Recover from the Finder's spinning beachball
My spinning beachball experience in Panther makes this how-to-recover discussion worthless. Whenever the Finder decides to freeze ( beats me why it does so often), there is no way relaunching it. On my machine, that is. Kill the Finder and it will nerver return untill reboot. Becauce of it frequency it was forced to kill Panther's Finder permanent, and backed out to Jaguar. Why is the Finder doing this to me.

I will point out that most of the time the spinning beach-ball problem can be rectified just by waiting. It doesn't necessarily mean the application is frozen, it just means it's stopped accepting events for several seconds. It could just be really busy.

and thats what I did, but in order to find what caused it I booted from a firewire carboncopy of Jaguar. (excelent pice of shareware). Now I can reproduce a non-responding-finder in Jaguar as well, where waiting for spinning ball is not going to workout. It is only an example; I experienced others. This is how I did. Booting into Jaguar; mount a volume using samba smb://x.x.x.x . A fresh Virex.dmg download from .mac is waiting to be mouted there. Mounting this .dmg will never happen. Killing Disk Copy will work, but you'll endup in a non-responsive-finder. Relaunch finder means killing it until reboot. Running apps will keep on going, but launching is impossible. |
