Colllapse 'Finder '?

Lion - Macbook, 120G HARD drive

I'm not completely sure why this is happening, but looks "Finder" collapses.

What happens is that all the icons on my desktop then disappear "reload" replace.  It seems to occur at random intervals, with no. particularly, visible pattern.

First, go to the utilities folder / disk utility and repair permissions. Then go to the finder in the dock and in now the option key, click on the finder and select recovery. Thirdly, stop Macbook and reboot now down the command, Option, P, R keys and power button for three carillon and reboot. This should fix it.

  • Need help to find an adapter for a third-party monitor

    Hi all! I find myself in need of a little guidance, and I hope that someone out there will have a quick n easy for me...

    I have a Mid-2011 27 'iMac. which has two ports Thunderbolt It is taken with a Wacom tablet that I use constantly, and the other is made by an external hard drive to a solid state, which has a built-in cable to Thunderbolt (no way to hang it on a different port). I also have a 27 "HP monitor that is currently connected via an HDMI USB adapter.

    The problem is that the HP monitor is actual "jiggy" - the USB does not seem fast enough to deal with requests for the monitor. It is almost unusable. I know I should run it via a HDMI adapter Thunderbolt, but as I have already mentioned the two my Thunderbolt ports are already in use.

    Someone at - it ideas? I need sort of three to two ports Thunderbolt hooks, but I can't seem to find anything for less than $300 that would work. (I am illiterate when it comes to the different cables, adapters, ports, etc., so I hope someone can point me in the right direction by using short words... Most of the products that I travel through list specifications that me Chicane).

    The monitor has two HDMIs and a VGA port, and my iMac has a Firewire 800 port, if that helps at all...

    2011 iMac have only 1 Thunderbolt port and there is no such thing as a Mid-2011, you must have an iMac of year later, if it has 2 ports Thunderbolt. All the 27 "iMacs, from 2012 to 2015 the current have 2 ports Thunderbolt.

  • Sierra: Changed the behavior of file Finder selection

    After upgrading to Sierra I can't select files in the Finder using the keyboard as before. When you try to select multiple files using SHIFT and arrow keys, it simply does not work properly (if you've experienced, you know what I mean).

    I already tried to remove the com.apple.finder.plist file in my Library/Preferences folder and reboot, nothing helps.

    (An example of the problem is on this post to Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/54caqk/sierra_changed_finder_file_selectio n_behavior_me / )

    Yes same behavior here with Sierra.

    Best thing to do send your feedback via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html apparently if 100 users report the same problem, it will attract attention. Yes, 1 down, 99 to go

  • How to find the key

    Is there a quick way to find the key of a song or instrumental that has been imported to the logic?

    No, you need a little music for this. I guess you could find it difficult to play with a keyboard and hear/guess the agreements/key?

    Here would be my suggestion for a workaround - if it is an entire song, as you indicate in your question:

    -To get agreements on a Web site

    -See if you can find the original version of keys (that would be easy, right?)

    - Then play these chords along your song imported. If they sound not right, transpose your up and down by steps MIDI track until it sounds right. -> Get your agreements and the key.

    If your song doesn't have agreements to seek, find parts of the song where you lift clear of bass notes (not too much battery), EQ everything, taking Tuner in pop in the track and see if you can pick up the dominant notes. That should lead you to your key of song.

  • Just updated to Sierra and updated Pages at the same time. Now when I try to select a line of text I find myself with an insertion point where I stopped by selecting

    Today, I updated for Sierra and updated to the latest version of the Pages. Now I find that I am more able to select a line of text. When I try to do, I find myself with an insertion point where I stopped by selecting, but nothing is selected. This is a bug in the new version of pages or get my wrong settings?

    You use a Wacom tablet by chance?

    Solution: Press the shift key, just before stop selection. And Yes, that sounds like trouble in the Sierra.

  • Why must the Finder 10.12 more physical memory

    Hello

    I use the preview mode icons in the Finder feature to pre-select one or more images for later use in documents. The pre-selection spans more than 30-40 records, each a few images from 80 to 120. At the beginning just after the start of system-Finder takes about MB, 45-47. Working through records about 20 this is increased to a muscular 1.78 GB. Which is not a problem at the moment because I have 20 GB of available, but I was wondering why the Finder is the hungry.  And also, this increase in the number of forever with the number of records, I'm working through?

    The only way I can "free" memory to baseline is to force quit viewfinder, but there must be a more elegant method.

    Anyone know this method? Thanks in advance.

    Hans

    Finder, as the system and other applications, will use unused memory in the file cache. It uses more memory, but it does not use what is available and who otherwise would be wasted. If something else needs memory, cache memory is reduced. There is no need to keep 'liberation' memory. The system will take care of him for you (that's why all apps free memory are unnecessary placebos that actually reduce performance).

  • Is it possible to compress more that can compress Finder?

    Hello

    I would like to compress my files more compress Finder. Is this possible? How can it be done? Need me external software for it?

    Not in a practical sense. If there were a better way than has been reliable and fast, Apple would already be him.

    If you are out of space, you need a bigger drive or an additional drive, or decide to place some of your 'stuff' on a player that remains on your desktop and is not available when you carry your PC autour.

  • Find my iPhone = locked. How is - anyone can call on it?

    My daughter just lost her iPhone 5 s, for which she has activated locking using footprint.  Using find my iPhone, we have seen that his phone is not connected to the Internet (we travel outside the country of origin). We used to find my iPhone and locked the phone using the software, including the addition of a message/reward. Strangely, its called phone phone my wife (strange random noises, but no voice response)-how is this possible?

    Here's a possible scenario:

    One person recovered the lost iPhone.  Obviously, this person doesn't have access to his fingerprint stored on the iPhone.  But when you try to unlock the iPhone, this screen will appear, looking for password of the iPhone:

    From there, the person clicks on "Emergency" (circled above).

    If your wife's iPhone is classified among the emergency numbers (in the application of health), then it would be possible to call it from the iPhone.

  • Finder crashing on macOS Sierra
