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. -
Application "FINDER"not responding,Desktop files disappeared & " also "Trash" not working svn after relaunching several times.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process (Finder) in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -

If you haven't already done so, reboot and try again.

Computer Freezes - Finder (not responding)
So I've tried as many fixes and solutions that I could find and nothing is correcting what's happening. Even after deleting my hard drive and doing a clean install of Mavericks from a usb drive. I can use the computer for maybe a 1/2 hour and then it completely freezes up and in Task Manager it says the Finder is not responding. I can work in Safe boot mode fine, which makes me thing its a hardware issue. But I've done a hardware test (restart, hold "D", do test) and it says there is no problems.
I heavily depend on my computer for work so this very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my latest Etrecheck file:

Finder Not Responding OS 10.4
HELP! While dragging a bunch of photos from a file to the Trash, I accidently dropped them on the desktop. I now have over 4,000 photos copying to my iMac desktop--or trying to. Finder is not responding. I have relaunched and forced a restart. It has been more than an hour and my desktop appears to be frozen--or, at best, still "working".
Is there anything I can do to stop the copy process? Do you think it will eventually finish copying?Keep an eye on disk space. If it ever flows over 85% full, most have found that to be the point of diminishing returns when it comes to filling up the hard drive. Burn to CD and DVD what you can beyond that until you can get another drive. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
and my disk full FAQ
http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
Hopefully that will help you in the future.

I have had an interesting week. Beginning on Tuesday, my computer began acting unstable. Tried to reinstall the operating system - caused me to replace the current disk with my weekly backup disk. Yet, when I operate the current system, I find that programs (except those requiring video such as DVD player or Quicktime) work well but the finder is not responding. Was able to run EtreCheck. According to the report, the only process was that highlighted in red was com.apple.iconServices Agent.
I have repaired permissions and cleaned the cache. Attached is the report from EtreCheck. Any ideas what is going wrong and how to correct it? TIA.

Finder Not Responding After PB Wakens
I have a brand new (day old) Aluminum PB with the following configuration:
1. 1.67Ghz G4
2. 1.5G RAM (DDR2 SDRAM)
3. Mac OSX 10.4.3
It replaces a 3 year old Titanium running 10.4.3 which has never exhibited the problems below.
-- THE PROBLEM --
When I am able to wake my new PB up (See my other posting "PB won't wake up when connected to ACD"), after about 1 to 2 minutes, the finder stops responding, for all intents and purposes. For brief periods, processes will work but for the most part, I am stuck with the spinning wheel of death.
I troubleshooted this problem with Apple Tech Support tonight. We removed all the startup files from my Login which "seemed" to do the trick. But, it's still failing. In addition to this I've also done the following:
1. Repaired Disk Permissions
2. Reset the PRAM
3. Performed a control-option Restart (recommended before doing a PMU reset)
4. Performed a PMU reset
I am at a complete loss. Please help!!! I am really starting to wonder if replacing my 3 year old Titanium was such a good idea. It's still working (evidenced that I am using it right now).
David
Powerbook G4 Aluminum Mac OS X (10.4.3)Sig - Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, what was making the finder fail were login items at startup. I deleted all of them and now it works fine.
Now, I have to trouble shoot the wake-from-screensaver, wake-from-sleep issue that occurs when USB peripherals are connected. I can finally get the powerbook to wake (by unplugging the USB connection) but then I cannot get the powerbook to see the peripherals again (when I plug the USB connector in). I need to reboot.
I NEVER had these problems with my Titanium. And, even though it is slower under 10.4.3, it works without these issues. I am contemplating returning my new Alum Powerbook for a refund. These issues are critical enough for me to return to my Titanium. In 15 years of having Apples, this is the first time I wish I hadn't purchased one.

