My security prefs won't let me install onyx

I want to download ONYX for cleaning my logs. When I download the Mountain Lion version I get the message. "your security prefs allow only installs from the Mac App Store or identified developers".  What's this? How do I change my security prefs. I've checked on System Prefs/security and privacy.  I downloaded ONYX from onyxmac.com and from MacUpdate.com.  I can't find it in the app store.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You can change the setting here in Sys Prefs/Security/General;
You may have to unlock the pane with the lock icon in the bottom left to change the preference.

  • I want to install onyx but my security preferences won't let me download it. Is it safe to change them and download from an unidentified developer? Will they be able to access my information?

    1. If you just want to run one application, control-click it and choose Open instead of changing the setting. This only needs to be done once per application.
    2. Ensure that you trust any software you choose to open in this way.

  • My windows 7 security settings won't let me download mozilla firefox. How do I change my security settings to allow the download?

    I'm setting up my new laptop. MS internet explorer won't let me install Firefox. says my security setting won't allow the download . . .

    Go to Start>Control Panel>Internet Options>Privacy (tab) There should be a bar & it might work if you make it lower. You could go to the advanced tab too & uncheck some of the security blocking things

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for intallation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it.

    I am trying to re-instal Acrobat Pro on my computer after changing OS and resetting everything. I am using the CC panel for installation. It shows it installed and won't let me install it. I doubled check everything on my computer and it is not installed. Even more, all my PDF files now show an HTML extension rather that PDF and only opens in my browser, which means the program is not here.
    How to re-install it, please, when the CC panel installer won't let me do it? Thanks!

    Try "Pacifist"!
    Pacifist is an application for Mac OS X that opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives, and more, and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package

    Check for new 64 bit software for the modem, other wise you I'll probably have to boot your Mac in 32 bit mode first.. And then every time you want to go online.
    I have the Sierra wireless 306 and have their 64 bit lion software installed. Works well.
    Best.

  • My iMac won't let me install anything.

    I have no idea what is going on. I won't let me install the simplest software. My OS X is up to date and I have a ton of HD space.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Select
    /var/log ▹ install.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Satellite L850 - Win8.1 won't let me install the chipset drivers

    Hi,
    After i upgraded to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit from windows 8 64 bit (pre-installed), i figured that windows won't let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit), but they remain with the windows drivers installed for them.
    The device manager shows everything installed and properly using. Also, when the set up was running to install the chipset driver, it skipped most of them, to install only a missing driver (sadly haven't kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the device manager (either auto search or manually browsing in the pc the downloaded files from site), but it keeps saying that drivers are up to date (having drivers with version of 2006, when the latest on site are 2014). Any suggestion of what to do?
    Model name: Satellite L850-1MK
    OS version: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM cpu @ 2.4GHz
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7600M

    Problem solved, after even a deeper google search, i found that if y make a shortcut and add to it a command (-OVERALL), it forcefully installs all components.

  • Mommy won't let me install QTJava

    I've given up on JMF because of its lack of support for media formats that people actually use, so I'm following the advice of others on this forum and will attempt to try QuickTime for Java as an alternative.
    The problem is that the QuickTime installer won't let me install QTJava because it complains (incorrectly) that I don't have a supported VM.
    Any idea where I can get a QuickTime for Java installation without mommy looking over my shoulder and commenting on my VM, or how to get around this problem in general?
    I apologize for positing here, but I couldn't find a counterpart forum on Apple's site.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance

    Since you have a choice of JVM's, I'm assuming you're on Windoze? I think QTJ only runs on the Sun JVM -- not Microsoft (duh) and not IBM's (darn). Also, I'm pretty sure it's not ready for 1.4 yet.
    Most Apple stuff is on listservs instead of web-boards. Check out the quicktime-java list at http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/quicktime-java
