On windows 7 I receive this error while installing error: "You do not have sufficient privileges to

error: "You do not have sufficient privileges to perform the requested action."
The resolution on the other thread did not work for me. What could be wrong? I have installed Adobe Flash Media Live before without an issue but after I reformatted my PC I keep receiving this. Thanks in advance.

I've solved it,
Change the permissions on the file (sudo chmod 755 httpd.conf)
then
sudo nano httpd.conf
and it works fine
thanks alot for your help

I have an older mac running 10.4.11. When I try to update to firefox 3.6.28 I get an error message: "...you do not have sufficient privileges..."

Currently running firefox 3.0.4. I downloaded 3.6.28 successfully. When I tried to install it by sliding the firefox icon over onto the applications icon I got a message saying an item named firefox already exists and do I want to replace it with the newer one I am moving. I clicked "replace." Then I get a message saying that the operation cannot be completed because I do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items. How can I complete this install?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

ERROR: You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation

When attempting to install iTunes 9.0.1, I receive this message just after the installation begins: You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users on this machine. Log on as an administrator and then retry this installation."
I am the administrator of this machine. I have tried installing in a different directory of the all users folder, however that failed with the same reason. This PC has had some anomalies of late so this may not be iTunes, but I'm without clues as to where to go to fix this.
Thanks for any clever ideas you may have. I miss the music.

Hi,
You could use Software Restriction Policies (SRP’s) or Applocker(supported on Windows server 2008 R2/Windows 7 only) to restrict the running
of the application for specific user.

I am getting an error when trying to download the new Game of Thrones shows. The error is err = -61 You do not have the privilege to make changes. (err = -61) you do not have the privilege to make changes. I have not had this problem before

Solution:
Open Disk Utility.
Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation

Hi all
Have seen a couple threads regarding this but unfortunately nothing that solves my problem thus far!
Right now, our developers are using the Domain Admin account to promote their website code using MSI files. I'd like to change this as I feel the Domain Admin account should be on lock down and only used when absolutely necessary, pretty common. The
same goes for my account too, I would like to absolve as much use of the Domain Admin as I can.
Problem is, when they run installers from their own accounts, they receive this error: You do not have sufficient privileges
to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation
The accounts they are using are part of the Built In Administrators group and the Domain Admins group... I'm not sure what other permission you'd need in a domain? We've gone as far as explicitly giving them local admin access on this server and still
nothing changes.
Is there a Group Policy or something that I can change to provide install rights and possibly remove these accounts as Domain Admin and more along the line of Power User?
Thanks much for your help!

You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.
You can also do this:
* 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.

When I try to upgrade to the newer version of Firefox, this is the message I get (I am using OS 10.4.11): The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.

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.

Installing/Upgrade Apps - You do not have sufficient privileges

I migrated from a Powerbook to a Macbook Pro about a month ago and have attempted to upgrade some apps since (OmniGraffle Pro, etc.). Every time I attempt this operation, I get the following message:
The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
I am the admin and I have changed my App folder, Library, etc. so that the Owner is my shortname. And they are all read-write. The only folder (and it's enclosed items) that I couldn't change was the System folder.
I can change the System folder so that the Owner = shortname. But I cannot Apply to Enclosed Items. I get the same message:
The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
Any ideas before I go to the Genius Bar?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sounds like part of the problem is the Applications folder ownership. That should be different. Go to Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility, and have it repair permissions.
That should fix it so you can install software again.
Individual applications you can't upgrade should be reinstalled from their original source disk/download off the internet first, because they are probably PowerPC versions that aren't easily migrated to Intel. See my user tip I made with Kappy about migrating from PowerPC to Intel. Using the migration assistant going from one to the other doesn't always work right. The tip is here:

Same problem here...nothing in my settings have changed since the upgrade and I've checked my cookie settings and they allow 3rd party cookies. What's up Mozilla? I've been faithful to you for years and you let me down now?

TS1363 When I try to sync my ipad I am now getting an error message saying "You do not have sufficient privileges for this operation". Been happening since I upgraded to the latest IOS on the Ipad and latest itunes. How can I resolve this?

What can I do to resolve this annoying problem?

I finally backed up the iPad to the laptop and deleted everything on the iPad and restored from back up. That cured the problem.

I have downloaded an update to Firefox, but when I try to load it I get this message, "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items" and I have no idea what it is talking about or how to change it.

The previous version of Firefox is still on and operational. I get this message when I try to drag the Firefox icon to the application file icon. Since this is my computer, and I am the administrator, I don't know what privileges I lack, or on which items. If there is a way to correct this I would like to do so and activate the new version. It looks like the new version is 7.0.1 for Mac OS. This happens everytime I try to load the new version by dragging the icon.

If there are 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.

Installed update of Firefox, but cannot drag into applications folder, it indicates that "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges", so how can I complete the install?

I try to drag the app into the applications folder where an old app of firefox exists and it asks me if I want to replace it and after i say yes it gives me the operation cannot be completed message.
