USB transfer hangs, Finder freezes - cannot relaunch Finder

Is there a way to FORCE a relaunch of the Finder when it hangs during a USB transfer (to a mobile phone) ?
I use Relaunch Finder, Actitivity Monitor, etc, to no avail. The Finder will not re-launch.
Everything else works (such as this Safari use of Apple Forums).
Restarting the Mac is a drag.

Eric,
I really thank you for your quick response. Before I try that, I need to explain something I just did- My time machine backup external hard drive is actually a guardian maximus 2 slot raid 1 setup to mirror so I have 2 disks. Before I do anything to reset time machine, I took that Guardian Maximus and tried to connect direct to my computer to read it. It would not recognize it. then I took out BOTH hard drives and tried to read them individually. Disk Utility said BOTH needed repair. The odd thing is that the Guardian lights did not turn red on either one- both lights green. Which is what its supposed to do. Any suggestions based on this information?
I really do appreciate all you in the forum provide.

Hanging finder, software freezes, lack of console clues, Genius befuddled

For several weeks I have been experiencing the following problem:
- A given program will freeze -- generally, this appears to be a browser or an SSB like Fluid or Prism.
- At first, I will continue to be able to navigate around to other programs, and usually can even save documents and shut programs down. At some point, however, the entire system will freeze up.
- This usually occurs when I try to close down the program that initially froze up. For instance: Let's say I have 2 Firefox windows open, each with 2 tabs, and one of those tabs freezes. After a period of still being able to navigate between tabs and windows, the whole program will freeze. I'll then try to do a force quit, either via the dock or the Apple menu icon. This invariably fails.
- It has also occurred several times when I've put the computer to sleep by closing the display -- upon re-opening, this entire process begins.
- Shortly after that the Finder freezes up and I need to manually force the computer to shut down. This is especially problematic when I have an external drive connected.
- When this occurs I'm unable to launch Terminal to kill any troublesome programs by the kill [PID #] command.
+(Similar problems have come up in a number of different Discussion forums -- a complete list is at the end of this post.)+
In at least one forum -- which I now am having trouble finding -- there was a reference to difficulties with USB connections. I have been experiencing intermittent problems with USB connections to external mice and keyboards. This is generally solved by disconnected and reconnected several times.
_I've taken a wide range of steps to try and solve this, including_:
Totally reinstalling Snow Leopard from disk.
Trashing all my Fluid apps (through AppDelete, so I know everything is gone from preference panes, etc)
Trashing Fluid
Trashing Chrome
Trashing Google Quick Search Box
Trashing and reinstalling Quicksilver
Turning off GeekTool
Removing the FireFound extension in FF and updated the Adobe plugin in FF.
Trashing the Launch Services preference file
Removing GrowlHelperApp, WeatherDock, MagiCal, and Precipitate from Login items.
Running Disk Utility (nothing showed up as being a problem).
Cleaning User Cache.
Cleaning System Cache.
Removing temporary files.
Flushing DNS cache.
I've also tried running Activity Monitor fulltime -- and didn't notice anything odd there.
_Other pertinent details_:
The following continues to run as Login Items:
ShoveBox
WashingMachineHelper

I've been running SN since August 09; this only began in the last several weeks.
I run 1Password 3.
I have plenty of memory and plenty of free space on the HD (90GB).
That's all I can think of at the moment -- but obviously am willing to consider anything and provide any relevant info.
+Obligatory Genius Bar rant+
After going through much of the above I made a Genius Bar appt. The Genius knew far, far less than I did about Macs, and I don't know much -- all I've done is poke around the Interweb. He didn't know what an SSB was, hadn't ever heard of Fluid or Quicksilver, didn't know it was possible to run scripts on the desktop via Geektool, etc. He essentially told me to run Disk Utility and if that didn't work to hope everything turned out alright. That was infuriating enough; what was even more frustrating was that he clearly hadn't spent any time whatsoever poking around Apple discussion forums so he could keep up on any ongoing issues. It was like when I brought in my iPhone because the update to iTunes 3 killed off its ability to pick up WiFi signals and drained its battery.

When this occurs, nothing shows up in the Console CrashReporter. In the regular log, one message usually displays over and over. A sampling:

Hi,

after having absorbed about every single suggestion wrt this issue.
Hopes it helps for you!

