Denied access to update security features of Firefox When i attempt to move update to apps it says i do not have permission..

There was a security message from Firefox that my firefox security was not protected. Idownloaded the program and attempted to move it to apps download but was denied permission.
I much prefer Firefox to Safari but am stumpted. Can any one help?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • My iPhone 4 has been saying You do not have permission to access the requested resource whenever I try to watch one of the episodes I bought from iTunes. It will not let me watch them and I don't know why.

    A few days ago I bought a season of the series Psych off of iTunes. I was able to watch the first bunch without a problem but now all of a sudden when I try to watch one it says "You do not have permission to access the requested resource". I tried restarting my phone but that do not help. I cleared up a lot of space on my phone as well. I have and iPhone 4 with the update of iOS 6.1.3.

    Are you using the same Apple ID that the purchase was linked to?  I had this issue with a shared device, and the other person had logged out of my ID and logged in with hers.
    If it's the same ID, then try redownloading the purchase.

  • Says I do not have permission to update to 4.0 for Mac OS - even though it's my computer and I'm the admin.

    I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7 on a new macbook pro. Trying to update to Firefox 4.0 but when I attempt to drag the update into my Apps folder, it says I do not have permission to update - even though it's my computer and I'm the admin. I've restarted the computer and reattempted, but it still did not work.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or if you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

  • Hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files'

    hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed and restored. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files' After my new drive was installed I plugged in time machine and it started backing up. I paused it when I realised that it was running for more than a few minutes. I now realise that it probably started backing up the new hard drive all over again. Which makes me think that the original back up must be on the WD back I cant seem to access it. Any ideas would be helpful.

  • When I try to play purchased videos on my ipad from iTunes, I get a message saying I do not have permission to access the requested resource...

    When I try to play a video on my iPad that I purchased from iTunes, I keep getting a message saying I do not have permission to access the requested resource...why?

    I experinced this when I tried to watch a YouTube video. What I did was restart the iPad and it should work. If it does not work, try doing hard reset, by holding the home and wake/sleep button, ignore the red slider, until the apple logo appears.

  • I can't Install my updates on my mac book , it starts to install and a box pops up saying i don't have permission to installpermission

    I can't Install my updates on my mac book , it starts to install and a box pops up saying i don't have permission to install

    So, then, after you click the Install button  you receive the permissions error dialog? Again, are you logged into an Admin account?
    Have you tried:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Also, please check the settings on your startup drive. Select it. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window, then open the bottom-most panel and check the settings. They should look like this:

  • My secure empty trash keeps stopping and saying 'I do not have permission to trash" I ahve checked the file info and there is no tick in the locked box also the files are from a memroy stick

    My secure empty trash stops and will not let me empty the trash. It says; I do not have access to some of the items. I have clicked continue, but it will not empty them.

    Open Terminal.app(/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type
    sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
    Be careful all of files in the trash are deleted with above command.

  • When a Safari download is interrupted, I get the message "You do not have permission to access the requested resource" when I try to restart it.

    I have had this issue with my Macbook Pro ever since I bought it in November.  If I start downloading a file with Safari, and the download gets interrupted, I am unable to resume downloading from the point where it was interrupted.  Clicking on "resume downloading" button in the downloads list works fine it I do it immediately after the download is interrupted, but if a little time has elapsed (as little as a few minutes) since the interruption it will not let me resume the download, and I get the message in the downloads list "You do not have permission to access the requested resource."  I have repaired my permissions...I don't know what else to do.  Here's my system configuration:
    Macbook Pro Mid-2012 Retina Display
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB RAM
    System 10.8.2
    I just have to editorialize for a moment:  My old Macbook Pro and my Mac Pro both worked great with Snow Leopard, but since upgrading the Mac Pro to Mountain Lion and buying the new Macbook I have had all kinds of issues like this.  Tech support at Panic software, that I contacted because of issues with some of their software, told me that I was only one of many with Mountain Lion issues, but here we're over half a year since the release of 10.8 and we're only on system 10.8.2.  Is anybody at Apple actually trying to fix the issues?
    Thanks for anything you can tell me!

    To have  EVERYTHING  on your New computer...
    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • Error message after checking for updates says I do not have permission to install and to contact administrator. I am the only user/owner of this computer so I AM the administrator. How do I install the update? I am using a MacBook Pro.

    MAC OS X 10.6.8. I can download and install a new version, but I'd rather just update. I can only assume this has to do with computer settings but I could not find anything settings that seemed related to this issue.
    I currently have Firefox 3.6.3. I don't use it all that often.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
