Open a Mac app from an unidentified developer. If you try to open an app that isn’t registered with Apple by an identified developer, you get a warning dialog. This doesn’t necessarily mean that something’s wrong with the app. For example, some apps were written before developer ID registration began. Jul 20, 2017 DMG files are mounted by your system, like a sort of virtual hard drive. When you’re done installing the application, it’s a good idea to unmount the DMG in Finder when you’re done installing: just click the “Eject” arrow. Then you can feel free to delete the original DMG file: you don’t need it anymore. The installer finishes by adding a menu bar item and creating the Google Drive folder under your home directory. Using Google Drive on Your Mac The heart of working with Google Drive is the Google Drive folder, where you can store items you want to save to the. Dec 01, 2016 This tutorial will help you create a bootable USB flash drive for your Mac on a Windows computer. In order for this to work you should have a USB flash drive. The one I used in my tutorial was. By default, you can find this file in the following folder: C: Program Files Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager for Mac client. Extract the client installation files. Copy Macclient.dmg to a Mac computer. Mount the Macclient.dmg file in macOS, and then copy the contents to a folder on the Mac computer. Create a.cmmac file.
One of the aspects where Macs differ from Windows PCs the most is when it comes to installing applications. On Macs, you need mount a disk image and then unmount it and delete once the installation is finished, which can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you have to test many apps in a short amount of time.
Add an app to the sidebar: Press and hold the Command key, then drag the app icon to the Favorites section. Remove an item: Drag the item’s icon out of the sidebar until you see the remove sign. The link to the item in the sidebar disappears, but the item remains in its original location on your Mac.
Thinking of that, this time we’ll share a couple of neat little workflows that you can implement on your Mac using Automator. With any of them, every time you are done with an app installation on your Mac, you’ll be able to eject/unmount and delete the disk image in just a couple of clicks.
Let’s get started with how to set up these nice Automator workflows.
Delete DMG Files Automatically When You Eject Them
Step 1: Open Automator and choose to create a new document. From the available document types that show up on the dialog box, select Service.
Step 2: At the top of the right panel, make sure to choose from the dropdown menus the options ‘no input’ and ‘Finder’ respectively so that the end result is as the one pictured below.
Step 3: Next, on the left panel of Automator, search for the Run AppleScript action and drag it to the right panel. An AppleScript window will show up with some placeholder code in it.
Delete that code and instead copy and paste the following one in the script box:
tell application 'Finder'
set selection_list to selection
if (count selection_list) < 1 then
display dialog ¬
'Please select a volume mounted from a disk image.' with title ¬
'No Selection Found' with icon stop ¬
buttons ['OK'] default button 1
return
end if
set my_selection to item 1 of selection_list
set my_kind to kind of my_selection
set my_name to name of my_selection
if my_kind is not 'Volume' then
display dialog ¬
'Please select a volume mounted from a disk image file.' with title ¬
'Selection is not a Disk Image' with icon stop ¬
buttons ['OK'] default button 1
return
end if
set volume_list to paragraphs of (do shell script 'hdiutil info | grep ^/dev/disk | grep -o '/Volumes/.*')
set source_list to paragraphs of (do shell script 'hdiutil info | grep ^image'-'alias | grep -o '/.*')
set match_found to false
repeat with v from 1 to (count volume_list)
if '/Volumes/' & my_name = item v of volume_list then
set match_found to true
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
if match_found is not equal to true then
display dialog ¬
'The selected volume does not appear to be a Disk Image.' with title ¬
'Could not find Disk Image' with icon stop ¬
buttons ['OK'] default button 1
return
else
set my_source to POSIX file (item v of source_list) as alias
move my_source to the trash
eject my_selection
--reveal my_source
end if
end tell
Step 4: Now save this Automator service and give it a name that is easy to remember.
Step 5: Once this is done, every time you have a disk image mounted, all you have to do is select it and on the Finder menu select Services and then Eject and Delete (or whatever you named the service you just created) and the disk image file will be both unmounted and deleted with one click.
Now, let’s take a look at another Automator workflow that achieves the same objective doing exactly the opposite.
