Don't have appropriate permissions to uninstall the extension? (Guide)

I get this message:

"you don't have appropriate permissions to perform this operation adobe site: forums.adobe.com.

When I try to uninstall the extensions Manager GuideGuide extension.


The extension stopped working after that, recently, they have released a new update, so I went to day, only to be told that I need to remove the old in order to install a new one. Okay, all right. Then I go to remove it, and I get the above error. I certainly do not have the permissions! I am the administrator! Why don't the extensions manager who knows?

So, what should I do? Is there a way to manually remove the extension? Currently, I'm re - install the extensions Manager in the hope that it works.

For others with a similar problem, they did turn windows and just need to "run as Administrator", but for me, being on a mac... It seems that this is a rare problem.

Thanks Adobe Community!

I am running CS5 (or 5.1?)

One thing you should know: you are administrator doesn't mean you run applications automatically have administrator privileges, regardless of the Windows or Mac. You must explicitly specify the OS (Windows or Mac) to run applications as an administrator. on Mac, the sudo command must be used.

1. run "/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app.

2. Enter the following commnad, then press 'return '.

sudo "/ Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS5/Adobe Extension Manager CS5.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Extension Manager CS5»

3. Enter your administrator password, and then press the 'return '.

BTW, characteristic of escalation of privilege introduced in CS5.5. So in CS5.5 and later versions, you don't have to run 'EM in this way.

  • Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello

    I recently changed to use AVG free Antivirus Vista 2010 edition and since then (next day) seems to be locked out almost everything on the computer other then IE.  Open any kind of .exe translates into "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item. "I can access the Control Panel, but when I try to run something (a user restore Sys account) nothing happens or I get the same error.  I can not even access/cmd?

    Operating system is vista 64 bit home premium
    Computer has 1 which is defined as administrator SP1
    Tried to do a restore of the system in normal mode and safe, the two will not start.

    I have a feeling I know what the problem is, that when you look at the properties > Security "Progam files" in the 5 groupnames user administrator has not enabled in the lower area of permissions?  Guess a virus has locked all accounts to use the machine key files? (When editing and allowing the admin to have full control etc. in written authorization, I get an "access denied" Message.)  Be honest this really problems out of my PC knowledge, I would usually just reformat if I hit I can't solve a problem, but this time reformating is not the best option.

    Thanks in advance for any help, I would really appreciate it, it left me speechless!

    PS. read through the similar questions and have used the "fix windows' programs, with nothing working or me being not able to access something used.

    Hi Dany88,

    First of all, I would say that you uninstall security antivirus vista 2010 of computer software, since there are several questions on the computer after installing. This software may have created conflicts between other programs on the computer.

    As you face problems to access items from 'Control panel', I would say you visit the security software vendor's Web site and search a tool of suppression using which you can uninstall the software.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If questions are set after uninstalling security software, I suggest that you change the security antivirus vista to some else software or contact the vendor of the software for more information.

    I would also say that you are investigating the computer by using the methods mentioned in the link below.

  • Receives the following message after opening a downloaded game: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello!
    So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

    We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

    If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello Heathie,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.

    Please let me know if this helps you.

    The thing is I had this game on this laptop before and worked fine.

    But every time that there is a update for the game, you have to uninstall it and then reinstall it.

    What is the problem?

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    You can try to temporarily disable the antivirus program and check the results. It can also occur if you have not enough permission to run the file.

    Caution:

    Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
