My Finder is no longer working after my last restart

my problem is that i tryed to restart my computer after noticing that files whernt showing up in folders so i restarted. After my computer started up my finder had poped up a window asking 2 questions that i cant remember, but as i attempted to click 1 of the 2 options finder attempted to restart its self but it didnt just stop. So finder is still restarting its self over and over again, so if anyone els is having this same problem on OX Lion please let me know and if you know how to fix it also let me know.

I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening. Instead the site tried to install a new audio player.
Ackk ... that behavior is consistent with the play_mp3.exe trojan:

Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

Script no longer works after Upgrade to 10.4.6

The following script worked fine using 10.4 thru 10.4.5 but no longer works after upgrading to 10.4.6.
When I highlight a folder and then run the script the highlighted folder is moved to a specific "Achive" folder, depending on whether the highlighted folder has a ".0" or ".1" or etc in its name.
When I run the script using 10.4.6 I get an error indicating that the highlighted folder already exists in the destination.
Anyone else having Applescript problems with 10.4.6?

I, too, immediately started having problems with my scripts immediately after updating to OS 10.4.6. I put my scripts in "Library/Applications/..." so that the scripts associated with particular applications are available in the menu bar. I don't know if that has any bearing on the problem, but for me, it was not any particular script, but just about every one that started going funny.
First, I noticed that my scripts would typically work right once, but fail in some odd manner the second time I tried to use one. The second thing I noticed was that the modification dates of my scripts were changing to the time that I last executed the scripts, even though I had not altered and recompiled any of them in weeks. Finally, I noticed that the scripts that were failing were ones in which I had used property statements to initialize some of my variables.
What I think is happening is this: for some strange reason 10.4.6 is recompiling scripts every time they are run, and variables are being initialized, not to the values specified in property statements, but to whatever the variable was the last time the script ended.
I discovered that I could prevent this from happening by (1) recompiling all my scripts to make sure all the property statements were back in effect, and then (2) setting the permissions of all my scripts to read only. This seems to prevent whatever in 10.4.6 is recompiling the scripts from doing this each time the script is run. At least, the modification dates are no longer changing inexplicably, and all my scripts are running reliably again.
It's a bit of a pain to have to remember to reset script permissions to read/write whenever I want to make a change, and then change them back to read only before executing, but it seems to be a reliable workaround. I'd appreciate hearing if anyone else can replicate this phenomenon, or tell me if I'm on the right track.

Epson printer driver no longer working after 10.4.11 update

It seems that my original Epson driver for my Stylus Photo 750 is no longer working after my latest Tiger update. The system does recognise it but shows an exclamation mark behind it and refuses to print with it (the document stays in the waiting line forever). Reinstalling as well as repairing permissions didn´t help. Fortunately the Gimp Epson driver is still working but I have no access to my coloursync profiles with this driver.
I know that many printer drivers need to be rewritten for Leopard (one of the reasons I didn´t update yet) but it is not understandable why problems happen with a Tiger update.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks very much
Wolfgang

I just discovered a similar problem. I have an old Epson SC3000 and under 10.4.11 my computer doesn't communicate with the printer. It's an AppleTalk printer, connected via Ethernet. I tried bypassing my network switch and connected it directly to the Mac-- no go. I then rebooted into 10.3.9 and printing works fine.
I downloaded the driver from Epson and installed it in 10.4.11. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, the machine just hangs-- can't force quit the utility and eventually the Finder even stops responding. It takes a hard reboot to clear up.
I can't say whether or not printing worked in earlier versions of 10.4. I haven't been using 10.4 for very long, and I rarely use the SC3000.

IPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app? Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility. If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

Many Apps are no longer working after webOS 1.4 update! - please help!

Hi,
Many of my previously working Palm Pre Apps are no longer working after the webOS 1.4 update.
Here are the ones that just return a blank/white screen after launching so far:
SplashID
Daily Devo
Daily Light (Love)
Absolute Fitness (some options no longer work correctly & are returning a white screen and some options are working)
These are just a few of the Apps that I am having problems with and there are probably many others. I have also sent emails/posted to forums on the developer sites to advise. Hopefully I will hear something back soon.
Anyone else experiencing this issue as well with any Apps?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

SplashID on my Sprint Pre is showing just a blank screen after starting it and entering my password. I see no update for it in the App Catalog.
EDIT: Never mind. It appears that it only did that on the first launch. I closed it and restarted it, and now the screen in SplashID is correct.

HT2188 home button no longer working after upgrade to io6 on my iphone4...any ideas to fix this problem

home button no longer working after upgrade to ios6 software on my iphone4..anything i can do to frix this or apple send me a new device. phone no good without a home button

The button's broken. S**t happens. Apple will replace your phone. If in waranty it will be free of charge. If not, you will pay $149.
You can elect to have it repaired at a 3rd party shop near you if you choose, but this will void all warranty if there's any left.

I've been working on this problem since yesterday and now i'm stuck. Can someone please help?
EDIT
I think it's something related to the driver. If i change the driver to another printer model from CUPS the printer works. Prints garbage, but at least works. So this means that we have to wait for a new driver or what?

Internet Explorer 9 no longer works after an uninstall of HP Support Centre

Internet Explorer 9 no longer works after an uninstall of HP Support Centre and drivers for 3 HP All-in-One printers (psc1310, C4180, F4200). Intend to re-install for just C4180. I selected option to remove for all related software, though the HP Update and Photosmart Essentials have been left. IE9 stops working when launched (even when launched with no add-ons and with Protected Mode disabled and Advanced Settings restored) and regardless of initial URL. If I remove the IE9 update then IE8 works fine. I tried re-installing IE9 update, twice, and it continues to fail.
I’m running Vista 32 Home Premium SP2 on Samsung Q210 with Norton 360 v5, SpywareBlaster and Spybot - Search & Destroy.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I now believe the problem with IE9 was not related to HP, but to a Windows Update replacement to the “Intel Corporation - Display - Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family” drivers: Intel Corporation Display software update released in February, 2011 (useless link http://winqual.microsoft.com/support/?driverid=20411791). IE9 started working OK when I set “Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering*” (see http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1678709 with reference to “faulting module igdumdx32.dll”), so will now investigate removing that update.
Sorry to have cast aspersions on HP. MS did this to themselves, as usual.

Camera no longer works after 6.0.1

My camera no longer works after an update to 6.0.1 on iPhone 5. It now will make the noise and animation, but the camera app freezes and won't take the picture. Any luck for anyone else?
EDIT: Scratch that, turning my phone off and then back on seems to have fixed the issue.
Message was edited by: Pichu0102DM

The same powers-that-be fixed the problem for me. It's even more mysterious, since I know I did not restart the computer. I was just surfing along, laboriously using the browser's navigation buttons, when out of habit I pressed the button on the mouse and it worked. It's been working ever since.
Since I notice that 23 other people have this problem (so far), there's clearly something that needs looking at even if the problem somehow corrects itself.
