Mac OS X
Q: Finder and Safari Not responding
I just downloaded and installed Mac OS Sierra and now Finder and Safari are not responding. I force quit Safari and relaunch Finder but no different. All other apps seem to be operating normally.
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12)

Try each of these in order. Test to see if the computer is working properly:
- Reset the PRAM
- Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)
- Start the computer in Safe Mode, then restart normally. This is slower than a standard startup.

Choose Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the indented (usually, Macintosh HD) volume entry from the the side list. Click on the First Aid button in the toolbar. Wait for the Done button to appear. Quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu. Restart the computer from the Apple Menu.
