OS X error -10810

I got this error and the following message posted to syslog when executing a webserver script with applescript in it.
2/5/09 7:11:03 PM osascript[18828] _RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.
What does it mean and how can I work around?
TIA,
Tom

What it means is that the AppleScript tried to connect to the GUI, but it can't because it doesn't have permission (it's likely running as an unprivileged user_www that cannot interact with the GUI running for another user.
There might not be anything specific in the code that needs the GUI - AppleScripts tend to want to connect to the GUI anyway. Either way there's not much you can do about it. If the script is doing what you want then just ignore the warnings.

Error -10810 when launching applications

Hi, I have a Core 2 Duo LED screen MacBook Pro that I upgraded to Leopard. I did a clean install, and then imported my settings and documents using the migration assistant.
When I try to launch certain applicatons, I get the following error message: "The application "(Application Name)" cannot be launched. -10810".
The (Application Name) is the name of the application that cannot be launched. So far, it's happened with the following applications: Quicktime, Parallels Desktop, Google Earth, Slingplayer, Photoshop CS3, Safari, Quicksilver, and more. If I restart, then this problem stops with some applications, but keeps on going with others. There seems to be no pattern with this error, it just happens sometimes, and then doesn't. Can anyone help?

In my machine, I have traced the problem to a bug in Microsoft IntelliPoint Mouse Driver Software Version 6.0 (v.147).
The problem manifests itself when the wireless mouse battery is running low. When this happens, the Mouse Driver causes a dialog box to appear on the screen letting you know that your mouse is critically low. It has a way of dismissing the alert or postponing it until later.
The problem is that neither of these function properly. If I postpone or dismiss, the Driver software immediately spawns a new dialog, over and over and over.
I like to run my batteries down completely, so I moved the alert into the background. This is when things started to act up and I started to get the 10810 messages.
When I replaced my batteries in the mouse, the dialog boxes stoppped and the error 10810 stopped.

ERROR -10810

Hello,
without any warning, I am being told at random times by my computer: "Impossible to lauch Application (Error -10810)". After a while applications stop working and the computer freezes. Then, I need to restart the computer and applications work for a while until the same problem happens again.
I've tried to use Disk Utility and use the Repair Disk Authorizations button, but the problem still exists.
I need help from someone, thank you.

Open the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and keep an eye on what it reports as you use the computer; if that error message appears, check to see if one process appears repeatedly in the list.
That error message means that there are 100 or more processes running; when the number of running processes is at or above this limit, only root can create any additional ones.

Error 10810 occurs when running with SCXI

Iam running an LV example program in RT(PXI-8176,Daq Device PXI-6052E)and i have a SCXI 1520,seven 1125 & one 1102b modules in my SCXI Chassis.When i run example acquisition program iam able to acquire from module 1 & 2(i.e 1520 & one 1125)but from my 3rd module to the rest of modules i'm not able to acquire.I get an error saying that "Error-10810 unexpected error in Group config" what could be the reason?

Hello,
The problem is probably related to a conflict between the driver and the controlling module in your SCXI chassis. I have heard of this problem before when trying to acquire data from an SCXI-1125 that is slot 3 or higher of a SCXI chassis running in RT, and it resulted with that exact error.
There was no fix such as upgrading to a newer version of the driver or anything like that. Rather, the problem was shown to occur only when the SCXI-1125 module was used to control the SCXI chassis. If they used any module other than the 1125 to control the chassis, then there was no problem.
My suggestions to you are to try this exact thing - do not use an SCXI-1125 module as the controller for your chassis. If this doesn't happen to be the case, or this does not
work out for you, then please post back to this discussion so we might be able to solve this problem. If you happen to post back, please list some more information such as driver version, OS, SCXI chassis, controlling module/slot, etc.
Best of luck.

How to solve error 10810?

Error 10810
Hello, I have a macbook pro 2009.
I got some messages " your startup disk is almost full"
Now I got a blue screen with the message "error 10810 has occured"
I can't work with my mac.
Please help me
Thanks

Hello nrazel,
I recommend this article named Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck found herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Resolution
Try a Safe Boot
If you're using Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you can start up your computer in Safe Mode, which includes an automatic disk check and repair. If you're using Mac OS X 10.1.5 or earlier, skip to the next section. A Safe Boot, which starts up your computer into Safe Mode, may allow you to start up your computer successfully using a reduced version of the system software. To do this, follow these steps:
Start up in Safe Mode.
After the system has fully started up, restart your computer again normally.
If the computer successfully restarts, you do not need to do any more troubleshooting. If the issue persists, try Disk Utility.
Try Disk Utility
Start from the Recovery System or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion or Mountain Lion).
If your computer shipped with a Mac OS X Install disc, insert the installation disc, and restart the computer while holding the C key.
If using a Recovery partition or Internet Recovery (OS X Lion and later): When your computer finishes starting up, choose Disk Utility from the Utilities window.
If using an installation disc: Choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: If you started from an installation disc, do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must start from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
Select your OS X volume.
Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Tip: With Mac OS X v10.6 and earlier, always start up your computer from an Install or Restore disc when using Disk Utility to verify or repair your startup volume. Otherwise, you might see some disk error messages.
All the best,
Sterling

Finder not opening/ Error 10810

Hey!
I have recently update Mac OS X to 10.6.6 from 10.6.2. It's been running great, but after quitting an app from the Mac App store, Finder just did not appear. The toolbar on the top of the screen was not appearing, and when clicked the Finder icon on the dock, it gave a message: "Finder.app cannot open -10810". I had no other choice than to Force Shut down my computer my holding the power button on my computer. After restarting, I was able to open Safari, but Finder would still not open. I force shut down my machine again and the sane problem happened again! I read a couple of posts on the discussion board and tried to turn it off (not the way I would like to turn off my beloved iMac :P) and disconnected my external hard drive. I turned it on and it's working fine...
HELP PLEASE!
Christopher

