Finder freezes after startup

This is happening many, many times.
I startup my Macbook Pro and it freezes (beach ball) with Finder. I just hold on/off button to turn it off and turn on again.
Any idea about what is causing this problem?

, thanks. I did this serveral times.
Does these lines make any sense?

Mac Pro on 10.6.8 freezes after startup

Since updating to 10.6.8 my 2009 MacPro will freeze after startup when opening finder, safari and itunes (so far). No beach ball and ForceQuit doesn't work. Resolved only by a hard shutdown with the off switch and restarting. Never a problem on restart. This problem seems identical to that described in an archived discussion (after an update to 10.5). Refer: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2018112?threadID=2018112 .
I have followed those suggestions without success:
-run AHT and no issues found
-run disk utility to verify and repair permissions
-used Rember to check memory and no issues
Grateful for any suggestions; thank you.

It means that a third-party system modification you installed is causing the problem.
Reboot as usual (not in safe mode) if you haven't already done so. Don't launch any of your usual applications. Launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the line of text below into the window, and press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Next, do the same thing with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
That's one line, not two. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Next, this command:
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Again, one line. Finally, one more:
ls -1 /Library/{InputManagers,StartupItems}
Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal.

Acrobat Reader 9.1.x freezes after startup

Hello,
Our Acrobat Reader is having problems on some machines during startup that it completly freezes after startup.
I've traced this with procmon and have seens that a certain file "sharedEvents" is trying to to somthing buth it is hanging on
lock - unlock. Killing All process of Acrobat Reader and deleting this file and then re-starting the program isn't helping because it keeps 0 kb and the mentioned behaviour is trying to do something with this file.
the file can be found in %appdata%\adobe\acrobat\9.0
Our profile's is redirected , it is working for most of the users but some users are having this problem.
Can anybody tell me what Acrobat Reader is doing with this file and is there a work around to initialize everything back again so the
user can startup the program normally so it is not freezing after startup without having to remove and install it back again ?
Best regards,
Bert

Hi,
The problem I'm having is a problem on the journal file. After some more investigating it look that the problem can be related to oplocks since we have enbaled oplocks on our server (were the file is placed trough folder redirection). We will check this ...
I've already disabled oplocks on client side and then everything is working however we are using Vista in combination with offline files and if you disbale oplocks then offline files will not work so we are looking a bith further to see what we can do on server side ... to be continued ...
Best regards,
Bert

IMac freeze after startup, works fine in safe mode

Hello, my Mid 2010 iMac is freezing about 3 minutes after startup. Ive tried booting from the instal disk and repairing it but it didnt work. In safe mode it works completely fine. It similar to some other peoples problem but i was hoping someone could help me, my applecare literally just ran out like 3 weeks ago.

Hi baltwo,
Im sorry but Im new to the community and I don't know how to address users directly. Hence intruding.
It would be kind of you to shed some light on the matter.
I'm running lion 10.7.5 and followed similar procedures but mail downloads every mail again after cataloging and indexing my earlier(snow leopard 10.6.5) mail. More details at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5373643
It would be great to find a solution as I'm struggling since two weeks.

HP Pavilion P7-1225 Desktop Freezes After Startup. Frustrated!

Hi,
My family's HP Pavilion P7-1225 desktop computer freezes a few moments after startup, most times. However, it will occasionally work just fine for hours and then suddenly lock up. Over the weekend a sort of clicking sound was heard followed immediately by the freeze. Restarted a few times, heard noise, got lock up. We're not hearing the noise now but it's still freezing up.
We have yet to talk to HP Support about it, but no other professional has been able to solve it (and we have had many try). Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Leo

Hi Leo,
Many things could be causing your issue. Intermittent freezes can be very difficult to solve. Since so many professionals have already tried to solve your issue then it's probably time to contact HP Support. As such, I am not going to suggest what has probably already been suggested and/or tested.
I don't know if you are using an UPS but transient changes in line voltage (too low or even too high) will often times cause a failover and clicking noises (relay closing and opening) with some UPSs will be heard. I hear clicks from my UPS at times even though the lights don't flicker. A poor or faulty UPS could cause issues like you are experiencing. You might also having an electrican check the circuits in your house. You might want to isolate your PC equipment off circuits that might have high current start up devices that might cause local voltage surges.

Finder Freezes on Startup - Restart Twice and OK - How2fix?

Hi there,
I don't have too much time to spend on this, but I want to make sure my comp is in good health (6 years and two HDD later). Whenever I turn off my computer, the desktop loads but no icons load and finder freezes (beach ball). I've read some stories but none seem to fit mine. I ran Console, and here is my report:

I'm thinking I need to delete a plist somewhere, but I'm not sure which one and don't want to take a big risk.
Cany you help?

"Avast" is perhaps the worst of the whole wretched lot of commercial "security" products for the Mac. It's worse than the imaginary "viruses" you were worried about when you installed it. Not only does it fail to protect you, it destabilizes and slows down your computer, and it sometimes or always corrupts the network settings and the permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it may not repair all the damage, and neither will Disk Utility or even reinstalling OS X.
Back up all data, then remove "Avast" according to the developer's instructions:
avast! Support Center
Reboot.
If you tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the Trash, you'll have to reinstall it and follow the instructions linked above.
If you still have problems after following those instructions, post again.

FME freezing after startup

I'm trying to setup FME to generate a live video stream from
a Philips SAA7130 capture card and Intel c-media audio input port.
Shortly after startup the program freezes, if I disable the audio
input in device manager FME does not freeze and works with video
only. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with audio
capture freezing FME and are there any log files or a debug mode
that could help figure out where the problem is?

