Finder does not work on OS X Yosemite 10.3.3

After I upgraded the new OS X, I have found the Finder app have been showing the notice like the photo in above.
Even I clicked the Reopen button, obviously it does not take any action or no response to show up the Finder window as well.
Please give me any suggestion to help me solve this problem issue. I am looking forward to see the Mac expert to rescue me.
Thanks in advance folks .

What happens if you try starting up in Safe Mode?

Trackpad Scrolling and 'Find' does not work

I'm loving it so far on my Work IBM T43 / Windows XP. I always wished for this to come out and now here it is. I can't say though that it isn't without any issues such as the ones mentioned above [Trackpad Scrolling and 'Find' does not work]. I'm still playing around with but so far so good. Anyone else coming up with these issues?
Specifically I have to manually select 'Find' from the drop down File Menu under Edit and then once it has been activated, I can use 'Cntl + F' but then once I click on Done, nothing happens. I once again have to use it from the drop down. It's not a major thing but definitely a peave.

I'm on an IBM T60 on XP Professional and trackpad scrolling doesn't work
I hope this problem will be solve soon.

Finder does not working on Mavericks

Dear all,
The Finder does not working on my newly upgraded OSX Mavericks!
Yesterday I have just upgraded my Macbook Pro (OSX Lion) to OSX Mavericks. Now the Finder does not working at all; by that, I meant the folder I had opened previously now keeps frozening. Although I have tried to "relaunch"/ "Force Quit" the Finder and Restart the computer for so many times, but the frozen window remains on the screen (the Finder is not responding), so now I couldn't do anything neither with my files nor the hard drive itself except web browsing and some applications.
Anyone share your know-how on this please.
Thank you very much.

I also got this problem, I need some help right now.

"HP laserjet professional utility" does not work in osx 10 (Yosemite)

All the major functions of this printer work fine in Yosemite, but not the "HP laserjet professional utility"The driver shown in System Preferences/Printer for my Laserjet P1606dn is version 6.9 (I am unable to knowif this is the version provided by the latest HP printer update, which was installed via the App Store.) I note this exact issue was raised for OSX7 in November 2014, but for a diiferent model printer. My printer is on my local wifi network, and that earlier case seemed to invove a direct USB connection. The solution offered in that thread, 4694464,may not be applicable now, so I seek advice In the panel for my 1606dn within System Preferences/Printer offers a button to launch the "HP Professional Utility", but when clicked an app launches called the "HP Professional Utility" but then nothing. I am trying to access the printer controls that will keep it from turning itself off when idle, and the documentation says the "HP Professional Utility" will allow that change. Please advise

Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having some issues with adjusting the power save mode settings on your Laserjet P1606dn. I can help with that. First make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. If the printer is connected with an ethernet cable to a router then you may be able to do this instead:On the printer hold down the button that looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow on it for about ten seconds. This should print out a report.On your Mac open a browser and enter the printer's IP Address in your Address bar exactly as it appears on the page. When you are finished click on enter/return.This will open the printer's Embedded Web Server. In here you may be able to find some options to adjust the power save settings.If the above does not work then this troubleshooting may assist you with the utility:Go to Applications, and if you have it open the Hewlett-Packard folder.Run HP Uninstaller to remove any existing software from you system.On the Mac go to the Apple icon and Sytem Preferences.Open Printers and Scanners.Hold down the Command key and click on the picture of your printer on the left.Click on Reset Printing System.Go to Applications and Utilities.Open Disk Utility.Click on Macintosh HD on the left.Click on Verify Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Click on Repair Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Restart your Mac.Plug in the USB cable between the printer and the router.Check for Product Updates on your Mac.Try running the tool again.If this resolves everything please let others know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post.
I hope this helps and I hope you have a great day!

Find does not work in numbers for iPad.

help, my company has an excel document which I have saved to numbers. But the find option DOES NOT WORK, when the find option is tapped the find screen shows up but only accepts on or two letters. Then when the wheel/ tool is presses the screen goes blank and returns to the desk top. I received an email from iWork but have not received a follow- up response. Help.

Hi lkennon,
You need to select the text in the cell to make "Remove Link" active. First, make the column wider if necessary to give somewhere 'safe' to click to the right of the address
Now drag over the address to select it
and "Remove Link" will be active.
You may find this useful (turn Smart Links off)
Even so, pasting an already active link into Numbers seems to over-ride that setting. Use Edit > Paste and Match Style.
Regards,
Ian.

Find does not work - 9.1 Reader on XP Home SP2

I just upgraded to 9.1 on my XP home edition SP2. Now when I try to do a "find" to search through a PDF it does not work. It does not look like its even searching now. I used to see the pages scroll on my previous version (8 i think ...). When I try to search for a simple common word it finds and highlights a word that is not even what I searched on.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the 9.1 installer... but have not yet unistalled all the other various Adobe add-ons.
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks

uninstalled and reinstalled an older version ... working fine now.

FireFox 4 Windows 7: Edit/Find does not work. Find Bard does not display.

Edit/Find or Ctrl-F does not work. The "find bar" is not displayed.

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars and Find bar fall off.<br />
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Finder does not work after installing Yosemite

I loaded Yosemite and now my Finder will not load. When I click on the finder icon I get a message Finder could not open. I looked at what is currently on several boards and tried most of the suggestions including reinstalling Yosemite without success. There is a black dot next to the Finder icon which blinks. I have an I MAC with 8 GB RAM and 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. Help would be appreciated.

