If this external drive isn’t showing up on Mac system, some deeper issues might need to be fixed. Why you must fix it immediately: Data on your Mac is stored on a hard drive, whether it’s internal or external. What you might not know: There can be many reasons for an external hard drive not reading a Mac - poor connection, faulty cable, dirty USB, or, in the worst-case scenario, corrupt hard drive data. But sometimes you meet the "external hard drive not showing us" issue. (Although you may want to sign some/all of the files inside the image to comply with gatekeeper's restrictions.What you know: When you plug in an external drive disk utility into your Mac, you expect it to pop up and be showing up on mac in Locations in Finder - next to your remote disk and the computer itself. Your customer can remove the quarantine after downloading the image, but this should not be necessary. If there were a way to avoid this, the bad guys would be using it on their malware to evade the quarantine security checks - and Apple would consider this a bug, and fix it. Can you checksum the image before and after uploading & downloading it to see if it's been changed somewhere along the path? Also, using Disk Utility to verify the volume would be useful.Īs far as quarantine is concerned: the quarantine attribute is added when the image (or any other file) is downloaded there is nothing you can do to prevent this. That error message indicates that the filesystem in the disk image is corrupt, probably because the image was damaged during uploading/downloading (see this previous SU question). I don't think this is related to the extended attributes or quarantine at all. I would install Wireshark even if it was not signed ( xattr -r -d "" to the rescue). For example, I have more trust for the Wireshark folks than anything Apple has to say about an unknown developer. However, I trust some developers more than Apple's assertion. Where it comes from (App Store vs Internet) does not matter to me. There's no difference between the two in my opinion - in both cases, I rely upon Apple to check the developer and binary. I settle on the App Store and Identified Developers. The best you can do is distribute through the App Store (in Apple's opinion).

The other DMGs are probably distributed through the App Store or signed it with an Apple developer account. I don't want quarantine attribute to be added to it.so what should i do to my dmg before uploading it to internet such that quarantine attribute will not be set.ĭistribute it through the App Store or sign it with your Apple developer account.Īnd also why this pop is not coming for other dmg's downloaded from net.
