Hi, I am going crazy with this error, but I do not know very much how to use the terminal. I actually copied and pasted your $ ps aux etc and the terminal says command not found.

I have leopeard version 10.6.7 and am talking to someone in APPLE all they tell me is that I have to wait for an update.

I`ve had this problem since March 15th when I downloaded the safari update. Can you help?

Had the same issue for a few days. I’ve seen on another forum someone had this issue when the battery of his wireless mouse were almost empty. Changing the battery of my mouse seems to have fixed the problem, without rebooting.

Hope this help.

oh, for those who might wonder, you have to omit the ‘$’ at the beginning of my lines, they’re only there by custom to show a shell command line as a normal user (root would be ‘#’).

also, the process id is the second column from the left, right after the process owner (your username or root most of the time).

hope this helps.

i don’t know if you guys are still looking for the solution, but i think this has to do with the finder becoming a zombie process. you can get around this by opening a terminal (use spotlight), and type

$ ps aux | grep Finder

note the process id (PID) number, then type

$ sudo kill -9 $PID

where $PID=your Finder process id. after this, the finder should restart. if it doesn’t, just click its icon in the dock.

good ol’ unix..

This problem with error 10810 began after I installed Dropbox. I removed the Dropbox application, and so far, I am not getting this error.

This has been happening to me fairly often. Usually I reboot, but I just found another solution that seems to work, here:
http://utvv.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-fix-application-finder-cant-be.html

Simply go to terminal (I keep its icon in the dock) and type:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder &

It just happened to me yesterday. I have had a WD Passport plugged in off and on for weeks. I was using Photoshop (CS5). I finished and tried to shut down and got the – 10810 message. I was able to use Finder again by going thru Terminal and typing in a code found on another site. Finder works unless I close Terminal.

It started when I plugged WD Passport. And now the error shows on random actions
