Hi, I am unable to type into the finder window since running a
software update. I had repaired permissions and done the update,
iTunes, iPhoto, Airport, Qtime, Security 2010 003, and now I can't
run finder from the keyboard.
I have a PowerBook G4 with remote keyboard, but before anyone
thinks it is the batteries, the keyboard on the PB isn't working
either.
I can't create a new folder by Shift/Command/N nothing happens, I
can move the mouse to File.New Folder and it it is created, If I
try to type into the box on the newly create folder nothing
happens. If I type into the search box in Finder nothing happens.
If I open up a Word doc and type every thing types, same if I type
into Safari, same with appleworks. This with both keyboards too.
Anyone have any ideas?
Hi Matt,
Your Keyboards are working, as you are able to type in
Applications , etc. BUT NOT in Finder.
Relaunch Finder via its Dock menu:
1. Press and hold the Option key.
2. Press the Finder icon in the Dock.
3. Choose Relaunch from the Finder’s Dock menu.
Finder relaunches.
4. Release the mouse button and the Option key.
Relaunch Finder via Force Quit:
1. Press the Command-Option-Escape keyboard shortcut.
The Force Quit window appears.
2. Select Finder.
3. Click Relaunch.
4. In the resulting confirmation sheet, click Relaunch.
Finder relaunches.
5. Close (Command-W) Force Quit.
If that doesn't solve your problem, you might need to:
Delete "com.apple.finder.plist"
Home > Library > Preferences "com.apple.finder.plist"
1.Home > Library > Preferences and drag "com.apple.finder.plist" to
the trash.
2.Empty the Trash
3.Relaunch Finder
Cheers,
Ronni
