Finder no longer opens after recent update

Hi fellow mac enthusiasts. I sincerely hope someone can help me.
After my most recent software update I can log in but the Finder does not open. I can open other applications that are in the dock. Fortunately I have Quicksilver and I can use it as a launcher for almost all other applications (my standalone flash player is a notable exception). I can launch the terminal to move files around and whatnot, but not having the finder is a huge inconvenience right now. Sadly, I don't know what exactly the update was. I run Software Update every day and I always accept all of the updates it gives without too much consideration. I want to say it had something to do with Quicktime?
Here's what I've done so far:
booted in Single User and ran fsck - a couple of problems found and repaired
ran Disk Utility and verified the startup disk - no problems found
ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions - a few errors found and repaired
started in Safe Mode - no change
removed all finder and quicktime related plist files in the System and User Libraries - no change
Any other suggestions? As far as I can tell there's no problem with any of the hardware. Also, the problem persists across all three users (and, as noted above, in Safe Mode).

Hi and a warm welcome to the forums William!
since it holds for all Users, you mightt drag this whole folder to the Desktop & reboot...
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/SystemConfiguration/
You can also try reapplying a big Combo Update like...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...

    Apologies I am not the best tech savy person and have read other posts trying to solve the problem. Other posts asked for the following reports.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - we are an apple household and this is effecting everything!

  • Mouse gesturing no longer works after recent update ?

    Recently, after an update my magic mouse no longer functions using the swipe gestures...Anyone else with this issue?
    tried to look at in in preferences bt no options there.

    Helpful link from 95bulls.  Here is the Apple link which deals with the more general problems one can have with an unresponding Mouse.   Is the green power light working or blinking?
    You don't say which update or give any details of the OS you use.    Please try to find a moment to update your profile.

  • Speedgrade CC won't open after recent update

    After a recent update Speedgrade CC will not open. I get the following error message.
    Speedgrade exe.-Entry Point Not Found
    The Procedure Entry Point
    ?create@recycledMemory@utility@dvzcore@@SA?AV?$hared_ptr@VRecycledMemory@utility@dvacore@@ boost@@XZ could not be found in the dynamic library dvacore.dll
    Anyone have any ideas about this problem?
    Thanks
    Steve

    I was having the same issues with speegrade CC 2014, I tried all the things with clearing logs (although there weren't really any), setting permissions, etc. But in the end, I finally got it to launch! Here is what I did:
    1. (not sure if necessary) I selected the SG CC 2014 folder in the Applications folder and set the permissions to read&write for all (and applied to enclosing items).
    2. Open Terminal and enter sudo mode: Just type in "sudo -s" (without quotation marks of cause)
    3. Type user password and hit Enter
    4. In Finder, navigate to "/Applications/Adobe SpeedGrade CC 2014/Adobe SpeedGrade CC 2014.app/Contents/MacOS/sgmacosx"
    5. now drag that file into the Terminal window and hit Enter.
    The Terminal does show me a few errors, but SpeedGrade does start without problems!
    Since I haven't used SG ever, I don't know if it's stable or works in it's entirety like this. But maybe it does. At least this way it launches.
    PS: SG also launches by using the file "SpeedGrade" or "SpeedGradeCmd", not only "sgmacosx". Though I don't know if that makes a difference...

  • Firefox will not open after recent update of all computer lab servers, Windows server 2008 R2, Multipoint 2011

    All 3 computer lab servers were recently updated and rebooted. Java was updated as well to 7u21. Now all 3 do not respond when Firefox icon is clicked, from any thin-client or remote desktop session/user. There is no popup error, just an hour-glass for about 5 seconds and then nada. IE is fine. I can't tell if it was the java update or a windows security update, and I'm not seeing anything in the error logs

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Site won't open after recent update

    I am working using an OLD version of iweb (1.1.2 I think) and after the most recent software update it will not open my existing pages any longer. All I get is the option to build new pages. I can find the files for the old ones, but they won't open. It used to ask me which domain I wanted to open, but now it just goes straight to opening the app and asking me to create a new one. Am I the only one with this problem??? If not, does anyone have any ideas? Help!! I really don't want to have to re-build the site from scratch again. Thanks.

  • Middle mouse click no longer works after recent update

    I noticed after updating about 3 days ago that clicking the scroll wheel no longer acts as middle click on my MX Revolution mouse from logitech anymore. Pressing on the scroll wheel use to act as middle mouse click, now it just switches between scroll modes. I would like to have the former functionality returned as I really like to be able to open links in new tabs and paste with just one click.
    Does anyone know how I could get this functionality working again on this mouse? All other button functions work as they did prior to the update that changed my scroll wheel click behavior.
    Thanks for any help with this matter and please let me know if any other information is needed to diagnosis this problem.

