"Updates could not be installed" running Mountain Lion 10.8.2

I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and trying to install Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 update. However, I receive the following message: "Updates could not be installed. Please contact your Administrator [namely, me!] if you wish to apply updates on your machine. Updates have been suppressed by the Administrator." I have, however, checked the box "Allow applications downloaded from Anywhere" in the Security pane of System Preferences.
Please advise! Thanks

7.1 is only available for PSE11 not earlier versions.

An update tries to run, but an error message stating "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." I can't open Firefox

I click on Firefox and it says that Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few minutes. Then I get "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." this cycle never ends. Do I need to deinstall Firefox and re-install? If I do that, do i lose all of my bookmarks, etc?

"The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again"

I'm using Firefox 4 Beta and I tryed install update but I dont got success. Now every time that I go start the browser is displayed the mensage: "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again"
My release is installed not in default drive C:\. I installed in the other Partition on my PC.
I don't have other release installed.

Try a clean re-install.
* Download the setup file from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/RC (this is for the Firefox 4 release candidate)
* Uninstall Firefox, do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data"
* Delete the Firefox installation directory - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
* Re-install Firefox
This process does not remove the Firefox user data such as bookmarks and passwords which are stored elsewhere in the profile folder.
You may also need to manually reset the Software Update feature by deleting the software update files as shown in the "Software Update not working properly" section here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update

"The update could not be installed.Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer,and then restart Firefox to try again"this kind of error massage i found but there are no other copies of Firefox running on my computer.So please solve my prob.I can not uninstall this because i have saved important bookmark on my system.When i start my Firefox that time browser is opening few times later may be it's my internet slow connection but everyone has slow connection internet they are not having this prob then why should i have this prob.Why it is taking little bit time to open?

Thanks for the info about Trojan. It may be the problem. Meanwhile I went to Admin/Owner side and did some cleaning -- including trying to reload my Favorite/Bookmarks that have always carried forth from previous levels of Windows XP and earlier.
The new computer here did not grab the Bookmarks from the previous, and yesterday I thought I had them loaded, and today went to Worker-Bee side and they are not showing.
About those add-ons... I have no idea, but think I got everything up to date yesterday. I will look at your earlier reply tomorrow or this weekend when I have more time at home to learn from it.
Thank you for your time in helping.
Late here, heading to sleep. Marilyn

With the latest update I get the following error: The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again; suggestions, advice, help.

Help>About Firefox> says I am using Firefox/3.6.10./GTB7.1 I get a note from Mozilla that there is an update. I download it after granting permission to change my machine. I say OK. A green bar slides across the monitor announcing that the update is being downloaded. When I then assume it is being installed I get the following error: The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again. There are no other copies running. The machine is not on a network. I am using WIN7

Update could not be installed pls make sure no other copies running

I have version Firefox 10.0 and it is trying to update to 10.0.01 but msg states update could not be installed. Please make sure no other copies of FF are running. I had this problem before V10 was updated and re-installed FF at that time. Why does this continue to happen. I tried restarting and Run as admin but nothing works.

Hi,
Please try deleting the '''parent.lock''' file in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder]. You can also open this folder via Firefox '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder''', and exit Firefox.

Update could not be installed. Make sure no other copies are running. Same over and over.

Firefox keeps trying to install update. Message: Update could not be installed. Make sure no other copies of Foxfire are running then restart FF to try again. Repeats same message over and over.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_Failed._The_update_could_not_be_installed

I am currently running 29.0.1. at each startup Firefox is trying to update but fails with the message "Update Failed.... The update could not be installed.

I have tried running a manual update but I still receive the same error "Update Failed : The update could not be installed. All aspects of FF appear to be working normally.

Some users have reported problems with AVG. Disable it for now.
Go to '''Mozilla.org''' and get the full installer from this link;

When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

When I open firefox I get an error message "update could not be installed check for duplcates"

Error message: The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox and try again.
I have uninstalled all versions of Firefox. Then went to the Internet through Explorer and downloaded from scratch. A few days later I started getting the message again.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

"The update could not be installed" message

Every time I start Firefox I get a dialog box with this message:
The update could not be installed. Please make sure that there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer and then restart Firefox to try again. [OK button]
I click the OK button, the box disappears, then Firefox starts up.
It's annoying. I have tried updating Firefox in the Admin account on this computer, but even that has not worked. Why might this be happening, and what can I do about it?
PS I don't do online forums, if you are a "Firefox expert" answering thsi question, by all means post the reply on the forum, but please also email it to me at my registration address. Thanks.

So this is rapid updating? I had to stop using V5 because of problems. V5.01 did improve things. FF was still my default browser so I did get to follow the upgrade to V6. Now the suggestion that completely removing it and editing the registry will enable me to see if V6 is worth having. Please, this is not rapid. This is the kind of problem that stopped me using Norton, having to deal with more issues that actually using the software.
No doubt I will attempt this sometime, by then though I may have just got used to Chrome [yuk]. It is not a good sign that being more news worthy is better than having a working product. I'm a web and app developer and it has served me well until V4 now it is just getting in the way and Mozilla seem to think that just one more rapid release [with problems like this] may just solve the problems.
I think not after all I'm still waiting for MS to fix things that should have been better 10 years ago.
I removed my current version. I check that the folders were gone. I reinstalled. I got an error:
Error Platform version '5.01' is not compatible with minVersion >=6.0 maxVersion <=6.0

The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed) this keeps happening after it has told me to update Why ?

while running Firefox it comes on the screen saying security update so after it ties to update this comes on the screen "The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)" I am running Firefox 6.0 and don't seem to have any other issues with it but it asks me several times to do this update but still says it cant do it
I am running windows vista

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete the active-update.xml file.
