finder

I have an iMac 700 mhz running Panther 10.3.9. In the past I've used the CD burner app to burn music and data (mostly .psd) files. It's worked fine for past 8 to 9 months. Now, when I try to burn a blank CDR or CD-RW, I get the dialogue box that asks if you want to burn in the Finder or...

This is how it happened... 1. I had a 150GB HDD with OS 10.3.9 installed and used nearly a year. 2. My system in the 150GB HDD became unstable, so I bought a new 250 HDD. 3. I installed OS 10.3 to the 250GB HDD (updated to 10.3.9 soon after). 4. Then icons for "Finder" and "Trash"...

I'm really having difficulty because I was downloading an email attachment and next thing I know, my finder and the bar are flashing and all of a sudden my desktop items disappear. All other programs work fine except that they are constantly interrupted by the constantly reloading finder...

I am having problems with my iBook. When I start my computer, the dock appears but the stuff on the desktop and the white bar on top do not appear. When I click on the items on the dock it bounces like it is going to open but then stops after a few bounces. I went to the tech place on campus and...

This has been happening for a while and not just on one computer. I have 4 Macs on a network and they will usually show up in the Network "folder", but a lot of times when I try to connect to it, the Finder will say "Connection failed. The computer may not exist or may not be operational at...

G4 Quicksilver OS X 10.4.3 Very slow (about 8 minutes!!) to start computer. Beachball goes round and round. When shutting down computer now get message: Logout has timed out because the application MirrorAgent failed to quit. Have run Disk Utilities Repair Permissions, etc. Have...

Just had an interesting Finder crash and one thing I noticed and subsequently verified with the About Box on this and other machines is that Finder is still at 10.4.2 on the 10.4.3 update. Seems odd, particularly after the Spotlight related crash that I'd had right after upgrading. Any...

I was recently running a series of processes with video running from another machine which I had opened via firewire in my G5. The other machine attempted to show the annoying "preview" quicktime panel in the column view when I accidentally clicked on a video segment. This froze my finder. I...

Greetings. My PB (10.4.2) is the only Mac in a Windows network. I have some strange connectivity problem with the Windows 2003 server. I am able to connect to few shared folders of the server by selecting them from the 'Recent Items' menu option. However, when I am trying to connect to the...

Hello, Is there a way to launch Finder using just the keyboard? Or does one have to explicitly set a key mapping (if so, how does one do this)? Many, many, thanks!

When I'm previewing a movie in the preview column in the Finder, I can drag the column to make it wider thereby enlarging the movie frame. But I can't seem to do this when viewing a picture. Its just too small. If I could make it a little bigger I could better judge it quickly to ensure...

Hi there. I have recently been having a few problems with my eMac, and the problem that I face at the moment is that when I reboot my computer, no matter how many times, it has a different effect. 1- it gives me a grey box message that tells me i have to restart my computer... 2- it...

Some of my directories crashes as soon as i open them this only occurs when i show them i list view looking at them as columns works just fine any tips? Ive already tried to set the permissions with the disc utility

I have been having trouble with finder and ftp support for a while now and it is starting to get very annoying. If I type into the address bar of Safari the address of my local ftp server (ftp://192.168.0.5) I will start connecting and 1/5 times it will connect (after a long wait) other times it...

If I copy a folder to my mac from another machine, or if I create files in it via the command-line, the Finder won't show the files in the window. I can close it, open again, get info on it, etc. and the files still won't show. I did figure out yesterday that I can drop another file into it...

I have a few finder issues which have been bugging me and for which I can't find a solution. There are as follows: I can't rename folders (folders I created) which I currently have on the capture drive. I've partitioned my drives. Something related to the above is that anytime I want to...

It started with just a few random applications quitting on their own, then I get the "submit a report" screen. When I went to restart my finder would launch after boot up then quit, then launch and quit. I tried to safe boot but with the same results. Now when I start up I get the grey...
