When I try to put Firefox in my applications folder a message says I don't have sufficient "privileges" to do certain things.
I have a MacBook operation system 10.5.8. I have been using Safari and wanted to upgrade to the Firefox 6 version. I do have an older version of Firefox in my applications folder which I agreed to "replace" when queried. But when I tried to put the version 6 to replace the older version, that's when I get the message about not having sufficient privileges to do that. Please help. Thanks.
It is better to download a new copy of the Firefox program from:
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.

I have version 6.0. I downloaded the latest version. When I move the icon to the applications folder I get a message asking if I wish to replace the older version. When I say yes, I get a message saying I don't have "sufficient privileges for some of the items."

When someone complains that their music upload stalls I immediately think of three problems:
1) corrupt song(s)
2) bad cable
3) bad hard drive
The list is actually in reverse order of my expectations. Since you were able to format the drive it obviously hasn't suffered a hard crash but there might be a very large number of bad sectors. Go here to see how to put the iPod into diagnostic mode so you can further check the drive.
If the drive passes muster borrow another cable. And finally, create a playlist and verify that each song is good by playing it. See if it will sync. If it does, add more songs (verified good). Keep repeating. -
when i try to open itunes i now get an error message saying i do not have the required components installed error number 45075?
Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7 -
I'm trying to update Firefox on my Macbook Pro, and it says I don't have sufficient priviledges, and I don't know how to fix that!

MBP = MacBookPro
Are there other accounts? Is it possible Firefox was installed on one of them?
Have you run Repair Permissions? -
I have no other accounts.
If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have other problems with updating to update then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

I've tried to download the most current Firefox and it downloaded but I can't save it to my apps or use it due to this error message:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." Not sure what to do now?Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.x can be found here:

none.
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.

What can I do to resolve this annoying problem?
VinceTom:
I finally backed up the iPad to the laptop and deleted everything on the iPad and restored from back up. That cured the problem.

I have the ICloud icon on my PC - Windows 7 - and the program. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?
You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

When I try to play videos on Apple's website, "missing plug-ins" appears. The same happens when I try to play Apple trailers. Other "users" on the same iMac don't have this problem.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Your solution worked straight away. I've been battling with this for weeks'
Thank you again. :-)) -
when I try to open my e-books I get a message saying it can't be done because the license key is damaged. How do I either fix this or get my money back. This is very frustrating and I will probably never buy an e-book again.
Go back to the earlier version 1.72 After wasting 2 days on the problem this solved it. This is thanks to another user - no thanks to Adobe.
