When installing full programs or patches for CheckMark on 64-bit Mac computers, there are error messages you can encounter. Here we will detail how to work around each one.
“[Program File] can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
– Click the Apple symbol up in the top left corner of your screen and select “System Preferences”
– Click on “Security & Privacy”
– Under the “General” tab, there will be a message at the bottom of the window reading “[Program File] was blocked from opening because it is not from an identified developer”
– Click “Open Anyway” and the installer should open as normal and you can proceed through the direction
[Program File] can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.”
– For this process, we will be working with the .pkg file, NOT the .zip
– Locate the .pkg installer file wherever you downloaded it to, and drag it onto your Desktop if it is not there already
– If your mouse has the ability, right-click on the package file. If you cannot right click, hold the “Control” key, and left click on the icon.
– A drop-down menu will appear. Hover over “Open With” and select “Installer (Default).
– This time the same error message will show again, however, there will now be an “Open” button.
– Click Open, and proceed with your installation as normal!
“Unable to expand”, “Unsupported File Format”, “Unable to install the patch installer”
– This error message can come in a couple of different forms, but each one revolves around the .zip file not being able to be opened/expanded
– Open your internet browser, and navigate to checkmark.com
– Click on the “Products” tab, and “CheckMark Payroll”
– Scroll down just a little until you see the new menu, and click on the tab “More” and then click on “Downloads”
– Scroll down again till you see the “Payroll 2024 Downloads” box and select the appropriate version
– Download the installer and proceed with the installation as normal!
