Finder, Icon Slider bottom doesn't resize

hi, i have a small bug with my icon slider of Finder. it doesn't resize with the small slider at right bottom of a Finder window.
as you can see: the icons in the Finder window are very small (set by the slider right), but the slider left is set to the biggest icon size.
but
if i go to a higher Finder level, change there the size of the icons (possible), return to the old Finder window (picture above), then:
the functionaltiy is actually, that the sliderposition left and right is synchronous.
that well running disappearing after couple of clicks or minutes.

I have the same issue. If I switch from a non-icon view to the icon view, the slider doesn't work. However, if I select icon view for a folder, then close the folder and re-open again, the slider works. I think the invisible database file for the folder display isn't getting updated correctly / at the right time.
Permission repair doesn't help, so I suspect a minor Finder bug. Hopefully 10.7.2 will fix.

Dragging file to Finder-icon in dock doesn't open Finder

Dragging a file from my desktop (e.g. a jpg) to the Finder Icon (so I can archive it in a folder), doesn't open Finder.
The icon in the dock does blink for a second, and then doesn't open FInder, but shows an empty desktop...
What to do?

Thanks Barney,
It works with a window open. I just thought it did also work when there wasn't a window open yet :-)
It used to. I haven't found a hidden preference to turn it back on.

Clicking Finder Icon in Dock Doesn't Open New Finder Window

On my MBP with Lion, the left clicking the finder icon does nothing. It doesn't even change the menu bar focus to finder. I can right click and then open a new window. This works like I am accustomed to on my MBP with Lion.
Any ideas to fix this?
Thanks,
Geraldo.

Open Terminal, type
killall Dock
and press 'return' on the keyboard.
That will solve the issue temporarily. But to fix it permanently you need to go find the 3rd party software that is causing the conflict, probably in your Login Items if a restart didn't fix it. Look here:
 > System Preferences... > Users & Groups | Login Items
Likely suspects are things like
Total Spaces
Path Finder
BetterTouchTool
BetterFinder
but the list of possibilities is endless. Easiset thing to do is just remove EVERYTHING from your login items.

Finder icon on dock doesn't respond

Hi, the finder icon in the dock does not open any window when I click it. This is problem is limited to my account.

Navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Let us know.

When I login, all of my desktop items are gone, the "Finder" icon is bouncing and a message asking to restore windows is blinking but unresponsive. I can't exit out of it. What do I do? I've tried force quitting, and it doesn't get rid of it.

Hey sunnyday7!
Here is an article that can help you address this issue:
OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
Additional Information
OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.

Finder icon weirdness

Has anyone else experienced these two Finder desktop icon issues:
1) Icons not showing up, replaced by a square dotted outlines, until you do something with them (drag them, or Get Info on them) (most commonly on login)
2) Disk icons showing incorrectly, such as USB drives showing up as generic hard-drive icons
There's also the occasional new file doesn't show up bug, but I think that's old. It's possible the above two are old too, but I didn't start noticing them until Lion. Between these and random icon-rearranging, folder window resizing, view options changing... I feel like I'm doing constant battle with the Finder (reminds me of that scene from Airplane! where the plane is punching Striker).

Example of icon weirdness, bottom two should be Firewire:
Move the lower icon a little and it updates:
Another example one icon is missing:
Move the lower icon a little and the icon appears:
Doesn't do it every time, it's intermittent.

Strange finder icon in my dock!

I have a strange Finder icon in my dock that looks like it has a glass box over it. I know it definitely is not supposed to look like that. I have tried the following:
- Restarting
- Moving Dock from side to side to bottom
- Changing wallpaper
- Changing magnification settings

Someone posted this problem a couple of years ago. Doesn't seem like anyone had an answer then.

This is really weird.

How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
Hope this helps!

Can anyone ID this problem? Finder icon started bouncing, unresponsive, now Safe Mode reboot stops 1/3 in and shuts down iMac. Virus?

This started yesterday. I switch on the computer, go into my User account and the Finder icon was bouncing in the deck while a window flashed on about Restoring Windows though you could never click on it because...it kept flashing. The folders on my desktop disappeared so I went into a secondary user account and opened it to find a virus scan. That user account had no issue with the bouncing Finder icon. I downloaded ClamXav and ran it but that being a rarely used user account, it found nothing infected. I went back in in Safe Mode and was able to see my invisible files but the Finder being unresponsive, I could basically only look at them. Also, I couldn't activate ClamXav after downloading it in that user account. All it did was allow me to see my files.
This morning, while I switched on the computer the Safe Mode came on without me holding down the Shift key. Sadly, it didn't get past the third of the little progress bar before shutting down the computer. This happened trying to open either user accounts. I'm shut out. I'm so shocked this happened. I called the ISP and he said everything was normal at his end, naturally in spite of a lot of freezing and not allowing more than one device on wifi at a time. This is an upgraded Internet service after moving to a new place. Otherwise for the few moments it lights up to show me the two users at log in, nothing is visually wrong.
If this has ever happened to anyone, please enlighten me. I've called a Mac repair shop and expect to bring my iMac in. It's barely two years old. : (

When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which iMac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.

