I ge this message: "A recommended security and stability update is available, but you do not have the system permissions required to install it." How do I solve this roblem?

I have an Apple OSX10.6.5. I am having difficulty with the Scottrade website and am wondering if my inability to install the above update is part of the problem.

Maybe it is better to wait with updating.

  • I have tried to update and it reports a security and stability update is available but says I do not have permission. I do not know what to do

    Okay, I hit "help" and then updates which it reports there is one but I do not have permission to install it. I am at a loss as what to do

    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 6.0.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.

  • 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?

    There's no 3.6.18, so there appears to be a glitch in the update checking. Or the message is not really from Firefox (malware site).

  • The item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions

    Hi
    I originally posted this in the Windows 7 Networking forum and they advised to post it here.
    We use Windows 7 SP1 clients with Roaming Profile and Folder Redirection and they are connected to a Windows 2008 SP2 server.  We are getting issues when someone tries to open files on their redirected Desktop and they get the message "'The item
    referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions" if you click browse it then defaults to a different users profile.  If you click through the errors the file eventually loads.  If you open Word from
    the Start menu and then browse to the file it opens fine.  We have found that deleteting the Normal.DOTM file sometimes fixes the error, but only seems effective 50% of the time.  This doesn't happen for all users, and seems to occur in small
    groups and not all the time.  We have also had the same message come up with someone trying to open Word files an online learning resource we have created.
    There are a couple of events showing for about the time the error occured they are:

    Hi
    An update.  We have approx 400 people with roaming profile/folder redirection on Windows 7/2008 and this only seems to have occurred to about 15 people, and then seems to clear up for a period and then happens again.  We also have a similar number
    of people with roaming profile/folder redirection on Windows 7/2003 system and we haven't had a report of this issue happening on this setup.
    So far we haven't been able to replicate the issue using a test account, so are struggling to find out what is causing it and why it is so random.

  • PS CS4...an unexpected and recoverable error has occurred because you do not have the necessary privileges...then PS Exits.

    Hello,
    Upon opening CS4 on my iMac I get the message an unexpected and recoverable error has occurred because you do not have the necessary privileges...then PS Exits.  I am running OS Mavericks.  If I switch to another Admin user account, the problem does not persist and I can run CS 4 with no issue. 
    I am pasting the text below from the error report.  Any help determining the issue would be great.  I read a ton of threads about this, but it seems each person has had a different fix result.  I have not gone the route of reinstalling OS, but will if needed.

    We just tried reinstalling Mavericks and it did not fix the problem.  Tried uninstalling all Adobe CS4 and reinstalling again.  There is an error report, but this thread will not let me post it without it saying it is SPAM

    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.

    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.

  • Error:This page contains content of "application/x-java-applet" type. You do not have the plug-in required to view this content.

    Hi....i m using Mac OS x 10.5.8 with safari Version 5.0.2 (5533.18.5). I just updated the Java version to Java 6 and now m getting below error:
    This page contains content of “application/x-java-applet” type. You do not have the plug-in required to view this content.
    Please help me out on this....

    I am also having a problem with this. My website is hosted through "www.onlinepictureproof.com" and now that my laptop is back from repair with OS X 10.6.8 I am unable to upload my photos to my work website. It says "a plug-in is needed to display this content. Install plug-in" and then a window pops up that says "no suitable plug-ins were found".  Below that is "unknown plug-in (application/x-java-applet)" with a link to "manual install" which takes me to "http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index-jsp-141438.html#download" which just leaves me lost. I've tried downloading the "JRE" but I have zero idea what that means or if Im downloading the proper thing. Once I click on the "download JRE" it brings me to a download page where there are WAY too many items for me to choose from to download, when I have no idea what I need or why I need it. please help, this is driving me insane. I actually preferred my constantly crashing laptop to the state its in now, "like brand new" back from apple repair...I have already updated everything that is promted through "Software Updates".
    "OnlinePictureProof.com" only directs me to apple support.
    Thank you for any help you can offer!

  • I shall open delete my present account with iTunes and open a new one - but I do not have the password. How can I then delete the present account??

    Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID).  That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

  • After AVG PC Tune up, software update message for security and stability update is available FireFox 3.6.18. Should I Update?

    My Dell laptop (Operating on Windows XP) was hit with multiple viruses - I could not open Mozilla Firefox or any other applications for that matter. After much time and many attempts, I was finally able to install and run an AVG Scan and then an AVG PC Tune up. 4,559 problems found and repaired. After the repairs, I received the following message:
    "Software Update - A security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox 3.6.18 - It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible. - an underlined link reading, "View more information about this update" and then 2 choices - "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox." Since part of the problem was with Firefox and some error messages pointed to that, I'm hesitant to click on any of the three options above. Can you help me to get past this error message, please. I am sending this from my home computer. Thank you. Diane

    Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer

  • Is a solo window saying "A security and stability update is available." to install FF26 really valid or is it bogus?or

    Here is what the questionable window looks like:
    upper left corner/across and down
    ln1 (ff global logo) "Software Update"
    ln2 "Update available"
    ln3 "A security and stability update for Firefox is available:
    ln4 "Firefox 26.0"
    ln5 "It is strongly reco'd that you apply this update for FF asap.
    ln6 HTML Link "View more info about this update"
    ln7 (bottom of window) "ask Later" button and "Update FF" button
    While entering this info the window went away!!!
    Before it did i could not copy any of the text (do have screen shot however) and the link did not resolve to any web address. Looked like std FF page but NEVER seen anything like it before!
    no way i was going to click anything except the close [X] button.
    If it is valid, you need to remove the restrictions on it; to make it less suspicious.
    If it is bogus, do you have a plugin or addon to intercept such malicious probes?
    Currently using FF25.0.1; on xp/sp3

  • A notice that a security update is available but UI do not have permissions to update, which I clearly do; I run Mac OS 10.6.4 and I am the administrator.

    I received a notice of a security/stability update to FireFox 3.6.3.
    I have a MacBook Pro 13" running OS 10.6.4. The claim is that I do not have permission to upgrade and I should consult with my system administrator.
    I am the administrator of this machine. I do not have another system administrator. I have never had this issue before, either with Firefox or any other software.
    I restarted Firefox and logged in again but the same thing happened
    ''(edited to stop the post from scrolling to the right)''

    Try doing a clean install.
    # Download the Firefox installer from http://www.mozilla.com
    # Trash the current Firefox application
    # Now try installing the new version of Firefox ([[Installing Firefox on Mac]])
    Doing the above will not remove your user data, that is stored elsewhere in the [[profiles|profile folder]], though if you wish you can back that up first
