My system doesn't let me drag the icon from firefox to the applications. I get a note that I have insufficint privileges.

Mac OS X 10.5.8
Admin user
When I drag the Firefox 9.0.1 icon for my folder of the application, the system wonder if I want to replace the old version. When I toggle "Yes", I get a warning that I don't have sufficient privileges to complete the operation.

If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

  • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
  • Install the new version you downloaded

Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

  • Just installed Firefox on a Mac under OS x 10.6.8 - 7.0.1 installation disc remains an icon on the desktop and whenever I run, Firefox opens a window asking me to drag the icon from Firefox to my Applications folder. How do I get this to go?

    I installed the app in my applications folder and everything works perfectly. But normally, after you have installed a browser, the installation disk icon that appears on your desktop can be ejected or removed without. Mine is back...

    Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.

    Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.

    You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

  • Newbie question: Dimension of the hierarchy doesn't let me drag columns to levels

    Help.

    I am installing a new Dimension of the hierarchy in my repository OBIEE. It allows me to create a new dimension, and to set up the levels, but then it doesn't let me drag the columns above. I missed a step somewhere, but I don't know what.

    Steps to create a hierarchy of Dimension - >
    Create a dimension object.
    Add a parent level object.
    Add objects of child level.
    Determine the number of items.
    Specify level columns. -C' is where I'm stuck. I can drag columns from the fact, but not the size.
    Create level keys.

    B

    You can take the dimension columns from the dimesnion on which you created the hierarchy. You cannot extract columns of two dimensions in a hierarchy...

    Try to rebuild the hierarchy. Right-click on the dimension table and select Create dimension. All the columns in this dimension will be appera in the hierarchy. Then, you can create different levels and can drag columns of fall of hierarchy itself.

    Kind regards

  • Adobe Muse doesn't let me change the States of thumbnails in a lightbox.

    Muse doesn't let me change the States of thumbnails for my lightbox. The only thing that it is allowing me to do the right now is to change the opacity of each State. I would like to than the 'normal' State of my nail of the thumb to be a solid color, the "Rollover" State to reveal the image that is displayed in the Viewer, the State of "mouse down" to be another solid color and the 'active' State of being of the same color together as a 'normal' State I changed the color, and I even tried to fill it with a real image with a solid color file. Nothing will work - the State remains just to display the main images in the thumbnails. I would appreciate help! I don't understand why it won't work. States work for everything else.

    Hello

    With startup, if you add a picture as a thumbnail then it could appear as hero image.

    We cannot install according to States with the thumbnails of the images, any image or fill added to the would be added as a background image. You can change the image of the active panel, but still we can not install different images with the States.

    Better idea would be to use the composition where you can set up reports for the triggers and the images separate targets.

    Thank you

However, when I have access to the program, I get a message that there is an update available, 13.1. I let him go ahead and do the update before using the program. It only updated, then restarts first elements 13. As soon as the program loads, I again get the message that 13.1 update is available. How to stop the happy ground?

    RTA,

    Thank you very much for your answers. As you suggest, I went to the help/updates and found that 3 points were scored update, Manager, 13 Photoshop and first elements 13 elements. On a hunch, instead uncheck one of them, I thought I'd see what would happen to let update all 3. It took a while, but, long story short, stopped the happy Vangogh and everything seems fine. Thank you for your messages, much appreciated.    Walt Maken

  • Error "the application"Steam.app"is not open more."

    I use Steam to play games, I recently installed Trove which began to hang Steam (and not run) rarely when I clicked on the play button.

    Sometimes, when Steam closes (or hangs in my case), when I try to open it again, it gives me an error "the application"Steam.app"is not open more.". It can be fixed by restarting, but it's boring and useless. How can I fix it?

    Restart the computer in safe mode. Some caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.

    Safe mode is much slower to start up as normal. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    If you use no FileVault 2 in OS X 10.7 ("Lion") or later version, you can restart as usual (not in safe mode) when the login screen appears. There is no need to log on in safe mode.

    If you use FileVault 2 in OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan") or later version, or if you don't know if use you it, you as usual then connect in safe mode, and then restart (not in safe mode.)

    If you use FileVault 2 in OS X 10.9 ("Swat") or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you cannot start in safe mode. In this case, request further instructions.
