Recent update to 10.6.8 and now Finder app wont open.  Error 10810

I cannot open finder after a recent update.  I get one error messages such as The application Finder can't be opened. - 10810.
On reboot I get nothing but "finder quit unexpectedly"
Can anyone help?  Im pretty much a novice and only recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and now Im pretty much dead in the water without the Finder app.

Followed the directions on the Snow Lepoard disc.  Then did updates to bring it up to the 10.6.8
Unfortunately I did not backup first.  I thought Time Machine could help but it wont open either. 
Not sure what to do now.  Should I try to re-install snow leopard?

    sorry but my computer wont let me reply

    Out of curiosity.
    You downloaded one new app and that fixed all the rest of your apps?
    Resetting your iPod Touch will not lose any data.
    Only restoring may cause you to loose data.

    Glad you got it fixed in the long run.

  • I recently updated to 10.8.2 and now my notes from my iPhone no longer appear in my mail nor do my calendar appointments. Is there any way to change it so they will appear?

    If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the  drive is toast.
    BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

  • I recently updated IOS 7.1.2 and now I can't view many images in websites?

    I recently updated IOS 7.1.2 and now I can't view many images in websites?  Does anyone know how to fix?
    Also a security password has appeared on my iPhone which is 4 didgets long that I don;t recall setting up.  This is blocking me updating IOS.  It is usually alpha numeric.

    Yeah that is what I thought, but the passcode used to be alpha numeric and just changed to being 4 didgets and I don;t recall making that change.  This is only to approve updates on my iPhone.  The other issue is on my mac pro.

  • Updated my computer to OSX Yosimite 10.10.2, and now my IPhoto wont open

    Updated my computer to OSX Yosimite 10.10.2, and now my IPhoto wont open. It said I needed to update to the newest version of IPhoto through the APP store, so I tried, but it has been stuck on 'INSTALLING' for hours. All of my mothers wedding photos, as well as the photos I need for school are in there! HELP!

    Until you Upgrade to iphoto 9.6 you will not be able to use iPhoto
    You can try canceling the upgrade and re-starting it

  • I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened

    Yesterday I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened, although the overall system stays up.  I updated to the latest Java and iTunes 11.1.2 at the same time. When I open Safari now, it pauses for a few seconds without going to the home page and then I get the spinning beach ball.  I get two messages:  One says that the plug-in for SplashID Safe has not been tested with this version of Safari (a message that I had been getting before the update and never caused a problem).  The other message says, "Crash Protection  It appears that Safari didn't quit properly.  Do you want Glims to re-open your tabs anyway?"  It gives me a choice to click "Cancel" or "OK".   I have tried clicking them (before the beach ball appears) and it makes no difference.  The version of Glims I am running is out-of-date. 
    The only available crash report is almost a month old and therefore is of no help. 
    I made a back-up with SuperDuper just before updating and can reverse the update if I do it soon, but I would like to get this working. 
    I would appreciate any advice.

    How do I uninstall Glims?

  • I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • HT1338 I'm running MacOS 10.7.5 with all updates and did an update last night for aperture and now aperture doesn't open.  What's Zup?

    I'm running MacOS 10.7.5 with all updates and did an update last night for aperture and now aperture doesn't open.  What's Zup?  Help!

    Also when I do the system update it's not giving me an update for the latest Snow Leopard. I never knew that was available until I started looking around this site and it seems that since I have the internal dual core I should be able to update to mountian lion...is this correct? Will someone please help me and walk me through this. I love my mac I want to have it running like it should be.

  • I updated itunes Jan 23, 2014 and now it will not open

    I updated itunes Jan 23, 2014 and now it will not open

    I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

    Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

  • Performed update to 3.6.6, and now it will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4

    I performed the update to 3.6.6, and now Firefox will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4. I hope I haven't lost all my bookmarks, etc.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after the update to 3.6.6

    Using your link, I downloaded the new version. When I dragged the Firefox icon into the applications folder, it asked if I wanted the new version to replace the existing one, and I said yes. I was then told that it couldn't be done because I had insufficient privileges for some items. Is the reason for this that I didn't trash the old version BEFORE dragging the new one into the applications folder (under the assumption that "replace" meant that the old version was trashed as the new one was installed)? If not, it appears that I am back to the same problem I've had before.
    Since I'll be replacing this computer soon, it seems too troublesome to bother with this update. I'd just like the update reminders to go away!

    1. Go to the “Preferences” folder (Win: C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
    2. Delete “Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs” should it be there
    3. Rename the “Preferences” folder to “PreferencesXY”
    4. Start LR5 – it should now start and create a new LR5 catalog
    Of course, the user may not want a new catalog ... in fact, most people don't want a new catalog ...

  • My Apple ID changed and now my apps wont update

    Recently my Apple ID was changed from chunkster92 to [email protected]  Now my apps wont update because they are looking for my original Apple ID of chunkster92.
    When I look at the info block on the apps they indicatre that they are linked to an Apple ID of chucnkster92.  Apple wont let you have tan ID thats not an email address anymore.  So when the apps are trying to update they are looking for my old account of chunkster92 and not the account name format as Apple wants now of [email protected]
    When I look at the apps page in iTunes and selct "all" apps at the top of the page, it indicates at the bottom of the page available.  When I try to update the apps the next screen says that there or no updates available.  I'm signed into iTunes as [email protected] and not chunkster92 which is the account the apps are looking for.
    Short of deleting all 230 apps (I know, I could reduce that number some) and reloading them, how do I change the apps to look for [email protected] or reestablish my old ID of chunkster92?
    many thanks,

  • Updated to 10.10.3 and now iPhoto won't open

    I upgraded the OS 10.10.3 and now iPhoto won't open. It says "the version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite.  Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store."  However, when I go to the Mac App Store, there is no iPhoto.
    I don't know what version of iPhoto I was running. I believe it was the most recent (9.6)
    I also noticed that the iPhoto icon has a circle with a line through it
    The support article says I can use iPhoto concurrently with the new photos

    I have the same issue: updated from OSX 10.10.2 to 10.10.3, which killed iPhoto.
    I have v.9.6, but apparently 9.6.1 is needed; I keep all my software updated, but never got an update notification.
    Any way, I get the same 'dead' icon as above:
    I can launch the program, but then I get:
    And when I go searching the App Store (Belgium), I get:
    Please, can anyone tell me how I can get a copy of iPhoto 9.6.1, which 'should' be compatible with my OSX (10.10.3).
    Before updating the OS (from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3) I did make a clone on an external HD. I have now booted from that external HD, but nowhere can I find iPhoto 9.6.1, so that I can update.
