  • What does "finder can't be opened -1712" mean?

    I have a snow leopard on my imac and ever since I have installed Parallels. The finder will not open, my desktop is cleared of stuff I used to have, and the desktop wallpaper is the original mac wallpaper ( which i didnt have before), and whenever I move the mouse over to the desktop are the rainbow loading/ball thing is there and does not go away. Ever since then Finder will not open at all or none of the programs or folders that need to be opened by the finder. Also, the wifi will not connect ( just has an "!" next to it) so I have no way getting on the Internet on the imac. Since then it takes up longer to load up to the login screen, but the bootcamp to windows open up perfectly fine. I've tried to repair on the disk utility, but nothing happens. I've already deleted the parallels with the appcleaner and still nothing happens. Whenever I try to open something on finder it just pops up "Finder can't be opened -1712".

    Thanks,

    If you haven't already done so, restart the computer and try again. If an application won't quit and prevents restarting, force quit. As a last resort, force a shutdown by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to start up.

  • The application "Dropbox - test" can't be opened -1712

    I created two additional dropbox applications though Automator and they have been working fine with no problem along with my own normal Dropbox application. I have them all set to open on start up along with Google Drive so that they appear in the top bar on my Macbook Pro. They are also in the sidebar on Finder.
    The problem i am having is that when i start up my Mac, my normal original Dropbox opens and syncs however the other two don't open. When i go to Applications and click on either of the two to open then i am getting the message - The application "Dropbox - test" can't be opened -1712.
    I have been reading about this online and went to the Activity Monitor and forced quit these and they show up in red when i search for them. But then i still have no luck in opening them. I have allowed Applications to be opened from Everywhere in the System Preferences - Security section too.
    Its very strange how i have had this working with no problems and then it suddenly stops.
    Any help or suggestions anyone can give would be really appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • The application Microsoft Word can't be opened - 1712

    Now, suddenly, I cannot open it, or read/create any files, even though I can see the documents in my folders, and the light under the Icon is lit on the dock. When I open my Applications Folder, Word is shown as in there, but when I clicked on it, I saw the following pop up (error message?): The application Microsoft Word can't be opened - 1712. I have no idea how this happened, but I'm hoping that someone can tell me what to do about it. Any advice will be appreciated.

    You really should be asking this question on the MS Word forums.

    Suggest also that you tell us what version of Mac OS X you are running and what version of MS Word.

  • I keep getting "The application QuickTime player can't be opened" -1712

    I just upgraded to Lion on Thursday, and now I can't open QuickTime. Whenever I try to, I get the message "The application QuickTime player can't be opened" -1712
    Any ideas?

    Same here. I never had to download Adobe Reader when I was using Snow Leopard in order to open PDF's - it's supposed to be a built in feature of OS X to be able to click and open any PDF. Now I have to go and use external software (that's supposed to be built in already into the OS X) in order to open my files. I think this is a bug that Apple needs to sort out asap.

    What's going on?  Thanks

    What Pages on what hardware?
    If the problem is with older Pages '08 files they can't be opened with Pages 5.
    Some Pages '09 files have problems with Pages 5 because it removed so many features.
