Trying to upgrade OS X Mavericks for months now.

It seems like I've been trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks for months now. I keep getting this message -The file couldn’t be saved because you don’t have permission.(513). Why? And what can I do to fix this so that I can upgrade?

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
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.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Proceed to the following.
Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.
See if this fixes your problem.

I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price.

I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price, but it doesn't gives me the option of 20G for $0.99 a month.
How can I get 20g for $0.99 a month?
Thanks!

Katherine,
have you read the message in the panel? Something is wrong with your credit card. Perhaps you have to enter a new date of expiration.
In the small print it says, there is still a purchase, that needs paying,"Ugly Heart" with an amount of R 9.99. And "We were unable to authorise your credit card for this purchase". You will first have to update your Billing Information before you can proceed to make a new purchase for upgraded storage. Click "Account Details" in the iCloud panel.
-- Léonie
If you cannot fix the account from the iCloud panel, open iTunes and sign into the "Store" menu, Then use the "Store > View account" item there to check for problems with your Billing Information.

I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

In other words, the upgrade process did not go altogether well and the device has lost all its contents. When you plug it in, they will be restored from the backup.

Error -3212? I can't connect to the itunes store - haven't for months now!

+Itunes could not connect to the Itunes Store. An unknown error has occurred (-3212).+
This pops up every single time I try to get to the Itunes Store. It's been like this for months now. I clicked on HELP to 'Run Diagnostics' and I have no issues with the connection, so I don't know what's wrong.
I also can't check for upgrades. :\
I've looked everywhere on the Support page of Apple and I can't find the answer anywhere.
I'd greatly appreciate any help at all. Thank you!

I am getting the same error message -3212. I am still trying everything to try and solve the problem. If you figure it out post and let me know. I will do the same if I can get this stupid thing to work. Hopefully someone out there knows how to help. I even spent an hour on the phone with my ISP and they don't even know what the heck is going on!

Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.0.43 still crashes after beginning of encoding - bugs for months now!

Adobe Media Encoder CC 7.2.0.43 is still crashing after beginning of encoding! In my case this bug exists for months now and Adobe is not able to get rid of its own programming faults! The user pays a lot of money for the license and doesn't get a functioning software! I spent days to get a solution now, but NOTHING of your suggested help works!
This is my 'support' history beginning in AUGUST (!):
Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 ...
Subject: Bug Report
Product: Adobe Media Encoder
Product Version: CC
Operating System : Windows 7
OS version: Service P1
Concise problem statement: Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Go to Premiere Media Export
2. Stating Media Export Parameters for ME
3. Starting ME
4. Define video title and path
5. Start Media Encoder CC rendering
6. ME states 'Preview not available'
7. Rendering aborts after about 15 sec.
8. Media Encoder CC crashes, no matter which kind of video! Every time.
9. Direct 'Export' from Premiere CC is possible with all the same parameters, but CC AME crashes!
10. Also installed Premiere CS 6 Media Encoder WORKS without any problems, but not the CC Media Encoder!!
Expected results: Media Encoder CC WORKING. This is still my expected result as a paying customer!
My steps to solve these problems (with Adobe's help) were / are:
- Cleant every suggested media cashes.
- Tried to render the sequences also without audio.
- Tried to render as one pass.
- Even if I try just to export ONE simple standard SONY PMW EX1 mp4 file which should never cause problems it chrashes, also without audio.
- Also if I clean all preferences and caches before, EVERY file type crashes, no matter if I try to export a video or a still picture.
- This is not happening in Adobe AME CS6 with the same files, but in CC!! CS6 still renders reliably with preview, but CC crashes without being able to show any preview.
- Held the Shift key down while starting AME. This should reset preferences and so on...
- Deleted suggested "7.0" directories as described in other forum posts concerning this topic.
- Logged out of my CC account.
- Deinstalled and reinstalled PPro, After Effects, InDesign, Flash, using Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. All is the newest version 7.2.
- Set GPU renderer to "Software Only". Some video cards have issues when GPU is set to "OpenCL" or "CUDA".
- Checked updates available for video driver. Latest is installed.
- Turned off "Enable Native Premiere Pro sequence import" in AME prefs.
- AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt doesn't have any content, not a single line.
NOTHING WORKED OR HELPED!

Hello friends of the mac,
Safari makes me crazy. My system is quite stable, only Safari crashes regularly, for months now. Every day at least once or more often. Tried all usual procedures: permission repaired, harddisk OK, cache deleted etc. It goes on... Perhaps one good thing: it is always the same error message (relevant part follows).

Every recommendations are welcome, really.

