I updated my MacBook pro early 2015 to 10.15 beta 5 from beta 1. Suddenly, when I click the Applications folder it says that "Could not open the file because the original file can't be found" or something like that (My mac is in greek and I can't do exact translation).
Applications folder not working in catalina beta 5
I found the solution by myself after a couple of minutes but I think it would be better to share with the community. Here are the steps I followed:
- Download any .dmg disk image from the internet (I did cleanmymac x but anything should do it).
- Open it and click on the Applications folder shortcut Don't drag the file, you don't have to install it.
- On the applications folder that appears, drag the tiny folder icon from the window bar and replace the broken folder on the favorites bar located on the left
- If necessary, repeat it for the dock if it's broken there as well.
- Remove the old folder that doesn't work
- Either install, or unmount the Application you downloaded.
This is my first post and I really hope I helped.
This worked for me, thanks!
