Finder crashes when i try to acess certains files.

I tried delete the Contextual Menu Items file. i deleted the unused login item in my accounts and still when i try to acess some file (only itunesmusic files for now) they cannot open and the finder relaunch!
thanks for your help.

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Finder continues to crash when I try to open my files

    Finder crashes when I try to open my user name with all my files in it. I can click on Macintosh HD, then it gives me a screen with "users" listed. I can click on that and the next screen gives me Guest Folder, my user name, and Shared Folder. When I double-click on my user name (it has a house icon next to my user name), it briefly shows all my files/folders and then crashes.
    Here's the log:

    This is a new laptop (2 weeks old) and I have had problems off and on with Finder crashing. But I don't know anything in particular that I've done to get it to work correctly.
    Need suggestions.
    Thanks!

  • After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

    After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

    Howdy,
    Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
    I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
    You might wish to read:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
    If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
    Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
    Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
    If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
    - You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
    - Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
    - Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
    - Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
    Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    or the link to directly download this 1.09GB combo updater:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1399/en_US/MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8.dmg

  • Every CC program is crashing when i try to open a File.

    Hello everyone,
    we use Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and Dreamweaver in the newest version.
    Since this morning every one of these 4 programs is crashing when i try to open a file with "File -> Open".
    When i open the file with a double click over the explorer it works without any error.
    I renamed the folders under "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014" but no success.
    What can i do in this case?

    Moving the discussion to Photoshop General Discussion.
    Thanks,
    Atul Saini

  • The pictures in several events I imported disappeared, only the event names remain. Now iPhoto crashes when I try to import new files. Any ideas?

    I imported several hundred pictures to different events. Some directly from a Canon EOS camera (large card) and some form old CD's. The import process went fine. But I noticed some events were empty after having seen them in the library. Thought it was my mistake and may have moved the pictures to other event. The last CD I was importing could not be read and iPhoto hanged. I had to force turn off the laptop and when restarted, several of the newer events were also empty and now iPhoto crashes when I try to Import to Library. Does anybody has had an experience like this? I really need to recover the pictures because I already deleted them from the camera. Help will be greatly appreciated.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Illustrator crashes when I try to place .psd file

    What can I do to stop illustrator from crashing when I try to place photoshop files

    Happens with a certain .psd - open .psd in Photoshop and resave over the same file. Can flush out corruption.
    Happens with all .psds -  update illustrator (eg:. 16.0 to 16.04) reset your illustrator preferences.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to download a file

    Hi!
    I run Firefox Nightly 8.0a1 (2011-07-08) on Arch Linux 64-bit with Gnome 3, and I'm having problem with crashes when I try to download files. This doesn't happen in the stable version of Firefox (5) which I also have installed on my computer.
    It's possible to open the download manager as long as there are no entries in the download list. But if I start a download of something - the download manager opens with an entry (the current download) and Firefox disappears. It instantaneously vanishes from both the monitor and the process list.
    I have tried to remove the downloads.sqlite file from my profile folder, but it didn't help.
    I have also tried to rename my whole profile folder to something else, and then created a new, empty profile folder with the name the first one had. When I then started Firefox, it recreated all the default content to the profile folder, so I ended up with a clean, unmodified installation. But it still crashed when I tried to download files. So it doesn't seem to be a problem with the extensions or similar.
    Suggestions?

    Downgrade to an older nightly that works for a week or so, then test again to see if the bug's still there. In the mean time, report the bug on Bugzilla if it hasn't already been. There's really nothing you can do about bugs in nightlies.
    (A similar sort of bug that triggered 60 seconds after opening, every time, was what got me out of using nightlies as my main browser.)

  • Flash CS5.5 crashes when I try to open any files. New ones as well as saved .fla's.

