Q: Finder totally UNRESPONSIVE.
Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro, early 2013, OS 10.9.5. Finder was working fine. Suddenly every time I launched it, Finder froze. I tried restarting multiple times, running rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist && killall Finder in the Terminal,
But nothing works. Finder does not even open.
Pls help!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

If it works as expected in Safe Mode, then log back in to your normal user account and go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items, and delete any third party login items. (use the minus sign, do not just hide them) You can aways add them back later)then test. Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours. Then log out and back in or restart and test. Also, go to ~/Library > Caches and drag the Cache folder to your desktop and test.
Let us know. We can go further if needed.
