Insufficient permissions to use backup

Hi, I recently downloaded a new version (5.3) of the FTP programme Fetch, which has worked well for me for years. The new version is a disaster, and continually generates distracting error messages. Today I tried to use Backup to restore the old version. When I do so, it first requests my Administrator password, which I duly provide. I then get the message that I have insufficient privileges to do this operation. I have checked the privileges on this folder, and I have read and write privileges. What do I do now? Any help appreciated! Hugh Rowell
Sorry, I meant to say Time Machine, not Backup. Message was edited by: Hugh Rowell

Hello Hugh:
I know nothing about the program you downloaded.
However, if you do a complete restore from a TM backup that immediately preceded the download, you should be fine. I ran a full TM backup of my system (as a test) and it restored perfectly.

Insufficient perms/long filename errors

I formatted a WD external HDD to have an HFS+(for backup using SuperDuper) and 2 FAT partitions. I had been using the hard drive without any errors, and did a reformat of OS X recently. Then, I wiped the three partitions on external HDD. When trying to copy files that I downloaded a day or two ago (after OS X reformat), from OS X's downloads folder to the HFS partition, it shows an error that some files have long filenames and cannot be copied. Some other files show error of insufficient permission.
Can it be fixed?

I was trying to copy files downloaded to my Macbook HD to an non-journaled HFS+ partition and it worked. However, when I tried to copy the same files from the external HDD to a different folder on Macbook HD, it shows an error about insufficient permissions.
For the partition in external drive, I've checked "ignore permissions" and my username shows up under the list of owners. I also did a repair/repair permissions from Disk utility in the OS X install DVD. The DVD and Macbook contains the same OS X version (10.5.5), so I don't think an out-of-date Disk Utility messed up things.
I'd run the external HDD and Macbook with 10.5.5, without any problems before reinstalling OS X and problems cropped up.

Insufficient permissions for system restart

Hi All,
We are receiving the following error when attempting to restart a domain controller, after MS updates have been installed, from within SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 software center.
"Insufficient permissions for System Restart"
"Restarting this computer is only allowed for users with administrative permissions, or your IT department does not allow you to restart this computer"
The user on the domain controller can restart the server using a normal windows shutdown procedure outside of the software center, as they are in the Active Directory domain "backup operators" group.
The domain controller is running server 2008 R2 SP1. The SCCM 2012 infrastructure is running R2 CU1 with the latest client installed on the domain controller.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards PowerShell90

Hi Garth,
Thanks for the quick reply
Domain administrators can install the updates and reboot within software centre without a problem. No restrictions have been put in place for the domain controllers or backup operators. We allow the Microsoft default option to allow members of
the domain "Backup Operators" to shut down domain controllers. They are able to do this on the DC, but they get an error when trying to complete this through SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 software centre. I can't understand why?

I recently purchased an external hard drive to back up my iMovies. When I try to open the movies on the backup I get a message "you may not have permission to modify that folder" How do I change permissions on the backup?

Hi
One Must NEVER move or alter any folders named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Projects - or - alike
on DESKTOP/FINDER - Ever ! - ONLY Within the iMovie Program ! else all connections are broken and hard to impossibly to mend !
but rather do as described here under
Moving Event's and Project's
Connection - Either connect one Mac in Target mode to the other via FireWire. Or use an external hard disk !
(Target-Mode - Start one Mac e.g. laptop - BUT keep T-key down during full up-start - Now a FW-symbol is jumping around the screen and it will work as an external hard disk when connected to the other Mac)
A. The External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work for Video. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things but not for Video whatever program is used (iMovie or FinalCut)
B. Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up
C. Do never Move or Alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - as this will result in iMovie losing connections to them and repair can be anything from hard to impossibly
D. Moving and Copying must be done within iMovie application and Events to Events - and - Project's to Project's.
E. Moving Project's to Event's - Do not work for me - I have to export project as a QuickTime movie then Import this into Events.
Event's window can show two faces
Like this
or like this
from one hard disk Event - You can move it to the other hard disk
You can not (at least not me) move Event to Project or other way around only
Event to Event and Project to Project

Insufficient permissions for software installation

We are experiencing following error message when installing software from software center using SCCM 2012 SP1 “Insufficient Permissions for software installation”. only when users (without local
admin) are login. This error is only happening to small number of clients while other clients are installing with no issue.
I have found following KB and it is the same issue:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e2e68509-d6ee-4975-86b5-4894d2d6895f/software-center-permissions-error-sccm-2012?forum=configmanagerapps
Is it possible a GPO policy and if yes what will be the configuration information to verify.

Hi,
Are there two clients with this error in the same domain and with the same GPO applied?

What to do if it is telling me I have "Insufficient Permissions?"

Well I've been having several problems.
First is when I go to install it I get a screen saying that the file "C:\Windows\System\32\Macroomed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll:5" could not be written due to insufficient permissions. I have no idea how to fix this or change it.
Here's a picture of the message that pops up:
And whenever I try to click the troubleshooting for it, it wont take me anywhere. The link is basically useless. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player. But nothing seems to work.
Next is whenever I try to go install the plugins (for mozilla firefox) I get messages saying that the file cannot be downloaded. Or there is an error or something, but overall it basically says that the plugin cannot be installed.
I hope someone can help me. Any advice would be insanely helpful.

