I'm trying to download an app that is not from the app store and it needs my administrations name and password

I need help, I want to download the app called 'popcorn time' from online. I know it has no side effects because my friend has used this app for a number of years on her mac computer. I found it on the internet and have nearly downloaded it but my security system won't let me I followed the instructions to get the security system to make an exception for this app but at the end of the instructions it has a log-in pop up that says  "OS X is trying to allow an item to always run. Type an administrator's name and password to allow this." I don't know what it means by an administrators name and password I typed my apple ID but this didn't work. I checked if i had the right password and i did and i have tried it multiple times but it still doesn't work this is very frustrating and I need to fix it

Answered in the other thread you posted in:
i am trying to download new software and my mac keeps asking for the administrator name and password... i enter my apple…
Please don't post in more than one place. It can lead to people wasting their time answering a question which has already been answered elsewhere.

  • HT1386 When I update my IPad to the IOS 5 system will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITunes store?

    I have an IPad 2.  I want to update it to an IOS 5.  Will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITune store?

    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings  - so make sure you backup first. If something goes awry when you update, with regard to apps, you can download them again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • If I update to 7.1 will this delete apps that were pulled from the app store? (Flappy Bird)

    I'm wondering when the time comes to update to 7.1, will this delete apps that were pulled from the app store (in this instance, Flappy Bird)
    Thanks so much.

    You should always have a recent back up of your phone. If you have a copy of the app on your computer, you can always restore it to the device.

  • How can I save the apps that I purchased from the App Store?

    Does anyone know if you can somehow save apps that you purchased so you don't have to buy it again?

    You should always sync them to your computer:  File>Transfer Purchases and you should alwys maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You can redownload any apps for free that are still available in itunes:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Is it possible to copy free apps that are not on the App Store anymore to multiple iPhones through iTunes sync?

    I have an old app on my iPhone that is able to run on ios7 but has now been deleted from the app store. I was wondering if iTunes sync would allow me to put it onto multiple iPhones with no problems - The iPhones that I want to copy it to are all the same (iPhone 5s), the app is on an iPhone 5s 16GB and I want to put it on an iPhone 5s 32GB.
    Thanks Tyler.

    Thank you.  Your reply is very helpful.
    I've never chosen to delete unused apps in my library because I was worried that if, in the future, one was of interest, that I'd have to re-purchase... so this is not the case then, right?  (I'd felt secure knowing that an app was stored on my computer... More than once, I've had to revert to backups and was glad to have copies of my apps safely stored away.) 
    I've been slow to adopt anything "cloud" so am not well versed on the benefits of using it.  So, just to be clear, if I delete an unused app in my local iTunes library, it will forever remain available in the cloud linked to my account, right?

  • How to add music videos that are not from the itunes store?

    This drives me CRAZY that iTunes will allow me to classify my .mp4 music videos that I get from other sources (NOT bought from the iTunes store) as a Music Video but iTunes STILL keeps it classified under the Movie listing. Does anyone know how I go about or what is needed to get my music video files in the Music Video list?
    While I'm at it...
    It also bugs me that I can't organize my library properly. For example, I have a music performance/concert video and instead of having it in a separate list of "Musical Performances", iTunes contains it under Movies. This is a first for me to complain about my iTunes experience but I just wish there would be some flexibility for me to add content and categorize/list it under my personal preferences. Anything wrong with that?

    If you go to the Get Info menu and set Video Kind to Music Video it will only appear in your music library, and not in the Movie section.
    The tool VideoDrive (www.aroona.net) will automatically classify all your videos when you import them in iTunes, based on file and folder name, the length of the video and other metadata...

  • How can i download an app that i bought from the app store but is no longer avalaible?

    hi, i recently changed my iphon from 4 to 5 and when i try to re-install the apps i found that tubebox is no longer available on the app store. how can i get the app now?

    First, make sure that sync automatically is disabled: iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Then connect your iPad, do not sync, right-click in the left device pane: Transfer Purchases.
    That should put it in your app library, & if a universal app, just sync it to your phone.

  • HT201272 What is it with songs that are not from the itunes store, but are coming from cd's and other download sources that all of a sudden do not play on my iphone and have a red stop button in a red round circle around them, behind the title?

    Songs that I have had previously downloaded from various other sources, but NOW ALL of a sudden they DO NOT PLAY on my IPHONE and DISPLAY a RED STOP BUTTON in a red round circle next to the title.  Everytime I click on it it DOESNT play.   What happen???? How can i get them to play.,   Why should i have to pay for the songs, and why are they in the ITUNES store and not in my regular playlist.

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

  • I accidentally deleted an app that was removed from the App Store on my iPod touch 3G and I really need it back, can I?

    I deleted the app ifunny and I use it almost every day...SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

    Each country's governement sets the rules for commerce in their nation - so things like copyright can limit foreign use, plus tax laws and such.  For any intellectual property (software, books, music, audio, video), it is mostly copyright restrictions that limit cross border retail sales.

  • Why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks

    why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks?

    Sorry no mind readers here so you have to tell us details, context and any error messages - just stating an abstract problem that could have thousands of causes is not enough
    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what has changed since it worked? How are you trying to open it (clicking on the icon in the Dock, double clicking on the application in the applications folder, ???)?
    Anything else you can tell a total stranger who can not see you or your computer to let them assist you?

  • Trouble running "Universal Windows app that consumes data from the Azure Marketplace" sample

    I am trying to run the sample titled "Universal Windows app that consumes data from the Azure Marketplace". I am not sure how to enter the credentials for the Zillow APIs.  I obtained a key from Zillow, but when I enter it per the instructions
    in the sample, I still get an unauthorized (401) error.  
    The instructions say  Insert that key into the SampleDataSource file of your project in place of the string "Your account key goes here".
    So I replaced my key in this line of code:
    request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("<Your account key goes here>",
                                        "<Your account key goes here>");
    Am I missing something else?

    Hi isgimaryann,
    I would suggest you ask question at:
    https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Universal-app-that-d7406c5b/view/Discussions#content to see if the owner of the sample will give you some suggestions.
