Is finder in Mavericks still operating slowly for you?

I have several Mac computers, one a macbook pro (mid-2010) and another a 2013 iMac 27". Finder takes forever to load my files for viewing. It's obviously faster with my iMac but it is still slow overall. I just want to know if this is a problem for others after the most recent update. I couldn't find mention of it after Novemeber 2013.

Here's a test to try: turn off all networking, including WiFi and unplugging any ethernet cords to your computer. Now see if Finder doesn't dramatically speed up. If this helps, than you can make the following configuration change so that you can turn networking back on and still keep the speed.
Note: This will involve editing a configuration file in the Terminal using VI editor (or other programming editor; DO NOT USE TextEdit). If you aren't comfortable doing this, try finding a computer programming buddy to help you out.
1. Open a terminal window
2. Run command: sudo vi /etc/auto_master
3. Enter your password when prompted.
4. Find the line in the file:
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
5. Insert a '#' character at the start of the line to "comment out" the line.
6. Save the file and quit (e.g. 'ZZ').
Now, with networking turned back own on your computer, see if Finder does not respond quicker. If this has not effects, undo the edit and let me know. There are a few other things to try.
Good luck

Is 2.1 still dropping calls for you?

It is for me. No improvement at all. Steve Jobs says this is a small issue and only a few people are experiencing it. Are you one of the few?
I have four phone and all of them drop calls. This is not some remote area, this is in flat land around southern California (Newport Beach).
I also know 10+ other people I work with that have the same problem.

I am also experiencing dropped calls but mostly when using 3G. If I am using EDGE the problem is not as severe. I live in Baltimore MD. I had posted a question here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8093328 but will repost in this thread.
If you are on a call and moving and you move from a 3G into a non-3G area will the call always drop or will the phone attempt to pick it up on edge before losing it all together? Also, can the phone maintain a connection if you switch 3G cells? I suspect that one of the reasons we are having so many dropped call problems is that the AT&T 3G service is so spotty. If iPhone could somehow switch to edge as a last resort before dropping the call we might not loose as many calls.
Is the dropped call problem an issue that requires replacement of the phone? (i.e. have people replaced their phones and found it fixed the issue?)

Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details?

If you want to add a second partition to the internal drive (in Disk Utility, select the drive, then open the partition tab and just click the + button), you should first be sure that you will have enough room to accommodate whatever the second volume will be. I am currently doing this for Snow and Mountain Lion.
To get to whatever volume is not the startup disk, restart and hold down option/alt at the chime, which will bring up a selection of the two volumes. Use the left or right arrow keys to select it and then hit enter/return.

The cause is case mismatch.
     Your method signature : public int Add2Numbers(int x,int y) --- Upper Case
But the signature produced is
ouldn't find a matching Java operation for WSDD operation "add2Numbers" (2 args)
( from the error trace ) -- Lower case.
     Change the case of your method to add2number (lowercase ) as per conventions and you code will work.

My MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

Hello, my MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

First up, we don't know what kind of MacBook you have so we can't tell you what OS you can run. You can use this instruction to identify which MacBook model you have: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1635. Alternatively, from the Apple menu open "About this Mac". From the window that pops up, click "More Info". This will open the system profiler. Click "Hardware" and locate the model identifier, there.
Next, you need to determine if your system can even run Mavericks before you can go about installing it. These are the requirements:
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Lastly, as you'll note from the above, you can't update to Mavericks (or Mountain Lion or Lion) from 10.5.8. Mavericks is only available in the App Store. You need to be running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) in order to download and install any OS from Lion (10.7) and up. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

When trying to upload Version 5 update for IPad after the download is complete and the files are being processed I get an error message - 3259 which says the internet connection is timed out but in fact it is still operational. The download is unsuccessful. Why is this?

Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

10.0.8 is no longer available, except in the trial version. The current sale version is 10.0.9. Apple has never sold older versions of their software, only the current version. That's not going to change in the near future.

Any way to find out the backend still in Process for the record after saved

once after we create a record and save here we are using many procs and functions from backend, after the record saved is there any way we will know still the backend is still in process for that record to insert into concerned tables for that module?
we are getting an error after the first record is saved for some reason the form is not getting clearing after the record is saved there is clear_form code is also there in my save button.
this is my prod problem please do help me out..
thanks in advance..

