Hello everyone, after restarting my computer, the finder does not find files within folders.
This happens on the first access to the finder. The files are displayed only after a few seconds.
Here a video to explain the problem, for example in the download folder:

Yes, it does. I am connected via ethernet and it happens to me!
This could confirm that it is a DNS problem that occurs also when you use an Ethernet connection. Try google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
For me it was decisive.
Forget this silly DNS Tricks .. just use my fix. Done. Look at the other open threads for this problem.
It simply helps .. 🙂
... by disabling automounting of NFS Servers in the /etc/hosts. This stops waiting 25sec in your file open dialog. If you don't know what "automounting of NFS" is .. this fix is for you too and you don't need this functionality .. like most users (including me).
ok this works well, but I did not understand your explanation.
I understand a bit more about this below:
1. Open Terminal
2. Type: sudo nano /etc/auto_master (using nano instead of vi makes it a little more user friendly)
3. arrow down to the command: /net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid add a # to the front so it reads:
#/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
4. press control + X to exit
5. Press Y to save
6. press Enter
7. Close Terminal
8. Reboot
All is well.
I have no adverse effects. If you discover any just remove the "#" before the command.
Why auto_master file in Mountain Lion (that has the same code) and automounting of NFS Servers doesn't cause this delay?
This DNS setting change worked for me.
I used the 8.8.8.8 Google DNS setting and turned iPv6 setting "local only".
Finder is now functioning perfectly.
Thank you,
Dan
