Ventura security problems. I updated to Ventura 13.1 . I can not find a way to run for example VMD, molden etc. These are the programs I used to work with on a daily basis. I am getting the errors: For VMD: “startup.command” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware. For molden: “libgfortran.3.dylib” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store. Your security settings allow installation of only apps from the App Store. I did not find a way to make it work. Could anyone help, please? Is there any official way for system problems for mac users? This is really annoying to struggle with this kind of new features that does not work properly on the updated macOS. I have a feeling that with the every update I am less and less happy with the operating system and regret that abandoned linux enviroment... Thank you in advance for your help, tips and tricks.

Cannot open Sparsebundle file When I try to open My.sparsebundle, I enter my password and I get a pop up that says: “The disk image couldn't be opened Failed to mount filesystems” I don’t know why I’m getting this. I’ve been successfully opening this with the same password for most of this year. I’m certain I’m using the same password. I waited a while, restarted the Mac, enter my password to open this sparsebundle and I still get the same pop up. What is causing this problem?

I'm setting up a new MacBook Pro-14 and have found that I can't search in the Library folder I'm setting up a new MBPro-14 and have found that I can't search in the Library folder. Presumably it's not being indexed by Spotlight. I've tried using Finder search (Cmd-F) instead of Spotlight bar and adding "System files" and "File visibility" but it didn't help. I've never had this problem before (a loooooong time). Is there a new checkbox somewhere? Any suggestions? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Correct, that is only available Starting with macOS 10.14, Mojave.

Is this the point I should advise you to uninstall Sophos, or should I wait until it causes problems?
