It would be pretty painful to recreate all the 3rd party s'ware on this machine. Note that other kernel extensions though present are not loaded.ġ0.7.5 does not help - Finder still slow, cranky, choppy-scrolling, and generally painful to use. I'm guessing that Avast might be a candidate for troublemaker, if the new "Gatekeeper" feature does similar vetting of files and apps. Thank you for alerting me to the existence of EtreCheck, an elegant and useful tool. What a feature to break! Where were the beta testers, off skiing? So far it appears to be just Finder that is hooped. Other apps are responding at fairly normal speeds, even monsters like Aperture. Scrolling is smooth and frisky in all other apps. Rm ~/Library/Preferences/&killall FinderĪnd it seemed to provide temporary relief, but Finder swiftly got all, er, constipated again. I have just DL'd the 10.7.5 patch kit and am praying that it will fix this, because the machine is almost unusable with such a broken Finder. I mean, it's crippled! *** Apple? Broken the most essential app on the machine, much? half the time you click on where you think a file is, and the delayed scroll moves the list before the click registers, and you get some other file. Renaming a file is a matter of clicking and waaaaaiting and clicking and wondering what's going on and waaiting some more and. Finder won't even take focus when clicked on, w/o a delay of several seconds! Finder now and then shows a beachball busy icon for no apparent reason. Scrolling in Finder is incredibly choppy and delayed, so that it's almost impossible to navigate a file list. V-scrolling behaviour has been reversed which is a bit crazy making but more consistent with tablets (I guess that was the point).īUT - what the heck have they done to Finder? Finder is now damnear useless. The upgrade went OK, modulo a download time from **** - 24 hrs plus - for the dmg.Īfter upgrade things seemed more or less OK - browsers still work, apps seem normal. My MacBook Pro is now kind of disabled, just because I wanted to play a cool game. Steam finally pulled the plug on 10.6.8 support, and to get my Portal 2 fix I had to upgrade. OK, so I was finally forced, kicking and screaming, to upgrade from nice, stable, well-behaved 10.6.8.
