Finder is unresponsive

• Repeatable Finder is unresponsive

  I've been finding recently that finder will become unresponsive in strange ways. some of the ways this is manifested is that folder or files will become unselectable, or a file that is open will not close or a closed folder won't open etc.

  I have a mac 2012 pro with OS 32 GB disk and 4 TB with data.

  I make a stop and in the past this has disappeared for a while, but this week I stop and must be done within a period of one day.

  suggestions?

  Thank you

  May be a corrupt .plist.

  Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

  Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

  Relaunch the Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

  If the same, return the .plist to where you have it since, by crushing the latest.

• "regedit.exe find then unresponsive" when you search for an exe HKLM.

  Original title: regedit.exe find then does not

  When I open the registry by regedit and look for an exe with following HKLM, regedit.exe displays, "find next does not. When I search HKYCurrentUser or other registry keys for the same file, there is no problem. It's only the HKLM key which is not; the error says regedit.exe report crashes (uphang). Anyone has an idea why this occurs and how to troubleshoot and repair?

  Hi ErhanKarabekir.

  1. is the question confined with regedit only?
  2 have had any changes made to the computer before the question?

• Finder freezes when I try and do a right-click Sharing a file.

  When I try and share a file via the finder, right-click Sharing, Finder becomes unresponsive.

  I tried to reboot several times.

  I am running OS El Capitan, Macbook Air 13 "

  If you run any mac anti virus remove it completely

  If you run a mac as "little snitch" utility, "mackeeper', 'clean up my mac', ect. remove it now.

  If the problem persists check your hard drive with disk utility, if the reader does not error create a new account user with administration rights, start this account and try in this account.

• Finder does not not to stop

  3 days ago my iMac start to stop responding during shutdown. Is the finder.  the screen goes black but the cursor. and if I move the cursor I can get the dock bar and start programs, but the finder not working and after click right I see grayed text which is not resonding.

  Only job is about to push the button of power ten seconds to make a crude stop force.

  I try to google the answer and of course some file waiting for something.

  I delete the com.apple.finder.plist file.

  I uninstall all updates in the last 5 days

  I have uninstall the suspicious programs except the update of the NVIDIA driver.

  I have deep cleaning of the system with Onyx.

  I have reset NVRAM and SMC

  And... nothing works.

  everything works ok but if I try to disconnect, restart or shutdown, the screen goes black and stuck in there.  And finder is unresponsive.

  Outdated software for a Tablet Wacom can prevent the closing. If you no longer use the device, please remove the software. Otherwise, update the latest version of the Web site of the manufacturer.

  According to reports, after following the link removal instructions above, you may also need to open the users and groups in system preferences, select the login items tab and remove all Wacom related items. If true, the uninstall program is defective. I can't confirm.

  Back up all data before making any changes.

• Finder does not open

  Any ideas how to get my Finder to open it. I shut down the computer for a while, then at his inauguration Finder is inadmissible.

  I open a new message in Mail and click on it to attach it and he knocked down, but other that I can't ' search and I can't access - or eject - an external device that is in the USB port.

  Hello CLEVR.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand that Finder becomes unresponsive when you start your computer.  First of all, if you have not connected external devices, disconnect them so that your computer is turned off.  Then, please start your computer in safe mode and try again.

  1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

  2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

  3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

     You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

  4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

  To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

  OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

  Take care.

• problem of time machine Airport: finder does not

  Hello

  I use a time capsule from the airport. The connection works fine.

  However, I was doing a few files "organized" in the records of the airport and all of a sudden the finder would not respond. I tried to 'Force quit' the finder and start again or turn off 30 seconds time capsule, but the result is the same for a few days now. When I return to my main folder in capsule, automatically the finder is unresponsive and I have to restart the finder.

  One of the reasons could be that when I was doing 'organized' files (like move one folder to another, etc.) he too complicated (large files) and then the thing all jammed.

  Anyway, if you guys might have a solution for me, this would not lose all my files I appreciate.

  Thank you very much for your time.

  All the best,

  Florent

  PS: I'm using an Imac, Yosemite, version 10.10.03

  Nothing will fix itself without some spoil your files... Something has stuck at halfway between the two and is now corrupted. Unfortunately, Finder can not work around the problem... If you did this correctly, you can use disk utility to solve the problem... but you cannot run disk on TC utility because it is a network drive.

  You have three choices I see...

  One that suits that I listed last.

  1 make the cleaning of the Terminal file. It's hard I think because you do not know which files you were moving around in time. And work of the terminal is for real experts or you can do more damage than you started with.

