I have a screen capture of the error but cannot include it here. This was very helpful! Thank you very very much! I was on the phone with Apple Technical service for more than 3-hours. Anybody experienced this as well? Thanks so much. This helped me. I tried this but it asked for an admin password with a key icon. Where do I find the admin password? Hi, guys! I tries every step described above but is not working.

I have the admin password but I cant do anything with it. I bought the allow apps downloaded from anywhere a week ago from a guy who gave me all the data he thought I might need.
