Smb v2 Finder bug / Mavericks

On all Mac running Mavericks 10.9 & 10.9.1 we have identified and reported a major bug when using SMB v2 file servers.
Sumary
The Finder can't rename a remote folder on an SMB v2 file server.
Meanwhile, with the same file server mounted from the same version of Mavericks,
accessing the mounted filesystem through the command line interface (i.e. with Terminal, xterm or ssh).
it is possible to rename a folder.
It is also possible to rename any plain file i.e. the bug is limited to the Finder
and to directories.
If switched to smbv1, then this Finder bug isn't happening.
Debugging
I'm investing this bug and discovered that on MacOS X there exists
a kernel extension debugging flag that I can turn on.
This flag is kloglevel and used within /etc/nsmb.conf .
I haven't been able to find a documentation about the use of this kernel
extension debugging flag (is this a bitmask or a boolean or a level).
Where is this information? Is there any documentation to make any other
debugging at the Finder level?

I'm having similar issues connecting from 10.7.3 to Win Server 2003. I am getting messages that I don't have access to copy and rename things even though I am connected as the system administrator. At one point, I got two similar share points showing up even though I had only one connection.
Disconnecting and reconnecting seems to help for a while.

Problem with my Macbook Finder Bug/ Problème avec mon MacBook Finder Bug

Hi, two days ago I took my Macbook Pro with me for my holidays, since then, the finder can't stop glitching (I'm on Mavericks) : every time I try to open a file, a document, even my preferences the finder bug and show me the colorful circle. Even when I'm on safari it continues to freeze during 20-30 seconds. Yesterday I did the new adobe flash player update and miracle, it worked for the evening. But when I started it this morning the glitches were back, I tried to do the update again but this time it didn't work. I don't know what to do, 3 days ago it was perfect and now it is full of glitches. I'm currently writing since 10 minutes because it freezes every 10 seconds. PS: I didn't download anything so it's not due to a bad download or a full memory.
Thanks for your answers if you saw this kind of case before.
Bonjour à tous, alors il y 2 jours j'ai pris mon Macbook Pro avec moi pour mes vacances et depuis le finder n'arrête pas de bugguer (Je suis sous Mavericks) et c'est la première fois qu'un problème de la sorte m'arrive. A chaque fois que j'essaie d'ouvrir un fichier, une fenetre ou meme les préférences le finder m'affiche le cercle multicolore et bug pendant 20-30 secondes. Même sur Safari l'ordi bug toutes les 20 secondes, en ce moment meme le message que je vous envoie bug et je prend actuellement 15 minutes à l'écrire. J'ai fais hier la MAJ d'adobe flash player et ça marchait par miracle pendant la soirée. Mais en le rallumant ce matin, le bug avait réapparu. J'ai réessayé de faire cette MAJ mais aucun résultat, je ne sais plus quoi faire. Il y a 3 jours mon ordi marchait nickel et là plus rien. PS: Ce n'est pas du à un mauvais téléchargement ni à un disque trop plein.
Merci de vos réponse si vous avez une idée ou déjà vu ce genre de cas.

☞ 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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with.

BIG n EVIL Finder Bug!

After "converting" our last co-worker to Mac, she found (in astounding 45 Minutes OSX) an extremely evil Finder bug.
Don't try it, it's no fun to correct if afterwards:
In a normal OSX Finder Window, you can change the name of the home folder link in the left part of the window with a right-click-order "change name of usershortname" (or something like that, I use a german system).
IF you do this, your home folder will NOT be renamed but a new pseudo-user folder will be made. Your files remain in the old folder, but your system thinks the new is the right one, which will produce some nice errors. All new files (prefs etc.) will be put in the new folder.
It just took me an hour to restore her personal files (freshly imported from her old pc - in the middle of which she changed the name of the link because OSX changed her Umlaut-Name falsely to a Non-umlaut-Name ...) (another bug, by the way, but a small one)
- by the way: Any idea how to change the user - shortname?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
This bug is well known, and a nuisance!
I can't change the short name of a user account
Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 or later: Return to Default Desktop, Apparent "Loss" of Home Directory
To change the short name:

There is also a ChangeShortName application which is available via MacUpdate or VersionTracker.

Finder bug in icon view. can anyone help me?

