Administrator privileges problem

I am new to CC. I am trying to install Application Manager but it says I lack Administrator Privileges even though I am logging in as an Administrator.

Are you on a Windows machine or Mac. Looks like permission issue . Could you please repair the disk permissions and then try again.

Administrative privileges problem while installing an app

Hi,
I'm using late 2012 iMac with OS X Mavericks. (Upgrade from all beta versions of Mavericks)
Sometimes (not allways) administrator privileges window not pops-up when installing an app. When I click install button, nothing happend.
After logoff or restart computer and then retry to installation, administrator privileges window pops-up and installation starts after writing user password.
verify and repair disk permission doesn't help.
Any advice?
Thanks

Hi,
I haven't come across such an issue before but I would like to help. This could be probably because, the downloaded file may be corrupted due to come reasons. I would recomend you to give a try after downloading it once again. Please let me know your thoughts on the same.

I tried to download iTunes 11.1.4 and was told I need administrator privileges to do so. I have never had a problem before. What's going on?

Last week I attempted to update the iTunes on my computer to 11.1.4 but the process errored out. So I uninstalled iTunes and attempted to download the software from the website. The process stopped and told me I need administrator privileges to install the product. I have never had this problem before. What is the problem?

Uninstalled Firefox 6 because it was crashing every few minutes, now cannot install because no administrator privileges. never had this problem before, how am going to install anything?

lasst couple of days Firefox would crash for unknown reasons. this problem did not occur until I instatlled firefox 6. Last night it crashed several times over a 15 minute time span. I uninstalled firefox and then tried to reinstall. pop up window required I have administration privileges in order to install. Never required this before. I have windows 7 and have no desire to have to completely reinstall software becasue firefox 6 was so unstable.

I read a way on another forum to fix this problem. Right click on the setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" this should solve your problem.

ITunes 7 Privilege Problems with Non-Administrator Account

Hello,
I've installed iTunes 7 on WinXP using my account, which is in the Administrators group. However, when I attempt to launch it under another account (which is in the Power Users group, but is not an administrator), a window is displayed with the following message:
"Please wait while Windows configures iTunes".
This occurs every time I launch iTunes. Afterwards, I sometimes receive a message indicating this account doesn't have privileges necessary to start a service and the configuration step is undone. Other times, I receive the following:
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I really don't want to give this account Administrator privileges. What are my options?
Thanks.

Here are a couple of things to try:
1. Create a group called IpodUsers
2. Add restricted users you want to access itunes
3. goto: START>MY COMPUTER navigate to Program Files
4. Find the iTunes, Quicktime, and Apple Update folder.
5. Right click on on the folder and select Properties goto the Security Tab
6. Click add, Add in IpodUsers, in the lower pane place check mark in Full Control box. Repeat for the other 2 folders
That should allow your users to access the program

During the installation of Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on Windows Vista, I received an error message saying that I need administrative privileges to install. Are administrative privileges necessary to install Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on Windows Vista?

The happens when I attemp to install Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on a classified network. Initially when I try to install Firefox 4.0, a screen comes up saying that I need administrative privileges to install. Then when I cancel my logon username/password administrative screen, the installation process lets me continue and I can install the Firefox 4.0 software. I would like to know if Firefox 4.0 might encounter problems later on a classified network if Im able to install the software initially.

hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

Access Denied when trying to access shared folders on the server with administrative privileges

