Program downloaded from internet are you sure you want to open

Hi Guys
I've got an issue i cant solve.
basically when opening programs i've downloaded from internet i.e .dmg files, and there installed in my applications, im getting the prompt that
" this program was downloaded from the internet, are you sure you want to open it? "
i can open and close the application and will still get the prompt, after reboots.
any suggestions
i've tried running cleanups with programs such as onyx as well but doesnt help
Cheers

If it keeps coming back after the first time for that app, then try repairing permissions using Disk Utlity.
It will report a lot of stuff that you can safely ignore.  I'm not sure if it will fix the problem, but it might.
The Quarantine attribute is supposed to be stripped off when you OK it, but it appears it is not. It could be a problem with permissions that is preventing the attribute from being removed.

    Hi Emily,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Curious, what if you try to download Firefox or another "Mac-friendly" application? These items you're downloading, what are their file names ending in? Are they .exe?
    The fact that you're able to download some programs, but not all, would indicate that either the programs you're unable to download are not compatible with Mac or the download location you're using for them is untrusted.

  • Video downloads from internet are so slow with Quicktime, any remedies?

    Downloads are so slow with Quicktime. Quicktime diagnostics say nothing is wrong. I can put my other Inspiron next to each other and download and this one takes forever. This signal is strong and at the same rate as other Inspiron
    Dell Inspiron   Windows XP  

    I don't think your choppy videos have anything to do w/your computer. I have a G5 iMac and have no problems playing any video including YouTube. However, I am still using the "flawless" Tiger and you are using Leopard. I've seen your problem mentioned quite a few time on the QT board. You may wanna cross-post there also. Since you do not believe your ISP is the issue, make sure you have the following installed:
    Flip4Mac
    VLC Media Player
    Perian (AVI and FLV support)
    Adobe Flash Player Software (latest version)
    Regarding FireFox. I've noticed a slowness since its last 2 updates. I've had to clear out the caches each day before use to make it faster which is a PITA! Suggest that you post on FF message boards. There are plenty of the same "slowness" complaints from Mac as well as PC users. So it's not just you. The slowness is affecting quite a few folks. The more folks that complain on FF message boards the better.

  • How do I stop click-thru "'Firefox' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"?

    Every single time I launch Firefox 20 under Mac OS X 10.7.5 I get the click-thru warning message "'Firefox' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?". How do I stop this? There are internet postings and previous postings about solving this using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a Firefox ONLY issue, and solving it by globally turning off OS X security features as recommended before in a previously closed thread seems like a really BAD solution. Is there a "Firefox only" solution, or will I just have to stop using Firefox?

    I had upgraded to Firefox 20 using the automatic update process, so the last time I'd downloaded a .dmg and manually installed Firefox was a long time ago. I trashed Firefox 20, downloaded a new .dmg and manually transferred to Applications folder and this persistent message ended. I assume if I'd ever launched from the open .dmg the same error message would result, so the fix offered was a solution even though the cause was something different since I only used the automatic update process and never manually handled Firefox .dmg downloads.

  • "........" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

    I get the following warning every time I try to open a recently download application. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.3
    "xxxxx' is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
    How do I disable this warning for a particular application?
    Update: problem solved. The Mac in question has multiple users, but only one user has administrator privileges. The problem was simply that the application in question had never been opened by the administrator. Once the administrator opened the application the warning went away.

    If using a mouse, you can right click on the application installer this will give you an "Open with" popup and you can chooes to open the application installer using the standard installer.
    Another method to do the same exact thing is to hold the Control key while left clicking on the Application installer will give you the exact same popup menu.

    WZZZ,
    Thanks, the following command (ran as root) worked for me!

  • How do I disable this - "Firefox.app" is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

    how do I disable this - “Firefox.app” is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

    If you want to open it confirm that you do. You will not be asked that question again after the first time you open it
    Unless you are keeping Firefox in the .dmg it was downloaded in.  That is to say, if you obtained Firefox in a .dmg, and you have kept the .dmg mounted, and are launching Firefox from the mounted .dmg, then you will ALWAYS get that warning.   You should copy Firefox from the mounted .dmg to your Applications Folder (or anywhere you prefer), and then eject the mounted .dmg.  Unless you need to install Firefox on another system, you can then delete the .dmg.

    Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

  • How Do I Turn Off "Are you sure you want to open it" Alerts?

    I create websites and frequently download web pages to work with.
    When I open a downloaded web page in Safari I get an alert such as
    "index.html is a web application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"
    How do I disable that behavior?
    Thanks,
    DAN

    Select the box where you see: Open "safe" files after downloading.
    I am not sure about the OP but this is definitely not what I want. I do not want anything to open automatically. I just want items downloaded to my desktop (for me to open later) without having to tell Safari to do this twice or having to remove warnings when I do decide to open downloaded files.
    Is there a way to turn off this silly Apple protection for all applications/files?

  • Help! After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

    After interrupting an installation of a program downloaded from the internet on my mac in a reboot cycle will not start, I've already done the disk check and it's ok and I reinstalled the OS 10.8 Lion

    In this case, I think that there's something damaged that can't be fixed just reinstalling OS X.
    If you don't want to lose files, you will have to create a second partition in the hard drive and install OS X there, so you will be able to recover everything you need. Then, you will have to erase the first partition and reinstall OS X. Follow these steps:
    1. Hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    2. You can follow the steps of this site to create a second partition > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
    3. After creating the second partition, close Disk Utility and install OS X on the second partition.
    4. When the installation finishes, open Finder and, in the sidebar, you will see the other partition. Open it and recover the files you need.
    5. After doing that, repeat the step 1.
    6. Select “Macintosh HD” in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    7. Close Disk Utility and install OS X on the first partition.
    After doing all of these steps (you will need a lot of time to do this), you can delete the second partition you created and add the size of this partition into the first one > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU4.html

  • Message "not downloaded from server. You need to take this account online

    After upgrading to 10.4.9, when I click on any of the old emails in my inbox I get the message "this message not downloaded from server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    I can still read all email in any other mailbox.
    I can read all email received after upgrading.
    I appreciate any help.
    G4 17 inch   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   1 gb ram

    You upgraded to 10.4.9 from what?
    If you upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier, the problem is that the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
    Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problem. A similar procedure should allow you to fix other mailboxes that might also be affected:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn’t need to have an .mbox extension.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
    5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
    6. Move any strangely-named Messages-T0x... folders to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected. If you’ve been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
    7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
    The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
    8. Open Mail.
    9. The account’s Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that’s not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
    10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that’s on the Desktop.
    As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
    Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you want and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Take a look at the following article (also referenced in the thread I mentioned at the beginning of this post) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON’T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
    Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
    Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • WHEN YOU PURCHASE RV SHOWS FROM ITUNES ARE YOU ABLE TO PUT IT ON A DVD AND WATCH ON A REAL TV?

    When you purchase a TV show from itunes are you able to put it on a DVD to watch on a real TV?

    Sorry, but no, you can't. The content owners won't allow Apple to allow that feature. You can back up your videos, but you cannot convert them to any other format. If you want play video/movie content purchased from the iTunes Store on your TV, you'll need to connect your computer to your TV or use an iOS device or iPod (one with video out) or an Apple TV.
