How do you unblock an untrusted application?

Open the Java pane in System Preferences. A separate application will launch. In the Security tab, check the box marked
Enable Java content in the browser
If necessary, adjust the Security Level slider, but if you must reduce the level, do so only temporarily and only if you are absolutely sure of what you're doing. Don't do this to play a game or because a stranger on the Internet asked you to. Java can be dangerous.
If your browser is Safari, you may also need to make changes to the plugin settings in the Security tab of its preferences window.

How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?

How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?
I would like to do so proactively when I am not using a certain program but need to keep it open, and I want to free up computer resources.
In other words, I want to keep a given program open, but stop it from "thinking".

There is an application that I can only open a set number of times before it expires. Every time the program closes, you get one less use out of it. I want to use it as long as possible, so I thought I would just keep it open all the time. However, it consistently turns on the fan on the computer, so I imagine it uses a lot of resources. I got the idea after the Force Quit program "paused" it once after getting overloaded with all the apps I had open. It stopped the fan, and I was able to open it and run it again later with no problems. The tricky thing with trying to intentionally overload the system is that it's a hit or miss on which open program the OS will pause (to my knowledge).

How do you find out what application is generating a plist file in your preference folder?

I have had two similar warnings come up in Drive Genius 3, a program that I use to manage my drives. The warnings occur during a daily verification of preferences on my main drive, a 256GB SSD.
They state:
"The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.analogsolutions.Football.plist' may be corrupted."
"The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/org.machinedevelop.National.plist' may be corrupted."
Per Drive Genius' advisement, "Corrupted files can cause appplication crashes and should be moved to the Trash." I delete the files, however they are regenerated each day.
Q: How do you figure out what application is generating a preference file? And is there a way to tell if this is a OS generated preference file?
I have searched online and cannot find any information about either Analog Solutions or Machine Develop nor am I able to discern what these particular .plist files are for...
Q: Are these two .plist files truly potentially harmful?
Thanks for the Help!

Hi Everyone, sorry for the late response. I have been monitoring my Preferences Folder; every moment I am on my computer trying to catch what application/process generates these files. I was hoping to try your suggestions, but oddly enough the offensive .plist files have not returned since the last time I deleted them about a week ago.... strange...
In any case, I have responded to some of your suggestions and questions that I have information on:
X423424X wrote: Ok, can you double click the .plist file? If so it should attempt to launch the Property List Editor (in your Utilities folder). That way you can look at stuff in the plist. Maybe (hopefully) there's something in there that can shed some light on who is creating it. If Property List Editor cannot open the file (some apps create files that have the .plist extension but don't actually create the proper XML format -- probably what ProSoft was alluding to) then try opening it with a text editor.
The .plist file when opened in text editor contains a string of (what to me seems to be) an arbitrary list of numbers.
Linc Davis wrote: Those files have been given obfuscated names so you won't know what created them. They must contain encrypted registration data for some third-party commercial software that you use.
Yes, seems likely...
Linc Davis wrote: It should be fairly easy to find out what application is creating them, if you really care. Move the files to the Desktop, then log out. Log back in while holding the shift key as you click the "Log In" button. That will prevent your login items from loading, among other things. Open your account preferences and launch the login items one at a time by double-clicking them in the list. After each one, check to see whether the files have been recreated.
Ran through login, one by one, no luck in identifying the application(s).
X423424X wrote: Another thought, lock the plists on the hope that whatever is using them will "choke" and complain about it (no guarantee that will work but worth a try).
Thanks, the lock idea is the one I will try next if they ever reappear...
X423424X wrote: Also, I don't recall if I asked this but if those plists are deleted while logged in will they be recreated during that same login session. Or do they only appear after you deleted them and then and then logged out and back in? Or do you have to reboot to recreate them?
Unfortunately I do not know for certain. Though from all my login/startup/reboot tests I believe that they are not directly linked to starting up the machine or loging in either.
I'm not really certain why the .plist have not returned. I haven't uninstalled any programs, though I did run a couple updates for some widgets within the last week; however that was about 3 days after I deleted the last set of .plist files and usually they reappered everyday. In any case, given that they have not been regenerated I guess my problem is solved per se, at least I am no longer getting that annoying warning everyday. Still, it's a bit of a mystery
Thanks again for all the help!

how do you unblock a blocked plug-ins safari? when i go to the updated version to install it, it still tells me "blocked plug-in".

I'll assume you mean Flash. If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
6. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
7. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

How do you try out an application and keep $HOME clean afterwards

As a new Gnome user, naturally I turned to evolution for an email client well integrated with Gnome. As it turned out, I couldn't find any love for it, so I removed the package. But the problem was that it left behind in several places stuff I no longer wanted.
I had prepared for just that. During the try-out of evolution, I had inotify monitor the files it laid its hands on:
$ inotifywait -mr -e CREATE -e MODIFY -e DELETE ~
The list I got from this:
create ~/.pki/nssdb/{cert9.db,key4.db,pkcs11.txu}
create ~/.config/evolution/*
create ~/.local/share/evolution/*
modify ~/.config/dconf/user
modify ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home*
add password to ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring (gnome-keyring)
download mails etc. to ~/.cache/evolution/
Obviously the cleanup was not as easy as simply removing files/folders, I had to:
clean up dconf database:
$ dconf reset -f /org/gnome/evolution/
$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/notifications/application-children
['gnome-network-panel', 'nautilus', 'evolution']
$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/notifications/application-children "['gnome-network-panel', 'nautilus']"
$ dconf reset -f /org/gnome/desktop/notifications/application/evolution/
clean up login password stored in gnome-keyring: install and run `seahorse', delete the entry "Evolution Data Source XXXXXXXXXX.XXXX.XX@hostname".
clean up data and config:
$ rm -rf ~/.cache/evolution/ ~/.local/share/evolution/ ~/.config/evolution/
I don't know about the NSS stuff, but since no other applications seem to use it (IIRC NSS is used by Chromium, which I don't use), I simply remove it all:
$ rm -rf ~/.pki/
gvfs metadata stuff I really don't know about; ignoring.
As you can see, It takes some long hard work to simply try out an application like evolution while keeping my $HOME intact.
I imagine I could have tried it out under another user (correctly named "tester"), or maybe used some kind of filesystem snapshot (which ext4 lacks afaik), or some kind of sandbox. Too much hassle maybe?
My question to you is how do you do a throw-away trace-free test-run of an application?

lolilolicon wrote:@firecat53, I'm not sure I understand (I don't have an idea of the tools you just mentioned), but I feel that virtual machines seem to be overkill/over-complicating? For trying out they may be very suitable, but for daily use they don't seem to be very convenient.
Heh, to me having to mess with dconf databases and moving $HOME seem way more complicated!
So if you just do a quick Arch install into a virtual machine (you can expedite it by mounting a shared directory and sharing/copying your /var/cache/pacman/pkg directory to avoid re-downloading all your installed packages). Configure it as you wish. Now create a shapshot of the virtual machine as it now exists. This is almost a one-click operation in Virtualbox. Now you have a 'saved state'. Boot up the VM, install the package you want to test...change things, break things, whatever. When you're done, shutdown the VM and select the option to 'Discard current state' or some such. Now the VM reverts back exactly to how you set it up originally. Keep it updated just like your regular system (or in whatever state you need for testing) and snapshot it after an update. You can discard old snapshots when you're comfortable with your current update.
The other other tools I mentioned are just tools that can deploy and configure multiple virtual machines (for example for developers to be able work collaboratively in identical environments). Probably overkill for what you need.
I think you will spend less time getting a suitable test VM configured then you will trying to worry about filesystem snapshots and monkeying with environment variables. Just my two cents

How do you uninstall a downloaded application

I want to re-install Adobe Digital Editions. How do I uninstall original download?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

How do you remove totally an application in Imac

how do you remove a program or application totally in Imac?

It depends -
if you installed it by dragging it to your Applications folder, simply drag it to the trash.
If the app has its own installer, then check to see if it also has an uninstaller as it may leave bits and pieces in various places
Do not delete/trash any application that came preinstalled with the system - if yoiu don't want it, simply ignore it.

How do you make third party application window backmost using labview

Hi Guys
I know i can do whatever i want on labview windows.i can make third party application window frontmost.
But How to make third party applicaiton window backmost using labview.
Thanks

Hi wenjie1wang,
I have attached an example that uses the "Call Library Function Node" that accesses the "user32.dll" file that is responsible for manipulating with the windows such as minimising it.
After opening the VI you have to enter the name of the window you want to minimise, you can hard code that as a constant. Also on the front panel the control "nCmdShow" can be changed to dictate the action you want to do with the window.
Furthermore, please look at the Microsoft Developers Network to find more useful ways to use the property node in your project.

Let me know if this works.
