[Solved] OpenOffice Will No Longer Open After Update «Q05»

Post by porcelaingirl »

I was just informed of an update (the latest one) to the OpenOffice, but once I downloaded Apache OpenOffice 4.1.7 and put it into my App folder, it now won't open at all and I get the following error message: "OpenOffice" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers.

I've never run into this problem before with OpenOffice; any suggestions?

Thanks,
Catie

This is due to the Gatekeeper application that Apple is supplying with your computer.
