catalina [Résolu] Je n'arrive plus à ouvrir Tray importer

[Sydney Groves]

I tried to repair executive permission and it told me permission denied. I am the admin of the computer so it shouldnt be an access issue. This is exactly what terminal said:

sydney@Sydneys-MacBook-Pro ~ % chmod + x "/Applications/Sims4TrayImporter.app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter"

chmod: x: No such file or directory

sydney@Sydneys-MacBook-Pro ~ % "/Applications/Sims4TrayImporter.app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter"

zsh: permission denied: /Applications/Sims4TrayImporter.app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter

sydney@Sydneys-MacBook-Pro ~ % 

 

I tried entering both chmod + x "/Applications/Sims4TrayImporter.app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter" and "/Applications/Sims4TrayImporter.app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter" and neither worked.

@Sydney Groves What is the path of Sims4TrayImporter.app?

 

if the path is ~/Downloads/Sims4TrayImporter (1).app you must use:

chmod +x "~/Downloads/Sims4TrayImporter (1).app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter"

or

chmod +x "/Users/<yourname>/Downloads/Sims4TrayImporter (1).app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter"

[Sydney Groves]

It says the path is MacintoshHD/Applications

Because I am in Catalina the terminal is ZSH does that change anything? 

Thank you for the help by the way. This is very confusing and nothing is seeming to work.

[deevo]

And what is the name of the .app, is it still Sims4TrayImporter.app or has it been renamed something else like Sims4TrayImporter (1).app?

If it was renamed you must use the new name.

 

I don't know about ZSH, maybe try the default Terminal.app.

[Sydney Groves]

It is named 'sims4trayimporter.app'

I think i will just live with my broken cc instead of continuing to try and troubleshoot this. I think I need to upgrade from Mac in order to not have to deal with these dumb mac specific issues. 

[deevo]

Did you put a space between + and x? If so, remove it.

 

Try to open each folders before applying the permission:

cd Applications
cd Sims4TrayImporter.app
cd Contents
cd MacOS
chmod +x Sims4TrayImporter

 

Else it could just be that the Terminal.app or ZHS are not allowed to access all files.

Citation

Head to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy and click on the “Files and Folders” option to see any apps that have requested access.
You can also grant access to your whole disk by clicking “Full Disk Access.”

Did you use the default Archiver Utility to extract the .app from the .zip archive?

If not, deleted the extracted file, then right-click on the .zip archive and select Open > Archiver Utility to extract the .app.

That should fix the missing permission, then right-click the .app and select Open to open Tray Importer.

I had been trying for the longest time to get this program to work with the Catalina update, and I am so grateful for this thread! Thank you!

I've followed everything step by step and no luck. I've even changed my terminal shell from ZSH back to the original bash and still no luck. The problem is after I open Applications, when I go to open Sims4TrayImporter.app it says no such file or directory. I even have open the info on the app to make sure everything is correct. I have also went into privacy settings and gave Sims4TrayImporter and Terminal full disk access and the sharing/permissions on the "Get Info" specifically for Sims4TrayImporter also have read and write permissions. It is just not recognizing the application. I've also followed the path manually and noticed that the Sims4TrayImporter file inside the MacOS folder is just a TextEdit document. Is that supposed to be correct?

Have you placed S4TI in Applications?

If you cannot find S4TI from /Applications try from /Users/<yourname>/Applications

 

Else what is the path of S4TI?

Older versions used a script, but current version use a native launcher, so something is wrong here.

Hi. Ive tried following the steps in this thread but nothing is working.

 

When I put chmod +x “~/Downloads/Sims4TrayImporter.app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter" in the terminal window I get: dquote>

 

Help please!

[deevo]

Hello @sonicsoundclash, can you edit you post, seems like your message got cutted.

[MilaPrasch]

I have read each and every single post in this discussion, executed various commands in varying ways, including :

chmod +x /Applications/Sims4TrayImporter.app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter

& tried moving the app into applications under my user profile to then execute the following;

 

chmod + x / Users/ <mila> /Applications/Sims4TrayImporter.app/Contents/MacOS/Sims4TrayImporter

 

& tried to;

 

Force launch with diagnostics

Another way would be to launch the app via the Terminal :

1. Right-click on Sims4TrayImporter.app and select Show package contents .
2. Open the Contents folder then MacOS .
3. Right-click on Sims4TrayImport and select Open with> Other and select Applications / Utilities / Terminal.app 

 

and and still no luck.

First time trying to run S4TI, using on Mac Catalina [hate this update...] and Mono Visual Studio. 

Am i making some sort of mistake with spaces in the terminal app?  Running the wrong Mono?  Generally faffing about?

many thanks to all posting in this forum

Hi @MilaPrasch Do you get an error when running the chmod command?

[BlackPiano]

I've figured it out!!! I got it to work on my MacBook pro and I'm running Catalina 15.3. To get the app to run you must hold down COMMAND+double click the app. You will then get a popup where you give permission to open the app by clicking "Open". Open System Preferences the in the General tab click the "Open Anyway".

Hello,

 

So i have an issue, i used to have STI and while the icon was on my desktop i would click it and it would state the app is outdated so it wouldn't let me open it. So i log onto the site to download a newer version and when i click the file in my downloads folder it states " Safari can’t open the file “Sims4TrayImporter” because no available application can open it." so i go to my preferences and check my security & privacy to see if it gives me the option to open files from unidentified developers and it doesn't. 

 

Also, i tried to download Mono and when i open the app and install it states it installed but it doesn't show me that its really installed.

 

Can someone help I'm just trying to get my STI working again.
