Owner of installed applications
I'm not very happy with the owner (user and group) of applications installed in /Applications.
Apps that "belong" to OS X are owned by root:wheel, and so are apps installed via the App Store. In contrast, apps installed via Drag&Drop are simply owned by my user account and the admin group.
As a consequence, apps that fall in the former category can only be removed by providing the admin password or by using Launchpad.
Apps that belong to user:admin might be modified by other apps, which could be a security risk, espescially if they might request admin privileges at some point.
The easiest way to work around this issue might be to run "sudo chown -R root:wheel" on every app that was installed "by hand". Might I run into trouble by doing so? (I hope there aren't to many apps that require write access to their own installation folder).
Is there an easier way? It would be great if one could use the app store to also install non-appstore-apps, but I guess this is not possible...
Well, one thing I don't like is the inconsistency between apps installed manually and apps installed via the app store. I admit that this is primarily a cosmetic issue, but nonetheless, it annoys me.
But having applications that are writable by the current user could theoretically also lead to a privilege escalation. For example, I recently installed MacTeX, which also places various apps and stuff in /Applications. There's one program that can be used to update the installed TeX packages, but to be able to do this, it will have to prompt for admin rights. If this program could be overwritten/modified by an attacker (say, some shellcode executed in your browser), one would elevate the Malware to run with admin privileges.
Of course it is unlikely that someone actually tries to exploit such an attack vector, but still I think this is some sort of design weakness in OS X. It almost seems as if Apple agrees, as apps installed from the App Store aren't affected by this problem

Hi,
I'm trying to copy cmtrace to c:\windows\system32 on a Windows 2012 server as part of a task sequence.
This is the applicaton quiet install line in MDT: xcopy cmtrace.exe "c:\windows\system32" /E /C /I /Q /H /R /Y /S
It looks like it's succeeded but it is not.

All previously installed applications remain after "fresh" install of OS X 10.8.4
Hey guys,
So this may or may not be a problem. The issue is that I was having some system screen flickering/freezing on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) so I decided to reinstall 10.8.4 Mountain Lion to see if this would solve the issue. Went through the procedure of creating a reinstall flash drive and proceeded. Chose the drive containing my old OS (10.8.4) and installed. Process took about 1:30 hours to download and install necessary files. When the OS install is complete and the machine boots back up nothing has changed. All previously installed applications remained and the machine home folder is still named for the previous owner? (bought on ebay) Does Apple auto reset all previous settings through my AppleID? Or did this OS re-install not complete correctly? I need to FULLY wipe this machine and after going through the process I am not even sure if anything took place. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am reading an article suggesting that I can use boot utility to format all drives if I boot into the recovery partition. From there I can reinstall using the internet recovery. Is this a wise move to avoid buying Snow Leopard?
The Early 2011 Mac originally came with 10.6
10.7 and 10.8 are paid upgrades tied to the previous owners AppleID, therefore you can't apply security updates to that previous owners copy as you don't have their AppleID and password.
The object to go back to Snow Leopard 10.6 is so that when you upgrade to 10.8, it's yours and you can upgrade all your paid software and operating system through the AppStore concept.
Later, if you need to erase and install 10.8 fresh, then yes, you use Internet Recovery or RecoveryHD as then your AppleID and password will work as intended and there is no need to use the 10.6 disks any longer, they can be sold if you wish as you don't have 10.6 on the machine anymore. -
Linux installing applications requires root password.
Can anyone explain to me why it is that on Linux, Air
requires a root password to install an application even if the
installation directory is specified as somewhere within my own home
directory?
That it asks for a root password under such circumstances
seems very wrong. The application files are being written to my
home directory, I don't need to be root to write there and I do not
want files being created in my home directory with root as the
owner, as Air does when it installs an application.
Asking for the root password also means that users who have a
Linux machine that is administered for them by someone else and do
not have root are unable to install Air applications themselves
even if the administrator has installed Air on their
machine.First of all, on behalf of myself (and anyone else who has
been wondering about this particular detail of Adobe AIR) let me
thank you for your helpful reply. This does still leave me with a
couple of questions, however...

