Finder freezes when searching

I've been having a problem lately where whenever I search for an item- using either spotlight or the finder or addressbook, that the finder freezes up and I get the beachball immediately. I'll type in a word I'm searching for, but it basically freezes after the first letter and I think it begins searching for every file on my hard drive that has that letter. Eventually, the second letter in my search term comes up and it freezes again. Eventually the whole search term makes it in, and it's no longer freezing up. When I had this about a month ago, I repaired permissions and zapped the p-ram and it seemed to clear up, but now it's back. Any ideas on what's going on or how to fix it? Thanks,

Hi, Andy. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. What changes did you make to your Mac before this problem arose?
2. There have been cases reported where SystemUIServer hangs during a Spotlight search. SystemUIServer controls menu extras, the icons on the right-side of the Apple menu bar other than the Spotlight icon. When the problem occurs, the SystemUIServer process appears in red text and indicates "Hung" in Activity Monitor.
This has happened both with Apple-provided menu extras and third-party menu extras. It seems to occur most often after opening a menu extra without making a selection from its menu, then proceeding to perform a Spotlight search. A bug has been filed on this.
The Finder (Find function) and Address Book search facilities are implemented in Spotlight.
3. Try troubleshooting third-party menu extras by process of elimination. In some cases, third-party menu extras are launched as Login Items, in which case you might also find my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ helpful.
Good luck!

  • 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:

  • IPad freezes when searching (or after using) Contacts app

    My iPad freezes when searching contacts and sometimes shortly after I've use the Contacts app. The behavior doesn't appear to be predictable, except that the freezing only happens while using or shortly after using the Contacts app. Are there any fixes for this?

    No fixes yet for anything software wise.
    Try a restart. Shut off the iPad by holding the home button and the top right button until you see the shutdown screen. Then turn the iPad on and try the contacts again. You can also try to reset the ipad's software to factory settings and restoring it.
    Do a fresh backup first.

  • Finder freeze when opening folders of my Western Digital external hard disks

    I'm facing a big issue. I'm runnin' Mac Os Lion, I realized a clean install a few days ago. Everything is going fine, but every time I plug an external hard disk on my MBP, I can see the disk appearing on my desktop or in the finder, and when I open it, the finder freezes, I have to reboot manually, or wait to relaunch the finder. My disks are in HFS format, used to work great on Snow Leopard no longer than a week ago... What is weird is that my time machine (external hard disk usb) works fine... Moreover, I can see the disks in the Disk Utility, I can't click on "verify permissions" but on "verify disk" and it says that the disks are fine... Any idea ?
    PS : I could have erase everything on them and reformat, but I need the files inside...
    Thanks

    Hi!
    Here's a suggestion from BDAqua:
    In finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra number on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a number, and reboot.

  • Finder freezes when accessing an external drive

    I have been using WD 3TB green drives in docks for storage for years. For the last 6 months occasionally I will access one of the drives and the finder freezes up, I will then need to restart the computer. When I try to mount my drive I get a "The disk inserted was not readable by this computer". I do not want to loose the data so I will not initialize the drive. Disk Utility will not even recognize the drive nor will Disk Warrior. In order to save the data I need to use a recovery software. I use Ontrack EasyRecovery Home, it works great but is taxing on the computer and takes a lot of time. So does anybody know why this is happening? Is it a problem with my computer or the manufacturing of the drives?
    Probably a coincidence, but this has only happened to the WD green drives since they changed the packaging from green to yellow.

    Interesting.  What avout your login items in your Accounts preferences?

    Remove maudio, specifically that com.maudio.usb.fasttrackpro.driver.  If you just move that out of /System/Library/Extensions (or if there is an installer) you need to reboot after adding/deleting kext's.
    If no software was installed by you then somehow that external got that com.seagate.SeagateStorageGauge.plist installed in your /Library/LaunchAgents.  If the maudio removal doesn't change anything then this segat launchagent is the next to go.

  • Finder freezes when trying to move files to external hard drive

    Whenever I try to move files from internal hard drive to my external finder freezes it. I have over 5 TBs of free space on my external, so I know it's not a space issue. This happens no matter the size of the file. It starts the copy and then will freeze before it finishes. If I try to force quit and select relaunch it acts like it is relaunching but my icons never re-appear and the command bar at the top never returns. So I end up having to hard boot.
    I just reinstalled the 10.5.8 combo update and verified both hard disks, if any repairs came up I repaired and then did the same with disk permissions....it's still freezing on me. I am frustrated because there are some files I'd really like to move to my external raid hard drive but I'm not able to.
    The freezing happens if I'm trying to transfer files from a disc or an additional external HD. My internal HD is only so big and the external Raid drive is for my capture scratch on Final Cut Pro and I'm even having issues capturing to that drive. Everything wants to be on my internal HD and that doesn't work for me.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you get any error messages and if so what are they? Do you have any problems copying files off the problem drive back to your Mac or do the freezes only occur when copying to the external?
    No I don't get any error messages, the finder just freezes and when I try to relaunch finder it doesn't relaunch properly..all icons are missing and I'm not able to access the the task bar to properly shut down so I have to hard boot.
    It happens only when trying to save files to the external, whether through drag and drop or within programs. I am able to access files on the external and copy files from there to my internal without problems.
    Have you tried attaching this drive to another Mac and if so do you get the same issues?
    I don't have another Mac to attach the drive to.
    How is this RAID attached, SCSI, FireWire, SATA or what? How was the RAID created, Disk Utility or third party software and have you verified the integrity of the RAID?
    The RAID is attached via SCSI. In an attempt to solve this finder issue I re-installed the drivers to the most current drivers available and in doing so updated any firmware....and there was no change. I was not the one who set up the RAID so I don't know how it was created. It's an Enhance UltraStore R16 and I've been using it without issues since January 2007 and this freezing thing has been intermittent for a few months now but now it's constant and annoying. I've verified the disk through disk utility but I don't have any software to check the integrity otherwise. Do you have any recommendations as to what software I could use to do this?

