How can I avoid the message "Can't install java script because it was not downloaded from the App Store?

I am trying to install an update for Java. The system won't allow it, saying I have specified "in Security" not to install any download not from the App Store. The only preferences pane I know of is the one on Safari, and it doesn't have anything about this. Am I looking in the wrong place? How can I get around it? I had the same trouble trying to install an Adobe Flash upgrade.

When I use your hot link "these instructions" I get a  blank page.
Here is the message I get on trying to install a Java Script update:
This is frustrating in that
the update is not available on the App store.
it refers to security preferences I did not set and can't identify or locate--no such settings appear in Safari> security.
Can you be more specific? Thanks.

  • Can't open TurboTax 2013 because it was not downloaded from the App Store

    I downloaded TurboTax 2013 directly from Intuit.  When I launch it, I get the error message "This application cannot be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store."  It was not downloaded from the App Store because the App Store doesn't have the version I need.  Now what?

    I think you should use the new version for free turbotax. I have used turbo tax 2014 recently.
    From Apple store you will defiitely get this software easily.

    Hi Sandra,
    you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
    Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy.  There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:"  The default selection is 'Mac App Store'.  Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".

  • This message appears whenever I try to open a file downloaded from internet: can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store

    Just bought a new Imac OX 10.9. Installed contents from previous Time Machine. All looks good. But, now, when I try to open any file downloaded from interent (like the Amazon mp3 downloader, for example or a plugin update) I get this message:
    "XXX can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store" . Help! Thanks

    Got it solved! System preferences, security & privacy icon, general: allow apps downloaded from Mac Store and Identified developers! Phew!

  • ""Install Adobe Flash Player.app" can't be opened because... not downloaded from the Mac App Store"

    I jsut upgraded to 10.9 and it is up to date and also my safari is up to date (no updates available for it). My safari is saying that my flash is out of date. when I follow the links it lets me download but when I double click to install it tell me "“Install Adobe Flash Player.app” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.". When I install the flash UNinstaller and try to install that, it tells me the same. I ALSO found the exact same problem when I tried to install the acrobat installer (some tried to download a pdf and the page told me that my acrobat reader 'might' be out of date). Any thought?

    You're running up against the GateKeeper.
    Download the offline installer: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X) by right clicking and choosing "Download Linked File As".
    Mount the DMG and when it opens, right click the installer and choose "Open".
    You'll see a warning. Click "Open" again.
    It will run from there.

  • Computer will not allow me to install software, like Adobe updates, because they were not downloaded from the Apple App store

    Two times now, I've tried to download and install something (Adobe flash-player up-date AND DIRECTV so I can watch TV channels on my computer) and each time I get a caution symbol and it says that the software cannot be opened by Safari BECAUSE it was not from the App Store.  What do I need to be able to install these apps?

  • This message was not downloaded from the server

    I have purchased a iphone the first week they were introduced. My problem is with pop email. I keep getting the message " this message has not been downloaded from the server" when I open a email with a lot of html graphics. After reloading the email many times I am able to get the email. Sometimes it takes only 2 times but sometimes it take 20 times. This has been happening since the first day I got the iphone. I thought it was because of a slow connection but it also happens on wifi. I thought apple would fix this problem eventually. But I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. I have seen this problem being reported on this forum and is apparently quite widespread. I have also reported to apple in there feedback section. No response yet. There is a work around to forward pop email account to an imap account. I don't consider this a solution. Does anyone have any other solutions?

    (1) Why does it happen?
    The short answer is "I am not 100% sure why, and Apple have not said why!", but all I can really do now is to google it, and make up my own mind!
    My Guess: I don't think that the Mail application on the iPhone actually saves any attachments on the iPhone when you download emails! It saves the body of the email, but NOT the attachments.
    Why? Because if you attempt to browse an older email, which has an attachment, it gives you the message "Loading..." and after a couple of seconds it tells you "This message has not been downloaded from the server". BUT: If you attempt to do the same thing, with WiFi & EDGE turned OFF, then the Mail application will display the email body immediately, and give you a link to the attachments, that you can click on to download.
    Basically it proves that the iPhone does not save attachments on the iPhone, only the email body!
    (2) Can you fix this?
    Well, this normally happens when you collect your email on your iPhone using the POP protocol!
    Most of us download our email onto computers and select the option in Outlook/Outlook Express to "leave the email on the server for x days", typically 5 or 10 (which I do) days. We then setup our iPhones to download the same email, but to LEAVE it on the server - or "Delete from server: Never".
    This means that for 10 days your iPhone will be able to access a specific email on the email server, and will be able to download (view) that attachment whenever you want.
    BUT: AFTER this 10 day period your computer will remove that specific email from the mail server, and then your iPhone will not be able to retrieve it from the server. Which also means that you will not be able to read any attachments from the mail server.
    SO, when your iPhone Mail app tries to download THAT attachment, it will not be able to, and INSTEAD of just displaying the email body, and the attachment link, it displays the error message: "This message has not been downloaded from the server"...
    (3) Why does the iPhone NOT just save the attachment on the iPhone?
    I have NO idea! Apple should definitely speak out about this and come up with a fix!
    (4) Why Apple does NOT save the attachment? (My guess)
    Well, if you are constantly re-downloading any attachment that you attempt to view on your iPhone, then you will constantly be downloading data using your EDGE package! AND your Mobile Service Provider CHARGES you a massive rate (per MB) to download data using EDGE! Which means that they (AT&T / MTN / Orange / whatever) are making loads of cash off you re-downloading your email attachments. Is this right?
    (5) Quick Fix?
    Change the settings on your computer so that it leaves the email on the server for an extended period of time! Change the 3 days, or 10 days to something like 30 days! This means that your iPhone will be able to re-download the attachment for a 30 day period after it has initially downloaded the email.
    BUT you are STILL re-downloading the attachment, and while you are waiting, YES, WAITING.... you are still being charged for the data traffic!
    The problem here is that some service providers only give you a 10MB email account on their server. This might not be enough for users who receive 100's of emails on a weekly basis!
    (6) Longer Fix?
    Change your email account from a POP account to an IMAP account.
    Problem #1: Here again is that not all service providers offer IMAP facilities! Also, the emails would reside on your server.
    Problem #2: You are still re-downloading all those attachments again! $$$
    (7) The REAL solution?
    The real solution needs to come from Apple! They need to increase the size of the first partition on the iPhone that you save your emails in. Maybe they need to save attachments in the second (media) partition so that you can always access them? At the moment the first partition on the iPhone is really small, just big enough for the OS and a few applications, never mind 100's of attached pictures and mp3s, etc that we commonly send around cyberspace!

  • Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store

    I am trying to download new version of iTunes from App store having purchased it on my laptop.  When I try to download on my iMac I get the following message:
    Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows:  iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store - and then I am asked if I want to buy it again. I don't understand the error message and I don't want to purchase the new version again.
    Also, since upgrading to Lion my videos (from Sanyo Xacti camera) do not play on iTunes. I can only open photos.
    Thank you.

    Make a back up of your Library. Now you can update without fear.

  • I keep getting the message @itunes library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of Itunes - I had to reset my computer due to a printer failure to an earlier version...

    I keep getting the message'Itunes library cannot be read because it was started by a later version' - I had to recently reset my computer to an earlier version as I had a printer problem

    Then you either need to upgrade iTunes again, or fish out the older version of your library from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside <Profile's Music>\iTunes) that corresponds to the older version of iTunes you are now using. You can rename the current .itl file as say iTunes Library (10.5).itl and then rename the copied file as iTunes Library.itl.
