10.11.5 OS finder opens, then disappears

THW first time after a reboot, I click the Finder icon in the dock, a window swooshes out and then poofs away. The next time I click the icon, nothing happens at all. I can do a finder window by right clicking and selecting new Finder window for the menu. It's the only thing that works.

????

Hello there, Carol in Chicago!

Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! I know how it is certainly important the Finder Windows works properly as well! I would like to begin by following the steps here: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up. These steps to see if the problem is something that runs in the background when you start.

Another option is to check and see if the problem is specific to the user. This is done by following the link on How to test a question in another account on your Mac user. Just be sure to check out the issue after you complete the steps.

See you soon!

  • Satellite computer C75D laptop: HP Solution center opens, and then disappears

    Apparently, there was a software update HP on 18/12/15 followed by 2 updates to windows 12/22 and 12/25/15.  I did not use the meanwhile hp Solution Center, so I don't know which is the origin of the problem.  When I try to open the software, I see it briefly and then disappears.  I need the software to be able to scan.

  • Phantom Lady: pop photo and then disappear

    Hi all
    A friend's computer is infected with the image (full screen) a woman "ghost". That picture pop up, stay for 2 seconds and then disappear. Quite scary when you work on a document. I did a scan with Kaspersky online, but it didn't find it. If anyone knows what this could be. Thank you.

    Hello

    I'm not 100% sure but I think it has something to do with Internet explorer. It is possible that some dangerous pages is listed as start page and every time happen this pop-up window.

    If you remove options Internet explorer, which will probably help not at all because there are probably some entries in the registry. I recommend you to analyze the HARD disk and the malware research. Also check if you can find any application for scanning of rootkits.

    Delete also all temporary Internet files. You are using another browser, like Firefox?

  • Can't get my GMail password! Settings > mail > Gmail: press the "re - enter Password' and the window starts to load, but then disappears.

    In my settings > Mail, Contacts, calendar, Notes under accounts is my GMail account which works perfectly well on my iPhone 6 until what I changed my GMail password. Of course, the next time I go to check my GMail emails on my phone (NOTE: I do not use a separate Gmail application) it tells me to update my password in settings.

    When I try to do it, by pressing the blue text "Reset Password", the Gmail window starts to open and then immediately disappears!

    I've been scouring the internet everyday looking for a solution. I tried the phone off (properly) and then restarting him. That did not help. I tried settings > Mail, Contacts, calendar, notes 'Add an account' but when I press 'Google' I have the same thing - the window starts loading, then it disappears.

    Just out of curiosity, I typed as others (iCloud, Exchange, Yahoo, AOL and Outlook) on the list and they all open a screen except for Google and Yahoo, which also starts loading but then disappears immediately. I wonder why it happens that Google and Yahoo? (I don't have a Yahoo email account configured on this phone. Only Gmail and Exchange (for work, that works perfectly, no problems with this one)

    So, when I tried failed to load Google connection/settings window, click on 'Other' on this list, thinking maybe I'll manually add my GMail account again (as a IMAP), but the iPhone doesn't let me do that without also configuring servers of incoming/outgoing mail as if it were a POP configuration? I gave up that idea.

    What I really want, it's simply Reset my password on my phone to my Gmail account in the settings. Does anyone else have this problem? Y at - it a bug known in this regard? Is there a work around for this? I'm doing something wrong? I have to take this phone to an Apple store and get help here?

    SOLVED! I thought about it. As usual, at the point where I have ask for help is when I tell me how to solve. It's simple, really. I was at work, so I guess that the security settings on the wifi of the company prevented me to access these panels (for some odd reason)? I simply turned off the wifi in the settings, and everything works perfectly.

    I hope that if all the world is facing the same question that helps.

  • I couldn't find 'Open URL' on Windows Media Player.

    Microsoft Community, good day,

    I couldn't find 'Open URL' on Windows Media Player, if I can get the direction where it is.
     
    In anticipation of your support.
    Respectfully,.
    Filip CIKLEVSKI

    On mine, "Open URL" is in the file menu.

    If you don't see the file menu, then:

    and tick "Show menu bar". Then you should see the menu of old style etc.

    Click on and the options are , etc.

    You can also if you don't want older menus showing:

    1 open WMP, press the then the key and the menu should appear.

    or

    2 simply type together (i.e. Control AND u touches at the same time)
