  • The appliCATION PREVIEW CAN'T BE OPENED -10810

    When I try to "preview" a file, I am getting an error message that says "The Application 'Preview' can't be opened -10810
    How can I fix this?

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • MacBook Pro The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712

    Hello community,
    My MacBook Pro
    Processor 2.4 GHz
    Memory 4 GB
    Storage capacity 19.31 GB free out of 249.2 GB
    OS X.9.4
    The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712
    I have gone on line to look up possible fixes.
    1. I did: Go to Applications: Utilities: Disk Utility and ran: Verify Disk Permissions, Repair Disk Permissions. Both fine.
    2. I did: Finder: Go: Library: Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist and deleted that file. I tried to relaunch preview and it is still not working.

    Try deleting the com.apple.preview folder from the Containers folder in your /Home/Library.
    Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
    Pick one of the following methods:
    A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN.
    B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
    C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
    ~/Library
    Press the Go button.

  • Hi,  I cannot access Finder and get the following message. Can anybody help? The application Finder can't be opened -10810

    Hi,
    In the last couple of days I have found that I can't shut down. When trying to open Finder I get the following message... The application Finder can't be opened - 10810.
    Everything else seems to be OK. However I do have to sign in to Google Mail every time, where in the past it opened up automatically.  I am a really novice at fixing problems, so any help would be great.

    The application Finder can't be opened -10810
    "A number of people are having a problem where the Finder will hang or crash, followed by a Finder error message saying "The application Finder.app can't be opened. -10810." The general agreement among affected users seems to be that this is spurred mainly when accessing external drives, but there could be a few other related reasons."

  • Preview can't be opened -10810

    I'm running 10.9.2 on a MacBook Pro and suddenly I'm unable to launch Preview and I'm getting error code -10810.  I can run into a Genius bar but if anyone has some suggestions for solving the issue it would save me a trip and the genius an extra visitor.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

  • MBP Late 2007 Snow Leopard 10.6.8 finder randomly (but now always!) crashing current app still works, but can't change apps dialog: "application Finder can't be opened -10810". Any ideas?

    Keyboard won't  work after waking from sleep.  Finder not working.  When I hard restart, it works for a little while, but then the finder drops out on its own accord.  The current app will still function nearly normally, but can't change apps.  Can't quit any apps.  Force Quit shows no apps?
    All this has started in the last few days.  Fine (if a little slow, too long on beach balls, but nothing like the one minute rolls I'm reading about ...) up until then.  Only new update was last iTunes update! and I haven't opened iTunes?
    any ideas?

  • Application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for the suggestion - I've removed those anyway.
    However, it looks as if the problem was connected to memory pressure. Preview is now working fine, but it's because I've got rid of unnecessary applications.
    I had 16Gb of memory filled with applications, and I think that's why preview failed. It was mainly Safari tabs.

  • Error "The application Finder can't be opened -10810"

    Hi there,
    I do not know what's going on at the office this week but our MacBook Pro gives this error when you turn it on. I cannot open the Finder and when I try to restart get stuck and nothing happens, so I force it on the power button. Although I was able to open a folder on the desktop.
    I have tried this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4315534?start=0&tstart=0 but did not work.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    try: "/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder &" in Terminal to start the Finder manually.

  • Am getting code the application finder can't be opened-10810

    Can someone be so kind as to tell me what this means and how I might solve the problem. Thank you in advance

    Thank you so much. Fixed the problem.

  • The application finder can't be opened -10810

    how to fix "

    Try a restart in safe mode. If Finder works there, start again normally and see if it is fixed. If not, run Console.app and see if any helpful error messages are being posted.
    Have you added any 3-rd party software recently?

  • Application Finder can not be opened

    Last night I went to my Mac Pro running 10.6.8 and discovered all of the icons on my Desktop have disappeared. When I clicked the Finder in the Dashboard, I get "Application Finder can not be opened -10810". The menu bar at the top of the screen only appears when I have an application like Safari running. I have run Disk Utility and Repair permissions and they say everything is fine. Don't want to just flounder around.

    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