So, I'm experiencing a weird bug since I've installed OS X Mountain Lion.
When I set 'show items as icons' in Finder, the font used to label the files and folders are most of the time kinda messed up.
(they're not the normal black clean fonts, but they are like a really pale ugly and hard to read gray color)
And it's not like I'm using different fonts of whatever, it's a font smoothing/rendering issue.
If I turn off the 'Use LCD font smoothing when available', fonts are OK again.
The problem is that when I enter another folder, they are messed up again. Then I enable again the font smoothing option and they are ok (for that folder).
When I go back to the parent folder, they are gray again.
Also, when I make them "OK" with the LCD font option switch, they also become "NOT OK" as soon as I select them. (not individually, but making a box...yeah, weird uh?)
Really weird. I've tried to restart/ force quit the finder (which again, fix the issue just within the home folder) / adjust permission (maybe I've messed up something, I dunno).
Btw, it is not a clean install and I remember experiencing the same problem with Lion, one of the first days I've installed it, but then it went away (forever) after a day, so I didn't bother too much to find the cause.
Again, it seems like some sort of finder bug, the million question is: Why am I (apparently) the only one experiencing it? Thx for help

Hi Giorgiovdb!
Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
Goodluck!
Gaytan

I can't open Finder in Mavericks

I can't open my Finder in Mavericks, and when I try to, my account is logging out, what can I do?
when I try the force quit, it logs out too.
I think I can't do a clean install, because the time machine doesn't work, and I don't have a recent backup.
Help me please!
Thanks

The first thing I'd recommend you do is open Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions on your internal HD and also the EHD you intend to use a the TM backup. Report back with the results, however before running please carefully look over:

Lion finder bugs

hi - just wanted to report some finder bugs that I hope mac developers are already addressing.
1) apple-tab to the finder does not automatically switch to the correct desktop space where finder windows automatically open or are already open... when I apple-tab to the finder then create a new window it works, but there shouldn't be an extra step. I'm also curious why my previous preferences for which space applications open in has been preserved with the lion upgrade but the way to edit those preferences has been taken away... troblesom since I'd previously arranged all applications to work based on a 3x3 grid with the finder opperating center at space 5... now that a grid is no longer an option I might want to re-organize and not rely on automatic re-ordering.
2) when I choose to view folders by the various options sometimes the categories (yesterday - previous 7 days - etc) will appear as folders in a list rather than dividers. Doesn't happen often but bugs the heck out of me when it does. Closing and reopening the window fixes it, as well as changing to do a different organization mode and back again... a little detail - but thats what makes mac great after all.
thanks guys - overall I'm enjoying lion very much.
a

also...
3) when I 4-finger shift between spaces some finder windows which are apparently stuck in limbo appear during the transition then are gone again.

OS X Mavericks Finder Bugs?

Upon updating my iMac to OS X Mavericks I noticed that Cover Flow contained a few annoyances and I have yet to find any discussions about this particular one. I've always used Cover Flow since I migrated to Mac but this seems specific to Mavericks. Everytime I open my Home folder the icons in the actual black scrollable area of Cover Flow would always resize to 180px x 140px.
I can resize them after I open the folder and that would make them the specified size until I close the window, but it would revert back upon opening it again. I even set my preferred sizea as the default in the Show View Options dialog box but that amounts to nothing.
I was wondering if anyone else has this issue, and if so, have you found a fix? I've sent a bug report to Apple already so I'm eager to see what they include in the next software update as well as your personal reports on this too.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
From memory, it went like this:
In Finder, I have an icon in the toolbar marked 'Arrange'. If you don't have it, go to Finder and under the View menu select 'Customise Toolbar'.The customise panel appears and you can drag and drop the Arrange icon onto your toolbar.
Click on the down arrow on the Arrange icon and you will see a drop down menu. Click on an option e.g. name (i.e. arrange folder contents by name). This should make your invisible files appear. I had to do this for most of the folders in Favorites on the Finder toolbar. One or two were ok anyway for some reason.
i hope this makes sense and answers your question. Sorry if I have used incorrect technical terms!

Why no Update yet even though Mavericks full of Finder bugs

In the Finder We have problems with Windows, folders(they stubborn and don't want to move where you move them), and regarding web related operations TEXT operations and Text Edit, you can no longer Copy text and images from a webpage and Pasting them to a Text Edit document. The text is really small and the images are not transferred. Especially if you do it with Firefox.. The only way you can highlight text and images from a webpage and copy them into a text file is to use SAFARI.. and then highlight the text and images in the webpage and press... COMMAND + C+ CTRL and it has to be in that order... one after the other..and hold each key..
Printing is weird too. The Text Edit Text looks good in your monitor but when you preview it for Print Preview it's super huge..So then you have to go back to your document and make the text tiny.
That and other problems including files and folders becoming invisible when you drop them accidentally into other files or something.
Why are we still on 10.9.5 with no update??? Isn't it time for an update to fix things?

oh Great Does it fix many of the things from Mavericks? And what if you have installed things in Mavericks like a thing that adds folder functions and stuf like that. And i have a Mac Pro 2.66 Gzh Quad Core IntelXeon. from 2009. 10GB
I heard that yosemete is not good for the older macs. I wonder if mine is considered old

Maverick's Finder bug when downloading or copying ?

