Q: ICC Profile installation

I downloaded some Epson ICC profiles that came in a .sea Stuffit installer package. Mavericks won't allow me to install it because it didn't come from the Apple Store. How can I do this?

    The reason you can't install it is that OS X stops the running of any app that isn't signed by a developer. That doesn't mean it's automatically bad, it just isn't signed. Right click on the item and choose Open. This is a temporary bypassing of the built-in Gatekeeper.

     

    However, it's still unlikely you'll be able to open the file since it requires a Mac with a PowerPC CPU to open a .sea package, which stands for Self Extracting Archive. In other words, a compressed image like a .zip file. If you have Snow Leopard running on any Intel based Mac, and have the PPC Rosetta emulator installed, you'll be able to open it there, then bring the .icc files over to the Mac you need them on.
