That's all there was in the log yesterday. I hate starting the day with a defective computer and having to wait a while for everything to start working normally again.Īnybody got any ideas how I can fix this?Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for your effort to help. After a while all the problems go away and all the icons on the desktop work again. Then go to the dock and open InDesign and Photoshop, and start using them (though sometimes at first their menus flicker and don't work). So now my daily routine is this: start up the Mac to find that nothing on the desktop will open. Strangely, after I open some programs from the dock and get them working, after a while all the other problems go away and everything works normally again. I can, however, open programs from the dock, but only from the dock. I have run Disk Warrior through all disks and it finds nothing wrong with them. Disk Utility finds nothing wrong, but the problems remain. I can open Disk Utility from the dock and run First Aid through the startup disk (or any of the other disks) but nothing gets fixed. If I double-click on the icon of a photoshop file, that same folder icon on the desktop flickers (always the same folder, full of Photoshop files), but nothing else happens.ĭouble-Clicking on any of the four hard drive icons on the desktop does nothing their windows don’t open.

The cursor flickers and sometimes disappears, then comes back. Nothing will open, not a file, not a folder. But double-clicking on any icon does nothing except make the icon of a folder on the other monitor flicker. On startup, the desktop appears with all icons present. I have two PCIe cards in the slots, one providing four USB3 ports, and one providing two FW400 ports. It’s a mid 2010 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 32 GB of memory, running El Capitan 10.11.6, with four large hard drives installed in the Mac (all bays full), and running two monitors.
