I've installed the Apache Flex SDK Installer from https://flex.apache.org/installer.html as you can see from the following image. When I double click it, it does absolutely nothing.
Any help gratefully received, thanks in advance.
You will need to open app contents:
Then find the SDK installer and open with Terminal:
You will then probably been blocked from installing software from an unidentified developer. Go to Systems Preferences > Security & Privacy and click the "Open Anyway" button. You might be asked for your password. Then you might get an error that reads "Unable to load http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml". Close the installer, then start again. Hopefully the installation will work second time around, it did for me.
Three dropdowns are presented, to select: Flex version; AIR version; and Flash Player version. Ensure these are set to the latest versions (which aren't betas). For me that was: Flex SDk 4.16.0; AIR 26; and Flash Player 26. If you do not do this, when you try to add the SDK to Flash Builder later (via Flash Builder > Preferences > Flash Builder > Installed Flex SDKS > Add...) you will find yourself plagued by the error discussed in this forum thread: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35289
You will be asked to choose a directory for the installation, one which: 1. is acceptable (although no definition of acceptability is outlined); and 2. is empty. I made a new directory entitled "4.16.0" in /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.7/sdks which the installer was happy with.
After which there were no further problems. Not with the installation anyway. Flash Builder itself failed to open after this. That is a new problem which I asked about, and which was successfully answered here: Flash Builder 4.7 does not open after installing Apache Flex SDK 4.16.0

I am using the Packages software to build my application into a pkg file for installation on other Macs. I've used it before on my old MacBook and it worked great. I am trying it on my new Mac and I cannot view the Presentation Tab. Whenever I click the Presentation Tab under Project, the screen stays the same as the prior tab I was on. So I can't configure the Presentation. Has anyone else had this problem? I've reinstalled Packages and still no change. I'm not sure if my configurations are wrong or what's going on. I'm running Ventura 13.0.1 on my MacBook.
I'm including a screenshot that shows the Presentation Tab is active, but the Settings tab is still visible (that's the tab I switched from).
I'd love some help, I really want to configure the presentation. Thanks.
I had the same problem and got in touch with the Packages dev team. They provided this link to dev build, which fixes this issue now. I suppose in the next release it is going to be fixed.

I installed MagicDraw 190_sp3 on my mac but it couldn't be opened. When I try to open it shows the error that the developer couldn't be verified. Can anyone help me in this regard, please?
Is your macOS showing an error alert like below?
If so, your app is not signed and notarized.
If you’re certain that an app you want to install is from a trustworthy source and hasn’t been tampered with, you can temporarily override your Mac security settings to open it.
If you still want to open an app for which the developer cannot be verified, open System Preferences. Go to Security & Privacy. Make sure Allowed apps downloaded from is set to App Store and identified developers. Click the Open Anyway button in the General pane to confirm your intent to open or install the app.
The warning prompt reappears, and if you're absolutely sure you want to open the app anyway, you can click Open.
The app is now saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it, just as you can any authorized app.
See this KB from apple for details
Thanks for your answer kakaiikaka.
I did all of those steps but it was still showing the problem, then I found out the problem was with my JDK version on my JVM. So, I installed JDK version 8 and again tried to open this and it worked as a charm!
Aptana studio used to work fine on OS X El Capitan but after updating to Sierra it doesn't work anymore... Can anybody help me fix this? I keep getting a crash log every time screenshot uploaded I open the app. Something I've noticed is that the aptana icon in the applications is a folder and not just a normal app icon. Earlier as I remember it was just a normal app icon on El Capitan. I use aptana on a daily basis as a university student so its vital for me for this to work.
Edit: I have tried a lot of methods including reinstalling java but still it doesn't work. Only way to make it work is to open up the application package and open the terminal executable aptana3. It runs perfectly then but if I launch from the usual app drawer icon it crashes.
This security measure can correct it from System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> General tab.
By default, Sierra, the option “Allow applications downloaded from does not appear Anywhere “. But with a simple instruction from the command line so we can correct.
Go to the folder Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
In Terminal, enter or copy…
sudo spctl --master-disable
Type your password (it will not appear, however it is present) and press Enter
Click the lock and enter your Administrator password to make changes.
After changing this option, and can install any software, so if compatible with OS 10.12.
Open finder and navigate to "Applications -> Aptana"
Right click on the Aptana executable and click show contents
Navigate to "Content -> MacOS"
Double click click on AptanaStudio3
You will get a popup saying you need legacy Java SE 6
Click "More Info..." button and download and install it (very slow download, just wait it out)
Once installed double click the AptanaStudio icon in step 4 and Aptana Studio 3 will open
You will need to use that as the shortcut as the Aptana icon from installation will still not work.
Good luck.
I have same problem and solved with some workaround.
