With what started with the latest El Capitan upgrade about ten days ago that went horribly wrong, I’m now plagued with the dreaded Finder (Application Not Responding) problem.
Safe boots, doing fsck -fy, removal of the finder plist, using disk utility (no problems), OnyX, dozens of times, which was for nought. Even tried the latest Disk Warrior and the latest TechTool Pro. They didn’t find any problems. I’ve also started up in Disk Recovery and used it’s Disk Utility. No problems found.
No problems were found on the external hard drives.
The latest EtreCheck found no problems.
I’ve done my best to turn Spotlight indexing.
I tried two new user accounts and the guest account, wasn’t impressed with the results, so I trashed the two new accounts and turned off the guest account.
I did use the sharing folder.
One problem I had with these accounts, was that I didn’t know how and what files to transfer from the old account to the new account.
What is the best way to transfer info from an existing users account to a new users account?
I’ve performed numerous searches, and have about ten answers so far.
The latest decent Time Machine backup (before the failed OS upgrade) was mistakenly botched by me.
I ended up reinstalling the latest OS by going recovery route, just after the failed upgrade. I don’t wish to do that again unless I really have to. Before going the Recovery route, I did copy the users folder to an external hard drive. It is actually more recent than the Time Machine copy was, because Time Machine had quit doing hourly backups. The latest backup was about a week old.
A footnote, Mail, Safari, and Text Edit, still work without hangups. Finder in the Dock presently shows Application Not Responding in grey, not black. But not listed as having a problem in either Force Quit Applications (showing) or Activity Monitor - All Processes (not showing).
So, I’m now ready to attempt again to add a new user, and successfully transfer the files from the old account, to the new account.
But this time I’d like to know before hand what files I should and shouldn’t transfer.
