GIMP on OS X: 2.8.2 very slow to launch on OS X 10.6.

Seems there are lots to learn on Mac way. Moving from OpenSuSE to Yosemite is not that easy to me. Sometimes, they just stuck on verifying without any warning dialog. But even choose to ignore warning, I still cannot launch them. These applications can’t be opened because they are from an unidentified developer. If you find your mac can upgrade to the newer OS's like macOS Mojave 10.14, macOS Catalina 10.15, macOs Big Sur 11.6 or the latest macOS Monterey 12.0 I would recommend you upgrade to. On macOS Sierra, right click on the installer and choose →. Click on the top left of your screen click on About This Mac to find out the year of your mac. I think it is related to the Verifying process in Yosemite which stops opening GIMP and LibreOffice. Fix the “App can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer” Error in Mac OS X on OSX Daily provides a step-by-step instruction.Īfter launching successfully, you may switch back to “Mac App Store and identified developers” to keep you safe.

Turn Off Gatekeeper for First-Time LaunchĪfter reinstall them several times, it seems you have to Allow applications downloaded from “Anywhere” in Security & Privacy for first-time launch.

It does help to speed up GIMP but LibreOffice.

I follow suggestions on 2.8.2 very slow to launch on OS X 10.6.8 on GIMP on OS X suggest to turn off network. GIMP is very slow to open while LibreOffice stuck on verifying forever. After successfully install GIMP and LibreOffice on my new Mac Mini Late 2012 running Yosemite, I have problems to launch them.
