Fix the “App can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer” on your MAC

Return to printer solutions | Driver install issues
Written By Alan Maxwell 20th Jun 2024

Your Mac is normally initially set up to only allow Applications found on the App Store to install on your computer as a Security Measure.
Otherwise, it will consider the application to come from an Unidentified Developer and block installation.

To resolve this:

  1. Open your System Preferences
  2. Select “Security and Privacy”
    The package that was blocked (e.g. magicard_mac_osx_driver_v1***.pkg) should be listed here.
  3. Click the padlock to make changes – choose ‘App Store and identified developers’.

If our driver package is listed here, click Open Anyway.

You can change these settings back to the App Store once our driver is successfully installed.

What customers say about our support...

In all fairness, as my question was the opposite of what MagiCard would like to achieve I wasn't really expecting a comprehensive answer. Even though I did not get a solution to my question, the answer was well formulated and even offered some alternatives inducing the effect the alternative would have to the print quality.

I appreciate the service I received during this support ticket. I appreciate being able to correspond via email and I appreciate being able to make contact with you fairly easily. It is very difficult to be able to make contact with people at many companies, but it was very easy to get in touch with you. I appreciate your support and service and am happy to leave a 5 star rating!
