Gatekeeper problems - I can't bypass it
I am experiencing problems with Gatekeeper. I've read all the sites about how you can bypass it through System Preferences/Security & Privacy, and then clicking on "anywhere".....but it doesn't do anything. There is no difference.
I go to the app I've just downloaded, I hit CTRL and right click, and then "open" and nothing happens.......
I really need to install this app, but at the moment, it's useless. I've tried logging out and back in, and rebooting.....
Any help appreciated please.
Thanks
Gatekeeper should display a warning message when you try to open an app that is not allowed. You say that nothing happens, so clearly something is very wrong somewhere. Does the same thing happen if you reboot in safe mode (hold down the shift key during startup)? If not, and if the problem comes back when you boot normally, some other third-party software is causing the problem.
If it doesn't go away, try reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup, then simply go through the install process again. You will have to re-download ML, and this should not disturb any of your apps or documents, but it would be wise to ensure that you have an up-to-date backup just in case something goes wrong.

Problem description:
I have ordered a new iMac but my current one seems to be running really slowly. I believe it to be a memory related problem but can’t seem to identify what is causing it. Your help is greatly appreciated.

The high number of Page Outs and killed processes show very high memory pressure.
Try adding memory, but be sure it is high quality, Mac certified memory such as that from OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial, http://www.crucial.com -
Can I bypass the email smtp settings in GP?
I'm trying to test the offline interactive forms in GP.
The scenario is like this, as given by some tutorials,
1. Fill in the offline interactive forms and Submit
2. Trigger a designated workflow process.
When i test the interactive form callable object, it gives me an error message:
Could not connect to SMTP host: ****, port: 25
I don't have an authorized SMTP server, so my question is:
Is that necessary configuration step even without using the email function?
Can I bypass that?
Another problem is when i hit the Submit button in forms, after a few seconds the form just closed, and there isn't any browser information about success or failure.
The form was received by the server, because i can see the return-count grow.
Thanks.See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436 and in addition, http://AppleID.apple.com and Manage Apple ID Account.

I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer in case it wipes everything .
I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

My Safari is no longer working with many sites. However Chrome and Firefox work fine. I would like to re-install Safari in an effort to clear up the problem I can not resolve.
1. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
2. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Test.
3. If the above steps don't resolve the problem, please describe it in more detail. -

You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.

How can I delete my iCloud account which I do not remember anything about the information that I entered about 4 years ago. It always asks my birth date but it seems I did not enter my correct date how can I bypass this question???
You cannot delete the account from the server (partly to prevent the username from becoming available again and some-one else using it to pretend to be you).. Having disengaged your devices from it, go to http://icloud.com and delete any data in there such as contacts and calendars. Then just ignore it.

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?
Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader. -
Hello guys I have a question,or rather a problem. how can I detach yourself iPhone operator Verizon USA? I mean as to call and what to say? I live in Ukraine, and the opportunity came up for to buy cheap 4S 16GB. but on Verizon. when I insert the original SIM card Verizon and I try to activate, says: (error occurred activation, if this problem happen again please call at +1................). this is the hour to use it through the R-SIM 9 pro. everything works нормальнои calls and Internet and SMS, but I want to officially unlock. beforehand thank you
Well, you managed to find this support forum didn't you and you have an internet connection don't you? Then if you have all these things, go and find the number by going to the Verizon website and it should not be hard to find the number.
As for speaking English, this is not really our problem and it is surely something that you should have thought about before buying the phone in the first place.
You also need to know that Verizon in the US is a cdma operator and if you purchased an iPhone 4s, then it should not be locked. The Verizon 4s comes with a sim card tray that should be unlocked out of the box for use internatinoally on gsm networks, so all you should need to do is open the sim card tray and insert a sim card and you should pick up the local gsm network.
A cdma phone does not actually use a sim card, so there would be no original sim card with the phone because when it is used in the US it will pick up the Verizon cdma network without a sim card. The sim card is only for use on a gsm network which will not work in the US, but is designed to work outside the US. Open the sim card tray and insert your own local sim card and the phone should work and should not be locked.
Other than this, if you purchased the phone in the first place, it is the responsibility of the previous owner to cancel the Verizon contract. This is nothing to do with you, so contact the seller and ask them.
Other wise, go to the Verizon website and look up the number and call them. As they are the phone company, ultimately, they are the only ones who can help you. -
Drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired?
I have had a Lacie 1TB 7200RPM external drive for about 3 years now. In the last two days I got this message when I went into disk utility. "drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired". I was able to back up all the info off of the drive.
Is this a drive problem or a hardware problem. I am using esata and an esata card. Not sure what the card is.
Any diagnostics.
I ran a verify and repair permissions and was told the drive is OK.Do this:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
