Insufficient Rights to Update Software

Trying to update Firefox this morning, but the installer says I don't have sufficient rights to update some of the items. I have tried using two different admin accounts on this powerbook, but still get the same message. What else is there?

Here's a way you could get around this since you're already using 3.6.
First, move the Application from the Applications Folder to the Trash, as well as the entire FF Folder in your ~/Application Support/Library (the library in your home folder) to the Trash. Don't empty it. Then, using another browser, perhaps Safari, since FF will now be disabled, download and install the 3.6.6.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/
This will be a brand new Firefox which will create a new FF App and Folder where the old ones were located. Next, move -- don't replace it, since that will remove it completely, and you may want it back if this doesn't work out --that new FF Folder to the Trash and move the old one back to Application Support. All your Preferences and Bookmarks should be there and work well with the new 3.6.6 App. If this doesn't work, it may be something corrupt in your Profiles Folder and you may need to use the new one. See below.
Make sure all is well and then trash the old App and the new FF Folder.
Of course, this doesn't answer the question why you can't proceed with the original upgrade. Could be an incompatible Add-on or theme.
See *Clean reinstall* from Mozilla (near the bottom) for another way of accomplishing this. Also you may have a corrupt Profile (located inside the FF Folder in App Support.) You can test this by creating a new Profile to see if that eliminates the issue. If it's being caused by an incompatible Add-on or Theme, those won't be in the new Profile. You can add them back one by one to see if that's what's causing this problem. (Or you can disable them first, try the upgrade, and see if it goes through. If it does, then add them back one by one to find the incompatible one. If it's not being caused by an incompatible Add-on, it'll be very tricky to find just what in the Profiles is giving you grief and you may have to keep the new Profile. +_One thing you can do is check the files in your Profiles Folder to see if any are "read-only."+_ Old Bookmarks will be the file places.sqlite and you can move those to the new Profile Folder.) This page also gives basic troubleshooting steps.

Re: Insufficient Rights Window for non-admins after 8.1.2 successful install
Here is the solution I found.
"Renaming %program files%/Common Files/Adobe/updater5 to something else removed the error."
This seems like a brute force approach, but it does work. I checked the event logs after doing this and don't see any errors in the App or System logs. This folder is the location of AdobeUpdater.exe and all of the Adobe .cer files, so it makes sense that this works, but seems like it should generate other errors...
This is not how I wanted to solve the problem but it did solve it.

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

Right, I'm going to try something, if this works, then this'll probably fix a lot of iTunes problems.
1: Make sure your whole iTunes database is backed up.
2: Uninstall iTunes, then run "Revo Uninstaller", this will remove ALL traces of iTunes from you computer, not your library.
I've found out that when un-installing or re-installing over a previous version of iTunes will carry over some problems from previous versions, or even create problems. Registry leftovers can be a problem also. Completely removing iTunes using "Revo Uninstaller" then re-installing will have the same effect as installing iTunes from a fresh OS install. Typically iTunes should be problem free when installed totally fresh.
3: Re-install the correct version of iTunes fresh and try again.

No sound after updating software on ipad 3

Hello all,
After being prompted to update Software earlier this evening (21st June 2013) we now have no audio on our ipad 3.
Despite watching a few YouTube vids and trying the obvious, still no luck.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Regards
Dan.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

Problem Ejecting iPod Photo since updating software

Can anyone help with my problem ?
Just updated iTunes to 5.0.0.35. All seemed ok until I needed to update software on iPod (colour screen, 60gb) to 1.2 so I can use the camera connector I bought when I go on holiday.
Now I'm having serious problems. I've had the pod for a few months and it's been great until now.
I've been adding album art to iTunes albums. Now the pod with it's new software connects to itunes much slower and I seem to have lost songs from the pod. "Do Not Disconnect" message is continuously on pods screen. It won't disconnect from tunes and when I try to disconnect from PC using the safely remove hardware tactic, I get a box saying "The Device 'Apple iPod USB Device' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later."
I've tried everything, from safely removing it to right clicking to eject. The iPod is still stuck on the DO NOT DISCONNECT screen. The only way was to disconnect it then restart the pod using menu/select buttons together. But when I connect it again to the PC, the same thing has happened. Again, I've tried all sorts, from rebooting the PC to changing some options in iTunes.
This all seems to be since I updated the software this morning (Sept 30). I've also tried resoring the iPod and starting all over again, but a soon as you connect it to the PC, it seems to freeze up with that same message on the screen. iPod Updater software said it "Couldn't Mount iPod connected".
Please put me out of my misery. Boo Hoo............

Cheers for that Mrsuknow,
Unfortunately I don't have an 'automatically disconnect' check box under my ipod tab, or anywhere else in preferences for that matter.
And the pod never finishes updating. It tries for a few minutes, then a message appears saying, Ipod couldn't be updated, file(s) not found. A load of exclamation marks appear next to certain songs in the iPod library. When I try to play any of them on the pod, they show as being there but won't play. They're still there on iTunes.
And I've tried restoring factory settings again on the pod, but updater says it can't mount the iPod again.
Boo.....

