I have a software that is bundled using PackageMaker. When i run the installer, the first screen "Introduction" shows up. Clicking on "Continue" takes the user to the 3rd screen "Installation Type" rather than taking the user to 2nd screen "Destination Select". This issue isn't reproducible at will.
Also, I have another issue with this "Destination Select" step.
I have enabled only "Install for me only" option in the Destination Select screen. Default behavior in this screen is for the user to click on this option and then the Continue button is enabled to proceed to 3rd screen. At times, this option "Install for me only" is permanently disabled. Even clicking on it doesn't enable the option. Is there something in the PackageMaker that I need to do/change/use to make this work all the time?
I have experimented a lot on both these issues but have been reaching a deadend always. Any pointers will be helpful.

The Destination Select Pane which you get from <domains enable_anywhere ... /> is generally buggy.

I have encountered the usual Chrome "feature" of displaying "this type of file can harm your computer mac no keep option" when trying to download a file from a filehosting website.
However, when the warning appears there is only ever a "discard" button and not one to "keep" the file as I have seen when using Windows...
Can anybody suggest anything?
Going to the downloads list (Command+Shift+J) shows you the Keep option.
#DickKennedy Helped resolve my woes with a workaround for this by going to Chrome settings and enabling the option "Ask where to save each file before downloading" in the downloads section.
This isn't a fix, but it certainly gets the job done!
Yes - super annoying issue. Luckily a small work-around that works is going to Window -> Downloads and clicking on "Keep" there.
I installed windows 10 on my computer.
Every time I restart my computer, my all new files disappear
and my desktop is empty!!!
Is it a bug or setting issues?
How can I restore my files back
Thanks in advance!
You somehow corrupted your explorer.exe or changed a registry setting :
If you corrupted explorer.exe, best bet is to do a repair or system restore.
To check if explorer.exe is set to your shell:
Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task manager. Click File>Run new Task.
Type REGEDIT, click ok.
Click the plus sign (navigate through) entries:
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-SOFTWARE
-MICROSOFT
-WINDOWS NT
-CurrentVersion
Click the folder WINLOGON
in the box to your right, find the entry Shell.
If the data correspondig to it is not Explorer.exe, double click Shell and modify it to Explorer.exe.
Close the registry,
Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up Task Manager.
File>New Task. Type explorer,
click ok.
I think something is gone wrong by the installation. You can look for the files in C:/users/"you username"/desktop if they arent show there you can try other users in the /user/ directory. Maybe you have a bit of luck and the files are stored by the wrong user by some weird reason.
In the most cases the best solution is to reinstal Windows 10. I think it is faster than looking for an solution. (when you havent install a lot of software)
How you can restore your windows (clean instal) it is explained in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzTNjs8k15Q
Make sure you have an backup from your data ;-)
(sorry for bad english, iam from holland ;-) )
yes it looks like the installation process has not been taken place properly without any interruptions.
The most convenient solution in my experience is:-
1.search locally 'recovery options'through windows 10 search icon on the left bottom corner
2.click "get started" button under "reset my pc".
3.select the option "keep my files".
then once you are safely back in windows 7, again start the process of updating to windows 10 in a fresh manner WITH the pc plugged in to power and with a stable internet connection.
I managed to successfully silence the CrashReport dialog, but when my application crashes and I restart it, I get the annoying dialog as from Title. Is there a way to prevent it to appear, and just let the application run without interruption?
Try this to get rid of the reopening windows:
defaults write -app "Application Name" NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
You may also disable it for every application by selecting this option in the preferences: "Close windows when quitting an application"
And for others reading this thread, to remove the CrashReport do this:
defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType none
Also note that in the source of this information they say:
For this to work one needs to check the box, open the program in
question and immediately close it. On the next re-opening it will work
without Resume.
You may also have to delete:
/Users/…/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/org.python.python.savedState/
I was having a similar problem with google chrome and I could solve it by reading the following link:
https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/22716083?hl=en
Drew Z recommends the following solution there which worked for me:
In the Mac menu bar at the top of the screen, click Go.
