Can't install a .mpkg file - a Security Preferences issue?

I'm having the issue installiung a .mpkg file - it's an App from Pantone.
The message says "Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac Store and identified developers"
I went into the "get info" and made sure that "Installer" was selected under "Open With:" but that didn't fix it.

Hello, you must be on 10.8!???
By default Apple has changed the security settings to only allow installation of apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers. To change this permanently or temporarily go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy. On the General Tab click the little lock in the lower left corner to unlock the general preference pane.

I can't install any dmg files

I can't install any dmg files and I can't find CoreService nor DiskImageMounter under Library order neither. I think they're missing.
Please Help.

They should come up when you double click on the DMG file.
If you are getting a terminal windows when you double click on a DMG file then something has switched the Default program from Installer.app and or DiskImageMounter.app to terminal.
Right click on the DMG and select Get Info. In the windows that comes up find the Open with section then select DiskImageMounter.app and click Change All.
Both DiskImageMounter.app and Installer.app are in /System/Library/CoreServices. But that folder may be hidden. So you will need to use the Go Menu item "Go to Folder" and type in what I posted above to find it.

Hi kensb!
I would recommend that you attempt to reinstall all of the programs and components of iTunes on your machine and reinstall everything again. It can be tricky to get everything uninstalled, so we have an article that can help you make sure you uninstall everything:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Specifically, when it comes to uninstalling, you will want to uninstall applications in this order:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer.
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
You will then want to follow the links in those articles to download the latest package of iTunes software for your computer and install again from there. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

How do I download software for a HP Laserjet Professional P1100? I keep getting the same message when I have downloaded the file "Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers" Help!

You can change the settings in Security & Privacy to "Anywhere"...
That should work... as to whether the printer driver will work, that's another question.
Good luck,

HT201210 hello,can't install itunes because files are missing when downloaded,please help?

Hello,Please help me i had an update the other day.when i downloaded it ,it basically stuffed my whole itunes program.I am unable to access anything in relation to my itunes.I have uninstalled itunes several times with no joy.And always comes up missing files can't install.cant reinstall this great program and i am missing playing all of my music videos and music.Thankyou in this matter.I have windows vista home premium.

When I go to install itunes+quicktime it says "A newer version of quicktime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of quicktime is installed". Even though quicktime is not installed on my computer because I had uninstalled it. When I've tried to download quicktime by itself. There's a box that pop up's wanting the quicktime.msi install package or a alternate path. I found 2 quicktime.msi. One is from '08 version 7.4.5 the other from '10 version 7.6.9. When I've tried to repair the 7.6.9 it says "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed".
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

Error 1402 refers to a non-existent key. Can't install or uninstall to fix printer driver issues.

I can't install or uninstall Acrobat 9.5.3. I keep getting Error 1402, which states that I don't have permission to modify a key that doesn't exist in RegEdit: \UNKNOWN\Components\Lots of numbers. Even Revo Pro can't uninstall it.
I am trying to fix a problem with converting documents from Word. The process stalls because Acrobat can't find its printer drivers. The suggested solution is to uninstall and reinstall. I can't do either.
Many thanks for your help.

The dead end is the error message (1402) that Acrobat can't modify the key: UNKNOWN/Components/Lots of numbers. It lacks permission. The process stops and rolls back all changes. However, this weird key can't be found using RegEdit.

Can we set up a forum for Security related issues?

I know many of us think security is a Windows related issue, but from time to time there are security issues that may come up. I had a question so I looked and couldn't find a forum, so I posted in one of the OS X 10.6 sub forums.
Thanks!

I am a co-founder of Calendar of Updates http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/index.php?act=idx This is a site that is primarily a Windows based security forum (I switched about 4-5 years ago). Over the years, I've tried to grow the Mac side of our forum, but, as you may know, there is little or no interest in security within the Mac community. For many, the feel security is a Windows issue.
It's a free site, so don't think I have a vested interest in growing the membership, I'm not an owner, either.
I just created an *Apple OS X Security Issues* forum http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/index.php?showforum=209
Right now it's an empty forum since it was created 10 minutes ago. Please feel free to join the forum and share security related issues and questions.
I am not aware of any other forums that deal with OS X security issues
exclusively, so this forum could be a good place to bookmark and visit from time to time.

I can not install the 'attach files more easily' facility in my yahoo email. Is this because I now have the latest version of Firefox? I had it on my previous version.

To send photos I need the 'attach files more easily' facility in my Yahoo email. After I recently upgraded my broadband so that I now get 37mb speed, Firefox (and Internet Explorer) started to 'not respond' so I un-installed it then re-installed it. I got the latest version of Firefox and now I can't get the facility back again. Have you got any suggestions? Yahoo have not been able to help.

I could only find this link, hoping it will work:

Check and tell if its working.

Can't Install a .Dist file extension ?

Hello there ,
I have downloaded a software that has a .DIST format .
I tried to download but I recieve this note ...
" The operation couldn't be completed . (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1) . couldn't open Distribution.Dist "
Note : I have repaired the disk and restaretd the Device . still no Luck !
I have downloaded TEXTMATE software , but still I didn't know how to use it .. a very complicated software that I don't think it could solve the problem .
Any recommendation ?
Regards,,,,

A corrupted file means a file that is in some way damaged. it could be damaged on the system you are trying to download from, it could be damaged while downloading or it could be damaged while being saved to your Mac.
You can try downloading it again sometimes that will clear the problem.
Also make sure you are downloading the file intended for Mac. I see that that company sells both Mac and PC versions of their software.

Can't install the split files for 9iAS (v1.02.2)

I have downloaded Oracle9iAS Release 1 version for my developement machine which runs on NT.
I have the 3 batch files (Disk1.bat, disk2.bat,disk3.bat) and the corresponding zip files. The instruction said i have to first run the batch files and then do the unzip.
When I run the batch files, the window flash very fast and did nothing at all. The zip files won't unzip. But i have downloaded them for hours. The error message says 'cant open file, it is an invalid archive, try download again.' I re-download them already and same result.
Please help and give me some hints.
Also, i want to ask if i only wanted to develop the Portal module, do i need a Oracle database?
So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.

So, after trying a couple more times, I decided to clean up all files installed by PSE8 installer: to find out these files, I launched Setup from Instruments (part of the Xcode suite). To my surprise, this time the installer went through without a glitch and PSE works perfectly... I don't think it has anything to do with Instruments, probably after the previous repeated failures some corrupted files were replaced. Or maybe it liked the song I'm playing now in iTunes better than the previous one...

Can't Install Windows in Boot Camp - Windows Driver Issue

Before update to Mavericks, I had an installation of WIndows 7 running in Bootcamp. I had updated this to Windows 8.
Just prior to Mavericks release, the hard drive in my MacBook Pro started to fail. I had a full backup of the OS X partitiion, but did not have one of Windows.
After the drive was replaced, I did a fresh install of Mavericks and I'm planning on doing new installs of my apps over the coming days. (It's an opportunity to clear-out remains of old apps/OS's.) I have hit a wall with Boot Camp, though:
I used the Boot Camp Assistant to download the driver sets ("Windows support software") to a USB stick and partition the HD. However, although the Mac then boots off the Windows 8 (64-bit) installer DVD I can only get as far as choosing the installation language before I get stuck on the next step where it's looking for missing drivers. At first, I thought this was some reference to the ones downloaded from Apple, but I am now pretty certain that these just get installed after [in] Windows to allow access to the Apple hardware.
I have tried installing Windows 7 and get hung-up at the same point (which did not happen on 10.8).
Does anyone have any insight into what's happening and how I can get around the problem please?

Just chiming in - having the same issue as Bernard and Ian here myself, but with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Trying to install on MBP Late 2013, Mavericks, using USB. I get through the bootcamp phase to the language selection in Windows and then get the drivers error message.
Called apple tech support and they indicated that OEMs can sometimes be lightweight versions of the DVD installers (i.e. they leave out certain drivers because they assume a certain set of hardware components will be present, typically hardware that perhaps only PCs have and Macs don't) - so they suggested trying to get my hands on a retail version of the ISO file that might have all of the drivers necessary. I tried downloading every feasible iteration of the windows trial ISOs here but every one of them gave me the same error message in Windows setup. My next step is to call microsoft to ask them for a "complete" ISO - I'm hoping they can cooperate since I do have a valid, un-used authentication code for my Windows product. I'll let you know if this works.
In the meantime - has anyone found an easier fix?

JWS - Printing & File IO Security Preferences

After the user has initially said that this is okay and selected "please don't warn me again", does anyone know how to save these settings between program invocations?
It is a real pain for the user to keep having to say yes to this every time they restart my label printing application. Most of my users are not that bright and many will get confused by the question.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this an idea for the next version of Java Web Start?
Thanks,
Greg Hughes.

Hi!
You could do the following instead of requsting the permissions then you need them in the source:
Sign all the jar files with a certificate, it's OK with a self made one and then request all permissions in the applications jnlp file, jnlp example:
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
This way you won't see the dialog box at all.
