Quicktime can't update--permissions
I'm relatively new to mac, so patience please.
The software updater keeps indicating an upgrade to Quicktime which won't install b/c "The update can't be saved. You don't have the appropriate access priveleges." What's up with this? The other update available was an iMac EFI Firmware Update that gave no problems and yet for the QT update, it seems to be something I should need root or admin priveleges to do. Why is QT finicky?
thanx

Anyway, you can download standalone versions if the software updater isn't working, from:

If there's a permissions issue, you can try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.
