I upgraded my powerbook to 10.4.3 last night and everything seemed ok. Well I just deleted a whole bunch of files on my desktop...moved them to the trash.

Well you know how sometimes all your icons disappear for a split second while they are relocated? Well..they blinked, and then kept blinking...and blinking. So I rebooted, and they are still blinking!


Wait...I just realized that its finder crashing over and over...WTF???
 
tried permissions, nothing. tried deleting finder prefs, same thing..crash log if anyone can help...I dont know osx this well.

This is really weird. Especially since finder was not updated in this update. You could try to reinstall the update. Another suggestion is to repair permissions from the Tiger Install Disk.
 
it seems this only affects my account...I logged into the guest account, and finder runs fine....made guest account admin, at least now I can try and fix it...any more help? I'm downloading 10.3.4 again...getting real close to just reinstalling. I tried repairing with the cd...

reinstalling 10.4.3 didnt help....

Oh, I thought you meant you installed OS X again. :p
Actually, not a bad idea. Try an archive and install of OS X. Then you can repatch you system with the latest updates. Worth a shot being that an Archive and Install souldn't loose any of your data.
 
This exact same thing happend to me last weekend. This was before the mac update. I archived and istalled tiger and it didnt fix the problem. then I did an update install and that didnt fix the problem. just keeps flashing over and over. i unsuccessfully tried to move some important files to an external before all was lost but the finder kept reloading which placed the files right back where i was trying to move them from. alas the only remedy was the clean install. It is interesting that you are having some results with a different account on the computer. perhaps its an issue with some apps? maybe we can compare what we were using?
 
Same here

I had this (finder crashing over and over) happen to my PowerBook 17" 1.0 Ghz shortly after doing the 10.4.3 update. Fresh install was the only fix I could find.

I will repeat, This happend to me before the update!! unless you havent updated in quite a while I wouldnt start blaming the update. One thing that is interesting is that I was also on a powerbook (titanium). anyone have this happen on a powermac?
 
its good to see im not the only one here! I dont blame the update...just that i have never had any issues whatsoever with macs of os x, and right after an update, i get this weird problem.

anyway. at least I have the new ipod to back everything up to...getting ready for a clean install.

We need to find something we all have in common...
 
things in common-

all on powerbooks
all in the past five days
all on tiger
all freaking out!

It is possible that it was the update seeing as that I believe I updated last week before the most current update. It may have been bundled with the current update if you guys hadn't run software check in a while.
 
delete finder plist?

Would deleting the finder's plist file (com.apple.finder.plist) help? Obviously, back up your files before trying something like this, but perhaps the finder's preferences have become corrupted.
 
That's very weird, especially since the Finder is version 10.4.2 not 10.4.3 for some reason. I would re-install the update. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE COMBO ONE THIS TIME. If not, you're gonna have to do an archive and install wth the original Tiger disk.

Oh, maybe try installing the combo update using Pacifist, see if that makes a difference.
 
Seems like a lot of folks with Powerbooks are having issues with 10.4.3

I wonder what Apple's gonna do. Looks like another early 10.3 filevault/firewire800-like debaucle.

Yeah, but it seems that vast majority of PB owners have had total success. I doubt Apple will do anything. Plus, it seems that most of the problems vary from machine to machine. I don't think there is anything that can be done when the problems are so machine specific.
