Hi Brian,

You can still open any app by right-click (Control-Click) its icon, choosing 
Open, and then confirming that you want to open it. 
So you are not prevented from opening any apps, you are simply protected 
against opening apps from unidentified developers.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Security

Hi Bill

Just in with client, which is why quick replies (as just wanting for some 
software to install and quickly checking email between installs).
After you double click the DMG and then it opens a Finder window. Before you 
click anything else, that is where you need to hold down the Option key.
eg. You double click the DMG file. It opens to a “white disk looking icon” on 
the desktop. Then before you click whatever icon or installer is there, you 
hold down the Control key before you click on it. You’ll then get a pop up 
window that you choose “Open” from. the list.
It will ask if you want to approve the Application, and you then choose “open”. 
It should then open as normal.

If you want to keep it all the time, and it’s not an installer, but an icon of 
the Application itself, you drag it into your Applications folder.
Then go to Applications folder and before doubling clicking it, you then use 
the Control key method. Then the same steps to open it.

It should then open after that.

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Security

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Bill

If it’s a standard DMG file, then you should just be able to double click it 
and it will open. Then you can do the “right click” part to open the 
Application.
e.g., something like Handbrake does the same thing (as it’s not set to open, 
but you can still run it) - https://handbrake.fr

Im not familiar with the m-dvdcopy program exactly, but similar ones can 
sometimes do the same as they’re not set for gatekeeper or identified 
developers.
If the DMG doesn’t open with a double click, and it’s an older file, it could 
also be corrupted or another issue with it as well. As “generally” most DMG 
files will just open automatically I find.

Hope that extra info helps.

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Security

Hi Bill or Juliet

If you’re sure it’s an Application that is safe, you can right click on the 
Application (or Control click on it) to bring up the contextual menu, then 
choose “Open”. 
This will then ask if you want to open it with a “warning”. You can then choose 
“Open” and it will allow you to install/run the software.
As mentioned, as long as it’s one you’re fine running, then that should get it 
working.

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Security

[Ronni Brown]

Hello Juliet,

What operating system are you using? If it is macOS Sierra.

Gatekeeper in macOS Sierra is now stricter than ever, defaulting to only allow 
options for apps downloaded from either the App Store or the App Store and 
identified developers. 
Advanced Mac users may wish to allow a third option, which is the ability to 
open and allow apps downloaded from anywhere in macOS Sierra.


To be clear, the “Allow applications downloaded from anywhere” option is hidden 
by default in Gatekeeper for macOS Sierra. You can see this by going to the 
Security & Privacy preference panel, and under the “General” section you will 
not find such an option for Gatekeeper app allow settings. 
Despite that, with a little command line intervention you can reveal the third 
option and regain the ability to open apps that come from anywhere.

This is not recommended for most Mac users, only advanced Mac users and 
developers who have the ability to accurately gauge app validity should use 
this method, which involves disabling Gatekeeper from the command line, thereby 
removing the standard Gatekeeper security mechanisms in Mac OS.

I won’t send you the Terminal command unless you are very sure about the 
Application you wish to install and are fully aware of the security risk you 
take when installing an unidentified application.

Cheers,
Ronni

I have a down loaded app that I want to install but because it is not from
app store or identified source how do I overcome this.