  2. use a windows computer connected to the CT... that sounds crazy, I know, but you will not crash explore like you do finder. Fix up (remove all the files that are half way moved). If you have been for example copy of records. (travel is not a method Apple uses... so what do you mean by moving?)

  Delete the moved folder... Make sure you have all the files elsewhere of course.

  3. There is a way around that could save...

  In airport utility go to the disk tab and select archive.

  You need to connect a Mac to format USB stick capacity equal or superior to all the files on the TC, including backup (tell me, you need not backup)... you can't be selective. And start archiving. Once you have it on a hard drive which you can then plug your computer... you can run the utility disk on it and fix the problems before opening finder... Once you have done this... Erase the zone folder on TC and copy it to the back of the USB drive repaired. This method may work best... it will cost you a USB... BTW, which is how you should have done this...

  Now the rap on the fingers. You can stop reading now...

  NEVER USE A NETWORK DRIVE TO YOUR HAND WITHOUT A BACKUP FOLDERS.

  When you handle files... do you not understand that each file must be copied TC - computer - TC. If you do more wireless... corruption is inevitable.

  All the key files should be on the local drive... A USB plugged into the computer is fine... but active faster the better... libraries and files will end by corrupted if you use files on a network resource and access more wireless... even on ethernet, it can not not... but more wireless, it's inevitable. Apple didn't build protection in the TC to work as a file server. You use software designed for local use.

  Always save... If this happened and you had the worst backups that could happen is that you need to clear the TC and copy the files back.

  Keep this and you will eliminate not only a few files but loads of them... maybe all.

  A time Capsule is not designed for running your files of overload... Plug in a USB key or faster in particular the iMac is great hassle since you can use in powered car and hide behind the computer... The TC is for your TM backups. Dragging files to it... you have now no way back up since the TC cannot save itself and Time Machine backup network drives impossible.

  End rap.

• 2012 MacBook Air not to close properly

  Hello

  I had problems with my MacBook Air from mid-2012. Lately he has not been able to restart without manual stop or stop in the Terminal (sudo reboot).

  A few months ago, I tried to install Linux as a dual boot and had to wipe my drive but have not had any problems in the meantime. I currently have a Boot Camp Windows 10 partition, but it was installed some time ago. This could be my problem or is this something tied to the side Mac?

  Thanks for any help you have to offer!

  Remove the Wacom software, it is a known problem in 10.11.5

  Also check all Wacom is removed from Log-in Items(use the) Sys Preferences > users and groups > login items

  If Wacom tablet etc. is vital for your workflow — after remove you and test your machine - try to download the most updated the driver from Wacom.

• 27-inch Imac (2011) will play is more DVD

  It wasn't a problem, before I've upgraded to El Capitan. But having received only a few new commercial DVDs I tried to run and each time they were ejected after 30 seconds without explanation. I know that the DVD themselves are ok because work on an ancient mac laptop. When I tried a job formerly DVD, it worked but when I tried to eject it, the app froze and I had to use force them to leave. DVD player smoking but the DVD would not eject. I tried various tricks to eject it but ultimately had to do a restart. After the reboot, this old DVD has been treated as the nine. My machine does not recognize. Later, I opened the drive DVD of Launchpad, inserted the new DVD and recalled in the file menu "Open DVD Media". If it showed two folders "Audio_TS" and "Video_TS" all the files in the folder have been listed, but is not accessible. Clicking play gave me the message "the disc supported is not available" (although at this time, he showed as an icon on the desktop. Then I got the beachball dead and when I opened it the player after the force quit I was still this beachball and no further response. When I did drag the icon of the DVD disc in the trash, Finder became unresponsive and I had to restart, the DVD disc has disappeared from the top of the desk, wrapped around but does not eject. Finally I ejected it with the keyboard button. When I restarted DVD player without the drive it seemed to work, IE no beachball, so I re inserted the annoying disc and this time, it worked.

  Why am I having to go through all this palaver?

  But hang in there! as soon as I tried to play it it told me he was unaware of the damaged areas, (this plays on my laptop, however) and after a few minutes we were at the beachball. Error 69902 then reported as a DVD Player system error. Then it crashed. Not one of the 6 new DVDs that is given to me for Christmas would load or play. Now we're back to not even have an icon on the desktop and the discs eject automatically after a minute

  The issue has nothing to do with El Capitan, I got El Capitan installed on my iMac 2011 for months and have never had any problems with DVD playback. Your problem may be a dirty or faulty drive or the computer may need a simple reset. First make a few resets base as a SCM and reset the PRAM, the indications are in iMac SMC and reset the PRAM. If the reset does not work, go to your local office supply store and get a CD/DVD cleaning kit, follow the directions and clean the lenses. There are lasers for CD and DVD in the SuperDrive, one of you maybe just dirty or it may have failed. IF the cleaning kit does not resolve your problem, you will need to replace the drive. You can either get another drive SuperDrive (not recommended because of the expenditure) or you can get an external drive. If you decide to take an external hard drive I recommend contacting OWC (www.macsales.com) and they can help you to choose the one that fits your needs.

