Finder Ventura 'Estimating Time Remaining'.

Every time I try to copy a file, I get an 'Estimating Time Remaining' dialog that just hangs around forever. The other day, I tried to copy around 4GB of files... it took THIRTY-SIX HOURS. Now, I'm trying to copy a 67.1 MB app and it's been on 'Estimating Time Remaining' for over half an hour. This is utterly unacceptable. To think that this train wreck of an operating system used to be NeXTSTEP...(Ventura13.6.3).

Mac Studio, macOS 13.6

I would sign out of any and all sync software you are using and compare your results, this includes iCloud.


third-party sync software like: OneDrive, GoogleDrive, BackBlaze or DropBox



Uninstall any and all third party Antivirus, Cleaners, Optimizers, VPN, speeder uppers....

all known to cause issues on the macOS
