I just updated my Macbook Pro to Big Sur version 11.1 but after that update, they don't allow me to open up new downloads anymore and need permission from the owner even though I am the owner. Any help or solution for this?

You . Since most of us aren't signing the app, you'll likely also need to force it to open (instructions at the bottom).

Apple is slowly but certainly trying to disable external apps that haven't gone through their appstore; both so they can get their 30% rake, and so they can control what you're using the computer for. As with iOS, assume that nothing naughtier than primetime American TV will be allowed.

try this


Open Terminal or iTerm and type sudo chmod -R 755, then drag the .app into the window, which will bring the full path into Terminal or iTerm. This worked for me, moving the -R option directly after chmod.

It will look like this:

sudo chmod -R 755 Path\ to\ app\ file.app
