Finder suddenly appears as Totalfinder and is not working

Finder on my Macbook Air suddently turned into Totalfinder one day.  I do not know how this happened.  It is now causing problems to my computer and is often not opening.  It also tells me that it is not registered, but I do not recall ever installing it.  Sometimes, the trackpad also fails to work and I cannot use it to select anything.  I would like to get Finder back and remove Totalfinder.  How can I do this?  This notebook is only a few months old so I do not understand why this is happening.  Thank you. 

I have managed to resolve this problem.

  • I've lost my phone and I've tried using 'Find My iPhone' on iCloud and its not working?

    I lost my iphone lastnight and I've tried using the Find my Iphone app on icloud but it just says 'no devices'

    Did you set it up on your iPhone prior to it being lost?  If not, then it wont find it.  Otherwise it requires the iPhone to be powered on and have an internet connection and location services turned on to be found.  If somebody restored it via itunes or the settings menu, then your account info is no longer on the phone and it'll be impossible to use "find my iPhone" to find it.

  • What to do about Finder options for "all desktops" and "none" not working

    I have seen only one thread dealing with an issue similar, not identical, to mine.  Hope I'm not missing something obvious.
    I have experiment with the finder showing after upgrading to Lion.  I have consistently found that the show options of "all desktops" and in "none" needs to be altered after I re-boot.  If I have it as 'all desktops' it doesn't show unless I change it to "none."  If I have it set to "none" then I have to change it to "all desktops" or "this desktop" after re-booting.
    I even tried to reduce the number of desktops.  That didn't work.
    I tried deleting my finder preferences file and that hasn't worked.
    Is this a bug or do I need to do some other process?
    Thanks.

    Solved through applecare; had me delete all of my preferences and start over (with saving things like mail, dock settings).  Has worked fine for weeks.

  • Drag and drop not working.  When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program.  Happens in finder numbers and firefox

    Drag and drop not working.  When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program.  Happens in finder numbers, firefox, and when trying to move any file from the downloads folder.
    This is a serious pain.
    Please help.

    Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

  • I was on an online course website, logged in and working on an assignment. Suddenly the page disappeared and was not on the tabs either. I went to the home page and tried to log back in and it said I was already logged in on another browser window

    Question
    I was on an online course website, logged in and working on an assignment. Suddenly the page disappeared and was not on the tabs either. I went to the home page and tried to log back in and it said I was already logged in on another browser window and if I proceeded to log in again the assignment I was working on would be ended and I would receive a zero. I can't locate the browser window that I was signed in on. Help...I don't want to get a zero, but don't know how to get back into the website under my original log in & get back to my half completed assignment.

    Hi,
    Please try this: In Firefox '''History''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') and check if it is listed in either '''Recently Closed Tabs''' or '''Recently Closed Windows''' or in the list below. If you cannot find it click '''Show All History''', on the left of the window click '''Today''' below '''History''' and on the right look for the site entry corresponding closely to the time when you lost it. If you cannot see the column heading named '''Visit Date''', you may have to enable it by right-clicking on the column header strip.
    Also please note that the online course site may have redirected you to another site for the test, so it is also a good idea to look into site entries that may match the time.

  • LR 4 - image does not appear in Preview and will not print`

    The selected image appears on the main/center panel but not in the preview screen.  Printing results in a white sheet of paper with no image at all.  The image has been updated to LR 4 - but made no difference.  I've served help and the forums (where i saw mention of similar problems, but no comments or guidance on the problem).  What am I doing wrong?

    The problem began with the installation of LR4. I print directly from LR4 to my HPZ3100. I routinely select "print preview" in the print dialogue box. Now the first print I see the preview and then it prints. If I select a second print job and use the "print preview" the print preview screen comes up blank and never loads. If I try to delete the print job, it just never responds (resolves) so I have to turn off the computer and the printer and restart to clear the print job. if I don't use the print preview, it prints just fine (except that I'm not able to check what's about to be printed). Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.

    Bill, if this is only happening some of the time, then we are probably looking at a resource issue. Any pattern in when things won't print? e.g. Certain file type won't but others will? Or is it more of a timing/order thing? e.g. First file prints fine, second does not? VStromee, do no files print for you? Or is it like Bill and sometimes the print and other times they do not? Did you install any new software recently or have any updates to the OS or any application that has printing capabilities?

  • I am having trouble with my iPad, i can start it, but the iPad does not work. i tried to use the power and home button at the same time, the apple logo appears, but the iPad does not work. What am I suppose to do?

    After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.

    Not sure if it will help but if you had registered it with Apple you could try unregistering it.  To do this:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on ">" to the right of the device you want to unregister
    Click "unregister"
