Windows has insufficient amount of access to your computer to the printer.
hey everyone, i may sound pretty cheerful but i am quite frustrated, and thats why i appreciate your help alot. I have read the related discussions and the support for the exact same problem that apple has supplied, although it didn't work. I have a 2007 imac, and have a samsung ML-2510 printer connected to it via usb. I have it shared on the Mac's system preferences, i did take apple's advice and make sure the name is less then 40 characters. I now have a lynksis 54G router (with speed boster, if that makes a difference) and i have tried port forwarding. I have it starting at port 5353 on the router for the IP of the Laptop, but not for the mac(also wondering if that would make a difference). I have tried uninstalling and re-installing many...many times (of bonjour that is) and still no outcome on the laptop. I have also turned my pc-cillian firewall off but it has made no difference. The funny thing is that I had this laptop printing to the mac just a month ago, then stupid me uninstalled the program because we hooked it up to a PC again for the printer to be shared. I really am tired of trying to find a fix and you can probably tell that i am tired from my mumbling but i would really appreciate any input on your past experiences with bonjour. thanks
I had this problem to, in my case it's because I'm on Vista Business 64-bit edition.
Helpfully, the 64bit download on the Apple support site is wrong and instead downloads the 32bit edition which cannot add the printer. To rectify this you need to download Bonjour64Setup.exe which is linked to from www.start64.com

I am using windows 7 professional operating system. I am unable to update to itunes 10.7. I received this error message: The installer has insufficient priveleges to access this directory
Okay.
The message can also be consistent with disk/file damage.
The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
i can't update my itunes and it shows me this message: The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:/program files/itunes. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator
Hello PamelaFox14,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you need to log in as the administrator to update the iTunes application properly.
Take a look at this article named:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
This section in particular:
1. Make sure you have administrator account access
To install iTunes or QuickTime software, you need to be logged in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure if you have administrator account access, you may find this Microsoft article helpful:
Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?
Otherwise, refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.
All the best,

I am trying to install iTunes 10.7 and keep getting this error message (I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit):

I've had iTunes on my PC forever. Because recent updates have aborted with the message:"The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory... Log on as administrator," I am now attempting to download a fresh copy from the Apple website. Same message! I am logged on as administrator. I can download, then attempt to run by right-clicking on the installer and selecting, "Run as administrator" but that gets me only to the same point (and message) as attempting to install directly from the internet. I've never seen this message with any other download. What gives?
What's the precise name of the directory being mentioned? (Give the full file path, please.)

Installer has insufficient priviledges to access this directory
OMG.........I am ready to throw my PC, and IPHONE through the window. I am having issues with my ITUNES. I deleted everything possible to ITUNES and APPLE and now that I am reinstalling ITUNES, I am getting this error message.
This is the error message that I am getting:
The installer has insufficient priviledges to access this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\PictureViewer.Resources\da.lproj. The installation cannot continue. Log on as adminstrator or contact your system adminstrator.
I have one Computer - with Windows Vista and I dont know how to log into it as the adminstrator...I am lose and need some help, PLEASE!!The installer has insufficient priviledges to access this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\PictureViewer.Resources\da.lproj. The installation cannot continue. Log on as adminstrator or contact your system adminstrator.
That one can indicate file/disk damage. So the first thing I'd try would be running a disk check on the C drive.
There's instructions in the following document. Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
[Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]
Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, reboot the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I am trying to download the newest version of ITunes. When I try the download, it starts and after a bit the following message appears "The installer has insufficient priviledges to access this directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Start\Menu\Programs\ITunes The installation can not continue...."
Can someone please help?
Thanks,
I'm Always ConfusedB Noir --
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your taking the time to help me with this problem. I'm doing a healing technician training class at my church, and have most of my study material on my ipod. It cashed this weekend which hindered my preparation for my class tomorrow night. I went to the local "Apple Store" late last night and they could get me up and running. They suggested that I call the APL CARD line which I did today, but they gave me a nice run around seccession, and did nothing. Then I was lead to "Google" my question, which eventually lead me to the "Apple" site. Praise the LORD for your help and may you be richly blessed with multiplied blessings in all that you put your hands to do. May you receive a great harvest. As far as I'm concerned you were used by the LORD, and are the real genius!!!
Thanks

Adobe Error 1303. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory:
Adobe Error 1303. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Programs Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0 when trying to update Adobe Reader 10.01 on a Windows 7, 64-bit machine. What I've found is that once I allow Adobe Updater to download updates, the 1.0 folder is created under ARM. As long as I don't start the update, I can access this folder. Once the update starts, if I try to access this folder I get an access denied message and the install fails with the Error 1303 message. I've tried making myself the Owner of the folder, tried running KB947821, have disabled the Firewall and shut off the UAC, none of which works. My guess is that there is a problem with the update itself changing the security.
Anyone have any other ideas beyond waiting for the next update, that will hopefully work better than this one?
thanks!

Installer has insufficient priviledges to access directory...
When installing 9.0, I get all the way to the end then get an error stating
"Error 1303: The installer has insufficient priviledges to access this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\Font\PFM. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator."
Sounds easy enough, but I already am logged on as the administrator. This is my personal computer and I have the only user account on the system. It lists my user account as the administrator. Being the only user account on the system, it's impossible to NOT be the administrator anyway.
What am I missing? The previous version of Reader has disappeared and I cannot view any PDF files. I am using Vista as my OS on an HP Pavillion Entertainment PC (laptop).
Thanks for any suggestions you might be able to offer...
DeniseI am having the same error on Vista and, like you, I am an administrator (it's my personal laptop). I followed the instructions here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329117.html
...(not noticing that that solution addressed the Program Data folder, not the Program Files folder), and it didn't work, but I wonder if a similar procedure on Program Files would work. But I don't know anything about theVista security system, so I'm a little wary of trying it. Would appreciate any thoughts.
