Studio 8 on OSX: "Need Admin" on install - I AM ADMIN!

My account on this computer is the admin account. In fact, it
is the ONLY account on the computer. I don't have any previous
Studios on my comp (demo or otherwise). I do have CS2, though, but
that shouldn't matter. What's up?

MacOS X always asks for credentials before installing
software, regardless
of whether or not you're the admin logged in. It's a security
feature used
to ensure you are who you say you are, and to reasonably
prevent worms and
other malware from installing stuff on your computer when
you're not
looking.
Best regards,
Chris

If i upgrade osx will i need to re-install applications such as Photoshop

Hi I have a 4 year old macbook pro running OSX 10.5.8
It's now starting to run quite slow so I was thinking about upgrading to SnowLeopard and then Lion.
I understand that I have to backup my current data which I have now done.
I understand that I need to download SnowLeopard to then install it, but I'm worried I will need my original disks for some of my software; iWork '09, Adobe illustrator and Photoshop, which I'm not sure where my original disks are anymore.
Will I need to re-install these any of this software if I do an upgrade of osx?

No. However, you need to make sure your apps will run under Lion if you decide to go that route:

Also, although Apple states you need SL to upgrade to Lion, fact is if you purchase the Lion USB key from Apple, you can go directly to Lion. Make sure your computer meets the requirements:

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

I'm with Jim on this. It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version. You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.

CC warning needs admin Rights to install Add-0ns keeps poping up and can't install Kuler extenison for PS CC 2014?

Sync files is turned on and I updated all my CC apps but can't install the Kuler extension for PS CC 2014. Also, constantly getting pop-up OS Notification "Need Admin Rights to install add-ons". Please help to resolve this issue. Thanks. Joe

This is covered elsewhere but you should enter your admin password and that should enable the install. Further details and solutions are in this thread:

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Upgrading to lion message Hard drive needs osx Journel extended to install

Upgrading from 10.6 to lion i get the message the hard drive needs to be installed on a "osx journel (extended)" hard disk. In disk utility it is in the correct format Any idea's ?

Are you sure it's journalled?
Preferably Mac OS Extended (Journaled), or, if necessary, Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled).
If the "Journaled" is missing, just select the partition (indented, under the main line for the drive), and click the Enable Journaling icon in the toolbar (or select File > Enable Journaling in the menubar).

Error 175 .- CC needs admin right to install or remove add-ons - Windows 7 -

Sync files is turned on and I updated all my CC apps but can't install the Kuler extension for PS CC 2014 and other add-ons. Also, constantly getting pop-up notification "Need Admin Rights to install add-ons"."Error 175 " "Installation failed" . Windows 7, desktop & laptop. Please help to resolve this issue. Thanks. Giulio

In my understanding, you have acquired some add-ons at https://creative.adobe.com/addons, but Adobe Creative Cloud application failed to install them due to that you didn't provide the administrator right.
You can restart Adobe Creative Cloud application, then it will try to re-install all the failed add-ons, and the notification will pop-up again. You can click it and provide the administrator right.

I'm the admin and yet it says I need admin privileges to install games?

In fact, there are no other users on this brand spanking new laptop and it says admin under my name?!?!
And yet whenever I try to install games from the Apple downloads section, it simply said I need admin privileges to install the software...
Is it a Snow Leopard issue or a MacBook issue? I wasn't sure, so I posted it here.
Please help.

I'm having the same problem with Diner Dash. It doesn't even give you the prompt to give the password. All it says is "This installer needs admin privileges to download." And the only button it gives you is quit. I've tried a bunch of different things from deleting the guest account to taking the password off my computer, nothing is working.
I also set everyone to read & write under applications, I even added myself and an admin user since, in the beginning, it didn't have them and it's still not working. It has system, wheel, and everyone. I even checked out the Read me that comes with the disk, wondering if there was this problem known before and the section "Known Problems" says None under it, which doesn't help. I opened up the file inside the installer too and tried working with terminal, nothing is working.

