xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Chrome.appThanks for the help. The app is in my the app folder. What i did was downloaded the file put it in my apps then put it in my doc. I am really new to using macs, but I love my mac so, if I go launchpad find the terminal and paste:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Chrome.appthe problem should go away?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Did you put Google Chrome into Applications? If not, open the Google Chrome disk image you downloaded from the Internet, and drag it to Applications folder. Then, right-click the disk image in Desktop and choose Unmount. Finally, delete the disk image and open Google Chrome from Applications. You won't be asked anymore
It should have only happened once.
I'm not sure why it doesn't unset the quarantine flag.
You might try using the Terminal to delete the quarantine flag:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Chrome.appIf Chrome is not in the Applications folder (which may be the problem), just type the command up through quarantine and leave a space, then drag Chrome into the Terminal. Hit return.
Isuue solved reinstalled the app and followed the steps you guys said. Thanks!!!
You are welcome
how do I stop the pop up window asking me if im sure I want to open a downloaded app off the internet
