Administrator Privileges required - can't install PocketMac

I can't get around this issue. Honestly, I could never really sync my BB Storm to my PPC Mac. Now, after upgrading to Leopard, I get this error:
"The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access privileges."
I AM the administrator. I've repaired permissions. Don't know where else to go.

Please help
Can you tell me what version of Mac OS X you have and happened when you tried to install PocketMac? I've installed it, but it's not that useful. Rumor has it they are releasing BlackBerry Desktop for the Mac on Friday. I don't know if that's true--I signed up for updates weeks ago but haven't heard a word yet--but that's what other people here have told me.
Entourage is
a) an original HBO series
b) a mail program from the Micro$oft evil empire
I watched "a" for the first time last week. It wasn't bad, but I don't know what all the fuss is.
So far I have managed to lead a relatively full and productive life without ever using "b" (even though it is installed on my computer because I had to get M$ Awffice for work). Don't ever let anybody tell you you need it.
AFAIK the only way to get it is to go out and buy M$ Awffice, and if you get the le$$ expen$ive "Home and Student Edition," you get a stripped down version of Entourage that M$ Exchange servers won't even talk to and doesn't support Web services. The full version of Awffice will set you back $399.95 (list). Trust me. You can live without it.

It means what it says - you have to run as admin or a similar user with sufficient user privileges.

How do I obtain administrative privileges in order to install software ?

How do I obtain administrative privileges in order to download software ? I am trying to download Garmin Maps for my Garmin Nuvi 260W. Thank you.

Thanks Eric. I am the user administrator plus there is a guest user. However, when I attempt to download Garmin Express installer an apple box appears requesting my Apple Id and password and when I enter this nothing happens and when I cancel this I get a message stating that I need administrative privileges to install the software . Any assistance which you could give me would be greatly appreciated as it is very frustrating when I am unable to download maps from Garmin when I have previously purchased lifetime maps.

Why are administrator privileges required to log out of Creative Cloud?

Hi,
we are using Creative Cloud for Teams on managed Mac OS X-Clients, which means our users are working on standard user accounts and have no administrator privileges. They are able to sign-in to Creative Cloud with their Adobe ID without problem, but logging off is a different story: its impossible to log out of CC without administrator privileges.
Any informations regarding this issue?
Thanks!

Hi Abhijit,
CC was distributed to the client computers with CC Packager, where it's recommended NOT to distribute the CC Desktop app if the user has no admin privileges.
I gave it a try anyway and installed a package including CC Desktop, but it didn't help. When trying to sign out of CC, the user gets an error message, see following screenshot (it's in german, sorry).
Thanks for your help,
Tobi

Premiere Pro Downloading error: Administrative privileges required?

I am trying to download Premiere Pro onto my laptop. The download goes for a while with "updating Adobe Application Manager." Then I get an error message that says "We've encountered the following issue: Administrator privileges are required to continue with the installation." I am the only user on my computer. How do I fix this so the installation will complete?

right click the installation file>click 'run as administrator'.

Folio Builder panel in CS6 and CC (says update required) - can't install update (no Admin rights)

Hi. I've been running CS6 and the Folio Builder Panel keeps saying "DPS — A software update is required, go to the Help menu for Updates..." When I go to the Help section there are no updates. I recently moved to CC hoping the problem would fix itself but it hasn't. I downloaded the DPS Package update for both versions of the program — and I tried to install each one. Both give me error messages saying I don't have Admin rights. Adobe's tech support walked me through enabling Admin rights (although I should have had them already) and that didn't work.
Has anyone else had trouble installing the DPS update? I would like to actually use the DPS tools!
Thanks

Hi Bob, I ended up having to uninstall CS6, then reinstall it — then for a separate Folio Builder log in issue, I followed another thread and removed the (Application Support/Adobe) OOBE folder. Functioning smoothly for now! Thanks for your suggestion.

Administrator privileges required?

For whatever program you are trying to execute, right click it and see if there is a choice to Run as Administrator.

