When I try to upgrade to a newer version I get an "Administrator" login
I had a virus and un-installed Firefox. Finally was able to re-install but only an older version. It keeps telling me I need to upgrade but an "Administrator" permission thing comes up and I'm not able to do an upgrade. In the meantime, Firefox keeps crashing on me.
No. No problem in update. Go to apple menu>software update.
Whats your safari version?

Any version of Firefox above 3.5.4 I try to install will not let me get to the internet. Each Firefox gets upgraded it keeps giving me the error message that "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." Then I need to re-install 3.5.4 to get to the internet. This is driving me nuts! How do I fix this?
You're welcome

I have recently dropped Earthink as me dial-up provider. I now am using Virgin Mobile Broadband2GO. I was using Safari. I am now using Yahoo! Mail Plus. It suggested I switch to Firefox. I had an older version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and started using it. It suggested I needed to upgrade because many of the newer web sites wouldn't work well on this older version. I downloaded the newer version and proceeded with the installation and it would tell me this: '''The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.''' I have re-downloaded and tried it again two more times. I haven't a clue what that means or what to do about it.
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 DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.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
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Even when I try to restore 4.0, I get the same message, No matter how many times I restart, I get the same message. The upshot: I no longer can use Firefox.
Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click firefox.exe: Run as Administrator).<br />
If that doesn't solve the problem then remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 9.0.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 in the profile folder.
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.

I'm guessing it has to do w/ a software issue on this old pc of mine, but it is so frustrating that I no long update anything or access anything, not to mention that my iphone has been updated and can no longer talk to the computer.

You can try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window - See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences -
System dumps when i try to upgrade from any bootcamp version greater than 3.2 any solutions?
late 2009 quadcor i7 running mountain lion and win7 pro 64 bit. No multiple display adapters in the device manager and no hardware conflicts. I'm getting the blue screen of death system dump which won't even allow me to reboot in safemode.
Firefox 4+ versions aren't compatible with the Power PC architecture, they need an Intel chip.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

I'm trying to upgrade Logoc Pro 9.0 academic version to 9.1.7 to use on a new MacBook pro. When I try to do incremental upgrades to 9.0.1 or 9.0.2 it says I don't need them. When I try to upgrade to 9.1.7 it says there is no version eligible to upgrade. This all on the older MacBook currentlu running 9.0. But I need to upgrade to 9.1.7 to transfer it over tp the new MacBook w/ Retina display.
I think I just got it. I had the actual Logic Pro.app in a folder called Logic Pro inside the applications folder. When I moved the actual app out of the folder and into applications it worked. I am in the process of updating now. However it seems a little strange because that's how it installed from the discs - into a folder named Logic Pro within the applications folder. I would never have figured that out on my own. So thanks for those who posted solutions to other users similar requests.

Trying to connect my iPhone6 to my old iMac with 10.6.8 MacOS, and synch up the music. It says I need a new version of iTunes. When I try to upgrade the iTunes on my iMac, it says, it is already the latest version. What do I do now?
The current version of iTunes is 12.x.x and requires OS X later than Snow Leopard.

I need HELP switching to iCloud. So many obstacles. . I've upgrade my iPhone software to iOS5 (now I have to get the software in my car upgraded because the iPHone won't play music through the system...another subject.) For iCloud on my Macbook, when I try to upgrade my Macbook software OS 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2 (required for iCloud) it says I need "Core 2, Duo, Core i3, i5, i7, or Xeon processor. Does this mean I need a new computer!!! I 2 Ghz Intel core duo is what I have (a 2006, really, macbook -- which I use with a large screen). (How do I find the answer here? -- any answers there would be SOOOO appreciated) thank you!
<Email Edited by Host>It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. You should not expect people to email you - this is an open forum.
I'm afraid your Mac cannot be upgraded to Lion, and thus is not compliant with iCloud. The only option you have there is to set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email, but the other facilities won't work.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard -

I want to upgrade the software (currently I have Mac OS X 10.6.4) but when the mac is downloading the new version i get an error message and is not possible get the most updated software: Mac OS X 10.6.8 or either the most recent itunes why?!?!?!
Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.
