My finder app is in a continuous state of crashing

My finder app is in a continuous state of crashing and relaunching every 2 seconds or so, I can't open finder or time machine or my trash, as well as all of my desktop items are gone, I can still access the internet, but nothing online has helped me. If anybody has any solutions I would be extremely thankful. I'm using 10.6.8 . I have tried using terminal, or relaunching finder, nothing will work.

You may be able to start up in SafeBoot and then read the Log files in the system profiler area, to see what kinds of oddities may appear or if there is some kind of kernel panic, etc going on. And while there in a booted state with limited OS X sections off by default, you may be able to see such basics as if the computer's hard disk drive is getting full, or if Disk Utility gives you any error messages when you Check Disk, and while there, note free vs used capacities, status of RAM (including VM as it uses drive space as RAM.)
In the trouble and or crash logs, and basic running logs, Console is also a place to look, but there are very many; so this may be something to get into when or if someone who knows how to read the log file language sees your post and expresses a willingness to help decode them.
If you have a backup, you may have to see about using 'secure erase' from the booted installer DVD or if your computer has no optical drive but has a recovery partition, see about using that system's Utilities to access Disk Utility, and then choose the Erase selection. And that would wipe the drive, and overwrite zeros on the old data; failed sectors may be tagged and avoided, or repaired, in so doing the drive would be clearer. Unless the hard disk drive is failing.
There is a chance there may be something haywire, even corrupt/bad hard drive or bad RAM may act up, but Finder should not crash. There are related issues and ideas here, but in a later OS X version: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22273053#22273053
Did you upgrade from an older system than 10.6(.8) or did that computer ship with the version installed? Some people upgrade over an older system and that effectively can carry a problem forward without resolving it. {edited}
Good luck & happy computing!

I just upgraded to FF 4.0, and am overall unhappy with the app. It runs much slower than my previous version, and continually hangs...even on the Mozilla websites. I'm going to try and go back to my older version, which I loved.

As noted in my question, FF4.0 continually hangs (Not responding) even on your website.

How do i fix the message "The application Finder.app couldn't be opened. -10810"?

I accidentally quit finder.app on my MacBookPro SL 10.6 from the force quit menu as it hanged... now am having trouble relaunching it...

Launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the line of text below into the window, and press return. Then log out and log back in.
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain user
That's one line, not more than one.
Edit: Unfortunately, the forum software mangles the line by inserting a space in the word "Services." You'll have to copy it into a text editor first, remove the space, then run it in Terminal.

How can I fix my malfunctioning Finder app that is in a rebooting loop?

My Finder app continuously opens and closes and opens again and again. It doesn't affect the other apps. I also don't have any desktop icons or anything! Help please!

The app store on my brand new ipod touch offers me majority apps that cannot be used on my software. how do i find apps that will work with 6.1.5? this is frustrating, especially when purchased brand new.

My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Im looking for a phone finder app..like Life360

I don't think I'm using the app store correctly. I go to the blue round circle witht the A on it and try the search feature. I'm looking for a phone or devicing finding app. Ihave one on my Samsung called Life 360 and also put it on an Iphone but don't know why I can't find it on the Macbook.

Basically, press Home and the sleep button simultaneously. The screen blinks, you hear a click, and the screenshot's saved to the camera roll. There's some finesse involved in the button pressing, however. Some people claim you have to press and hold Home first, then tap the sleep button. Just be prepared to experiment. I'm on OS 3.0. Other OS versions may behave differently.

Cant find app store in my macbook

can't find app store in my macbook

i've got 10.6.8 and i still have no app store! It doesn't make any sense, i've tried everything! It's a 2.1 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM memory. Does that affect me having an app store?xxx

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?

Is there an easy way to find apps that will run on an ipod touch gen 2 with iOS 4.2.1?

My grandson's ipod touch gen 4 was stolen so I picked up a used ipod touch gen 2 only to find out I can't upgrade beyond 4.2.1 iOS, so I am trying to find apps that run on that iOS. Enter an unfriendly App Store for those of us not used to using it!
Can someone please tell me an easy way to find apps for him to run on this older system?
Thanks in advance!

I can't find app for iPad first generation! Why ?

I Had an iPad first generation and I can't find app under iOS 5.......why And sometime m'y IPad close alone.

Apple requirements now ask to make them for iOS 7 and above. iPad 1 has become outdated and there are barely, if any, apps available for this device.
If your iPad restarts on it's own, try restoring to factory settings.

Error when installing Lion on empy HD: "Couldn't find app store version, falling back to hardcoded"

I've run in to a problem that is making me tear the hair from my head. I'm hoping for your help!
Short story:
I'm trying to install OS X Lion on my 27" iMac.
I've erased the HD using Disc Tool in recovery.
HD shows no errors.
I've tried Internet Recovery (it loads up, but wont start the installation)
I've tried creating a recovery usb on another similar iMac, and use it on this. Same error, only differance is it keeps "loading" when installing, but nothing happens. Same error in log.
When I try to start the Reinstall I get an error in the installation log that goes something like this:
Install Mac OS X Lion[354:9c03] Couldn't find app store version, falling back to hardcoded
Can not connect to /var/run/systemkeychaincheck.socket: No such file or directory
Apple Care suggested:
Trying another network (doesn't work).
Install with the original Snow Leopard DVD first, then upgrade (can't do that, the DVD is lost and a DVD from another friend is not working)
What can I do to get around this error?
Someone suggested buying a usb with Snow Leopard from the apple store. Do I really have to buy a NEW operating system because the recovery doesn't work? Would I have to pay to upgrade to Lion again?

Follow AppleCare's instructions on re-installing Snow Leopard and re-installing Lion. Your friends disc won't work because the discs are machine specific. You will have to get a replacement set of your original Install Discs from AppleCare for a nominal cost.

I can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

It is possible that the app was removed from the App Store. If so you will not be able to get it back, unless you have it downloaded on your computer.
If you had downloaded it before and it is still in the store, you can go to the App Store app on your iPod and go to the Updates tab. Then you tap on "Purchased" and see if it is available to download from your previous purchases.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply.
Although the security of Windows XP SP3 32 bit is compromised by Microsoft no longer supporting XP, if Windows XP was restored as claimed, you should still be able to install/uninstall Premiere Elements versions of it that you did before the Microsoft support removal.
I think a revisit to the Geeks would be in order. It may be that they could not restore Windows XP because of the Microsoft non support. I would take along the Premiere Elements installation disks so that you do not leave there without actually seeing Premiere Elements (or a non Adobe program) running on your restored Windows XP. What was the other software that you tried to use that did not work?
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Best wishes
Thanks.
