• Don't Force Quit Safari (yahoo mail?)

  For a few months now, yahoo mail seems to freeze the finder (when using Safari - to the extent where I can not force leaves them. The cursor still moves, but the dock will not appear. Safari greys out and I have to turn off and restart.

  Is there a fix or a workaround?

  Safari/Preferences/Advanced - activate the menu to develop it, then go ahead and empty Caches. Quit/relaunch Safari and test. Then try Safari/history/Show History and remove all items from the history.  Quit/relaunch Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History... The downside is that it deletes all cookies. It could upset some sites no longer recognizes your computer as one that has visited the web site. 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 Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db, and then move it to the trash.

  Go to Safari preferences/Extensions and disable all extensions. Test. If correct, enable the extensions one by one until find you which extension is causing the problem.

• MacBook Pro (13-INCH, late 2011) constantly gel

  My Macbook Pro, (2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3) recently started to freeze with a command or a simple task that I try to do. I've updated to the latest version of OS X El 10.11.5 captain who was available for me in the last week or so, but the problem started before that would go far so I thought that maybe if I've updated what the problem was. There is, of course, no. I tried to clean my computer for more disk space (I currently have 50 GB) but it's really frustrating when it freezes every second I'm removing something or download something.

  At startup, it takes time for it usually loads. I'll connect and 3 out of 4 times, it freezes when I type my password then unfreezes when it connects. It takes forever to load. I already checked the system preferences for startup and connection applications. There are not.

  I open safari (or any other application) and it will take awhile, freeze, show me the beachball cursor and then open minutes later. I go and type on safari, it freezes again. I can't do it through any simple task without it freezing constantly. I DO NOT download anything off the internet, nor do I even all bookmarks or whatever it be backed up on Safari. I even tried to reset those already with a recommendation of a Web site. Safari is not the only application that freezes like this or the other. My Photos App will similarly, freezes my finder and it will take 10-15 minutes to open a folder with a single point inside. Each. Unique. Request.

  Also, I got a notification saying "adobe script can not finish running and can slow down your computer" or something similar to this, you still want to run or quit smoking. I have leave of course and then check to see that the adobe script was running. He was not one, or anywhere to even stop it.

  I don't know if my battery has nothing to do with it either. My Macbook currently drains the battery in less than an hour if is not plugged.

  I looked to the top of the console with a recommendation out of a Web site, for example, I don't know what I'm looking for, either. I try to scroll (even if it freezes when I do) to see if there are errors, I know the hand but honestly, I don't know. I also tried the repair utility disk, however, who failed because whenever I try to do so that it freezes and is in fact frozen where it not same process and try to break free.

  I looked at the RAM, but also don't know what I'm looking for here either.

  OH, finally I tried running Safe Boot, but it's just too slow.

  Unfortunately I can't take it into an apple store since I live about 8 hours away we and hoped someone could help me to solve the problems. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am available for questions as well.

• Finder of freezing and acting weird

  Hi I had a couple issues Finder weird recently any help would be much appreciated!

  The finder drawing seems to freeze - can I open a folder or a new window of finder and sometimes it will be fine, but then it will be half freeze - the content of the window is not displayed - it will just be white or the background (desktop etc) is drawn in the finder window. I screen shotted because it's a little hard to describe...

  

  It seems to go there I kill finder / restart for 2-5 minutes... then the problem comes back.

  I deleted finder prefs, doesn't seem to help. I did a reboot in recovery mode and ran the repair disc utilities and which seem to help for a few days, but now back!

  I can close the windows in the finder and open new, and the question seems to come and go a little... Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Start Safe Mode removes the system caches that can help.

  Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  Then, try the Finder.

• Finder freezes

  I use MacBookAir 10.9.5. Freezes in my Finder. I do forcequit, raise, then it works for only once and then crashes. I tried to implement some solutions proposed by google search as plists to remove or change the shared file in system preferences settings. No solution has emerged. Help, please

  Try a reboot.

  Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

  Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  Isolate a problem by using a different user account

  If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  Safe mode

• Finder constantly need stimulus, freezes (Macbook pro running with the Mavericks)

  I have a macbook pro running on 10.9.5 Mavericks. I got it for a few years? Pretty smooth sailing, touch wood, except for a few days every time I try to use the finder it freezes and the screen gets corrupted look (so; it's like a picture of me trying to access my applications folder).

  

  If I use force quit to make finder restart, it will work for the first couple items, I try to find, and then do it again. I tried to delete the plist finder and reboot, but no dice. Is there something I can do?

  Wow, never heard of that before. Beautiful new computer, too.

  Try to connect as a guest (or any other user account) and see if the same thing happens.

  • If you do not have an active guest account (you would see on your login screen), open system preferences and go to users and groups.
  • Click on the padlock at the bottom on the left and enter your admin password.
  • Under the section other users to the left of the window, click Guest user.
  • Check "Allow guests to connect to this computer."
  • For ease of use, click Connection Options at the bottom and check "see the fast user switching menu under...". "The option is not serious.

  Click on your username at the top, next to the Spotlight search, and select guest user. Find out if the Finder is doing the same thing... then you can log on to the guest user account and return to your current account.

• Finder crashes / freezes when I'm online

  Last week, my Finder acted very funny.  Frequently, it crashes and freezes after several minutes of passage to other windows or change of icon displayed in the list view, etc..  At first, I thought that the icon display was more 'stable', but not sure at 100%.  Also, it looks like that when I am offline accidents don't happen as much or at all.  Tried to dump the preferences already (finder prefs and sidebar pref), nothing helps.

  

  I posted the console logs here.  OS X release 10.9.5 (last updated the week last of 10.9.4, so that might have something to do with it?), 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM.  MacBook Pro 2013.  Please help - thanks.

• Finder keeps freezing

  Hello

  I use a Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.5 and 2.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM

  My finder does not respond well at all. When I force quit and re launch I could receive a 20-30 seconds to respond to him then back to even again.

  The last things I did are added a lot of samples and music loops to my folder of music and video files on my desktop filmed using a digital SLR. I have more than 90 GB of memory left so many doubt that would be the problem.

  The steps I used to date are

  Delete the plist file

  Installed software recently deleted (team Viewer)

  Thanks in advance

  On a hunch, you have ALL software installed antivirus or uTorrent?  If so, remove the two, reboot and re-evaluate the slowness.
