mogilner Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I have just started using Retrospect 8 Desktop. It seems everytime that I use it, it crashes the finder where all my icons disappear off of my desktop. I need to recycle the finder and it is fine. Any tricks to prevent this?

Mayoff Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I don't know what "recycle the finder" means. Retrospect itself can not "crash" the finder. What do you see in the OS X Console? What errors are reported? What type of Macintosh? How much RAM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogilner Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 The last two nights I have ran Retrospect 8 from a MacBook Pro with 10.5.7 connected to ONE Windows Vista Client. When I start I have approx. 20 icons on my desktop including 1 external hard disk. When I look after the backup are gone; the icons are gone. In order to get them back I must go under the Apple Menu to the Force Quit window and "RELAUNCH" the Finder. After that, the icons do return to the desktop. Please let me know what I should be looking for from the Console so that I can provided you with info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Look in the Console application under: LOG FILES ...~/Library/Logs ...... Crash Reporter .........Finder_2009_07_29_110705_mogilner.crash or something similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
