I have just upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.3.6 then downloaded the
10.3.8 updater. I am working on it to send this email which at least
tells me some things are ok. I have the dock showing so can use most
that was in my dock [address book wont work] and with 10.2.8 I was
using alias menu so once i bring up anything in the dock I get top
tool bar with the alias pull down menus and can open those
applications etc
BUT I have no finder and finder, the finder icon in dock does not
work and anything else that was on the desktop has vanished
too...........how can I get my finder back and desktop stuff without
having to do a clean install?
I did do a full backup yesterday just to be on the safe side but
wold rather not have to go down that track.
Try restarting the machine, I find that sometimes the finder just locks up.
Also, run Disk Utility and do a Repair Privileges.
Try booting with the shift key held down to disable any 3rd party
kernel extensions. If this works then you'll need to work out which
extensions to remove, as one's obviously causing some problems.
Good luck,
Shay
