Security Settings for App Store

Trying to download a program I need to take an exam on for school. Can't install the file I downloaded because it says it is from an unidentified developer.
Says that my security preference allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers. Can't seem to find where to turn this off.
Running OS X 10.8.2
Can anyone help me out???

    Can I change the answers to the security questions for my Apple ID?
    Yes. You can change the answers to the security questions provided when you originally signed up for your Apple ID. Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your account.

  • Forced Apple ID security questions for App store - why?

    So why now when I login to go through to the App Store I am faced with a forced "ENTER ADDITIONAL SECURITY QUESTIONS NOW in case my apple ID becomes insecure and needs to be restored" with NO option to OPT OUT of the update.
    It would suggest that Apple has experienced issues and cannot keep my ID secure then !!!!! ????
    So IMPOSED forced updates are the way to go? Well I can tell you now, I will NOT be giving any additonal information as you already have enough of mine to restore this account and since I cannot get past this situation of forced information I can no longer purchase any apps from your store.
    Did you think about how many users that will effect when you imposed the worldwide update?
    Apple, are you getting it yet?
    Stop trying to p*ss your global users off with non opt out forced updates.
    You already keep changeing your App store terms every 2 minutes which I am forced to accept and am totally fed up with doing. Thats called NAG, NAG, NAG, NAG annoying isnt it?
    Let see if your brave enough to post this message and how many complaints have you already had?
    Yours sincerely
    A totally fed up customer, I am off to android where I will not be pestered every 2 minutes.

    In response to:
    If you cannot remember the actual answer to any of these questions then perhaps you are not who you say you are. Most folks easily remember their first teacher, the first car purchase, where their parents met and what they did to celebrate the new millennium.
    The problem is that it's not possible to remember the answers to questions which are not relevant. 
    The choice of questions is extremely limited.  There is no obvious way (or any way at all?) to set our own questions.  Worse, I do have my own personal question set up for My Apple ID under "Password and Security" when I login via the web interface, but there apparently is no way to use these security questions from my iPhone. Not to mention rolling out a change like this with no warning to users. It affects everything realted to App Store from iOS devices and there's no way around it.
    This is an EPIC FAIL by Apple and I disagree with anyone who attempts to defend Apple's decision regarding this. Apple needs to fix this ASAP.

  • TS1424 My app store shows different apple Id. I changed the ID in general settings under app store. Still no changes. Can't update apps now

    Apps store on my iPad shows different apple ID. I changed the ID under general settings for apps store, but it didn't help. Still see different ID when entering the store. Now I can't update apps and resetting iPad doesn't help. What to do?

    Use the correct login/password that the app was purchased with.

    Thank you.
    You’ve taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you.
    The rescue email address that you gave us
    Just click the link below to verify, sign in using your Apple ID and password, then follow the prompts.
    Verify Now >
    The rescue email address is dedicated to your security and allows Apple to get in touch if any account questions come up, such as the need to reset your password or change your security questions. As promised, Apple will never send any announcements or marketing messages to this address.
    When using Apple products and services, you’ll still sign in with your primary email address as your Apple ID.
    It’s about protecting your identity.
    Just so you know, Apple sends out an email whenever someone adds or changes a rescue email address associated with an existing Apple ID. If you received this email in error, don’t worry. It’s likely someone just mistyped their own email address when creating a new Apple ID.
    If you have questions or need help, visit the Apple ID Support site.
    Thanks again,

    But when you enter the link And put my e-mails and PIN seems to me that there is an error in the link
    Please some bady help my ;(
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Never post personal information on a public user forum it is for your own security.
    Now in terms of the security questions if you had this email and it is from a long time ago more than likely the link has expired for security purposes.
    If you have already verified the primary email then try this:
    - go to My Apple ID
    - select "Manage your Apple ID"
    - sign into your Apple ID
    - select Password and Security
    When here check to see if you have a link to get an email to reset your security questions but if not then you will need to contact Apple Care for assistance. You can find the number for AppleCare in your country here:

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Can I use touch ID for App Store without using a passcode?

