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.
Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • You do not have permission to view the System Landscape Directory.

    Hello there,
    When I accessed my SLD from portal, it took me to the page but kept saying:
    - You do not have permission to view the System Landscape Directory. Minimum required: UME role with permission com.sap.lcr.LcrUser and J2EE role LcrUser. See the SLD Post-Installation Guide for details
    - SLD not configured; configure the SLD in Administration first.
    I searched on these forums for the above error. Got some results, but nothing really substantial that has helped/fixed my problem.
    I also read a bit on SLD from the pdf file named: System Landscape
    Directory of SAP NetWeaver 2004s
    I also worked on the security roles and actions to individual
    users or user groups like for ex: the above pdf file advised I map the security roles from Visual Administrator, to the created roles in the portal. I've done that too. Like create a user group: 'SAP_SLD_ADMINISTRATOR'  and create a user role corresponding to it, which would be: 'LcrAdministrator'
    Then, I went to visual administrator, and clicked on 'Assign User Groups to Roles'
    Even after this, I tried to access the SLD from portal: It is still giving me the same error I mentioned above in bold italics.
    Can somebody please help me how to fix this issue?
    Thanks
    Dino.

    Graham:
    Thank you very much for making the effort to reply to my query.
    But, it still hasnt solved my problem yet.. for some reason even though I followed your instructions and did what you advised. 
    I have attached a screenshot of my Visual Administrator screen that you advised me to modify/change.
    Here it is: http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/2259/screenshot002co1.jpg
    After I made the changes, I restarted the J2EE server and went to my portal SLD page: [http://org-x:50000/sld]
    Tried authenticating usernames: LcrAdministrator and Administrator.
    Both attempts resulted in the same error show below:
    - You do not have permission to view the System Landscape Directory. Minimum required: UME role with permission com.sap.lcr.LcrUser and J2EE role LcrUser. See the SLD Post-Installation Guide for details
    - SLD not configured; configure the SLD in Administration first.
    I am wondering, if you would have another workaround regarding this issue, can you please let me know?
    Thanks
    Dino.

    Only developer's have access to iOS 6 now. Thus, if you are a developer you have have access to the developer's forum for iOS 6.
    Otherwise you have a bootleg copy and are on yur own./

    Hi Guys,
    I have the sam problem just upgrading to iOs6.0.1. iTunes returns the following error:
    Ive tried updating via my device (New iPad) and same problem.
    I started downloading the update last week but stopped it for reasons I cannot remember. Now it seems that Ive clogged my system.
    My iTunes is up to date. I have however not run any Quicktime or iCloud updates cause i do not use the software. Will it make a difference.
    Also my Windows updates might be a bit outdated, say about a month or so.
    Please help, very frustrating!
    Also sorry but while Im here I have another question. A while ago the brightness level of my iPad adjusted by itself (not Auto Adjust). Its like it dimmed via Auto Adjust and did not "un-dim" and now Im forced to run brightness at 100% and consequently is hard on battery life. Any ideas?

  • How can I stop pop-ups saying "There is a problem logging on to server...You do not have permission..."., How can I stop pop-ups saying "There is a problem logging on to server...You do not have permission...".

    I have a Mac Mini (early 2009) running OSX 10.8.1 on a Windows network that is driving me nuts.
    Background
    Typically, 6 or 7 computers are running (Windows 7, OSX 10.8.1 and Linux) on the network at any given point in time.   Network printers and hand helds (iphones, PlayBooks, etc.) are also connected.
    The problem
    If one specific Windows 7 desktop is running, a pop-up error message comes up frequently.  The eror message is: 
    There was a problem connecting to the server "[Server name or IP]".    You do not have permission to access this server.
    The pop-up sometimes refers to the device name and sometimes refers to the IP address of the desktop.
    Oddities:
    This does not occur on a MacBook Pro also running 10.8.1
    The error message does not occur for other Windows computers on the network.  I have laptops running Windows 7 Professional that have never shown up on the error message..
    Files on the problem desktop are easily accessible through [Finder].
    Things I've tried to resolve the problem:
    Ran software update - multiple times
    Changed the destination drive for [Time Machine] and completed a backup
    Cleared the "Recent Server" list from the [Finder][Go][Connect to Server] screen
    Attempted to demount the desktop in [Finder].  The option was not available
    Disconnected from the desktop in [Finder].  This did not resolve the problem and the desktop was automatically showing on the [Shared] list in [Finder] after the next reboot.
    Booted in SAFE mode to see if the problem re-occurred in SAFE mode.  It did not.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

    Thank you.  It wasn't in there directly, but CISCO's "Network Magic" was there.  Removing it appears to have solved the problem.
    Thanks again and have a good weekend.
    Bob

  • 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.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Trying to upload some photos to an e-mail an I get a message that says "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it."  To where do I navigate to unlock this so I can have access to my photo library?

    Trying to upload some photos to an e-mail an I get a message that says "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it."  To where do I navigate to unlock this so I can have access to my photo library?

    Couple of things to try:
    Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
    If that fails:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

  • ITunes Get Artwork:  "Artwork for [album name] cannot be found.  You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

    I just installed iTunes 10.5 (latest version as of 11 Jan 2012), onto a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  I loaded my music library into it, it compiled the list and separated them by album.  But even though I'd assigned most of the albums artwork through my Zune management software (a Microsoft product), almost none of them populated into iTunes.  So I went through and started asking the software to try to find album artwork where possible.
    I did this a few times album by album, then I decided to select multiple albums and see what happened.  No problems.  Then I selected all of the albums I had--about 600 in all--and asked it to get artwork.  It seemed to process for a bit, then came back with the error, "Artwork for [album name] could not be located.  You do not have permission to access the requested resource."  I tried this on several individual albums, only to receive that same error.
    The very first time I did it, I was told I needed an account with the iTunes store to make it work, so I signed in using an old Apple ID (the account had been inactive for so long it had been locked for security, I unlocked it and that seemed to be that).  Then I did what I described above.
    The weird thing--to me--is that I can still add artwork to the albums manually if I want to, from imagery stored locally on my own computer.  The only thing it seems to have a problem with is when I ask it to go find artwork from the iTunes store.
    Do I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it?  Did something go wrong with the process of authorizing the computer to work with the iTunes store?  Do I need to de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer?  Could this be something related to Windows permissions on the iTunes library?

    Right on about how to reset the warnings, it was exactly that.
    I went through the steps to let iTunes through Windows Firewall, but still get the same problem when I access the iTunes store (and even though I followed the steps in the help file to the letter, I notice it still says iTunes is NOT enabled for it).  And now, thanks to the re-enabled warnings, when I try to get it to download artwork for single albums, this is what I get:
    "Artwork for [album name] could not be found.  An unknown error occurred (-50)."
