Can't open Finder after Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10

After the Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10 on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display i can't open the Finder and it says it's not reacting. The bar on top when i'm at the Desktop is also gone.
Can somebody help me ?

I had this exact same issue, and I was just able to fix it (at least for now). I'm not an expert by any means, so I can't tell you why my solution worked, but if you follow it and it helps, then great.
First, you'll have to restart your computer and open in Safe Mode. Restart the computer and as soon as you hear the startup noise, press and hold the Shift key. Release it when you see the Apple icon. It will take a little longer to start up.
Then download and install the free software called OnyX.
Once installed, open OnyX and click on the Verifying tab, then click on the Preferences tab. Run the Check button at the bottom. If it tells you that you have any damaged files, double click them on the list, one at a time, and then delete those files.
Then I clicked the Scripts tab, and Executed all three scripts.
Finally, under the Cleaning tab, I clicked on System and executed everything except "CUPS jobs".
I then restarted my computer like it suggested (without opening Safe Mode) and everything was back to normal!
Hope this helps.

I have seen comments from someone who indicated that every time they started Lightroom they were prompted for the serial number, even though they had already entered it. Is this your situation? I can't remember what the solution is, but I have seen that problem mentioned in the past.

Desktop is missing and can't open finder since upgrading to 10.9.5

Since upgrading to OS 10.9.5 my desktop is missing (no drives or files) and I can't open finder or empty trash. I can only access programs in the dock. I tried zapping the PRAM and it fixed it but the next time I restarted same problem.

You might have corrupt .plists.
Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plists to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Why can't I see my applications in finder after upgrading to Yosemite?

I upgraded to Yosemite and now my applications do not appear in finder. How do I fix this?

Well, first of all, Safari is located on the dock. That's how I got Safari open. Although I am a new user of Yosemite I've been using mac computers for over 7 years. So, I'm not a complete moron. Yosemite seems to be a bit inconsistent on my computers. In Finder on my mac desktop computer there is, on the left side, the heading "Devices", in which my mac and my macbook pro are listed. Here the macbook is called "Remote Disc". On the macbook the heading "Devices" is not present. Instead there is the heading "Shared". Here I can see the mac listed but, not the macbook. So, the hard drive for the macbook is not listed in Finder, on the macbook. On the macbook I did attempt to locate the applications folder under my user name, which is listed under Favorites. There I find a folder named Applications but, it appears to be empty. When I click on it nothing appears. I have discovered a work-around though. I can locate my Applications folder by clicking on the hard drive icon on the right side of the desk top of the macbook. So, since I have been able to locate the Applications folder there I have decided not to worry about trying to locate it in Finder. If I were still worried about it, would that be enough information for you? Is that precise enough? I was trying to keep it brief. I didn't want to write a novel.

Can't open project after upgrade

Hi
After upgrading from iMovie 9 to iMovie 11, i have a project that i can't open any more. When i choose it in the project library the preview window freezes and the "edit project" button fades out so that I can't open it.
Any one else got the same problem or know how to fix it.

Hi I have the same problem. Did you manage to find a solution?
Thanks

Can not get mail after upgrading to yosemite

I upgraded to yosemite and now get a message when i try to open my mail, that my mail is damaged?

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

Cannot open iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I am unable to open iPhoto. When I click on it a message appears saying 'this version of iPhoto is incompatible with Yosemite', and directs me to the App store to upgrade. I then get message saying that 'the product you are looking for is not available in the UK app store'. I live in Singapore but prefer to use the UK App store. Is it as simple as needing to change to a different country, if so which one? Or is there maybe a simpler way round this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't watch Netflix after upgrading to Yosemite

I have a MacBook Air, with 4gb, and 2.3 gHz. After I upgraded to Yosemite Netflix stopped working. It gives me an error saying that the "external monitor" is not HD compliant. Have anyone encountered this problem? Have you found a solution?
Thanks.

