Finder not working, responding.

I set up another user account on my server (in system prefs, not a directory user account) and when I try to use it (or the built in guest account) the Finder is non-responsive. I can launch Safari and other apps, but the Finder won't show windows of any kind. It sometimes bounces in the dock fo no reason and the fan on my MacMini server starts to really get loud. I also have problems logging out, but eventually get it.
This does not happen with my admin account that stays launched to run applications for the office.
Any ideas.

Jaime, here's a copy of process that keep cycling. The problem though is that by the time these logs happen, I've already had the problems and tried to fix it. I ultimately just deleted the extra local account. The issue I had happened between 9:30 and 10:15, no later than 10:30 am. This is as far back as the logs are showing (using the Server.app app on my Mac Pro to get server log)

Finder not working, when click the infinity sigh comes, can't open any file

finder not working, when click the infinity sigh comes, can't open any file?

That could be an indication your drive is failing. If you do not have a current Backup, that is top priority.

"Find" Not Working in Adobe Reader X

I Installed ARX on a Win7/64 machine a few months ago...it seems to work fine. But today I tried to use the "find" function; everything seemed normal, I asked it to find the word "smith", but it wasn't there (but it really was). I then tried the word "the", not there either. Neither was "and". What's going on? [FWIW, I use Norton if that's a problem for "find".] Thnx
I just realized that it does work on some documents. Would working or not working depend on how the PDF was generated? For ex, some of my PDFs came from a scanner, some were web-PDF conversions, some were exports (like from Family Tree Maker), some were originally PDFs, ....

Scanned PDFs that have not had OCR performed will just contain an image of text, so they cannot be searched. Other files may have messed up fonts. Without looking at eachc particular document, it's hard to say what's wrong.

Icon Preview In Finder Not Working Properly

Ever since upgrading to Lion I've had the issue of icon preview not working properly in finder. This mostly occurs with movie files such as .wmv files. Some take a long time to show a preview and some don't even show a preview. In Snow Leopard this was never an issue.
This also seems to happen in stacks as well. I'll get a greyed out box with a dsah borded. Seems as though it's the large files that do this.
Anyone have any ideas?

I'm experiencing the same thing but with all kinds of files that have shown a preview in snow leopard: pictures, PDF-documents, music (with album art). It seems that previews are not created automatically whenever I change the name of a file or edit it in any other way, the preview shows up instantly. Rebooting works, too.
This is really annoying and a little online search shows, several people are having the same problem. As far as I know, there's no fix yet.

Labview 7 for Linux on Redhat9,NI example Finder not working.

I have Labview7 for Linux on Redhat9, installed at /usr/local/lv71. "NI example Finder" is not working, the function of browser, search,submit,none is working. When I try to close it, the window looks dead, cannot close it. I will force to close it. What is the problem? Where are the examples?
Another question: the simple help text is working, but the details help is not working. I can open the help file by Mozilla. But I want the help could be linked, like what it is in Windows platform.
Thanks

Hello �
If whenever you type �labview� at the prompt, LabVIEW 7.1 is launched, it probably means that the paths are setup to launch 7.1 but it doesn�t necessarily mean that you do not have LabVIEW 7.0 installed.
If you only installed LabVIEW 7.1 in that computer, it is possible that somebody else had installed LabVIEW 7.0 before.
What I suggest doing is to run the UNINSTALL scripts for both, LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1, and reinstall LabVIEW 7.1 as root, not as user.
Hope that helps!

Finder not working after installing Leopard!!!

Hi everyone.
I'm getting a strange Finder behavior on my Intel iMac (not the newest version) after installing Leopard. The thing is, after instalation, when I start the computer, the top bar on the screen starts blinking, and there's no way to open a Finder window. And it stays like that forever! I tried to open Finder from the Dock, but the blue dot of the active programs blinks 3 or 4 times and then disapears. Plus, the only way to access the Apple logo on the corner to switch the computer off or restart it, is by opening one other program from the dock (in this case I have Safari running), because this way the top bar stops blinking.
So, I thought I should try to update Leopard to 10.5.1, and this could solve the problem. But no. It searches for new software updates, tells me that there are new updates, but I cannot see them nor install them!
This is really weird and annoying!
Anyone had this problem? Please, help me.
P.S.: Yes, I've tryed a second install of Leopard. Same thing!

Do NOT install any updates until you resolve the problem, which is unrelated to any updates. Updating a computer that is not working correctly will only make the problems worse, never better.
If this is the second install, was it on an erased HD or did you import your previous programs, etc?
It sounds like you might have some errant 3rd party software running.
Did you run a disk check and file permission verify/repair before installing?
Check your startup program window and remove everything there. Write them down so you can put them back later.

