Finder will restart when i try and open a finder window, how can i fix this?

I cant seem to find a fix through google, most people have it happing ever 5- 10 seconds. Mine issue comes up about 50% of the time, times the finder window will stay open other times it will just close down finder, all desktop icon disapear. after about 5 - 10 seconds it comes back.
May be a related/separate issue - I have also noticed that when I am transferring a bunch of files from an SD card, that I have to go back because it didn't transfer all the files even though the progress bar says its done.
Thanks in advance!
Rick

anyone?

My iPhone restarts when I try to open my photos app, how do I fix this

Please help!!! Every time I try and open my photos app my screen turns green and restarts, how do ifix this? I tried turning off and on what can I do?

Hello Hbyars33,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Photos app on your iPhone.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like the one you described (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I transfered data from my old Mac, but now it tells me "No Access" when I try to open the files. How can I fix that?

I transfered data from my old Mac, but now it tells me "No Access" when I try to open the files. How can I fix that?

That's the problem, then. The files are under your 'old' user account. You should be able to access them if you log into your old account. However, that's not going to let you move them to your new user account. It's for situations like this that I always create a root user account (although I seldom access it). With a root user account, you can copy files from one user account to another. Note that someone may come up with a better idea than what I would use, but here goes.
Read http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 and set up a root user. Then you can transfer files from one account to another. If you like, you can delete this account after you've moved your files.
Good luck,

However, once I try to make a purchase and enter my login info, I get the message: "We could not complete your ITunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-9808). There was an unknown error in the ITunes Store. Please Try Again Later." I have been "trying again" for 2 weeks. How can I fix this?

I updated my iPad to 8.0.2 and now I'm stuck in waiting when I try to update my apps. How can I fix this?

I updated my iPad to 8.0.2 and now I'm stuck in waitiIng when trying to update apps. hiw do I fix this?

I Have posted this boilerplate over and over again here. Hopefully something in here will help fix your "waiting" apps issue.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

Firefox opens the old browsing window (previous session) every time i try and open a new window, how do I change this back?

Every time I go to open a new window, the old one will come up instead. For a while it was working fine, then I kept needing the old window and would use the 'restore previous session' feature to access this. However, even after I didn't need it anymore (and without me selecting the feature, it would still open the previous session.

Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" "Show a blank page"
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I'm using a Dell inpirion mini laptop, and I connected using a AT&T sim card, I download the AT&T Communication Manager Software and when i try to go to the iTunes Store it gives me the Error Code Ox80090318, it reads that to check my network connection, How ever I do have access to the internet. any ideas? Thank you. DanDiMan007

Thank You Eric, I contacted Cisco, they have nothing for Maverick OS.. too new for them.. It still works fine but I can't access my router settings If needed if I needed to view my settings, to change a password or add more guest access. Right now if I had to do something, They said they would have to make the changes locally through their website and there would be a fee because I'm out of warranty.. Since I'm able to still connect since upgrading to Maverick, I assumed Apple included a patch or something in the Maverick upgrade..

My iphone 4 will only sync certain songs and album from my itunes, how can I fix this?

I have an iphone 4, and when I go to drag stuff to sync it to the phone it will only sync certain albums or songs, and not others. Mind you, these bands it will not sync now I have had on the phone in the past so I do not understand whats going on, I've tried redownloading Itunes, and factory setting my phone and none of which have seemed to work if someone can help that would be awesome!

i had the same problem and just figured it out.
plug in your iPhone and click on your phone under Devices in iTunes.
then, at the top, where it says "Summary, Info, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Photos" click Music
make sure the "Sync Music" box is checked along with "Entire music libary" and apply the changes.
mine wasnt checked and it only had 37 songs in my phone out of 927 that were on my iTunes.
hope that helps!
(also make sure your AutoFill doesnt have any weird settings.)

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

HT1229 Ive move photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto. When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found. I have thousands. How do I get rid of these images?

Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto. When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found. I have thousands. How do I get rid of these images?
Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups) It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
Can this be done?

You moved what photos from where and to where?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
