Problem with the finder

I have a problem since a month with my finder. It reload every 5 minutes or something like that and it brings the finder to front so in example when i type in a text box in safari, it stops taping and it bring safari to the back and the finder menu bar is replacing it. So everytime i'm transfering a document to my extern hd and the finder is reloaded, it stop transfering and close every finder windows. Do you know what i can do with that? or do i need to go to a applestore and pay a new mac :(?

  • Problem with the Finder window in Chrome

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my finder window in Chrome.
    Since the window isn't a separate window anymore, but stuck to the top of the webpage, my finder window is too big. I can't read the "Cancel" or "Send" (I have no idea what's supposed to be there in English but I assume it's something like "send" and "cancel") buttons. I have provided some images of the problem, even if I make the Chrome window as small as possible, the finder window still is too big for my screen. I can resize the finder window from lest to right, but not up or down, which is extremely irritating for me.
    If anyone can help me how I can solve this problem.
    Thanks!

    I found the solution on another thread...Here it is.
    "I was having the same problem.  I found a way to make it smaller.  First, I opened chrome and clicked the green button on the window to make chrome go into full screen.  Then I tried to save a file to make the finder window open in chrome. When it opened in full screen I could see the bottom of the window so I resized it to make it a little smaller.  Once I did this it remembered the size so now I can access the bottom buttons when I take it out of full screen mode. Hope this helps."
    Worked like a charm!

  • Problem with the Finder when copying stuff on a server

    Hi all !
    I have a NAS at home and since a few days, copying stuff on its hard drive has become a pain.
    The hard drives connected to the NAS mount well with no problem, and when I start copying a big file on them, The finder sort of freezes, becomes completely unresponsive.

    I have reformated the hard drive of the NAS, and its configuration is OK.
    On the mac, I have tried everything : Zapping the PRAM, repair authorisations, except reinstall the system. That i really dont want to have to do at the moment.
    So can anyone help with this ?
    Best regards,
    Phil.

    Exact same situation going on here. 
    Connecting to a NAS (DroboFS).  Started happening a few weeks ago.  I'm looking at a 1.19gb copy right now over a hardwired ethernet connection.  8.4 megs copied so far in 45 minutes. 
    os 10.8.4 Macbook Pro.
    Have tried SMB, AFP, using IP address, aliases, etc.  No noticiable difference.
    Used to be lighting fast, connection looks good, 1000T,... network speed tests look good, have looked at ip problems, everything looks good and nothing on my network changed.
    Only message in the system logs of relevance to the copy are:
    MacBook-Pro.local Locum[466]: Connection with distnoted server was invalidated
    MacBook-Pro.local WebProcess[467]: objc[467]: Object 0x7f9ebbc1c6c0 of class NSUserDefaults autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking - break on objc_autoreleaseNoPool() to debug

  • Problem with the Finder Window

    Ever since I updated to Mountain Lion, for some reason every time I open a Finder Window nothing shows up in the side pane such as the Applications, Documents, etc. It's just blank. But for some reason every now and then it actually does show up again. I have no idea what is causing this so if anyone has a solution it would be a great help.

    While in Finder, I suggest opening Preferences and choosing the Sidebar tab.  See what's there and change it to your liking.  Then report back if the results are inconsistent when you open Finder windows in the future.

  • Can't find some strings with the Find function in LV2012

    Hi
    I got a problem with the "Find function" in LV2012.
    The Find function can't find the text "IniFile: WriteKeys" in the string constant in the innercase.
    Why is that?
    I have tried to plase a copy of the constant(se next picture)  and then it can only find the one marked with yellow!
    regards Bjarne

    Hi Anders.
    Thank you
    I have tried the things you suggested and my strings are exactly the same and it didn't work to put the outside-string(that could be found) inside the case.
    Here is the VI but be aware the broken arrow, because the sub VIs is not incorporated
    By the way, my name is Bjarne, not Bjarke
    Regards Bjarne

    problem with updated find my iPhone (FMi) app: when I attempt to open the FMi app, it tells me that I need to be a registered developer and run iOS7 to do so; is anyone else having this problem?  I got the app as a regular update to my existing FMi app which worked great.

    The problem is being reported in the news media, yes. Apparently someone at Apple jumped the gun and uploaded the update before it was ready. They'll probably issue another update shortly, I would expect, but you can go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. If you have a backup copy of the older version of the app, remove the newer version, restore the old version to iTunes on your computer, and resync.
    Update: Well, that was certainly quick. As of a short time ago, various sites are reporting that the Find My iPhone app is no longer displaying the previous error message. If it still is for you, delete it from your iPhone and re-download from the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • A Problem with the Quick Find Bar

    Hi,
    I’ve added the following line to userChrome.css, and FF opens the Quick Find Bar with the ‘Find Next’ and ‘Find Previous’ buttons.
    .findbar-container > * { display:-moz-box !important; }
    With Those buttons, there isn’t enough space in the Quick Bar, and when the description ‘End of Page’ (etc) shows – it is only partially displayed.
    How do I change the label text from ‘Quick Search:’ to ‘Find:’?
    And apropos the Find Bar.
    I have a toolbar button which toggles the Find Bar on and off.
    I’d like that button to be checked when the Find Bar is visible, and unchecked when it is hidden.
    I’ve added the following line to an xul file, and it works perfectly.
    <command id="cmd_find" oncommand="gFindBar.onFindCommand();
    setFindCkeckState();"/>
    For some reason, FF ignores the "cmd_findClose" id.
    <command id="cmd_findClose" oncommand="gFindBar.close(); setFindCkeckState
    ();"/>
    Why? Is it possible to add an Event Listener for the Find bar being opened or closed?
    Can I check and uncheck that button in a css file? (That would be better).
    Thanks.

    I use this command in a PrefBar button to toggle the Find bar on/off
    <pre><nowiki>if (gFindBar.hidden) gFindBar.onFindCommand(); else gFindBar.close();</nowiki></pre>

  • TS4006 I have a problem, I locked my MacBook Pro "mountain lion" with the find my iPhone app. When I returned home to unlock my MacBook thats where the problem began. I was unable to unlock the MacBook with the code I then called apple they cou

    I've been locked out my MacBook Pro, I was able to lock the MacBook with the find my iPhone app but I'm unable to unlock it with the app or by punching in the code directly to the MacBook, so far the apple store or reps over the phone can not help. I've called a third party retail store for assistance and the tell me I have to pay, even if I get it to work or not... So far nothing these apple "genius" will do to help with this product solution.
    I know my passcode/password but I am not able to log in....
    Is there anyone that can help?

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
    This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have a problem with the website shortcuts I have on on desktop.

    Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have a problem with the website shortcuts I have on on desktop. I have a few of these shortcut to website I use a lot. When I click on the short I get the message "windows cannot find [then the web address] make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." I tried deleting the shortcut and setting it up again but still get the message.

    Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like IE the default browser and then let Firefox do it again.

  • Communication Problem with the second battery

    Hello,
    In Lenovo Solution Center it says that there is communiction problem with the second battery. I already had this problem some months ago, back then it didn't charge the second battery. I got a new one and it worked again. Now it says the same thing "communication problem", but i can charge the battery and I also can't find any other sign of something not working. But still- it seems weird that the program tells me something is wrong. Can somebody help me?
    Thanks Lina