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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
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.

Scrabble does not work since installation of Yosemite. How do I get it to work?

I have a Mac Mini with recently installed Yosemite OS X . I had to reinstall iPhoto, iMovie and two other programs that were not compatible with the
new Yosemite. After calling tech support I found that my Scrabble no longer works. It tries to load and does nothing more than show a start-up menu and play music. It does not respond. I tried re-loading the disc. No success. Is there any way to get Scrabble to work with Yosemite? I wish I had never installed it.

I Googled and did find:

USB headset does not work after upgrading to Yosemite

I upgraded MacBook Pro 13" retina to Yosemite and lost Logitech PC Headset 960 sound.
System preferences shows it in input and output, but no sound.
After I plug in and out headset I loose even internal sound for Spotify.
When headset is plugged in Youtube videos on Chrome stops playing, when I take them out - video resumes.
Hardware should be ok, because I have 2 pairs of such headset (both of them are not working) and the same hardware on Windows 7 (bootcamp) do work with headset perfectly.
Have anyone the same/similar problem. Does anyone has solution? Should I migrate back to Maverick and how to do it?
Already reset everything what was recommended to reset etc.

1. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
Play sound effects through:
Select Logitech/headphone and then back to "Selected sound output device".
2.Launch iTunes and play a song through headphone and adjust the volume.

Room Finder does not work

I've set up two room lists in a large organisation (50K users) running pure Exchange 2010 accross a huge cas array and multiple mailbox servers. I've added rooms to both lists and also checked that the rooms are set as the correct resource type. However
the room finder is empty. The problem occurs in both cached and online mode. Both groups were set up months ago (so not an OAB update problem) and are set as Room lists correctly. Also I can see the groups if I select them from the GAL. This issue affects
all users.
I enabled Outlook logging and get two errors when using the scheduling assistant:
2013/05/22 09:27:21.403: CRoomsCTP::FOnPutAppointmentItem(): HrSetASUrl failed. 0x80004005
2013/05/22 09:27:21.840: CRoomsCTP::HrGetRoomListAsync(): HrGetRoomLists failed. 0x8000ffff.
GAL is updating fine as is OAB. I have googled extensively and searched similar threads here but have not found an answer.
I have also checked the worktimes for the rooms in each group and they are set to 8.00am to 5.00pm so its not the outlook hotfix issue

Hello Tony, In case if it is working on your Lab environment and not on your production environment ..then it might rather be a server side issues specific to your production servers. I doubt about your Server's Mailbox Role being partially configured coz,
i ran in to a similar issue where i ran EXBPA and got the message "Mailbox Role PArtially configured".
After i fixed the mailbox role issue and got that installed successfuly, the issue was resolved. so, please consider running EXBPA to get additional information.

Spotlight and Find does not work in 10.4.7 and Macbook Pro

I have this strange problem of the Find and the Spotlight not working properly. Whenever I pass on a word to search it doesnot give me the full list. e.g In desktop I have file UserValidator.java and in the Find window I give options: Name Contains "Validator". The list that it is showing is not having the .java file.
I am getting crazy what is happening. Has anybody faced with this problem.
Thanks,
Tanmoy

Perhaps it's an Invisible item?
In Find, select Other
It opens a 'search attribute' window, in that scroll to and select 'Visibility' (4th from bottom)
Check 'Add to Favorites' then OK
Then select 'Visibility' and on the right button 'Visible or Invisible'
Search for your file

Finder does not work correctly

FINDER Does not work on Macintosh HD

Well, I would like to think I'm not an idiot. But the finder will not find anything on the main "Macintosh HD" Volume. It will quickly find things on a DVD, CD, External Hard Drive. But on the main HD it will come up as 0 items found. Even when i put in one letter or something i KNOW is on the HD. I do not have any extra specifications setup to narrow the search so I do not see why it would not be finding things.

Hello banda1ds,
I'm sure you are not an idiot.
Exactly how are you searching? I just used the Spotlight search field in the top right of the finder window to find something I knew wasn't on my hard drive and it didn't show any results but did not display a message saying "0 items found".
If that's what you are doing and the file is a normal user file (not a system type file that is not indexed by Spotlight) then it might point to your Spotlight index being corrupted somehow. You should therefore look at the documentation or these discussions for instructions on how to get it rebuilt.

Upgraded to leopard and now finder does not work

Hi there - I just completed a leopard upgrade. Strangely enough, after installation and the subsequent reboot, i cannot get the finder to work. Upon clicking on the finder it just sits there and gives the 'waiting' signal (rotating multicolor circle). I opened the activity monitor and killed it, clicked again. nothing. Rebooted numerous times.. nothing. I also tried to install the leopard software update. The files download fine but will not install. I assume this has to do with the finder problem. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks!!

There are really two "Finders," the one in the dock and the one that actually runs the GUI.
When you click on your desktop, you see the Finder menu on the top right. Do any of those functions work?
For example, if you click Go->Home, does the Finder window open as normal?
If so, you may simply have a corrupted Finder alias in your dock.
I would first run DU and perform a disk check and repair permissions.
How to get to DU? Again, if the top right Finder menu works, select Go->Utilities and run DU from there.

Finder does not work on OS X Yosemite 10.3.3
