My Finder Windows are frozen

• Get the fuzzy finder windows

  My Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5 2009 and my husband of 2011 MacBook Pro with the same OS developed blurred finder windows today.  These computers are not networked in some way.  Basically, the finder windows are unusable because of the truncated graphics, they show.  Someone recently had this problem or knows what to do?  I have reset the PRAM and that seemed to help, but only for an hour or two.  The last message I've seen this problem was 2 years ago in this forum.  (This person said to 1) reset the PRAM and NVRAM and 2) restart the computer in safe mode and then restart again.  (3) If this didn't help not told to start HD recovery and then fix the hard drive and the permissions, and then reinstall the 10.9.5 update.  And if none of this has helped 4) reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks, then reinstall the 10.9.5 update.  Apparently, the person said they tried all of these and they still had the problem.

  I think it's weird that what happens to two of our computers at the same time.  Could this be a hardware problem?  The Mac Pro has 24 GB of ram (18 that has recently been installed) and the Mac Book Pro has 8 ram or casual jobs.

  Thank you very much for your suggestions!

  No idea why this would happen and how to stop it?

  

  This is the preview window. If you click on a file, it shows you a preview of the file.

• There are different Finder window

  When I opened Finder on my iMac (version 5 k), I get a window that looks like this:

  

  However, I am able to access the original Finder window by right-clicking on Finder > new smart folder

  

  I'm running on OS X El Capitan 10.11.5.  I tried to restart the Finder via Terminal, no luck there.  It's frustrating, when I opened a folder, it opens one of these new windows in the Finder for each folder.  I end up having to close all when I'm done.  How can I fix it?

  In the menu bar, click Finder > Preferences > General. Under "New Finder windows show," what is saying?

• When searching from a finder window, why are there no visible file path bar? Is where you enter something in the search engine.

  When searching for a finder window why don't the path bar of file at the bottom of the window disappears. Y at - it anyway to stay visible.

  Of course, I would like to know where the file or folder is where spotlight shows its conclusions. Is there a preference I need to change to make the default action to be one in which the path to the file still appears at the bottom of the finder window?

  Sorry, I discovered my problem. I didn't have a file selected in the list. As soon as I made the path to the file appears. Duh!

• Status bar in the Finder Windows?

  I remember that there used a status bar (or the information bar or whatever) at the bottom of all the Finder Windows by default with information such as the number of files in the current folder, etc, but I do not see it in El Capitan. Is there a way to turn this back on? It was very useful.

  They are two distinct: display the status bar, see the path bar

  Thank you

• using projectors in a finder window does not always files

  I've recently updated to El Capitan. I can't using spotlight in a finder window to locate the files.

  Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

  Here's the situation:

  I assigns a number to each project that I'm working. The name of each file in the project begins with this number. For example project 3639 includes files named 3639.html, 3639 - 1.jpg, 3639 - 2.jpg and so on. They are located in different folders on the hard drive. To display a list of them all in one place I open a finder window, type 3639 in the spotlight box and voila - there is a list of all my project files.

  It works as usual for some files, but not others. Specifically the spot will not show me files whose names begin with 1 or 2 and are over 3 digits long. By example, if I search for 2344 I get NO RESULTS. But if I look for 234 and then I get a long list that includes the files starting with 2344. So I can scroll down and get the files I need, just ignoring all other files, but it adds the time and trouble to my file maintenance tasks, and it seems strange - why spotlight can find some files but not others.

  It took me all morning to get to this day. At first, I though that spot just didn't work at all. I searched 2344 and saw nothing, even though I know that the files are there. I can go to them in their respective folders, see them, then open them. But I can just no longer use spotlight to easily group and it makes me very frustrated!

  Since then, I have a clumsy work around maybe that's considered the issue is resolved. Unless someone has a cleaner solution.

  Try EasyFind, it's simple and much more effective research Spotlight IMO.

• The windows of the bar of Windows are already a form of tabs, so I need them in Firefox. How can I turn off completely from the 23 of Firefox?

  RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
  The windows bar already functions as a tab bar. These tabs are called "windows". So, I find windows superfluous Firefox tab. How can I turn off completely from the 23 of Firefox? I don't need to what are essentially the bars of TWO Windows covering the entire width of the image of my screen! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen, and if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position towards the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK at the windows of Firefox tabs bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a SECOND bar Windows superfluous.

  Here are my reasons why I prefer to use Mozilla's Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I love and admire Firefox intended to Mozilla on good security for Personas Firefox Add-on and for free use of Firefox in the Add on Ad-Block, which, as you know, has the merit of separate to reduce the size of the screen - the last is my reason for wanting to get rid of "windows" Firefox SUPERFLUOUS tabs bar. I'm terribly sick companies forcing bars (most representative of marketing campaigns, trying to sell me something) in my browser (and in my throat) whenever I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I have deliberately talking about your bar of Firefox tabs as a '' windows' tabs Firefox bar', because the TABS are WINDOWS!)

  You can also have an addon to open new tabs in a new window.

• Problem with the finder windows... Why what is happening

  It started today. I don't know how to solve this problem... it seems that the overtime, I opened a window of the scrollbar are right in the Middle, I can bring it back to the right but then when I re - open the same window, it goes back to this. Is this a problem?

  No, this isn't a problem, it's a preview for a Finder window pane:

  If you don't want to see it: Finder > Menu bar > View > preview hide, or use: shift - command - P

  

  NB. You can enable or disable the preview pane, to display the preview: Finder > Menu bar > display > show preview, or use: shift - command - P

• Impossible to disable the column "Preview" in the Finder Windows

  Before that I describe this problem, I just want to clarify that I have configured Finder to always open folders in a new window, and while some of my files are put into mode icon that the majority is set to display in the list.

  Following an upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan, some of my Finder list view windows began to show the column "Preview" on the side of the far right, after the date modified column. I don't like this feature because when none of the folders or items are selected it shows just a ugly "blank" space in the window. So, I quickly discovered that I can disable this "Preview" column by selecting "hide the Preview" in the view menu.

  The problem is that once I chose this, in many of my files change does not stick. After a reboot or a restart, I'll go back to the window and the preview column is again. Sometimes it happens immediately after closing the window and opening it again. The worst culprit is my user folder.

  I tried selecting "Hide Preview" and then enter the display options and set as the default view for all Finder Windows, but this makes no difference.

  Anyone know how to disable the overview at all times column in all the windows in the Finder?

  This is what it looks like in my folders set to display from the list:

  

• Some features of Windows are not available.

  I have an IdeaPad p580 and I noticed that a few basic functionality of windows are not available. I use Windows 7 Home premium SP1 and everything else is usually straight out of the box. I guess these are the basic features of windows because I learn about them in an intro to the class of Windows operating system.

  When I try to use secpol.msc in the start menu, windows cannot find it, and also when I try to encrypt a file or a file this option is grayed out. I think Veriface is the encrypt function creep, or another software that is preinstalled is to play with things.

  No idea as to what could be the cause? Is my book misleading me, I may get to such a different way?

  Hi Kholt,

  Some features are not available in Windows 7 Home premium...
