Finder.app Can't be Opened after upgrade

I just upgraded to Yosemite and my desktop will load for a few seconds before disappearing and Finder.app Can't Be Opened
2014 MacBook Air

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
For this step, 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.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
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 other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • The application "Finder.app" can't be opened. Anyone getting this error after upgrade?

    Upgraded to new OS version and getting  "The application “Finder.app” can’t be opened."
    The icon in the tray has a small black dot under it. Not sure whether that is relevant

    Hi ..
    A Safe Mode boot deletes some system caches that may help after an OS X upgrade.
    Top left corner of your screen click the  Apple   > Shut Down.
    After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, go back to the Apple  menu. From the drop down menu click:  Restart
    Then try the Finder.

  • I plugged in a USB drive, tried to open Finder, got the message Finder.app can't be opened - 10810, went into terminal.app, messed up, now terminal screen blank.  how do i regain terminal in order to fix finder problem?

    With my iMac running, I plugged in a USB drive.  When I clicked on finder, I got the message Finder.app can't be opened - 10810.  I removed the USB drive.  I messed up while in Terminal.app trying to fix Finder problem.  Now my terminal screen is blank, just the cursor, but no action after typing a command & clicking enter.  Help!

    I finally figured out a way to Restart (normal way wasn't working...) & that Restart DID FIX both the Terminal problem AND the Finder problem.  So easy, yet so elusive.  Thanks so much.

  • "Finder.app can't be opened"

    I seem to have had finder lockup and have to force quit out of it a number of time recently.
    I then get
    The application finder.app can't be opened -10810
    and have to run a restart to get it going again.
    how worried should I be about this? Solutions?
    Thanks in advance for any experience on this.

    These are both simple and could fix it.
    Restart in safe mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    Then restart normally.
    Delete the Finder preferences file.
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/finder.html
    If both of these fail then you will need to try repair permission etc. Which are more complicated.
    edit: You could also try making a new user account and if the problem doesn't persist migrating your files over

  • Time machine problem? The application Finder.app can't be opened -10810

    I've got a Snow Leopard system with an external FireWire Maxtor drive that has been set to be a Time Machine archive of the internal drive. I'm noticing the following problem (twice so far) which may or may not be TM related. I leave my machine and come in the morning; Time Machine says no backup happened since 7:45pm last night. I notice the file system is acting weird - can't open any of the disks from the desktop. I try to restart the Finder, and it says "The application Finder.app can't be opened -10810" - won't start the Finder! So, I had to reboot (and disconnected the FW drive). I'll try it for a couple of nights without the TM machine and see what happens. The reason I suspect TM is that sometimes I see the icon on the TM disk change from the blue/gray TM icon back to its native FW disk icon, and sometimes I see a message that says "Can't find disk" or something similar for that external drive.
    Any ideas? Should I be looking for an external drive from another vendor, or will it be the same thing? Does TM have problems associated with Finder and error -10810? How do I debug?

    No, I tried different drives, and it made no difference.
    In the end I turned it off, and did backups with SuperDuper!.
    funny you should mention SuperDuper. When you had this problem, did you have SuperDuper scheduled to back up other drives? I have a theory, which I'll test eventally. For some reason, this TM problem only happened at night - not all the times it activated (every hour) during the workday. Why?!? Well, one thing that happens at night for me is a scheduled SuperDuper backup of the same drive (the one TM is backing up) onto a mirror drive (not the one TM is writing to).
    Maybe that's when the freeze occurs - when they both coincide at night? I'd think that the Unix-base of OS X shouldn't have any problems when two apps are reading one disk and at the same time, but maybe TM and SuperDuper are both doing some sort of low-level reads that can't be done at the same time? What do you think - might this explain your issues also?

  • The application Finder.app can't be opened. (-600)

    ...After updating to 10.8.2. Anybody else?.

