Finder Freezes when connecting to Server

Having a problem this morning, OSX is automatically attempting to connect to my server, which then will cause 1 of 2 things, which both end up i the same place. either when i go through with the connection attempt, by logging in the finder on my machine will freeze, the other thing that happens is that the the connection window will look blank and then freeze my finder as well.
the connection window is the same window, as if i were to use GO> NETWORK> G4 SERVER.
I would normall use Classic to connect to the network, through the chooser. and this attempt for OS X to auto connect to the server ( like it is looking for a file of some sort) is new.
My classic also fails to load, and will not, start up.
any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated..

Hey Dru,
thanks for the attempt, much appreciated, but yeah. tired that one, which did resolve the issue on a few of my machines in the past, but doesn't seem to resolve the issue on this one.
any other ideas?
thanks again for the help.

  • Finder crashes when connecting to server (10.9.4)

    I have been having an issue with my Mac Mini the last few days when it tries to connect to my local server.
    The first few times I can access the server normally through Finder, but after a few goes Finder freezes (spinning beach ball on finder - other apps work ok) up completely and needs to be restarted. Once it has restarted and I re-open Finder, it freezes up again completely until I restart my computer. The same applies when I try to access the server from other apps (eg. when adding a photo from the server to something in Chrome).
    I have reset PRAM, verified/repaired disk, run CCleaner.
    Any solutions to this issue?

  • Finder Relaunch when connecting to server

    Hello. I was wondering if anyone had some insight to why my finder relaunches when I GO>>>Connect to Server. I am connecting to an external network drive that is working fine with all other workstations. Thanks

    Hi there,
    That's a strange one I've not seen before, but try dragging this file to the Desktop, Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more....

  • 10.9.2 Finder Freezes when resizing and changing directories

    I just updated to 10.9.2 to find that when the Finder is open, and I resize the Finder, for instance to stack two windows side by side ... the Finder freezes when I simply drag the corner of the window around.
    Similar thing happens when I click on a different folder.
    Seems pretty odd given that I have a recent system with an SSD, and I didn't have the problem before.
    10.9.2 mac mini '13 core i7 16GB RAM 256GB SSD

    Also, if I scroll the lower right edge around in a circle, the bottom part of the Finder window locks up.
    This is what Console says about it:

  • IPod Classic 80 GB Freezes when connecting to Computer

    Hi.
    My iPod Classic 80 GB Freezes when connecting to my computer (Vista... yes... I know). I've got my iPod for over a year now and I've never had real trouble with it.
    When I plug it in (iTunes already running) my computer gives me the 'thumbthumb' noise because an USB thingamajib is connected to the computer. At this moment my iPod freezes and stays on. iTunes doesn't seem to find my pod. When I disconnect my iPod, it'll stay on (doesn't go energy safe mode) and stays frozen until the battery is empty. But by then, I've already lost my playing info (Which I really value).
    Pllllllease help me out her.

    Someone has finally found a solution to this problem and i decided that i would spread the word around ... so here are the steps:
    1) Quit iTunes.
    2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.
    3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.
    4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".
    6) Go to <http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_21> and download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the diskimage and run the installer.
    You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.
    And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything.
    *If you download the iTunes file from the "support.apple" link, and you can't open it, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/28/apple-itunes-8-2-and-quicktime-7-6-2-di rect-download-links/ and download "iTunes 8.2 for Windows: iTunesSetup.exe

  • Computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano

    Hello,
    my computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano. I have a Pentium IV with windows XP Pro. Can anybody help me please.

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • MBP freezes when connected to VGA projector

    My MacBook Pro (15" 2.4Ghz SR, 4Gb) freezes when connected to a VGA projector, doesn't matter whether the DVI-VGA adapter is connected to cable first or last. Boot time while connected to the projector is also inordinately long. I have seen this happen a number of times specifically with other Santa Rosa MBPs.
    I haven't called Apple yet on this and I suspect it will require a firmware update to fix; is this a known issue (and is it known to apple?)
    thanks
    --p

    Just to update this thread with what I've posted elsewhere:
    On my machine this problem only happens if the computer has been put to sleep before being connected to a projector. That is, put to sleep after being booted but before connection to the computer. It can be connected after booting without sleep. Once it has been successfully connected to a projector, it can be disconnected, put to sleep, awakened and reconnected with no problem.
    I think that this "first sleep after boot" issue is what makes the occurrence of this problem so variable.
    Some people just leave their computer on for long periods, only putting it to sleep when not using it. If they connected to a projector before putting it to sleep the first time they wouldn't see this problem.

