When I downloaded iCam Source to my Mac there was an error stating that I had to obtain software from the App Store. But the software isn't available on the App Store. What do I do?
Hi Jsavell,
That sounds like it is an OS X security setting. Click on the
Apple icon in the menu bar (upper left corner) and choose
System Preferences from the menu.
In the system preferences, on the top row, you will see a setting group named
Security and Privacy. Click on that.
Once in the Security and Privacy settings, go to the
General sheet (or tab).
The bottom of that sheet will have a setting group:
Allow apps downloaded from:.
You'll have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner and enter an administrator username/password to make changes.
It's probably set to only allow apps from the App store. Change that to
App Store and identified developers and try to run the installer again.
Some applications are not from "identified developers" and I don't recall whether iCam Source was, but when the developer isn't "identified" you should get prompts asking if you want to allow it to install anyway.
Hope this helps.