  • Finder Freezes when I try to get file info

    G5, OSX 3.9
    Occasionally finder will freeze and become unresponsive when I try to check a file's info. I control+click on the file and the drop down menu appears normally, but when I click "Get Info" the Finder freezes; I get the spinning colour wheel of death and Finder won't respond. Forcing Finder to re-launch works fine and I haven't had to restart the computer yet, but I want to nip this problem in the bud right now before it gets any worse.
    Can anyone help?

    Buy DISK WARRIOR Software is only one is best to fix your HD problem! You can download in Site: www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
    It is same as mine, but worser than yours... My internal HD is failure, Do not restart often it can create heaviest corrpt in Files! Back up Important included Mail, Preferences, Applications you downloaded, etc to External HD or to CD-RW. If you have External HD, Do it, before too late.
    No Disk Utility or FCSK(FSCK?) can you trust, because they cannot tell if its HD is bad...
    Remember if Finder is freezing, it is in HD with sereve corrpt in this file which cannot fix. Do not restart it, Back up all... I did try like you do, but nothing work out without Disk Warrior. Make sure Back up all before it stop working. If it is, then buy new HD.
    I tried do Clean Install (Archive and Install), but still the same problem as even getting worser... Its "Bootstrap Errors" Bad errors I found out its in HD during installing while opening Error log (in Installer menu?). Let me give you link I learned:

  • Finder freezes when attempting to access a "shared" external hard drive (wireless via Airport Extreme)

    Finder freezes.   As soon as I click onto my "shared" external hard drive (3TB WD - wireless via Airport Extreme), finder immediately freezes / eternally spinning beach ball (until I restart finder).  Can still access wirelessly on another Mac (not on Yosemite).
    Please help!

    Ok - for a while there, the hard drive would not come up on the desktop - but now on a re-boot of the compter, or if I disconnect the hard drive and re-connect it, a message comes up with three buttons which say:
    Initialize
    Ignore
    Eject
    Sound like the hard drive has died?

  • 10.7 finder freezes when file extension changed

    Hello community.
    A very very annoying bug. I have saved a image from the web and renamed it without an extension. Afterwards I tried to change it to jpg in finder. Finder poped up a window asking me if I am sure. I click "use jpg" and then Finder freezed. I restarted finder and tried again, same thing happened.
    As a test, then I tried to rename a .md5 file to .txt, After I confirmed in the window "use txt", Finder freezed for the third time.
    Lion is not really ready. In the eye of Apple, we are just test dummies. Sorry.
    Greeting!!

    Forgot to say, only in list mode the freeze comes up. It seems already happened in Leopard.

  • Finder freezes when copying files to an external USB drive

    I am copying video TS folders from my Mac Pro to a USB 3.0 drive, and Finder keeps freezing up. Oddly, it doesn't always happen, and it doesn't seem to be the amount of data--I've successfully copied 32GB at once, and had Finder crash trying to copy 6GB. Other details: the external drive is brand-new, and set up for OS X, I have repaired the permissions on the Mac's drive and just for kicks did the same on the Seagate USB drive. I was originally copying the files from a folder I had on the desktop, and read here that the desktop being involved in the equation is a Finder-killer, so I moved the files to a different folder. I have done this a lot in the past to a different drive with no problems whatsoever. Lastly, when this happens, all I can do a hard restart. Everything is fine when it starts back up, but after a dozen restarts in a day, I'm about to shoot myself.

    Well, I can tell you this
    Mac's can't use USB 3 so it's dropping to USB 2
    If it's port powered, it could be drawing too much power and the Mac is cutting it off, use a powered USB hub.
    If the external drive is formatted MBR with FAT32 (MSDOS) then that's a issue with over 4GB sized files, you need exFAT or HFS+
    You may nee dot remove all data and Zero Erase the entire drive to map off bad sectors and before each time you copy a huge amount of data (if it hasn't ben done in the last 6 months) this catches new failing sectors.

  • Finder freezes when mounting dmg

    After the recent system update, Finder now freezes whenever I try to mount a dmg. In Console, the log for hdiejectd just says 'running', and I can no longer do anything with Finder, windows no longer refresh if I move them around the screen. If I relaunch Finder via Terminal, then the mounted disk image shows up, and Finder becomes functional again. But this is annoying to have to do every time! Is there a better fix out there please?

    Also, had to relaunch Finder in Terminal, because if I tried to relaunch in GUI when it's frozen, I get a 'the application finder can't be opened (-10810)' error. gah!

  • Finder freezes when plugging external hdd

    I have a "Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB USB3.0" external HDD and everytime I plug it into my mac and open Finder, it takes hours to show the files and most of times my mac freezes while trying to do so.
    I have never had this problem before installing Mavericks.
    Could anyone help me on that?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login 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.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Itunes freezes when searching

    Every time I search in itunes., it freezes up and I have to restart it.  This started when I updated to Mavericks OS.  I just cleaned up my hard drive to avbout 45% used and reinstalled Mavericks. The problem is still there.
    I am using a late 2008 Imac.  Any thoughts?

    Mine did something very similar - when I tried to search, I got a message saying that it couldn't contact the iTunes Store. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and afterwards it worked, but the fix might have had nothing to do with that uninstall/reinstall. I wasn't able to contact the iTunes Store through my iPod either, and that didn't work for a while even after the reinstall. Then eventually it ran correctly as well.
    I'm inclined to believe that there was something wrong at iTunes, not on my end. Have you tried again recently? Hopefully it'll be working again, like mine is.

  • 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.
