UNIVERSAL ACCESS ON MAC

[-Fluffy-]

HELP ME! I have a Mac and I enjoy plaing TF2 however, with the new updates I have had a problem of universal access. However, as I scrolled down other people's problem which was similar and their solution, it didn't quite fit for me. In my Mac, in system prefences, there is no universal access button nor the button for allowing access for assistive devices which many people said that it will help. As I have no buttons to press which helps me, I am in a problem. I can't trade with people who are strangers nor buy things in the shop and many more disadvantage. If anybody is facing the same problem or know a solution, PLEASE HELP ME!

1) Make sure Steam is not running and uncheck it from the accessibility preference pane.
2) Close system preferences.
3) Open Terminal and copy/paste the following exactly as you see it, including all quotes:

sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/Tcc.db 'delete from access where client like "%Steam%"'

4) Re-open the accessibility preference pane and make sure that Steam is not listed.
5) Close system preferences, launch Steam, and try to play a game. The warning dialog box about the Steam overlay will pop up again. Use it to go back into system preferences and Steam should have re-appeared. Check the box if it's not already, close system preferences, and you should be good to go.

Happy to know you're at least trying instead of being one of those guys that go "I know the problem! You're using a Mac!" Thank you so much!

Works for me.

Do I have to press enter after copy/pasting the command in terminal?
It asks me to enter my password.

Should I also just uncheck steam from accessibility or remove it altogether?
