September 2012 MAC issue: New Mac computers come with a default setting that does not allow applications downloaded from "anywhere"
(which prevents download of the ECF applet). To resolve the issue please see the details.
ATTENTION MAC USERS - Mac users with OS X 9 (Mavericks), who are accessing CM/ECF with the Safari 7 browser, will need to modify the browser security settings in order to attach documents for filing. Please do the following:
Log into CM/ECF.
Click the Safari menu and select Preferences.
Click the Security tab.
Click Manage Website Settings.
Locate the court server (ecf.ca3.uscourts.gov) under Currently Open Websites and modify to Run in Unsafe Mode.
For those concerned with working in an unsafe mode, please use the Mozilla Firefox browser, which does not require the setting change.