Hi and welcome...
OS Version: Mac OS X 10.6.4 (10F569)
That's not the complete crash report but not having your system software up to date can cause Safari to crash. The most recent Snow Leopard version is v10.6.6.
Click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) Software Update ...
Then repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US 
Restart your Mac and try Safari. If Safari continues to crash, post the lastest crash report but this time include the "binary images" section.
Safari crashes can also be due to third party Safari add-ons. Troubleshooting help here for that.

TS3899 "cannot get mail" in iphone5 suddenly. been using iphone to check 2 email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is thunderbird and i get this error message now. no settings have been changed or anything! ideas?

hey all, I have been getting the "cannot get mail" error message on my iphone5 suddenly.
ive been using iphone to check two email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is mail from thunderbird and i get this error message now saying it is not responding. no settings have been changed or anything, it just suddenly stopped receiving mail on my device as of Tuesday afternoon.
Does anyone have iny ideas about why? i have yet to update to the new OS7 yet, could that be it?

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Here's a positive thing: Windows viruses can't run on OS X, but they can be transferred from OS X to other PCs (only if you have them on the OS X volume).

You could get a virus from a different source that infected Steam and Chrome without any problem. Viruses normally try to infect as many files and programmes as possible.

Ive had the BB curve for months now, all of a sudden I cant send pics, or LOG OUT of facebook, which leaves my phone wide open to anyone..

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Have used Illustrator CS5 for months. now suddenly it won't work- says "insufficient memory to run application". Lenovo w700, windows vista. Illustrator CS4 works, Photoshop CS5 works, everything else is working fine, in fact they all get loaded together.
I found no solutions on the community board.
Can I remove Ill. CS5 without damaging CS4, and then reinstall CS5? And if so, then how do I reinstall it?
This is not fun.
D Lund

Nope, it opens a tiny little window, plus opening the floating tool menu
This time I did not use the desktop short cut, but used what should be the exec icon under program files, expanded the window and it worked!
Is this like taking my kid to the doctor-- I'm all better now daddy!

HT5278 im having a problem downloading updates for iOS 5.1.1 is been for months now it cuts out everytime

im having a problem downloading updates for iOS 5.1.1 is been for months now it cuts out everytime

Are you updating under Settings > General > Software Update, or using iTunes on a computer?

I have had my Photoshop Cs6 for months now and I still have to keep licensing it. Very frustrating.

I have had my Photoshop Cs6 for months now and I still have to keep licensing it when I go to use it!! Any help out there with this!! It is so frustrating!!

Only for mac users though... Win 64-bit still suffering the problem :-(

Ipad2 and Ipad3, cannot see Ipad2 user - worked ok for months, now broken. Like to know how to upgrade Ipad2 to IOS 5.1.1 (too many issues with IOS 6 - consider too risky)?

I have been using Facetime successfully for months to communicate with my elderly mother in the UK (I am located in Canada)? Today we tried Facetime and we could hear each other but I could not see her. She could see me ok however.
As I wasn't sure whether the problem was with my iPad or hers I made a FaceTime call to my brother-in-law in the UK, this call worked perfectly. I then tried a Factime call with a friend in Canada and it also worked fine.
My mother could see herself in the small window so we know that her camera must be working.
Here are the IOS versions for the four IOS devices used in these tests..
My mothers iPad 2: IOS 4.3.5
Brother-in-law's iPad 3: IOS 5.1.1
Friends iPhone: IOS 6
My iPad 3: IOS 5.1.1
My questions are as follows:
Q1/ Has anyone heard of Facetime problems between newer and older iPads as a result of Apple rolling out IOS 6 recently?
(maybe there have been some changes to the FaceTime servers as part of the IOS 6 rollout?)
Q2/ Is it possible to update my Mothers iPad 2 (IOS 4) to IOS 5.1.1 and do this without using a computer? (I would prefer her to update to 5.1.1 and hold off updating to 6 because of all the issues I read of users having problems with 6, including FaceTime issues)
My mother is in her 70's, and has no computing device other than her iPad. She can just about manage to figure out how to use the basic features of her iPad. Therefore the update process needs to be very easy and straightforward otherwise she is likely to get very confused, very quickly!
Facetime has been brilliant for my mother and keeping in touch with her son, thousands of miles away, we would really like to get Facetime working again.
Can anyone help?

You will not be able to block IOS 6. You can try blocking it with a webfilter or firewall but if the students take these home or connect to another network or iTunes they can get it that way. You will find that the vast majority of all apps will work with 6 or have been updated to work with it by now.
