Problems with Safari update: can you help please?

Hi, the Software Updater recommended to update to Safari 4.0.3
After I download it and clicked on Install, I got the following message:
"The update “Safari” can’t be saved. You do not have appropriate access privileges. "
After running the "Repair Disk Permissions" procedure of the Disk Utility (as suggested in a previous post) which found and repaired quite a number of permissions I tried to re-run the Safari update, but am getting exactly the same message as before.
Since I am the administrator and the only user of this Mac, (running OS X 10.5) I am puzzled, especially since all other updates download and install without any problem. Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Veit

Thanks, Sig, for the quick response. I am presently downloading Safari 4 as you advised. Will install and report back.
But would you know why the AUTOMATIC update did not work, i.e. resulted in these "you have no access privileges" message?

    Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
    Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

  • Is everybody having problems with Canoscan drivers-can anyone help, please?

    After starting with Leopard, my LIDE25 refuses to work, and the window from the toolbox tells me a driver cannot be found, even after redownloading the driver, which, according to the Canon website, is perfectly compatible with the LIDE25 driver. Someone is not being honest, or Apple has made a huge mistake in the bug department. My smart mailboxes don't work either.Can anyone help? I see there are others with Canon scanner driver problems on this forum - what can we do? I'm so tired of fragile scanners breaking down and needing replacement - they are like VCRs in this respect, somehow a crap technology - but this time it's surely not the scanner to blame.

    I have a Conoscan 8400F scanner, and after downloading the latest driver it actually works BETTER than it ever has... used to take almost 3 minutes to scan a 8.5 X 11 page, now less than a minute.

  • Problems with iphone 5.Can you help?..since apple wont.

    Ok. My mum bought this brand new iphone 5 from a chainstore here in Norway. It has never worked properly. Each night it totally hangs up and is unusable.
    The screen gets matrix like and there is a text saying "Panic.we are hanging in here". I have lots of apple products. And i have searched around a bit. I have figured out that this often happens with jailbreaked phones. Well this phone is not. And the store waits for apple to respond. I've tried to call apple and they will not offer any help since the phone is bought in a chainstore and not directly from then. In the meantime my mum has a phone that is unusable and worth 900$.
    It kinda ****** me off also that apple does not give any support. I have bought quite an amount of apple products trough the years,and when we finally convinced my mother to switch to apple they give this ****** service. I am not impressed.
    -But since they do not answer,maybe anyone of you can help me? I have tried the two options of reseting and also hit the round/top buttons all together.
    So...anyone?

    Hey there.
    I have reset it as suggested with itunes yester day. And it did not work.. i told her to take a pic of the phone screen when it locks.
    Any suggestions now? I think she will deliver it back to Spaceworld if there aren´t any other suggestions..
    Anyhow to you that suggested this is not a real problem.
    if you buy a phone to many hundreds of dollars..each night it locks itself and that screen above pops up. You cannot use the phone at all it before the screen dissapears. Also you carrier told you you switch off every internet options on the phone,because they cannot figure out what is wrong. So you cannot mms,or use mail or any internet option..Also you cannot ring with the phone nor text when it locks itself..
    If you do NOT call that a problem. I think YOU got a problem.
    My iphone sometimes doesn´t ring when i put my alarm on. THAT ****** me off. And that is a minor thing.
    To others that would care to help me...thanks really really a lot!!

  • I cannot get .arw or jpeg files from my Sony A6000 to be taken into my Lightroom 4.4 via the normal "synchronise" process.  I have updated my Pc to Adobe RAW/DNG 8.4 with no improvement.  Can you help please?

    I cannot get .arw or jpeg files from my Sony A6000 to be taken into my Lightroom 4.4 via the normal "synchronise" process.  I have updated my Pc to Adobe RAW/DNG 8.4 with no improvement.  Can you help please?

    With regards to your .arw files:
    You need to either purchase and install Lightroom 5.4 -- OR -- download and install and use the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 8.4, did you actually launch and use the DNG Converter?
    There should be no problem importing JPG files into Lightroom from your camera, what happens when you try? Is there an error message?

    . I have version 10.6.8 at the moment... how do I update this?
    As Terence Devlin said, the upgrade to Mavericks is free at the AppStore. Open the first tab at the AppStore (Featured)  and you can buy it for free, if your Mac can be upgraded to Mavericks.
    But before you do that, check the applications you need to use for compatibility with Mavericks, for example at Roaring Apps:  http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a
    PowerPC applications can no longer run on Mavericks, some device drivers may not be available as Mavericks compatible versions.
    To prepare for the update take these precautions:
    Make a full backup of your mac, including the applications libraries. In addition to the TimeMachine backup a bootable clone is very useful, since it enables you to revert easily to the old system.
    Update all applications to there latest version, thatare available on Snowleopard.
    If you find, that the Mavericks upgrade would make too many applications redundant, consider Terence Devlin's second option to buy the boxed iLife version.

  • I have just changed to Firefox from IE. When i pull up my home page which is the BBC.co.uk I have always to reset my local region as it always defaults to London. I didn't have this problem with IE. Can you please supply a solution, thank you

    I fixed it!!! Following advice from similar posts, I searched the hard drive for "sessionrestore.js" in my Firefox Profiles folder (you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files in Windows Explorer (Tools > Folder Options > View (then select Hidden files option) then Apply to all folders) to do this). I then shut down Firefox, deleted the file and restarted - my home page was correct and it didn't try to open my old session! Some other posts suggested deleting everything called "sessionrestore" in that folder, but I didn't need to.

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.  See if that clears the glitch.

    I believe there is no  "Export to Tape"  feature as appeared in legacy FCP.
    SORRY! Just noticed you are using FCP 6.
    You need to ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum.
