![]() NOTE: if you want, for some reason, to go back to the way macOS Sierra wants it all you have to do is repeat all the steps above but instead of “disable” change it to “enable”. ![]() Now you can go to Preferences>Security & Privacy and choose “Anywhere” ![]() Type in your password ( you won’t be able to see what you’re typing ), and hit enter Open up Terminal, type “sudo spctl –master-disable” ( no quotes ), and hit enterĢ. I’m sorry, but when you talk about creativity, and multitasking, and getting the job done, having to always open System Preferences, look for a section of it, once found click on it than click “Open Anyway” it’s a waste of time. In macOS Sierra that option is missing and, you will always have to go to System Preferences>Security & Privacy> and click on a new button that says “Open Anyway”. However, in previous versions you always had the option to set OS X and allow unsigned apps from “Anywhere”. This was present in previous OS X version too. ![]() Let’s say you want to open a free app like Audacity. Of course you can still open unsigned apps, but it’s a pain in the ass. Gatekeeper checks to make sure the application is safe to run by checking it against the list of apps that Apple has vetted and approved for the Apple Mac Store and/or approved by Apple even if not. Up until now, Gatekeeper also allowed you to open apps downloaded from “Anywhere” but that’s no longer the case. Gatekeeper, first introduced in OS X Mountain Lion, is a Mac security feature that helps protect your Mac from malware and other malicious software. MacOS Sierra is a great update and brings lots of new and much needed improvements but that doesn’t mean that some of the changes can’t be annoying.įor example one of the changes that Gatekeeper comes with is that there’s no immediate way to allow unsigned apps to open.