    Bob's solution was no solution for me, probably because after trashing those 2 PLISTs I decided to follow critichu's advice of relaunching the Finder rather than logging out or restarting.
    Let's face it.  When I have these Finder problems, I can always solve them by restarting.  But the reason I came to this forum in the first place was to find out how to prevent this from either happening again or solve it quickly so I don't need to logout or restart.
    What seems to cause Finder problems for me on a regular basis is my Time Capsule, which is connected to my 10.8.4 DuoCore iMac via Gigabit Ethernet (and shared in our office).  For whatever reason, while I am in the midst of copying files to/from the Time Capsule, the Finder will lockup with spinning beachball forever.  I have experienced this often in Adobe Illustrator too.  When saving a file from Illustrator to my Time Capsule, my entire Mac locks up and I am forced to restart.
    Anyway, the problem I have today was not caused by a document save to Time Capsule in Illustrator, but by merely copying files from my Time Capsule to my desktop.  The Finder locked up, so I tried to kill it and relaunch.  It wouldn't relaunch.  So I then started quitting all my open apps (including Illustrator and Outlook), and then mysteriously the Finder launched.
    Strangeness began though when I clicked on the Downloads folder sitting in my Dock.  I always choose "Show in Finder" when I right-click on that folder in my Dock.  But this time when I do that, I get a "Finder can't be opened" error -600.  But the Finder is already open!  However, when I hit Opt-CMD-ESC, I see two instances of the Finder in the dialog!  But in Activity Monitor, I only see one instance of the Finder.  And quitting that instance (which quits the Finder visually), still leaves one open instance inside the "Force Quit Applications" dialog!
    Yes, I've tried "killall Finder" in the Terminal, but that just gives me the following error:
    No matching processes belonging to you were found
    Is there really no rememdy for this other than to Logout or Restart?  Surely there must be.  This is getting quit painful.
    I'm also unsure when this started. I think I was still having this problem even under Lion, although exclusively in Illustrator (when saving to my Time Capsule), rather than in the Finder.
    I'm baffled.

  • App store won't open after upgrading to Maverick

    After upgrading to Maverick I cannot launch the app store.  When clicking on the icon it shows 6 updates but will not open.  Anyone else with this problem?

    Hi gabbycallaghan,
    If you are unable to load the Mac App Store after updating to Yosemite, you may want to see if you can access the iTunes Store and/or try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article, as access issues can often affect both stores:

  • The application Finder.app can't be opened. -10810

    This just happened subsequent to restared after opening an email about free medical apps.  Lately, I've had to go to Finder > Apps to open my homepage, gmail, on Firefox.  I prefer Firefox to Safari.  Thanks in advance for responses.

    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.

  • Can't Even Open After Upgrading to iTunes 7.6!

    I upgraded two days ago to 7.6 (which, on a side note, when looking about "About iTunes" it still listed it as 7.5) and all of the sudden today it says "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of iTunes." What happened? Has anybody else had this problem? After clicking "OK" it just closes and I can't use iTunes.
    Wow, thanks Apple!

    Okay! Thanks! Followed the link to that threat and figured out the problem. I had moved iTunes to a sub-folder in Applications (for grouping together as a stack in the dock, something stacks should have been able to do anyway) and when it installed the new version it didn't check where the old one was, it just dropped the new one in Applications.
    Everyone else who has this problem double check and make sure you don't have two different versions of iTunes: one in the applications folder and another that your dock shortcut directs to.

  • Error -10810 (The application Finder.app can't be opened)

    Hello,
    My praise: For the first time in 3.5 year that I own a Mac I found this error in one of my account.
    My problem: Everybody in our household have a login, last night my wife tried to use hers and got this error. You can not start any application the only thing you can do is switch account but if you do that all other account a stuck. After restarting the machine I can access my login without any problem. I repaired permission and scan the disk. I also used the tips I found here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10340873&#10340873 as well as the tool mention. No solution, still doing it.
    My question: Did anybody got this message other than Guuz? I'm thinking of deleting the user and recreate one, how do I retrieve the document folder in this user before I delete. Any other idea?
    Thanks
    Thierry

    I've seen this errors a few times on my machine. usually restarting makes it go away. but when it happens to me it happens on all accounts so i don't think recreating a user will solve this. I usually repair the startup disk and zap all caches with YASU afterward to be on safe side.

    First, quit "Dropbox" and see whether there's an improvement.
    Finder crashes are often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you first check for an update. If that doesn't solve the problem, remove it according to the developer's instructions. You may need to start the computer in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to "show status icons." According to reports, that may be enough to stop the crashing.
    Similar cloud-data clients such as "Dolly Drive," "iDrive," "Open Drive," "Transporter Desktop," and others can cause the same problem.
