Canon EOS Rebel XSi Software update won't install in Snow Leopard

I tried to install an update to Canon's EOS Rebel XSi camera software using downloaded images from the Canon website. Image loads, but when I start the installer I receive the error message "Don't have enough privileges to install. Log in as administrator and try again." I am logged in as the administrator and have no issues loading other programs or program updates. I tried installing the same software from DVD with the same results. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm new to the discussion thing and didn't update the entire profile from my last visit. I'm using a Mac Pro and am more concerned about not being able to install/update software because the program doesn't think I have admin privileges. I found the privilege thread in this section so that's where I posted the question.
I know the Canon software works in Snow Leopard because it's running on my laptop.
I'll try the Picasa software option you suggest.

    Lightroom 5.2 will not import a Canon CR2 picture from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi

    I have this camera model and it has been supported by Adobe products for many years, already, including LR 5.2.
    If your XSi CR2 files won’t import into LR, then something may have corrupted the files, or the process you’re using isn’t quite right.
    As others have said, please give more details of the process you’re using, any error messages you receive, and if necessary, you can supply a CR2 file for others to examine, by uploading to http://www.dropbox.com and posting a public download link to a reply, here.

  • 5.3.1 in Software Update; Won't Install

    I'm updating a computer to the latest software. It has AirPort Utility 5.2.2. Software Update shows the 5.3.1 update, but it won't install. When I launch a downloaded 5.3.1 updater, it shows no qualifying volumes. It seems that the updater only works with a computer that already has AirPort Utility 5.3. It strikes me as bizarre that Software Update shows an update that can't be installed on the computer.
    By the way, the 5.3.1 update seems to be really an updater rather than a complete replacement for the application. It's only 1/4th the size of the application itself.

    Some corrections to my prior post:
    1) I tried again and was able to install AirPort 5.3.1 on that computer from the stand-alone updater. It's possible that earlier I was trying to install the Tiger version by mistake.
    2) Maybe 8.8MB IS enough for a complete installation of the AirPort Utility...
    The issue still stands of why Software Update presented an update that it wasn't able to install.

  • Software updates won't install.  HELP.

    My software updates (e.g., Adobe Flash, Amazon MP3 Downloader) download but won't install.  The installation just stalls at the beginning.  What is the problem, and how can I fix it?

    Exactly which iMac do you have, and what version of OS X?

  • Software update won't install.

    I downloaded today's software update,which included updates to system software and I think security, but it won't. complete the installation and now I can't use my MacBook at all. The little wheel just keeps spinning around and around. I restarted a couple of times, but it's no better. Anyone else have this problem?

    Unfortunately neither Safe Boot nor resetting NVRAM/PRAM did the trick. I ended up with the grey screen and spinning gear again.  I actually have to go away for a week --this will be a good excuse for not doing any work while I'm gone ;-) -- and I may be taking a trip to the Apple store soon after I get back.
    Thanks for trying.

  • New Software updater won't install....old won't un...

    Hi,
    I have a laptop running Vista Home Premium SP1. I have the latest version of Nokia PC Suite and the previous version of software updater 1.4.53en. I have a Nokia 6300 running 6.60. I noticed that a new version of the firmware has been released 7.00 and tried to install this.
    When I launched the updater the system confirms that a newer version of the updating software is available. It downloads this but then on installation an error confirming "The version of Nokia Software Updater already installed on this computer is newer than the one you are trying to install. Installation will not continue." I then tried manually downloading the update file from Nokia site and the error message issued was the same. I then tried to uninstall the existing update software and this is prevented with a message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
    I found the previous installer file for 1.4.53en but I get the same message confirming that a newer version is already installed.
    Can anyone help? How can I upgrade or remove this software?

  • Software Updates won't install when the macbook restarts

    When I run the Software Update, it tells me the macbook must restart to install the updates, but it gets to the 'configuring installation' bit and then freezes. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hi Elizabeth,
    When your mac was downloading the updates (via software update) the package was corrupted. You need to download the specific package manually from:
    www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    If you post the specific update I will be able to point you to a download link (if you can't find it yourself).
    If that fails then it's most likely a faulty Hard Drive, and you will need to take it into a repair centre for further testing.

  • Software updates won't install

    After downloading software updates, I can't get them to install. Any suggestions?

    Exactly what happens when you try to install the updates?  Are you getting any errors?  If so, what do they say?
    What updates are you trying to install? 
    How large is your HD AND how much space do you have left?  
    Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.  For example, have you repaired permissions and/or restarted your computer?

