"........" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

I get the following warning every time I try to open a recently download application. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.3
"xxxxx' is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
How do I disable this warning for a particular application?
Update: problem solved. The Mac in question has multiple users, but only one user has administrator privileges. The problem was simply that the application in question had never been opened by the administrator. Once the administrator opened the application the warning went away.

If using a mouse, you can right click on the application installer this will give you an "Open with" popup and you can chooes to open the application installer using the standard installer.
Another method to do the same exact thing is to hold the Control key while left clicking on the Application installer will give you the exact same popup menu.

  • Disabling that"..is an application which was downloaded from the Internet."

    Downloaded Camino and use it. Now I do not want that warning anymore on every start. I do not give **** how Apple rates security of the file. I know the application is safe so I want to click some checkbox to disable warning on Camino start:
    '“Camino” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?'
    The only unsafe Camino is to Safari as recent version of Safari is really troubled with hick-ups and freezes while Camino seems to be very similar except that it does not have those issues Safari has.

    It is really Microsoft way. Can Apple get rid of that troll recenly hired in the company that makes Mac OS X now look like piece of... art that behaves so obnoxiously to a user? I cannot guess where Apple got those new ideas, but they definitelly look like some transplant from Vista and XP obnoxiousness. The only what comes to my mind is some folks that were contracted or hired from Microsoft. Shortsighted with narrow vision and lack of basic education on ergonomics of any user interface.
    Hey Apple I dropped Windows because of that! Why do you do this to me now?

    Okay. It looks like when copying from mounted .dmg file to Applications folder one needs to start Camino on that account and say once to allow start. This has to be done on account that was used to copy the file from downloaded .dmg.
    In my scenario, I have administrative account which is separate from users (and of course my own as I am not administrator daily). So Camino was bothering me until I went to administator account and started Camino once. Apparently it had to make some writings into hidden system files to rememeber the choice and the choice was made across accounts.
    I remember that similar issues were in Final Cut Express: you had to start the application from administrative account (the one that you used to install the application) once and after that you could easily go and use the application on other accounts at any time.
    Looks like this is some sort of pattern which I considered ill as user really should not need to do that pointless start on account that is not supposed to be used for the application. Installation account and use account should be interpretted as two separate with no overlap of preferences. Now this issue was in FCE,but as far as Camino... it sounds like Apple extends this lame pattern to security control and internal system preferences.

  • "Firefox.app" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet...

    This is a topic that has been posted before but I'm creating a new one because the previous discussion is closed and none of the answers solved my problem.
    Each and every time I launch Firefox, I receive the following warning, - “Firefox.app” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"
    For the record, I have tried the following fixes with no success:
    - Removed the Firefox folder from user/library/application support both as a user and as an admin.
    - I logged in to the Mac as an admin. and launched Firefox. The message continues to pop up after doing this, while still logged in as admin.
    - I logged in to the Mac as an admin, went to Terminal and listed the attributes. The "com.apple.quarantine" attribute does exist, however, when I tried removing it with (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <FILE NAME>), I am told that the attribute DOESN'T exist. Huh?
    I am trying to avoid completely removing Firefox and doing a fresh install but it may come down to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I had a similar problem with another application. I downloaded an update to an application from the developer, and then got this message every time I ran the program. There's a script to disable this behavior entirely on MacWorld's macosxhints site.
    I didn't want to disable this behavior for good, just for this one program. I realized that I had downloaded it as one user, but the first use (of the update) was as a different user. I logged in under the user ID that I used when I downloaded the application and ran the program. After that, the warning went away.
    My guess is that you did something similar. Log in as the user ID you used when you first downloaded the updated FireFox and run the program. The warning should go away.
    If you can't remember which user ID you used, try the brute force approach - log in as each of your user IDs and run FireFox.
    Good luck!

  • "Firefox" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet - Open?

    Everytime I go to open up programs (for example, firefox) I get a dialog box like this:
    “Firefox” is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
    Underneath it says "AppFresh downloaded this file on May 3, 2009". These programs are installed via an administrator, but I don't want to have to click yes every time on my standard account. What can I do?

