When I try and install firefox it says that I do not have the correct privaliges- MAcBook Pro.

When I try to update Firefox, it says that I do not have the correct privileges.

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 reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • When I try to update Firefox it says that "you do not have sufficient privileges for some items." This is my personal laptop. I'm stuck. Thanks

    I'm working on a Mac laptop. Currently Firefox is on version 3.6. I've never been able to update the browser. Any suggestions? Thank you

    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.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.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

  • When I try to open firefox it says that it is not responding, after I disabled the adobe flash plug-in it worked, how do I get it to work with flash

    Since I updated my adobe flash player firefox keeps saying that it is not responding after I open it and it loads my home page, I disabled add-ons and went throught the process of figuring out which one it was and it was adobe flash, but without flash I cant access a lot of different sites, how can I fix this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both firefox and adobe flash, but neither works!

  • After working correctly before Firefox now says that I don't have the propper permission to have the automatic upgrade process. New iMac and MacBook Pro both afected. Using Snow Leopard

    After working correctly since I started using the iMac Firefox now say that I do not have the privileges to have it auto update the Firefox. I don't think I changed anything.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Since last update

    Well, running on a 2006 model.  I did not have a startup disc.  Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006.  Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set.  And, since then I think I popped it up to lion. 
    All I have on a disc is snow leopard.  And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive.  I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now.  We'll see what they tell me .  I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
    Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff.  So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc.  we'll see if they can recover.  If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system.  Just not sure at this point.

  • How do I find installer? When I try to install downloads, the box says that I do not have the Installer I need.

    How do I find installer? When I try to install downloads, the box says that I do not have the Installer I need.

    If it's updates through the Office auto-updater that are having problems, that's probably an issue you'll need to take up on Microsoft's support site. If you're having problems installing Office from scratch and it's saying it can't find Installer, you may need to repair your hard drive. More help will probably be obtained if you post in the Mac OS X 10.6 forum; this forum, where you originally posted, is for help with the Communities themselves.

  • I have the 64bit version of itunes. When I connect my iphone5 it says that I don't have the correct software and that I need to install itunes 64bit! And I can go no further! Help!

    I have the 64bit version of itunes on windows 7. When I connect my iphone5 it says that I don't have the correct software and that I need to install itunes 64bit! And I can go no further! I've uninstalled and reinstalled but it makes no difference. I have no access to other computers so at the moment I don't have a backup for my iphone should anything go wrong.
    Please Help!

    Hello ekbowers,
    It sounds like you have installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, but you continue to the get an error message that suggests to download the 64 bit version any time you connect your iPhone 5.  I understand that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but sometimes you may need to uninstall additional components related to iTunes to completely remove it from your system. 
    I recommend following the steps in this article to completely uninstall iTunes:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Once you have completely uninstalled iTunes, you can download the 65 bit version of iTunes for Windows here:
    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    ..

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • HT4743 I just purchased an iTunes TV show and it successfully downloaded. It is now saying that I do not have the proper version of QuickTime on this version of iTunes (10.6.3). How can a show I purchased be incompatible with the latest version of iTunes?

    I just purchased an iTunes TV show and it successfully downloaded. It is now saying that I do not have the proper version of QuickTime on this version of iTunes (10.6.3).
    How can a show I purchased be incompatible with the latest version of iTunes?
    I want a refund, but I can't even figure out how to request one through support. Super frustrated and long time Apple customer.

    After a day of trying, both iTunes and my Apple TV are telling me that the episodes of Scooby Doo I purchased are incompatible due to QuickTime. I still don't understand how I purchased something from iTunes that doesn't work with iTunes.
    the exact error I receive when I try to play an episode is the following:
    "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
    Any advice would be great!

  • I have a 2011 mini with usb connector when I attempt to connect my nano I get the message that I do not have the correct adapter cable. I got the correct adapter cable from the Mini dealer. Any suggestions?

    I cannot get my Mini Cooper to sync up with my nano thru the USB port. When I hook up with the cable that came with the Nano, it acknowledges that it is an Ipod however it displays the message that I do not have the correct cable.  When I use the audtio adapter cable from BMW it doesn't see the Nano at all. Has anyone else had the issue and what did you do to over come it  I tried my nano in another persons car (a Ford) and it worked with no issue.

    This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable.  Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

  • When I try to open Firefox, it says that "the proxy server is refusing connections." What settings do I need to change? Even though the internet signal is strong, I can't open any webpages.

    It also says that Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. This is probably caused by Firewall settings on this computers. Check the firewall settings for HTTP port (80), HTPPS prot (443) & FTP port (21).
    This all started when I tried to tried to delete the Verizon Broadband toolbar and home page that always opened when I opened Firefox.

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

  • When I try to open firefox, it says that a session is already running and I need to close it before I can run another session, I cannot find the session that's running, what can I do?

    This happens after I have used firefox and exited the program. When I try to reuse the program I get this message. Is there a setting within firefox causing this or ??? I have tried to locate the session running without any luck. Would appreciate any help. I have uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it, but nothing has changed it continues to malfunction.

  • Firefox keeps running in the backround after closing it, it just lingers there, and when I try to restart firefox, it says that I have to close the current one or restart my system to clear the last firefox. what can I do, thanks...

    After the last update, my IBM Clone computer does not close the session of firefox when clicking on "close" it clears the screen back to the desktop but firefox continues to hang there in the backround and will not allow another session of firefox to start until the first session is closed. The only way to reconnect is to do a restart on my system, and then the old firefox session is closed and the new session will start.

    Must be the "hang at exit" problem. <br /><br />

  • I bought a used macbook air (newest model) with lion and when I try and install iPhoto it says "These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID. These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases "

    I am a new mac user so there is a lot that I don't yet know or understand.  The previous owner did a clean re-install of lion and my air is covered under warranty till August.  We called apple when I bought it to make sure it wasn't stolen and registered it to me. I am just trying to be able to transfer my pictures from my iphone to my air.  I also want to set up icloud which looks like it requires iphoto. Also, what are the other iLife apps?  I have a feeling I will encounter the same issues with those. Thanks for your help.

    If new versions of iPhoto and the other iLife applications (iMovie and GarageBand) were purchased by the previous owner from the Mac App Store, then they will be locked to the previous owner's Apple ID and cannot be transferred to you. You will have to re-purchase them under your own Apple ID.
    If this is an older MBA that came with Snow Leopard or an earlier version of Mac OS X, though, the system would have come with an installation disk that included the iLife applications, a disk which the seller should have provided to you. Those iLife applications would be older versions, of course, and may or may not work in Lion depending on how old they are.
    Regards.
