  1. If you find yourself encountering this specific error, then the solution is to re-launch your Mac’s Finder, which can be done in several ways.Reboot your Mac — the most hands-off approach
  2. Log out of your account and log back in — another relatively hands-off approach
  3. Force-quit the Finder — the quickest approach

This last option can be done by pressing Option-Command-Escape (or choosing Force Quit from the Apple menu) and then choosing the Finder from the Force-Quit window and clicking the Relaunch button. Alternatively, you can hold the Option key and right-click the OS X Dock to reveal a “Relaunch” option. Finally, if you are savvy with the OS X Terminal, you can run the following command to re-launch the Finder:

killall Finder

When done, your Finder windows and desktop icons will disappear, and then re-appear after a few moments when the Finder is automatically re-launched.


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
