Dock open a folder (OSStatus-failure-35)
Hi,
if I want to open a folder in the Dock, for example you click in folder Download a subfolder or the arrow (Open in Finder).
I get the failure:
_In the Console_
06.06.09 09:35:39 Dock[138] Could not create a directory for <DOCKFolderTile: 0x81c600> error = Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-35 "The process could not be completed. (OSStatus-failure -35.)" (no such volume)
_Error message:_
The program could not be opened
- 35
Thanks for your help
Hello j:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I have never seen that particular error (not helpful to you).
Try trashing a couple of preference files (com.apple.dock.plist & com.apple.dock.db) and restarting.

Opening a folder with an application in one click, and automating Terminal
A forum member kindly recommended I move a question from 'Mac OS X Leopard' to this sub-forum as it was more appropriate to Unix:
Firstly, is it possible to create a desktop/dock icon (or perhaps a Safari or FireFox bookmark) that opens a folder with a certain application? I'm doing a lot of web development and hoping to create handy buttons for opening up entire folders (Ruby on Rails projects) with only one click. At the moment, I have to find the folder and drag it to the textmate icon; if I had a 'open in textmate' button, that would make my work so much quicker, as I'm often changing between projects. It would be even better if I could have the button as a bookmark in my browser (where I spend most of my time).
Secondly (probably related to the first question), is it possible to automate a process I follow every time I open up a Ruby on Rails project in Terminal (?);
1. Load Terminal by clicking on the icon in the dock
2. 'cd sites/rubyonrailsapp' (where 'rubyonrailsapp' is the rails application I want to load)
3. 'mate .' (opens the entire /rubyonrails/ folder in TextMate)
4. 'CMD + T' (to open up a new Terminal tab)
5. 'gitk --all &' (to open up the Wish version control interface for the rails application)
6. 'autotest' (to runs the tests in the rails application)
7. 'CMD + T' (to open up another new Terminal tab, ready for me to use)
If I could follow those steps with only one click, that would be amazing, so any suggestions are much appreciated (I just realised how many times-per-day I'm typing these commands).
Cheersyou can try this applescript. just copy it into the Script Editor and save it (1) as a script application that you can double-click, or (2) as a script that you can run from the script menu or quickkeys or etc. may need some tweaking...
<pre class="jive-pre">tell application "Terminal"
set cmd to "cd sites/rubyonrailsapp; mate ."
do script cmd
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "t" using command down
end tell
tell application "Terminal"
set cmd to "gitk --all & autotest;"
do script cmd
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "t" using command down
end tell</pre>
to solve your other question, you'll probably need to script textmate. something like:
<pre class="jive-pre">tell application "TextMate"
open alias "path:to:folder"
end tell</pre>
I don't have textmate to test it on, however.
sorry it's not a unix solution, but the task you're trying to accomplish fits better with applescript.

Finder crash when opening any Folder
I am a very experienced mac user and this one has me stumped. Im posting here to see if anyone else has this problem.
Finder crashes when opening a folder on the desktop
Finder crashes when using any option from the Go menu (or key combo) except Airdrop.
Once Finder window is open on Airdrop any navigation to home folder or any other folder using side bar causes Finder to crash.
Using Go To Folder causes crash, even on hidden folder like /var
Finder is OK when opening files on desktop
All other apps can browse file system and open/save OK
Google Drive is not present on system (this used to be an issue a long time a go that caused similar symptoms in other threads)
Drop Box is installed. But issue occurs even when dropbox is not running
Using spotlight to open applications still works normally.
Clicking the Finder icon in the Dock results in a non-functional blank window entitled "Window", all tool buttons are disabled.
Repeatedly opening the same folder over and over results in the message "The last time you open Finder, it unexpectedly quite while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the windows yourself" Two options "Don't Reopen" and "Reopen". Both buttons have no effect except to dismiss the dialog.
Steps Taken to fix:
Booted into recovery mode and performed repair disk and Permissions - Finder Still Crashes
Removed finder preference files using terminal
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Recent changes to system:
iTunes 11.4 Installed with normal Software Update.
Possible Cause of Problem
Found app in iTunes that has File Sharing enabled and has a shared folder. Curious as to what was in the folder i dragged it to my desktop and double clicked. Im not sure if iTunes would have had enough time to copy the contents of the folder before i tried to open the folder. Finder crashed. This was the first time it happened.
iPhone app in iTunes that I picked in was "Ubersense".1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Problem Application - can't open Applications folder in finder
Dear All,
I went to upgrade an application (Transmission) today, but during the upgrade, my macbook requested to be restarted. I did this, and now whenever that application is encountered in finder, it crashes finder. This means I cannot open the folder in finder, or from my dock. If I search for it using spotlight, it also crashes.
I have tried deleting it through terminal, but when I navigate to the applications folder, and type "ls -l", no contents are listed, though I can still load other applications through spotlight.
Does anyone have any idea what I might be able to do to delete this problem application? I was hoping to just do a system restore using my time-machine backups, but I don't have an install CD, and apparently you can't do that without one of those.
Thank you in advance for any advice!

