I can't download Firefox on my MacBook Pro message comes up saying I don't have access to some of the items

I download and then drag the icon into the application folder. Then a message comes up saying I don't have permission or access to some of the items. I have no idea what that means. My computer is MacBook Pro operating system 10.6.7

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
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Trying to upgrade to 3.6.8, and it says I can't because I "don't have access to some of the items. What in the world does this mean, and what do I do?

I'm on a new Mac Mini running 10.6.4, bought in January and loaded with what I assumed was the latest version of FireFox--what I have is 3.5.2. I know I upgraded at least once since January
When I try to download 3.6.8, it says that I "don't have access to some of the items."
I don't think I've downloaded any plug-ins or anything that should trigger this. I have done a bunch of the standard upgrades that Microsoft incessantly sends out to fix problems in the Office suite. Haven't added any new applications. Can't figure out the problem. HELP!

Hello.
Try this:
- uninstall your current version of Firefox (no data will be lost)
- delete it's Firefox install folder (not your profile folder)
- install the new version
That should circumvent this problem. If you can't delete your Firefox install folder, after having uninstalled it, maybe it's because some of the files are locked. Try rebooting the system. If that doesn't help, ask Apple for support.

Why can't I open folders (pictures) on my mac mini - it says I don't have access

I can't open the Pictures or Music or any other folders that I have in Users on my hard drive

Hey BDAqua,
Thanks for that. Made me think. I used one of my other logins by accident. For some reason my Mac MIni will let me log in using one of two usernames. So that was an easy fix that I should have known. I appreiciate your suggestion.

I have downloaded a trial version of Photoshop. But it says I don't have access or to open it in another file. What other file should I open it in?

I have had this trouble before in trying to set up Adobe Photoshop on my iMac.
I get it all installed and then it tells me I cannot open it. That I do not have access. To check "Get info" - well I do have access.
So then it say to copy it in Finder. I did that. But it still won't let me in.
It then says to try "saving it in another file." What does this mean?

Your description is vague and confusing, so I'm afraid nobody really knows what's going on. Perhaps try again using proper terminology and including exact error messages, system info and all that?

Am I the only one that see's the walled garden horror in that statement?
Go to a Office type store or online and buy a copy of Windows 7 Home Basic, Home or Pro (whatever) and stick the 64bit DVD into the computer.
You'll have to first learn about Bootcamp if your going to want to dual boot, it's complex and a hassle, but gives full hardware performance.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Another way is to first install VMFusion, Parallels or VirtualBox and then install Windows into that, Windows runs like a file in a window on OS X. You can run Windows programs in that, but it's not as powerful as BootCamp method, but more convenient for most normal (non-hardware taxing) programs.

Is your Mac new?
http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
FWIW, iWork as such is no longer available; it is now separate applications: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Do you have the older (via install DVD) iWork 09 version installed? Then the new versions should show up in Updates (mac app store).

If it was purchased on the App Store, then yes. But it will require the same Apple ID used to purchase it in order to re-download it onto your computer. The re-download is free.

TA25361 I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to recover this info? Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addres

I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to recover this info? Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.

Barry

Can I download facetime? I bought my iphone from UAE, and I don't have facetime.

FaceTime is unavailable on iPhones sold in UAE and it can't be installed afterwards.

My Macbook Pro is 3 years old. Lately I have noticed that after charging the available battery time is approximately 3:30. This is with little or nothing running. And sure enough after 3:30 hours of mixed use (email, web surfing, file work) it's done.

My Macbook Pro is 3 years old. Lately I have noticed that after charging the battery life indicated is approximately 3:30; this is with little or nothing running. And sure enough after about 3:30 of mixed use (email, web srfing, file work) it's done. I'm thinking I should be getting better than that; at least twice that number.

So I am sitting in Nagoya and have plugged in the hotel LAN cable because the WiFi wasn't kicking in and my battery capacity is 6-7 hours! Most other places had a good reliable WiFi which is what I would normally use; I'm thinking the WiFi is a bit of a battery-hog. Stuff you learn.

Cannot empty trash can in iMac. Says I have no access to some of the items. Any ideas?

I created some files and folders on my iMac and deleted them. This time around when I try to empty the trash can via secure emptying it says I have no access to some of the items... Very strange.

Thank you.

Can iPad downloads be transferred to macbook pro

can iPad downloads be transferred to macbook pro

If by downloads you mean applications that run on the iPad, then the answer is no because the iPad and and MacBook have two very different operating system and an application file that will run on one will not run on the other (although some software developers have separate and similar versions for each).
If you don't mean applications then reply with some more detail about what type of download you are asking about.
