Firefox tells me that I don't have sufficient priveleges to upload new version.

When I tried to upload the new version of firefox, a message appeared that said I didn't have sufficient privileges to upload. This is a laptop which my son-in-law gave me. He doesn't remember his password.

The last version for OSX 10.3.9 and earlier is Firefox 2.0.0.20. All newer Firefox versions require OSX 10.4 and newer.

  • Why does Firefox tell me that I don't have the latest version of Flash but Adobe tells me that I do?

    Firefox keeps telling me that I have to upload a newer version of Adobe Flash. However, Adobe tells me that I have the latest version. Also, Google Chrome lets me see pages that Firefox will not load because it thinks I don't have the right version of Flash! Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

    Which version of the Flash player do you have?

  • I am trying to download a quicktime movie.  A pop up tells me that I don't have the format to support it.  What do I do?

    I am trying to download a quicktime movie.  A pop up tells me that I don't have the format to support it.  What do I do?

    OK, let's start from scratch since things seemed to have gotten confused.
    What exactly are you trying to do? It would seem that you are trying to redeem a digital copy of a movie you purchased on a DVD or Blu-Ray disk. Is that correct? What studio site is providing this "free movie"? (post the URL to this download page if you can).
    Regards.

  • HT4759 How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

    How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

    An iPod Shuffle can't use iCloud.  It can only be used on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a supported Mac or PC. 
    Also you can't create and iCloud acount on your PC (or your iPod Shuffle).  You have to create your account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  After creating the account on one of these devices you can sign into it on your PC.  But this still won't allow you to add songs to your iPod Shuffle as it doesn't support iCloud.

  • After working correctly before Firefox now says that I don't have the propper permission to have the automatic upgrade process. New iMac and MacBook Pro both afected. Using Snow Leopard

    After working correctly since I started using the iMac Firefox now say that I do not have the privileges to have it auto update the Firefox. I don't think I changed anything.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Since last update

    Well, running on a 2006 model.  I did not have a startup disc.  Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006.  Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set.  And, since then I think I popped it up to lion. 
    All I have on a disc is snow leopard.  And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive.  I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now.  We'll see what they tell me .  I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
    Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff.  So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc.  we'll see if they can recover.  If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system.  Just not sure at this point.

  • When I try to open the latest version I get a message saying I don't have sufficient priveleges for some of them items

    I have version 6.0. I downloaded the latest version. When I move the icon to the applications folder I get a message asking if I wish to replace the older version. When I say yes, I get a message saying I don't have "sufficient privileges for some of the items."

    It is better to download a new copy of the Firefox program from:
    http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • OVI tell me that I don't have Outlook, but I have ...

    1. Windows XP SP3 included on a Windows 2003 server domain
    2. Outlook 2010 (14.0.5128.5000 (32 bits)) connected with Exchange 2003 server.
    3. OVI 3.1.1.85
    (Installed in this order)
    When I try synchronize calendar & tasks, OVI tell me that I need Windows Calendar or Microsoft Outlook. But I have Outlook.
    What can i do?

    Hi esr86,
    There is an Office Diagnostic feature in the Help tab of Outlook. See if it can find and repair something? In the same Help menu there is a list of Deactivated elements, which may have blocked one or more functions on an earlier occasion. If anything there, try enabling it again.
    It may be wise to shut down Ovi Suite completely while doing this, and reboot the PC afterwards just to be on the safe side.
    Best regards
    Hans

  • When I try to update Firefox it says that "you do not have sufficient privileges for some items." This is my personal laptop. I'm stuck. Thanks

    I'm working on a Mac laptop. Currently Firefox is on version 3.6. I've never been able to update the browser. Any suggestions? Thank you

    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.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • HT1923 i couldn't open itunes so it suggested i uninstall and reinstall. when i go to reinstall a message comes up that i don't have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    i found that i couldn't open itunes on my home computer so the website suggested i uninstall and reinstall the program. i uninstalled it then tried to reinstall and an error box comes up that says to verify i have sufficient privileges to start system services. I'm not sure what this means or how to fix it so i can finish the installation process.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I have an Iphone and a mini Ipad.  When I open Safari on my Iphone  I can see the open tabs that are open in my Ipad, but when I open Safari in my Ipad it tells me that I don,t have any open tabs in my other device, which is not correct.

    What can be the problem that the Icloud tabs on Safari don,t appear from my Iphone in my Ipad?

    Make sure you have inadvertently turned on private browsing on your phone.  It will not sync iCloud tabs if private browsing is turned on.  There are some other troubleshooting steps you can look through here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372.

    My iPhoto app was digressed back to 9.5, not sure how I did it.  I went to time machine and restored. Now it wont accept my password.  tells me it is locked.  Can anyone help me?

    Run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility and see if that helps.
    If not, you can select the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder, go File > Get Info (or Command-i), go to the bottom of the info window and set your permissions to Read & Write. On the Action menu at the bottom (the one with the gear) choose Apply to enclosed items...