After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message. This didn't used to happen. How can this be corrected?

After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message. This didn't used to happen. How can this be corrected?

When you right (control) click on the disk and click eject "disk name", do you pull it immeadiatly or wait a few seconds for it to unmount? Try waiting and see if you get the same message. If you do, when the disk is connected go to applications/utilities/disk utility, after opening DU, select the volume in question from the left side bar and try a permissions repair, you may also run verify disk and see if it comes up with any errors (they will be in red)

Quicklook hanging Finder

Without any software update or indeed material change of any kind to one of my iMacs, I'm suddenly in a situation whereby QuickLook hangs Finder when it tries to provide a preview of any given file type. I'm temporarily turn off preview from the Finder/View Options to allow the Mac to carry on, but would like to solve the underlying problem.
Looking at the logs, I'm guessing this is the underlying problem as it repeats the same error log entry once per second.
10/12/2014 18:10:16.538 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.quicklook[7943]) Service could not initialize: Unable to set current working directory. error=2, path=/tmp: 14B25: xpcproxy + 12907 [1227][1016C726-9ACF-3A24-9C51-A279F5C6B167]: 0x2

I've surfed through various other threads here and tried a few things, without success:
Terminal - "qlmanage -r" - this just hangs after saying "resetting quicklook d"
Remove Preferences plist entries
Found an alias Data folder within Containers/com.apple.quicklook.ui.helper that apparently should be a regular folder - renamed/created accordingly
Would very much appreciate any advice to resolve.
Thanks,
Andy

Alright. I found another post and it fixed everything instantly. As soon as I ran the command in Terminal all icon previews came back. It’s a problem with the /tmp folder. The original post is here. Such a feeling of relief.
Open Terminal and run:
sudo mkdir /private/tmp
followed by
sudo chmod 0777 /private/tmp

Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. Try a different USB cable. Try a different USB port on your computer, try a dedicated USB port on the back of computer.
Maybe a bit easier than DFU Mode is Recovery Mode. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone, hold both Home and Power buttons until iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

Windows 8 hangs or freezes whenever search for anything

Rebuild the Index
Whenever you try to search for something in windows, its indexing which find the things quickly and brings that to you.If indexing is disabled or corrupt computer won't be able to search and will not present the search results.Windows uses the index to perform very fast searches on your computer.
The index requires almost no maintenance. However, if the index can't find a file that you know exists in an indexed location, you might need to rebuild the index. Rebuilding the index can take several hours, and searches might be incomplete until the index is fully rebuilt.
Go to Control panel and open Indexing Options.
Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the Indexing Options window. This displays a new window titled Advanced Options.
Click the Index Settings tab if it isn’t selected already.
Click the Rebuild button to delete and rebuild the file index.
Click OK to confirm.
For more information on Advance indexing option you can read article on microsoft's website http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change-advanced-indexing-options
Step 2 will always fix this issue but just in case its not helpful try the next Step 3.
3.Check the Registry Value
Manual Fix 1
1. Press Windows Key + R to get the run dialogue box.
2. Type "regedit.exe" in the box and hit enter.
3. Using the box on the left, navigate to the following directory:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
4. We need to change a registry called "Start_SearchFiles" to a value of 2. If you are like me, yours is already 2. We need to reset this so what we are going to do it change it to 0, then back to 2.
5. Double-click Start_SearchFiles or right-click and select "Modify" to get the edit box. Change the number under "Value data" to 0 then click "Ok".
6. Repeat step 5, changing the value back to 2.
7. Restart your computer.

Hi,
Regarding current information we can't say that it related to this exe file.
We need to use Clean boot mode and Safe mode to test the results:
Please first restart the Windows in Clean boot and see if the issue still persists after reboot:
How to perform a clean boot
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
half services.
If the issue still persists in Clean boot mode, please test in Safe mode.
Let me know the results in Safe mode.
If we cannot identify this issue in Clean boot and safe mode, please help to collect the boot trace and let's see what cause this issue:

>Here's a more intelligent response
Well here it is a year later and daylight savings has ended.
Everytime I try to open a dynamic page, Dreamweaver CS3 hangs.
So I find this thread, delete the winfilecache.dat file, and all is well.