AIR applications are similar to regular native applications -
they install as native rpm/deb packages. This requires access to
the rpm/deb system database (e.g. rpm database lock). And this is
required even if the installation folder is chosen to be one that
is owned by the current non-root user. In addition, with root
privileges, it's also possible to install applications to a
location that is accessible to other users on the system.
I have confirmed for myself the accuracy of this information
and I thank you for pointing it out. While this does make some
sense on the surface, it does leave me wondering something about
the security level of this install process. When I install
applications from my Linux distribution's package sources, I have
GPG (or PGP) cryptographic key signatures ensuring that all the
packages are un-altered from their original form on the
distribution's package servers, and a team of programmers assuring
me that the code of these packages are (at least somewhat) safe as
far as they are able to tell. I am thus far unable to find
information leading me to believe that there is similar assurance
that I am not willingly installing unknown malware (keystroke
logger, spyware, etc.) disguised as a desktop widget (for example)
when installing Adobe AIR applications. As a code savvy user, I can
personally download and examine the code of many AIR apps to ensure
their safety myself before installing, but what about users who
understand code as well as they understand Martian language or
ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs? Is there any assurance process in
place for the average user similar to that of native distro
packages? If so, can anyone point me to where that is discussed on
the Adobe pages?
Also, as an aside note; root privileges are not technically
REQUIRED in order to install an RPM package in a location which the
user already has write access to, as I personally have on many
occasions installed source code packages (SRPM) from my
distribution's package manager in my home folder while logged in as
a normal user (without the use of 'su' or 'sudo' or such) for the
purpose of building newer versions of the RPM packages which they
correspond to.

However, do note that when they are launched, AIR
applications run with the privileges of the user launching the
application and not root. The primary executables of AIR
applications (under the bin/ folder in the installation path) do
not have the setuid bit set. You should not be worried about AIR
applications running with root privileges, based on the fact that
their installation required superuser access - the two are
completely independent.
This does still go back to the original point about the
security of the code itself which is being installed in the first
place. What quality assurance process is in place (beyond the star
ratings system on the application showcase site) to ensure that
malware was not installed (as root) and then happily being run by
all the users of a system while blissfully unaware of the capture
of their passwords or other personal information? (Again, an
example, and not the only such possible worry.) If such an
assurance system
is already in place, where can I (and other AIR users) read
more about it?
The reasons for this concern should be obvious when one
considers that a malicious application does not necessarily need to
be run as root to still do a great deal of damage on a system and a
sufficiently sneaky malware application could possibly even
obtain root privileges once installed on a system through
some other privilege escalation exploit. As an administrator of
multiple systems and networks, I have to be cautious about which
applications I allow on to a system or network for this very
reason.
Please be aware that I am not making these points and asking
these questions to be a "troublemaker" or to shoot down the
achievements of the AIR team, or Adobe. To the contrary, I am very
impressed by the technology that I've seen so far and would
very much like to see AIR become and stay a genuinely useful
part of the web ecosystem on all platforms. As a matter of fact,
I'm personally reading a few different resources currently about
how to develop AIR applications in anticipation of satisfactory
answers to my few remaining concerns about AIR security worries. ;)
P.S.: If this forum was the wrong place to be discussing
these specific types of issues and concerns, please feel free to
point me toward a better place where such things should be better
covered and where like-minded individuals and groups might either
continue the discussion or resolve / close this concern entirely.
An IRC channel where AIR devs hang out maybe, or perhaps another
Adobe forum where security concerns are discussed, etc.? :)
Anyhow, sorry about the long rambling post. Thank you to
Ashutosh Sharma for your initial reply to this thread, and thank
you in advance to whoever may reply further and bring final
resolution to any remaining worries I and others may have regarding
these and similar potential security concerns. :) -
How do I not let certain users run an installed application?
I have a computer lab at a school that is running Snow Leopard and a Snow Leopard server. Is there a way in Workgroup Manager to disallow the student group from running an installed application? I know that I can "always allow" all the rest of the applications, but there is just one that I specifically want to disallow and I don't want to have to be constantly updating an application whitelist.
Hang an ACL off the bundle and — presuming your students are all associated with a group I'll refer to as "student" group — use the ACL to deny access to anybody in "student"? That's sort-of and sort-of-not WGM, but it'll work.

i have a problem in my account every time i want to install application from app Store on my iphone a message shows that my Apple ID has been disabled, i creat a new password and still that message shoes ,what is the problem ?can you help me please???!!!!
If your account is disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -

Prerequisiteinstaller.exe error - unable to install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role
Windows Server 2012 R2 running on Hyper-V VM. File services, App server & IIS roles installed
SQL Server 2012 installed
Tried:
kb 2765260 method 1 which is kb 2771431 which ends with "not applicable to computer"
kb 2765260 method 2 with no effect (this was power shell commands for PC's connected to the internet)
One post suggested "aspnet_regii - enable -i" but my OS doesn't have aspnet_regii on it (not sure what that implies)
One post suggested ServerManagerCmd.exe needed to be installed which sounds true as shown below (but where do I find this exe?)
There are some errors in the log file, I only included the portions where the errors are listed. The initial lines are at the top of the log file, then I skipped to the section where the other errors were. I can include the whole log if
it becomes necessary.

