backups and Time Machine might be enough.
And because of how Photoshop runs, a fast boot drive and having a scratch drive are paramount.
For performance, a stripped RAID also helps.
There are a couple pdf guides to storage and performance up on MacGurus, one addresses Photoshop specifically. http://www.macgurus.com -
IPhone stuck in reboot loop - too many apps installed?
Hi guys!
Starting some months ago, I've had nothing but problems with my iPhone. However, I've been dealing with most of these or even solved them.
But now I'm stuck on a reboot loop for a few days and don't know what to do.
When did it start? I think it was in May when I first got panic.plist, ResetCounter and SpringBoard-CrashLogs under "Diagnostics and Usage". Following this, everytime I rebooted my phone or the battery was empty, it could take some more minutes than normal for my iPhone to boot. This loading time increased and increased, in October it once took more than two days for my iPhone to reboot. I now have really thousands of those ErrorLogs. The Apple support on the phone couldn't help me either. Additionally, the phone performed some cruel changes I can't explain: Once the language was changed, once the photo gallery had to be restored (the iPhone did that on its own).
However, sometime in November the iPhone crashed, and I was already thinking that it would now last a few days until I could use it again. But somehow it was done within 15 minutes. Without any error or reboot loop. The last two months I haven't had any problems with this until the battery was empty three days ago.
Since then, I have had the iPhone plugged in so the battery doesn't get empty and it's stuck on the bright Apple logo. After about 210 seconds the logo gets dark, then the screen is completely black and it's starting the same procedure again. Sometimes I get the vibration, sometimes the loading circle (white wheel of death!), but everytime it just starts over again.
I am pretty sure this problem appears because I have more than 1300 apps installed (yes, this is a very huge number, but I remember Steve Jobs saying that, with the folders in iOS 4, it would be possible to have a few thousand apps installed), 4000+ photos, and so on. I am pretty sure it's not a hardware, but a software problem. In detail, it's about the SpringBoard. The iPhone 4S only has 512MB RAM, so it's hard for it to load 1300+ app icons into its memory (which it has to because the SpringBoard has to run without any lags). Only in some cases it's able to boot that up, but I have absolutely no idea which cases these are and why it has run well for the last two months, but beginning with the new year stopped to work.
Furthermore, the panic.plist entries all say that the problem is a watchdog timeout. Apple's iOS seems to allow the devices only to take up to two minutes (always around 120 seconds in the CrashLogs) to boot up, then probably another 120 seconds to launch the SpringBoard process (which explains the watchdog timeouts in the SpringBoard-CrashLogs).
I will not restore the iPhone because I unfortunately haven't backed up for a long time and there have been many data changes since the last backup.
So altogether, I tried to collect all the information I know here, but that's really not enough. Apple unlikely wants to help me, the phone support was really nice, but even asked his superior, who couldn't help either.
My questions to you folks now are: Do you have any more information regarding panic.plist's, watchdog timeouts or reboot loops?
What would your advice be? Any chance to get onto my data and back it up? Or is waiting the best solution?
Would it be better to try several hard resets, or let the battery run empty and start the whole process again, or just let the phone plugged in so it tries to reboot on and on until it's hopefully successful sometime?
And: Would it maybe increase the loading time if I would take the SIM card out of the iPhone, so the chance to have an successful try would be higher?
Note: I am still using iOS 5.1.1 because I am completely sure that I'd have to buy an iPhone 5 to run 1300+ apps on iOS 6.Okay, some more information about this.
Apparently there is a 'watchdog' that listens whether the iPhone's software responds or not. If it doesn't, it forces a restart, and also creates a panic.plist entry (under Diagnostics). Unfortunately the responding time is only 120 seconds. The problem I have now is the so called 'Application Map'. To ensure a smooth browsing through the different screen filled with apps, this map is regenerated everytime the user installs a new app or deletes one. Because I have more than 1300 apps installed, generating this Application Map usually takes more than two minutes. I can only hope that sometime in the next days my iPhone will be able to do this in less than 120 seconds (like it has done that several times before).
I still can't explain why everything had been working great during the last two months. I have probably installed some new apps, but also deleted other ones, so the number of total apps didn't really increase heavily.
However, I've read about some possible solutions to this problem (without restoring - which would solve the problem only temporarily anyway):
Hard-resetting the iPhone until the screen is completely black, then wait a few minutes, then turn the device on. It's possible that this has to be repeated several times, but for the user who posted this it resolved the issue.
