Settings

[Olle Mårtensson <ol...@bredband.net>]

I am trying to download Open Office to my iMac.
I get a message that my settings prevent the download.
What kind of settings could this mean, and how do I change them?

Best regards

when you don't know which settings are meant (because there is no 
detailed message on the screen), then of course we don't them either. ;-)

Let's start from the beginning:
- download only from "http://www.openoffice.org/download/"
- choose the favorite download options
- click on the green button

When you still get problems:
- try at a different time, maybe there is a temporary problem at the
   mirror(s)
- enable cookies (normally not needed but maybe it's helping)
- make sure JavaScript is enabled
- if possible, try with another browser

If all doesn't help you can use a direct link but you have to browse a 
bit on your own to come to the wished download file:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.1.2/binaries/

Since you didn't state the exact message you got I am guessing that Gatekeeper is the problem. 
See the following links.
