In Mavericks when I enter Time Machine, the interface disregards the folder I have open and in front in the Finder and always goes to my Home folder instead. It use to always start in the front most Finder window. Anyone know how to fix this?
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
Back up all data.
Open the Library folder in your home folder by holding down the option key and selecting
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, move the following folder to the Trash, then relaunch the Finder and empty the Trash
Caches/com.apple.finder
Test. If there's no improvement, move this file to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, put each file you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place, and log out again. Otherwise, delete the files you moved.
Neither fix helped. Not a critical problem, just annoying.
Any other ideas?
By the way, I only moved the preference you listed, but noticed two more similar named preferences:
com.apple.finder.plist.kS13zCg
com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile
Also, I noticed that the "Caches/com.apple.finder" did not regenerate itself after reboot, so I put it back myself.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) updated from regular Lion.
I have the exact same issue, and it is very annoying! Tried what suggested above, no difference. Any more suggestions? Are we the only ones experiencing this issue?
Problem solved with upgrading to Yosemite... despite now I have to deal with a lot more of issues with this last version of the OS! Quite disappointed...
Just updated to El Capitain, and the problem is back again!!! Any ideas???