  • Finder error -36 when connecting to server - smbclient in terminal works

    Finder > Go > Connect to Server
    When ever I need to connect to a smb server using Finder, I get the constant error -36.
    In console :
    mount_smbfs: session setup phase failed: syserr = Socket is not connected
    mount_smbfs: could not login to server EXIT15: syserr = Socket is not connected
    mount_smbfs: 2 failures to open smb device: syserr = Resource busy
    mount_smbfs: session setup phase failed: syserr = Authentication error
    mount_smbfs: error from NetrShareEnum call: exception = 382312500
    I can sometimes select the share to mount, and it tries for a few seconds, never succeeds.
    10.4.10, but this was also case previously. We have every single Mac with this symptom so it is 7 work units at the moment, a Mac Pro, MacBook Pros, MacBook, Mac mini.
    Wired, wireless, and even VPN, no matter how the mac is connected to the net.
    Every non-Mac server at work tested gives this error when trying to connect to their shares.
    smbclient in terminal works.
    http://www.macwindows.com/tiger.html and Apple kbase article 301580 suggestions for nsmb.conf didn't make any difference. (the nsmb noauth being a very poor choice if it would work)
    smb.conf and nsmb.conf any security settings don't make any difference.
    I have working details for connection, so share, ip and dns name, username and password for connection work.
    Connecting from Terminal works.
    Connecting from any Windows or Linux virtual machine on Fusion on these same Macs work too.
    I have changed the workgroup to the correct one in Directory Access.
    I have tried all connection syntaxes suggested in http://www.macwindows.com/tiger.html - none of them still work in Finder, always identical results.
    smbclient //dns-name-or-ip/sharename -W workgroup -U username
    is the only viable workaround at the moment.
    Domain=[dnsnameofwhereconnected] OS=[EMC-SNAS:T5.4.21.400] Server=[NT1]
    is what smbclient gives for server details when its connected.
    As smb works from command line, it's not smb itself that is affected. Just Finder.
    I don't have access to edit any settings on the servers that we need to connect to. Only sharename and password that work for connection, but don't allow any editing on the server's settings.
    Ideas? This should work in Finder.
    Smbclient and Fusion area already somewhat workarounds, so I'm not looking for any third party software for dealing with this.
    I spent way too much time with AppleCare on this, and all I got was 90 minutes wasted.
    Ideas anyone???

    I think I have found what caused it. Not solved, but at least this seems so far the most likely cause:
    The share name contains hyphen.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106471 Mac OS X 10.1 or later: How to Connect to Windows File Sharing (SMB) : Date Modified: August 01, 2007
    “6. You cannot connect to a share with a name that contains a hyphen. Resolve the issue by giving the share a name that does not contain a hyphen.”
    smbclient in Terminal is not limited to this "feature" of Finder of Mac OS X 10.1 that was not fixed or recoded to solve it or modify it since adding smb in it in 2001.
    It's not possible to test this changing the share name to one that does not contain a hyphen, nor to have one added in this server.
    For users that won't have Terminal access, the solution are .. remote desktop with admin user, have admin user come to mount the share in location, or use virtualization software and with it anything that works.
    Probably too optimistic to think the smb parts would have been rewritten for 10.5.

  • Too many sharepoints when connecting to server

    I have a 10.5.8 Tiger server. I am upgrading to the new Lion Server. I have setup the server, created users and groups and setup Sharepoints using the Server App. The problem is I have several sharepoints specific to certain groups. In Tiger the user would mount the server from GO/Connect to Server.
    There would be only one volume or sharepoint available. Once mounted they would only have access to the directories/sharepoints for their group. The
    other directories would be locked. This is still the case with Lion once they mount the main volume.
    However the difference in Lion I am trying to figure out is ALL the sharepoints I have created show up in the list of the mounted server when connecting through GO/Connect to Server. Even the sharepoints a certain user does not have access to. When they try and mount the shrepoint they do not have access to they are given a message that they do not have access to this sharepoint. How can I hide those sharepoints from showing up in the mount window? In Tiger I have the same amount of sharepoints but only one volumes shows up for the users to mount.