Can I get rid of the white frame on Finder icon preview?

This is another one of those things that Leopard has done that makes me wonder what the heck they were thinking! (Don't even get me started on the Windoze95 sidebar!) Why the heck take a wonderful thing like the Finder icon previews in Tiger, and make them solid white squares, with a nasty white border? These are stupid, ugly, and a massive step backward in interface design. I am assuming this is all done for the sake of "cover flow?" With decent Finder Icon previews, who needs it?
But please, please, if you MUST 'fix' things for me, give me the ability to opt out! SO until Apple remembers what GOOD GUI design is, does anyone know how to get rid of the border & white background?
Thanks!

To each his or her own, but I find the frames & white backgrounds, if not particularly attractive, fairly useful for a quick visual reference of the images' proportions (like tall & skinny vs. nearly square). This is pretty hard to see if transparency is enabled & large parts of the image are transparent.
When I do want to see the transparency, I find Cover Flow (& Quickview) very useful, although Cover Flow doesn't always seem to show alpha channels while QuickView always does. Plus, both versions of the technology allow much larger previews than in conventional icon Finder windows & support scroll wheels, making it easy to review large numbers of image files quickly at high resolution literally at the flick of a finger.
FWIW, at first I thought this was just a gimmick with little practical value. Now that I have started using it, particularly in conjunction with smart searches, I think it is a great addition to the OS, one that is so intuitive & efficient that it makes the old icon view look like an antiquated relic from a time when computers were not powerful enough to manage more than tiny thumbnails.
I'm not trying to convince you about this as you seem adamant about not liking it, but I do think it is the logic progression for browsing through ever larger numbers of ever higher resolution images, & is only going to get better at this as it becomes more refined. Perhaps someday a future version will meet your needs.

Assuming the screenshots are of the same page, the one that's taller is either taller because the minimum page height has been changed or due to some page content (that's not marked as a Footer Item) being located in the new space. This may be an empty text frame or the transparent area of a widget, text frame or other object.

Finder is not working properly mac osx 10.7.4 it no longer launches a new window when I click the finder icon - I have to right click and open a new window

Hi
Just recently Finder has stopped behaving as it normally would. Clicking the icon doesn't seem to launch the finder window. I have to right click the finder icon and then click New Finder Window. Sometimes there is no response for sometime and then finally it does open a window. If I click finder when a wondow is open it does not shift focus to finder anymore. I am sure this did not use to be the case?
PS. not sure if this is how to put things on the forum as haven't used them before!
Julian

Click on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
Terminal
and press 'return'.
In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
killall Finder; killall Dock
(that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
Test using Finder as normal. Same problem?

I am trying to install the update on iPhoto on my newMac laptop. It tell me to go to finder and hit the "go meu" in the finder. pulled down the go menu at the top of the screen and the finder icon on the bottom of ther screen. Where is this "go menu? Apple used to be inutitive - it is getting as hard to operate as Microsfot was in the beginning of the 200s.

Hisdoc,
This is a user to user forum. So, you cannot expect an instant answer - it is not a live chat.
Not sure why you can't find the "Go" option. It is in the top menu:

Using Custom Icons - Changing the Finder Icon

So I know you can just do a simple copy and paste under "get info" in order to change icons for applications and folders, but how do you do this for Finder? I know this is possible, if not for the simplest reason that one of the downloads that Apple has featured on this site for icons has a Finder icon (bad logic I know, but it seems odd that Finder would be the only icon you couldn't change). The problem is, how do you "Get Info" on Finder? Where would you find finder (no pun intended)?
Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the help in finding the icon, the only problem is that it won't let me alter it. I even changed permissions on the bottom of the "get info" screen to allow the current user (also the administrator) to both read and write, but it wouldn't let me paste a different styled icon over it. Any suggestions on how to change the Finder icon to a custom one? And ya we were thinking about how we would change it back too, but realized its not really that big of an issue because all our friends and even we have multiple macs, so we could always just copy it back that way.
