A few thoughts: -

Have you added additional memory? Is it third party rather than Akai? Can you replicate the problem with the memory removed?

Have you tried downloading a fresh copy of the OS and re-installing? If not, do so.

freeze/mute on move bug is fixed in 3.0
new folder bug is also fixed on 3.0

if you want to workaround it on what you have

don't move things. copy, paste, and delete the original.
create new folders before you work on your project, not after.

Well, if the memory has come loose in the slot, it could have a lot to do with it. It's worth opening the plate on the bottom and re-seating the memory stick (blow any dust out too), just in case.

3.0 is third party, currently available as a beta release for public testing.
