This is not only ridiculous, this is utter stupidity. What is the difference in simply being able to select to download from anywhere, than having to go through this pain of disable and enable by the use of commands, but that it is making my experience with using a mac to be a most dreaded one. I am more often dragging out my Windows laptop, because all is simple, rather than going through this royal pain just to do what I want to do on my laptop.
And there are other things about the mac that is a pain in the behind, but this one is the worst. Another pain is that I simply would like to create a shortcut on my desktop and also have the icon in the menu bar, but I keep having to read and read to find out what long process I must go through in order to do this, what should be a very simple task, just to get this done. I hate that I have purchases a mac because I do not enjoy my time being made a misery.
I simply want to get on my laptop and do what I want to do, without such misery. By the time I go through these long stupid processes to do something that should be very simple, I am too tired, mentally exhausted from having to search and search and read and read to find out what to do, that should be just a simple little task to do, to even do what I came to my laptop to do. After I do all of that, and try to install Adobe CS5.
Friggin thanks! I use JiTouch to expand my magic mouse capabilities. Its a pref pane so there is no control clicking it to make it open every time. Apple support was unable to help me. Finally found your fix and the world is a good place again. Thank you. By the way, how can I completely replace sierra with windows10 on a macbook air and an imac ? Hi I followed all the instructions above, but I still get an error message when I click on Bibisco to launch it. I have a screen capture of the error but cannot include it here.
This was very helpful! Thank you very very much! I was on the phone with Apple Technical service for more than 3-hours. Anybody experienced this as well? Thanks so much. This helped me. I tried this but it asked for an admin password with a key icon. Where do I find the admin password? Hi, guys! I tries every step described above but is not working.
I have the admin password but I cant do anything with it. I bought the computer a week ago from a guy who gave me all the data he thought I might need. I went to the Apple store and the guys from there told me that the comp is locked in some way by i dont know what sort of directory from the selling company and that I have to talk to them in order to I dont know what because I dont understand much from this SF language.
And this is not the only weird issue I have with the computer. But I am already at Sierra. Or trying to run Imovie I bumped into: you cant use this because the comp belonged to another user. What do I do? Do I have to reinstall the system? I have also windows in Bootcamp and I am not sure how complicated this would be. Thanks for help in advance. Thanks for this! I have a question though… Initially, by mistake, I entered the following into the terminal:. And nothing else!
A load of type came up. I am not at all conversant with these things, I wonder, has entering this alone caused any problems for my Mac? Any guidance on this is much appreciated! We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:. This is nice to know but I am not happy.
The average customer is not going to even go see that they can allow your app to run, much less do something on the command line. This is not about security.
This is about Apple exerting as much control and extracting as much money as possible. Please stop excusing it as about security. Security is not that hard without such restriction.
I where having trouble to install folx. If there is still someone here a little help would be really great. As before??? It gives me the option to install it anyway but when I hit ok i get this msg.
Have a couple programs for work that would no longer work after I updated my OS. This was an easy fix! Apple make much more money charging huge premuims on phones and mobile apps than selling laptops to developers, and clearly thinks increasing margins is more important than market share. Basically, install Linux. Actually I hate it that Apple takes away choices the users previously had.
Apple took away the acces to the Library to prevent that some stupid people make mistakes. That was easy to pass by, but still Apple is trying to take our freedom without explaining and without giving different options. I just want to keep my personal choice. I seldom pass the safety preferences of apple, only so once in a while, and I restore the default settings immediately there after. Step by step Apple is taking over as a advanced Big Brother that knows best, instead of educating people.
It is a vicious world out there, but the fact is that the number of truly malicious apps is small. Apple is getting annoying and over thinking some of the simplest things. Each upgrade slows down the machine start up and we are now seeing the the spinning Windows disc as often as we used to see the egg timer on Windows. Apple are just getting greedy having grabbed so many niches in the market. Just revisit what happened to Blackberry, Nokia and almost to Microsoft and try to stop pissing off your customers.
Are you guys asleep or what. Heck, yeah, man. Open up your Mac to anything that wants to install. Go for it, the sky is the limit. The PC world is yours for the taking. Running Sierra My opinion as someone that used PCs for 20 years and then became a devout Mac user is that this is a bunch of hogwash i. I have been purchasing or obtaining non-approved apps since day 1 of my converting to Mac computers.
For years, I have used NeoOffice and paid a minor donation to the developer. An option in downloading apps other than that which Tim Cook et al feel we users can handle should be one of the options found without having to use a Terminal command. And if there are apps that are identified as malware or spam, then it would be nice if Apple or some other company could notify users rather than make a generalization that there are bad apps out there.
I have intensely used my iMac over the last 11 years and have never run into a problem with the many 3rd party apps that I have purchased or obtained for free. Give me a break. A good example in my case is that the upgrade to Sierra will not allow me to run a very important medical program called EndNote.
Right now devs are just to lazy to register as an Apple dev and sign their apps. A complete coincidence, of course. Come on. But as with so many things Apple, priority 1 is Apple, and 2 is the user—increasingly, it seems to me, a very distant second. The reality is that a well-designed interface like the one that existed before Mountain Lion, in fact is already perfectly good at warning users off from accidental invocations of rogue software, and although it can be hard to believe sometimes not everybody needs their hands held for them.
That would will? Yep, this is super useful. Click Open on the dialog that appears. I spent a couple years dragging SketchyApp. If you are confident about your security and seeking to access all applications by an unidentified developer, this step shows how to disable Gatekeeper on the Mac. To begin, open Mac System Preferences by clicking on Apple logo the menu bar at top of your screen, and then selecting System Preferences.
Click the lock icon in the bottom left corner of the window to grant access to adjust preferences. Locate the 'Allow applications downloaded from' option and select the last option named 'Anywhere'. A new warning message will pop up - select Allow From Anywhere. From this point, the Mac's Gatekeeper will stop blocking applications created by unidentified developers. The release of the macOS Sierra built-in protection tool called Gatekeeper resulted in more restrictions in the way applications created by unidentified developers are accessed.
The 'allow from anywhere' option is hidden by default, however, the built-in command line application can easily resolve this issue.
To start, close System Preferences and open Terminal via Spotlight by pressing the keyboard shortcut of Command and Spacebar, Then type Terminal and press return, or go to Applications, and then Utilities folder via Finder.
Once Terminal launches, type the following command and press return. The command line will ask you to confirm your actions with an administrator account password since sudo uses super user permissions. Click the lock in the bottom left corner of the window - you will then see an Anywhere option beneath the 'Allow apps downloaded from' line.
Select this option and agree with all warning messages. From this point, you will be able to launch applications created by unidentified developers, however, as mentioned above, express caution when opening this type of application. If your computer is used by a number of different users, leaving this option enabled is not recommended.
To revert the changes and re-enable the built-in Gatekeeper tool, disable the Anywhere option by selecting one of the other two: 'App Store' or 'App Store and identified developers'. If you wish to return everything to the default state, simply open Terminal, type the following command, and press Return. The safest place to get apps for your Mac is the App Store.

The safest place to get apps for your Mac is the App Store. If you download and install apps from the internet or directly from a developer, macOS continues to protect your Mac. When you install Mac apps, plug-ins, and installer packages from outside the App Store, macOS checks the Developer ID signature to verify that the software is from an identified developer and that it has not been altered.
By default, macOS Catalina and later also requires software to be notarized, so you can be confident that the software you run on your Mac doesn't contain known malware. The warning messages displayed below are examples, and it's possible that you could see a similar message that isn't displayed here.
Please use caution if you choose to install any software for which your Mac displays an alert. By default, the security and privacy preferences of your Mac are set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers.
