I can't open my Finder in Mavericks, and when I try to, my account is logging out, what can I do?
when I try the force quit, it logs out too.
I think I can't do a clean install, because the time machine doesn't work, and I don't have a recent backup.
Help me please!
Thanks
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Before you do anything BACKUP your machine, not having a valid backup is careless and plain poor computing.
Because you haven't said what troubleshooting you have tried it's difficult to tell you where to start. Please do that and also advise what iMac you have, the amount of RAM installed, the amount of available HD space etc..
Well, that's the problem, I tried to make a back-up (I did try for more then 10 times) and it got stuck after a few MB, again and again
.
I didn't do anything yet, because I can't make a back-up.
I have an iMac 27 inch from mid 2011, RAM 12GB, HDD 1TB, 2.7 GHz intel core i5.
The mac was upgraded from 10.7 to 10.9, when the upgrade was available.
The first thing I'd recommend you do is open Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions on your internal HD and also the EHD you intend to use a the TM backup. Report back with the results, however before running please carefully look over:
Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore located at:
and that's the only one I can repair (HDD)
I can Verify and Repair the disk (EHD), but not the permissions...

and for the back-up (on the timecapsule and this EHD) I constantly get those error messages (my last back-up on the TimeCapsule is from 4 days ago, I think, but I added some important files since then...)