I have problem accessing shared folder on the server machine from Windows 7 machine even if I try to access it with administrative privileges (server Administrator account). I will try now to explain better my situation.
In my company, we have small network infrastructure with one main server machine (HP ProLiant server) with Windows Server 2012 R2 installed and couple of desktop machines. The network is administrated by me.
On Windows Server we have installed and setup DHCP, DNS, Remote Access and Routing, File and Storage and Active Directory services. Desktop machines are having Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 Home Premium installed on them. In Active
Directory I have created domain, User groups and Users for employees in my company and so far, I didn't added desktop machines to the domain.
Also, I've created one folder on the server which should contain different projects data for network users and I have set access permissions and security for this folder and shared it on the network (I've added couple of users to one user group and I
gave Full control to this group over this folder). When I try to access this folder from network, I've been asked for login credentials (normally), where I just type in one of users username and password who has been given access permissions to (who is member
of group with full control over the folder). From Windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 8.1 machines I can access and work on this folder without any problems.
The problem comes with Windows 7 machines. On Windows 7 machines (I have also tried this with Windows 7 Ultimate in VMWare) I can access server, I can see its shares, but as soon I try to access folder I've created for projects, I get Access Denied message
with request for User login credentials. Whichever user account I use (even servers main Administrator account) I keep getting this message over and over and I'm unable to access it at all.
I have also tried to access the server through VPN (from local or outside) but I'm getting the same error again. Also I've tried to add these Windows 7 machines to the domain and login with domain user but the result is the same. Turned off both firewalls
(on server and desktop machines, which I know is unnecessary, but lets try it), still same case. I've tried couple more things with registry editor on desktop machines which I found on different forums and websites but still no luck. And now I don't know
what else I can do.
Does anyone knows what's the problem here, have I set something wrong, have not set something I should?

Hi MeipoXu,
thanks for your response. I will first answer on your question.
Yes, the main issue is that we can see the folder when we access the server but we cannot access its contents from Windows 7 machines. I have tried on two machines, one with Windows 7 Home Premium version and the other one with Windows 7 Ultimate version
and the situation is the same.
As you recommended, I've checked Network Discovery and File and Printer Sharing and the situation is next: File and Printer Sharing is turned on all layers (Private, Public and Domain) while Network Discovery is off for all layers too. I don't know if this
is normal thing but Network Discovery cannot be turned on in Windows Server (I'm able to select Turn on Network Discovery and apply the changes, but when I get back to this settings page, I again see that it's turned off, so I assume this can't be changed
at all).
I also tried with icacls in command prompt and everything seems to be ok there regarding permissions. Share permissions are set to Full control to Everyone and Security permissions are set to Full control only for Administrators and the user group I've created
for employees in my company. The confirmation for this is that on Windows 8 machines you can access this folder without any problem and without getting any message connected with access permissions with any user account within this user group. This share is
created through File and Storage Services service in Server Manager panel.
And then something came up on my mind. I went in Server Manager to check shared folder settings in File and Storage Services and under Settings page I saw that "Encrypt data access" has been enabled (I enabled this option because I thought
I will get more security with this option). I asked my self what would happen if I disable it, tried it and now everything works ok on Windows 7 machines too. Now I assume that Windows 7 doesn't have this feature implemented or there are some
settings which needs to be set on Windows 7 machines to make this encryption thing work with Windows Server. So basically, I will let this feature off for now until I find out more about it and how to implement it to work with all operating systems.
I want to thank you once more for your kind help!

Unable to install update version 1.6.0.393 with error code 3 (Administrator privileges)

Photoshop CS2 denying administrative privileges

I just installed Photoshop CS2 on Windows Vista and registered it using my serial number, but when I open the program to use it, a window pops up telling me "You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges. Pleases log in using an account with administrator privileges and try again."
The problem is that it's my personal laptop and I'm the only user (or administrator for that matter) on it. Why isn't it accepting that? I tried asking Microsoft for answers but they said to ask the Adobe Support team. I called technical support but they don't do CS2 anymore. Anybody have answers?

Don't run the program installer when you put the DVD in. You need to explore the disk. Look for the photoshop folder. Open the folder and look for the .exe file, right click on that and choose run as Admin.
Before you install on Windows 7 ensure any anti-virus is turned off to include windows defender. Keep UAC running.

How can IT departments set up basic users to run Captivate with Administrator privileges?

