Service initialization failed for Origin/MAC

@leeserrae

I really hope you enabled Gatekeeper again and the EA helper warned you that you were disabling a security feature? 🙂

There's no need to clear the cache if you've already used the reset tool, the reset tool clears the cache.

I successfully did the first two steps, but when I got to the third, there seems to no longer be the option of allowing "applications downloaded from anywhere" on a Mac with Sierra. Or, at least, mine is not showing that option. And I am assuming that was what was meant by disabling gatekeeper..? To change it to "from anywhere?"

And then as Bluebellflora said, is it not necessary to do the last step if I already reset origin?

However, after doing the only two steps I can then (the first two), I am still getting that same "service initialization failed" message as posted in this thread. Any other advice or tips??

Thanks so much!!
