I tried to update iTunes in Windows 7, but the program said not enough permission to start services. I tried to reinstall iTunes, but the same message showed up. Do I need to uninstall Apple Mobile Service. I tried but I couldn't uninstall it. What should I do?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

I have tried to update my Facebook app and it says there's not enough available storage to download it - I have deleted lots of apps to try and make more space but still not enough what can I do?
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Hi texas_aggi,
If iTunes is repeatedly prompting you to authorize, even though it is already authorized, you may find the troubleshooting in the following article about a similar issue helpful:

Okay, I hit "help" and then updates which it reports there is one but I do not have permission to install it. I am at a loss as what to do
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
* 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
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I can't seem to complete downloading the new version of Firefox. I got to the point where it said to drag the icon to the folder, but then I got the message that I don't have sufficient privileges to do that. What does that mean and how can I complete the download?
Thank you.You can ignore that.<br />
That is referring to the time stamp of the Firefox 6 file that is older than the time stamp of the Firefox 3.6.x release. -
