Intel Mac :: Finder Keeps Relaunching Over And Over Again?
Mar 18, 2012
I recently used a theming application on my iMac called theme park and it screwed up my Mac, when I log in my finder boots up then crashes then relaunches and continues this over and over again, I tried restarting, and logging into a different account and it just won't work, when I try to open up an application it crashes as finder relaunches and a pop up appears saying the application quit unexpectedl, when I right clicked on the finder icon on my dock it says all the options like open folder, then a second later it changes to application not responding. Btw I can't access the "about my mac" pane but I do know that it is an intel based iMac with the glossy white appearance not the aluminum model and I think it's the iMac6,1Â I don't have a time machine backup or restore diskÂ

On one of my iMacs, some apps automatically relaunch themselves after I've quit them (this is nothing to do with restarting). I quit again, they relaunch. Multiple times. Then after a while, sometimes the quitting takes, and they don't relaunch.

I am having some strange behavior on my Early 2009 iMac with OS X 10.6. It seems that since the recent updates from Apple for iMovie and Performance enhancements, iTunes is starting all by itself randomly. Last night in the middle of the night iTunes was playing songs. I do not have any widgets running for iTunes so I do not think Dashboard is the issue. I have restarted my Mac and it still was happening this morning.

My mail application does not open anymore. It appears on the dock, but neither opens, nor does it close. Also, can't get the Mac to shut down, as it says the app is still open. What can I do?I have OS X 10.6.8 Snow leopard.

In FINDER favorites can I reassign/edit the destination (properties) so that when I click e.g. on the "Pictures" link it takes me to my Pic folder on my external HDD instead of the default HDD in the iMac. I have twelve TB of data sitting on 2 Drobo devices and I do not intend to keep any data on the Internal 1TB HDD besides the programs. I know I can remove the current fav from the list and add a link myself but then I get an ordinary folder icon instead of the sexy camera icon. how can I change the icon on the folder.Â

My cursor was moving over the flash drive icon in Finder. I clicked on the icon. I think Finder believed I was trying to move the icon elsewhere. The icon vanished in a puff of smoke. Now I cannot see it on Finder.

So everytime I switch between a space, the same finder window is following me to every single screen. I'm not sure how to turn this off so every finder window stays on it's space seperately.

I have a desktop Intel machine. Due to an error, it is trying to copy thousands of .jpg files onto the desktop. It keeps grinding away and I can'tdo anything else. The cursor is not frozen, but if I try anything I get the spinning wheel. I've tried restarting. I need to interrupt this copying and get all the photos off the desktop.

As a new Mac user and as the result of my machinations in the iMac Lion OS, I managed to wind up with an extra PC showing in the Shared section of the Finder Sidebar. I show my wife's PC and Time Capsule but I have an extra PC named Gerry581e of which I have no idea. I would like to know how to delete it from the list.

Yesterday, (Mar 28,2012) Finder was listing my external drive but when I went to eject the drive, it no longer showed in Finder. I cannot eject the drive properly. It is showing on my Desktop. I've done a disk utility verfy disk and it is recognized and no problem was found. I tried a new USB cable and the old Fire Wire (which doesn't work??). I used a different USB port but nothing seems to work. I've also tried restarting. I am running a MacBook Pro with 10.6.8.

Here's an interesting one for all you intelegent people out there. Â
I have a 2011 iMac running Lion. I have a USB harddrive connected which stores digial versions of all my DVDs so that I can stream them to my AppleTV. Has no issues with it before now. A moment ago my Mac crashed and had to be restarted by holding down the button at the back (first time ever!!). When i turned the thing back on, the drive didn't mount so I went into disk utility and repaired the drive which resulted in it mounting. Â
Here lies the problem, I can access files on my drive in every other folder but the Movies on. See the below video. [URL]
have I lost my 660gb+ collection of movies?Â

I have an iMac9,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz with 8 Gb RAM. OSX Lion 10.7.3. Whenever I right click on a file in Finder and select "open with" the spinning wheel starts and may continue for 5 minutes, then stops and still doesn't open a drop down list of applications. During this time it's not possible to force quit or do anything else.
