Error 600 - Finder can't be opened

I have recently purchased a brand new imac from the apple store (september) and am having a few really annoying issuesd with it.
Quite often, I am unable to open finder, today being one of those days!
I can open folders that are saved to the desktop, but physically trying to open finder results in an error message popping up
The application "Finder" can't be opened
-600
This also effects my download folder and recycle bin.
Is this normal? Is it a problem with the machine? What can I do to stop this happening as the only way i have found to clear the problem, is to reboot the machine which really isn't practical.

It mentions nothing about the symptoms I am experiencing
"Applications may not function correctly or may stop responding after being opened."

Error -10810 Finder can't be opened

when finder freezes up or w/e and i click 'relaunch' it tells me "The application Finder can't be opened -10810. after which finder doesnt work at all unless i log off and log back in (or restart the computer). any suggestions on how to restart finder without having to log off?

This may help you read though it, its a lot but very help full its not on the mac its a 3rd party link. safe to go to i promise. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10365239-263.html

The application "Finder" can't be opened. -600

I found tons of forums talking about the -10810 issues but never found one talking about -600
I had recently clean installed mountain lion, soon after that I got this 'the application "finder" can't be opened" issues. Some says it happens after the lateast 10.8.2 update. A forum says the solution is delete the finder prefs file. I did and everything was fine for 2 weeks then it happened again just now. When I search for answers online again, I noticed everyone's discussing the problem -10810, but my macbook pro pop up -600 instead:
The application "Finder" can't be opened.
-600
So I don't know if the -10810 solution will be the same as -600 issues
I can open folders by double clicking it. However when I click the Finder.app dock icon, it will not switch to Finder, but if I use Command + Tab, it'll switch to Finder.app
Also if I click "open in finder" on the dock's stacks, the above -600 error message pops up, so Finder still works but cannot open from dock actions.
I can forced quit Finder but it cannot be open again from the dock icon, it doesn't solve the issue even if I reboot my Macbook Pro.
Is there any solutions? or I just need to keep deleting the finder's preps everytime this happens?

This happens to me on various apps. Firefox, Calculator, really any app. Randomly. The -600 dialog can not be focused though it is always on top. So I can't click "ok" ... I can't find the process in the terminal to kill it either. Fortunately I can save my work... But the only option I have is to restart the machine. It has to be the most annoying bug I think I've ever seen and nearly renders OS X useless.

I am unable to open my Finder. error -10810 appears saying "The application Finder can't be opened". Any suggestions, I'm stumped! {I'm on a new iMac 10.6.8} thank you!

Every time I click on the finder symbol it says application finder can not be opened

I can not use my finder icon. every time i click on it it pops up (The application finder can not be opened)

Post the full text of the message, including the error code, if any.
Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Enter the application name in the “Filter” text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any -- the text, please, not a screenshot
Then, still in the Console window, look under "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to the application. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- again, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest 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.)

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."

While the iTunes app is being updated, you are correct, it cannot be opened.
This is true of all Apple apps on your Mac.
iTunes is not very large compared to other apps. Let it update, then open it.

I used migration to send photos form my Mac Book to my I Mac now i get an error message "iPhoto can not be opened because of a problem" Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Max OSX. You may need to install any available updates or reinstall IPhoto.
I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program, any suggestions?

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

I have been exporting lightroom webgaleries to my iweb site without any problem. Suddenly I get the error message "finder can't complete the operation because some data can't be read or written" - error code -36 - thoughts?

i have been exporting lightroom web galleries to my iweb site without any problem. Suddenly I get the error message "finder can't complete the operation because some data can't be read or written" - error code -36 - and the move to the sites folder on my idisk fails..... thoughts?

Try this community: MobileMe on my Mac: MobileMe: Apple Support Communities.
And you can continue to use iWeb for some time to come. The following will explain:
It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

I force quit pages and now I get an error saying it "can't be opened"

My computer was acting up, do I saved the document I was working on and restarted. Once I restarted I went to reopen the document and I got an error stating it "can't be opened". So I tried to restart again, saying that pages wasn't quitting and I had to force quit before I could restart (even though pages wasn't opening). So I did the force quit and it's still not opening, I'm getting the same error message and I really need to get into this document and finish it before a deadline. HELP PLEASE.

Try opening it with the shift key held down.

Just updated to yosemite and get message saying "finder can't be opened"

I just updated my OS X to Yosemite. When the computer restarted, all my icons were gone from my desktop and every time I try to open Finder I get a message saying "Finder can't be opened". Anyone know how to solve this?

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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Reinstalling Design Premium 5.5 on a Mac - error message "Install" can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

Trying to reinstall Design Premium 5.5 on a Mac OSX 10.7.5 - once downloaded to my computer it will not install due to error message "Install" can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.
Thanks

no, redownload using a different browser from prodesigntools.com
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant / Manager) | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Have you tried rebooting your mac?

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.
