file cant be found

I receive a ""file name" can't be found" message after moving a file on my computer but once I reboot the computer I am able to open the file in its new location. This happened after updating my Mac.

If this is a one-off glitch I would ignore it.

Shutting down and restarting more than once after an update can side step many temporary glitches in the process.

This is not a one off glitch. I have this error often in Ventura. After moving or copying files (usually images) I cannot open the file on the first try. If I try one or two more times it will open. It's almost as if it is still copying but it's not. I usually don't have to reboot or anything. It feels like a APFS issue.

I also have this issue for several months now. It is incredibly frustrating and I am unable to find a solution anywhere. I am running Ventura 13.2.1 and have rebuilt the spotlight index already.

Apple Support just told me macOS 13.3 (now available) should fix this.

I upgraded to Ventura 13.3 a few days ago and this bug still constantly appears.

same here, and I cannot find my post about it, looks like apple deleted it. Its a Ventura issue, and has NOT been resolved.

Ditto. A month after your post it's still happening, at least to me. I have OS13.3.1(a)

This bug appears to have been permanently resolved for me since 13.4. Thank you Apple!