So DWQues, the answer is out there for those with open minds.
I doubt DWQues will ever come this way again, but I am sure others will.

IMAQ USB Snap hangs all of LabVIEW?!?

I am having trouble with my USB cameras hanging a production machine. We are using 4 usb cameras from uEye for inspection and vision correction on a pick and place robot. The application is multithreaded, yet when the SNAP VI hangs, all threads in the application hang.
I can repeat this problem by disconnecting the USB cable to a camera. The system does not recover even after the USB is reconnected.
I have found in the past the Microsofts USB driver power managment seems to have an effect on the reliability of the USB system. The machine is also exposed to vibration which could cause intermittent connections.
While we are trying to solve all of these issues, I seem to have no way to detect if the camera is present before snapping the image. I cannot seem to prevent the system from snapping while the USB is disconnected.
Is there anything than can be done in order to have the SNAP vi return an error rather than hanging, or to tell the status of the device before snapping?
I have attached two example VI's which both repeatably cause the freeze. Just run the sample, plug in the usb camera, then disconnect it.
Im not sure if this is a LVDirectShow level issue, a DirectShow level issue, or a Camera Manufacturer(driver) issue (uEye).
If anyone has another brand of usb camera and can give my tests a quick run I would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks,
-Tim

Mac mini's USB Modem hangs up

My G4 mini's Apple USB Modem hangs up if I mount a flash drive or an SD card via an IOGear, ac powered, combo USB port expander and memory card reader. I have the latest system updates. The modem is hooked up directly to one of mini's own USB ports, the IOGear to the other. How can I avoid these hangups? Thanks.
(I see another post about the same thing happening when a USB printer communicates. There is a tech note about having to put in an audio CD to use with iTunes prior to connecting to the net for the same hangup issue.
And I see the following tech note, which I don't understand:
Connect only one high bandwidth or isochronous USB device to each USB bus.
If your computer has a single USB bus, adding a USB interface card provides a second USB bus. Without a second USB bus, you may have to completely disconnect one high bandwidth or isochronous USB device in order to utilize another.
In general, two high bandwidth devices cannot share the same USB bus. Each USB bus has a maximum bandwidth of 12 Mbits/s. A USB device can request up to 6 Mbits/s of bandwidth. Depending on how they operate, high bandwidth devices may compete with each other and therefore may need to be placed on separate USB busses to work properly.
Isochronous devices cannot be shared on a single bus. USB supports isochronous devices, which can be high or low bandwidth. Examples of common isochronous devices include cameras and CD-R drives.)
new old stock ppc mini Mac OS X (10.4.8) runs good!

Do you have another USB keyboard around? If so, then try it with that one but if not then you might need to get the extender replaced or just go completly wireless if you have the built in wireless connection.
I've had a similar issue with one of my Playstation 2 Controllers. I had to give it enough pressure for it to kick back on. I also remember accidently trippin over the cord. I just tossed it out and bought another one but apple keyboards are a little bit more expensive.
The day that I started to trip over cords, was the day that I started dreaming about Wireless Input Devices.

USB External HD causing freeze on boot up.

I have a Satellite A665-S6086 that I bought a little over a year ago. It's out of warranty. I have a 3 TB external hard drive that I use with this laptop. When it is plugged directly into a USB port, the laptop freezes on boot up, between the Toshiba screen and the Windows screen (the flashing cursor in the upper left corner stops flashing and there is no progression in the boot up sequence). When it is plugged in through a USB hub, there is no problem. I'd like to install a second OS on the external HD, but when it's plugged into a hub, although it registers once Windows is loaded, it doesn't show up in the boot sequence as an option (it doesn't show up in the BIOS settings when plugged in to a hub). Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I will have to wait a week to get my hands on it..
Then let's say a bit more.
If it turns out that you cannot install HWSetup, then let's access the BIOS directly outside of Windows. Or you can forget about the utility altogether if you prefer.
You access the BIOS Setup during boot by pressing the F2 key when you see the offer. If there's no offer, press the Esc key. See this Toshiba article.
BIOS Setup / BIOS settings -- access instructions
You'll see instructions in there on how to set the boot priority and how to save the new settings when you exit the BIOS.
Remember, we want to put the hard drive at the top of the list so that other ports are not interrogated during boot.

