Finder hangs when sorting in list view on external USB3 portable Seagate

This seems to be a specific Mavericks Finder issue as I have a Mountain Lion backup that does not have this problem. Finder hangs on the Seagate when selecting the Music folder that holds all of my music files (over 300 GB) organized by iTunes in artist and album folders.
I keep two backups, one on an external 1 TB portable USB 3 Seagate drive (5400rpm) and one on an external 2 TB portable USB 3 Toshiba (5400rpm) drive. Sorting thru the iTunes Media/Music folder in any way on my internal HD and on the Toshiba is almost instant and navigation/scrolling is fast. On the Seagate, using Column and grid view works well, even setting the column view to sort (I use Modification Date) causes no hangs and I can easily scroll and select any artist, album or song. But as soon as I select List View for the Music Folder, it starts counting the files and hangs with a spinning beach ball FOREVER. I have to relaunch the Finder and instantly click off the window as it will otherwise hang immediately.
This only happens on the external Seagate, I can easily navigate and scroll the Music folders - which are identical - on my main and external Toshiba drive.
Here's what I did to troubleshoot this issue:
Deleted Finder pref. files (com.apple.finder.plist including lock file inside my Library folder, there were 4 who had some random numbers at the end.
Set all and specific folder views and list views to not sort
Ran Disk Utility from both internal and Rescue partition (no errors found)
Ran Onyx scripts to clean up and do maintenance (no issues popped up)
Booted up in Safe Mode and deleted pref files (as suggested on another forum)
Reset PRAM
Confirmed this issue with other Mavericks boot drives and one Mountain Lion full backup.
I use Soundflower (mentioned in another post), Caffeine, and MenuMeters
Any ideas? Any other preference files to delete?

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly!
FYI, it seems specifically to happen when I expand a lot of folders in List View, and especially when I have multiple finder tabs/windows open—but that could just be subjective impression. There are no crash reports or anything in Console—I don't know of any other way to monitor the process.
I deleted the finder plist. I also uninstalled and reinstalled XtraFinder—which I’m quite sure wasn’t the problem, since it happened regardless of whether it was installed. In fact, if anything, it seems to crash less when Xtrafinder is active. I did have an additional (second) finder plist file which I deleted—I believe it was left over from TotalFinder—but that didn’t seem to fix it, although it also seems to be happening less frequently.
It’s definitely some sort of bug, and really only bothers me when trying to sort by Date—which can be done other ways, of course.
Will definitely keep you up to date if it changes, and thanks kindly again for your response.

Finder hangs when accessing external drive

My finder hangs when accessing an external drive.
It is specific to a drive the I created on my TC disk.
That drive and TC work perfectly unless I mouint it and alter anything on that disk (I can read ok but writing causes a freeze.)
The writing that I do is always ok; if I trash or move something it always ends up where I wanted it after a restart.
The process looks like:
I drag an item to the trash (or another directory) and the progress bar shows success down to 3 or 5 seconds and then it stops (curser becomes a spinning beach ball.)
I can hear the tone of a successful transfer if I wait a little while but the finder is unresponsive untill I restart.
Once restarted I can check the external disk and the file transer (to a directory or the trash) appears to have completed without corruption.
I have repaired drives and permissions all over the place with no results.
Can I just say that I tired of constant unnecessary updates that slow my computer, rearrange my settings and cause crashes and other problems that have to be researched and chased down through hours of online troubleshooting. I would love to have thoroughly tested software and hardware that just works without the hassle of having to constantly tweek my machine to get it to work consistantly.

Are you saying you have this problem only with one drive, not with others?

Is there a way to exclude temporary people picker fields from a query when receiving the "List View Lookup Threshold" error.

Hi All,
My users require the ability to select a sharepoint group from a drop down list and then be able to select a user from a people picker based on the drop down selection.    The best solution I was able to up with, was create a people picker
for each drop down selection and set the Sharepoint group field to the selected group.  All people picker filed are hidden except the one that matches the drop down selection. When creating an entry from the sharepoint list this method
works perfectly.
However, when I add the list onto a site page using an "Listview webpart", then add an infopath web part and then finally connect the two parts, I get a "List View Lookup Threshold" error when selecting an entry from the list. I
understand from the error and reading that this error is related to the number of People pickers in the list.   Is there a way to exclude temporary people picker fields from a site page query, as they are only temporary fields to allow the users
to select a person and then assign the name to another field.

