After working correctly before Firefox now says that I don't have the propper permission to have the automatic upgrade process. New iMac and MacBook Pro both afected. Using Snow Leopard

After working correctly since I started using the iMac Firefox now say that I do not have the privileges to have it auto update the Firefox. I don't think I changed anything.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Since last update

Well, running on a 2006 model.  I did not have a startup disc.  Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006.  Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set.  And, since then I think I popped it up to lion. 
All I have on a disc is snow leopard.  And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive.  I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now.  We'll see what they tell me .  I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff.  So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc.  we'll see if they can recover.  If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system.  Just not sure at this point.

  • When I try and install firefox it says that I do not have the correct privaliges- MAcBook Pro.

    When I try to update Firefox, it says that I do not have the correct privileges.

    You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.
    You can also do this:
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • HT4743 I just purchased an iTunes TV show and it successfully downloaded. It is now saying that I do not have the proper version of QuickTime on this version of iTunes (10.6.3). How can a show I purchased be incompatible with the latest version of iTunes?

    I just purchased an iTunes TV show and it successfully downloaded. It is now saying that I do not have the proper version of QuickTime on this version of iTunes (10.6.3).
    How can a show I purchased be incompatible with the latest version of iTunes?
    I want a refund, but I can't even figure out how to request one through support. Super frustrated and long time Apple customer.

    After a day of trying, both iTunes and my Apple TV are telling me that the episodes of Scooby Doo I purchased are incompatible due to QuickTime. I still don't understand how I purchased something from iTunes that doesn't work with iTunes.
    the exact error I receive when I try to play an episode is the following:
    "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
    Any advice would be great!

    I try to open Acrobat I get a message that I need to register the product. I click on register and after about a minute, I'm told that I don't have an internet connection. My internet connection is working fine. In fact I registered Acrobat Pro XI using my account, but the program itself will not recognize it or allow me to use the software. What do I do?

    If you already registered, then there is no point to trying to do so again. Simply dismiss the dialog.

  • I have the 64bit version of itunes. When I connect my iphone5 it says that I don't have the correct software and that I need to install itunes 64bit! And I can go no further! Help!

    I have the 64bit version of itunes on windows 7. When I connect my iphone5 it says that I don't have the correct software and that I need to install itunes 64bit! And I can go no further! I've uninstalled and reinstalled but it makes no difference. I have no access to other computers so at the moment I don't have a backup for my iphone should anything go wrong.
    Please Help!

    Hello ekbowers,
    It sounds like you have installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, but you continue to the get an error message that suggests to download the 64 bit version any time you connect your iPhone 5.  I understand that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but sometimes you may need to uninstall additional components related to iTunes to completely remove it from your system. 
    I recommend following the steps in this article to completely uninstall iTunes:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Once you have completely uninstalled iTunes, you can download the 65 bit version of iTunes for Windows here:
    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

  • IPhoto not working after trying to share iPhoto between iMac and MacBook Pro

    I tried to share my photos on both my iMac and MacBook pro. It deleted all my photos in my MacBook and now it won't let me even open iPhoto in my iMac and gives me the following message "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    How do I rectify this? Purchase iPhoto from the App store?

    What version of iPhoto do you have on each system?
    It sound like you propbably have a newer version of iPhoto on the MBP - and thay you opened the iMac iPhoto library using the newer iPhoto - if you did you were warned that doing this would convert the library and that the older version of iPhoto could no longer open the library - the error message you list says that this is what you did
    If you did the only options are to restore your iMac backup from before you converted the library, upgrade iPhoto on the iMac the same version you have on your MBP purchasing from the App store or use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to downgrade your library

  • A Web site available via IE says that I don't have 'proper authorization' when I try to sign in.

    A Web site that I used to go to via Firefox I must now access using Internet Explorer. I can get to the site's home page, but when I try to sign in it says that I don't have 'proper authorization'. I contacted the site and their rep say that I must make it a trusted site in Firefox, but I can find no option to do that.
    Can you tell me how to solve the problem? I would much rather use Firefox.
    Thank you.

  • When I download photos to my I-Mac and then try to open them,  It says that I don't have permission to view them. I have been using the computer for several months without this problem, but it has appeared within the last two weeks.

    When I try to open my downloaded photos from a DVD through finder the computer says that I don't have permission to view the files.
    This is something that has just happened recently.

    Copy the images to your Pictures folder or Desktop and then try again.
    If that doens't work, then do #6 here, (Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs)
    that will set the permissions to you.

    I have deleted apps to get storage but can't get shows on iTunes! It says that I don't have enough storage but I have over 1GB

    You should have at least 10% of your total storage.
    1 GB is not enough, you need to delete more

  • HT201364 I am trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks but when I click on download it does nothing.  I can't load most apps because it says that I don't have the latest version.  Help! what can I do?

    I am trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks but when I click on download, nothing happens.  It shows as purchased but nothing is happening.  I have the MacBook Pro Late 2011 model.  I am unable to load any new apps because it says that I don't have the latest OS version.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I would appreciate it! Thanks

    I installed 'Mavericks' on my Macbook Pro and am sorry I did !
    It wiped my Mac's hard drive totally clean!
    A technician here was able to reload the original OS but all my pictures, files and contacts were
    sent God knows where !
    I should have done a back up, so I learned my lesson the hard way !
    What really annoyed me was that this is an Apple program, so I wrongly assumed it would be a safe download.
    Wrong !
    He told me that others in our small town had experienced the same problem, and since we live in a small community of about 6000, I wonder how many others have had this problem in more populated centers ?
    Everything is thankfully up and running again ( at great expense in time and money )  but I will exercise more jurisprudence in future offers for any upgrades!