    Yesterday I was working in Flash cs5.5 and out of nowhere it stopped responding. So I quit and turned it back on again. Okay, it loaded fine, the screen came up, prompting me to create a new file or open one. I tried opening my old file and Flash stopped responding. Worried that it might be a corruption in my file, I opened Flash up again, this time to try and create a new file. When I clicked Actionscript 3.0, the same thing happened. It stopped responding.
    I've tried a few differnet things. From rebooting the computer to deleting the preferences even to uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing seems to fix this. Can anyone help me out? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
    Here are my system specs:
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Asus G73Sw Series
    i7-2630QM CPU 2.00 Ghz
    8GB ram
    64bit

    Oddly enough, I opened up Flash again, today, just to see if it was still the same, and it had worked. Everything seemed normal, I opened a new document and started working. Then, out of nowhere it stopped responding again. So I waited for it to respond, it didn't. I closed it from the task manager, and now it's back to the original problem of crashing when I try to create a new document or open an old ontrie
    Update: I tried the cleaner, as you'd suggested. Followed all the steps, but to no avail. Think it may have something to do with my machine, and less with the software?

  • Crashing when i try to open any file in pages (also keynote and numbers)

    I just buy and install iWork 09. Everything about the installation seems to be ok but when i try to open any file, new or created, i get a crash program with the legend "Pages quit unexpectedly". I tried to reinstall 2 or 3 times but it doesn't work.
    Any help?

    I'm interested in the solution since I'm having the same problem after a reinstall and update Pages to 4.0.4
    Keynote & Numbers won't launch either.

  • ADE crashes when I try to open acsm file

    I downloaded the book from my library website with no problem. When I double click to open it in ADE, it says it's fulfilling, but then crashes with the message "Adobe Digital Editions quit unexpectedly". When I open ADE, the book is on my shelf but doesn't register(says 0 pages of 0 pages). When I try to open that file, it quits unexpectedly again. Help!

    Thanks PeterBreis0807, I tried a lot of things in the last few days and what helped in the end was deleting Pages completely and then re-installing the whole program. Which is quite odd, taking into consideration that I just updated it a week ago.

  • Pages crashes when I try to open any file

    Hi, since I upgraded to Mavericks my Mac does a lot of funny things. After doing the latest upgrade of pages I now have the problem, that the program crashes whenever I try to open any file.
    I tried already restart, empty font cache with secure system start and reparing volume with disc utilities.
    Does anyone have the same problem or even better - a solution?

  • Finder crashes when I try to access my Airport disk

    I updated my MacBook from Leopard to Snow Leopard yesterday. I have a 1TB WD My Book External hard drive connected via USB to my Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n). I use time machine to back up to the hard drive and also have additional archive files stored on it.
    Everything worked fine with Leopard. However, ever since I installed Snow Leopard, the finder crashes every time I try to access folders within the root of my external hard drive. Once it crashes, the finder will then relaunch itself and continue to crash and relaunch until I close the window.
    If I click on a shortcut to a folder located on the hard drive, it works fine. As long as I do not navigate back to the root of the hard drive, I'm able to open any file or folder without the finder crashing.
    Originally, when I installed Snow Leopard, I did an update from Leopard. After this problem started, I performed a clean install, but the problem still exists. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Finder crashes occur both on my MacBook Pro (4,1) and MacBook Air (2,1). There is very little in common between the hardware of the two systems except the Santa Rosa processor. One has HDD and the other SSD. One has 6GB in DDR2 memory in two dimms and one 2GB DDR3 soldered. One has an 8600M and one a 9400. One starts a bunch of apps at login and one starts nothing. And so on. Since it happens on different kinds of systems, it's definitely not a hardware problem with certain specific hardware. And I'm pretty sure I saw a report from someone with a MacPro.
    I've looked at a lot of finder crash logs. A number of them seem to happen when something (memory or an object) is being freed and an error occurs. This causes an abort and the finder is killed and restarts. Not exactly a "crash". More like controlled flight into the ground. The other cases are probably not catching the error and getting seg faults, so those actually are crashes. Unfortunately, the place this happens seems to be different every time but usually related to finder or AppKit.
    I suspect a memory corruption bug somewhere. I've pushed my system by opening and closing
    folders, scrolling up and down, and opening and closing subfolders, and once the problem happens, it is usually reproducible for a few minutes (or a few repeats of the action that caused the crash).
    Then it will often "magically" start working or a slight variation of behavior, e.g., opening a folder directly vs. using a finder window sidebar alias (or vice-versa) will work.

Maybe you are looking for
