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. Having to specifically allow unidentified apps is much safer than a open door.

I totally agree. This would and should be the preferred method for any proper Mac admin. Even if I control click. Any suggestions? Thank you so much! It works! I thought I was done for and I would of had to delete most of my apps! Yes, saw this method on other and did not work….. Great works. All Terminal and command line interfaces have a security feature where it looks as if you are not entering your password, but in fact you are.

Here is more info about this security feature:. Since the workbook is not an app although it contains macros , is there another security setting that might solve this issue? Thank you!!! Why oh why does Apple insist on being so obtuse? Name required. Mail will not be published required.

Maybe your system is one of those. Just give it a try. I have just downgraded virtualbox to 5. When you first create a new VM in virtualbox 5 there is not option in the pull down for a 64bit OSX only 32bit sierra listed?

When you enable Virtual Technology, it will 64 bit as well. The issue is an issue that too few people are speaking intelligently about.