First download and install java for mac: https://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1572/en_US/javaforosx.dmg
If this not work or you reinstalled aptana after upgrading to sierra I advice to find a old copy of aptana directory and put it to application directory.
I had the same problems on MacOS Sierra; crashing on load, or the JVM error if I launch from within the package contents.
I didn't find any solution to this directly, but instead I installed the latest version of Eclipse first, then installed Aptana from Eclipse. That seems to be working.
In order to use Aptan on El Capitan, first you must install the legacy java 6 version for mac:
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The only thing is that you won't be able to access it like a normal application on your mac.
To open Aptana you must run:
Applications -> Aptana(right click to "Show package contents") -> Contents -> MacOS -> AptanaStudio3
I just downloaded XCode_6_beta_6.dmg from the official apple website. However, when prompted to drag the installation to the application folder, it just unarchived the installation but does not install XCode_6_beta_6. When i try to open xcode_6_beta_6 from the applications folder, the new xcode6 beta icon just keeps popping in the application dock and does nothing. How do i overcome this situation so that the new xcode6 beta is installed on my machine?
For some weird reason, apple does not trust this installation and hence does not continue.
Please follow the below instructions to continue with the installation.
Open System Preferences
Open Security and Privacy
Unlock the settings screen if it is not already unlocked.
select "Anywhere" from the "Allow apps downloaded from:" section.
lock and close the preferences screen.
Your installation shall start in a moment!!
Also happened to me. Used Deepak's fix but had an additional strange problem where the Icon would still stay bouncing in the dock. Be patient & wait (for me it took a good 10 minutes!) for a dialogue box to eventually appear saying 'This is an application downloaded from the internet, do you want to open?' Obviously click 'Open'. Odd, considering it's Apple's own app.
I'm trying to get Network Link Conditioner working on my machine that is running OS X Mavericks. I'm running Developer Preview 8 (the latest as of this writing). I downloaded the "Hardware IO Tools for Xcode 5 Developer Preview - June 2013" to get the Network Link Conditioner pref pane. I have also tried the version of Network Link Conditioner from the previous Hardware IO Tools bundle which fails to open with a "Could not load Network Link Conditioner preference pane." error when trying to load it.
With the version for Xcode 5 I get one of two fail states.
First, when I open NLC and click the lock icon to "make changes" I see the administrator unlock window that says:
com.apple.Network-Link-Conditioner.remoteservice.xcp wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.
When this shows up I am unable to enter my password. No keyboard characters are registered in the password field, or in any other application until I cancel the password prompt. I have no trouble with the equivalent dialog in any other preference panes.
Second, I am sort of able to get past the password issue by uninstalling the latest NLC pref pane, installing the previous version, uninstalling the previous version, and then re-installing the latest NLC preference pane. However, I note that the password dialog is different in this case. I get the more generic:
System Preferences wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.
In this second failed state, once I type in my password the NLC pref pane is fully accessible but has zero affect on my network link.
Has anyone been able to use the Network Link Conditioner successfully on OS X Mavericks?
Update:
The version of Hardware IO Tools released on October 22 and the final release of Mavericks appear to be working excellent.
Try re-installing it. It fixed the issue for me, though I was having different error messages.
Open System Preferences, right-click (or control-click) on the Network Link Conditioner and click "Remove Network Link Conditioner" to remove it.
In Xcode got to the Xcode menu -> Open Developer Tool -> More Developer Tools...
In the browser window that opens, grab the most recent Hardware IO tools .dmg
Double click the "Network Link Conditioner.prefPane" on the disk image to install it.
How I got it solved was:
Uninstall "Network Link Conditioner", open System Preferences and press CTRL and click on the "Network Link Conditioner" icon. Select "Delete".
Restart Computer
Download "Hardware IO tools" dmg for your version on XCode, from https://developer.apple.com/download/ you have to be logged in for this.
Open it and Install "Network Link Conditioner"
Restart the computer one last time.
It should be working fine now!
I was also having problems with Network Link Conditioner working after upgrading to Mavericks. For me the problem was the default security settings after the upgrade that prevented software from running unless it came form the Mac App Store.
Updating this setting:
System Settings > Security & Privacy > General > Allow apps downloaded from: > Anywhere
and reinstalling the Network Link Conditioner pref pane fixed it for me. Without this setting you can install and enable it, but it has no effect and silently fails.
On macOS Sierra v10.12.1 with Xcode 8.1, I tried a couple of the Hardware IO Tools for Xcode downloads. All of which resulted in a silent failure like #aidaan such that the Network Link Conditioner plain didn't do anything.
After finding this discussion, I uninstalled the previous Hardware IO Tools for Xcode components, and instead utilized the Additional Tools for Xcode 8.1 downloaded from the downloads page, the Network Link Conditioner in the Hardware directory for that .dmg worked perfectly.
