I can't get it to open after download. Get message "the item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions."

I can't get Firefox to open after I download it. I don't understand why I am getting the error message I am getting. I am the only user of the PC- what does I don;t have appropriate permissions mean or why do I get it?

Ok. seems like I am in bigger problem than what i thought..So i did what you asked me and here is the log from the scan

I uninstalled Firefox and not it will not install for me. I get a error that says, The item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions. What can I do?

Here is a pic.

Why do I get the message "The item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions." after having installed the updated version of Firefox, and the program won't start?

I have tried to install the updated version several times, and each time I get the same message. I have never experienced this kind of a problem with Mozilla before.
I have a Windows 7 system and a new computer, so I suppose it's not a computer bug.

When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I get a different error message if I try to uninstall it.

When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've been able to uninstall all Apple products except iTunes as I get this error message: "The Installer has insufficent privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\i Tunes\Acknowledgments.rtf." I've had the iTunes on my laptop for a year and a half with no problems until now.

Any suggestions please?

A form template .xsn file cannot be accessed. You may not have the required permissions to open the file

Hi there,
When a workflow task is assigned to a user, he cannot open a particular task. and
sees this error in browser:
A form template .xsn file cannot be accessed. You may not have the required permissions to open the file
The ULS Log for Correlation ID has these errors:
The XSN is null and its not a cross server issue. Most likely a permission issue
The XSN is null after attempting to get it from SiteAndWebCache
Please note:
- This user can open all other forms in the same location.
- If I increase his permission to Site Owner, he can open this form - but we cannot allow this.
- He was able to open it earlier - I made minor changes in the form and republished the workflow - since then he is having the trouble.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi ran009,
Please check if that user has contributor permission on the list that the workflow associated and have Edit item permission on related task list/item.
Also check if the workflow form or other workflow files has been checked out or not. If yes, check it in and test it again. Check Wayne Fan’s post in this thread if you have trouble to check the check-out/in status of the task form.

Uninstalled, tried to reinstall firefox- get message Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to

Firefox would not load Yahoo home page properly, checked add ons and plugins-no problem. So unistalled. When reinstalling, went through until the end, then I get:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access this item.
I went through the Help section on this page, even to right clicking the file and "run as administrator". It went through and restarted the computer. When I went to look for the program, it wasn't listed in All programs. I searched files and the only thing there was the same message as above.

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

right click the installation file and click 'run as administrator'.

Windows can not access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item?

You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item? Thats what it says when I try to open iTunes. Ive tried repairing iTunes from control panel... Ive tried reinstalling. Im running windows vista on an acer laptop. It was working fine until something (unknown to me) happened.(?) The destination its searching in is C:Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe. Ive tried everything so far.... Please help!

Are all of the computer users administrative users?
Do you have another account logged in with iTunes open, when you try to use a different account? iTunes doesn't work with fast user switching, so make sure you choose "log off" instead of "switch user" when moving between user accounts.

Hi
I am trying to edit the "Default Domain Controllers Policy" but when I click on Edit, I get the error message as shown below.
We have three domain controllers, 2 of them (hq-dc1 and
hq-dc2)are 2008 R2 and one (hq-dc3) is 2012 R2.
The permissions are correct as I'm trying with domain admin account and I checked the permissions and domain admins have the necessary permissions.
The Policy does exist.
The replications works fine also!
any ideas any one???

Hi everyone and thanks for all your help.
The only GPO effected is the "Default
Domain Controllers Policy". I can edit any other GPO's fine.
I have tried editing "Default
Domain Controllers Policy" from all three domain controllers and I get the same error on all of
them.
I can access SYSVOL via the shared path also and read the contents.
I have looked at the threads provided also but still no luck :(

Can't open iTunes. Error messages says: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item." Help?? (Windows 7)

I have tried uninstalling iTunes and all of it's "Apple counterparts" (like Quicktime, Bonjour, etc)
I have also tried to restore my computer to before it crashed, and that didn't work either.
Please help!

Hi
Some required information are needed for us to help you.
Hi NabeelOmer,
We wonder if you have taken any action such as system restore after this issue occurred.
You might also try this command to restore your access control list.
Run this command to navigate to the drive letter, example is D
D:
To reset all permissions, run this command
icacls * /reset /t /c /q
Visual Studio is a very invasive program and which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions for system, user should never try uninstalling it manually without any guidance.
Visual Studio made changes for your whole system, if the file has been moved or deleted this error would occur.
Since you mentioned that you get this error almost everywhere even in control panel. We suggest you repair/reinstall your Visual Studio first and check if it could be fixed.
How to: Repair Visual Studio

Firefox updated to 6.0.1 and now I cannot open it, or even reload it, without the message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file, You may not have the approprate permission to access the item."

This is a new problem... I've never had issues with Firefox before. I use firefox for everything at work and it is beyond inconvienent to not be able to access my websites, etc.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

When i try to open firefox it tells me windows cannot access the specified device, path or file, you may not have the apperioate permission to open the item. I have tried to uninstall and re install and it still will not open.

this happened when i downloaded the latest patch and i have not been able to access it since.

I would expect wording related to connection, but see
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

I can't get it to open after download. Get message "the item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions."