Eject DMG Files Automatically When You Drag Them To the Trash
As you can see from the title, this Automator workflow allows you to achieve the same purpose, except that in reverse, so you can avoid this message every time you drag to the trash a mounted DMG file.
Here are the steps to create it.
Step 1: Create a new document in Automator and select Folder Action from the available document types.
Step 2: At the top of the right panel, select Other… from the dropdown menu. Then, on the dialog box that pops over, type ~/.Trash to work with that folder.
Step 3: Next, on the left panel, drag the Run Shell Script action to the right panel. On the two dropdown menus that show up, select /usr/bin/python and as arguments respectively.
Step 4: Replace the placeholder script in the script box with the following one:
![Item Item](/uploads/1/2/6/1/126155886/680958346.png)
import string, os, sys
lines = os.popen('hdiutil info').readlines()
should_eject = False
for line in lines:
if line.startswith('image-alias'):
path = line.split(':')[1]
image_path = path.lstrip().rstrip()
if image_path in sys.argv:
should_eject = True
elif line.startswith('/dev/') and should_eject is True:
os.popen('hdiutil eject %s' % line.split()[0])
should_eject = False
elif line.startswith('###'):
should_eject = False
Once done, save the Folder Action and quit Automator. Now, whenever a DMG file is mounted, all you’ll have to do is drag it to the Trash and it will be unmounted at the same time.
Cool Tip: You can also create keyboard shortcuts for these actions by following the instructions at the end of this tutorial.And there you go. Two different workflows to enable a very convenient feature on your Mac. Now all left to do is just choose which one you find more convenient. And the best of all? In both cases you’ll learn a bit more about Automator. Enjoy!

How to Fix Mac Folder With Question Mark
-->Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)
Follow the high-level steps in this article to upgrade the client for Mac computers by using a Configuration Manager application. You can also download the Mac client installation file, copy it to a shared network location or a local folder on the Mac computer, and then instruct users to manually run the installation.
Note
Before you do these steps, make sure that your Mac computer meets the prerequisites. See Supported operating systems for Mac computers.
Download the latest Mac client
The Mac client for Configuration Manager isn't supplied on the Configuration Manager installation media. Download it from the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager - macOS Client (64-bit). The Mac client installation files are contained in a Windows Installer file named ConfigmgrMacClient.msi.
Create the Mac client installation file
On a computer that runs Windows, run ConfigmgrMacClient.msi. This installer unpacks the Mac client installation file, named Macclient.dmg. By default, you can find this file in the following folder: C:Program FilesMicrosoftSystem Center Configuration Manager for Mac client.
Extract the client installation files
Copy Macclient.dmg to a Mac computer. Mount the Macclient.dmg file in macOS, and then copy the contents to a folder on the Mac computer.
Create a .cmmac file
- Open the Tools folder of the Mac client installation files. Use the CMAppUtil tool to create a .cmmac file from the client installation package. You'll use this file to create the Configuration Manager application.
- Copy the new CMClient.pkg.cmmac file to a network location that's available to the computer running the Configuration Manager console.For more information, see the Supplemental procedures to create and deploy applications for Mac computers.
Create and deploy the app
- In the Configuration Manager console, create an application from the CMClient.pkg.cmmac file.
- Deploy this application to Mac computers in your hierarchy.
Install the updated client
Mac Add Item To Dmg Download
The existing Configuration Manager client on Mac computers will prompt the user that an update is available to install. After users install the client, they must restart their Mac computer.
After the computer restarts, the Computer Enrollment wizard automatically runs to request a new user certificate.
Mac Os X Dmg File
If you don't use Configuration Manager enrollment, but install the client certificate independently from Configuration Manager, see Configure clients to use an existing certificate.
Configure clients to use an existing certificate
Use this procedure to prevent the Computer Enrollment Wizard from running, and to configure the upgraded client to use an existing client certificate.
- In the Configuration Manager console, create a configuration item of the type Mac OS X.
- Add a setting to this configuration item with the setting type Script.
- Add the following script to the setting:
Download Mac Os X Dmg
- Add the configuration item to a configuration baseline. Then deploy the configuration baseline to all Mac computers that install a certificate independently from Configuration Manager.