Hi Dwayne,
In SharePoint 2013, we could manually create a list for all users. Here are the reference:
Go to Site Settings > People and Groups > SiteMembers
Modify url
http://sitename/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=8 to
http://sp/sites/tutu/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0 , now you will see All people in this site.
Change the view to List view, and copy the listview id in the url
http://sitename/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0&View={viewID}
Go to Settings > List settings, copy the list id in the url
http://sitename/_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=listeid&Source=....
Now type the address in IE:
http://sitename/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=[LISTID]&View=[VIEWID]&CacheControl , such as
http://sp/sites/tutu/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=f3958d27-9c2f-4f8d-b221-89466e816667&View=696BFDC5-0C6E-4E27-818F-0E6292A18407&CacheControl=1
Save the owssvr.jqy from SharePoint site
Now you could see the file in your desktop with all users, save it as allusers in Excel.
Then import it to your SharePoint site, add an app > find an app > import spreadsheet

Finder - Arrange by Name in List view

Hi,
I have noticed that when i view a finder window in list view and then choose to arrange by name the view becomes different to what it would be before it was arranged. See my pictures for example:
Before
After
Notice that the titles become automatically spaced out and are much larger. I much prefer this view becaue it stops me having the widen the file name border in order to read long file names.
Does anyone know if there is a way to apply this to all folders? I have tried using this setting at the detault but it doesnt seem to carry through. I have also had a look in automator and there is no option to arrange by name in the list view settings.
Help please!
Thanks,
Adrian

Well, it seems to work for me, so all I can suggest might be some problem with the Finder's preference file - com.apple.finder.plist - located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. You could try putting it in the Trash, killing the Finder, then reconfiguring your window arrangements.
To kill the Finder press COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to open the task manager, select the Finder, then click on the Relaunch button.

Finder folders stay open in list view

I am having a problem with the Finder. When looking at folders in list view, certain folders stay open every time I look at a certain directory. If I close the folders and re-open the surrounding folder, the triangles are back down again! These are folders I had open a week ago and I don't need them open any more. It is very frustrating to open a folder, and have five open folders within it that I don't need open! I have to close them several times a day!
How do I make it so that my Finder rembers that those should be closed? I am not sharing files or folders with any other computer or user.
I had this problem on my laptop and I thought that maybe my external HD had some indexing issues. But now it is happening on my brand new imac with folders in the hard drive.

Maybe some of the invisible .DS_Store files in your folders are corrupt.
Launch your Terminal and paste the blue code below into it.
Press Return and type in your password - press Return again and wait for the word 'done.' to appear.
Then quit the Terminal.
sudo find / -name \.DS_Store -exec rm -fP {} \;;echo done.
Next, relaunch the Finder - press Command Option - click and hold down the Finder in your Dock and select Relaunch.
Good luck,
Tom

Easy Tabs breaks when a calendar list view is added and stops working on sub sites (?)

SP 2010 on premise.
When I add a calendar list view web part to Easy Tabs it wipes out all the other web parts and causes errors. Libraries and other web parts seem fine. I haven't tried other list views or been able to find out if they're supported in Easy Tabs.
Also when pages were moved (or copied) from a parent to a sub site, I noticed the first couple of tabs work when clicked but then it stops responding.
Any thoughts?

Hello Webbrewer,
When I look at the Easy Tabs page I see there are some known issues with Calendars:
http://usermanagedsolutions.com/SharePoint-User-Toolkit/Pages/Easy-Tabs-v5.aspx
Maybe you can contact them, they have a skype chat on their site.
Hope this helps a bit

Why won't Finder open some folders in List view?

I cannot open some folders in Finder when it's in List View. For example, I have an external drive divided into 3 volumes: Ext A, Ext B, and Ext C. B & C open fine when I double click: A will not open at all, although sometimes Finder will open a blank window. If I click on the volumes in the Finder sidebar I get the same results. BUT if I switch to Column View it opens OK. Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my folder? (All volumes above have identical permissions.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I ran the disk verify utility and all the volumes checked out OK. It has also happened with one folder of the internal hard drive. I ended up copying all the data from that folder and putting into a new (re-named) folder, and deleting the original. The new folder was accessible OK.
It must be something to do with that one folder??

