The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access

I am installing a new epson print driver on a G4 Quicksilver tower 10.4.11. When I try to install it, I get this message. "The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access privileges." I am stumped how to correct that issue.

  • Administrator or higher level access privileges.....  HELP - my computer...

    My computer and my printer all of a sudden won't talk. So I went to re-install and my computer won't let me install anything. It tells me I don't have authorization that I need 'Administrator or higher level access privileges.'
    So I went into preferences to make sure that I was the authority, (as I am the only one setting the machine up, my husband uses it sometimes. ) And that appears set right. But it still won't let me install anything. And I can't print anything either. ?? HELP - QUICK -- PLEASE.... I have been trying to fix this myself for a week and can't.
    Tonight I went through the apple care protection plan, and tried the quick reference guide and it tells me to put in the TechTool Deluxe and it won't give me authorization to even do that.....

    Are you logged in as the administrator?
    Does this happen even if you boot from DVD?

  • "Administrator or higher level privileges." But I am the Admin!

    I have a very frustrating problem. I noticed this for the first time when my printer stopped working. The scanner works, and I can run print tests from my computer but it won’t print. When I tried to reinstall the drivers I got an error message that says, “The software to be install needs Administrator or higher level privileges.” I typed in the correct password, which works for everything else. I am the only one using my computer and I am an administrator. This has never happened before.
    Now I can’t install anything without this error message, not even my regular updates. Which is freaking me out.
    I’ve tried everything I can think of. I’ve run disk utilities, repairs and permissions. I’ve created a new user (administrator) and tried that password/username.
    I couldn’t find any other threads on here with an answer to this problem.
    Thanks so much in advance if you can help me!! It is much appreciated! I have a lot of papers that are due next week and it would be awesome if I could figure this out.
    Ask me anything you need to know. I have a duel power G5 with extra ram, running OS X.
    Thanks again,

    .plist is temporary preference file for any application
    try using file search for "installer", if "installer.plist" is not found anywhere you may need to reinstall the OS.
    first you could try creating new user in System Preferences, restart computer, login as new user and try installing something.
    if it works under different user, some other prefernce could have been corrupted in original setup.
    in that case more drastic thing would be to log in as original user, go to your user home folder, then "library" folder and moving whole "preferences" folder to desktop.
    after restart all settings will go to defaults though - network, printers, dock, desktop pics etc.
    if it still won't work, OS files got corrupted and you may need to try "archive and install" option from 10.3.x installation disks:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    keep in mind it's a good idea to have backup of important files just in case.
    try it step by step starting with creating new user and take your time.

  • Error message require adminstrator or higher level, already did disk repair

    Hi all,
    I can't seem to install my printer drivers without an error message coming up:
    The program you are trying to install requires admin. or higher level access.
    I have gone to disk utilities and tried to repair disk permissions but it no use. It still keeps coming up.
    I'm logged in as admin and am the only user on my mac. It seemed to happen when I updated to 10.4.4
    My printer stopped working so I did as the instructions said and deleted the printer, but now I can't reinstall the drivers.
    Help please!!!

    Not sure exactly what you mean by errors. If they show up in your Scan Log, then they almost always involved files that you don't have read access to.
    If they were errors during Definitions Update there will be more in your Update Log and are usually network related. 
    If they were infections then I would need to know the infection name and exact location of the file in order to be able to advise you on those.
    To get detailed infomation on what ClamXav has found, after completing the scan, click in the top pane of the ClamXav window where it shows the Infection / File Name / Status to make sure it's in front and type the key combinations <command>-A, <command>-C (or choose "Select-All", "Copy" from the "Edit" menu) to copy the information to your clipboard, then come back here and type <command>-V or choose "Paste" to show us what was found where.

  • Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

    Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install. Appreciate if someone in the forum can help.

    The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod.  The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked.  I was very grateful.
    Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem.  The same backup to corrupt file was the message.  The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error. 
    When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy.  Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
    Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat.  Any thoughts about doing the following?
    1) creating a cloud backup
    2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
    3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
    4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
    This is the next thing on my list.

  • Pop Up: The software you are installing for this hardware has not passed Windows Logo testing - AntiVirus

    When deploying Endpoint Protection with SCCM 2012, some workstations are getting a popup saying:
    The software you are installing for this hardware has not passed Windows Logo
    testing and it references "Antivirus". Upon clicking continue anyway it finished installing.
    I'm not able to duplicate it on command and not sure why it's happening. Anyone else see this or have ideas on how to troubleshoot?

    Without a real screenshot (and maybe even being there), it's hard to say. IME this is not normal behavior and my first thought is that this is actually some malware causing this.

    Hi, I am working with CS6 Design Standard for Mac, I bought from Adobe a DVD with the Software. I installed it already on my mac book. Soon I wanna buy a second computer for my work. When I bought the software I was told that it is possible to install the software on a second computer. But I also read lately that I will only be allowed to work with one computer. I want to work on both of my computers without de/installing and de/activating the software every time. Is this possible? Thank you!!

    You should be able to install the products on two computers as long as they are not running at same. Also the platform should be MAC.
    You may download the product from

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

  • When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I already am connected and the software will not install.

    When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I am already connected. This also occurs when trying to install an Adobe update.

    A cable modem always needs a complete reset whenever you change the device that it is connected to.
    To get your Internet signal restored, it will require at least one major step including the reset of your modem and complete network power cycle.
    If that is not successful, the second major step is to reset the AirPort Extrreme back to factory defaults and then combine the steps above again.
    Try this first:
    Push the reset button on the cable modem (if present) and pull the internal batter (if easily accessible)  then power off the modem
    Power off everything else on your network....all devices....order is not important
    Wait at least 20 minutes...longer will not hurt
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots or world icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Re-install the modem battery if it was pulled in the step above
    Power up the modem and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 4-5 minutes
    Power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
    Check the network for proper operation