Select Go to Folder.
Enter ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/ in the text field, then press Go.
Locate the folder called "Default" in the directory window that opens and rename it as "Backup default."
Try opening Google Chrome again. A new "Default" folder is automatically created as you start using the browser.
Voila! I've just solved this problem by deleting all Unity-related files inside ~Library/Caches folder on my Mac!
For those trying to accomplish this
defaults write -app "Application Name" NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
with Python, you may get the error Couldn't find an application named "Python"; defaults unchanged.
To solve this, repeat the process to get the "reopen windows?" pop-up again, but do not choose an option in the pop-up – leave it alone for now. Right-click on the Python application's icon on the dock and choose "Show in Finder". Right-click on the application icon within Finder, hold the option key, and click Copy "Python" as pathname". Paste that in as the "Application Name" for the command above and it should work.
You can disable this for a specific Xcode scheme by going to Edit Scheme, choosing the Options tab, and checking the box labeled "Launch application without state restoration."
However, this will only apply when you actually launch the application from Xcode; it won't disable the dialog when launching by double-clicking in Finder, or when launching from the terminal.
(As best I can tell, there no way for AppKit/NSApplication-based apps to do what UIKit apps can do with UIApplicationDelegate's application:shouldRestoreApplicationState: and disable persistent state entirely for the application.)
My (sandboxed) OSX application is trying to launch biber (a bibliography tool for LaTeX). However it fails to launch and I get the following message saying that the application has marked biber as quarantined in Console.App.
25/03/2013 16:44:15.000 kernel[0]: exec of /private/var/folders/s1/70f5my9n6wq0_kk7bcxjslhh0000gn/T/com.abc.XYZ/par-64756e63616e737465656c65/cache-ef42c8d5d44e40bdd24828b0ae70de275e379c88/biber denied since it was quarantined by XYZ and not approved by Gatekeeper, qtn-flags was 0x00000002
This does not happen with any of the other binaries invoked by the application.
This application has an active SSB for the whole harddrive so there are no issues launching, or accessing, external files.
Why and how am I marking that file as quarantined, and how to I remove the quarantine so that it can execute? Thanks for your help.
EDIT If it helps, the contents of that directory are
biber
libperl.dylib
running ls -l#eOd shows them both to have the attribute com.apple.quarantine, however I'm not sure what copied them into that directory, or how they gained that flag. The original copies are not quarantined.
Looks like this 'biber' is not an application download from Mac App Store or identified developers (with Apple Developer ID). So you must manually allow its launch.
Usually there are three ways to do this:
Right click on application and click "Open" from the context menu. There will be a warning, just click "Open". OSX will remember your choice and next time it will open.
You can change Gatekeeper's settings: "System Preferences" -> "Security & Privacy" -> "General" tab. Unlock to make changes. Choose "Anywhere" in the "Allow applications downloaded from" section. Note: it decreases security and there will be a warning about it with the proposal to use first solution.
Remove 'quarantine attribute' from the app. In terminal run command: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <your_app>
I prefer the last solution. All solutions are for the applications, but I think will also work for the utility.
I selected 'Don't ask Profile selection option during startup', but how do I disable it since it doesn't allow me to choose a profile prior to startup
from command line: firefox -ProfileManager will ask for profile
see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments
If I understand you correctly, sounds like you want to unselect "Don't ask Profile", then it will ask you. And like RC said, running firefox -P, when firefox is not already running, will allow you to check or uncheck that box in the ProfileManager dialog.
Assuming you're running my version 3.6.16., but I'm pretty sure that's been around for a while.
Some times
firefox -profilemanager
may not work, if it is so, try
firefox --profilemanager
It will open the profile manager window, You could click on "create new" button, give it a relevant name, also specify a location where you want the profile informations to be stored. Then click finish.
Open it again
Uncheck the "Don't ask at start up" checkbox. Then click ok. I think you are done.