Since the Maverick update I have 2 bugs : one major and one less important but still wanted to see if I am the only one with this happening...
The major bug is about the scrolling and I won't go into into details because their are already lots and lots of posting regarding that major major bug.
The second bug happens when either telecharging any kind of file or when compying any kind of file on the desktop ....the thumbnail which sort of tells us it's done never shows up even though the file has downloaded or been copied.
I get something like this .....and it stays like that even after being installed or moved elsewhere...weird huh !?
Am I the only one ?

Finder bugging

Hi,
Since a couple of weeks Finder has been bugging pretty nasty and I can't seem to figure out why.
What happens is that when I'm in Finder browsing files, after a couple of seconds usually, it just stops working.
It's not freezing in a normal way.. It seems like the interface is freezing. The windows look buggy, file names or icons are missing and I can't click on anything or navigate anywhere.
This is an example of what the crashed window might look like:
Note how this is my home directory. Pretty empty right?
When I force quit/relaunch the thing (it doesn't state not responding, my MBP seems to think it's running without problems), it goes back to normal, only to go back to the drunk state I just described within a minute.
What is the cause of this problem? How can I solve this? I have verified and repaired both my partitions. Has my memory died? Other apps run fine.
I'm on a mid-2010 MBP, Mavericks 10.9.2.

Two things to try and rule out possibilities.
1) Use another account. Do you see the problem there?
2) Boot into Safe Mode and use your Account. Do you see the problem then?

Finder bug : presentation mode lost ...

With the global Finder, navigate in new window (same thing with the other setting, and navigate with command/pomme open), the parent
window can lost his presentation setting.
To reproduce the bug :
- Make a new folder.
- Apply a icon view, with "always" option, always navigate in icon view deselected.
- Make a new sub-folder in it.
- Open it (in a new window), apply the column view.
- Close the two windows (parent and sub-folder).
- Reopen the parent window, and boom, it's in column view, bye bye always open in icon view ...
My configuration comes from a clean install (in fact a brand new machine, no migration applied).
This bug also appeared in Lion ...
I've tried other view modes, and it seams the bug appears with two distand modes (icon / column or column / icon),
not with two consecutive ones (icon / list or list/column) !
Strange, have you said strange ?

I have come up with a workaround, although not really a fix. But at least it allows you to not have to use Chrome, which is a battery hog for me so far in Mavericks.
The Barbarian Group has a freeware app called "Plainview", which seems to be just a wrapper around Webkit. It works as a "Fullscreen kiosk-style presentation content viewer", similar to what Chrome presentation mode does.
Anyways, it's a free download, so no risk in trying. Scroll almost to the bottom of this page:

Can't find osx mavericks in app store

i don;t want to get the new one beacuse of bugs so i want to use osx mver

Sorry, but Mavericks is not currently available for download now that Yosemite has been released.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
             Identifier 5,1 or later.
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?

File copy over AFP / SMB very slow on Mavericks

Hi guys.
I have a retina macbook pro (early 2013) and a mac mini (late 2012).
Both are running 10.9.1. The mac mini has OS X server installed and 2 USB 3.0 harddisks attached to it in RAID0.
I have a Thunderbolt display hooked up to my MBP. I have a 1gbit wired network between the two machines.
Now comes the problem: file copy from the USB 3.0 RAID array to the macbook pro over AFP or SMB is slow, I only get around 8 MB/sec.
First I thought it was a wiring issue (I created my own ethernet cables). However, I tried copying the file via SCP (i.e. SSH) and then I get 50 MB/sec. Still not close to the maximum for gigabit, but at least a lot higher than 8 MB/sec.
I tried googling if anybody else has the same issue, but couldn't really find definitive answers.
I have tried everything with both jumbo frames of and on. Both give the same results.
What's even stranger is if I connect my MBP over 5 GHz to my airport instead of wired, I get 20 MB/sec over AFP....
As far as I know the problem did not arise in the pre-Mavericks time.
Does anybody have any suggestions or solutions? 8 MB/sec is not really that nice

Have you checked your ethernet speed/duplex settings on the ethernet port and XP machine?
