  • Software Update says You Do Not Have Permission

    I have seen other posts where someone was able to look at a Install.log from the Console app and was hoping for the same. I can update this post with my install log details if needed and black out personal info.
    When I run software update, no matter which app, they all fail because I do not have rights. Only user on Mac and have no pswd set today as admin. Never had a permission issue until a few months ago and can't figure out.
    Please help

    You cannot install software via an installer if you don't have a password.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu. Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow instructions in the dialog window that will appear.

  • Error message after checking for updates says I do not have permission to install and to contact administrator. I am the only user/owner of this computer so I AM the administrator. How do I install the update? I am using a MacBook Pro.

    MAC OS X 10.6.8. I can download and install a new version, but I'd rather just update. I can only assume this has to do with computer settings but I could not find anything settings that seemed related to this issue.
    I currently have Firefox 3.6.3. I don't use it all that often.

    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.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Says I do not have permission to update to 4.0 for Mac OS - even though it's my computer and I'm the admin.

    I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7 on a new macbook pro. Trying to update to Firefox 4.0 but when I attempt to drag the update into my Apps folder, it says I do not have permission to update - even though it's my computer and I'm the admin. I've restarted the computer and reattempted, but it still did not work.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or if you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

  • My iPhone 4 has been saying You do not have permission to access the requested resource whenever I try to watch one of the episodes I bought from iTunes. It will not let me watch them and I don't know why.

    A few days ago I bought a season of the series Psych off of iTunes. I was able to watch the first bunch without a problem but now all of a sudden when I try to watch one it says "You do not have permission to access the requested resource". I tried restarting my phone but that do not help. I cleared up a lot of space on my phone as well. I have and iPhone 4 with the update of iOS 6.1.3.

    Are you using the same Apple ID that the purchase was linked to?  I had this issue with a shared device, and the other person had logged out of my ID and logged in with hers.
    If it's the same ID, then try redownloading the purchase.

  • Hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files'

    hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed and restored. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files' After my new drive was installed I plugged in time machine and it started backing up. I paused it when I realised that it was running for more than a few minutes. I now realise that it probably started backing up the new hard drive all over again. Which makes me think that the original back up must be on the WD back I cant seem to access it. Any ideas would be helpful.

    When I try to play a video on my iPad that I purchased from iTunes, I keep getting a message saying I do not have permission to access the requested resource...why?

    I experinced this when I tried to watch a YouTube video. What I did was restart the iPad and it should work. If it does not work, try doing hard reset, by holding the home and wake/sleep button, ignore the red slider, until the apple logo appears.

    My iPad says I do not have permission to view movies I purchased!

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Sign out of iTunes.
    Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.
    Sign back in and try it again.
