M1 Finder and Indesign CC crashing

My Finder keeps freezing and is unresponsive. When I relaunch it takes forever and will have to shut down by pressing the power button as the whole mac mini freezes.

My indesign & photoshop CC keep crashing and corrupting my files. My M1 is only 3 weeks only. I had the late 2012 model and thought that was the problem.

Mac mini, 12.3

Finder constantly freezing on new iMac Apple M1 I have a brand new iMac with the Apple M1 Chip and plenty of memory (16 GB), yet Finder just keeps randomly freezing while performing the simplest tasks, like drag-and-dropping a file into Photoshop, saving a file or copying files. Sometimes it “unfreezes” by itself, but it takes anywhere between 10 seconds and 2 minutes. Sometimes it doesn’t. After relaunching Finder with Force Quit, it completely disappears from the doc and launchpad and can only be brought back by restarting the computer. Can this be fixed please? It’s costing a lot of time and is obviously very frustrating for such an expensive machine.

M1 MacBook Pro Freezing Hi, My M1 MacBook Pro freezes when moving files from one location to another. When I move a file from my Desktop to a folder in my Documents, finder freezes and loads but the file won't actually move. After a few tries the folder/file will move but that is with the freezing that comes with it. I have deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and restarted my mac but I still get the same issue. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

finder keeps crashing I have a new, as in less than a month old, mac mini. Finder keeps crashing for no apparent reason. Relaunch doesn't correct the issue. My only solution has been to completely shut down the computer and restart. This happens at least 3 to 4 times a day. It's extremely irritating especially with a brand new computer.

See this article for information on version compatibility. M1 Macs run on Apple Silicon and require compatible apps.
