i found something that worked, at least for me. go to finder, then applications, find the application you are trying to open, and then right click it. in the options that come up, click "new terminal at folder". once the terminal is open, copy and paste " chmod -R 777 . " (with the dot!) then click enter. now try to open the application again. it should give you an error saying that the app is not trusted or something like that, but you can override this by just going to finder, applications, then right clicking the app and clicking open. this will manually let you open the app. hope this helps or wasn't too confusing, i'm not very good with the script stuff :)
