Finder froze... Please help

The finder window froze with the spinning Rainbow ball forever. Tried to restart the SHIFT key now, Mac began normally, but with the frozen finder and the spinning ball. All seems fine, safari, chrome, office work all! However, without the finder display and opening of files becomes difficult. Please, help me, I'm in the middle of something very important... I ran the disc utilities just yesterday and everything seemed fine and I have not either Yosemite! It is a mcbook 2012 pro...

I'm having a similar problem on my iMac vintage 2008 since the update to OS X 10.11.2, but not on my vintage 2011 Macbook Air.  On the iMac, Finder keeps freezing cannot change folders, search for docs, cannot iconify or close the Finder window, etc..  Workaround is to select 'Go' and then 'Documents' (or any other option).  When I do this the finder which was open window closes and another opens which then will allow me to select a document.  However, as soon as I iconify this window it freezes again.
