Error "The application Finder can't be opened -10810"

Hi there,
I do not know what's going on at the office this week but our MacBook Pro gives this error when you turn it on. I cannot open the Finder and when I try to restart get stuck and nothing happens, so I force it on the power button. Although I was able to open a folder on the desktop.
I have tried this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4315534?start=0&tstart=0 but did not work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi,
try: "/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder &" in Terminal to start the Finder manually.

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."

how to fix "

Try a restart in safe mode. If Finder works there, start again normally and see if it is fixed. If not, run Console.app and see if any helpful error messages are being posted.
Have you added any 3-rd party software recently?

The Application Finder Can't Be Opened

I have not used my iMac in a week. Today when I clicked on Finder this message appeared:
"The Application Finder Can't Be Opened - 10810". Finder version 10.6.8. The other issue today is all my folders had disappeared from my desktop. The files are all here, but the folders don't show up.
Anyone have this problem in the past and can provide me with help on how to resolve the problem?

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.

The appliCATION PREVIEW CAN'T BE OPENED -10810

When I try to "preview" a file, I am getting an error message that says "The Application 'Preview' can't be opened -10810
How can I fix this?

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

The application finder can't be opened -1712

Hello,
I've already search in forum for this problem, however, I couldn't find an answer.
I've tried the option in the terminal typing: /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder &
But could only use finder while terminal was open, and I can't shut down or restart my iMac.
What can I do?
Thank you very much.
Mariana

Force a shutdown by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Then reboot and test.

My MacBook Pro's finder application says: The application Finder can't be opened. How do I fix this?

I have tried all the fixes, but it still won't fix finder, is there any other way to do it. The terminal script didn't work either. Please help.
Thank you.

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
If you can now open the Finder, go to - /Library/Preferences and trash the finder plist file.
Repair permissions - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.

MBP Late 2007 Snow Leopard 10.6.8 finder randomly (but now always!) crashing current app still works, but can't change apps dialog: "application Finder can't be opened -10810". Any ideas?

Keyboard won't work after waking from sleep. Finder not working. When I hard restart, it works for a little while, but then the finder drops out on its own accord. The current app will still function nearly normally, but can't change apps. Can't quit any apps. Force Quit shows no apps?
All this has started in the last few days. Fine (if a little slow, too long on beach balls, but nothing like the one minute rolls I'm reading about ...) up until then. Only new update was last iTunes update! and I haven't opened iTunes?

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.)