Why does App Manager think I need Admin privileges to install updates?

I'm a Creative Cloud subscriber, and when I open apps (such as Muse) I get a message to install upgrades (or not). If I ask to install, I'm asked for login and password info, which is then refused and I get an error message that I need Admin privileges. So the install fails.
I can log in to this site using my login and password, so that's not the problem. I can also open the application (without the upgrades) but these are listed as being time-sensitive: only available until, for example, June 14. But there's no way for me to install these new releases. HELP!!!

It's down to where the updates are writing their files / registry keys. For example, installing/updating the Flash Player runtime has always required admin access as the file lives within the operating system folder tree (on Windows it's in system32/Macromed). Registry-wise, Adobe places keys in HKCU and HKLM - the latter is read-only for normal users.
If you're managing a network with enterprise-licensed software, there are tools for Creative Cloud that permit an IT manager to build offline deployment packs for the base installers and updates. If your users have retail copies of CC, that isn't an option and everything has to be managed on a per-machine basis.

Do I need to re-install Logic?

I recently had to do an Archive and Install of Leopard after having terrible problems with the first installation - see thread below:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6222119&#6222119
The result was the creation of a fresh OSX install and a Previous Systems folder that contains my old user accounts and many of my applications, including Logic. All these applications were installed from my earlier account, so they seem to treat me as if I am a new user. I moved Logic from the old Previous Systems Applications folder to my new Applications folder and it required me to re-enter my serial number when it started up. I tried opening a GarageBand project in Logic and found that one midi setting (Apple's Orchestral Kit) doesn't work.
I suspect that this is because Logic can't find that associated files. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if moving Logic as I did is the source of my problems? If so, do I need to re-install it also?
Thanks
John

you don't have to install 7, your dongle proves that you owned 7, I did a fresh install of OS 10 on my new computer and installed Logic studio only. You're gonna love it!

Q: I am familiar with SQL Server's .NET data provider, but am new to Oracle. Is it easy to learn to use ODP.NET?
A: Yes. ODP.NET inherits from all the ADO.NET base classes, which is what SQL Server's .NET data provider, SqlClient, is based upon. The ADO.NET constructors, methods, and properties that you use with SQL Server will be the same with Oracle. For many applications, the only notable differences will be having all objects that were preceded with "Sql", such as SqlConnection, be preceded by "Oracle", such as OracleConnection, and accounting for differences between Oracle and SQL Server database data types, SQL, and stored procedure calls.
Q: What are the different ways Oracle integrates with Microsoft .NET?
A: Oracle integrates with .NET in a number of ways. For optimized .NET data access, ODP.NET enables access to all of the Oracle database's advanced features, such as RAC and XML DB, while ensuring the fastest performance from the .NET Framework.
For .NET development tools that make Oracle easier to use, the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET provide wizards and designers that auto-generate ODP.NET code and can browse and edit schemas and stored procedures. Additionally, it includes a Data Window to modify and view data and context-sensitive help.
Beginning with Oracle Database 10g Release 2, developers can build and deploy .NET stored procedures for their Oracle database.
For application integration, web services can facilitate integration between your existing Oracle and .NET applications.
Q: Where can I find ODP.NET help and sample code?
A: ODP.NET documentation is available from within Visual Studio .NET using Dynamic Help. Just hit the F1 key when your cursor is on an ODP.NET API and a help page for that API will appear right within Visual Studio .NET.
Additional ODP.NET documentation is available both locally installed and from the ODP.NET documentation page.
Sample code can be found both locally as part of the ODP.NET installation (e.g. c:\oracle\<Oracle Home Name>\ODP.NET\samples) and on ODP.NET samples page.
ODP.NET users can ask questions on the ODP.NET discussion forum.
Q: I have ODP.NET installed, but I can't find the ODP.NET Dynamic Help. Where is it?
A: This behavior sometimes occurs when installing new Visual Studio .NET versions over an ODP.NET installation. To enable ODP.NET Dynamic Help, go to Visual Studio .NET Combined Help Collection Manager located in Visual Studio .NET 2002 or Visual Studio .NET 2003. Make sure the box next to the Oracle Data Provider for .NET Help is checked and click on the Update VSCC button. Close Visual Studio .NET and re-open it to enable ODP.NET Dynamic Help.
Note: Because of security restrictions, you may need to copy and paste the links above to a browser, rather than clicking on them. Once copied to a local browser, if you have a Windows service pack that prevents active content (e.g. Windows XP service pack 2), you will need to allow active content to view the complete page.

