Cannot download updates without error message

Whenever I try to download my computer's updates, an error message pops up saying that I do not have sufficient admin privileges to download them. This is troubling because my account is the only account on my computer, and is clearly registered as an "admin". How can I fix this so that I can download my software updates?

Try repairing your permissions. If that does not work, try booting from your install disc and reset the admin password.

Cannot download pictures get error message

when trying to download pictures I get an error message. The Ipod "bill's ipod" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to. Am i doing something wrong or is there somethig wrong with my ipod?

It sounds like your iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to not copy photos during import, i.e. a Referenced library:
Check your Advanced preferences to see if that's the case. If it is the best solution would be to select the checkbox to copy the photos and reimport the photos from the flash drive. Then check the new import. It it was OK you can delete the previous event with the "missing" photos.

Trouble Downloading Updater receive error message OVER and over again

Hello! I have that little folder picture on my ipod and when I went to the support site, it said that I needed to download the updater. I signed in and clicked download. The next thing that happens is that I get this message:
Our apologies but there was an error with your session (perhaps you were away from your computer for a while). Click here to return to the download page. It happens over and over again and won't let me download the updater. I have a Compaq Presario V2000 laptop with Windows Xp. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I hope this is the right forum to ask this

Is your iPod connected while you're trying to download this file? If so, I'd try a different approach. Turn off your computer to get rid of all temporary files. Then, when you reboot, download the updater file to your desktop. (When the file starts to download, tell it to Save to your Desktop--it shouldn't "Run"--it should "Save" and then you can click on the down arrow and choose desktop.) After the download completes, then hook up your iPod and try to update it again. Is it successful now?
If you can update your iPod, save the update file to your computer, incase you have to go back to this version at some future point. Right click on the desktop icon and send the file to your preferred storage disk.

How does first time ipod user download software without error message?

Each time I try to download off the disc that came with new 5th Generation, I get a message reading "Warning: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning cd's and Dvd's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burning software. Please re-install iTunes."
I have re-installed several times, both from the disc and the internet and get the same error. I would delete "other cd burning software" on my computer if I knew what it was ,and was sure I do not need it. Can anybody help a very frustrated non-techie? Many thx.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300448 Heres a start.
This happens on certain PC's. I dont know if you care to know the ins and outs of why this sometimes happens, but here is why and how to fix it. an application (such as Roxio, Nero, iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some folks, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists.
the thing to do to reclaim your optical drives is located in your registry here:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}
You'll want to have that open, and a mini-window of the following:
START -> CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM -> Hardware (tab) -> DEVICE MANAGER -> Offending Drive (with yellow tag by it) Right-Mouse-Click and PROPERTIES -> Driver (tab) -> DRIVER DETAILS
Notice that list. It references all the drivers that that particular drive is utilizing. There should be a single .DLL (dynamic link library) file and multiple .SYS files. It's the .SYS files we're focusing on, and they should be located in your C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ folder stem. If you want to open a new window explorer, and go verify that each of those driver files still exists in that folder stem, you may.
At this point, compare the Driver File Detail list with the Registry Tree Location you're sitting in, and look at the UpperFilterCheck and LowerFilterCheck key values. Your offending key value will NOT be on your Driver File Detail list!!! It might be as small as "PFC" or something else, but that value is referencing to a driver file that no longer exists. Delete that offending key value. Close the registry.
Close the Driver File Details and Drive Properties windows. At this point, to finish this up, you need to Soft Uninstall (Right-mouse-click on the drive, and hit "Uninstall" ) the drive(s), let the Device Manager refresh... then hit ACTION -> Scan For Hardware Changes ...
This should start a new Found New Hardware cycle, and.... poof!... your drives should be back to normal.
Let me know how it goes.
Good Luck,
Rachyl

Cannot download McAfee. Error message: Javascripts not running. BUT it is enabled...

Not sure why this is an issue. Have run PC clean up, made sure to run everything by book. Download goes through to very last and then says Javascripts not enabled/working. I have already double checked settings. Javascripts IS selected to run, so where do you think my issue is?

Solved the problem.

I cannot download updates to Photoshop Elements 9. I get an error message that my serial number is not recognized or eligible. Can you help with this?

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
What updates are you trying to download?
The last update was 9.0.3 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Photoshop Elements
The last supported Camera raw is ACR 6.5 - check by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-ins -> Camera Raw
Do you have a reason to update?

Did you check your security software settings?
Error 3000-3999: (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3164, 3194, and so on) Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

Cannot download updates in SCCM after SP1 Updrade

Hi all,
I have upgraded my SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 last week and since then I cannot download updates.
It gives the error message "Error: Failed to download content id 16779439. Error: Access is denied
I have tried reinstalling WSUS onto the server which seems to be working fine, but I still cannot download the updates in SCCM.
I am a full administrator of SCCM and a domain admin on the Server itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard

Im not sure what permissions I should be looking for, Everyone has read access to the foler, there is a Network Service account with full access, and other than that WSUS Administrators and Administrators groups have full access also.

IPod cannot be updated Unknown error-48

Help - have installed iTunes 7.0.1 and am trying to keep ALL the music on my iPod so have tried to set the options to manual update. But although the computer senses the iPod is connected, when I try and drag new files to my iPod, I get the message "iPod cannot be updated Unknown error-48" Any advice gratefully received

Hey!
Just an update since last week.
Still comes up with the "Unknown Error_48" when coupled to the Mac.Doesn't sync to iTunes and says it's upto date in the summary.Never had any issues like this (until iTunes 7 and 1.2).Kinda renders the whole iPod thing a bit useless.
Being able to update the library on your Pod is essential.Otherwise what's the point?My Pod still 'works'but not quite the way Apple intended I think.
SORT IT OUT APPLE!!
