Flash doesn't install due to lack of permissions

I get the following message:
The installation encountered errors:
A required file
(C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll
5) could not be written due to insufficient permissions

OK. What now? Why do I not have permission?

Hi AJ, Well, at least you were able to solve the issue. I don't know either why you weren't able to Install the first time either. With restrictions on the computers, it is hard to tell. Glad that worked for you. Might be something for others to try when they have that problem.
Thanks for posting your solution.

App won't install due to lack of space - with enough space on the phone

I try to install the navigation TomTom western Europe with size 1,6 gb. ITunes and phone says that I have 2,7GB free, but it refuse to install due to lack of space?

Navigon needs at least 3.3gb to install(Twice the apps size, at a minimum). To make sure you have enough space you should allow no less than 4gb. The space will be freed up once installation is complete.

Flash doesn't install with IE, works with Firefox

Hi,
I am using Vista 32 bit. Many months ago I used IE 8. One day Flash stopped working. I tried many times to uninstall and reinstall. It would say installed correctly, but didn't work. After days of frustration, I gave up and switched to Firefox, where it worked just fine. I am currently on Flash V 10.2.153.1 and just recently updated to Firefox 4. A few days ago I downloaded Chrome and it works there too. Today I thought I would try downloading IE 9, to see if the new version might cause it to start working, but no luck.
I have looked at Windows/system32/macromed/flash for the file NPSWF32.dll; it shows v 10.2.153.1.
In IE tools - manage addons under show all addons it has shockwave flash object enabled 10.2.159.1.
When I go to the Adobe page that is supposed to show what version of Flash is installed, I get nothing - the red F is not rotating.
Now here is one more thing - I created a test user account on my computer, logged off my account, logged on to the test account, and Flash worked with IE, and showed v 10.2.159.1. Logged back on to my old account - still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanx

Hi, I've been busy today getting ready for Easter and Family things:-) Just checking back in and read your thread.
I can see you are happy Great, glad that took care of it. That you didn't see this in other posts/threads isn't surprising. There are so many things that involves Flash Player. Not Installing or Uninstalling, not working & why. The "why" is the hard part since there are so many varibles that can be involved. So I usually start with the most obvious first and continue with a process of elimination. In your case I don't think the UAC was operating properly, that's why I mentioned it in the first place.
Windows is great, but it can have a glitch here and there. My "Safely Remove Hardware" was not showing up in the system tray today when I was using a USB. So I had to track that down and finally got that working.
Your touchpad drivers are doing that? I would consult the manufacturer of your computer after reviewing this in the Vista Forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-performance/touch-pad-on-ke yboard/c2f1af9d-8447-48f1-8def-2554fc0779ca
Pat would probably know more on drivers.
Regarding Norton and the MBAM scan. When running an MBAM scan it's best to just Disable Norton or any AV one would have Installed, then Close all browser windows. That way nothing will interfere with the scan or conflict with MBAM.
I hope you get your touchpad driver issue solved.
Also, don't forget to mark your thread as answered. This will help others that may have the same problem you did. The Search feature should be working again soon and that will help.
Thanks,

Itunes doesn't sync due to lack of memory

Hi, my iTunes doesn't synch my ipod touch anymore due to the fact that the ipod lacks the memory to import. In the past, it would make a special playlist for my ipod, but iTunes doesn't even give this option anymore.
Does anyone have an idea how i can force itunes to make this playlist again?
Sorry for my crappy english, but i'm not used to typing english anymore

Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist you could adapt this example to suit the capacity of your iPod (this one is for a 4GB Model). Go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

How can I select the minimum size of Elements 10? It won't install due to lack of disk space on C:

I have just purchased and downloaded Elements 10. Can't install it due to insufficient disk space on my C drive. I have enough space on my D drive, but it will not install there, probably because my sustem files are on C drive. The Install wisard does not provide for a selection of the size of Elements 10. Is there a way to select the minimum size? If so, how can I do this?

There is not an option to customize the installation. The system requirements for Photoshop Elements 10 request that you at least have 4 gigabytes free, plus more for installation, how much free space do you have on your C drive?

ITunes 10.1.1. doesn't install due to Quick Time not installed correctly

Somebody please help me! I am trying to install iTunes 10.1.1. but always get the error "...QuickTime did not install correctly...". I have removed QuickTime and installed the latest version but still get the same error. I'm using Vista 32-bit.
Problem is that here in Africa downloads are extremely slow and expensive, I have already downloaded iTunes+QuickTime as well as QuickTime separately but always get the same error. Currently I am using iTunes 10.0.6.68, which works fine, but I cannot update the iPod software without iTunes 10.1.1.
Any solution that can work will be highly appreciated!

This drives me nuts. All I ask is that iTunes remembers how I like to sort my media, and that it plays in the order in which I have chosen to sort.
I've had this problem since I edited the "year" field in all my music, just so I could sort and listen to it chronologically. Isn't that the order that makes the most sense?
I figure it would only take a small edit to the iTunes programming so that it remembers the order in which you sort, instead of defaulting to alphabetical all the time.
I suggest telling Apple directly: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Maybe enough of us can make a change.

Adobe flash doesn't install

The following error:

Hello,
I am not able to reproduce the behaviour you are experiencing. The installer downloads fine and launches without getting the damaged disk error. Have you tried downloading the installer again? Please delete the file you downloaded and try to download it again.