I'm presuming the first 2 errors are OK and just indicate optional startup modes for prerequisiteinstaller.exe
The 2nd set of errors seems more serious. I don't see ServerManagerCmd.exe on my PC that's listed in the error
I don't understand the last error which I'm supposing triggered the listed error even though there are other errors in the log.
Many of the existing posts don't match the configuration I'm using, and the ones that do match didn't seem to provide a usable answer. Any help is appreciated. Do these problems exist using Sever 2012 Standard? I will try that, but would
like to resolve the issue here with R2.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
AlanServerManagerCMD.exe is a deprecated utility and (as far as I know) is only found on Server 2008 versions, so I'm surprised it's needed for the preinstaller. Are you trying to install SharePoint 2010?
Running this page through Google Translate should give you an clearer idea on getting this installed.

Error while installing applications
Hi
I am getting an error while installing applications in snow leopard. I got this error couple of times while I was installing different applications. Below is the details of the error.
System extension cannot be used
(The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update")
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue. I tried reinstalling the applications. But I got the same error.in general, such error means that you have an app that installed an incompatible with SL extension. it has to be either removed or updated.
there have been a number of posts about the particular error you are seeing. see this one for example
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10367113�
it seems that the culprit in your case is an incompatible version of Toast. get up updated Toast version

Can't Transfer App to iPod? iPod must have Installing Applications ON
If you can't transfer iTunes app to iPod or check the iTunes box for "Automatically Install New Apps", make sure your iPod has the setting for "Installing Applications" set to ON. (Settings --> General --> Restrictions --> Installing Applicatons == "ON").
I had wrongly assumed this item setting applied to installation of iPod Apps directly from the Internet, not through the PC. I was wrong. Others might need to know this as well.The Restrictions applies to both direct download and syncing.

Two workarounds below (Not acceptable solutions)
*I can add a pause script after Setup Windows and ConfigMgr sequence, wait 5-10 minutes and the applications will install. I assume this is because the CM client has time to fully provision.
* I can add the anon ‘IUSR’ account to the local administrators group on the DP and all applications install (without the pause script mentioned above). I can reproduce the issue repeatedly by removing and adding the anon account.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated…
Also, I come from a CM 2007 background and somewhat new to CM 2012. Should WebDAV and/or URL Authorization be installed and configured on the DP? According to MS tech support “No”. However, I’ve seen several SCCM 2012 guides on the web that say it should
be installed.
Regards
David K. HarrisonLocationservices.log, CIDownloader.log, CIagent.log, DataTransferService.log also need to be checked. We need to find out what credential the Client trys to use when it downloads content from DP.

Why does lightroom no longer show up as installed application in creative cloud
I installed Lightroom 5.6 on my Mac and it works fine. However since yesterday it does not show up any longer as installed application in the creative cloud app, so I can't upate to 5.7.
Check your language setting in the CC app. Perhaps you switched it around and the app wants to reinstall everything. otehrwise run the cleaner tool and do a reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

How do I restrict users from installing applications?
Or more specifically, yahoo messenger. I can't seem to figure this one out. Two user settings on our machines (public and admin), public does not have admin priveleges, so cannot make modifications like installing applications, but someone seems to keep installing messenger all the same. I investigated and figured out that it seems like when logged onto the public account, one can still install applications in their user/applications folder without needing to authenticate. or maybe Yahoo Messenger doesn't read as an application, so it doesn't need authetication? I am trying to make it so no one can install any application without admin priveleges.
"Parental Controls" works on a "white list" principle, so if an app isn't available in the "Accounts" pref pane, it shouldn't be accessible for the "managed" user because the default is to deny everything not on the list.
But also be aware that the type of "Parental Controls" you have selected may affect the user's ability to use a given programme. For example, if the "Allow supporting programmes" checkbox is selected, it may be possible to launch indirectly a programme that hasn't been approved explicitly.
Also, note that a "Simple Finder" account doesn't (and isn't intended to) restrict application access at all, whereas a "Some Limits" account does.
And as "Keith Gaboury1" points out, if a given service allows access through a web interface, restriction of a programme on the local computer won't have any effect.
"Parental Controls" are somewhat effective in preventing users from using unauthorized programmes, but as far as preventing the installation of apps, that is something that would be fairly difficult to do if the user is to have a functional account. If a user can save files to a directory (such as their home folder or "/Users/Shared" or the "admin" user's "Drop Box"), it would be possible for them to install an application there. There are ways of preventing executables in the user's own "home" from functioning, but then they could always run an app from a CD or a flash drive or a disk image instead (I'm not sure how to block those). So the "white list" approach of controlling application use (as opposed to installation) is probably the best compromise.

I just burned out a 12 minute movie thru IDVD and got 14 flash frames, either white, or where a photo from elsewhere pops up for a moment. I burned an IPhoto slideshow to a Quick Time Movie, then put that into an IDVD project at Professional Quality.
