OS X 10.11.x: Finder freezes - right-click or selecting menubar

Hi!

I've been suffering with this for some time now, through several El Capitan updates.

If I'm silly enough to right-click on a file in Finder, or try to open the menubar then Finder will freeze. I have to force-quit but it doesn't recover. The only solution is to restart my Mac Pro.

I get temporary relief by trashing Finder's plist file and restarting:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.iLR6csZ (or some other random string)

But the problem invariably comes back - I've taken to using my MacBook Pro to create folders on my Mac Pro.

So there's something I'm running that's screwing with Finder I guess, but how to determine it? I see this popup in the console logs when I trigger the problem by right-clicking a file:

(I'll try disabling TechToolPro in case that's the cause ...)

Thanks,

Try disabling Tech Tool Pro for a start.

Try running this program and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read.

Thanks Eric.

When I checked, Tech Tool Pro was disabled but I guess I need to uninstall it fully to stop its daemon.

Here's the result of Etrecheck (neat tool, thanks). I see CCC in the list - I've tried removing CCC before but gave up as I just couldn't fully remove it.

I solved the problem ... by upgrading to macOS Sierra.

Apple didn't make it easy for me as they obsoleted my Early 2009 MacPro (4,1) and wouldn't allow the upgrade.

But cleverer people than me figured it out. I disabled SIP, installed the 2010 MacPro5,1 firmware, re-enabled SIP and then Sierra was quite happy to install.

A few more years of life out of my trusty MacPro - it's running quite fine, has plenty of disk space and plenty of memory so why would I want to get a new Mac? Might even try upgrading the CPUs to hex-cores now that I've got the 2010 firmware running.

Most importantly, I can now right-click in Finder and also use the menubar. So problem solved.