Iphone update 2.0 sync issue due to lack of permissions

I found this posting in the ipod section. After countless hours on the phone with appple tech support and a 2 hour visit to the "genius bar" (the "genius" suggested I should go ask the geek squad for help!)this fixed my problem!!! Apparently, there are some tracks in iTunes that prompt this error. Removing and replacing the traks in iTunes repairs the traks. Good Luck!
Back Up Your Playlist Data
Open iTunes and choose the "Export Library" option from under the iTunes menu. Save this file to the desktop. This file represents all of your playlist data.
Delete Your Library
Quit iTunes and open up your Music folder. Nvigate to your "iTunes Music" folder. Inside of that is a folder called "iTunes". Located inside of that is your iTunes library, it is comprised of two files:
iTunes Library
iTunes Library.xml
Move these files your desktop, they will no longer be read by iTunes.
Add Track Back to Your Library
Relaunch iTunes, all of your tracks and playlists will be missing. Drag your Music folder onto iTunes, iTunes will re-add all of your tracks.
Import Your Playlist Data
Now that your tracks have returned, import your playlist data back. Choose the "Import" option from under the iTunes menu and choose the file your exported back in the first step. iTunes will load in your playlist data and re-link your tracks to your playlist.
After this final step, I can now synchronize my library to my iPod without issue.

Lync Hybrid : Unable to write to active directory due to lack of permission

Hello everyone,
I need a little help to troubleshoot a problem I have when moving a user to Lync Online.
My client has a Dirsync and Adfs working perfectly with o365.
My problem is that when I try to move a user to Lync Online I have this error :
Move-CsUser -Identity "Username" -Target sipfed.online.lync.com -credential $cred -hostedmigrationOverrideUrl "https://admin0e.online.lync.com/hostedmigration/hostedmigrationservice.svc"
"Move-CsUser : Unable to write to Active Directory due to lack of permissions"
Like the error said, it's a lack of permission but what kind of permission do I need to make this work ? I've tried to googleit/technetit but no helpful topic found...
Thanks in advance for your help and answers.
Regards,
Adrian TUPPER - ABC Systemes - http://thelyncexperience.blog.com/ If answer is helpful, please hit the green arrow on the left, or mark as answer Thank you

Hi,
Did you solve the issue by adding the account to RTCUniversalUserAdmins group?
To move an on-premises user to your Lync Online tenant, run the following cmdlets in the Lync Server Management Shell, using the administrator credentials for your Microsoft Office 365 tenant. Replace "[email protected]" with the information for the user
that you want to move.
You can try to move the user from Lync Server on premises to Lync online with the help of the link below “Move users to Lync Online”:

Cannot save from lack of permissions

None of my work processing programs...bean, scrivener, textedit....can save files anymore.
the error say cannot save due to lack of permissions to write file.
I've tried reinstalling the programs, repairing disk permissions, rebooting without avail.
Existing files save fine and I can add new data but I can't make new file saves.

for desktop :originally it was user with read/write and everyone with no access
now i changed it to
admin and everyone with read/write but still no change.....
Your Desktop permissions were correct to begin with, but the change probably did no harm.
for HD it is now user/everyone/admin read/write
Do you mean you changed this to make your username the owner? It's a mistake to change the ownership or permissions of a startup disk.
The permissions on a startup disk should be
system - Read and Write
admin - Read and Write
everyone - Read only
If you change the ownership or permissions of a startup HD it could result in the system being unable to boot. Even worse, if you use the "Apply to enclosed Items" feature on any system-created folder you could irreversibly damage the OS. In general, changing the permissions on anything outside your home folder without knowing exactly what you are doing can make a bad situation worse.
At this point I would again Repair Permissions with Disk Utility. Check and report the HD permissions again after doing this.
What is your backup situation?

Rentals are a one-time only download from the store. If you can't free up enough space on your phone for it then you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they grant you a redownload for your Mac : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear. I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions. I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over. The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox. It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed. I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest. Getting very frustrated. They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments. I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

So is it actually installed, or is it not? If not, download and run the offline installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If it still does not work correctly, check
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

Unable to Open adobe reader Portfolios due to flash not being installed

Flash : 12.0
Adobe Reader: 11.05
OS: Windows 8.1
Browser: IE 11
Hi,
when launching a PDF that is classed as a portfolio I get the below error which appears to require flash to be installed.
two things im sort of observing:
due to being on windows 8.1 Flash is now installed via Microsoft. I cannot find a valid update for windows 8.1 from adobe site can find for windows 8 but nothing for windows 8.1
Since Flash player Plugin is no longer bundled with Adobe Reader I need to install seperatly but i cant because of point 1.
If i install the windows 8 version of flash onto the machine I can open the PDF file no problem but by doiing this im not sure what file i might be over wrtiing and cause further issues down the track .
Read somewhere that the NPSWF64_12_0_0_70.dll is what adobe reader would use . copy the file to the required location and registering the dll seemed to do nothing as i get the same error.
My question is how can i get the Flash Plugin for Adobe reader to work so that I can open PDF portfolios ?

Windows 8.x only comes with the Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer); you need to install the plugin manually from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe
