HT6026 Can't add app to "Enable access for assistive devices and applications" list

I'm trying to add "Alfred 2" and "ImageOptim" to the list of apps that have their access enabled, but when I drag these apps in to the list nothing happens. (This is after I have unlocked the tab to enable changes).
Any idea on how to add these apps?

By access enabled do you mean to allow incoming connections for those two apps? If so then you can add them in the System/Security & Privacy/Firewall Options pane:

  • Automator Watch Me Do gets stuck on "Enable Access for Assistive Devices

    I built a simple Automator Watch Me Do Work Flow that simply pastes text I have already copied into Text Edit and then sets the Font, Size, Color and Make All Caps function.  Every time I run the script it stops and gives me the following error "Enable Access for Assistive Devices".  I have gone into System Preferences/ Universal Access a number of times and confirmed the check box is selected, I even unselected the check and ran the Auotmator script and went back and reselected the check box, I even rebooted my machine, I tired this on another Mac same problem. I must be missing something, can anyone help me out?

    Boot into recovery mode and reinstall the OS. You don't need to get it from the App Store.

  • "Enable Access for Assistive Devices" is missing from Yosemite and my QuicKeys program depends on this to work.  Help!

    This is my second day trying to get my QuicKeys application to work in Yosemite, but "Enable Access for Assistive Devices," which QuicKeys needs to work, is missing from Yosemite.  I have gone through the entire System Preferences panel (Security and Privacy, Accessibility, Keyboard, etc.) without success - it's just not there.  I have checked this app in the Privacy pane and dragged
    "QuicKeysUserEventHelper" out of the QuicKeys Resources folder into the Applications folder so it could "appear" in the Privacy pane, and then checked it there. Is there any way to enable access for assistive devices - a Terminal command, perhaps?
    QuicKeys is my most used program, which I have had since its inception at least 10 years ago!  Help!

    Thank you for your reply!  I did everything that Startly recommended (actually, gb2), and when I dragged the QuicKeys Helper into the Privacy box. I didn't see it, but after I quit and restarted QuicKeys, it worked!  However,I had  first  dragged the QuicKeys app to the trash, emptied it, then restarted.  Next, I redownloaded QuicKeys from Startly and THEN I went to gb2's directions.  All together, my QuicKeys now works on my MacBook Air.  BUT NOW, I keep getting the warning that says that this version and activation code are already in use by another user!  I am also getting those warnings on my Mac Pro -  which had the same problem yesterday (QuicKeys not working), until I heard back from a Technical Advisor from Startly, who told me about trashing the app and redownloading from their site.  Last night, that version of QuicKeys worked WITHOUT my having to drag the QuicKeys Helper app into the Privacy pane.  Perhaps it is there, but invisible - the helper app is not visible on either of my computers' Privacy panes.
    OK, NOW WHAT DO I DO?  Every 20 seconds or so, I'm getting those annoying warning signs (on BOTH computers) and requests to put in my activation key, and then told that it is being used by another user!!!
    AM I EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE MY 2 LICENSES FOR MY 2 QUICKEYS PROGRAMS???

  • Enable access for assistive devices in Mavericks-how?

    How is "access for assistive devices" enabled in OS 10.9.3?  I've looked for it just about everywhere in System Preferences.  A third-party utility that I use needs it to work fully—and says at startup that it is not switched on.

    Hope this helps!

  • Using AppleScript to click menu items without access for assistive devices?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to have AppleScript 'click' menu items without having 'Enable access for assistive devices' enabled?
    My script works fine with it on but with it off I just get this:
    'System Events got an error: Access for assistive devices is disabled.'
    Pretty clear and easy to fix. I don't really want assistive devices enabled, though ...
    Any ideas or is this just not possible?
    Sorry if this is a n00b question - I'm kinda new to the world of Mac and OS X ...
    Thanks!

    Ok cool - thanks for the reply.
    I've figured out how to set the bounds of the window I'm talking about:
    tell application "Transmit" to set bounds of window "Transcript" to {61, 1166, 2559, 1421}
    I'll have a hack and see if I can figure out how to open the Transcript window without needing assistive devices enabled.
    Thanks again!

  • Access for assistive devices is disabled number -25211

    Guys, my checkbox is checked, but my AppleScript still returns this error:
    error "System Events got an error: Access for assistive devices is disabled." number -25211
    How to fix it? Thanks!

    It sounds like you were running a second display in extended desktop mode.
    If the adapter and/or cable for the second monitor is still attached, it can fool the Mac into believing the second monitor is still present. Detaching that cable/adaptr and then restarting should fix it.
    You can also try going to System Preferences > Monitors and change the setup from extended mode to mirror mode.

  • Can i use the same apple id for a device and APNs creation for an MDM solution?

    I created some APNs for use with an installation of AirWatch.
    Somewhere back when I did this... someone gave me the impression it would be a bad idea to use the Apple ID I used to create those APNs... on an actual device. 
    Any truth to that?

    Yes, you can use your Apple ID with any Apple product or service worldwide, no matter the language or country, but your account can only be in one iTunes Store country at a time.

  • How do I switch on access to assistive devices in OS X Mavericks?

    A couple of days ago I installed OS X Mavericks. Now when I try to open my ABBYY Lingvo App, the system says "Access for assistive devices is disabled:
    To be able to use the quick lookup feature, you must enable access for assistive devices in the Universal Access panel. Open the System Preferences window where you can enable access for assistive devices?"
    I open System Preferences, click "Security & Privacy", choose "Privacy", find "Accessibility" on the list, it says "allow the apps below to control your computer". In my case there are only 2 apps there: "Google software update" and "Skype". I can tick them, but that doesn't solve my problem, obviously.
    So, how do I enable access for my ABBYY Lingvo?! Ideas anyone?

    Hi!
    Try this way!
    Lingvo -/ Settings -/ Translate tab - There u will be requested to launch module for quick lookup translate in finder,
    click it, then u will see <Lingvo Pop-Up Translation> .app in finder, launch it, and pop-up translation will work like before in os x 10.8.
    I hope this will work for u!
    GL!

  • How can I get the apps that I paid for on iTunes and the app store I don't have a computer I paid for them using my ipad and everytime I try to redownload them it asks for my card number and when I put the number in it tells me that the number is not a wo

    Ok can anyone tell how I can get the apps that I paid for on iTunes and the app store using my I pad because I don't have a computer and when I try to redownload the apps it keeps asking me for my card number and when I give it my card info it says that it's an invalid number when I know that it's not

    If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

  • Can you add apps to apple tv 3, if so how

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, that is not possible at this current time.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!
    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • How can i add apps to my ipod touch 2 with ios 4.2.1

    how can i add apps to my ipod touch 2 with ios 4.2.1

    Same way as always. Purchases directly for the App store on the iPod or download on your computer and sync to your iPod. To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
