trouble installing update

danimal · 05-03-2010, 04:59 PM

I am trying to install the most recent version of Calibre on my Mac (snow leopard) using an administrator account, but when I copy it to applications folder and authorize the overwrite of the previous version, I get this error message:

The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.

Not sure why this is happening. I did try to repair permissions, but that didn't help.

delete/rename the old version first.
