Sounds like a failing drive.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
Has anyone installed iOS 7 yet? Or the new iTunes?
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.
OK, the download has completed, and it's installing now...
Oooh, pretty.
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.
