Finder crashing, can not be re-opened, unable to restart or shut down.

I've experienced this a few times in the past two days. The Finder crashes and cannot be re-opened. Attempting to re-launch it bring the error:
"The application Finder.app can't be opened. -10810"
Each time this occurred it was while trying to connect to a Windows 2003 server via SMB. Something that works without a problem in 10.5.8
Anyone else see this error when trying to mount volumes via SMB?

  • Finder Crashing, Can Not Restart, The World is Blowing Up

    I'm at a loss here. My computer, even after a clean install is simply not behaving well. For example:
    1. I can't restart the computer. When I choose restart, the dock and menu bar go away and then I get stuck at the desktop picture. The spinning lines just spin and spin and spin and it won't restart.
    2. I can't shut down the computer, the exact same thing happens.
    3. Every time I start up, Spotlight has to index every drive connected to my computer. Every time.
    4. Finder crashes about once a day and crashes so hard sometimes that I have to hard restart.
    5. Most applications are completely unstable and crash often.
    The steps I've taken to remedy the situation:
    1. Reinstalled the full 10.5.1 updater
    2. Zapped the PRAM
    3. Booted from the Leopard disk and repaired permissions
    4. Single-user mode to run fsck
    5. Disconnected everything but my keyboard and mouse and I still couldn't restart
    6. Removed any applications that might not be playing well with Leopard (i.e. not specifically noted that it works with Leopard)
    I'm using the in-the-box keyboard and mouse for my iMac. I've never added any after-market things to my iMac like a new hard drive or RAM. Everything in the machine is the stuff that came with the machine. I do have a 500GB FW400 and a 2TB FW800 hooked up. I also have an HP printer, Sony Cyber-shot, iPhone dock, and USB hub connected to my iMac.
    Are there any tests I can run that might help me identify the problem? I'm not looking forward to lugging this to an Apple Store only to have it taken away for a couple of weeks while they try and figure out what's wrong.

    Hi
    You could try reinstalling a clean OS and not preserve network users and settings. Repair the disk beforehand. If your mac is stable the whole time the installer is doing this odds are its not your mac that is the problem.
    However assuming you may have a hardware fault
    Switch your mac off and turn it up on its end, use a cross-head screwdriver to remove the one retaining screw that allows you access to the RAM slots, touch something metallic to ground yourself and remove both sticks of RAM. Now place the mac right way up insert the power cord and depress the power on button. You should see the boot light flash regularly as well as hearing a single monotone beep. Depress the power on button again to power off the mac, remove the power cord, turn the mac over and re-insert one of the RAM modules in the rightmost slot. Make sure it is seated correctly and in place. Be firm when installing RAM but don't be too rough. Turn the mac rightway round again, insert the power cable and see if it boots normally. If still no joy repeat the instructions until you have tried both RAM modules singularly in each RAM slot. If at the end of all this your mac is still playing up, take it to your nearest Apple Authorized Repair Specialist.
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • My iMac goes into a deep sleep and can not be woken up; it needs to be shut down and restarted.

    My Intel iMac goes into a deep sleep and can not be awakened; I need to hold the start button in to force it to shut down and then restart it.
    What might be wrong?

    Try a very quick momentary press of the power button.

  • I can no longer download and save files. They are now saved with a ".part" suffix that I can not use or open. What happened, I used to do this all the time?

    Downloads seem to be happening normally at first but the file shows up with a file extension of ".part" that I can not use or open. If I refresh the folder where it was downloaded to, it disappears as though it wasn't there at all.
    I used to do this and it just yesterday started to give me problems. It doesn't seem to matter what file type I do this with as PDF, MP3 and EXE files have all shown this problem.
    Please help!

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

    my iPhone 4s doesn't work. i can not swipe to open it or to even turn it off. what can i do??????

    I would attempt a reset. This is done by holding both the powerbutton and the home button for about 10 seconds for it to restart.
    When it boots back up, test the issue. If the issue persists, I would then recommend a restore through iTunes on a computer, set up as new, and test again. If it's now working, i'd recommend to restore from your last back up see if it resolved your issue.
    Hopefully the first reset solves it, in most cases it does.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for the quick response!
    I am glad to hear that the log level is the reason for the output and not an issue with the broker!
    Thanks again....

  • Safari status bar disappears.  I have tried clicking on show status bar and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen.  I can not minimize the open page only full screen or close the browser.  Any idea how the rectify this

    Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

    One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
    You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

  • Can not get pass opening screen, help please!!

    First off, when I tried to turn of my emac earlier this evening it took a few tries. Then when I went to turn it back on, it got to the opening white screen, with the grey apple in the middle but would not go any further. I tried a few more times, with the same results, white screen, grey apple, no farther.
    Any help will be much appreciated, I thank you in advance!!

    You can also try to Start Up in Safe Mode, with one important warning: once it gets to the gray screen / Apple logo stage, walk away and leave it be for at least a half hour! When a Mac shuts down improperly (power failure, errors on shutdown, multiple force restarts before completing startup), on next start it will attempt to run a faceless variant of the Repair Disk utility in the background. Depending on the size of the hard drive, the amount stored on it, the processor speed, and the amount if any of damage detected, this can take anywhere from 5 minutes to over 30 minutes. If the process is interrupted and the Mac restarted or shut down, then it tries again from the beginning on the next start. This can obviously put you in a vicious loop if you're not aware of what it's trying to do.
    Since the Safe Mode disc repair is faceless, you don't get any immediate feedback as to any errors being turned up. It's better to follow cosmichobo's advice and use the OS X Install disc to run Disk Utility from the Installer menu; that will let you see what's going on. Note that if any errors are reported repaired by Disk Utility/Repair Disk, you should immediately run it again --- it's possible for one disc error to mask others.
    Another option would be to boot the Mac into single user mode and use the Unix file system check utility fsck (if you're not adverse to using the Unix command line prompt). Refer to Using Disk Utility and fsck for detailed instructions.

    You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
    Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
    An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
    If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

    Do you mean that you did a soft-reset ?
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing Safari via the iPad's multitaskingbar and see if it works when you re-open it :double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    After trying the above you could also do a soft-reset (even if this is what you've already done it might be worth trying after clearing Safari's cache and closing the app via the taskbar) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