Hi, ok that's out of the way. When you had a problem trying to Install Flash Player in FF, I'm not sure what that Insuffieient Permissions message was referring to. If you are the Administrator, which you must be or you wouldn't have been able to Install in IE, then it may have been about not using the DLM.
The first thing you want to make sure is that the Security for the Internet Zone is set to Medium. And now that it is appearing that Firefox is getting restrictive about permissions, etc. as ActiveX is under IE, we need to make sure that no Anti-Virus will be blocking it. If your AV didn't block IE, then we are ok on that.
Download the Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Once that is done, Close All browsers. RUN the Installer and when it is finished, Reboot Once.
Then check your Flash files folder and post back the files now listed. Then check the plug-ins for that SWF and make sure it is Enabled.
Hopefully this will be successful. If you get any messages during this Install, make a note and let me know.
Thanks,

Message (on one account) when logging in: The user account running the Configuration Manager console has insufficient permissions to read information from the Configuration Manager site database.

After installing the reportservice/database i cannot use the Configuration Manager Console 2012 anymore with my own AD account. (The accounts of my colleagues are stil working)
When i login i get the following message:
The user account running the Configuration Manager console has insufficient permissions to read information from the Configuration Manager site database. The account must belong to a security role in Configuration Manager. The account must also have

I checked the following:
I am a administrative user in SCCM (Full Administrator)
I am a member of the administrator group on the server
Deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10
I tried to start it on multiple workstations and deleted my roaming profile
Any more suggestions?

Insufficient permissions to create node on Note component

Hi team,
I am creating a simple chat app in LCCS. Our guest have role of 50 and we are using knocking feature. I have added all the components and they work fine for both the guest and host except for notes component. When we have notes component in the code when the guests comes in (before the acceptance in the queue) , we get following exception. We can just dismiss the exception and everything works fine. Why are we getting the exception?. Here is the stack trace,

I would try to login as owner (100) first then try to login again as a user (50).
Other than that take a look at the room console and see if the Access Model or Publisher Model is too high.

How about some information, i.e. operating system & version, browser & version, Flash Player version, and what you are doing when you get that error message?

Why do I get the message "Insufficient Permissions" when trying to download updated iTunes software

Why do I get "Insufficient Permissions" message?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Firefox won't download - insufficient permissions

I can download the latest Firefox installer. When I go to drag the new Firefox icon into the Applications folder, it says that I have insufficient permissions... yet I am on my computer's Admin profile, so it doesn't make any sense.
Help?
TF

Hi TF, and a warm welcome to the forums!
In the Finder, do a Get Info on the Applications folder, what 3 Rights & privileges does it say at the bottom?
You can drag it to your Desktop in the meantime to use it if need be.

Z30 Camera hardware Error or Insufficient Permissions

Since the Verizon update to 10.2.1.2126 I cannot use my camera and receive the message " camera can't be started due to hardware error or insufficient permissions". I have attempted restarts and pulled the sim to reload the OS directly from Blackberry but still the same error. I finally gave up and contacted Verizon but the replacement they sent was a refurb unit and there was no power left at all on the unit. I charged it and when it started it immediately went into a screen that in engish asked if I wanted to enable blackberry reader assistance but the selections for i guess yes or no were in what looked like russian. I would press the right selection which was i believe no and the next screen to come up you needed to select the language. I would press english, the speaker output would say english but no touch screen box would show up. I restarted the z30 3 more times before i finally pressed the left selection which i assume was accept then i could select english, touch screen would work and it went thru the startup progress getting to the point to download a updated os which i did. It took about 20 minutes to download the update on wifi and about 1 hour to install it. After installation it asked to restart which i selected yes and after 2 minutes the screen was blank and the green led was solid. I left it this way until i woke up this morning and held down the power button to restart. The restart took 30 minutes and it now shows 10.2.1.2126
The problem is I don t trust this refurb and I would like to get the camera working on my z30 that is only 3 months out of the box. Any suggestions?

Watching for Possible Solutions-I am having the same issue and I have done a security wipe and reset twice to try and fix this with no success.

Is it possible to use backup files previously copied to an external hard drive to backup an iPhone?

My sister froze her iPhone by trying to turn it off during a software update (not sure why) and restored it because she thought it would fix it. Unfortunately she unintentionally deleted all of her data and settings. She doesn't use iCloud, so I'm assuming all her files are backed up to her computer when she syncs her iPhone, but using iTunes I can only find two backup points using Edit>Preferences>Devices, both in the past few minutes. I know that each sync overrides the last backup files instead of creating newer ones, so apparently older backup files from her computer can't be used to recover her data. However, we both periodically use an external hard drive to back up our computers by basically dragging and dropping our files onto it, so there is an earlier version of her User folder on the external hard drive. It would definitely be preferable to use the backup files from a few months ago that are on the external hard drive and lose a few photos than to lose years of data, so would it be possible to direct iTunes to those backup files (AppData etc) instead of the ones saved on her computer hard drive? There's not any kind of browse option I can see that could allow me to get iTunes to search for backup files on the external hard drive and I'm not computer savvy enough to manually find the files and connect them to iTunes. Is it even possible to use backup files from an external hard drive? Do I have to replace the ones that exist on her computer now?

Garageband can't use VST plugins.
If you're talking about AUs: you could try to put an alias into the HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components folder instead of the actual files, and see if GB loads them.

I am trying to restore files created using Backup in Tiger. How do I do this on a Snow Leopard machine which is connected to the Tiger external drive?

I have an external disk that was used on Tiger iMac. I used Backup to save files. Now that I have this external drive connected to a new IMac running SnowLeopard, how do I restore files?

Backup 3.2 is still usable if you have a MM account and can download the upgrade. Otherwise you'll need to restore them via Tiger.
If the backup is not archived, then the individual files may be accessible directly.
