Whenever I use vim command, I get this error:

Error detected while processing /Users/boss/.vimrc:
line    6:
E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syntax.vim
Press ENTER or type command to continue

Whenever I try to do an ls command:

ls: /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/: No such file or directory

I found that the directory: /usr/share/vim/vim73/ doesn't exist! However, I found that the I have vim74 instead of vim73 (/usr/share/vim/vim74/).

How do I fix this?

Check file /Users/boss/.vimrc in 6 line probably in this line configured connection with syntax.vim from wrong pathy (for example from the old version of vim) I suspect that the problem is caused by an update vim.

You can try update this path to /usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/syntax.vim or $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim (if it variable correct defined). But pervously check that syntax definition file exists.

in my case, after update OS packages, vim73 updated to vim74.

VIMRUNTIME is the related variable for this that could be set in $HOME/.profile or set in /etc/profile as permanent to the new path(.../vim74/) dependence on your OS distribution