See Finder Error -10810 in Snow Leopard causing problems and:
The following have been suggested as possible solutions:
1. If you're using 10.3, you need to get rid of the following:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.6B.csstore
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
(where '~' means your Home directory, i.e. '/Users/yourname')
2. If you have Virex or other virus software installed, try uninstalling it. Be sure to use uninstallers that come with the software because simply deleting the application does not fully uninstall most virus software.
After deleting the referenced files above you will want to do a restart. Then use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder to repair permissions.
The problem can also be caused by USB drives connected to the computer and/or third-party modifications to one or both of the USB drivers in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folders. If you have any third-party USB drivers installed try booting into safe mode to see if that eliminates the error.
In general restarting the computer should resolve the error, but if it's being caused by other software installed then the error will recur eventually.

Program not running, error -10810

i was using flash on my ibookk G4, they i closed the progam and later tried to work on it again, however this time there appears a window, which reads: An unexpected error has occured, error -10810.
really need help, dunno whats happening with my computer

Irene:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I have been unable to determine until now exactly what your error message means. A few questions, if you don't mind.
1. +i was using flash+
By that do you mean a USB jump drive?
2. +i closed the progam and later tried to work on it again+
Can you tell us exactly what program you were working on? And by "closed" do you mean quit? Was this program on the internal HDD or on the "flash drive"?
3. Did you remove the flash drive and replace it?
Before you respond here are a couple of things you can do.
1. *Repair Disk Permissions*
While booted from your internal HDD
Go to (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left column and First Aid in main column.
Click Repair Disk Permissions at bottom left.
2. Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Please do post back with responses to my queries and with an update on the procedures above.
Cheers

Finder.app doesn't start error -10810

Hope someone can help:
Restarted the computer and the finder app doesn't start anymore showing error -10810 (The application Finder.app can't be opened)
The top menu bar doesn't show and no app can be started. Safari says: You can't use this version of the application Safari.app with this version of MAC OS X
ps. the cdrom doesn't work!

I repaired permissions from the SL DVD a few times and nothing changed.
Finder starts then closes.
Any app I run ends up in a Problem Report dialog with the SIGTRAP exception type.

Open command fails with error -10810

Switching from 10.4 to 10.5.3 I can no longer launch applications from the command line using the open command. For example:
some bloke's macbook$ open TextEdit.app
LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810.
Seems to be some kind of permissions issue since it does work if I sudo open. Anyone know how to fix this?

It's interesting, yogh's post above might be the reason it's failing for you.
Based on that post, I removed execute permissions from the TextEdit binary in /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS, then tried to use open to run the application. Here's what I get:
% open -a TextEdit
LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810.
Now, it may be that the above error is generic and could be generated by several things, but as yogh suggested it may be something to check...

Error -10810: what's that?

I just installed leopard. Erase and install, then I copied my setting back using migration assistant.
I am going through my programs to see if everything works.
One weird thing, it happened twice since yesterday: all of a sudden, many if not all programs refuse to open (terminal, disk utility, activity monitor, etc., but also non apple programs (office, quicken, ecc.).
The message is "The application "<name of the application>" cannot be launched. -10810".
In addition, i have stuff in the trash, and if I try to empty it, I get the message "the operation cannot be completed becaus you do not have sufficient privileges".
Mine is an administrator account.
When I restart, everything is working back.
Has anybody seen this -10810 error? What happens? What triggers it? How to avoid it?
Thanks for helping.

Hi,
I don't use bin-it. I removed most of pre-leopard software from login items, as well as less used preference panels and menu-only applications.
Anyway, this **** -10810 error re-appers. It is quite ramdom (its appearance), but once there, I could not open other applications. The only way to fix it is to reboot.
Furthermore, once -10810 error appears, I can't open any further applications (an unexpected error -10810 occurred) but the ones already opened continue to work, I can't empty the trash (not enough privileges), I can't mount disk images (too many threads).
If I force quit the finder, I can open new applications but after few seconds, the error -10810 is back again.
If I reboot, everything is back working. If I run disk utility, privileges and disk appear to be OK. So there is something that screws things up, but without knowing what that **** error code means, it will be though to try to fix it.
Does anybody know where to get info about that error code, what it is... or, how to contact directly somebody at apple support who can explain what that -10810 error means, what triggers it, how to fix it etc.?
Thanks a lot.

ERROR -10810: Finder cannot lauch anything!!!

My Macbook pro feb 2008 is up to date.
I've just reinstalled the OS initializing my HD through the included DVD. As it happened when I first used it (April 2008), the message comes again!

What does error -10810 mean ?

Hi ... What does error -10810 mean ? I could find anything on Google for this.

It's a process table error, usually indicating a buggy third-party app. See the explanation here.
A tricky point about searching for Mac errors in Google: always remove the minus sign. If you search for (say) os X error -10810, Google will interpret the minus sign as a request to exclude all pages that contain the string 10810, which is exactly what you don't want.

Open -a "lmenaria.app" LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810

Hello every one,
I have created a Java application for MAC, so I have configured .app. Its working fine. But now my friend got the issue while opening with double click on it, it just blink some times and failed to open.
When tried using open -a "lmenaria.app" then its shows error LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810.
When it runs using command line, it works.
Go to "/Applications/lmenaria.app" directory and applied a command
java -jar Contents/Resources/Java/lmenaria.jar, the app starts up.
So what is the issue, Please let me know.
Thanks,
Laxmilal

Issue could be related to anything...the above thread is just one example. You might try running Application Monitor to see if there are multiple threads related to one app that have run amok...
It may be related to your friends computer/environment...try another computer.