The Commit will not return control to the form until it is finished. So unless you are starting asynchronous operations with things like DBMS_JOB it is not going to be a timing problem.

TABLE TO FIND OUT THE PERSONAL NUMBER DETAILS FOR MAINT ORDER OPERATION

Dear Friends,
While creating the maintenence order,i am assigning the operation,
Against the each operation ike to alllocate some people(personal number),through requirments assignment tab in the operation.
I want to know in which table and filed, this personal number information is stored since i need to develop a report based on this.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Dhanasekharan,
You can send the Order Number to AFKO table and get the AUFPL (Operation No) for that Order.
Then send this AUFPL to AFVC Table and get the personnel Number PERNR field.
This you can make use for reports.

Finder in Mavericks Bounces Back to Desktop 1

Whenever I do any operation in Mavericks Finder that involves an extraneous window like a progress bar, Mavericks always pulls me back to desktop one, whether I am in full screen mode or not. It didn't do this in 10.8, so I'm surprised no one else has written about it.
I fixed it; I think. It seems that the Finder is assigned to desktop one by default, though I can't say this for sure (it was in my computer). Anyway, you can make as many Finder windows as you like in other desktops (spaces), but whenever the system makes a new automated Finder window (like a progress bar for example), you'll be switched back to desktop one (but sans the progress bar or whatever it is, leaving you looking at an irrelevant screen). For me, this behavior is quite annoying.
But I believe I found the answer, and it's very simple. Click on the finder icon in the Dock and hold, and you'll see in the popup that it's assigned to desktop one. Assign it to none. That got rid of the problem for me, and now I can watch my progress monitors in full screen mode when I'm copying and such, tully tabbed and without a glitch.
Finally, I'm not running Google Drive at the moment so I think I can rule that one out.

See if the startup disk needs repairing. (not the same as permissions)
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the disk.

Hello Saethwyr99,
''Do I just do it by copying the places.sqlite file within that XP profile over into my USB flash drive, then replacing the places.sqlite in the Winodws 7 profile with the one from the other one?''
you are correct : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile#w_your-important-data-and-their-files Your important data and their files]

from Firefox 4 and above versions there is not a time limit for the history.
Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept '''without affecting the performance.'''
''as well as view all the old expired and/or manually deleted history on my Windows 7''

Slow loading Finder in Mavericks?

I bought the brand new Macbook Pro Retina that came with Mavericks plus I upgraded my old Macbook Pro Retina to Mavericks before my new one came. On both computers I am noticing a few different things that are rather annoying.
When attaching documents to emails, etc... it is taking my finder forever to load the contents of the directory I am trying to access. It is doing this on both computers, so I am assuming this is something to do with Mavericks and not the new computer. It is rather frustrating because for my job, I am contstantly attaching documents to emails every day, but having to wait a good minute or two for a directory to load to find what I am looking for to attach is getting rather annoying.
Even my stickie notes load slow now when opening them in Mavericks and it has never done that before. They kind of appear laggy when loading. Usually they just popped right up.
Is anybody else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions for a fix? I really enjoy Mavericks but it seems to be messing with the overall performance of some things.

This problem really negates any benefit that Mavericks may offer simply in the reduced productivity this slowness creates. I really struggled with it and was seriously contemplating reverting to the previous version of Mac OS X Mountain Lion. However, on reflection, I identified one of the features of Mavericks that could be responsible. App Nap. As I understand it, App Nap is designed to conserve energy and automatically slows down applications that are loaded but not currently active. If this is the case and it is applied to the Finder, then this could be the cause of our frustrations. On most Apps. in Maverick, using Get Info will present amongst other options, an opportunity to disable App Nap for the specific application. However, this option is not available for the Finder app. (/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder/Contents/MacOS/Finder).
I checked with Activity Monitor and discovered that the Finder process did get App Napped if unused so how to disable the App Napping? Happily, after some Googling, I came across these folks who had the answer:
http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/disable-app-nap-os-x-mavericks/
So I opened terminal and issued the following command:
sudo defaults write com.apple.Finder NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES
Hey Presto, finder appears to be restored to its normal operating speed.
I suspect that to reverse this step, the above command should be issued with the argument NO.
If you try this, you do so at your own risk but I wanted to share it because of the frustrating impact it is having to so many folks.
Good Luck and please let me know if it works for you.

Is finder in Mavericks still operating slowly for you?