    Peter:
    I don't want to have to click yes every time on my standard account.
    As noted in earlier posts, you should get that message the first time you launch firefox or any other downloaded application. If you get the message each time, for some reason the computer thinks it is the first time you are launching the application. Are you sure that the application is installed in the application folder? Or are you launching from the .dmg each time? If you are,
    double click on the .dmg file.
    When it opens drag the icon to the Applications folder and it will be permanently installed. You will need to authenticate to install, but you should not have to authenticate each time you launch the application.
    Drag any icon that you have in the Dock to the Desktop
    Then launch the application.
    If you want to keep it on the dock click and hold on the icon
    Select Keep in Dock in the pop-up menu.

  • How do I disable the feature that asks, "...is an application that was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" I get this message every time I double-click to unpack a zip file.

    I am using Firefox 6.0 (I know it's an older version, but I am a doctoral student at a university that is whose system is, at this time, only compatible with this version) on an Intel Mac.

    If using a mouse, you can right click on the application installer this will give you an "Open with" popup and you can chooes to open the application installer using the standard installer.

  • Everytime I open firefox i get a warning this app was downloaded from the internet, do you want to open it. firefox has been previously opened but the message appears everytime firefox is opened. where is that reciept or preference located so I can delete

    this is a macbook running 10.6.3 with a fresh install of firefox from the mozilla site
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after the upgrade from osx 10.6.3 and 3.6.3 install of firefox

    Try this:
    - uninstall firefox
    - download the installer again from [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]
    - run the installer to install Firefox
    See if the same problem appears.

  • I just got a new Mac Airbook with MAC OS 10.6.8 and now every time I load Firefox, it tells me it was downloaded from the internet and am I sure I want to open it. How can get rid of that message?

    I know this is a standard MAC message but I never got it with Firefox before changing computers. I also downloaded Firefox 5.0 and it is still doing it.

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

  • How to disable "This file was downloaded from the internet" prompts?

    They're annoying.  I always say "yes" and I think they cause problems sometimes when I use these files with Terminal.  How do I get rid of them, if I can?

    If you do that, you may lose the new XProtect malware detection feature as well. See
    About file quarantine in Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6

  • I was wondering, is there an application I can download from the App Store that allows me to plug in a USB cord from my Iphone and print from any computer?

    I was wondering, is there an application I can download from the App Store that allows me to plug in a USB cord from my Iphone and print from any printer?

    Sorry but no. iOS does not support connecting a printer via USB, only via WiFi, and without such support there's no way a developer can build an app to provide such capability.

  • How do I stop click-thru "'Firefox' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"?

    Every single time I launch Firefox 20 under Mac OS X 10.7.5 I get the click-thru warning message "'Firefox' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?". How do I stop this? There are internet postings and previous postings about solving this using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a Firefox ONLY issue, and solving it by globally turning off OS X security features as recommended before in a previously closed thread seems like a really BAD solution. Is there a "Firefox only" solution, or will I just have to stop using Firefox?

    I had upgraded to Firefox 20 using the automatic update process, so the last time I'd downloaded a .dmg and manually installed Firefox was a long time ago. I trashed Firefox 20, downloaded a new .dmg and manually transferred to Applications folder and this persistent message ended. I assume if I'd ever launched from the open .dmg the same error message would result, so the fix offered was a solution even though the cause was something different since I only used the automatic update process and never manually handled Firefox .dmg downloads.

    Why connect as SYS? Any DBA account should do.
    After all, it is considered poor practise to connect as SYS on a regular basis (just as logging on as root in *nix is considered poor practise).
    To the original poster - self help for this kind of question is available in the 2-Day DBA book at http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage ... you may often find looking these things up to be faster than waiting for a response. <g>

    how do I disable this - “Firefox.app” is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

    If you want to open it confirm that you do. You will not be asked that question again after the first time you open it
    Unless you are keeping Firefox in the .dmg it was downloaded in.  That is to say, if you obtained Firefox in a .dmg, and you have kept the .dmg mounted, and are launching Firefox from the mounted .dmg, then you will ALWAYS get that warning.   You should copy Firefox from the mounted .dmg to your Applications Folder (or anywhere you prefer), and then eject the mounted .dmg.  Unless you need to install Firefox on another system, you can then delete the .dmg.
