Problem with the Finder

There were problems with my finder for a few months now. Whenever I click on the finder, it will take about 3 minutes to load, and then I'll be able to use it. This applies when I try to open any folder as well. The time-out period is really long. I restarted the finder many times and I've updated my IMAC as well. Can someone help with this situation?

Thank you!

  • problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

    After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

    This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

    Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

    I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

    Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

    Hi there highland99,

    Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

  • Problems with the Finder

    Hello. I have for the last two days with Finder experienced problems.

    When I open a window, it only works for a short period, as with a few clicks. Then it freezes. The Finder window becomes white, black, or nothing happens when I click on the files. I can't go between catalogues or whatever it is.

    The strange thing is that in the bottom bar (where you see the path), it shows that I'm actually moving upwards and downwards in the catalogues, but whether the files don't show at all, or the window froze its last image. However, if I click in the frozen window, files are selected in a way. I can't preview them with the space bar, but if I double click, files open (without knowing me what files, since I don't see any files marked in the window...)

    The only thing that helps is relaunching the Finder via Terminal (killall Finder). I tried to restart the computer, stop him and crossed the system with OnyX. Nothing helps.

  • I'm having a problem with the Finder

    I have a Mac Pro model 1, 1: Mac OS x 10•7•5

    Right now?

    The viewfinder blinks sometimes off: then light up again, after a few moments

    Reopen all the Finder Windows, as usual, the hard drive icons appear on the desktop

    Have no idea what is happening?

    How much disk space you have, and what is the size of the hard drive?

    Are you a data backup with Time Machine, you work?

    There are background tasks that passes?

    Can you copy/paste your log Etrecheck we can look (you can download Etrecheck and install it to get a read of what is on your system)?

    Your data is backed up?

  • 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

  • Hello! Someone has some problem with the haptic on Macbook 12 "2016 function? It does not work on my Mackbook.

    I'm trying to figure if someone has my problem with the haptic on Macbook 12 "2016 function. The option is checked in the preferences system, but it does not work.

    Thank you

    Hello luigi10m,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Support from Apple. From your post, it looks like your haptic feedback does not work when you click using your trackpad and the setting is enabled. I know that this is a great feature and it is important to make it work. I'll be happy to help you.

    First of all, I would like to assure you that in system preferences > Trackpad > clicking silencer is not checked, that might help. In addition, it would be useful to reset the settings of the SCM. You can find instructions here: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    I'll also include those for you here:

    1. Stop the Mac.
    2. Plug the MagSafe or USB - C adapter to a power source and to your Mac.
    3. Use the built-in keyboard, press shift-control-Option on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button at the same time.
    4. All the keys to unlock, then press the power button to turn on your Mac

    Take care!

    Hello.
    I have a problem with the content of spam. Somewhere in the Fox appeared script that's choking me audio spam. Every 30 minutes he's playing an audio clip that is malicious. I can't find the settings as it eliminated. Now, I don't have any plug-ins and Add-ons strange that were not initially in the Fox, but the problem is there.
    I use the Fox years. The problem, he had 1.5 months after Fox cleaning. If the problem can't win, I'll be forced to give up the browser, and I wouldn't.

    Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

    If the problem persists in Mode without failure, could reinstall you Firefox in this way:

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.0.5 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    Hi a.a,.

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! I'm sorry to hear that you experience these symptoms with your new iPhone 6 s. I'm a bit ambiguous on your specific configuration or what you see, but you can check that the phone is not locked on the original support (if the phone was sold to any kind of discounts or subsidized rate, it is most likely locked carrier). You can find the information described in the following article useful:

    How to unlock your iPhone for use with another carrier - Apple Support

    You may also be aware that different iPhone models are sold in different regions and countries and can support only specific carriers in these regions, as shown here:

  • Problem with the volume on Satellite Z30 control - A

    Hello

    I have a problem with the analog output sound on my A - Z30 (internal and line/headphone speakers). If for example I play music I see a clearly weak signal volume on the fader control of volume in my Win 8.1 source volume control. But on the master fader, I get a completely saturated and distorted signal. Even down to the time source and output does not help... it just sounds horrible.

    See: link: [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30325547/SoundProblem.jpg] (sorry, it's a German system)

    Here we can see that the (extreme right) music player delivers a signal of low volume, while the master fader (left) receives a 100% volume distorted signal.

    If I use external speakers that connect via USB (Logitech Z305) it works perfectly.

    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the drivers for my sound card. But this problem is very persistent. It seems that something pulls the signal up, but I can't find any control that turns off.

    I'm not completely sure when that started, but it can be connected with the beginning of the use of a USB headset. But I already uninstalled this software once again, but that did not help as well.

    Any idea?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop and drivers available on the Toshiba driver page, this laptop supports the Realtek sound card.
    That's why the Realtek HD audio Manager software should be available in the control panel.

    Realtek HD audio Manager provides different parameters as well as the speaker of the configuration options to get the best sound performance.

    In addition, computers laptop Toshiba are preinstalled with a sound tool DTS/Soft
    This software provides audio improvements in your computer.

    To be honest, I not quite sure what which could affect your sound volume, but the mentioned tools and configuration should be checked permanently m.

  • Problem with the software Modem on Satellite Pro L40

    I tried to set up a connection Dial-Up Networking on a Satellite Pro L40 running Vista and can't get the modem to talk to the modem from the ISP. The connection appears OK and then you can hear the modem dial, but when the ISP picks up there is a bit of yelling and then my modem abandons the connection and I get the standard vista connection failed box.

    Things I've tried:
    -latest drivers for the 2.1.77.0 modem (and the rest of the system) downloaded from Toshiba and installed OK
    -all the updates of windows installed
    -removal of the modem in the Manager of peripherals and re - install
    -suppression of the agrsmdel.exe and then re-install
    -try different cables to plug into the phone jack
    -several different ISPS and phone numbers
    -reduce the maximum speed of the connection
    -connection to the same ISP with my Satellite L10; works very well never have time!
    -using the windows to diagnose and repair the tool (set last resort!); says that the modem works fine and can not find a problem with the connection

    Is it possible that the update of the BIOS on the laptop would make a difference (currently v 1.60)? I did some research on Google and found messages on various forums, which suggests that the connection between the motherboard and the modem chip is a little doubtful for all the Agere Soft Modem; If the case is it something I can fix myself or I should go for warranty repair?

    Hello

    I'm sure that there is no problem with your modem, but with the configuration or even s ISP modem. I recommend you to speak with the support of the ISP.

    Hello, I have a problem with the resolution of games, I just that:
    800 x 600 and 1024 x 768

    I hope someone can help me find a solution
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I put t know what games you want to play, but generally speaking, it of also depending on the game you can use screen resolutions. For example if your game supports only 2 screen resolutions, you can only use these resolutions.

    So all you can do is update the driver DirectX and display. Then, look for an update (patch) for the game.

    Good luck! :)