Todo tab: Routes displayed when selecting the List View

Hi,
I have a question about the routes that appear on the workspace's "To do" list view, and how to perform validations when they are clicked.
I've created a process that starts with a form being created by a user. Then, it's validated by a sequence of other users. Each one sees a different set of routes. On one of the steps of the process, one of the routes requires the user to input a text.
The condition is checked on the click event of the AWS_SUBMIT button, where I've also put the text request. If the user is using the card view on the "To do" tab and clicks on the item, the form opens and, when the user submits it, all works as expected. However, if he has the list view and clicks once on the item, the route names appear on the bottom right of the workspace, and he's able to select them. As the form hasn't been opened, there's no control on the selected route, and the user is never asked to input the text. On the next step of the process, which depends on this text, the process gets stalled.
Is it possible to hide these routes on the workspace, disable the list view, or stop the submit if it hasn't been started without opening the form? I know you can customize the workspace, would this allow me to remove the route buttons?
The version we are using is LiveCycle ES 8.2.1.3.
Thank you

Is there any way to hide the submit button(green check mark) that appears on the task card when a user saves a form in their draft folder.
Users are bypassing the form validation by submitting a form this way. For instance, a user will fill out the form with values that do not pass validation. They will save the form in their drafts folder. The user will then close the form and navigate to their draft folder. Without opening the form again, they will click the green check box submit button and a form with invalid data will be submitted to the process.
This is LC 8.2.1.3.

Finder hangs when moving files around in Flash Drive

Hello Apple Community! I just wanted to ask a question and a solution to my experience on OS X.
Recently, I started to experience Finder hanging on me when I move around files from in and out my flash drive.
What's happening in the picture was me trying to move the ebook into the 'cmpsci3' folder, but Finder hangs from the point.
I moved the Finder window and the icon just stays there.
There is nothing really wrong with the movement of files; the moving does work. The problem is that the small file operations
window disappeared and Finder just hangs there.
I tried two solutions already:
1. Remove the com.apple.Finder.plist file from ~/Library/Preferences
2. Repair disk permissions on both OS X drive and USB03FD (my flash drive).
Unlucky for me, the problem isn't fixed. I tried to tackle the problem myself and sometimes I see two Finder processes running
in the Force Quit Applications dialog. I followed the instructions from this threadTwo Instances of Finder Running, but that does
not work either.
I looked around and saw that making a new user would fix the problem. I would like the community's advice on how to fix this problem
before I do anything drastic.
Thanks for reading and helping me out!

I decided to go the long way and move everything where I wanted it to be. I moved everything around in Bridge, I then synchronized the folder to reflect how it should. So far so good!
Thank you all for your help and interest, I really appreciate everything!
I do have one more question now, I will also start a new thread to see what else I can get, but again thank you!
I have syncroniced the folder after making the changes, and due to the problem I was having last time I did it again just to double check. It said there were over2k photos missing so I clicked sync, let it do its thing. And just to tripple check I ran it again and it is saying the same thing, missing over 2k photos. What does this mean?

Finder hangs when HD is opened/Attempts to connect to Network Server

We have two iMac G3s running 10.3.9.
The computers are connected to a Dlink ethernet router.
One of the computers will occasionally hang either when booting or when we double click on the hard drive. It appears to be trying to connecting to the other networked computer. We get the spinning beach ball plus an empty window.
While it's hanging, other applications can be opened from the dock and seem to be functioning normally.
If the ethernet cable is unplugged, the system will start normally.
One guess was that an alias to files on the other had been added to the sidebar and that the computer was trying to resolve this when the HD was opened. I saw this mentioned in a different Mac forum. Is this a problem? Is there a way to see why the one machine is trying to connect to the other?
What I've tried so far:
Disk Utility (Repair Permission/Verify Disk)
Disk Warrior 3.03 (Rebuild the directory
Removing the plist (I got a login window that then wouldn't allow typing the password.)
Cocktail
Suggestions?
iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I agree that it is very annoying, but in my experience the Finder hang does eventually resolve itself if you wait long enough.
Not being that patient, I usually relaunch the Finder from the Dock, which clears the hang immediately.

IRecruitment - Sort Location List alphabetically on external visitor page

Hi gurus,
We are using iRecruitment and were disappointed to discover that the location list on the external site sorts in the order the locations were added instead of alphabetically. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it sort alphabetically other than to reload all of our locations?
This field is a MessageChoiceLOV. Is there a way to change the type of field through personalizations? Should we add another field? Is there a different kind of field that would automatically sort or that would enable us to go directly to the search page, which is alphabetized?
Thank you for your help!

Lion has changed the order in which Finder items are sorted in Icon View; Acc vs. Desc. How can you change this order?

