Hello to everyone.
Since I updated to Mavericks, my Finder gets crazy: For example, when I try to open the Applications folder, Finder gets a lot of time to load the list. Same problem when I try to connect to my Mac Mini Server: Every two minutes, it stucks.
What's the problem with my finder?
PD: Sorry for my por english, it's not my native language...
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Might be Finder preferences are corrupted ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, follow the instructions here > Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
similar problem: finder quits when I open it.
I don't have ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist in my library/prefrences folder.
I don't have google drive either, which seems to be most peoples' problem.
I tried the re-index thing, but it didn't seem to do anything
don't have ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist in my library/prefrences folder.
Yes you do. You're probably looking in the wrong Library folder. The one you want to be looking in is invisible by default:
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
I have Finder problems a while back (brought on my my trying some hacks) and the only solution was to boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down)
and reinstall the system.
Happy Holidays
Worked like a charm. Thank You!