  • Software Update ignores Scheduled Check under Snow Leopard

    I've tried asking our local Apple Genius Bar about this, but they weren't able to help me.  Here's the problem:
    I've upgraded to Snow Leopard on my late 2006 Mac Pro last year and changed my daily user account from Administrator to User.  I run the Stanford Folding@Home on this Mac 24x7, so it is always on and awake.  I noticed that I stopped getting notified that Software Updates were available.  I regularly check the Internet Storm Center and they announce OS X updates as well as the Microsoft updates.  When I run Software Update, I am challenged for my Administrator account and password (as I would expect) after which the program checks for updates and identifies the updates that are available.
    My question to the Genius was why do I have to run this manually when I have set the Software Update preferences to Check for updates Weekly and Download updates automatically is checked?  I have checked this setting from both my user account as well as my Administrator account and they both show the same settings.
    Since then, I've added a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard and I set it up with an Administrative Supervisor account and User accounts for all of the family.  The Mac Mini never notifies us of updates, either.  Plus, I supply tech support for my in-laws' Macs and they all exhibit the same behavior.  This has been around since OS X 10.6.3 (the first version I installed) and every update since.  So, obviously, I know how to configure a Mac to break Software Update, but how do I "fix" them to let everyone know that it's time to update the Macs?
    Thanks for any help you can lend me.

    The software update can be run within a Standard users account it they have an administrators user name and password.  I am thinking that if you set a schedule for an standard user and the account is logged on then software update will not attempt because that use don't have the privileges to change system information.  The Software Update schedule is saved separately for each user of a Mac.  Try leaving the administrators account log in and see if it works.  Note: Thus another user's account may automatically download updates even when your account has them disabled.

  • Software Update: Itunes 10.4.1 & Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    Hello,
    I have looked at the latest software update and it includes Security Update 2011-005 and the latest Itunes 10.4.1. I would like to update my security, however I'm concerned about the Itunes update. Is it safe and compatible with my version of Snow Leopard or am I at a higher risk of losing my library? I know that there have been issues with some updates pertaining Lion compatibly (such as some games) and I wanted to make absolutely sure before I updated.
    Sincerely,
    Sarah

    It is fine.
    However, as a normal precaution, make sure you have a full backup of your hard drive.

  • Itunes 9 won't install on Snow Leopard.

    Itunes 9 won't install on my Snow Leopard. It wont even try. The install screen freezes on "Choose Disk to install" screen and the eternal beachball attacks. I've tried 4 times now, with no success
    Current Itunes: 8.2.1 (6)

    I'm having similar issues. iTunes 9 hung during the install. When it launched, it hung on converting the library, but eventually did it. Took well over a half hour. Then it automatically tried to do a Genius update.
    Well, that also hung iTunes and almost an hour.
    I then plugged in my wife's 32 GB Touch. Again hung iTunes. Force Quit and re-launch, and it detects the iPod and prompts to update to 3.1.1. Halfway through the update I get a spinning beach ball.
    After that is done and I finally sync the **** touch, I update my Podcasts. Spinning beach ball and 15 minutes later, no updates.
    Then I turned SoundCheck on. Instant beach ball. It's been an hour and half and it hasn't even done 25% of my library yet. It moves along slowly, but there's a spinning beach ball throughout the whole process so far.
    I've rebooted between each spinning beach ball and force quit more times than I can count.

  • PSE 8 for Mac won't Install; running Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    Hi,
    When PSE 8 was released for the Mac, I bought a copy from Amazon.  I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on two 24" iMacs and one MBP 15.3.  The Adobe installer would hang about three quarters through the installation.  I'm running PSE 6 for Mac without a problem.  I returned the software to Amazon without a problem.
    A month or two later I downloaded a trial version from Adobe's web site thinking perhaps the DVD I had gotten from Amazon was possibly defective.  Nope.  Same problem trying the trial version.  It just hung about three quarters through the install on all three machines.
    I'm running Photoshop Extended CS 3 with Snow Leopard and have no problems.
    What gives?
    Thanks,
    Linnie K

    Hi,
    I wouldn't know.  The first copy I bought from Amazon and returned.  The second one was downloaded from your web site as a trial and I removed all the bits and pieces after killing an hour with the installer.  I didn't think I could download the trial version a second time.
    I'm using a Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.2.  My Photoshop Extended CSS3 and PSE 6 work just fine.  I'm afraid that if I deleted all you had suggested, I would have trouble reinstalling the two apps I just mentioned.  From what I've read on various forums,, Mac users (not all) are still having difficulty installing PSE 8.
    BTW, this is the only app I've had any problem installing on my system.  I deliberately waited for v. 10.6.2 to install the newer OS as there were earlier incompatibilities.
    Thanks,
    Linnie

  • Iphoto won't install on snow leopard

    Have an iMac that was running Tiger that required a complete hard drive reformat. Upgraded to Snow Leopard and went to the App Store to purchase iLife (or iPhoto at the very least) and the minimum requirements are 10.7.4 ... I do not want to update past Snow Leopard. Any suggestions? Doesn't Apple have a previous version to purchase for 10.6.8??

    Not on the App Store anymore.
    You'll need to find an iLife 11 install disk. Try amazon or ebay.
    Regards

  • Help!  FCS2 Won't install on Snow Leopard?

    I installed Snow Leopard. Installation Goes fine until the very end. You stick in the last disc and it comes up and says installation failed. I really need this to work. Do I really have to downgrade to Leopard so My FCS2 will work.
    Thanks for any help.
    It's academic if that helps any.