The order in which items are sorted has changed in Lion and I can't figure out how, or if, it can be changed. Previously in Snow Leopard if you sorted by 'Date' in Icon View, your icons would be arranged from oldest to newest. The same was true for 'Kind' and all the order sort options. In Kind my *.zip files were positioned last.
Now in Lion, the order is reversed. Newest and Zips on top... the accending vs. decnding order has been changed. How can I change the sort order in Icon View?

I managed to fix the reverse order issue by deleting the com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile in the user library folder. I did have to use terminal to delete the files and then re-launch finder from the force quit window. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
Hold down the option key while selecting the Go menu. Select Library.
Navigate to the Preferences.
Find the com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile and delete it.
Open Terminal (Application/Utilites)
In Terminal type in sudo rm (include a space after the rm and do not hit enter)
Drag com.apple.finder.plist file to the terminal window. It will fill in the path to the file)
Press return.
Type in your password and hit return. (The cursor will not move when you type in your password)
From the Apple menu, select force quit.
Highlight finder and select re-launch.
Be careful when using Terminal. There is no undo button and you can accidentally delete important files.
I hope this helps.

How do I stop Finder from crashing when I try to view my external drive?

Hello,
I've read through a few similar posts, but the solutions don't seem to fit my problem. I was moving some files around on an external drive that I've been using for a year with no problems. While moving one file to another folder (within the drive, not between my computer and the drive), it froze up. After waiting for 20 minutes or so, I pulled the drive out and restarted the computer.
Now when I plug the drive back in, it shows up as usual, but when I click on it, Finder crashes immediately. I ran disk utility repair, and it says "The volume appears to be ok" in green, but it still crashes finder when I try to open it. Based on the advice of another post, I ran Console, and copied what I thought to be the relevant portion of the transcript, though I don't know what any of it means ("Uzak" is the name of the drive):

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the configuration that may be related to the problem.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: In each of two steps, you copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is copy; paste; paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, use that.
Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. They do nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to think carefully before running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.

PB=/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy; PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; PC () { o=$(grep [^[:blank:]] "$2"); PR "$1"; }; PF () { o=$($PB -c Print "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); PR "$1"; }; PN () { [[ $o -eq 0 ]] || printf "\n%s: %s\n" "$1" $o; }; { system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | sed '8!d;s/^ *//'; o=$(system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | sed '5,6!d'); fgrep -q P <<< "$o" && o=; PR "POST"; o=$(( $(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{sub("\\.",""); print $2}')/256 )); [[ $o -gt 1024 ]] && printf "\nPageouts: %s MiB\n" $o; s=( $(sar -u 1 10 | sed '$!d') ); [[ ${s[4]} -lt 90 ]] && o=$( printf 'User %s%%\t\tSystem %s%%' ${s[1]} ${s[3]} ) || o=; PR "Total CPU usage"; [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(ps acrx -o comm=Process,ruid=User,%cpu | sed 's/ */:/g' | head -6 | awk -F: '{ printf "%-10s\t%s\t%s\n", $1, $2, $3 }'); PR "CPU usage by process"; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); PR "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); PR "Inserted libraries"; PC "cron configuration" /e*/cron*; o=$(crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "User cron tasks"; PC "Global launchd configuration" /e*/lau*; PC "Per-user launchd configuration" ~/.lau*; PF "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; PF "Per-user login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; PF "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ | wc -l); PN "Restricted user files"; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist") || ID=; ID=${ID:-No bundle ID}; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf '%s\n\t(%s)\n' "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); PR "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); PR "Unsigned shared libraries"; o=$(system_profiler SPFontsDataType | egrep "Valid: N|Duplicate: Y" | wc -l); PN "Font problems"; for d in {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}*; do o=$(ls -A "$d"); PR "$d"; done; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 1 done'
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "Step 1 done" to appear below what you entered. The output of the command will beautomatically copied to the Clipboard. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-Vagain. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; { o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); PR "Login hook"; o=$(sudo crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "Root cron tasks"; o=$(syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail -n25 | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'); PR "Log check"; } 2>&- | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 2 done'
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
You can then quit Terminal. Please note:
☞ Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — type only your login password when prompted.
☞ When you type your password, you won't see what you're typing.
☞ If you don’t have a password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
☞ Step 2 might not produce any output, in which case the Clipboard will be empty. Step 1 will always produce something.
☞ The commands don't change anything, and merely running them will do neither good nor harm.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard. You don't have to copy it. Just paste into a reply
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of either command, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
☞ Don't post the contents of the Terminal window.
☞ Don't paste the output of Step 1 into the Terminal window. Paste it into a reply.