    It seems that the ony way I can use the touch ID for App Store and iTunes is if I have a passcode to get into my phone. I don't want a passcode, it get in and out of my phone too often to have to unlock it all the time and I hate manually typing in my password for App I buy. Why can't it do both, isn't the touch ID just as secure for purchases even if you don't have to unlock the phone to get to it??

    From the article:
    You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.
    So yes, that's how it's designed. You must have a passcode, though as long as you understand the caveats:
    In addition, you will need to enter your passcode to unlock your iPhone in these conditions:
    After restarting your iPhone 5s
    When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s
    To enter the Touch ID & Passcode setting
    and
    You can't use Touch ID for purchases if Require Password in Settings > General > Restrictions is set to Immediately.
    you should be able to use Touch ID without needing your passcode. If none of those circumstances is true and you're still being asked for your passcode to make a purchase from the iTunes Store, it would seem that something is amiss with your iPhone.

    Greetings chaimba216,
    After reviewing your post, I located an article that can help with resetting your iCloud password:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud password
    Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
    Important: If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
    Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
    After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
    On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
    On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
    In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
    If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How do I change credit card information for app store and itunes

    I am unable to change credit card infor for my app store and itunes?

    What happens when you try to change your card details ?
    You should be able to change your payment details on your computer's iTunes by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iPhone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • Touch ID doesn't work for App Store

    My iPhone 5s touch ID works only on the lock screen. I verified to make sure the fingerprint settings were for both pass code and iTunes or AppStore purchases (which it was) and it doesn't work for a App Store purchases. Help anyone?

    I had the same problem. I did not have restrictions enabled. After reading through similar threads and the Apple support article for using the fingerprint sensor for App Store and iTunes Store, where it says that resteictions cannot be set to "immediately," I decided to enable restrictions and set to "15 minutes." That did the trick for me!

  • HT201371 Touch ID *only* for app-store purchases and iTunes

    I'd like to enable Touch ID for app-store purchases/updates and for iTunes. However, I don't want to have to use a passcode or a touch id in order to unlock the phone. Is this possible?
    I go to settings > touch id & passcode. I click the switch for app store and iTunes. Then it automatically turns on my passcode so I have to use my passcode to unlock my phone. I don't want this passcode to automatically be turned on.

    that still should be up to my discretion. If i dont store anything I consider valuable in the first place, i shouldn't have to have a passcode.
    I want touch id only for my iTunes purchases. Its inconvenient to have to enter it every time i buy something...but I dont want a passcode on my phone.
    Lots of people use my phone at home (for various reasons) and i hate having to tell people the password every time someone new wants too look through it (for example, a dinner party i was at the other day, and everyone wanted to check out my new iPhone 6).
    oh well. Its as first world as a problem gets, but within the scope of the apple universe/ecosystem, it irks me when i dont have the option to remove an annoyance.....i love just swiping the screen and immediately clicking on whatever app i need rather than waste 2 seconds positioning my thumb and wait for it to unlock. like i said, first world problem, but 2 seconds is a pain in the *** in my high speed tech world...and i hate myself just having to re-read what i just wrote

  • How to change the account setting for App Store

    My last question wasn't so clear, so I would like to post again. I want to know how to change the account setting for App Store. I have changed in the Settings but it doesn't reflect in App Store.
    Thanks,

    once you sign out just click sign in and put the new email address in the "Username" field and your correct password then click OK
    it will look like it is doing nothing but give it time and it will sign you in with the new username.
    is it possible you have multiple itunes accounts?
    when you changed your itunes account from your me.com to your gmail.com address did you change it within the itunes Edit Account Info ('Store' menu then select 'View My Account', then sign in , select edit account info) or did you just create another itunes account?
    be well

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

    Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
    Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
    Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.
