G+_Fredrik Marklund Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Fix is to wipe Finders prefs: Reboot into safe mode Open Terminal: cd ~/Library/Preferences rm -rf com.apple.finder.plist com.apple.sidebarlists.plist Reboot as normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Allan Palmer Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Great tip. Just started happening to me. Also when running two full screen apps mavericks keeps spontaneously switching to screen 1. Related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fredrik Marklund Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Allan Palmer could be related. Try to disable Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jay Ratkowski Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 When Finder is crashing - does it actually give you an error message? I keep seeing my desktop icons disappear/reappear like when you restart Finder. Wondering if it's the same bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
