Sounds like a failing drive.

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

And that would affect reading network drives?

I will hit up the Disk Utility.

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.

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.

Rob--it fails in the former case too, and for the latter, that requires a trip to the Apple store, because I don't have any external drive to boot from. And it will be tedious for them, but hey. APPLE CARE.
