Publisher could not be verified message
I am very confused, I had itunes installe don my computer, and wante dto move it to an external hard drive I bought. I couldnt figure out how to move it so I uninstalled it and when I went to reinstall itunes on the external It now tells me the publisher could not be verified. I have tried to dump all temp files, and i have tried clicking run and save both. still nothing. Now we have three ipods that are worthless with out itunes....HELP!!!! please.....
okay. try downloading fresh definitions and running vigorous spyware and virus scans. if your security software providers offer them, try running "online" scans too. (they can sometimes pick up an infection even if the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
(checking on this because sometimes malware will disable Windows componentry relevant to the verification of digital signatures and publishers.)

Script Repository "publisher could not be verified" error
Hello,
I'm trying to add a script to the script repository, but when I test it to download it, I get the "publisher could not be verified" error. My script is not signed. I do not get this error when downloading other user's scripts, even though
their scripts are not signed either. Is this an issue with signing my script? Why does my script receive this "publisher" error while other scripts do not? I don't want to scare users away with a big red error when they try to download my script!Not a scripting issue.
You likely need to either zip the script or give it a different extension. The message is from your browser not from the repository.

Publisher could not be verified with new executable
We have a .exe file on our clients which is replaced yesterday with a new one. When a user on the client is starting the new executable then a message appears: publisher cannot be verified, do you no for sure to run this application?
The exe file is in the program files\subfolder\
The executable is starting with parameters: / servername.
It is the same executable as the one that was overwritten only a newer version so i do not understand why to give permission to start this exe.
I can choose in the message for execute but the next time it starts it must be done again. Because the users on the clients are not administrators they choose for execute in the message then they must give credentials. If in that screen the user chooses
for NO the program executes without credentials.
We do not want the question for publishing appearing, why is it suddenly appearing if it is the same name as the older one....
freddieHi,
This error happens so because the application chosen to run does not have a valid signature.
Would you please update the signature in your new version of exe file?
Please use following tool to verify the signature or sign your exe file:

If you know, what you open is always safe, we can try to disable this message:
Disable: The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software message

Frustrated - the publisher could not be verified error - help!
I am really frustrated trying to get this to work - here's what I did -
Everything was running fine with 8.2.1. with my iphone - no problems.
I decided to upgrade using the program auto updater. Tried many times but kept getting an error and it stopped the download.
So I thought I'll just uninstall everything and start again. I uninstalled itunes and quicktime. I uninstalled bonjour. All folders are gone. The only thing I left on there was the iPhone configuration utility, so not sure if that makes a difference. I've tried the options they suggest online. But I keep getting the warning, "the publisher cold not be verified do I want to run it" .. and when I hit RUN, nothing happens. I've also tried to take the itunessetup filed and right click, running as administrator. Sill no luck.
What else can I do?
I even went to an oldapps site to download the version that was working but it doesn't load now either. Appreciate any help!Okay, I finally got it to work. I uninstalled Norton anti-virus protection (which was not turned on anyway). Then windows installed service pack 2 tonight, then I re-downloaded the itunes installer file again. Clicked on it, and the warning came up again and I said to still run the file like I always had. For some reason this time it actually started and it's now installed. Everything appears to be working normally.

After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely." What do I do now? This is an iMac and I'm running 10.6.8.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it. See below for how to clone a drive.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
You may be able to backup your data if you have an erased external drive you can use. Before you do the above but after you have opened Disk Utility you can try to clone your drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Now this will only work if the drive is accessible and can be cloned by Disk Utility. Otherwise, you would need to access your drive from another Mac that you can connect via Firewire - Target Disk Mode. -
I just tried to buy Mountain Lion but I am getting this message, yes, even after I reboot: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
I don't understand what this means? Is my MacBookPro too old to work with Mountain Lion?The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, 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 I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Hope it helps. -

What can I do to get my product?

I went to Purchases and it worked from there having had the same problem you describe.

I received this message while trying to install this Add-on, "Signing could not be verified. -260". Is there any way I can get it to install? Since it was listed on your site I would think it would be relatively safe to try out! Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.
cor-el, thanks for the feedback. I tried deleting the META-INF folder as you suggested and tried installing it. It appeared to install but once Firefox was restarted it did not show up in the Add-on's list. I then tried leaving the folder there but deleting the "zigbert.rsa" file as it seemed to be the one with the signing or verification information and that maybe the other two files had information necessary for the install. Once again it appeared to install but it did not show up in the Add-on's list. I have to assume from this that it did not install. Thanks for your help but I guess I'll just have to pass on this Add-on and not worry about it. Thank you so much for your assistsance! If there is anything else I can try I will but otherwise I am happy to just forget about it.

Hi, every time I attempt to purchase OXS Mountain Lion I get a message that says unable to complete your purchase because "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." Any idea what I am doing wrong, cheers.

I tried to re-download Mavericks after an apparent failed attempt and now I get the message "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
Can anybody help?Several causes for this problem have been reported. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when it's resolved.
Step 1
Back up all data.
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
Step 2
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 3
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