Finder not working Mac OS X 10.6.3

I am running a macbook pro which i start up with a flash drive. It has Mac OS X 10.6.3.
But, when I try to open a folder or finder window, the Finder stops working and I get the spinning pinwheel. After it stops, I can relaunch it with the force quit window, but the same problem persists. It is a pretty old laptop, somewhere around 2006 I think, but I never had problems with Finder when I started up from the hard drive.
If there is a known solution for this I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
(PS I tried verifying the disk and permissions. There were lots of permissions to repair, but I did it, and I'm still having the finder problem.)

Flash drives are extremely tempramental for booting. Any other USB devices will slow them down. Also most are not preformatted for Mac booting:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3003
The webcam is a built-in USB device, so it may have something to do with it.
You are better off getting a Firewire hard drive. Firewire 400 to 800 cables exist if needed.

Finder not working... I'm getting annoyed at Apple.

Hi. Long time Apple Fan, 5 years now, heavy computer user for 15 years.
I recently installed a Brother Fax/Scan/Copy machine on my iMac with Leopard. The software that comes with it gives me the option to scan into PDF in one small step. Easy. I love it. However, the software is weak in that it doesn't clearly show where the pdf's are by default saved. I've solved that problem for the Black and White scans, but for the color scans, because I do them so rarely, I've not taken the time to figure it out.
So last night, I was scanning my Passport because I'm getting a new one soon. In the process, every time a scan completes, it opens the file in preview with the .pdf file and the default file-naming convention of CCI00001.pdf, CCI00002.pdf, and so on sequentially. Well, thinking I could easily find the files later, I just closed the Preview window thinking I'd open them later.
Well, the only way I can find these files is under the 'File>Open Recent' in Preview. Problem is, I've opened a few files with Preview since these scans, so I think, I'll just go to finder and type in the file name. Well, Finder can't find them. The ONLY way I can get to the files is through 'Open Recent' in Preview. However, some of them are no longer recent, so 'poof' they've disappeared. So I thought, well, let me click 'save as' in Preview and that would open the folder they are in. Well, it did, but it opened it in a finder window that is not the usual finder window. I.e., I can't navigate away from the folder that the 'Save as' function in Preview opens. Well, I can, but it doesn't clearly show me where that folder is that it default opened. I use the drop down arrow to open the 'advanced' finder window or whatever, but there is no 'root structure' (for lack of a better comparison that you can find in Windows) the name of the folder happens to coincide with my 'user' folder, but it doesn't have the little 'user' icon that you normally see next to your user folder in finder. It's just a normal blue folder that happens to have the same name as my user folder. So, I thought, why don't I create a new folder with a peculiar name that I can search for in finder- I called it 'Baffle Me' ... keep in mind, this is within Preview, File>Save As...> not changing the directory that it defaults to even though it's the name of my home folder or whatever, and then adding a folder called 'Baffle Me'... I saved in that folder. Logic would conclude that I could do a search within Finder now for a folder called 'Baffle Me' and wala- I'd find the folder where all my .PDF scans are. Nada. I thought, well maybe OSX needs to take time to scan it again- I'll come back tomorrow. So I did. Nada. I'm at a lost here. How can a file be on my computer and Finder not find it??
Can someone tell me how to find these scans? Did they get thrown out because I just closed the Preview window instead of saving them and they were in some sort of 'temp' directory? That doesn't make sense though, because I can still go back in 'File>Open Recent...> in Preview and find them. I'm at a loss here, and I'm really getting annoyed.
Ideas? Thanks in advance for your responses.

{quote}Well, the only way I can find these files is under the 'File>Open Recent' in Preview.{quote}
Command click on the filename on the preview window and it will give you the path to the file... That is also a live path, so if you click on the folder that the file is in you will be taken to where the file is. Or click on the Sidebar button on the preview window and click on the gear/wheel on the bottom and select sort by path. It will then show the path under the file name...
You should also play with spotlight to see if you can figure out why it was not working for you. I was able to find pdf's by name as well as text within them... It should've found them really easy with the file names.
{quote} I use the drop down arrow to open the 'advanced' finder window or whatever, but there is no 'root structure' (for lack of a better comparison that you can find in Windows){quote}
Click on the hard drive icon in the sidebar and you see the 'root structure'. The mac layout is no different than Windows...

Finder not working well-show folders empty

Hi,
for some times now I have problems with finder.
First I thought it was a problem accessing the network but I also have the problem with the local folders!!
After logging to my account, it works well for some times and then suddenly (may be after accessing machine on my network - Synology NAS) finder begin to show all folders as they are empty!!!
The funny thing is that if for instance I do a "file/open" within an app or do an attachment and so access a "windows like finder" it works!!
But if I use the finder ... folders are empty (shown as ...).
The only thing to get everything back is to restart the computer (and many times I have to hard stop the machine as the finder is not working anymore and my mac mini don't want to restart. I keep the desktop background and nothing happened!!
The strange thing is that it seems I don't have the problem on my MacBook Pro!!
The mac mini was a clean install!
So many problem with Yosemite!!!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is 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, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Finder not working anymore in Mavericks

I can not open Finder,anyone can help me to fix it?I wana download mavericks again to re install but my app store can not download maverick anymore,dont know why

I have solved this by clicking on the little display icon at the top right of the screen and then clicking on Display Mirroring On. Not a very technical answer but it worked!