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
I'd launch the Console utility and look under ~/Library/Logs and /Library/Logs for a CrashReporter item. If you see a Finder crash log in either of those locations, post the contents here and someone may be able to help you decipher what's wrong.
I'd also use Disk Utility to do a "verify disk" operation on your boot drive to see if that reveals anything.

If all else fails it's probably possible to use commands in the Terminal application to delete the problematic application, but first I'd try the things I suggest above. -
Can't open download folder in my mac
help!!!! I can't open download folder anymore. Anyone can help me out?
My case is little different than what you said above. When I click the Download Fold that is in the dock, it just pops up a blank window. Then even I click the Finder in dock, it pops up blank window as well. However I still can open Finder with "Conmand + N". I clicked Download Folder the one in the home folder, it does not respond.
Just let you know I am using Lion os x, the folders in the home folder can not be modified and deleted.
I tried using spotlight to open it, but it still doesn't work. -
Nautilus Only Opens Home Folder
Hi, for a couple of months nautilus only opens the home folder.
I tried to add another folder to sidebar via launcher (nautilus --no-desktop /home/user/folder) but when I click the icon it says "starting file manager" and after a while it just vanishes, same applies for the media I insert such as USB sticks, a message pop-ups and asks if I want to "open with file manager" if I click it same thing happens. Only exception to this is if nautilus is already running; then everything works as expected.
If try to open a folder from console using the command "nautilus --no-desktop /home/user/folder" I only get a "Segmentation Fault" error and nothing else.
I created a new user and tried the same thing with it, everything works like a charm. However despite I removed "~.gconf/apps/nautilus", "~.config/nautilus" and everything related to nautilus in "~.local/share/applications/" from my users home folder, I couldn't solve the problem.
I checked my drive for any empty CD/DVD and mounted other filesystems manually since I read somwhere if I have a usb stick plugged in and unmounted can cause the issue. But again no use.
So if you guys can figure this out and help me it will be most appreciated.
BTW: I am not using nautilus-open-terminal extension.If you've closed all Finder windows and then log out,
logging back in is similar to clicking the Finder's
icon in the Dock, and a new single window will be
opened.
No, this is either a restart or shutdown/restart sequence. I don't use log out and log in, as I am the only one using the computer.
If you click on the Finder icon in the Dock, and
there are currently no open Finder windows, the
Finder will open a new window to the default location
specified in the General pane of the Finder's
Preferences. In other words, it behaves like other
"document-based" applications such as Safari,
TextEdit, etc.
Could the Finder icon be registering a mouse click (that may not actually be there) on boot?
I did discover that if I booted into safe mode and deleted the two previously mentioned preference files (com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist), the issue went away for about a week -- but the problem returned this morning. -
Opening a folder takes forever
Ever since I upgraded to OS X Mavericks, when I open a folder in spoitlight, on the dock, desktop, etc., it takes forever to open up. I've googled this and seen some fixes, but none have worked for me. I searched through this forum and hadn't seen this question posted yet unless I missed it.
Yes, you've missed the prior discussion.
Go here for the workaround on : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5492808?start=15&tstart=60
Go to page 4 and look for post by Snaggletooth__DE -
Have this reoccurring problem that when an icon in the dock is clicked it open a folder showing it's location instead of a opening the app.
A reboot will fix it, but it is getting annoying. Any idea what may be going on?
Thanks,
CarlTry this:
Move the following from Library/Preferences in your Home folder to your Desktop:
com.apple.dock.db
com.apple.dock.plist
Reboot and test
Good luck -
Hi,
While trying to open a folder on my Windows 7 Home Premium, an error comes "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I tried searching on the net but did not get great support for the issue when it happens with folder opening.Hi Nikunj Shah,
First, I suggest you download
Microsoft Safety Scanner or
Malicious Software Removal Tool to run a full scan.
The error messages here seems to be caused by the corrupted registries, which related with the folder association.
You may take a try to merge the following registry settings to reset the folder association, before that, remember to backup your registry settings first:

I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it. For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in. I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps. Old apple operating systems made it easy to have several folders open at one time.
Eric, thanks that works but seems like an extra added step also to do it that way. I've got to move and organize a ton of files and I'm looking for a easy way to get this done. I could also open the folder into a separate tab and then drag the tab out so it becomes an open window but thats a lot of fussing around also with extra steps. Not sure why these newer operating system seems more confusing and less user friendly than what they used to. In the past I could just click on any folder and it would open in a separate window making it really easy to copy or move files from one place to the other just by simply dragging them from one window to the other. Seems like I'm going through several extra steps now to do a simple task.

I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.
Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it. Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer. Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

Three days ago I upgraded to Firefox 4.01. I downloaded several files that were ok. Yesterday and today I downloaded one powerpoint file and a an apple *.dmg file.
On the Download window these two files I can see with the total mb in size. However when I right click the file list in the Download window the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options are greyed out. What is more I cannot find these files anywhere on my computer when I use Windows Explorer to search.
It seems that this happened after I tried to download a Firefox add on from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/64761/amazonassist-0.7.2.6-fx.xpi and my antivirus picked up the JS/Kryptik.AK trojan and terminated the connection. Is there a link with the problem I am experiencing?
I use Windows 7 professional, Firefox 4.01You're welcome

Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Luis.Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

"Open each folder in the same window" not working
hey guys, just today, I noticed that whenever i double click a folder, it opens in a new window. I went to folder properties, and made sure I checked "Open each folder in the same window," and its checked. I tried switching it on, then off, then restoring all defaults in both those settings and the view settings, and I've tried restarting the computer, even using a system restore point. No Matter what, whenever I double click a window, it opens in a new window, but if I use the navigation pane, or if I highlight a window and click the open button at the top left, it opens in the same window. This is very very very annoying, because just navigating my harddrive, I might end up with 20 windows open to reach just 1 file.
Does anyone know what's wrong? or how I can fix this?I was experiencing this same issue on my laptop and spent several frustrating hours of searching in vain for a solution. I tried most of the same fixes mentioned here with no success (re-registering DLL's, running the system file checker [sfc /scannow],
turning off the navigation pane, performing virus scans, etc). After almost giving up, I discovered that I only experienced this behavior when I accessed Explorer from the shortcut which was pinned to my taskbar. When I opened the "Computer" shortcut
on my desktop, I was able to open individual folders without having new windows open each time. I suspect that this is related to the new design/function of the taskbar in Windows 7. To get the results I wanted, I opted to revert to the "classic" style
taskbar seen in Windows Vista (AKA the "Quicklaunch" toolbar) by following the instructions here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/add-the-quick-launch-bar-to-the-taskbar-in-windows-7/
Then, I simply added a new shortcut to "Computer" in the new Quicklaunch toolbar and, "Voila!" - problem solved. Oddly enough, I don't experience the same behavior on my desktop PC which is also running Windows 7. Ain't Microshaft grand?!? (a-hem)
