I have a problem with Finder it will not answer. I have tried to restart using alt com esc. It will not start again. What can I do?

the problem is that each time i turn on my computer finder is stuck, so my desktop will not load and whenever i move my cursor to my desktop i get the spinning beachball. i have tried to restart finder and i have tried to repair teh hardrive in disk management but that did nt work either. this means taht i can´t save any eord documents and i cant access finder in any way. i belive it started when i downladed i game, but since finder does not work now i cant delete it. if you could help it would be wonderful

I have installed OS Maverick 10.9 and now find titles are included for mac mail addressees. That is, I get Dr John Brown instead of John Brown. That did not happen before. How do I suppress the title?

I have installed OS Mavericks 10.9 and now find that Mac Mail includes titles for addressees. Thus, it shows 'Dr John Brown' instead of 'John Brown'. I have had the same problem with suffixes with earlier versions and solved that by deleting all suffixes from my address book. I don't want to have to do that for titles. How can I keep the titles in my address book but have them not show for Mac Mail addressess?

I have the opposite problem, Barry ... now only the eMail address shows ... no name at all, even though I type it in!

Greetings,
What you posted is rather vague. By doesn't work do you mean the applications don't open at all or are you getting a message stating that your product needs activation? If it's product activation then that is something that Microsoft will have to assist you with. If your problem is that the applications simply won't open you may have to uninstall and reinstall Office again. This is common on the Windows platform too. Rarely when you upgrade to a new OS Office sometimes has an issue with the upgrade and won't open correctly. I would suggest merely uninstalling and reinstalling. Nine times out of ten that helps.

I have been using pages for months and now I can not get it to open any templet or previous document to open?

I have been using pages for months and now I can not get it to open any templet or previous document to open?

A little more information would be helpful.
What version of Pages are you using? The latest is 4.1 with the update released on July 20. In Snow Leopard 10.6.8 you need at least Pages 4.0.5. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
If you are running at least Pages 4.0.5 & haven't made any other changes to your Mac since Pages was last working correctly, the likely culprit is corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plst & restart Pages.

Place your phone in recovery mode (search Google) and restore. If that doesn't work, place in DFU mode (again, search Google) and restore.

It sounds like you may need to check the startup disk.
Boot from your Mac install disc, run Disk Utility.

I have updated to IOS 8.2 and now I can not update my apps?

I can not update apps after having downloaded IOS 8.2. Need assistance to fix problem. Only way I have been able to work around is by updating by using itunes and connecting my phone to my MacBook Air.

So when you attempt to update, all you set is a spinning circle? What troubleshooting have you tried? User troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. I doubt you will have to go that far. But you can start with the restart, which is just powering the phone off/on. A reset is holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Test after that. Are you able to get into the App Store and search for apps or anything else?

Upgraded to leopard and now finder does not work

Hi there - I just completed a leopard upgrade. Strangely enough, after installation and the subsequent reboot, i cannot get the finder to work. Upon clicking on the finder it just sits there and gives the 'waiting' signal (rotating multicolor circle). I opened the activity monitor and killed it, clicked again. nothing. Rebooted numerous times.. nothing. I also tried to install the leopard software update. The files download fine but will not install. I assume this has to do with the finder problem. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks!!

There are really two "Finders," the one in the dock and the one that actually runs the GUI.
When you click on your desktop, you see the Finder menu on the top right. Do any of those functions work?
For example, if you click Go->Home, does the Finder window open as normal?
If so, you may simply have a corrupted Finder alias in your dock.
I would first run DU and perform a disk check and repair permissions.
How to get to DU? Again, if the top right Finder menu works, select Go->Utilities and run DU from there.