• Time Machine is stuck on 'clean up' and now Finder "unresponsive".

  I started a backup TM of my La Cie 650 GB external hard drive last night - this morning said TM it is 'clean' and did not move from 163,41 Go Go 209,69 - probably he has been there for hours, it's for an hour already and it hasn't moved. It's my first backup in about a year (Yes, I know, but takes time away from me...). I searched the forums and the web to help you, but nothing is understandable (as Pondini), the other stuff is too mysterious for me. Some people talked about deleting files that say ".inprogress", but don't tell how to find these files and others cautioned against this tactic in any case.

  But now Finder "unresponsive" and I'm afraid to leave strength Finder - how I'd do anything then? I tried to disable the backup on TM interface, but all he says is "stop backup" without actually stopping. I can't leave it by clicking the x at the end of the progress bar (which is a zebra Strip) because Finder is not responding. Now the TM progress bar disappeared and so has the TM interface - perhaps because I clicked on 'backup shutdown', but La Cie icon on my desk is always green, indicating that the backup is still ongoing (I think). I can't access all the apps because of the Finder does not work, if I can access the web. I'll make a power button closure, but thought I'd ask here first. Other posts here have said that TM is managed in OS X forums, while below, I gives me the choice of TM and OS X forums, so I chose both. Thank you all.

  Update: I had to eventually give up and restart because TM slowed everything down without making any progress. Meanwhile, joins system preferences Finder in "not responding." I Force Quit Finder, which lets me access the menu bar/Apple of the upper tool, but by clicking on restart only swept my desktop clean without having to restart. So, I did a shutdown power button. When I rebooted, Finder and system preferences were back to normal and TM had stopped smoking and the icon of the Cie was back to orange.

  Except that now my desktop screen is by default magenta-purple sky Snow Leopard - choose my previous view in system preferences/display-Screensaver does nothing, but I can see the photo in this menu area. I ran disk utility on my HD and the co. with no complications. I rebooted twice trying to find my desktop display, but no go. Everything seems normal, but I have not tried all the apps beyond the messaging and browser. It's all very weird.

• Finder and Safari unresponsive

  I just downloaded and installed Mac OS Sierra and now Finder and Safari do not react.  I force quit Safari and relaunch the Finder but no different.  All other apps seem to work normally.

  Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. Read https://www.apple.com/support/backup/to learn how to do this please. To learn how to use Time Machine read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac. The reason for creating a backup, it's that the symptoms you describe pourrait be a sign of an imminent hard drive failure, data security is a major concern.

• Finder is slow or unresponsive

  I have a huge problem with the Finder on my iMac (late 2012). Finder does not often respond very slowly. It looks like it all started there, maybe after the last update of El Capitan weeks.

  I use Finder in combination with iCloud (by car), may be causing the problem, or Time Machine has something to do with it.

  Anyone has the same problem or a solution? I downloaded the latest update of ElCapitan (update combo 10.11.5) but the problem is still there.

  My iMac has been repaired for weeks before the problem started, bit memory extra has been added (16GB). It is 21.5 inches, a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. 10.11.5 OSX

  Run this test and post the results here.

  Try to open the menu to go with the Option (Alt) key - Library - Preferences button and find the file called "com.apple.finder.plist". Move it to the trash, and then restart your computer.

• Firefox has becomes slow and unresponsive after that I tried to install the addons (not installed)?

  I recently format my computer and reinstall windows 7, since it was the only way I know of to solve the problem with Firefox (I already had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it. This version was super fast. But becomes slow and unresponsive when I tried to install the Add-ons. I visited the official site of firefox and searching for addons, when I tried to install addons, Firefox crashed. Therefore, it has becomes quite slow and cannot restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, it takes more than 5 minutes and reacts more frequently (after typing each letter).
  I want to know if this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable".

  Hey there,

  We are sorry to hear that Firefox crashes. To better help you, please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.

  1. Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent report ID begins with bp - and then back to your forum question but that stick in the box of "Post a response. (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

  

  Once you have done so, you could try the Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  I hope this helps!
