OS X Mavericks :: Can Run Installed Program As Administrator

Jun 21, 2014

I've installed a program on my 2008 Mac Pro (Mavericks) called CyberViewX, which is an application for a 35mm film scanner I recently purchased, a PrimeFilm XE.  The program is actually installed in the TWAIN directory tree on the Mac. (Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources) 

When I log on to a "regular" admin level account (that is, the account does have administrative privileges) the program will not run; it thinks for a bit, and then says "please run as administrator" 

If I open a terminal window, drill down to the program executable (it's actually buried quite deeply in the application's directory tree, but no matter), and run the program with a sudo command (sudo ./CyberViewX) and enter my admin password when prompted, the program runs fine. 

Is there an easier way to do this - that is, to have the program always run with "administrator" privileges, so I don't get the error message.  If nothing else, the program is also invoked by other software that came with the scanner; these programs will not work, because they use CyberViewX to actually acquire images, and CyberViewX gives the same "Please run as administrator" error message .

OS X Mavericks :: Administrator Account Unavailable

Jun 24, 2014

Two days ago when I woke up and open my MacBook Pro (OS Maverick), I started with a strange windows (than we can get with cmd+r). My hard drive was broken so I followed the proposed steps. I made a backup with TimeMachine. I lost a lot of data 'cause I wasn't able to go back on the Finder and save the things I need. So, I lost important things... Well, after Time Machine backup, I had few more troubles. Now, I can't use a lot of my software. I try to update everything, BUT my user profil isn't administrator anymore.

OS X :: How To Find Spy Program Installed Locally On Computer

Sep 20, 2010

If someone installs a spy-program locally on a computer, how would you go about finding it and/or rectifying the situation? A friend has reason to believe that someone installed software on their OS X computer to gather information. They may or may not have had the password, and she thinks they got on locally. How would she go about finding any such programs installed? She is reluctant to to a clean install (the only suggestion that I could think of).

OS X :: Program Installed Without Asking Admin Password Safe?

Jan 4, 2011

If a program can be installed without it asking for an admin password (similar to the way firefox can be installed: you just drag and drop into the applications folder and you're all set), then that program is usually safe, right?

MacBook Pro :: Mavericks Cannot Be Installed On This Volume

Sep 2, 2014

Been dealing with some issues, thought I'd try for a clean install of Mavericks.  I get a message that Mavericks cannot be installed on this volume.  I have a brand new 2.8 GHz MacBook Pro, when I received it I just do what I've done many times before and used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy my old boot volume on to the new computer.  I did, however, partition the drive (1 TB SSD) into manageable and useful segments.  The message I'm getting I feel is saying that this computer doesn't use Mavericks, or the version I have (from the App Store).

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), 16 GB RAM - 1TB SSD - SuperDrive

OS X Mavericks :: How To Make 2 Copies Of Same Program With Different Settings

Jun 1, 2014

I need to have 2 copies of Mozilla Firefox with abolutely separate settings on my iMac. 

On my previous PC I had 2 portable copies of FIrefox from portableapps.com Can something like that be performed on iMac?  

Why: sometimes I need to use a US proxy setiings in brouser (to purchase @ US stores that block foreign IPs). On the other hand I have my main everyday Firefox set up for my everyday needs. Switching settings is quite annoying. I just had a separate copy of FF on my PC for use with US proxe settings before i moved to iMac.

OS X Mavericks :: Preview Program Has Not Been Working Properly

Jun 3, 2014

About a week ago my preview program has not been working properly.  Whenever i try and put text into my pdf documents the preview program shows the ‘spinning wheel of death’ at the point of saving…(I don’t know what else to call that multicoloured candy-looking spinning thing) It does not freeze up with ALL pdf…just some of them.  I was thinking about deleting preview and then reinstalling it..but my mac system does not allow me.   One perhaps important thing is:  when i edit the ‘stubborn’ pdf files, and then press ‘save’ nothing happens.  I have to press save twice…then the program becomes inactive.

OS X Mavericks :: (10.9.4) Detect Recently Installed Unauthorized Remote Control Applications

Sep 5, 2014

One day ago I allowed remote access control to my Mac Book Pro OS10.9.4 to a company pretending to be Apple Authorized Online Services. After discovering this was a scam I need to be sure that they didn't leave or installed any app (hidden or not) and if so, how to delete it to prevent them to access my Mac again.  

It would also be useful if there is a way to find out which information they may have accessed during the mentioned "session".
