Upgrading software

I am trying to upgrade FCP which requires an update of Quicktime. Every time I try to upgrade Quicktime through Software Update I get an error message stating that I don't have sufficient permission.
I am the only user and my account has administrative privileges.
How do I fix this?

Thanks,
I'm relatively new to the Mac and keep forgetting about repairing permissions. I will give that a try.
I did also post this question in the FCP forum and got the same suggestion.

  • Ipod touch 1st generation w/ upgraded software

    I have an ipod touch 1st generation w/ upgraded software.  I bought the game Angry birds to play, but when I click on the icon, it turns black as though the game is going to load, but it doesn't instead it goes back to original screen.  Any suggestions???

    - Try resetting the iPOd.  Nothing will be lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try deleting the app and redownloading/installing the app.

  • After upgrading software microphone doesn't work

    After upgrading software microphone doesn't work

    Dimitrios44-
    Have you tried using the microphone with more than one App?  One I use is Skype, which is a free App.  Once your are registered with Skype, you can use their test server to record and playback several seconds of your audio.
    It may just be coincidence that your microphone stopped working after the upgrade.  If you show it to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a new iPad.  If that is not convenient, search for an Authorized Apple Repair Center near you.  There may be one in your city.
    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

    It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
    I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
    http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
    Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

  • X200 Vista to Windows 7 Clean vs. Upgrade - Software License Concern

    I bought an X200 with Vista (before the free upgrade) and have now purchased the Windows 7 upgrade software.  Most of the tech forums recommend a clean install instead of an upgrade.  Should I worry whether the software I have purchased (e.g. MS Office, Acrobat 9, etc.) will require me to purchase another license?  Or, will it "recognize" my PC if I copy down the product keys?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi
    Most software still do not have activation so there it is a question of having the serial number and the matching installer/CD saved.
    With Adobe software that uses activation you can deactivate the software before the upgrade and then reactivate again after.
    I do not know how sensitive MS Office is. My experience from one system which I helped recover was that Office activated automatically on the same machine again. I guess even if you would be required to activate over the phone there should be no issues as you are reinstalling on the same machine.

    I have no idea why this has happend ive been using the phone for 2years bought it on pay as you go and now all of a sudden its stating the above error i have never come across this problem before and currently im using 3GS and Iphone 4S

    Sounds like it's been blacklisted.
    Even if it hasn't, downgrading voids any warranty and forfeits all rights to support. You hacked your phone. You can't get help here.

  • TS1702 I upgraded software from Snow Leopard to OSX Lion. Now my Office Mac applications would not work

    Quite seriously, though, if you wish to use MS Office to it's full potential and if you depend on it on a regular basis, then upgrading to Office 2011 is the only reccommended way to go. You can use the free Apps mentioned, learn to use iWorks (which I love, but others don't) or make your system a shambles and lose your easy to use interface by the other method. Deduct the cost of Parallels from MS Office and it becomes pretty cheap, if that is the only PPC program you wish to use, which is the norm as PPC is long gone from development.
    MS Office 2011 is not expensive if it is one of your major work tools. Think of those who had to update their Adobe software!
    Anyhow Cheers

  • Upgrade software... location and backup?

    I purchased the new apps from iTunes last night, and upgraded my iTunes/QuickTime to the latest versions. Is the iPod upgrade software part of the iTunes library of that machine? And, if so, can it be backed up somehow in case I have a system (or iPod) problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    I installed the 1.1.3 update (which was very small and free of charge), but surely that little 12k file doesn't contain all the new apps...?
    The purchased software download said ("153MB" or close to that) as it was trying to download. It failed with network timeouts every time I tried it last night... that's the one I'm wanting to back up (once I get it to download, that is...)
    I thought perhaps I could try downloading it from here at work, where my net connection is more reliable, but I'm guessing I have to do it from the machine that's associated with my iTunes account.

  • Upgrade software for torch 9800

    I have BB Torch 9800. I m living india and carrier is Airtel. Can anybody help me to how to upgrade software.

    Hello,
    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
    3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    4) If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    5) Launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC. If, during the process, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    Don't forget to backup.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • Upgrade software to 6.1.1, but cannot activating the phone again

    upgrade software to 6.1.1, but cannot activating the phone again
    Bought my 4s in Canada, been used for two years, then updated to 6.1.1 then cannot activating the phone from wifi or iTunes,
    I store in south Africa says that my 4s been locked by Canada, need to unlock it 1st,
    Any suggestion

    You've got a problem with no easy solution. It appears your phone was hacked to unlock it so you could use it where you live. Updating software on a hacked iPhone will re-lock the phone to the carrier it was originally locked to...that's what happened to you.
    Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking...in your case, a carrier in Canada. However, none of the carriers in Canada will authorize the unlocking of your phone unless you are a current/former customer who used the phone on their network.
    Thus, there doesn't appear to be any way for you to get this phone officially unlocked, unless you want to fly to Canada & first establish service.
