Update hangs due to lack of permission - you should fix this

Mac-Notified that FireFox update is available. Goes to update server and stays there doing nothing. Go to "Check for Updates." Says. update is available but you do not have permission to install it. Okay, I can fix that but it would be much better if that message was delivered when it first detected that an update was available. (This is just for those of us who like to consider FireFox to be perfect)

This is not the "problem" at all! I'm using my wife's machine so she is the principal admin. I have admin privileges but I can't re-install or upgrade FireFox (or any other program) without logging out as me and logging in as her. My "complaint" is that if FireFox can recognize this when I select "Check for Upgrades", (and tell me I don't have privileges to make the installation) why can't it tell me this when it automatically checks for upgrades? It would just make it look cleaner. This is normal Mac behavior. I know I could re-install it under my name if I wanted to but then, I would have to upgrade it all the time.

HT201210 what is the 'other' section of storage on my iPhone? I can't update iOS7 due to lack of storage!! And I have deleted almost everything.

I can't update iOS7 due to lack of space for the upgrade. I have hardly any songs, apps and pictures yet there is this 'other' storage which is over 4GB. What is it and how can I reduce it?

Thanks, I ended up just going to Apple and returning it and upgrading to a 16GB Iphone and just paying the price diffence. They had no problem doing that. So, for $100 plus 10% restocking, I got a brand new, double the capacity, Iphone.

I have iTunes, latest version, open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice but problem continues.

Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.

Some of your Quick time is out of date. You can fix this problem by updatin

I am running Windows XP SP2 with V 7.1.3 of Quicktime. Every time I lauch QT, I get the error message:
"Some of your Quick time is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version."
I have gone onto Apple's web site and got the very latest I can see of QT, and no matter what I keep getting this message. I have 400 PC's in a school district that every time they lauch QT it gets this error. There are 2 tabs "update now" or "cancel". If we select Update now, it doesn't update because we already have the latest. So we just have to do "cancel". Has anyone seen this? Please help.

Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem...

'Cancel' 'Do It Now'
If I click 'Cancel', the program seems to run fine. If I click "Do It Now', I get the following:
Information received from the QuickTime server is in valid. Please try again later.

My scroll feature of the Lenovo ThinkPad(red scroll) is not working in the new Firefox 4. It was working fine in 3.6. Can you please fix this as this is very important feature.

The scroll feature(middle button) is not working on the new firefox 4. So because of this I need to move the scroll bar to move the page. This is very irritating problem, if you are a guy who uses the middle button to scroll. Can you please fix this..
Thanks!!!

I updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the middle scroll button on my Lenovo T400 stopped working. I downloaded the updated Ultranav utility and the Ultranav driver for my T400 from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72858.html and then uninstalled the "Thinkpad Ultranav Driver" from Add/Remove programs rebooted and then installed the updated utility and driver (another reboot) and it now works perfectly.
So glad to get this working again.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this did not work, and to rule out a software issue, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

If still no luck, this might be a hardware problem and the phone has to be checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple:

after an update safari stopped working any ideas on how to fix this?

Use another browser to install Safari again.
You can download Firefox for the Mac, place the download on a USB thumb drive stick it into the Mac and copy it, run the installer.
Once FF is on, download a new copy of Safari from Apple's site.
