The Finder is crashing when I move files between directories, from a CD or zip, to or from a server...basically any time I move a file the Finder crashes.

I am at a loss.

The Mac is a :
G3/266 Desktop w/a G4/466 OWC ZIFF
OSX 10.2.6
Radeon PCI
FW/USB card


To solve the problem, I have:
-booted from the OSX CD and run Disk Utillity
-removed the G4 and replaced the orig G3 (and reverted the jumpers)
-re-inserted the G4 and down clocked it to 466 from 500
-tried to work from different user accounts

None of it has helped.

I was assuming that the trouble was caused by the G4, but since it did exactly the same thing when I replaced the orig G3, I'm ruling that out. I have no clues and am at a loss. All other apps are running fine.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem with a 12" PB. I was copying files from a server, I grabed say 10 folders with 50 files in each folder and tried to copy, The OS would just hang there. It works fine one a a time. Ok not quite the same thing but close.

I wish this happened only on a server. I might be able to live with that. If I move anything, anywhere the Finder just quits and starts again.


I have no idea where to start looking for clues.

HMMMM!

I see you have repaired the perrmissions have you startedup in Single user mode and run /sbin/fsck -y continue til no errors are reported. Just a thought.

There are currently three users on the system. Can I still boot into single user? How?

Can I run fsck -y from my admin account?

[lenox]

I have the same problem at least once a day on my work computer. When opening or moving files in the finder, it crashes.

This is why I wait patiently for panther and it's new finder

[real]

reboot and holddown Command+s and that will take you to Single User Mode. Then " /sbin/fsck -y"

hope this helps.

Thanks, I go tinto single user and ran fsck ...still no luck.

Im out of ideas. Does anyone know how to make sense of the logs? There are plenty of Finder crash logs in System Profiler.

Go ahead and post one of the crash logs here. That could help us understand what is going on in your machine.

Repair permissions via Disk Utility.

Thanks fellas...sorry, Ive been away from the computer for a few days. But it is still doing it. I have repaired perms and cursed at the machine several time. Niether seems to fix the problem.

Anyways, here is the latest crash log. There are more, which I'll provide if requested. Thanks in advance for any help you can give with this.

Seriously, Does this log report tell anyone anything?

Its the only thing I have to on.

[Telusman]

I have the same problem with copying files from a file server, it even happens locally occasionally.

I'm not sure what the problem and no the crash logs don't tell me anything, but i have a nearly identical crash log in my logs. And it's only happened since upgrading to 10.2.6, this as well as the "Finder not running" bug in the dock when the finder is running (I disabled cleardock and APE and still have the same problem)

I'd downgrade but it's really not worth it since 10.2.7 and Panther are both impending.

[wadesworld]

One thing to check is removing any Firewire drives.

After flawless OS X operation since 10.0, suddenly, my Finder started giving me the spinning beachball of death, and even a panic or two.

Eventually, I tracked it down to my external Firewire drive. Once I replaced the enclosure with a new one, everything was fine. Thus, I suspect the Firewire controller in the old drive enclosure had gone bad.

hmmm..this Mac does have a FW PCI card. I wonder if thats doing anything. I'll pull it and see.