    Dick,
    I know this sounds silly but while in Finder goto (Finder)/(Preferences) and then make sure your on the (General) tab, make sure all the things you want to show are checked.
    If that doesn't help move the com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop you can find in in ~/Library/Preferences ( ~ = Your Home Folder), log out/log in, and see if that fixes the problem if not go ahead and move the plist file back.
    hope that helps,

  • Freeze when connecting to wifi after waking from sleep

    This problem was isolated to my Powerbook when I wanted to connect to a public hotspot (it started with the latest updates). Now, however, after updating my iMac G5 with all the latest updates, it's happening to it at home on my own wireless network.
    When I wake my computer, it freezes when trying to reconnect to the wireless network. The only way to get access is to hold the power button down long enough for it to shut down and then upon restart I have a workable computer that can connect to the internet fine.
    I've repaired permissions and repaired my disk from the install CD. I've waited up to fifteen minutes to see if the freeze would terminate with some process timing out, but no luck.
    The beachball appears when I rollover the airport status in the menu bar (and the volume and clock) but doesn't appear when I rollover other items in the menu bar (quicksilver and norton). However, if I click on anything everything freezes and the beachball "just won't quit."
    Anyone have a clue what's going on? All help is very much appreciated.
    thanks,
    bryan

    Hi bryan. Welcome to the Discussions.
    1. You wrote: "When I wake my computer, it freezes when trying to reconnect to the wireless network. "
    1.1. How do you know that the problem is specifically related to trying to reconnect to your home WiFi network, as opposed to some other potential cause of a wake-from-sleep freeze?
    1.2. Are you using an AirPort base station or third-party base station? If third-party, what specific make and model?2. You wrote: "I've repaired permissions and repaired my disk from the install CD."DId Repair Disk find any errors, even those it may have corrected? If so, did you write them down?
    3. You wrote: "The beachball appears when I rollover the airport status in the menu bar (and the volume and clock) but doesn't appear when I rollover other items in the menu bar (quicksilver and norton). However, if I click on anything everything freezes and the beachball "just won't quit.""Could be one of the other menu extras you have installed, i.e. the icons on the right side of the menu bar other than the Spotlight icon. Often menu extras are launched as Startup or Login items. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem. Note that your AirPort connection won't work in Safe Mode, but it gives you a way of testing if the wake-from-sleep or menu extra freeze is related to a menu extra, especially a third-party menu extra launched as a Startup or Login item.
    4. See if your computer's serial number is in the range specified in the "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" document.
    5. As far as general iMac G5 troubleshooting goes:5.1. Rule out potential hardware problems. Run the Apple Hardware Test that came with the computer. Instructions for doing so will be found in the hardcopy manual that accompanied your computer. For additional details, see my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ.
    5.2. Check the diagnostic LEDs, a feature of your iMac G5. See "About the iMac G5 diagnostic LEDs."
    5.3. If your iMac G5 will not turn on, see "iMac G5: Troubleshooting when your computer won't turn on."
    5.4. See also the iMac Service & Support site.
    5.5. Check the iMac G5 Discussions for similar reports from other users.
    5.6. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified. While you've done some of these steps already, it won't hurt to double-check this.
    5.7. If the computer is either under warranty or covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, don't hesitate to take advantage of your warranty and contact AppleCare.Good luck!

  • When connecting to server the other computers will not mount on the desktop

    Hello
    I have three computers connected wireless and ethernet. When connecting to the imac and mac pro with my macbook pro the other computers will not mount on the desktop. I have never had a problem like this before.
    The imac and mac pro will mount the laptop or imac and the imac will mount the mac pro and laptop.
    When I connect to the server with the laptop I can access everything thru the shared folders but nothing will mount on the laptop desktop using the, connect to server.
    External HD connected with firewire will mount and the internal cd/dvd will mount.
    I have ran permissions repair on the laptop. Have I accidently changed some configuration I am not aware of?
    Any help or advice is greatly appreciated
    Thank You