Finder not responding, after upgrade to 10.6.4
Ever since i upgraded os x to 10.6.4, the finder has been not responding whatsoever.
My hard drive still has more than 100GB (out of total 250GB). and i have used Terminal to delete files in trash and nothing left in my desktop.
When i connect my Time Machine external backup drive, i cannot open Time Machine neither.
The even more serious problem is that I couldn't even save my files to another location or open files (e.g. using Pages - Files - Open...) from other locations.
I tried to verify and repair the disk using Disk Utility; it doesn't work neither. it says it cannot repair the disk.
I also tried to boot by Mac OS Installation Disk and then use the Disk Utility; nothing helps.
I hope my description has been enough for you to analyse what could have happened and give possible solutions.
Many thanks!I tried to verify and repair the disk using Disk Utility; it doesn't work neither. it says it cannot repair the disk.
Well there's your problem! If you have unfixable disk damage on your boot drive, it's going to cause file corruption which can in turn cause many widely varying problems.
First thing you need to do is make sure you've got a good backup. If you don't have any backups, it could be too late... with disk damage, any of your files could be corrupt at this point. But do what you can. See my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> for help with that.
Second, you can try to repair the drive using a different tool, such as [DiskWarrior|http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html] or [TechTool Pro|http://www.micromat.com>. However, IMHO this is unlikely to help if you're already experiencing symptoms of file corruption, which you are. But it's something to try. (I don't actually own either of those utilities, because I always make the assumption that if my hard drive is badly damaged, so might my system files be, so on the rare occasion this happens I just go straight to the step below.)
If nothing else works, you'll need to erase your hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch, then restore your data from backups. You'll want to restore as little as possible from the backup when it comes to settings files, as those could be damaged and could bring instability back into your squeaky clean new system. -
Finder Not responding after result of moving all my music HELP
I am really panicing here and you probibly get this allot but....
i was moving some duplicate songs into the trash and selected the wrong files to delete and moved all my music to the trash so i thought no problem i will get it out of the trash and put it into a temporary file so that it does not clutter my desktop so i did that. then i moved all my files by accident and now they sit on my dekstop, the problem now is that my music is on my desktop but i cannot acess my finder as it is not responding and taking up all my cpu. i don't want to be drastic and replace my os to solve the problem becuase i really need my music back. and i don't want to lose any of my music as me being like everyone else have not backed it up.
is there a solution to this where i don't have to replace my os or lose any of my music. because my finder is not responding i cannot acess spotlight properly and get all my music back help please anyone i am realy panicing here :>The exact string given will move the current desktop folder to a folder named OldDesktop which is located directly inside your home folder; this is the folder in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon. Once done, the Finder should become more responsive, and you can retrieve the items you want on your desktop from the OldDesktop folder. Nothing will be deleted from the computer.

Finder "Not Responding" after start-up
I'm trying to help my family member solve a long-distance mac problem, so I'll share as much detail as I've been able to gather through screen sharing. For about 3 weeks his iMac has been running slow, to the point of almost being un-usable, so I set up a guest account for him and it runs fine. After checking out activity monitor with nothing running, it appears finder is the problem, using about 40-70% of the CPU and also marked in red as 'Not Responding'. Force quitting and relaunching finder only results in it immediately returning to "not responding" once its finished re-launching.
I've tried to research solutions, but everything I have found give suggestions like deleting .plist files and re-copying image files, all of which requires using the Finder, which as I said, is not responding. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance!That sounds pretty bad. You can modify PLIST files without Finder, though, using Textedit. You'd have to start it in sudo mode though, if you are modifying system files, which you do in Terminal using the command
"sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit". TextEdit will open, and you can choose a file (file>open) then modify and save it without permission troubles.
You will need an admin password. And of course, with some difficulty, Terminal can do ANYTHING that Finder can do as long as you know how (you can just Google stuff). I don't know what other people told you to do, but you can do it without Finder given the proper research.
You might also want to do a permissions check in Disk Utility. That sometimes fixes the problem or helps you locate it.
If all fails, you can reinstall the OS, of course.

hi! new to imac, just updated to mac os x 10.7.3 and it changed my language to greek (same as my location). original set up was in English. Finder is not responding - i have tried to change it from system preferences but to no avail. I really want to change it back to en. please help!!! Thanks
It sounds like you might need to reinstall.
If you can open Terminal, this note might be worth a try:

Finder not responding and missing desktop
When shutting down this computer all of the icons on the desk top
started flashing and a window opened for a few seconds then closed on
it's own. This happened for several minutes. I pushed the reset button
to restart and when it came back up all of the desk top icons were gone
and the "finder" icon on the toolbar would not respond....holding the
cursor over the icon and right clicking will bring up the "open" command
but clicking on it does nothing.
The other applications on the toolbar seem to work fine but it seems
like the hard drive (and the external drive) have been shut down or
maybe erased. Have you any idea where to start looking to fix this?
After poking around last night, I came across the logs in "about this computer". I don't understand all of the lists, but one at the end shows
Computer npcdaemon[109]: Can't Launch Kernel Extension (-2).\n
This particular entry is from this morning when I started up the system.
I will take your advice and go to the apple store. We have the disks for a re-install and for "restore" but I don't want to run those until we can back up some of the stuff from various applications.Might try this, Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

Finder not responding - solved
I had an issue with Finder not responsing after 10.8.1 upgrade. Rigth clikcing finder in dock would show it as "application not responding", with "relaunch" as the only option. Relaunch did not relaunch, and did not correct the issue. If the finder menu was up, cursor would spin with color wheel, and no response. Retsart did not solve the issue.
I tracked the issue to permissions. Rather than edit the plist, I used the Permissions Repair utility, which may be accessed via launch control, given that finder is not working.
Ran the "repair permissions" option and restarted. All now working fine.Hi, see if you can do this..
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
