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.

  • 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."

  • 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 Safari can't be opened -1712

    Has anyone seen this error message when trying to open the Safari application?

    Thank you

    Thanks Carolyn!
    Force Quitting within Activity Monitor is a quick and efficient way to handle most Applications "Not Responding" or seeming not to open with error -1712.
    It can also work great for an Application that "Freezes" and is giving the spinning beach ball
    Just be aware that you may lose any unsaved work by force quitting an application.

  • Just installed os x maverick and updated my version of pages now when I try to open a document stored in pages format from old version get message "The Application "pages" can't be opened -1712  What is wrong?

    Just updated to new version of pages.  Now can not open stored documents created under al pages.  Get message "the application pages can' be opened -1712"  hat do I do?

    Apple released Pages 5.0 to run on Maverics only. They completely rewrote the program for Maverics and 64 bit compatibility. They failed to explain that this version is missing much of the previous version's capability and that it cannot read older Pages files. When they install it they leave the older Pages 4.3 in place because it is the only way to read the older Pages files and upgrade them to a level that can be read by Pages 5!
    If you still have Pages 4.3 on your computer it will tell you what to do. If you do not then go into your backups and retrieve it.
    Because of the deficiences of Pages 5 I have removed it from my Mac and gone back to working with Pages 4.3. I have also removed Pages 2 from my iPad and found Pages 1.7 in the Time Machinew backups and brought it forward and droped it onto the iTunes icon to restore it and then synced the iPad to get the Pages 1.7 running again - it is compatible with Pages 4.3 on the Mac so all is back to normal for me.
    Apple say that they will fix many of the deficiences in Pages 5 in the next six months. I suggest you wait until then and keep an eye on these communities beforte considering the "upgrade".
    Incedentaly Pages 5.0 writes files that cannot be read by anything else including Pages 4.3 - better hope no one sends you one! It does not save RTF either - what where they thinking!

  • 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.
    the update to 10.6.8 for free?
    Yes.  Use Software Update.
