Background All running programs on your Mac are processes. This includes both applications that you open and faceless background processes, i.e. processes without a graphical user interface (GUI), such as mds (the Spotlight metadata server) or cupsd (the CUPS printing daemon). Activity Monitor shows a list of all running processes. Finder is an application, hence it is a process. Processes can launch other processes, known as child processes. For example, the
The Application Finder Can't Be Opened 10810 Error
launchd (launch daemon) process opens many background processes when you start up or log in to your Mac; launchd is the parent process and each process it opens is a child process of launchd. Mac OS X tracks running processes in a process table. Mac OS X has a default limit of 266 user processes per account. You can see this limit by issuing the Terminal command ulimit -a and noting the max user processes value. Once this limit is reached, the process table is full: new processes cannot be started until a currently running process terminates, hence new applications cannot be opened. If you attempt to open a new application when the process table is full, an alert dialog will appear showing error code -10810, e.g. The application appname.app can't be opened. -10810 where appname is the name of the application you attempted to open.
