Enable Accessibility on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard Open System Preferences Universal Access Check the box next to 'Enable access for assistive devices'. So Mac OS 10.9 will prompt a dialog for end user permission to enable Accessibility when application uses accessibility APIs. Additionally User has to Relaunch the application after enabling Accessibility. Can we enable access for assistive devices programmatically on 10.9 using Applescript or any other APIs? The feature called 'Enable access for assistive devices' is found in the Universal Access preference pane. It needs to be enabled in order for any GUI AppleScripts to run. I was trying to enable it from the Terminal, to insure that it was always enabled when needed. I struggled with this for a long time, and then finally found a simple solution. If you’re unfamiliar with an app or you don’t want to give it access to your Mac at that time, click Deny in the alert. Be cautious and grant access only to apps that you know and trust. If you give apps access to your Mac, you also give them access to your contact, calendar, and other information, and are subject to their terms and privacy.
