My finder stopped working and can't open windows or folders

Help!  I believe it might have been because I have attempted to upgrade my OS and failed. After the reboot, all the icons of folders on the desktop did not get displayed (but the names can be seen) and no operation relating to opening a Window or folder works.  So I can't get to any files, except those that are already on the desktop.  Any suggestions on how to fix the problem or who to turn to?  Oh yes, the OS is slow also, the wheel of death comes out very often now. Other then these two issues, applications (which I can access through the Dock or Spot Light) seem to work fine.  I am in Shanghai, China.  Thanks in advance.

It sounds like the issue is not with the email, but with the iOS software and more specifically the firmware.  Try to save whatever files and documents you can.  Sync the files with iTunes or make certain they are copied to iCloud.  Then perform a DFU and restore the iPhone as new.
Read each of the steps before initiating the DFU.
!.  Connect the iPhone to any computer running a fully updated version of iTunes.
2. Press and hold both "home" and "sleep/wake" buttons
3. After eight seconds let go of only the sleep/wake button.
4. Keep holding the home button until you see a popup mesage in iTunes.
5. Read all all the popups, then use iTunes to update the iPhone's software.
If the popup fails to show, repeat steps 2 through 4

    Operating system? and how are you opening it? From a shortcut, from the welcome screen, from the organizer, from the program/application file itself?

    iTunes stops working and closes upon opening with Match on, works fine with match off

    I am having the very same problem with iTunes, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and started having the problem after the latest update. I just upgraded to the new 5s and was syncing everything to it, so I figured that I would update my itunes software as well. Which I never do after updating one time and had trouble with it on my old laptop and had to rollback to a older version of itunes. I have tried every suggestion that has been posted in the Apple Discussion area and on other websites no luck what so ever. I figured I will wait till Apple comes out with another update and try again. In the post above I am having the exact problem with iTunes.  I'd love to know what thef-ing problem is because this is extremely annoying!

  • Please Help, My Finder not Responding and can not open after upgrade OS X Maverick!!!

    Hello guy,
    I ask this for help, yesterday i upgrade the OS X Maverick, after finish all the the installation,
    now my finder not responding even i try to relaunch many times, or can say that can't open Finder right now.
    So what can i do? can anyone tell me here?

    If that doesn't fix it try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
    Restart holding the "shift" key.
    (Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
    If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Don’t just “hide” them by checkmark.

    A colleague of mine has a Mac G5 with OS 10.5.8 and Adobe InDesign CS5 installed which has suddenly stopped working. On top of that she can't drag or drop items either.  She didn't have this issue yesterday. She didn't install anything new or added any new hardware.
    Does anyone have a solution?

  • Itunes has stopped working and will not open

    itunes stopped working for unknown reason and would not open. after several tries I used system restore taking it back to an earlier date.  when that failed to work, I uninstalled and downloaded new version, several times. still would not open and I am pretty sure I lost my library which is frustrating because I use it for work. completely confused about what to do next. I am running windows 7.

    Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
    > Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    > How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

  • After system restore CS3 stopped working and can not be uninstalled

    I did a system restore (W7) and my CS3 apps stopped working with the message "Licensing for this product stopped functioning. Currently you cannot use this product. Solve this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling or contact support." I tried to uninstall but the installation manager returns a list of applications with red X and "unsuccessful" next to it. Reinstalling it from the dvd  returns: "Installation error, can not continue. Contact support. Internal error 2739". I do not really want to reinstall the whole system since other Adobe applications (PS CS6) work just fine.

    Try using the Cleaner Tool

  • Photoshop Elements 5 just stopped working and will not open my catalogue.

    I have Photoshop Elements 5 running on Vista 64 bit.  It was working fine, but just stopped working out of the clear blue outside of regular Microsoft patches.
    The intro screen opens but when I click on Organize my photos it starts to open the next window but just sits there trying to open my catalogue file of pictures.  I've left it there trying to fully open for hours and nothing progresses beyond that point.  Any suggestions?

    Please re-post your question in the correct forum.

  • PSE 12 has stopped working and will not open.

    PSE 12 suddenly stopped working while editing.  I tried restarting the Organizer which opens but does not finish loading after a few seconds, and gives an error message ... "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  I've received no notifications.  Any suggestions?  Do I download another copy?  How do I locate and retain my Catalog which is really important?  Thanks in advance.

    Operating system? and how are you opening it? From a shortcut, from the welcome screen, from the organizer, from the program/application file itself?

  • HP 1536dnf Scanner stopped working and can't download driver

    Hello, The scanner application for my printer stopped working about 4 mo ago. I was using Windows 7 and had since then uninstalled the whole printer driver and removed the printer and re-downloaded the full feature driver. I tried to install the driver mulitple times but failed each time. I was able to reconnect the printer, but was never able to download a scanner driver and application successfully. I dug through multiple answers on the forum in hopes of a solution. I have already tried seeing if it had to do with my firewall or anti-virus. I have Norton 360 Premier. I even dug so far as to see if my installation of Windows 7 was corrupt and have had no luck in a solution. I have since upgraded to Windows 10 and received the an error again. Below is the error I recieved (which is ther first time it stated this particular error.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • MTS files in CS6 Ppro project stopped working and can't be imported anymore

    In a project from 2013 (PPro CS6) some of the MTS files stopped working. When I try to relink or replace the footage, I get the message that the file has a unsupported compression type. I never got this message before. About 70% of the MTS files in my project have this, the remaining clips work fine.
    Did anyone have this too, or does anyone know a solution?
    Thank you in advance for the replies.

  • Finder stops responding. Can't close window or click icons in window bar without moving window.

    When moving files between disks, the Finder stops responding to the close, minimize and expand window (red, yellow, green buttons). If I grab the title bar and move the window, even one pixel, I can click on the boxes. The same is true of the trash button in the window icons.
    It's just annoying.

    I have been plagued by the same problem ever since upgrading to Mavericks.
    I click the red button on windows (various apps), it goes dark but window won't close until I actually make that window active or move it around somewhere.
