2006 inherited iMac privileges issue

1

I recently got my grandpa's old iMac from 2006. I made my account, made it an admin, and deleted his. I put 10.5.1 on it since it had 10.4 before. Now when I try to get the update, it says I don't have sufficient privileges. I don't know why this would be. I have 512Mb ram if that has anything to do with it. I'm also having other issues with privileges, like writing to and partitioning my external hard drive.

Have you tried repairing permissions since the install? If software update is failing, have you tried downloading the combo update and installing that? – JRobert – 2011-05-11T22:21:27.433

Fixed it. Something went wrong during the 10.5 install and I had to get it erase installed. – JShoe – 2011-05-12T20:06:21.683

Glad it's working now, thanks for the update. – JRobert – 2011-05-12T23:14:17.383

Something had gone wrong during the installation of the new OS. Had to get an erase install.
