10.10.2 I'm trying to install StudioTax. "StudioTaxForMac 2014.mpkg can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." No problem, go to System Preferences -> Security -> click Open Anyway. Authenticate with admin username and password. App installer still doesn't open; the same "can't be opened" message appears I changed the Gatekeeper settings to Anywhere to get the thing installed, but why wouldn't Open Anyway work after authenticating? -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

Buggy software? Have you tried right/control clicking on the package
and then selecting open?

But I suspect you are on to something - I might need to be logged in to an admin account to use the Open Anyway button. Apple is making it harder and harder to use a non-admin account for everyday use. A couple of months ago I had to force a power down, and after every restart for months afterwards, I got the "You shut down your computer because of a problem" message, after normal restarts. I finally figured out to log in to an admin account first after restarting, to banish that message for good. For the first time in years I am seriously considering running again all the time as an admin user. Apple seems to be pushing us in that direction, and the last time it advised us to use a standard account for eveeyday use was 10.6. -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

You should login to an admin account after a crash or unexpected shutdown, yes. > For the first time in years I am seriously considering running again all > the time as an admin user.

I wouldn't recommend it, for all of the obvious reasons I won't bother repeating. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.

With a non admin account you may need to enter admin credentials from time to time or to set "anywhere" to install a non-identifed developer. No big deal. Sudo for other things. It's just best practice to use your computer from a non-admin account regardless of occasional inconveniences.