Issues with some apps requiring administrative privileges after installing Mavericks

Hi everyone. After updating to Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have experienced the following inconveniences.
1) Dropbox keeps asking for my administrative password at every boot.
Quite annoying. Reinstalling the app didn't solve the issue. Instead, Finder integration seems now gone.
2) VirtualBox won't start.
The error message is "Effective UID is not root (euid=217 egid=20 uid=501 gid=20) (rc=-10). Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.".
Needless to say that uninstalling the app with the script and reinstalling it didn't solve anything.
3) XQuartz is also gone.
It keeps popping out with this error message: "The application X11 could not be opened. An error occurred while starting the X11 server: "Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running. Click Quit to quit X11. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.".
If I hit "Quit", the message comes out after some seconds. I used XQuatz to run Inkscape, which I have now replaced with iDraw, but the issue is still annoying.
As far as I understand, the problem seems related with administrative privileges required by the apps. On my two other Macs (Mac Mini and iMac) things are fine, so I assume that somehow maybe some system files are messed up on the MBP. I ran a permission repair but it was useless. I searched the forums but it seems that nobody is experiencing the same troubles. I hope someone here may help me solve these issues without a fresh install. Any ideas?

I think this may now well be a keychains issue.

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.

Once i open the iCloud or address book I lose my administrative privileges, Mac OSX Mountain Lion

Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2
The problem did not exist before this upgrade.
If I open iCloud, or AddressBook, or if assistantd asks for Keychain Access password, I lose all my user's administrative privileges, I can't copy and paste files anymore and everything that comes with that.
The error I am getting is:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
If I go GetInfo on the file, I can no longer access the lock-unlock feature in bottom right.
My user was migrated from another Mac with OSX Lion, but I've had NO ISSUES until after the latest updates to 10.8.2.
This is really annoying and I do believe it's only because of the update, so any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Administrator privilege are required to install Adobe Master CS5.5

Hi All,
This is Tom. I'm logged in as local administrator to Windows 7 64bit OS and everytime I tried to install CS5.5 Master I kept getting this message, "Administrator privilege are required to install". Do you have any suggestion? I can install any program but just not CS5.5.
Thanks & Regards,
Tom

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for your advice.

Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer.

We have a simple runbook that runs an .exe program local on a remote server.
When I run the runbook within the Runbook Designer and the Runbook Tester it runs succesfully.
When I run the runbook within the Orchestration Console (http://server4:82) I get the error message "Access is denied. Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer."
Orchestrator hierarchy:
server1 Management Server
server2 Runbook Designer
server3 Runbook Server
server4 Web Server

Already solved it!
Even after making the Service Account a Domain Admin it didn't work after restarting the two services on server1. But I forgot the service on server3! Apparently when you use the Web Server it runs the runbook through the Runbook Server and when you
use Runbook Designer it runs locally within the Runbook Tester?

Why firefox can be installed without administrative privilege

A standard user (i.e without administrator or power user right),able to run the installation package able in his/her workstation.By default, any executable package should not be run without administrator privilege.
Please assist, thanks!

Hi jscher2000,
Yes. I do not want non-administrator domain users to install Firefox. Most of the domain users are using Windows XP and 7 Professional.
Once the Firebox executable file is clicked, Windows does prompt Windows Security message box for administrator username and password.
However, the installation process is proceed, even though no login information is inserted and domain user clicked "NO" .By default, any of the application installation process will be stopped once "NO" option is clicked.
Please advise.
Thanks
Thanks.

Can't install because of Administrator Password not working

Hi--I can't install anything because my administrator password is not accepted. I get a message that says something like this software requires Administrator or higher level privileges. I've checked it under "Accounts" in System Preferences. I've even changed it there, then changed it back, and I still get the same message. Help!! Janet

First off, what OS version are you running?
Second, are you saying that the installer application or something else is rejecting your password, or doesn't give you an opportunity to enter it? Where are you trying to install something, & what is it?
You should see a dialog box asking for your password with info about what app is asking for authentication, or at least be able to tell us what app is running (from its name appearing next to the Apple logo in the menu bar).
Depending on your situation, a permissions repair in Disk Utility may help.