Acrobat pro 9 insufficient rights

I'm sure this is an easy one, but I'm unable to install this w/o admin rights.
If I create the object & point it to the MSI, everything runs wonderfully. BUT, I'm wanting to use Adobe's customization wizard to create an MST to do a full, patched install of Acrobat 9, thus, needs to point to the Setup.exe instead of the Acrord.msi. That is, I've edited the setup.ini to point the the patches, whereas w/ the MSI, it gets its settings from abcpy.ini, but I don't see how I can push patches through that INI file.
Setup.exe fails due to insufficient rights, both under normal & secure / unsecure system user.
Any workaround?
TIA

Thank God for MSIs which have standardized all Software Installs so you
know one and they are all the same :>>>>
(I'm sure that is how it works right? That's what all the propaganda
sheets say.)

HT4623 Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

The update process DOES back up contacts and photos, unless you interrupted the backup. The manual tells you to sync contacts to an app on your computer, and to import photos regularly to your computer. So Apple DID tell you to back up, you just didn't bother to read it.
If you didn't sync yet (and even if you did) connect the phone to your computer, right click on its name, and choose "Restore from Backup". If there's more than one backup choose the one with a timestamp before you updated.

I'm trying to sync my ipad over wifi, with my MAC, I have the updated software on my MAC, the ipad is up to dat 6.1.2. I can follow all of the steps, but I can't find a SUMMARY button on the toolbar, nor do I receive the option to sync. What am I doing wrong or what should I look for? Thank You

To sync your iPad over Wifi:
First ensure you're running iTunes 11.0.2. And you already have your iPad up to date, good.
Plug your iPad into the Mac via USB. Click your iPad in the top toolbar (under the search bar). Click the Summary tab if it isn't already selected. Check the box to "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi" (you may have to scroll down to see it). And now click the Apply button at the bottom right.
You should be able to unplug your iPad from the Mac and it should still remain in iTunes. (If not, try Quitting and relaunching iTunes and waiting, restarting iPad, etc).
To initiate a sync over Wifi, click your iPad in the toolbar in iTunes then click Sync. Or on your iPad, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wifi Sync and tap "Sync Now."
If this didn't solve your problem, please let me know with a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing so I can try to help you get up and syncing wirelessly!

Apple update software for windows 7 X64 ultimate

so apple support update pops up and says "HEY! YOU HAVE UPDATES!" for quicktime and itunes.. problem is when i tell it to update the window just flickers.. it will not update, nor will it let me manually update quicktime.. i previously fixed itunes as it also had an issue letting me manually add/remove itunes.. i barely got that fixed.. but i can now manually update itunes.. however i need help locating all the files for apple support update software so that i can re-install it, and perhaps the same information for quicktime, as again i cannot manually install or remove quicktime period right now..
nothing shows up in ccleaner, pc clean up or even when i run sfc /scannow in cmd..
i'm so tired of dealing with these problems.. some help would be awesome.. thank you.

okay so after a lonnng day.. this is where i remain stuck: my apple software update says i need too update too 11.1.3 and i already have it installed.. if i tell it too install it'll go through the downloading and installing too just end up back too the same screen telling me there is a new update out.. what file is the updater not seing? augh.. and why do these forums not have a delete option?

If i unplug my iphone while its "updating software" will it restore the old software? or is this a bad idea?

if i unplug my iphone while its "updating software" will it restore the old software? or is this a bad idea?

It's a bad idea. It *ought* to recover OK, but there are too many cases where it hasn't to be safe assuming that it will.
If, as Changren Yong says, you have a good backup, you always have the safety net of a restore, but it's a silly thing to do,
My advice when doing software updates is to download separately then update (you're always offered an option to download only). You can do what you like during the download, which is always the ling part of the process for me. The update usually (for me) only takes about 5 minutes.
One further point - in case you didn't know, you can initiate a backup by right-clicking the phone in iTunes and choosing Backup from the drop-down. That should always be part of your update process

I am trying to obtain updated software for an Epson CX5400 A-I-O

Hi all, could someone please show me how I can get hold of updated software for an Epson CX5400 A-I-O print, scan, copier. I have been advised by the site to click on 'Software Updates' but there doesn't seem to be anything available, unless I'm missing something.
I appreciate that the machine is approaching 10 years old, but am hopeful of a solution.
I would gratefully accept any idiot-proof solutions to this problem.

Hi Den, Right, I've taken 2 screen shots to better illustrate what my problem is with getting to add the Epson printer to my printer list. Let's see if this works:
Hopefully, the above screen shots better illustrate what my system is throwing up. Any help that anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.