While I did not get your error message, I was also not able to view netflix after a Yosemite upgrade (mac mini late 2009). Deleting and reinstalling silverlight fixed it for me.
Good luck.

Xclock Error: Can't open display: - after upgrading to openSSH 5.2p1

I have got two servers apssvrX and apssvrZ on OEL. Both were built by the same team using their standard build scripts.
Having received the servers I had installed Oracle (ODI) product on it successfully.
Then as a part of requirement and as per Oracle support's advise, I had upgraded the ssh version on apssvrX server from OpenSSH_4.3p2 To OpenSSH_5.2p1, so that, I can implement the chroot jailing.
As per Oracle advise, I had downloaded the 3 RPMs from "_http://layer1.rack911.com/openssh/rhel5/x86_64/" to run them on my first server i.e., apssvrX and then configured the sshd services following the below steps:
a) Modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config to comment the below line:
#Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
b) Add below lines:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match Group sftponly
ChrootDirectory %h
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp
Then lastly, Restart sshd services complete the configuration
# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
apssvrX server current details are as below:
apssvrX$ uname -a
Linux apssvrX 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 08:45:05 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
apssvrX$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008
My problems started from this point onwards. I want to install another Oracle product using OUI, but when I try to execute xclock using the Exceed HummingBird tool on apssvrX server then it fails with the error - (xclock) Error: Can't open display:
I tried the DISPLAY variable setup as well but to no use.
Whereas I can successfully execute the xclock on apssvrZ and OUI as well. Its config details are as below:
apssvrZ$ uname -a
Linux apssvrZ 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 08:45:05 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
apssvrZ$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008
Please advise the way forward.

Tried but still same error.
Affected servers's sshd_config is as below:

Can't open iPhoto after upgrading computer

Hello!
I have an old iBook G4 that crashed a few weeks ago. I couldn't rebuild it so and got Mac OS X Leopard Version 10.5 and installed it. I transferred everything from my iMac (latest model) including photos. Then I got my old iLife '06 and installed iPhoto to the iBook (which was on there before it crashed). I did all the software updates and now have iPhoto 6.0.6 installed.
However, when I try to open iPhoto I get the following message:
"You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
I can see all my photos in finder under 'All Images'. When I click on a photo the path is
username - pictures - iPhoto Library - Originals - Year - Date - photo file name
However, when I go to finder and click username - Pictures and then iPhoto Library there is nothing there.
How do I get to open and import my photo library?
Thanks,
Julia

Julia
As the new iMac has a later version of iPhoto it sounds like the Library has been updated, and the old iPhoto 6 cannot open it.
Your choices are
1. Update iPhoto on the older machine
2. Rebuild the library for iPhoto 6. To do this try use iPhoto Library Manager.

TD

Can't open iWeb after upgrading to iLife 11 (Domain.sites2.)

I just upgraded my iLife package from 09' to 11' just a few days ago. Since then I haven't been able to open up iWeb (09'). I realize that the iLife 11 upgrade shouldn't have harmed iWeb 09', but it's the only change/add that I have done to my machine in the past week. Every time I try to launch iWeb either from the dock or from the domain file itself, I receive the following iWeb error:
Can't open file "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/iWeb/Domain.sites2."
Has anyone seen this problem?

Did you move the Domain.sites2 file to that location? ...It can be moved, but most peopIe leave it where it usually resides and would see an error msg saying:
"Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
You could try moving your Domain file to the above location and double-click it there. And remember to always backup all your Domain files before messing with them.
By the way, rather than posting a P.S. in your Public Profile:
"i've tried repairing permissions on the domain file with Batchmod as well."

Can't see NAS in Finder after upgrade to Yosemite

That's it - before, in Mavericks, my NAS always was visible on the left pane in Finder. Now, it's gone and I can't find a way to access it at all from my MacBook.

I have a Synology NAS, and have exactly the same problem.
At the moment, I have to use Finder's "Connect to Server" option and put in "smb://DiskStation".
Apple needs to fix this one! There is also a thread on this in the Synology Forums:
