lallavictoria,
resetting your administrator password depends upon which version of OS X you’re running. Which version are you using?

  • Gatekeeper Open Apps Downloaded from anywhere issue

    Hi,
    I've configured the gatekeeper to open apps downloaded from anywhere, howeverm everytime I open any app downloaded form internet it always asks the Acept/Deny question, it seems like it's bypassing the System Preference Gatekeeper settings.
    What can I check?
    Cheers,

    The database in which Gatekeeper stores its settings may be corrupt. This procedure will reset all Gatekeeper settings to their defaults. Any changes that you made will be reverted, but can be restored from backup if there's no improvement.
    Back up all data.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    sudo cp /var/db/.SystemPolicy-default /var/db/SystemPolicy
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    Quit Terminal, reboot, and test.

  • I have a problem with opening PDF files downloaded from anywhere!

    I can view them ok in Safari, but when I save and download them, they are displayed with the Preview image and will not open.
    When I click them, a message says that 'the file may be damaged or not recognised by Preview'.
    I have cleaned up my computer (apple help ) but still, the problem remains. I downloaded the same file to my MacBook pro, and it saved it in the usual PDF format, (completely different image from above), and opened perfectly well.
    I have checked the settings in Preview and they seem to be set correctly so that Preview will open PDF files.
    What next?
    I am desperate!
    Jennifer

    See if you can delete any Adobe PDF plugins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/. Then quit and re-open your web browser and try again.

  • For work app, need to change preferences to allow downloaded apps from anywhere.

    Currently, my preferences do not allow me to change to allow downloaded apps from anywhere (ability to do so is grayed out).   I need to download an app developed at work, so it is not on the list of approved developers.   How do I do this?

    Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate.

  • HT5568 I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    Safari is part of OS X 10.7.5, and your downloads should be via  > Software Update...
    Can you provide some details on why you're trying to download Safari?  Did Safari get deleteed from the dock or from the /Applications folder?  Is Safari failing somehow?
    There are ways to re-load Safari using the standard updates, if so.  That usually involves re-applying the combo update kits, but I'd not start with that as a suggestion without knowing a little more about what's causing you to seek to re-download Safari...
    And FWIW, and this may well be obvious to you, but — based solely on your phrasing, as I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff — recognize that sites claiming to offer {Safari or other web browsers, video codecs, flash players, system performance accellerators, anti-virus software,  cache cleaners, games, whatever} can be distributing malware for OS X.  Once the tool is downloaded and installed and authenticated, then the tool can do whatever it wants.  Put another way, please don't try downloading Safari from anywhere.  Please get Safari only from the Apple web site.

  • Sign in to download from the App Store screen has the wrong Apple ID- grayed out. How can I change it?

    When I have a software update notification and I go to the 'Updates" tab of the App Store and click 'update',  the flash screen 'Sign in to download from the App Store comes up the the Apple ID is wrong and grayed out so I can't change it.  Where is the bogus Apple ID stored? How can I 'ungray' it to make it editable?
    I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on an IMAC 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • DOWNLOADING FROM iPHONE 3GS TO PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 8 (PC)

    HI, Please Please Please can anybody help me? I am ABSOLUTELY desperate for an answer!!! I have an iPhone 3Gs and Photoshop Elements 8 and work on a PC running Windows Vista (32). I used to run all the same but with Photoshop Elements Version 5. Everything used to work PERFECTLY till suddenly just out of the blue one day, I plugged my iPhone into my computer and my photos did not automatically download into Photoshop and I cannot / did not have a clue why? I do NOT recall changing ANY settings anywhere on my phone or my computer? Anyway, I messed around for hours trying to fix it but to NO avail? So, I  went to the Apple store and they could NOT figure out why, but told me that I needed to reinstall ITunes and MAYBE update Photoshop Elements 5 to 8, which I have done, but it STILL does not download ANY photos from my iPhone to my computer and I am now TOTALLY desperate as my iPhone is nearly FULL with photos and if I cant figure it out soon, I'm gonna have to delete all my photos from my phone! PLEASE HELP ME URGENTLY! Thanks Donna

    Hi,
    Thanks SO MUCH for your response!  In reply to your questions,
    1.     Can you please tell what  error are you getting?     -                       
            Absolutely None! Its as though my phone is not plugged in at all! I only know that its plugged in because I see it in ITunes as "Donna's iPhone"                 other than that it is not recognized anywhere in/on my computer, so I am not even able to go into Photoshop Elements because when I manually try
            to download the photos through Elements, it does not recognize my iPhone as plugged in!
    2.     Have you ever  modified/corrected any image from the iPhone  itself?
            No! All I've ever done is taken my photo's and then tried to download them directly from my iPhone onto my computer!
    3.     Have you ever saved any image from en email attachment  configured on the iPhone?
            No, there are only photos saved in a folder that was made as a default folder directly by "Apple" on the iPhone to store my photos on when I take
            the photo's and they then go directly into "that" folder that "Apple" created before I got the phone. And then they used to automatically download
            from"that" folder directly into my "pictures" folder onto my computer! Other than that I have not saved any other pictures onto my iPhone EXCEPT
            when Elements was working, and it did download my pictures from my phone, I chose about 250 pictures from my computer and sent those to my
            iPhone. My iPhone then created a seperate folder and put those pictures that I transferred from my computer into that folder. But Elements still
            worked fine after that and I had no problems for about a year after that? But no, I've never saved any received email pics at all!
    Hope that that helps you be able to sort out this excessive mystery for / with me!
    Kindest regards
    Donna

    Downloading from the App Store the message "There was an error in the app store.  Try again later (4)'. Then 'unexpected error'.
    I've been getting this message now for the last couple of days.  I can download other apps on my phone with the same apple ID but have now experienced this on my Mac firstly when downloading Yosemite immediately after being asked for my ID password, and then having tested with a couple of other apps, so it's not related to the download.
    I'm using OS X 10.9.5 on a Mac Book Air.
    I've shut down on a number of occasions and tried again
    App Store is version 1.3 (201.7)

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

  • Download from jsp----

    hi friends!
    i am using a jsp for a download of a video file.The download step should be like,
    clicking the right mouse button on the link and select,'save target as' to save the file into the computer hard disk.
    Here is the place where i have been wall-blocked to proceed further.That is i have to track the user that he clicked and downloaded the specific file.The user i mean is a memeber who logs in and reaches upto the download page.
    This tracking is necessary in order that the total file size downloaded for the 24 hours duration does not exceed 1.2GB.If it exceeds when the user clicks one clip he will be served with the message to relog in after 24 hours for further downloads
    I am really stuck as how to implement this in the site.I am coming in the second round to the forum,seeking advise/solution to this task.Now i have to launch the site in a weeks time.
    Help me please.The implementation of this tracking process is crucial to satisfy the client.
    thanks and regards

    hi leo_pruna
    If your referring to right clicking that can be done anywhere regardless of what country you are in. What you need to do is create a servlet that controls the downloads. If a user right clicks and saves target as and doesn't have rights to download the video then the servlet should forward to an html (JSP) page. At that point if they just saved target as then they should only get the HTML representation and not the video.
    Thanks a lot.I really did not understand what u are telling me to do in the above paragraph.
    According to my cient demand , the video download is allowed for members only.
    To achieve this, i have done the implementation as follows:
    After the user logs in,
    When he wants to download a movie he will go to the downloadjsp, where the movie is split into many parts and each part has download link displayed .
    When he clicks one of the links, he will be allowed to download through download servlet and the download servlet will ensure his limit and acts accordingly.
    The above operation is performed through a left click of mouse button on the download link of download jsp.
    but in japan for the video download sites, the download is allowed only by rt clicking and selecting save targer as option.This is as per the law of the country.
    what i planned to do now in order that the rt click download opration to be effective is, just let the user to download from the download jsp itself, without going to the download servlet.(this effectively renders me the download without user tracking)
    I did not got idea as how to incorporate the servlet way of downloading by rt clicking on the link .that is the reason i have planned to do so.
    And now that u have suggested me some solution which will also enable me to track the users through the rt click action with download servlet.The above highlighted part(***) from your reply i can not follow.pl pardon me for saying that.
    If u explain to me again the same , i will be able to implement.
    will u take pains to explain again
    thanks and regards

  • Very slow video downloading from iTunes

    I have a FIOS 75Mbit connection (and get can 75Mbit on my N-router and Macbook Pro's WIFI).  But my new 1080p Apple TV is another matter. Two minute trailers take longer than 2 minutes to download. Half hour HD TV shows can take 90 minutes to download! And if I try to watch a movie I rented, Apple TV tells me it'll be ready to watch in "about 5 hours".
    So my immediate reaction is ***. Any ideas why my wireless performance is so great with my MBP and so terrible with my AppleTV (just 10 feet away)

    I stumbled across this thread looking for help with the same issue...slow to very slow movie downloads from iTunes.
    Changing the DNS, both on my iMac as well as my Airport Extreme router helped.
    I'm on Comcast and generally get around 33Mbps downloads via speedtest.net.  Based on several Namebench tests Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8) has always been on top and I've always configured my router and Macs using the top 3 Namebench recommendations with Google at #1 position.  However while downloading movies from iTunes Activity Monitor showed very sharp "Data received/sec" rises and falls...anywhere from 4.40MB/sec to 100KB/sec or sometimes zero.  Most of the time it would start off well, but trail off to very poor and sporatic speeds after about 30 seconds.
    Per finaleMile's and other's recommendations elsewhere I removed Google Public DNS from the settings on my router and iMac and things improved with respect to stability.  Although the "top speed" of about 4.40Mbps didn't improve, downloads did smooth out and remain between about 2.30Mbps to 4.10Mbps during the entire download.  Not speedy but a marked improvement in stability and overall download time.
    Thanks for the tip!
    BTW, I've found that during regular web surfing, using Google's Public DNS is faster so I re-add it after downloading movies from iTunes.  It's a bit of a PIA, but worth it.  Wish there were a better option though.
    FWIW I tend to download rented and purchased movies to iTunes on my iMac and then play them back via my Apple TV3 rather than "stream" them directly from iTunes.  That way if there are external network problems they won't have a negative impact on our viewing experience.

  • I can't find a book I downloaded from ebook search. It was a free copy of the great gatsby. How do I locate D-L'd books?

    The manual suggests that all downloaded books are shown on an app named "bookshelf" I don't have this app. I have to go to the iBook, Nook or Kindle app to find books downloaded from them, but it is the free book from the eBook search app that I cannot locate anywhere. How can I get all my downloaded books to show in one place to access them?

    Thanks for your advice. But what is the link you are referring to? I have showing on my iPad 2 screen icons for Nook, Kindle, iBooks and eBook Search. I believe I downloaded "Gatsby" from eBook search. But when I open it I only get their usual display page with no link anywhere visable - nor access to "Gatsby".

  • How to do a clean install of Lion download from App store

    How do you do a clean install of Lion downloaded from the App store.  I downloaded and it installed but never was there a time of the installation it gave me an option to do a clean install.  Thanks for any help.

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
