I’m sorry. TotalFinder no longer works under El Capitan Beta2. Apple decided to block injections into Finder.app.
Please read On System Integrity Protection in El Capitan, OSX 10.11 for more info.
Just got the latest upgrade - and install FAILED. the error message took me to this page… Tried this workaround, but it hasn’t done anything… whats it supposed to do? Im in OS X 10.10.3

On El Capitan Developer Preview 5 i just received a weird error message, when i try to run the app manualy, which says:
“TotalFinder is not open anymore”… and also the appleevents notification.
I’ve been having this exact problem since yesterday’s update. Even going back to an earlier version didn’t fix the problem. 1.7.3 has fixed it. TotalFinder launched right away without issue.
On OSX 10.10.5 - had issues with finder lag - so I removed ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. TotalFinder crashed, and now won’t startup. Unintalled & reinstalled thinking maybe there was some setting that was a dependency and only written on installation, however TotalFinder still won’t startup.
It generates a system notification that sends me to this thread.
I just updated to 1.7.0 today, didn’t have this problem before, now TotalFinder fails with this bug, and the workaround does not help.
I am running 10.9.5, on a 2011 iMac.
Normally I don’t get to use TotalFinder for long, anyway, it freezes, and I have to start Finder.
Can you open Console.app and filter All Messages with “Finder” keyword and look what other error messages are there during TotalFinder launch?

For some security reason TotalFinder.app cannot deliver apple events to your running Finder.app.
This looks like some special setup of your OS. I don’t know how technical your are. Can you please double-check that TotalFinder.app is present in /Applications of your system and not anywhere else? Can you check that TotalFinder.osax is present in /Library/ScriptingAdditions and not anywhere else?
Can you try to create a new pristine user account on your system, log under it and try launching TotalFinder there?
I have this problem since macOS Sierra.
Me too on one machine, no problems on my MacBook now on macOS Sierra but on my iMac which I just updated TF doesn’t work, tried rebooting the machine and the workaround in Terminal, didn’t fix the problem so far.
Ever since upgrading to Sierra I’m getting the error message “Troubles launching Total Finder - Apple Events cannot be delivered”. The “Read More” button links to this thread.
Here’s a paste of the terminal output and console logs after creating a ~/.debug-totalfinder-injection file, relaunching Finder (force quit isn’t an option anymore), and launching TotalFinder from the terminal:
I experienced the same when upgrading to Siera on a MacMini - simply reinstalling TotalFinder fixed the issue for me.
To get TotalFinder back up and running I had to do the following:
-
Run the following command in Terminal:
sudo killall -KILL appleeventsd -
Open Activity Monitor and Force-quit any active TotalFinder processes.
-
Delete TotalFinder from the Applications folder on the system.
-
Download and reinstall TotalFinder.

I just installed 1.9.1, the version that was supposed to have no problems with SIP, and I am getting this message. I’ve beeen trying everything you guys mentioned here to no avail.
@sambatyon Did you manage to resolve the issue? Maybe shoot me an email to support@binaryage.com and we can walk through the installation together. I have some diagnostics shell scripts which should give us more info what went wrong.
Hey, thanks @darwin, I figure it out, I had to disable SIP before installing and enable after installing, not enabling SIP before installing. Once I did that all worked again.

After upgrading to Majove 10.14.4, I accidentally rejected the AppleEvents permission and ended up in a dead-end.
I’ve followed the instructions as suggested by @darwin, reinstalled TotalFinder several times, disabled/enabled csrutils before the installation, deleted all the files related to TotalFinder, etc. However, none of the variations triggered the access permission dialog box again.
$ tccutil reset AppleEvents
The command above resets the authorization access which fixed the problem.

After upgrading to Big Sur today, I came across the same issue. sudo killall -KILL appleeventsd does not solve the issue.