Yep, had it all the time with FME 1. Which version of FME are
you using (version/build)? Replicated the issue with usb capture on
a later version, but it went away with latest FME and latest usb
drivers.

MBP Freezes After Startup - Fixed Version Cue Already!

Hi,
I installed the OS X security update last week and i had the problem where after boot-up I can see the mouse pointer but the entire desktop is frozen. I deleted Adobe Version Cue from the Startup Items and that solved the problem.
Until today, the SAME thing started happening. I have NOTHING in my startup items. At this point, I can't use the computer unless I do Safe Boot and then it works ok. The only thing I can pin it on is that the first freeze up happened when I was running Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 and converting a document to PDF. It froze and then every subsequent reboot freezes about 10-20 seconds after startup.
Heeeeelp

Ok in the 30 seconds I had before my machine froze, I opened the activity monitor and under all processes found that there was a root pdf process using 80-100% of the processor, after force quiting this process I haven't had the problem agian and have been able to reboot with any problems.
Hope that helps.

Finder freezes after multiple file copy

Hi! I recently bought an external hard disk drive (1TB) and had it formatted for use of the Mac. I copied all the files in my All Images folder to the HDD by selecting all the files and dragging to the HDD. However, it seems to have copied/duplicated the files in the same folder. Now Finder freezes (the rainbow pinwheel keeps appearing). I am still able to do some keyboard shortcut functions -- to shut down and restart only. I tried to open in safe mode and go to Finder's Go tab but couldn't find the Libraries folder so that I could delete com.apple.finder.plist (I googled this solution). Help please.

I figured it out, it's so bizzare. I realized that for all of the problems I was having, the hang up occured right before the computer was supposed to play a sound. Anyway, I looked through my sound preferences and discovered my alerts were set to go to my jawbone headset, which I only connected to my computer a couple of times, but that was months ago. Anyway, I changed that and all seems well now. All I can assume is that the OS sees the sound is supposed to go to the headset, sees the headset isn't active (or connected), so it tries to connect and activate (which it hangs the app for), and that times out, at which point it routes the sound through the system speakers. This issue is probably uncommon, but doesn't seem to be anything unfixable.

Mac freezes after startup

Hi, I have a macbook aluminium from 2008, 2 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and using OSX Lion 10.7.3 Everything is up to date.
For the past year or so my mac has sometimes frozen after it starts up. All icons and background load, EXCEPT my google notifier on the top tool bar. That's how I know my mac is freezing. But it's frozen before I started using google chrome and years after using google notifier. So I don't think those are why it's freezing.
When I click things the rainbow spinwheel comes on and it stays that way, so I just turn it off and reboot. Sometimes this will happen a couple times in a row, if I'm lucky it won't freeze for weeks. I don't know what is causing it or why it's so sporatic. I copied my console system log. Please help me! I'm afraid I'll turn it on and it won't start again. Thank you!

my computer starts up and then I am usually able to open one app and then it freezes and have to do a force-quit. {quote}
Is this problem with every app installed in your mac or just a one application ?
Can you tell me which application you faced this type of problems ?
Because you mention force quit is working , that means machine process is working (may be i am wrong). But provide more details which application you faced this problem ?

Finder freezes after dragging a file to the desktop

I am finding the if I try to drag a file to the desktop, it seems to move the icon there, but then freezes up... you can't do anything with finder at all..? I go up to "Force Quit" and select to "Relaunch" Finder, and it resumes normal operation... My work around is to copy and paste things onto the desktop, them trash the original file... a poor solution, but I'm getting by.. any ideas?? Dave

I appreciate the update DJ.
Next I would verify and repair the startup disk using the Disk Utility. This resource should help you do that, named:
Repair a disk - Disk Utility Help
Print this help page so you can refer to it later. (You don’t have access to Disk Utility Help when you restart your computer in the next step.)
In the Disk Utility Help window, click the Share button , then choose Print.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts and you hear the startup chime, hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
When the Apple logo appears, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, then click Continue.
In the sidebar, select the disk or partition you want to repair.
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back up your data and replace the disk. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done. Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following.
If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. You need to check each file in the list of affected files. Most of the files in the list have aliases in a DamagedFiles folder at the top level of your disk.
If you can replace a file or re-create it, delete it.
If it contains information you need, open it and examine its data to make sure it hasn’t been corrupted.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall OS X, then restore your backed-up data.
If the issue is not resolved, I would next re-install Yosemite. This will not compromise your data:

G5 Power pc mouse freezes after startup

I have a liquid cooled power pc G5 that won't start up intermittently. I have been going through the threads on apple discussions and finding the same problems I am having. I have tried most all of the suggestions and still cannot get results. I had put the mac to sleep a few weeks ago and when i came bacck to it later in the day the fans were blazing so i shut it down and have never been able to get it to come back up without the mouse freezing on me after about 2 minutes or so. I can get it to work and get so far then the freeze comes and i have to power down the start button. Any more options any one can think of would help please.

Joe, is it overheating?
Can you start in Safe Mode, (holding SHIFT key at bootup & have it run longer?
Have you blown the dust out lately?

IMac freezes after startup; locks at Login screen

Hi,
I have changed the system date to an ealier date - a day earlier. After a few moments, my computer froze. Restarted my computer but it still freezes at login screen - keyboard doesn't work. The system works on safemode though, but normal startup doesn't work at all. No HW was added or removed except for the external USB drive. I also have tried the following items to no avail:
1) PMU Reset
2) Changed date/time to normal in safemode and installer-disk startup.
3) Disk/folders permissions tests were OK. Terminal disk check was OK.
4) Removed my internet connection and all external disks.
5) Created another user-admin account.
Please help me here. I'm backing up my data files right now and would reinstall my OS later as a last resort.
Thanks.
Ron
