I'm trying to update Firefox on my Macbook Pro, and it says I don't have sufficient priviledges, and I don't know how to fix that!

MBP = MacBookPro
Are there other accounts? Is it possible Firefox was installed on one of them?
Have you run Repair Permissions?

If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

That's because the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps that came preinstalled on the Mac all belong to the previous owner. The previous owner needs to call Apple care and have their Apple ID disassociated from the Mac. Then the hard drive needs to be totally erased and OS X and the iLife apps reinstalled using OS X Recovery.

Ok. Do you remember what you were updating? Like Itunes or a security update. And did you let it complete and install? To install the update, it usually asks for your password and sometime asks you to restart. Here are some options to try. http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203176

Gget error message while trying to update to Maverick on macbook pro

while trying to update to OSXMavericks on macbook pro I get an error has occurred message

You're welcome.
I usually install app updates with iTunes on my computer followed by syncing my iPhone to install the downloaded updates on my iPhone. When syncing your iPhone with iTunes the first time after downloading app updates with your iPhone, the updates are transferred to your iTunes library on your computer. Less of a chance for a potential problem when doing so with iTunes on your computer.

BONJOUR: I can't update itunes because it says i don't have "sufficient priviledges". When i go into properties, it's disabled. I can't set ti to automatic because it say scheduled for deletion. HELP

Thanks alot

Anyway, it updated just fine
Thanks again

Given that you are very low in memory on your iPhone, it would be much easier to connect your phone to your computer and download iOS 8.1 via iTunes. Memory won't be an issue this way.

Keynote: need to install keynote in my MacBook Pro; the AppStore says I need to have OS X 10.7.4 but it also replies that my OS X 10.6.8. is already updated. What can I do?

You need to either upgrade your OS or buy install an iWork 09 DVD. If you're using a Core 2 Duo or better Mac with at least 2GB of RAM, it's cheaper to buy 10.7 or 10.8 unless you'll also need to upgrade any other software such as Microsoft Office 2004; neither OS supports PowerPC applications. If you're using a Core Duo Mac, you must buy the iWork 09 DVD.

I've downloaded Firefox 3.6 in order to upgrade to prevent online attacks as advised but when I try to drag teh new icon into the applications folder it says I do not have sufficient priviledges??

I've had an 'urgent' message telling me to upgrade Firefox to 3.6.6 in order to prevent online attacks but when I try to drag the newly downloaded icon into the applications folder a message comes up saying I do not have sufficient priviledges. Can you explain why and what I have to do?

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

According to:

Your MBP should be compatible, BUT it needs to be running Mountain Lion.

I can't download Firefox 4 because my Mac says I "dont' have sufficient priviledges", and I'm the Administrator!

Click applications... utilities... disk utilities. select your drive and click "check permissions" and let it run. when this is finished, click on "fix permissions" and let it run.
This should solve your problem.

Trying to update Firefox: download latest version, follow directions to install, when restart still have old version

Trying to update Firefox from 3.6.22 to 6.0.2
I download latest version, follow directions to install (move to app folder, drag to dock) but the old version in the dock is what opens.
So I removed old version from dock, put new version in, and restarted computer for good measure.
But when I restart still have old version...
How do I get the newest version of Firefox to be the one my computer uses?
Have tried to download and install several times over several months without success...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Tried to update the EFI on Macbook Pro 2011 & Crashed?

Hey all
So this is my new Macbook Pro 2011! FIrst apple producct ever!
I installed a bunch of updates to my mac before & they worked fine- without issue
but i recently tried to install the Macbook Pro 2.3 Firmware Update & the thunderbolt firmware update but something went horribly wrong
The mac was plugged into the wall and the magsafe charger was lit green- and the update downloaded & seemed to have installed- but on reboot i got a horrible single beep & the HDD went out...
Then after that it tried to reboot on its own 3 more times b/ci heard the fan- but it was without a display [just a black screen but no picture] & but the HDD kept getting cut off...
I held down the power button for 7 seconds & it finally booted normally after a prolonged apple logo screen
& now it seems to be working fine...
can you guys tell me what the heck just happened? My macbook crashed? :[ /?
btw system prefrences says the update is installed- but system update still says its avialable?? O_O

Hey Pennyboy24,
I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and I also just updated to the Macbook Pro 2.3 EFI Firmware Update. Mine updated fine but when the MBP restarted, it also made that single long single beep and it was slow to restart. Once it restarted, everything seemed to be normal but now my System Updates don't work. Everytime I click on System Updates, I get an error that says it crashed. Since your System Update says the EFI Firmware Update is still available and my System Update now crashes, I'm thinking the update messed up something with System Update. I've just spent weeks trying to get my OS X Lion working so this really ***** to have the EFI Firmware Update cause me another problem. Anyone with suggestions?

I'm trying to update Firefox on my Macbook Pro, and it says I don't have sufficient priviledges, and I don't know how to fix that!
