Working with Gatekeeper

When using Mac OS X, depending on the Gatekeeper security function setting, a warning message might appear during installation.

The solution depends on the warning message shown.

See the following explanations for details.

When the Gatekeeper setting is “Allow applications downloaded from: the Mac App Store”

The following security warning might be shown: “TASCAM_

SS250 CONTROL.pkg” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.”

Changing the Gatekeeper setting

The Gatekeeper setting can be changed using the “Allow

apps downloaded from:” item on the “General” page of the

Security & Privacy” pane of the System Preferences.

To change this, you must click the lock icon ( ) at the bottom left and enter a password to unlock the settings.

you sure you want to open it?” security warning message appears, click the “Open” button.

This setting will lock again when you click the button or type command-Q to close the System Preferences or when you click “Show All” to close the open pane.

CAUTION

Changing the Gatekeeper setting could result in security risks.

If you changed the Gatekeeper setting to decrease security

(use one of the lower settings), set it back to the original setting after installing the application.

This warning message might also appear when the Gatekeeper setting is something other than “Allow applications

downloaded from: Mac App Store.

The following security warning might be shown: “TASCAM_

SS250 CONTROL.pkg” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.

In this case, copy the file from the folder where it is to the desktop or another folder, and then open it. Alternatively, change the Gatekeeper settings to “Allow apps downloaded

from: App Store and identified developers” and try opening it again.
