I just installed Sophos Anti-Virus on the latest version of Mac OS High Sierra. Sophos requires that it's service is allowed to run in Preferences/Security & Privacy. I go to Preferences/Security & Privacy, I click on the lock to unlock it, and I click on the Allow button. No matter how many times I click the button, nothing happens. It is literally stuck.
The 'classic' Mac OS is the original Macintosh operating system that was introduced in 1984 alongside the first Macintosh and remained in primary use on Macs until the introduction of Mac OS X in 2001. Apple released the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984; its early system software was partially based on the Lisa OS and the Xerox PARC Alto computer, which former Apple CEO Steve Jobs. The main product is 'Mac OS X', the version number is, in the latest as of this writing, 10.4.10, and the name of the version is Tiger. That makes it Mac OS X Tiger, version 10.4.10. Also, 7.5.1 was the first version to say 'Mac OS' on startup, but the name of the OS wasn't officially changed until 7.6.
The Sophos service will not run without this, and I can't do anything about it. I tried uninstalling Sophos, but this thing is still in the Security & Privacy, it won't go away.
Any suggestions how to fix this are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Apple released macOS High Sierra to the public back in September, bringing notable changes such as Apple File System, Safari 11, and more. One change that's proved to be more of an annoyance, however, relates to the media keys. No longer do they control just media apps like iTunes and Spotify, but rather they control any sort of video and audio playback.
If you're like me, that's come as more of a bother than a real feature, but a new third-party tool aims to restore media keys to their previous glory…

Spotted by Stephen Hackett over at 512 Pixels, a free Mac app named High Sierra Media Key Enabler is incredibly useful if you too have been bothered by High Sierra's new attitude toward media keys.
Essentially, as you move around High Sierra, the media keys follow you. If you watch a video on YouTube, the media keys become associated with Safari. Even an autoplay video ad can trigger the switch, something that can be incredibly annoying if you leave iTunes running throughout the day for podcasts and music.
High Sierra Media Key Enabler, developed by Milan Toth, fixes these woes in an easy to use third-party app. The app literally has one purpose: locking the media keys to either iTunes or Spotify. This means that if you open a YouTube video or any other form of media, the keys will still control iTunes or Spotify. Once you've downloaded and opened the app, all the woes you were having with
They changed the behaviour of the media controller keys, they no longer control iTunes, they control the video playback in safari. This pissed off a lot of people including me, so I just created a menu bar app to proxy media key events to iTunes/Spotify while Apple fixes this. It doesn't support Touch Bar yet, only physical buttons.

One thing to note about this app is that it does place a small play symbol in your menu bar, but this can easily be removed with an app like Bartender, which hides unwanted icons from your menu bar.
High Sierra Media Key Enabler currently only works with physical media controls – not on the more recent Touch Bar controls.
This is certainly a simple app, and one that's need for existence is somewhat jarring, but it's a must have if you've become annoyed with how High Sierra handles media controls. Download it here.
