Nice site...I'm new to this forum but an old dual platform user, hope I can help out but also hope someone can help me with this strange issue. System: 10.3.9 on Dual 1.25Ghz G4 1GB RAM Issue: I have a user that while logged into her Mac (Active Directory plugin with our corporate...

I keep having a problem where Finder freezes up during normal operations, whether it's moving a file from one location to another, renaming a file, emptying the trash, etc. It's very random as to when it happens. It refuses to relaunch and Mac OS X will not even shut down. It will try to shut...

My finder seems to crash everytime I try to rename a file. Finder just stops when I hit enter after renaming and all windows and icons disapear. All other programs keep running. After I find the file again (not renamed) and rename it again it crashes again, the third time it WILL rename the...

Has anyone had any problems after installing a DVR-109 and burning within finder? If I create a burn folder and drop stuff in there and click the burn button it tells me that i need to put in a blank cd but there is one in there. Everything else seems to work fine, itunes, toast, etc..

I have installed all of the Languages from the Tiger Installer, setup the Keyboard Viewer, and added all of the languages into the International List. I would like my Finder to be localized for Czech (Cestina) but I think there are supplimental files needed. I found the following on another...

I have a problem with the Finder in OS 10.3.9. If I launch the Finder after startup it automatically tries to connect to our server, hangs (spinning beachball) and needs relaunching. The only way around this is to launch another application like Photoshop and go to open a new document which then...

Im new to the forum... I want to add items to the Finder menu that appears when you option/click with a file selected. I want the menu item to copy the selected file to a specified server::directory. Just like "Move to Trash", only Copy to Directory A, Copy to Directory B etc... Book...

Sometimes Finder seems to use an awful lot of resources. Is there a way of finding out why? I'm using the Process Viewer so I know how much is being used but is there a better way so I can avoid this in the future? Using 10.2.8 on a dual 500 mhz G4 with 1024 mb of ram and 7200 rpm hard drives.

I have read the sticky in the how-to's about this, but just can't get it to work. I am the only user on this computer, so should have full permissions. I just want all finder windows to always display the column view.

Ive just been prepairing to burn a dvd with a very long name. When I pressed 'Burn', I noticed that in the alert box that came up, the line "This disc will be usable on any Mac or PC" was chopped off... I know its not major, but has this been fixed in later OS's? Ged3000

I have a problem on two identical Mac G5/Dual 2.5GHz machines. Everytime I click on an MPEG2 file (.m2v) in a Finder window that is set to 'column' view, the Finder crashes as it tries to load the Quicktime preview movie. It doesn't matter what MPEG2 file it is or what machine. Is this a...

I encountered a very bizarre situation on my dual 2.0 G5 Mac last night running OS X 10.4.1. While I was reading an email (from a trusted recipient...it was text only), all of my desktop icons disappeared and the Menu bar at the top of the screen kept disappearing and reappearing. In addition...

At the risk of testing the forbearance of those reading this who are more experienced with Mac, I noticed an odd problem with Finder, i.e., when I try to use the "Help" option, a blank window and the life saver icon appears for a split second, then vanishes. I seem to recall that the Finder Help...

Hey, I've been trying to find a quality ftp client so far the only one that's really worked for me is fetch. Is there any way of using finder as an ftp client? I remember doing this in redhat and on windows in their file browsers but I'm not sure how it's done in finder or if it can be done at...

Hello! Look at that: picture1 picture2 picture3 It´s my Finders newest trick after I got Tiger. I tend to talk absurd and surreal things myself, but having my Mac showing pictures with application icons, folders as harddisks, and network connections as vlc subtitle files, or...

When I shut down my Imac (now has 10.4.1), more often than not during the shutdown it goes to a blue screen with a message along the lines of: 'Finder has unexpectedly quit, you need to reset your computer'. This is a complete pain in the, erm, neck. What can I do about it/

When I start my iMac G5, The finder never loads and the multi-Colored loading icon displays. I do not have the task bar at the top of the screen either. Also the hard drive Icon does not display. If I do a force quit, then try to relaunch Finder a couple of times, I can get the apple logo, so I...

Greetings, My iBook is connected via an Ethernet hub to my good ol' 8500. I mounted one of its volumes (the 8500's) with "Connect to Server" as I always do. I double-clicked the disk icon, and noticed that it took a couple of seconds for the file icons to fill in. But some of them never...