As we all know, on WinVista and Win7 or later systems Adobe Captivate must be launched with Run As Administrator privileges in order to function correctly and not crash. But the problem here is that in many corporate environments general users are not allowed to have Administrator access to their own work PCs. This presents something of a dilemma for IT departments with Adobe Captivate users.
Some time ago on this forum one of the Adobe technical staff chimed in on a thread about the Run As Administrator command and explained the technical steps required to set up a Group Policy in WinVista/Win7 that would allow a basic user to always launch Captivate with the necessary admin privileges even though they did NOT have Administrator access to any other app on their PC.
I have searched in vain to find that particular thread and post, so I've started this thread in the hope that someone at Adobe can again chime in to detail the necessary steps again.
So is there anyone there that can help out?

DOH! my bad.....I/we run WinXP at present and no UAC.
However, all may not be lost, try some of these options as posted on teh MS Technet forums....An admin person may need t do this first to enable this for that user...
Apologies for misundeerstand situation. ;-( hate it when that happens!

Error inserting image file in Excel 2013, it's working with administrator privileges

When I tri to insert image file like .JPG in Excel 2013, I get an import error. It's working fine with administrator privileges.
I check, graphic filter (registry values) and made also an Office repare. But i have still the problem.
My computer: Windows 8.1 64 bits, Office 2013 32 bits

Try to check the grant permission for the Excel property itself.
Try to insert image from other path, e.g. D:\ to check if we still receive the error.
Try to run Excel with safe mode. ("Excel.exe /safe") and perform th insert action without any add-ins interrupt. Thanks.

•Install Photoshop Elements with an account that has administrative privileges

I will be upgrading to photoshop elements 12 and read that it was necessary to install photoshop elements with an account that has administrative privileges. I'm not sure how to do this.

Waltard wrote:
I guess I’m wondering if I upgrade to photoshop elements 12 whether the problem will continue with 12
There is no problem with any of the PSE versions. I have used version 10, version 11 and version 12 in trial mode and I didn't see any problems with any of them.
Your case is unique in that you have only one user account on the machine and so by default that account has all the privileges of an Administrator.
also, you don't need to uninstall anything; Version 10 and version 12 can work from your one machine. they are installed on separate folders so don't worry about having old version on your machine.
Just go ahead and install version 12. You can download a trial version of PSE12 and it has all the features and functions of the boxed version that you can buy from Amazon or some big name stores. After installing the trial version, you can use it for 30 days and by that time you will have made up your mind whether 12 is better for your need. If you like it, all you need to do is to buy the boxed version and use the serial number to activate what is already on your machine. You don't need to re-install it using the DVDs in the box.
Hope this helps.

Error installing software - administrator privileges

I'm trying to install software via Adobe Application Manager using my creative cloud subscritpion but i'm always getting errors.
The first time i installed things were fine, i was downloading photoshop but i had to reboot my mac and that's when i started having the error "administrator privileges are required to install. please retry or cancel to install later." for all the prpduct lines of software, even after inserting my mac administrator login.
after chceking different options nothing seems to solve the problem http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/general-installation-troubleshooting-cs5-cs5.html
- logging in with a different user (with administrator privileges)
- enabling a root user
- installing adobe support advisor (does not detect any errors). i have manually checked the logs but there are no logs registered at all for this errors.
- i have even downloaded again the adobe app manager software again but i can't seem to locate where the previous file is (the utilities folder with the folder for this app does not contain the program itself or the unisntaller, just a bunch of different stuff), so i think that the new file does not really install a new version of the adobe manager
i'm really desperate here. have so much work to do today and no solutions. Any ideas?
MAC OSXLion v10.8.2

seems that i solved the problem:
i found a post with a similar problem and they referred to an updated application manager file. the link was only for windows but i searched and installed this one http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4774&fileID=4438 and i can donwnload programs again
it seems that it's different from the file that i downloaded yesterday from adobe creative cloud user page https://creative.adobe.com that is older
