[Q] UnKnown Media in Titanium Backup - Android Apps and Games

I have a AT&T Captivate with FROYO 2.2. I just rooted it and installed Titanium Backup. When I run Titanium, it performs the backup; however, I get this message.
"Warning - System Configuration"
"Your system settings will prevent you from restoring applications. To correct this, go to your phone's Settings, then in "Applications" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox."
Problem is, there is no "Unknown Sources" checkbox. What do I need to do?
thanks

sprite backup problem

Recently I upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5, the merge mode from 1-3 give the same result, everytime I tried to open settings,the msg "settings could not be opened" pop out, so I tried to restore the backup manually, I noticed, every time I check 1 of the options in "system setting" section, whichever it may be, the restored result, always have problem in opening settings option, if I didn't check any of the options in "system setting" section, the restored resull always opened successfully
The problem is, all of my applications' registrations info is in "system setting" section, and I'm too lazy to input all of the registration info one by one, if I were to uncheck all the option in "system setting" section during restore process
Is there any solution for this ?
Thanks

Titanium Back up

To correct this, go to your phones settings, then in applications and tick the unknown sources checkbox...but there is no checkbox...i just want to back up my apps and restore my phone...please help.

Titanium Backup won't restore apps, just data.

I've done this many times but after the latest reformat when I select an app to restore, Titanium Backup 7.5.0 (Pro/Donate version) only gives a "data only" option. It seems to have lost the apps themselves.
And if I reinstall the app from the store and then restore the data from TB, the app will usually crash.
Additionally, some of the apps aren't even found until I install them from the play store. After that, I have the "data only" option for them again.
LG G3 D852 on Marshmallow.
set SELinux to permissive before trying to restore TiBackup
Thanks JumboMan, but no joy. Set SELinux to permissive and the behaviour didn't change.

Titanium Backup Pro 7.5.0.3 - Restore all apps with data shows 0

I've just upgraded my Nexus 4 from cm-13.0-20160429-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2YJ-mako to cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J5-mako. First I backed up my apps and data with Titanium Backup Pro, using gzip and filtering on 'User' apps.
After wiping, re-installing Gapps, Google sync'ed my apps back to the device (mostly without data) which I hadn't seen before. I re-enabled the Developers option, re-installed SuperSU from zip, set Security to enable Unknown Sources, and went to Titanium Pro to restore my data. I restored the old ID; In Titanium the same filter shows all my backups are there on the device, with data - I can see each one - but the option to reinstall isn't available.
The batch 'Restore all apps with data' shows 0 of 153 backed-up apps.
Btw restoring xml sms and call logs, which are also present, failed with the messages 'Data restore failed for...' but I fixed this by switching from 'Normal Android Way' to 'File Way'
Have I missed something? Can anyone suggest how to get this working?
Although the backups are showing in the filter, I got Titanium to search and change the Backup Folder location from /storage/sdcard/TitaniumBackup to /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup without 'moving' the files, and reloaded applications:
1 Menu - Preferences... - Backup settings - * Backup folder location - DETECT! - select location - tap on 'USE THE CURRENT FOLDER'
2 Menu - SPECIAL FEATURES - Reload application
but it didn't help.
Finally figured it out...
Backup/Restore tab; Click to edit filters - Status: Backed up and Type: User are checked - correctly lists all my backed-up apps and data.
However the Filter by platform tab shows ROM Android version: 5.0.2 is checked, 6.0.1 is unchecked. Which is odd as none of the backups are 5.0.2 and I haven't used 5.0.2 for a long time.
Checking the 6.0.1 checkbox doesn't affect the list of backups, but when I go to Restore, they are listed.
And having unchecked 5.0.2, it now disappears from the Filter by platform section
Other incorrect and outdated information regarding the Rom build, and OS still remains, and I can't update it, but as it's not checked it doesn't matter.
Just another Titanium 'gotcha' Perhaps one for the TiBu devs.

Restore App Data SELECTIVELY?

The native Android Backup & Restore in settings has an option to "Automatically restore app settings" on install. But what if I only want to restore app settings for some apps and not others? This is on Marshmellow - non-rooted.