A security warning will show up. Click "Yes" and you will be able to view the page in its entirety, including having the option to incorporate the Oracle Data Provider for .NET Help into Visual Studio .NET.
Q: What are the new features in this version of ODP.NET?
A:
ODP.NET 10.2.0.1.0
Server-side ODP.NET for .NET stored procedures
RAC client-side connection load balancing and automatic connection cleanup
Database Change Notification
LOB and LONG retrieval - faster data retrieval, InitialLOBFetchSize can be up to 2GB, and full LOB functionality when InitialLOBFetchSize > 0 (i.e. GetOracleClob and GetOracleBlob methods are enabled). These same features are now enabled with LONGs with its respective APIs.
Connection Pool Management - explicitly clear connection pool(s)
Client Identifier property for supporting application context security, such as with VPD
Input REF Cursor parameters
ODP.NET 10.1.0.3.0
Statement caching
DeriveParameters - automatic population of stored procedure parameters
Cancel long running queries
ADO.Net 1.1 interfaces - HasRows and EnlistDistributedTransaction properties
LOB and LONG retrieval - Entire LOB and LONG column data can be retrieved even if the select list does not contain a primary key, ROWID, or unique key.
ODP.NET 10.1.0.2.0
Grid support
Schema-based XMLType
BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE datatypes
Multiple Oracle Homes
ODP.NET 9.2.0.4.01
Improved XML DB and XMLType support
PL/SQL associative arrays
connection pool validation
InitialLOBFetchSize property to improve LOB retrieval performance
Q: How do I make a feature enhancement request for ODP.NET?
A: You can contact Oracle Support or use the ODP.NET discussion forum to make an enhancement request.
Q: What features will ODP.NET support in future releases?
A: In general, Oracle does not discuss features in future product releases until the release date nears. We are well aware of enhancement requests made through the ODP.NET discussion forum and Oracle support. We encourage Oracle users to continue to make their requests known. Oracle will do its best to fulfill these requests in future releases.
Q: Do I need to install ODP.NET on my Oracle database server?
A: No. You only need to install ODP.NET for running client or middle-tier .NET applications. The exception is if you are using .NET stored procedures in the database server. The server-side ODP.NET provider will automatically be installed with the Oracle Database Extensions for .NET.
Q: Can ODP.NET work with Oracle8, Oracle8i, Oracle9i, and Oracle10g database (DB) servers? Can these DB servers be on Linux or Unix?
A: Yes and yes. Oracle clients can support older and newer versions of the Oracle database. Consult the Oracle on Windows FAQ for more information.
Oracle clients on Windows can work with Oracle database servers on any platform.
Q: Can ODP.NET be used with an Oracle8, Oracle8i, or Oracle9i Release 1 client?
A: No. You need to use the Oracle9i Release 2 or higher client.
Q: What do I need to have installed on my client machine to have ODP.NET work?
What needs to be on a client machine when running an application compiled with the 10g ODP.NET?
The FAQ states the following :-
A: You will require the following:
Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 or higher
Oracle9i Client Release 2 (9.2) or higher
Oracle Net Services (included with the client)
Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server, Release 2 (9.2) or higher. This is required for applications using distributed transacations.
This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
I'd be very grateful for anyone who can clear up my confusion.
Mick

This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

I need to re-install Tiger: Will I lose my installed applications?

