That has not worked, spaces between the words made the terminal separate each thing and dragging the application made an invalid response.

For names with spaces you need to enclose the entire path in quotes as in the example. Normally the terminal will use spaces as delimiting characters, but the quotes override that so it will look for a second set of quotes to be the delimiter.

xattr -cr /file/pathway/Strive For Power.app        (error, 5 values)

xattr -cr "/file/pathway/Strive For Power.app"     (normal, 3 values)

A screenshot of the terminal, or error prompts, after your attempt would help diagnose your problems as the specifics are important for your input as well as the error message. You may edit out personal details, such as the username if you wish.

"xattr: no such file: /file/pathway/Strive For Power.app"

Makes sense, as that path probably doesn't exist on any computer; it's an example path because the Strive app can generally be run from anywhere on your computer. Let me try to break down the steps:

  1. Open terminal
  2. Into the terminal, type "xattr -cr " without the quotes but don't forget the space at the end.
  3. Open whatever program you use to view files in folders.
  4. Navigate to the Strive For Power.app.
  5. Drag and drop the app on top of the terminal.
    1. Alternatively, if that doesn't work for you, then find the path for the app in the address bar of your file viewer or the properties of the app file. Starting and ending with double quotes, type the path ending with the file name and extension into the terminal.
  6. Select the terminal and Enter the command.
