Newly downloaded version icon won't drag into Applications folder because I "don't have sufficient privileges" - what does that mean & how do I fix it?!
I opened a new window in Firefox, which was still open from last night. I saw the notice:
URGENT!
Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks.
Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free!
So, I clicked on the download which ran fine. At step 3, drag the Firefox icon to the Applications icon, a pop up said I didn't have sufficient privileges to do that.
What does this mean and how do I fix it?! Thank you,
Allison
You're welcome

Firefox icon won't drag into applications folder
After I drag the icon, "something" seems to be happening, then it bounces back to the left and says 0 MB available.
I've updated Firefox many times, and this is the first time I've even gotten the prompt to drag the icon! I'm still using an old version.Which version of Mac OS X do you have?<br />
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

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 5.0.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

I just bought an iMac, while setting it up I was prompted to update the OS software. I tried to update it. It won't complete the update, and says "Error- requested timed out. (102) what does that mean? how do I fix it?
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

What do i have to do to get sufficent privileges?
Why does the title says "I get an error message when downloading Itunes" when you clearly do not? The issue has nothing to do with downloading but rather installing of iTunes which is a seperate step.
Maybe if a search is performed for the real issue then a resolution will be found. -
I have Production Premium CS6, I got the serial number and started downloading all the components until it stopped and said that it wasn't a Adobe Genuine Software. I don't know why this happened. I downloaded all of the things from my downloads page on Adobe and can't think of anything that would keep me from downloading the rest.
Things that are downloaded:
Audition, Bridge, Encore, ExtendScript, Extension Manager, Illustrator, Media Encore, Prelude, Speedgrade
Things I really wanted out of the whole bundle like Premire, Photoshop, and After Effects can't be downloaded.Warning: "Adobe Genuine Software Validation Failure..." | Windows

I can't seem to complete downloading the new version of Firefox. I got to the point where it said to drag the icon to the folder, but then I got the message that I don't have sufficient privileges to do that. What does that mean and how can I complete the download?
Thank you.You can ignore that.<br />
That is referring to the time stamp of the Firefox 6 file that is older than the time stamp of the Firefox 3.6.x release. -

I just downloaded I Tunes to my new computer. I had I Tunes on old computer. When I clicked on the icon on desktop I received the following pop-up.
the file "I tunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was created by a new version of i tunes. What does that mean?See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

i was trying to add music onto my new ipod, and my itunes said it needs version 10.6.3. i then downloaded it, then it said it requires mac os x version 10.6.8. what does that mean?
If it's a fourth generation or earlier model, you need to download iTunes 10.6.3; the newer versions won't run on 10.5.8.
If it's a fifth generation iPod touch, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, which requires an Intel Mac, and then run Software Update. This also works with earlier iPods but isn't the best solution.

I have recently dropped Earthink as me dial-up provider. I now am using Virgin Mobile Broadband2GO. I was using Safari. I am now using Yahoo! Mail Plus. It suggested I switch to Firefox. I had an older version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and started using it. It suggested I needed to upgrade because many of the newer web sites wouldn't work well on this older version. I downloaded the newer version and proceeded with the installation and it would tell me this: '''The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.''' I have re-downloaded and tried it again two more times. I haven't a clue what that means or what to do about it.
