Right in the face the crap came back the file can't be found downloaded a zip file and
unpak 1 click the files can't be found second click okay incredibly annoying. Something is
very wrong somewhere but what.
it's something apple needs to fix, and we just need to ride it out. it's a small inconvenience (at least, on a second click, files open). hope they sort it with the next update 🙄Using Built-in zip + Keka same result file cannot be found. Been using Mac since 2001 and can't remember experiencing anything like this in those years. Everything started with Ventura 13.1 as far as I can see.
Have decided to erase the entire internal HDD/SSD and install clean Ventura 13.2 and test unpack Zip files after this test not use the Time machine backup but copy only the programs and documents + images manually and some important folders in Application Support.
Nothing I dream of doing.
I'll be back like someone said.
Thanks for the update. I am sure that despite the rocky start you'll love the Mac.On my MacBook Pro, I duplicated a project folder on (my/our University's OneDrive) containing stuff from two projects today and then cleaned out different things in the two folders. Now when I doubleclick any of the several files (types .docx, .pdf., .jpg) in either folder, I get "“Filename.xxx” can’t be found." However, if I do File/Open in the corresponding app (MS Word, Adobe Acrobat, Preview), I can open them all without any problems. So the files are there, they are not corrupted, Finder can show them to me, but cannot "find" them - how crazy is that?
The problem concerns all files in the top level folder, but not files in folders below that. In neighboring folders it is opposite, I can open by double-clicking in the parent folder, but not in folders below.
I just switched to Mac from Windows, and I must say I am a bit shocked to find issues like this. It is definitely not the first issue I encounter. My expectation was the Mac was this monolithic system, carefully built up and adjusted over decades and rock solid, but I must say that I find my old Windows PC more reliable. But the sound is awesome ;-)
(PS. I have not rebooted yet, so curious to see if that fixes the issue)
Greetings.
I spent 4 hours with Apple support the past few days, and while I don't know if this is the right answer for all, it has to do with the login items for apps that maybe have been deleted but are still lingering on the system, particularly within LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons. I learned that with Ventura, the login setup pages shows all apps that are firing up at startup. One can then slide on or off. With previous OS versions, its not so clear cut. I'll see if I can located the website again but...
Steps would be as follows.
1. Go to Finder
2. Go to "Go" in the menu
3. Drop down to "Go to folder" near the bottom.
4. Type in Launch. You should then see the two items LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons. Look to see if you have old apps that you've deleted but still have remnants here. Consider deleting them.
5. I was then told to do the same thing again, but this time hold the option key, hit go again, drop down to "go to folder" and do the same search. Repeat. You can look at the source, and of course, don't delete anything that is an apple function. Otherwise you can blow things up within your system. You could just skip this system option and stick with #4 to see how it goes.
I probably had 20 apps still trying to run at startup. We deleted one at a time, rebooted, and kept doing it but eventually the "the file can't be found" disappeared.
What's strange, and I guess it's why Apple redesigned Ventura, is that the user would have no idea that these things are still hanging around. Nothing nefarious (though the screen viewing apps were the worst offenders), but still sketchy that they could have been used for bad things.
Good luck.
The problem was gone after a restart, which is nice, but such incidents really disrupts my workflow. It runs Ventura 13.2.1.Thanks for the update. I am sure that despite the rocky start you'll love the Mac.
Please do restart. Which Ventura version are you running? I assume it is the latest.
Running Ventura 13.2.1 on a new MBA, and I get that error message sometimes too. Using the Go menu, and selecting the Go to Folder, type in Launch, and nothing happens, the search shows nothing.Greetings.

The whole "iCloud" concept is in its infancy and IMHO not to be trusted. You do have your document folder backed up, don't you? As on a CCC backup disk? If not get it soon, for a free 30 day trial.Apple's icloud removed my documents folder. Which had 55 sub folders. Evidently I will have to create all those folders again, to select all from the folders on the icloud, in order to get the data back to my macbook pro.
What fun Apple has become.
