Finder refreshes if I right click (Ctrl-Click)

Every-time I try to right click or Ctrl-Click on an icon, it refreshes my Finder. I have tried the black optical mac mouse, a Logitech MX 700 wireless, and a regular Logitech optical. When I say refresh I mean more of a restart. My open windows are closed and my desktop icons go away then come back. My open apps are not affected. Help!!!

Hi Matthew,
It sounds like it could be an item in /library/contextual menu items. Drag the contents of that folder to the desktop and test again. If that sorts it, put the items back one at a time to find the culprit.
If that's not it, navigate to ~(yourhome)/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Finder.crash.log open it and paste the contents here for the latest Finder crash and maybe we can figure what's going on.

  • Finder Relaunches every 6 right clicks

    Hi everyone, I have had a day of clearing things out, but now, my window Im working in within finder is disappearing on every 6th right click, so imagine I am looking at my folder and I right click to get info or the like, the window will disappear and all the icons on the desktop will disappear and then reappear a second late, no quit message just disappear, I have done a full Onyx cleanup, but still there, I am using Transmission a lot, but have only had this problem for 24 hours, could it be torrent related, I did upgrade stuffit last night, but apart from that no other system changes.
    Any ideas?

    Dubaimac: Looks like you can put all your contextual menu plug-ins back except the Stuffit-CM plugin if Dan's experience applies to yours as well.
    Of course there is a chance that two different plug-ins are fighting each other trying to do things that while done separately would be legal, but done together cause the Finder to crash..
    Dan Frimi: Did you have any other contextual plug-ins besides the StuffitCM plugin in your contextual menu items plugin folder? Looking to see if maybe there were other common plug-ins to eliminate this possibility.
    If we can determine that you both had different other plug-ins, then we can isolate the StuffitCM as the sole cause of this issue, and you should both write complaints to their tech support department about the plug-in to get a fix... Dan, did you check to see if there was an update for that plug-in?

  • I downloaded Mavericks, but now I cannot launch Finder. When I right click it says "Application Not Responding."  And when I single click, it says "Finder Cannot be Opened."  I tried to contact Apple Support, but blocks the sharescreen from launching too.

    I'm not sure what the deal is...  It won't allow a multitude of programs to launch or run...  I re-installed Mavericks and tried repairing the disk, etc...  Does anyone have a fix?  Thank you!

    Hey John,
    I managed to search Consule from the spotlight and pull up the crash logs...  I had to Select, Copy, and Paste extremely quick, as the crash is in a continuous loop cycle and keeps filling the logs and deleting the old ones.
    Thank you in advanced for any help or suggestions!

  • When right mouse click on a file or folder the finder refreshes

    Hi everybody!
    I am having problems with the finder of my PowerBook G4. I have recently reinstalled Mac OS 10.4.8. I have installed Final Cut Studio and right now I am having problems with the finder. When I right click on a file or folder the finder seems to refresh itself and closes all the windows I have there.
    It doesn´t happen all the time but I am getting worried about it. Please, help me.
    Thank you in advance.

    This is the Finder crashing and relaunching. It's probably caused by a dodgy contextual menu module (CMM). I've noticed people complain that a Stuffit Module is causing this problem. CMM's are stored at HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items or Home/Library/Contextual Menu Items. Try removing them and logging out and back in again, a little trial an error will find the one causing the problem.

    Why are you trying to convert MP3 to AAC?
    This is not really needed unless you require an AAC file.

  • Right click context menu opens then closes quickly in Finder

    After my upgrade to Snow Leopard, I now have a problem with Finder. When I right click on something to get the context menu, sometimes, it works fine, and others, the contextual menu shows up for a second then closes. The only way I can select any of those options is to right click and hold, then select. This is getting annoying.
    It seems like maybe a corrupt preference? Anyone seen this before or have an idea how to solve it?

    I knew I wasn't alone! This has happened with my install of Snow Leopard as well. The only difference is that this started happening immediately after the install and I did a fresh formatted install, not an upgrade.
    I made a short video about it here:
    http://qik.com/video/2742618
    Any help on this would be appretiated. It seems like this isn't too widespread an issue, but who knows. People might not be piping up about it. It is incredibly annoying, however.

  • Mouse right click randomly causes Finder to reboot

    A random reboot of the Finder occurs when I right click in an open folder or on the desktop. The desktop will blank, all icons temporarily disappear and open folders will close. I then have to reopen folders to resume work.
    I have tried:
    -rebooting
    -different mice
    -repairing permissions and disk
    This occured sometime after installing 10.4.8.
    I have an iMac 24" Core 2 Duo.
    Thank you for any help.

    Often this is caused by an incompatible Contextual Menu Item. If you have installed any third-party CMIs, then I suggest you remove them and restart. If the problem ceases then you will know a third-party CMI is the culprit.
    Another possible cause is a corrupted preference file. Navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder, locate the com.apple.finder.plist file and drag it to the Trash (do not delete.) Now restart the computer. If this fixes the problem then delete the one in the Trash. If it doesn't fix the problem then move the one in the Trash back to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.

