Cant open Folder

Today I was moving applications and other files from a portable hard drive onto my new mac. I was moving a large group of files (75 gigs) when finder suddenly quit half way through and went into a loop between a gray screen and my desktop. I tried to open the Application folder (the folder I was moving the files to) but finder crashes every time I open it. I have restarted the computer and tried to repair the disk permissions (advice from another forum) but no luck. I am in desperate need of help!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Did you ever verify the primary email address associated with her iCloud ID? Apple should have sent a verification email like the one below to the email address that was used to set up the iCloud account. You need to click the Verify Now link in the email to verify the address.
Make sure you are check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

When I try to open the Iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update but when I click on the software update tab, it says that all updates are up to date. I still cant open the Iphoto, what should I do?

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

When downloading, why do I get a message saying "Safari cant open file because the file has moved since it was downloaded?" I just attempted to download the file from a website. Thanks.

When downloading from a website, I get a message that says, "Safari cant open th file--- because the file has been moved since you downloaded it. How do I correct this problem. It wont let me open attachments from yahoo email either. Thanks.

EDIT:
After posting I see this question has the tag of "windows". I don't know if this applies to the Windows version or not.
The only time I see this message is if I download something, trash it, AND empty the trash. If I don't empty the trash, it finds it there. It will find it wherever I move it to, unless it is was in the trash and emptied.
Using Finder, is the downloaded file in your Downloads folder?
Maybe if you go to Safari/Preferences/General and change the location for downloads to something else then change it back to Downloads it might correct it.

IPhone crashed during iOS5 update. iTunes crashed and cant open or uninstall. Please help

iPhone 4 crashed and dumped everything while trying to update to iOS5. Now iTunes won't open so I tried to run Apple Software Update... gets half way through the install and then i get an error... cant find fold containing the installation package 'AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi'.
I'm at a loss and need help getting iTunes back up and running so I can restore my iPhone.
Regards,

I am too trying to update my phone. i wish i hadnt now as its more hassle than its worth!
I have been trying for 2 hours and on hold to Apple to try and get my iPhone 4 to restore. I did back up before I installed it but whether it picks that one up is another question.
I have had the same problem before when i got a replacement phone from Apple and it took an hour or so to work.
I wish it would get sorted out as im an angry customer that is losing her patience fast!

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

TS1389 i cant open my itunes account it keeps giving me an error

I keep getting an error message stating reinstall or something is missing and cant open it up????

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.

Cant add folder to library

I just reset my computer and re installed itunes 11 and I cant add folder to library but can add files but have 5k songs and that will be a PAIN, and I looked on google and apple for 3hrs now and still cant find a solution. I been having a ipod and itunes for about 6 years now and never had a problem like this.

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open. Other familiar features have been hidden but can be revealed...
You can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
Use Edit > Preferences > Show list views for all media to do just that
From iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views

Cant Open/Install since newest update

Hello,
This is my first post here because i have never had issues with itunes/ipod before. here is my issue-
Ever since the most recent update, when i would click my icon for itunes on my desktop it would say.
"this action is only valid for products that are currently installed" even though i just watched the installation finish. so i just would then try to install itunes again, so i redownloaded the installation file from apple.com, the file openes fine, starts installing, but during the installation, pretty sure its in the part where it says it is removing the old version of itunes, it says "the feature u are trying to use is on a network resoruce that is unavailable, click OK, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package itunes.msi" ive searched for this file and i do not have it on my computer, this just started with the newest update, i cant open itunes at all now, so i ask for some help here, thank you!

okay, let's first try the technique from the following post:
b noir: Re: itunes 7.01 doesn't start up

TS1717 how does one fix when message says: "you cant open iTunes because it is either damaged or incomplete"

When trying to launch iTunes, I am getting the message "You cant open application iTunes because it may be damaged or incomplete". Has anyone experienced this before and how did you fix it? I have been using Time Machine, and tried to restore my iTunes, but that does not seem to help.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Cant open Hyperlinks on my computer, how do I fix?

Cant open Hyperlinks on my computer, how do I fix? OS X version 10.9.5. Terryfrombinghamton

Hi Terry ..
Might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

I cant open my trash

Whatever I do, I cant open my trash. Ive tried relaunching finder, and "killall dock" and "killall finder" in terminal. Nothing works. ans when i look up trash in spotlight I get a error. I dont really get how terminal works either.....

Move com.apple.finder.plist in your user/Home Folder Library/Preferences to the Desktop, then try again. To get to that folder, enter ~/Library/Preferences in Go to Folder. You will have to redo your finder settings.
If that doesn't work:
In Terminal, COPY/PASTE ONLY. A mistake in the spaces in this command can be a disaster.
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
Hit return, then at the prompt enter your admin password, which you won't see anywhere when you type it in. Hit return again. Keep going after getting the warning about using sudo.
When you get a new $ sign prompt, just close the window. Then log out and back in again.

I cant open attachments in email

I am running windows 7 professional, and up until 2 days ago everything was fine. Now when i get an email with an attachment i cant open it I get a pop up
File conversion select the encoding that makes your document readable. i dont know what to do, the widows box is checked and western european widows but it is just a bunch of words in the preview box, UGH, I ran an update on adobe to X and rebooted but same thing on all attachments in email the attachment is pdf

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