For all the (in this case lucky) guys with a jailbreak: SSH into the iPhone, then temporarily move the watchdog located under /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/mobilewatchdog.bundle to a different folder, the iPhone will boot up after a few minutes. Then just move the watchdog back. It's a shame that apparently jailbreak users can resolve this issue, while normal users can't.
I also want to note that this problem has been appearing since iOS 2, which came out more than four years ago. It would be really no big deal for Apple developers to change the 120 seconds to e.g. 300 or even more. I've found hundreds of threads, not only here, where users complain about exactly the same issue. I don't have any hope that an Apple employee will ever read this, but if so, please keep that in mind. I don't understand why Apple has done nothing to solve this issue.
However, if you have any more ideas, please reply here. If there's anyone around here who has managed to successfully install more than 1300 apps on his iPhone (or iPod touch), please post that. -
Mavericks Finder crashes - Without Google Drive
Hi Everyone,
So - I decided to upgrade to Mavericks last weekend, finally sick of being unable to use a couple of apps that I REALLY wanted, which no longer support Lion.
Thinking that I had heaps of time on Sunday, I started the upgrade and left my 2010 MBP to itself - having recently gone through the same process on our 2007 iMac, I figured that it'd pretty much look after itself.
And so it did, so much so that I actually sort of forgot about it and only came back to it late Sunday. Running short on time then, I gave it a cursory glance and confirmed that I could login and see the more important files to be used for work Monday morning, so I didn't worry too much, that is until I had played around a little.
As it turns out, finder crashes relatively frequently, since the upgrade. At first I thought that the problem might be related to permissions, having seen upgrade of other OSs go wrong as a result of such things, however, I noticed that the mainstay of the issues seemed to be tied to my home directory, so that suspicion quickly went out the window again. Basically, whenever I open finder in my home directory, finder crashes... I can use terminal to go to a sub-directory and open it and, most of them, work fine. The biggest culprits right now, seem to he ~ and /Users - both of which cause finder to crash.
So I thought that perhaps, there was an issue with my finder preferences. I did a bit of googleing and found a number of comments suggesting that I clear out .DS_Store and the preference files - I have done this, with and without reboots/logout/restart of finder - none of it made a difference.
Next, I thought that I'd give it a try in safe-mode just to see what'd happen. So I rebooted in safe-mode and logged in - with the shift key held down - I opened finder and had JUST enough time to get excited, before it decided - once again - to crash on me.
Several of the finder crashing articles that I found, seemed to suggest that google drive could be the culprit, but as I haven't got it installed, I figured that it was worth a try to get rid of Skydrive and Dropbox in stead... While I was at it, I cleaned out some old kexts and Launch stuff that I wasn't using anyway - might as well try to clean up and hope for the best. After a reboot, I went at it again, with quivering fingers... Same result, I open a finder window to my home dir, get a flash then a crash.
In a final fit of frustration, I turned off the Spotlight indexer and the Timemachine backups - none of it has made an ounce of difference... Just ot make extra sure, I even created a new user account... The user logs in fine and everything is beautiful, until I go to /Users and get another crash, so it definitely seems to be directory related somehow.
This is the output from the crash - I'm hoping someone can spot something here
Thanks, in advance.

14Hi Everyone,
So - I decided to upgrade to Mavericks last weekend, finally sick of being unable to use a couple of apps that I REALLY wanted, which no longer support Lion.
Thinking that I had heaps of time on Sunday, I started the upgrade and left my 2010 MBP to itself - having recently gone through the same process on our 2007 iMac, I figured that it'd pretty much look after itself.
And so it did, so much so that I actually sort of forgot about it and only came back to it late Sunday. Running short on time then, I gave it a cursory glance and confirmed that I could login and see the more important files to be used for work Monday morning, so I didn't worry too much, that is until I had played around a little.
As it turns out, finder crashes relatively frequently, since the upgrade. At first I thought that the problem might be related to permissions, having seen upgrade of other OSs go wrong as a result of such things, however, I noticed that the mainstay of the issues seemed to be tied to my home directory, so that suspicion quickly went out the window again. Basically, whenever I open finder in my home directory, finder crashes... I can use terminal to go to a sub-directory and open it and, most of them, work fine. The biggest culprits right now, seem to he ~ and /Users - both of which cause finder to crash.
So I thought that perhaps, there was an issue with my finder preferences. I did a bit of googleing and found a number of comments suggesting that I clear out .DS_Store and the preference files - I have done this, with and without reboots/logout/restart of finder - none of it made a difference.
Next, I thought that I'd give it a try in safe-mode just to see what'd happen. So I rebooted in safe-mode and logged in - with the shift key held down - I opened finder and had JUST enough time to get excited, before it decided - once again - to crash on me.
Several of the finder crashing articles that I found, seemed to suggest that google drive could be the culprit, but as I haven't got it installed, I figured that it was worth a try to get rid of Skydrive and Dropbox in stead... While I was at it, I cleaned out some old kexts and Launch stuff that I wasn't using anyway - might as well try to clean up and hope for the best. After a reboot, I went at it again, with quivering fingers... Same result, I open a finder window to my home dir, get a flash then a crash.
In a final fit of frustration, I turned off the Spotlight indexer and the Timemachine backups - none of it has made an ounce of difference... Just ot make extra sure, I even created a new user account... The user logs in fine and everything is beautiful, until I go to /Users and get another crash, so it definitely seems to be directory related somehow.
This is the output from the crash - I'm hoping someone can spot something here
Thanks, in advance.

Finder crash when opening any Folder
I am a very experienced mac user and this one has me stumped. Im posting here to see if anyone else has this problem.
Finder crashes when opening a folder on the desktop
Finder crashes when using any option from the Go menu (or key combo) except Airdrop.
Once Finder window is open on Airdrop any navigation to home folder or any other folder using side bar causes Finder to crash.
Using Go To Folder causes crash, even on hidden folder like /var
Finder is OK when opening files on desktop
All other apps can browse file system and open/save OK
Google Drive is not present on system (this used to be an issue a long time a go that caused similar symptoms in other threads)
Drop Box is installed. But issue occurs even when dropbox is not running
Using spotlight to open applications still works normally.
Clicking the Finder icon in the Dock results in a non-functional blank window entitled "Window", all tool buttons are disabled.
Repeatedly opening the same folder over and over results in the message "The last time you open Finder, it unexpectedly quite while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the windows yourself" Two options "Don't Reopen" and "Reopen". Both buttons have no effect except to dismiss the dialog.
Steps Taken to fix:
Booted into recovery mode and performed repair disk and Permissions - Finder Still Crashes
Removed finder preference files using terminal
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Recent changes to system:
iTunes 11.4 Installed with normal Software Update.
Possible Cause of Problem
Found app in iTunes that has File Sharing enabled and has a shared folder. Curious as to what was in the folder i dragged it to my desktop and double clicked. Im not sure if iTunes would have had enough time to copy the contents of the folder before i tried to open the folder. Finder crashed. This was the first time it happened.
iPhone app in iTunes that I picked in was "Ubersense".1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Finder Crashes All The Time - Mountain Lion.
Helo there,
My iMac used to work just fine, but now after a year I got it, Finder crashes all the time. It doesn't show my folders, only some of them. I have to search to see them. When I open Finder, and try to work with it, I will get the loading colloured cirkel. Also Finder's sidebar doesn't show my favorites, airdrop or all my files. I can only see shared computers and extended drives and usb's. I've got two extended harddrives connected to my Mac, both of 1TB. One of them is my TimeMachine and the other is my old drive with movies. When I open the TimeMachine drive, I works just fine but when I open my older drive it will load very long and then show nothing. If I want to upload a picture on facebook or something like that, and I get the window to choose the file, it will lagg, stuck and not work, cause I can't see anything. I have to search it then with spotlight, and then select it. When Finder chrases and stuck with the spinning wheel, I restart Finder with second mouse option. Then I will have to wait very long until it opens again. The stuff on the desktop dissapears and I can't draw a selection area anymore. Also other programs crashing a lot more often, like disk utility and activity monitor. I thought it was immposible to work with a computer that crashes all the time. So what I did was:
Checking my harddisk with disk utility, and recover the things
Still stuck with the problem
Then
Make a TimeMachine backup.
Reboot the iMac holding the option key
Erase harddisk
Reinstall Moutain Lion
Reinstall backup
Repairing disk with disk utilities again
After this, I got the same issue and it drives me crazy. I've been to two local Apple resellers and told them my problem. They told me that it probably was a hardware issue. I have no idea my self so I ask you guys if you can help me out with this.
By the way:
one time when I restarted Finder, it wouldn't open and I got error code 600.
Last software that I installed was Paragon, I thought that it was causing the problem, so I deleted but it dind't helped. Now I got Paragon again.
Is this a software or a hardware problem and how should I fix this?
Thanks.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. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. 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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot 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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
