I updated to Yosemite from Mavericks. Everything seems to be working normally, except Finder
. When I open a Finder
window it is empty. Even if I open the Applications
folder - it is empty.
The files on my desktop also look normal. When I open Pages and then go to open a file I can then navigate to i.e. my Documents
folder and I see all the files normally. Just when I use Finder
directly it does not display anything.
I created a folder on my desktop and placed a file in it. When I opened the folder I could not see its contents. Once I chmod 777
the folder using terminal - I was able to see everything.
Shared folders on the network however display files correctly. I am assuming something is wrong with the permissions of the user.
I tried rebooting with CMD
Alt
P
R
and also booted into the recovery partition and repaired the user permissions. I even deleted the Finder
preferences plist - no luck.
I tried googling, but I could not find similar situations - any ideas?
Thanks