    Does this mouse work with other OS/PC ?
    After a simple reboot or pacman -Syu, do you backup to roll back ? Can you mention which packages/files were updated?
    Yes the mouse works in windows, but logitech provides a configuration utility for it and so I use that set it up. In linux there is no such utility to configure the mouse. There use to be btnx and that worked great but it's no longer in the repos or AUR so I don't use that anymore. I haven't done pacman -Sc or pacman -Scc in a while so I should still have the packages to roll back, but I'm not sure what package update caused this. Here is a list of the of packages that were updated just before this started happening, from pacman.log...

  • MSI Live Update will no longer work after recent update

    Recently, MSI Live Update upgraded itself and now errors when a scan is attempted.  I can start the application, and the scan appears to occur but does not complete.  The error is pretty generic: 
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\Live Update 6\Live Update.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    First thing I did was uninstall the tool, delete the directory, reboot and download and install Live Update 6.x from the MSI  site.  No change.  I figured there was possibly a problem with (one of the) C++ Runtime libraries and checked the system requirements on the MSI website, but all it says its needs is the .NET runtime library.  I uninstalled it, rebooted, and reinstalled it but still received the same error.  Going with the error, I removed all of the C++ libraries (8, 10, and 12 I think), rebooted, and reinstalled them the checked MS for updates.   Sadly, this also didn't resolve it.
    Error in the application log didn't help:
    Faulting application name: Live Update.exe, version: 6.0.12.0, time stamp: 0x54768b62
    Faulting module name: Live Update.exe, version: 6.0.12.0, time stamp: 0x54768b62

    Yep, the package names were blank.
    Searching the forum didn't yield much.  Suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestions - still in the same boat.
    @jb0nez
    what OS you are running? Windows 8.1 x64
    what MSI hardware you have?
    Board: Z87-G43 GAMING
    Bios: American Megatrends v1.9 (7/21/2014)
    Intel Core i5-4670 @ 3.40GHz (not overclocked)
    OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
    @jb0nez
    I fixed it though--went to Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, found Microsoft .net 4.5.1, hit Change/Uninstall, then clicked Repair. Rebooted after and it was fine.
    Windows 8.x has .NET 4.x preinstalled as a part of the OS.
    I used DISM.exe which identified a component store corruption (and repaired it).  Live Update still errors.
    Attempts to install from a .NET runtime returns an error of "A higher version is already installed".
    Version of .NET installed: 4.5.51641
    I did disable, reboot, and re-enable .NET as a feature but doing so does not revert it back to stock .NET.
    I also checked Windows Update after re-enabling it and there were no updates - so its not flushing the binaries if its disabled.
    At least I have a direction to start troubleshooting (.NET) - thanks for the tip!
    @jb0nez
    are you also use the same version? Live Update 6.0.012
    @TZBC
    Restore points are out - I let this slide too long.  If I go that route, I'll be fixing one app to break 10 others.
    If I'm going to reinstall the OS, I'll wait until Windows 10 (I'll do a complete wipe at that time).  Live Update  is a 'nice to have', but its not worth my  time to wipe the OS and rebuild the system.

  • Itunes won't open after recent update

    I just updated my Itunes to the newest version for my mac which is under the operating system version 10.6.8 and now it will not open. Any suggestions?

    Try tunring your hole device off. If this does not help I would take it back to the store you got it from and ask. Hope this helped

  • GarageBand Not Opening After Recent Update, iOS 8

    I updated GB today, already updating to iOS 8, and now I cannot access GB.  I will not reset GB as I will lose all my music in there, I assume.  Please tell me what will be done or what I need to do.  I am using this on my iPad mini with Retina display.  Thanks.

    Well, I can't back up anything without being able to access it through the GB on my iPad mini.  I appreciate your help.
    How are you usually backing up your iPad? Either an iCloud backup (see: iCloud: Backup and restore overview) or a backup by syncing with iTunes will save all app data, including your garageband projects.
    WWhat are the exact steps I need to take to reset GB?  Thank you.
    You reset Garageband in the Settings app:
    Open the "Settings" app.
    Scroll all the way down to the "applications" and select "GarageBand". Enable "Reset".

  • My imessage is not Working after recent update

    My daughters iMessage &amp; FaceTime no longer work after recent update, can anybody help please?

  • After recent updates from Apple, Mail will not open.

    After recent updates from Apple the mail icon on the bar will not open.  Only way to access mailis through Google, rather than the dock.

  • ITunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update

    iTunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update - I have attempted an un/reinstall - can anyone offer other suggestions?
    I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and am trying to reinstall the 64-bit iTunes from the iTunes website.  I previously have had this working for the last few years with no major issues, the Apple Software Updater has been pestering me for some time so I finally got it to update.  However now iTunes will not start, if I select the icons nothing happens.  There are no iTunes applications running in the background in Task Manager either.
    I look forward to your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    James.

    1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    3.  If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime.  START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.
