Help! After installing 10.7 the finder goes into a 'quit unexpectedly' loop.

Any ideas? I've unplugged all peripherals and deleted all login items. I've seen on other forums that deleting the finder's preferences file in your user library may be a solution on earlier OS versions, but
a) there no longer appears to be a user library
b) how can you get to the file (if it's elsewhere) if you can't open finder?
Help!

Now managed to unhide the user library via the terminal, delete the two finder pref files = no difference...just going to have to create a new user account and import all the docs etc into that via another Mac using remote access...sigh

  • After installing 10.6.8, printer goes to pause mode, reinstalling printer doesn't change anything.

    Printer is an HP 5850 connected to Apple Time Capsule via ethernet, and shared by two Apple Macs each running 10.6.8.  Printer was using HP Photosmart P1000 driver as there is no HP 5850 driver available for 10.6.  Printer was working fine in both text and graphics/photos until software update 10.6.8 was installed.  Now, after starting a print, the printer goes into pause mode.  Continued attempts to resume printing result in printer going to pause mode.  Deleting and reinstalling printer doesn't do anything, nor does installing latest HP printer drivers.  What is going on here?

    The 10.6.8 update changed a number of printer backend services. For many brands of printer this has stopped them from printing, although usually there is an error message associated with the print job rather than the queue simply pausing.
    You can check if you are getting an error by selecting the paused job in the print queue and pressing the blue Job Info button. If there is no mention of a backend failure then you may be able to get your printer working again by simply opening Print & Fax, selecting the HP printer and presssing the minus button under the list to remove the printer. Then click the plus button to add the printer again.
    If selecting the Job Info button for the paused print job does reveal that there has been some sort of backend failure then have a look at this thread. There is a lot of information to go through but there are responses with links to scripts that can recover your previous 10.6.7 backend services, assuming you are using Time Machine.

  • After upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the virtual memory while using external HD

    after upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the "virtual memory size" while using external HD. I check it using Activity Monitor and found that "Finder" wll increase the "Virtual Memory Size" and "Private Memory Size". and then after a while. the system told me my HD is full and hanging there.
    My External HD is 1TB. and I have installed new version Paragon NTFS for Mac V.9.01. I am not sure it is related or not.
    but I attached my external HD. the "Finder" will start to increase the "Virtual Memory Size".
    please help out this case and solve this issue.
    thank you !!!

    The one has nothing to do with the other. Virtual memory size and Private memory size are used by developers to analyze their software. it has nothing to do with anything related to the user.

  • After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop?

    After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop? Where would I find it?

    Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • I'm installing 10.7 and it will not finish.  The time goes into negative minutes.

    I'm installing 10.7 and it will not finish.  The time goes into negative minutes.  It is on a 2 year old 13.3 Macbook Pro. Had hopes of wiping the hard drive durring the install. Any ideas?

    Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

    Taher,
    Can you find any errors in the application.log file or in the database log file?
    Do you have any invalid objects?
    Try to regenerate the form via adadmin and see if this helps.
    Also, if you have any other identical instance, please see if you can reproduce the issue.
    If none of the above helps, obtain the FRD file as per (Note: 438652.1 - R12: Forms Runtime Diagnostics (FRD), Tracing And Logging For Forms In Oracle Applications) and see if more details will be collected in the logs.
    Regards,

    Did you reset your phone like this: Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    If that didn't help I suggest having a technician examine your phone. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    Where did you get the phone? If it was previously locked to a carrier and was hacked/jailbroken to use it on a different carrier, updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize and unlock.

  • After install Windows 10, the texts in Skype are not very neat, with low definition

    After  install Windows 10, the texts in Skype are not very neat, with low definition. This has happend just with Skype. Do you know how I can fix it?

    I HAVE FOUND A FIX! Searching through the support blogs paid off in a big way. A minor registry edit is all it took and my drive is working like new! Here's the fix. My system is Windows 10 64-bit.  Resolution 5: Create a registry subkey
    Note To use this method, you must be logged on to Windows as an administrator. If you need help verifying that you are an administrator, go tohttp://support.microsoft.com/gp/admin
    Important Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.
    To create the registry subkey, follow these steps:
        Press the Windows logo key + R to open the Run box. (or right-click on windows icon in lower left corner)
        Type regedit in the Run box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
        In the navigation pane, locate the following registry subkey:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi
        Right-click atapi, point to New, then click Key.
        Type Controller0, and then press Enter.
        Right-click Controller0, point to New, and then click DWORD(32-bit) Value .
        Type EnumDevice1, and then press Enter.
        Right-click EnumDevice1, click Modify....
        Type 1 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
        Exit Registry Editor.

  • TS3147 After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"

    After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"  This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

    Solved problem with original Canon software.  When I downloaded Canon software upgraded for OS X 10.8, I got all by Navigator Ex. Noticed that on Canon's site, the upgraded version is 3.1; my app was 2.1. Upgraded to 3.1 for Nav. Ex, and it works.
    You should still use Image Capture IMHO.  If it was my gear, that's what I would do.  No need to worry about software upgrades.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.
