How to Fix “Unidentified Developer” Message on OS X Mountain Lion

Few minutes back we told you about the famous Jailbreaking Tool Absinthe was not working on OS X Mountain Lion and it was blocked by the Gatekeeper in OS X Mountain Lion. Gatekeeper is a new security feature in OS X Mountain Lion that allows you take control of piracy and privacy on your MAC. Gatekeeper simply allows one to install/run the Apps that are made by Identified Developer and downloaded from MAC App Store or only from the MAC App Store. By this security, one gets limited to access third party Apps. They cannot download and run third party Apps on their MAC.

The best practical example we can get is of the Jailbreaking Tools. Those are not from Apple. Jailbreaking Tools are made by third parties that are iOS Hackers and Developers. They don’t release the Jailbreaking Tools in the MAC App Store. They simply upload the Tools on their websites or blogs from different platforms. However, development is done on MAC.

Now the problem is that how can we use those Apps on our MAC and avoid getting the Message of Unidentified Developer while running them.

The solution is simple and easy. All you need to do is just follow the steps below and then run the App that was giving error previously. It would be running flawlessly.

Step 1:

Open up your Settings.App in MAC. Then go into Security and Privacy.

Step 2:

Now here you will see three options below.

MAC App Store Only

MAC App Store and Identified Developer

Anywhere

The Second Option is checked by Default.

To Run third party Apps, simply select Anywhere.

Step 3:

When you will select Anywhere, it will prompt you with a Warning stating to change the option or not. Go for change.

Once done, Close the settings and re run the Application that was not working.

If the Application still doesn’t works, the Application needs to be updated to work with OS X Mountain Lion.

Do let u know if you succeeded. We would love to hear your feedback.

Absinthe Jailbreak Tool Blocked in OS X Mountain Lion by Gatekeeper

The day before yesterday, Apple unleashed OS X Mountain Lion for public. The OS X Mountain Lion came out roaring with an increment sales in just few hours and becoming the most popular download in the MAC App Store. The future of OS X was priced for $19.99, the cheapest release of OS X ever. This cheapest release of OS X Mountain Lion might have won the heart of Millions, but on the other hand, it created problems for the Jailbreak Community. Keeping security in mind Apple made OS X Mountain Lion more secure than the previous builds. Making the security more tightened, they released a security tool called Gatekeeper in OS X Mountain Lion.

This security tool stops the Apps that are not released or are not from the MAC App Store to run on your MAC. To avoid this security, you need to run the App downloaded from MAC App Store or by identified Developer. So, in case of Absinthe, the OS X prompts up an error when you try to Jailbreak your iDevice stating that the App cannot be opened because it is released by an unidentified developer and the app closes.

How ever, the Redsnow 0.9.14b2 version for iOS 5.1.1 Jailbreak is fully compatible with OS X Mountain Lion. All you need to do is just press Ctrl-Click-Open. To by pass the security for the first time as stated on Dev-Team Blog.

So far, we cannot say anything regarding a new release of Absinthe Tool or something related to a fix or anything. We expect to see this issue resolved in your OS X Mountain Lion, rather than a new release of Absinthe Tool for this issue.

We will update you as soon as we hear anything regarding this issue or find a fix for this.

UpdateX1:

We have posted method here to make the third party Apps work on OS X Mountain Lion. Unfortunately, Absinthe doesn’t works by that Method. After our method, Absinthe only shows a popup to open the App and then it is closed.

So, expect a new update to Absinthe Tool for OS X Mountain Lion only.

The future of OS X is about to arrive after few hours on an unknown time. The long speculated OS X Mountain Lion release date has now been made official. The rumored date was 25^th July 2012 that is Wednesday, means tomorrow. This date has been officially confirmed by the C.E.O of Apple Tim Cook in an official statement present here. As the date for the release of OS X Mountain Lion is confirmed, you must ask you self a question that is your MAC all ready to get the smoothest update? The answer must be a big “NO” because you never thought to make your MAC ready for the finest update that is on its way.

Although the installation of OS X Mountain Lion would be done via MAC App Store and no CD/DVD, still you need to take some precautions to avoid after installation problems. The installation would take max 30 minutes or less to install on you system, but you never know that what you end up with. You might end up with crashing the MAC during Software installation or after the installation is done. Now this would be painful for you to bear with the crashing situation. To avoid all the problems before installation of OS X Mountain Lion, we would recommend that you should go with the following maintenance tasks.

Phase 1: is your MAC Eligible for the OS X Mountain Lion Update?

Before you even think about the name of OS X Mountain Lion, you should ask your self if the MAC you got is eligible for the update or not. In other words, you need to know if your MAC Model meets the system requirement or not because most of the MAC sold in previous years wouldn’t be getting OS X Mountain Lion even though they got OS X Lion.

Therefore, it is very necessary to meet the System requirements for the OS X Mountain Lion update.

The official System requirements are as follows:
- OS X v10.6.8 or later
- 2GB of memory
- 8GB of available space
The list of supported Models by Apple is as follow:
- iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
- MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
- Xserve (Early 2009)
- MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
- Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
How to Find The model of Your MAC?

To see if the machine you qualify for the OS X Lion, Simply got to the Apple logo on your screen that navigates you to a menu. Then go to about this MAC and over there, you can find all the details about your MAC. To see more details about your MAC simply go into more information and find the details about the model of your MAC.

Like I have shown you the details of my MAC Book Pro.

Phase 2: Back up Your MAC Data before you plan to update.

If your MAC is eligible to update to OS X Mountain Lion, then this is the most important step that you need to do before updating to OS X Mountain Lion. You need to back up your MAC Data. Don’t only backup the files; do test them to be on the safe side.

To backup your data on MAC, you don’t need to have any high skills or knowledge or a programmer. Apple has made your life easier with the help of the software called Time Machine. The Time Machine allows you backup all of your data on the MAC with a single click.

How to Enable Time Machine to Perform Data backup?

This is the important step for the MAC users to be known. To use Time Machine you don’t need to rush over the Internet or use some filthy guides to use the Time Machine Backup. All you need to do is follow the steps below to enable it and use it.

Step 1:

Navigate to settings.App and over there you will find a green color icon with the name of Time Machine.

Open that.

Step 2:

Now the software will ask you set up a backup disk. Simply plugin any external Hard disk drives to use it as a backup for your MAC Data.

Once done, you are done with the backup.

Or you can use Carbon Copy Software for the backup.

Phase 3: Time to Roar With Mountain Lion Software Update.

After going through all the phases and meeting all the requirements from software to hardware, you are now officially authorized to update to OS X Mountain Lion and enjoy future of OS X. Now all you have to do is just wait for the official Launch of the OS X Lion. When it is released, simply buy it, download it, and update to it to feel the revolution of OS X after iOS.
