A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I just built a Windows 7 64bit desktop with an SSD. It was easy-peasy. I got this Samsung model, which did NOT come with a bracket, but the case I bought had a special spot for a single SSD drive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Newegg! Why am I not shopping from them??? There's no point shopping in meatspace since I can't carry shit, so they're a great place to start.

Is there anywhere in particular I should start if OS X starts refusing to show folder contents? Doesn't matter if it's local or network, Finder or Path Finder. It just spinning balls. I can usually cancel out, and I think rebooting makes it okay for a bit.

eta: Finder won't relaunch either. It disappears from the application running list and won't come back.

Sounds like a failing drive.

And that would affect reading network drives?

I will hit up the Disk Utility.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I repaired both disk and permissions and it' still happening after about 20 minutes--whether I'm trying to browse locally, or if that window would have opened directly to any network share, it freezes. I can browse a couple folders deep from my root of my local disk, but that's all. After a while.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A couple of things to try to diagnose your Finder problem:

  • Create a new account on the machine and see if it happens when logged into that account.

  • Boot off an external drive and see if it happens then.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Has anyone installed iOS 7 yet? Or the new iTunes?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes. I am running Ios 7 now on the iphone Some tech people have complained about ios 7 on the ipad, so I have not updated yet.

I haven't had time to really play with it yet, but I like the UI quite a bit.