  • Right Click Menu Keeps Popping Up (Finder)

    Hello all, just wondering if anyone else is having this problem in the Finder. If I right-click on something in the Finder, then left-click on something else, the right-click menu keeps popping up even if I have only one finger on my trackpad.
    I tried removing my entire hand from anywhere near the trackpad and carefully touching the button with my index finger with all the rest of my fingers curled away and it still pops up the right-click menu.
    The only thing that seems to cure it is switching focus to Firefox or some other application, then going back to the Finder. Clicking on a non-icon in the finder seems to help too. However, after right-clicking something then switching to a different icon, the right-click menu pops up again. Very annoying.
    Anyone know a quick fix for this? Thanks in advance.
    Message was edited by: ctrvl

    That's right, burgback. I actually think I may have found the issue: I use a prefpan / application called FolderGlance that lets you customize folders that appear in the contextual (right-click) menu. It even lets you dive into subfolders from an expanding right-click menu. Think about it as "stacks on steroids" because it lets you continue to dive into subfolders (unlike stacks...grrr).
    Anyway, disabling the prefpane and removing the plugin from the ~/Library/Contextual\Menu\Items/ directory seems to have fixed the problem for now. I'll update if it doesn't, but I've been operating for about 30 minutes now without issue. Formerly the problem would rear its head about every 10 seconds I was in the Finder.
    The only unfortunate part is...I love FolderGlance way more than stacks and I'm sad to see it go.

  • Right-click in safari 4.0.4??

    Just updated my Safari to 4.0.4, only to find I can't right-click anymore. My mac is from early 2007, OS X tiger and so my right-click command is "ctrl + click". however, in the new safari that now just opens the link, rather than giving me the right-click options box. How do I get them instead?

    If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
    N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
    (If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Safari 4.0.4 for download can be found here:
    http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
    Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
    Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now both Tiger and Leopard uses Safari 4.0.4. If Safari 4.0.4 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    (Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as Safari 3.x uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 4.0.4.
    You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
    • Home/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Need to right click a Mighty Mouse

    I'm used to right clicking my mouse. I just got a new iMac and find the lack of right clicking ability most distressing!!!

  • Set my background image with right click?

    Is there a way to set a picture as my desktop background without looking through tiny pictures in system prefs? I just want the right click feature. The only way this works is if you right click a picture ONLINE, but this doesnt work in my pictures folder...

    You can always drag a picture from your folder into Safari, then right click and select "Use Image as Desktop Picture"--might hit a snag though with some things in portrait orientation, they can display in landscape.
    Another option is make an Automator action, save it as a plug-in for Finder. You then right click, go to More, Automator, and select your action and get the new Desktop.

  • Firefox makes an annoying bing noise every time I right click or click on any of the task bar buttons (the file edit view, ect ones)

    Alright, so I got firefox, opened it up, and I had been trying to figure out how to change my homepage, so I clicked file, and it made this really irritating bing noise, which definitely caught my attention. So as I looked through the other menus at hand for a solution to the problem it continued making the noise. When I didn't find a way, I right clicked and made the noise when I did that too, right clicking didn't help me solve my problem either, so I had to resort to help, and most of what I saw already in their that could have help I didn't understand, something about genome default sounds and yeah. Please help.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I opened up firefox and clicked file.

    Press ''ALT'' then press '''V T M''' then go to View--Toolbars and select '''Navigation Bar''' and also '''Bookmarks Toolbar'''

  • Why does my right click has no function after update to 10.7.2

    I have just updated my software to 10.7.2 and it seems that whenever I right-clicked, there is no function to it. Which means I can't compress my documents, etc. Has 10.7.2 disenabled it? Or is it just my mac that is encountering problems? 

    go to system preferences, then your device. There you'll find the option to right click. if it is off turn it on, if it is on, turn it off and on.
    send feedback to apple about this issue if it was on but didn't work.
    People have found toggling the option off and on fixes their issue. that and restarting the computer.

  • Creating a new document in Finder with right-click--How?

    Is there a way to create a new document in a Finder folder by right-clicking (or Ctrl-left)? So that the new file will be created at that very spot, in that very folder.
    In Windows-Explorer this was quick and easy. Just right-click and you could choose from a menu to create a new empty doc of the most popular (installed) programs. Text file was mandatory. The file was created where the curser was at. VERY handy as that way you didn't have to open the application, create a new doc and then when saving having to crawl your way all the way to the position in the Explorer/ Finder.
    Since I started with Apple and Tiger I've been missing this feature and Snow Leopard still does not seem to have it. Or did I miss something? I checked all the menue as well. There's not even a "Create new document". Only a "Create new folder". 
    I was just reminded of this when I wanted to create a new file on an external drive on a server to save some text in it. There was no way other than first opening Textedit, saving the empty file on the local Mac, THEN transferring the empty file to the server. Only THEN I could open it and edit it.
    There MUST be a quicker way.
    Also, in Windows you could edit this list in the menu (and add programs that would not by themselves do this). Is there a way for the Mac?
    Cheers,
    Jay

    I might have just found a solution myself:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/10432377?messageID=10432377&amp%3b#1043237 7
    It seems other people are wondering too.
    And for those of you who don't understand why this is useful: Try it.
    Open Textedit, Apple-N, and then save the darned file somewhere deep in the labyrinth of the Finder where you've just been but withouth the file. It takes AGES.
    I, on the other hand -- at least in Windows --, right-click, new, double-click AAAND I'm on editing the file.
    VERY quick.
    It's beyond me why this is not possible on a Mac.
