Tring to download Firefox 5.0.1 but it keeps saying can't load because of sufficient privileges for some of the items. What does this mean and can you help? Thanks! Greg

When I open my gmail account in firefox it tells me I need to download the new firefox 5.0.1 so I do. After download it tells me to move icon to applications folder, so I do. Then it ask about replacing my old and I say yes. Then it tells me it can't because of sufficient privileges for some of my items. Can you help?

If you have 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 DMG file to the desktop

  • Why won't Firefox 6 transfer to app folder, says I don't have sufficient privileges for some of the items?

    I've tried to download the most current Firefox and it downloaded but I can't save it to my apps or use it due to this error message:
    "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." Not sure what to do now?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.
    You can also do this:
    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • When I try to upgrade to the newer version of Firefox, this is the message I get (I am using OS 10.4.11): The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.

    I have recently dropped Earthink as me dial-up provider. I now am using Virgin Mobile Broadband2GO. I was using Safari. I am now using Yahoo! Mail Plus. It suggested I switch to Firefox. I had an older version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and started using it. It suggested I needed to upgrade because many of the newer web sites wouldn't work well on this older version. I downloaded the newer version and proceeded with the installation and it would tell me this: '''The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.''' I have re-downloaded and tried it again two more times. I haven't a clue what that means or what to do about it.

  • When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

    Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

  • I have downloaded an update to Firefox, but when I try to load it I get this message, "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items" and I have no idea what it is talking about or how to change it.

    The previous version of Firefox is still on and operational. I get this message when I try to drag the Firefox icon to the application file icon. Since this is my computer, and I am the administrator, I don't know what privileges I lack, or on which items. If there is a way to correct this I would like to do so and activate the new version. It looks like the new version is 7.0.1 for Mac OS. This happens everytime I try to load the new version by dragging the icon.

    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.

  • Cannot download newer version of Firefox. When I drag the icon over the folder it says "Cannot upgrade. You do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."

    Everything seems to go as planned according to the steps on the screen except for the last one dragging the icon over the file folder.

    Download the new version you want with other browsers like IE (Windows), Safari (Mac) and remove the last version. Then install the package you downloaded.
    Here you can download version 6.0: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Download]
    Also for older versions: [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ Here].

    Mavericks is not recognizing the .smi extension - on my Mac it thinks it's a RealPlayer document. You are not going to be able to do anything with this - it requires AppleWorks to be present to be updated, and you can't run AppleWorks on Mavericks (other than by the rather roundabout process of installing Snow Leopard Server in Parallels and installing AppleWorks on that, as described here).

    Maybe you are doing nothing wrong and the problem is with the disk.
    Use SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner
    to clone your system to an external drive.
    Then boot from your DVD go to Disk Utility and choose your entire drive > top icon in DIsk Utility.
    Go to Erase tab. Choose format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on erase. Now, install Lion and when you get to setup assistant choose to migrate from your external drive.
    This is slightly different than baltwo described and slighly longer but if there is any corruption on your disk a more through way to go, IMO.
    What baltwo is saying is to clone your volume over to an external hard drive with CCC reformat and clone it back. This will defragment the files and make them all contiguous but will not address any directory problems.
    Your choice. You can do it one way, then the other if it doesn't work out for you.
