Hi,

I use an iMac (late 2010), 16GB RAM with OS X 10.9.2.

Lately sometimes all the desktop icons seem to duplicate themselves to my desktop, so that all icons are not only once but twice or even three times on my desktop. I can open the original ones only. After using the terminal... killAll Finder... everything is fine again. Any ideas what causes this problem?

And, when I move (from my HOME directory) on step up into the USER directory all personal entry (such as movie, pics, downloads, documents...) in the finders sidebar disappear, so that I have to drag them into the sidebar again. This problem is not being solved by killing the finder or login out and in again or restart.