X100e Hanging and Freezing on Wireless

     There was a different thread addressing freezing and hanging when connected via ethernet; however, I have had ethernet disabled from the BIOS since day one of receiving my system but I found my system to be locking up extremely often particularly when connected to the Wi-Fi at Purdue University.
     For reference: The wireless network at Purdue University uses WPA-Enterprise with PEAP + Thawte Security Certificate.
     Naturally, I had the latest BIOS (1.25) and had all the updates available from ThinkVantage System Update, but this did not seem to help any - when I was browsing on my university network it would simply hang and freeze up completely every 30 minutes or so, forcing me to restart the system. It would seem to freeze regardless of whether or not I was even doing anything on the internet.
There did not seem to be any serious issues on my home network, however, which used WPA2-Personal, but I do not really use my x100e at home enough to say for sure.
     I was quite convinced that there was some sort of problem with either the wireless adapter drivers or some sort of power saving feature at this point, so I uninstalled the Lenovo x100e wireless drivers and obtained the newest drivers for the RTL8192SE chipset directly from RealTek and installed them.
     I then went and disabled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for the wireless adapter from Device Manager. I also set the wireless adapter to "Maximum Performance" and turned off PCI Express Link state power management from the power manager. I also turned off idle timers for stopping hard disk rotation, system standy, and hibernation.
Now after this little set of actions I seem to be able to more or less surf and download things stably on my university network. I must note that, the system will still hang every now and then while I am browsing around. I don't notice any particular pattern to this hanging; it simply happens when I have a browser open and am surfing normally - it will hang for about 40 seconds or so (I can move my mouse but nothing will respond) and then it will simply resume normal operation.
So there is my story....
Has anyone else ever experienced hanging or freezing on wireless networks with their x100e?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
So far, my networking results with my ThinkPad X100e have been very good, but I have only used it on a few networks.
Have you tried using your ThinkPad X100e on different wireless networks to see if the results vary? Perhaps the problem occurs with wireless networks that are configured in a specific fashion or using specific hardware. Connecting at a local coffee shop or public library or other venue with wireless Internet access may provide a different experience.

Adobe Premiere Elements 10 on Mac OS 10.7.2 - Hanging and Freezing

While I'm not very knowlegable about video editing software, I do use Premiere Elements 10 to edit videos for YouTube. I recently have been able to record using a device which records in 1080i, 29.97fps and saves as an mp4 file format. I've been trying to edit these files (which can be up to an hour long) in Premiere Elements; however, as soon as a video file from this recorder is imported and dragged into the project, it hangs and freezes. Sometimes, the hang happens when "conforming" the video file; other times it happens when trying to preview the video.
My theory is that it is due to the file format, or because of the sheer size of the file. The files can be several GBs.
I have tried to reinstall the program, but this hasn't worked.
Is there any advice you could give me?
Thanks,
LiamWatson28.

Hey Bill, thanks for the quick response.
It does use the H.264 CODEC. The project preset I'm using is NTSC-AVCHD-Full HD 1080i 30, although when I import the video to the project, I sometimes get a dialog box telling me that the project settings can be matched to the imported video, which I allow it to do. I have around 250GB of free space on my HDD. I allow the video and audio to conform and such on importing, I do not try to edit the video/audio while it is conforming. I'd also like to add that all files are transferred onto the HDD before the edit.
My specs:
MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) running Mac OS 10.7.4 (Lion) I apologise, I had this wrong in the title and the original post.
Intel Core i5 2.4GHz Dual-Core
8GB RAM
500GB SATA HDD
Intel HD3000 Integrated Graphics (if that's any help)
If there's anything else I need to provide, please let me know.
EDIT: I just tested editing a 10 minute video with the same file format and project preset, and, while it was hanging as frequently, it would only be for up to 5 seconds. Compared to the 50 minute video I was trying to edit, the hangs were much longer, sometimes becoming freezes. I know that if there aren't any immediate fixes and using the same video settings, I'll have to reduce the file size by reducing the length of the video, so cutting more frequently rather than recording long stretches.
Thanks,