I somehow lost isync and I was told that I need to re-install Tiger. What I'm worried about is whether I will lose all the applications I have installed in the appz folder, such as FCP, Entourage with all the info I have in there, including projects, thousands of mails and so forth. I know I have to back-up, but last time I backed up a project and then imported it again, I lost all the categories on events, etc and I am using those categories as a database of sorts. Secondly I don't have the all the programmes I have installed on my MAC at the moment because I'm abroad. Will I lose the documents files etc?
Since I tempered with isync and lost it, the computer is acting strange, I would dare say, like a PC! It freezes (without blue screens), I can't go from one profile to another, especially if I have a programme like FCP open on one, FCP closes down on its own if I go to my other profile whilst I am on FCP and other strange things that never happened before.
Bottom line, if your uncle, who has a MAC himself asks you to set up his Nokia Communicator on your mac to isync (when isync 2.3 does not recognize his communicator), do not feel compelled to help and try playing around with the root editor if you're not definetly sure you know what you're doing! I screwed up my computer and the end of my year by being nice.
To recap-- if I re-install Tiger (10.4), will I lose my appz and their preferences and the info I have inside them? How would I back up entourage for example-- all the stuff I have in there at the moment? I am editing a documentary (I am an independent and poor documentary filmmaker) and I don't want to end up losing the sync with the render files I have-- another reason why I don't have the time to actually re-install from scratch!
Thanks for everything whoever decides to answer my plight and Happy New Year!

Hi Adrian,
I have an 800Gb external HD. Would that be the same? (ie backing up my home and applications folders onto the external rather than on his MAC?-- he asked me to sync it on his because he left his up north)
I will start off by trying to repair it using the first the OSX disk then using disk warrior (even though I have had problems with it since I upgraded to OSX 10.4).
Then if that does not solve my friggin' problem we'll wait for the gurus.
I don't know whether this is related but...
I have been closing my yearly accounts yesterday-- sad prospect for the end of the year and I had created a few years back an XLs document with various sheets that have a lot of equations and links. I also hyperlinked the original receipts scans to the individual expenses on my sheet.
Now here's what happens. End of the year arrived and I wanted to archive the 2006 workbook to another folder where I keep the yearly accounts documents. When I do that and open the workbook the hyperlinks do not work but if I put it where it was originally they work. Since all my workbooks were created from the same template they all don't work (and I can't remember for the life of me whether the problem had cropped up in the past). If I create a new document in the archiving folder and try a hyperlink it works-- if I move it to the folder where the 2006 accounts workbook was originally, it works too, but if I copy and paste even one of the formulae when the new docu is in the archiving folder or anywhere else, the hyperlink does not work any longer! I move it to the original position and voila` it works! I simply cannot understand why its doing that for me! Is there an explanation for this at all?
Sorry for the length but wanted to explain move by move what I did.
Thanks for the help and awaiting your reply (even on the external HD bit)
Happy New Year.

Do I need to re-install the WHOLE suite or can I just install just Encore and Premier Pro?????

I'm having a problem with my Encore and Premier Pro software. I have the Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Premium CS5.1. Encore will not allow me to burn DVDS. I'm getting an 52102 error...won't allow it to finish writing...ALSO Premier Pro stops after capturing about 5 or 10 minutes of video and freezes...do I need to re-install my software??? and if I do... do I need to install the WHOLE suite or can I just install just Encore and Premier Pro????? I can burn and image file and it burns DVDs on my old Corel software so I know its not the burner or the DVDs I'm using..I am in the middle of a big project for kids at school really need to figure this out...not getting anywhere online. Can anyone help??? Has anyone had this problem? Hope I'm posting this to right place. THANKS!

I haven't had 52102 error, but seen it discussed. Here are a couple of links
Error = Sense Code 52102
Encore Hardware Error Sense Code 52102
Burning the iso file to the dvd may not be the same process as burning directly from Encore to dvd, and so may not exhibit the same error, if any. See response 1 in the first link.

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:

OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error: Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." After entering Adobe password, nothing happens. Locked from further installation. Any ideas? Adobe phone support could not help.

Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.
