I get a message saying that I don't have appropriate permissions to install an extension
I get this message only on some extensions I try to install. Others install just fine. Other times I get a message saying that there was an internal error and that the extension won't be installed, even though the extension is for Dreamweaver CS4, which is what I'm using. These are for both extensions that are free and ones I have paid for. I am the admin on this workstation, so I can't understand why I get these messages, especially for the one about permissions. I am using a Dell PC with Vista Home Premium 32bit.
Most likely the VISTA UAC security settings are getting in your way.
To run a program as an administrator, follow these steps:
Right-click the icon that you use to run the program, and then click Run as administrator.
When you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the administrator password, or click Continue.

My husband received a message saying that there was an upgrade for FF Mozilla, so he proceeded to upgrade. After doing so he received a message saying we didn't have permissions. I took the laptop to the Geeks at Best Buy and was told that it was a software issue. We just want to get back to our previous version but can't do that either.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox 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.

IPhoto quit in the midst of importing some photos to the library. When I reopened it, it had some events, that were imported a few days earlier, which had no photos. They were missing. I tried Time Machine to restore the iPhoto Library to a version made a couple of hours earlier. But I got an error message saying that I did not have permission. I tried restarting iPhoto while holding down the Option key and tried to access the Time Machine iPhoto Library, but that only got me a portion of the library and not the portion that was missing earlier. When I restarted iPhoto this time, even more of my photos were missing.
Try repairing the permissions on your Time Machine, Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452

Tried to replace my firefox with 4.0, but unable to do so.
Error message saying" I do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient 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

Don't have appropriate permissions required to uninstall extension? (GuideGuide)
I'm receiving this message:
"you do not have the appropriate permissions required to perform this operation adobe site:forums.adobe.com"
When I try to uninstall the GuideGuide extension from extension manager.
The extension stopped working after they recently released a new update, so I went to update it, only to be told that I need to remove the old one in order to install the new one. Ok, fine. Then I go to remove it, and I get the above error! I definitely do have the permissions! I'm the administrator! Why doesn't the extension manager know that?
So, what do I need to do? Is there a way to manually remove the extension? I'm currently re-installing the extension manager in hopes that that works.
For others with a similar problem, they've been running windows and just need to 'run as admin', but for me, being on a mac... It seems it's an uncommon problem.
Thanks Adobe Community!
I'm running CS5 (or 5.1?)
-JulianOne thing you have to know: That you are administrator doesn't means that all applications you are running have administrative privilege automatically, no matter Windows or Mac. You have to explicitly tell OS (Windows or Mac) you want to run applications as admin. on Mac, sudo command should be used.
1. Run "/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app".
2. Input the following commnad then press "return" key.
sudo "/Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS5/Adobe Extension Manager CS5.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Extension Manager CS5"
3. Input your admin password then press "return"key.
BTW, privilege escalation feature was introduced in CS5.5. So in CS5.5 and later, you don't have to run EM this way. -
When I move this version (3.6.12) to the applications folder on a new i-Mac, I get the message that I "do not have permission to access some of the items." I do have read and write rights on all applications and hard drive. Any ideas?

My Macbook air keeps getting a message saying that the startup disk is full. I don't have picture, music, or movies on it. Im not sure whats wrong with it.
The first step is to check and see how much space really is there. From the desktop right click on the drive in the upper right corner (at least it's there by default) and select "Get Info" to see how much space it reports as free.
It's not just media files that eat up disk space, though they are often a major contributor. Do you happen to be running one of the virtual machine programs (Parallels or VMWare Fusion)? When you create a guest drive there you normally have a fairly decent amount of disk space dedicated to it and that can fill the drive.
As well, a quick fix that may buy you some time is to empty the trash if you've not done so recently. Click on the trash folder in your dock and then in the window that comes up select the option to empty the trash.
If you can free up some space, there are programs that will help you find what files and directories are using disk space. I've used Space Gremlin (in the App store) for that sort of thing, though there others. If you run that sort of utlity you'll get some idea about what is really eating up the drive space. -
When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until October 2014. I contacted the IRA account managment company and they sais it's an Apple issue. Any ideas?
Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS via iTunes, but I keep getting a message saying that an error [-5000] occurred and continuing will delete all content on my iPhone. What's the solution?
okay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...
Starting to get really annoying this thing.. Any smart suggestions what's going on? -
After using my browser (any of them) for a period of time I get a message saying that a page can't be opened. I have to reboot again. Clearing the cache doesn't help. It's very annoying. It even happened in the middle of a chat with Apple online support. I'd be very grateful for help!
Several things come to mind ... when you say your wife uses the same system with a different login and doesn't have issues, that suggests looking at your login items. Go to System Preferences (on your dock or on your hard drive in Applications), accounts, and on your account look at login items. Anything there that shouldn't be or isn't used? If you don't know, create a new account for yourself with no login items, and see if you still have the issue.
Next, I would run OnyX, which is a free disk maintenance program. You can download it from http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php . Do the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. Before using any disk maintenance software, you should have a system backup. I periodically run it, and others have found that it can help with performance.
You might look at how you're system is using memory. You should have enough but it's easy to check. Bring up the Activity Monitor (on your hard drive in Applications/Utilities), and look at the system memory tab. Note page ins and page outs. If page outs are 10% to 15% more than page ins, you can use more memory for the programs you run. A page out occurs when memory is full and OS X has to write a section of memory to the hard drive. Too much of this can really impact performance. The optimal situation is for page outs to be zero. Note these values reset on a system boot. -
Hi, I have just set up iTunes in my new computer and have 'synced' my iphone, however, my apps have not synced, I keep getting a message saying that this computer is not authorised to sync the apps even though I have authorised it. I don't know if the issue is the fact that I had to set up a new apple ID? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

Following an upgrade of my OS from XP to Vista, I tried to point the new installation at my old profile. Now when I try to start FF, I get a message saying that it is already running and I should reboot to clear the problem. I've done that but the problem remains. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled v4 beta. The problem remains. Any ideas?
OK, I had moved the profile file inside the profile folder which was created when I installed FF, to the main FF folder. I then took the equivalent file which existed under XP before my upgrade to vista, and moved it into the new Profile folder. That's when I hit the problem described in the initial question.
So, what I did following Tony's response was to move the bookmarks password and cookies files into the profile created on the install. I then moved that file into the profile folder and moved the one I'd saved from XP, out to the main FF folder.
Started FF and voila! All working fine. Thanks for your help.
