Go to Applications/Utilities/ and launch Disk Utility... Then click on the First Aid panel, select your volume (normally named Macintosh HD) and then click on repair disk permission...

I did what Tetano told

but the result still remain the same.

when i drag the AdiumX into the application folder.

it says there's already an AdiumX, want to stop or replace.

then i choose Replace.

the actual message is :

the operation cannot be complete because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.


How can i solve this?

thanks~ ^.^

Can you select the Application folder, then click [apple]+[i] and report what you see in the Ownership and Permission pane?

Try trashing the Adium now in the Apps folder, then put the new one in.
