How to solve error 10810?

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:

1. Start up in Safe Mode.
2. 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your OS X volume.
6. 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,

I have a 2009 iMac running 10.8.5 and encountered the dreadful error 10810 (in conjunction with stalling and ultimately freezing).

After running "exec ps gaxlww" on the Terminal, I saw that the process causing trouble (too many entries filling up the table) was the Twainbridge application in Image Capture (in the Systems/Library folder), which is used in connection to my Canon Lide 70 scanner. This was confirmed by removing the application, after which everything was running smoothly - was was however strange because I hadn't changed the software at all for a long time.

What I discovered was the ultimate cause of this was that I had unplugged the USB hub that was powering the scanner - so the scanner communicated with the Mac but probably did not have enough external power to follow through tasks. When I simply plugged the USB back in, the process overflow stopped and everything went back to normal.

Hope that helps someone with this particular instance of the problem!