Finder not working...what should I do?

Finder hasn't been working for the past few days; so none of the icons on my desktop show up. I can sometimes open the Trash folder from the Dock, but cannot seem to click on anything. I have tried relaunching Finder and restarting my MacBook, but it's just not working.
I created a new admin account and Finder works fine, but since I cannot access Finder on the other account, I cannot transfer permissions from the +Get Info+ menu.
What can I do to make Finder work again on my main account? Please help!

Welcome to the Discussions.
The Installation Disks, are the Disks that shipped with your Machine, Disk 1 and 2. These are vital to the smooth running running of your System, and are used for several tasks, including Troubleshooting.
So, it's important that you locate them.
In the absence of them, for now, do this.
/Users/Yourname/Library/Preferences, locate com.apple.finder.plist and move it to the Desktop, Reboot. If all works ok, you can trash that file.

Spotlight and Find not working

Hi everyone
Apologies if I'm covering old ground here.
I don't use either Spotlight or Find very often, but discovered recently that neither now works. From other posts, I think this may have started when I installed the 4.11 software update. There are no new software updates available (ie I have already got the most recent Security Update, which seems to have helped in some other similar cases).
Spotlight just doesn't find anything. Finder's cog-symbol-thing spins for as long as I let it, with no result.
I have tried trashing the spotlight.plist file, and quitting the SystemUIServer process from within Activity Monitor. I have also rebuilt the disc using Disk Warrior. None of this helped.
I tried dragging the hard disc to the Privacy pane of Spotlight to force it to re-index, but nothing can be dragged to the Privacy pane.
All suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks, Peter

Thanks to everyone for their comments. There seem to be quite a few other threads detailing a variety of problems with Spotlight, but as yet I haven't found anything that helps.
Brief confusing addition: I just installed the recent iTunes update 7.6.1, and afterwards ran fsck just to see if everything was ok/no worse. When I rebooted, the little Spotlight icon at the top right had a pulsing white dot in the "magnifying lens". When I clicked on it, I got a drop down menu telling me that Spotlight was busy indexing, including a time bar that was apparently estimating how long this would take. Then it stopped, and all is exactly as it was previously, ie not working.
It could have been worse, I suppose - others seem to have got stuck in "permanently indexing" mode. I wish Apple would address this problem, but I'm not holding my breath - so any further ideas would be very welcome.
Thanks, Peter

Why is my FINDER not working?

From the beginning of having Yosemite I've had an issue opening my FINDER for ANY function. I click the button to access a folder and it holds for 3 seconds, doesn't show any icons, and then closes. Once that happens my screen flashes the folders and it's back to normal.
(Macbook Pro 15", Mid-2010, 2.53 Core i5, 8gb memory)

I'm having the same problem.
Macbook Pro: OSX 10.9.1 / Remote Desktop Client 3.7.1 with remote login and screen sharing turned on
Mac Pro: OSX 10.9.1 / Remote Desktop Client 3.7.1 with remote login and screen sharing turned on
I am able to create access via mac pro to laptop and visa versa on the finder level and access all of my files but the screen sharing still will not work. Even when I'm logged in successfully on the finder level, the screen share still does not recognize the password and gives the error: "Authentication failed to "xxxx". Please verify you have entered the correct name and password".
I would expect that if it were a network issue, that I wouldn't be able to connect at all and it wouldn't be denying access based on an "incorrect" user or password.
Wish this could get fixed. I used it quite often prior to the Mavericks install.

Bridge CS3 "Edit Find" not working after optimizing cache.

Power PC G5
Mac OSX v.10.4.11
3GB RAM
Photoshop CS3
After optimizing the cache, my Edit>Find feature does not work. I looked into the Bridge Preferences and could not find anything under Thumbnails or Cache that can turn it back on. Please advise.

Make sure you have Bridge 2.1.1.9.
Purge the cache for each folder through the Tools menu in Bridge.

Mac Safari and Finder not Working

Hello,
I use MAC Book Pro Retina, OSX 10.9.5.
I was facing the add problem in safari. If I used to click anything a new tab used to open with the add. I used add block plug in but it didnt work. Then I thought of unsinstalling safari. So I went to application and deleted all the system files linked with safari. But as a consequence, my finder also stopped working, now I am not able to access any data in my Mac. When I restart my computer, as soon as the desktop loads, the cursor goes in wait, and it remains on wait forever. All the desktop files are not visible. Only browser ( chrome) and apps are working fine. I don't know how to resolve this issue. I want to get my safari back and also want my Finder to work fine. Please try to help me.
Regards
Rahul
