Hi, I just had a new hard drive - reinstalled all the progs/apps
But now when I try to install a variety of newer apps the process is stuck on "Verifying xxxx.pkg"
This seems to be a common problem but I could not find a general fix.
Grateful for any help.
Best, D
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), Mid 2010
I think i find a solution that will make it to successfully bypass the system verifying process.
Open terminal app, run this:
defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool NO
Restart is required to make it work.
Hope it helps.
Check your Gate Keeper settings. You probably need to turn it off- OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support
System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General. Select Anywhere.
Going by your system info, your os is outdated and you need to install several security updates. You should update your os to 10.10.5 and play catchup on everything else per what is listed in the Update tab.
When done, repair permissions and restart your computer. Let me know if your issue is resolved.
My system is up-to-date 10.11.6 with the latest security patch. I think the latest security patch caused this since it never happened before. I've been installing stuff the last three months until this bug appeared after the latest patch.
Until Apple fixes their bug, I have to install with potentially corrupted pkg using:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app
If you don't see the Library folder: OS X El Capitan: Library folder
I figure, as long as the source is trusted and the certificate is valid...
If a window does not open to request the pkg to run, select Open in the Installer.app File menu.
Let's see how it takes for them to respond... software quality's been going downhill for a few years.
Thanks but I already have it turned off...
