 * When I try to update Jetpack, it fails claiming the permissions are wrong.
    How
   should I correct this problem?

 * Could you try to log in to your site via FTP or CPanel, and delete the existing
   Jetpack plugin folder, and reinstall the plugin manually as explained here:
    
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation](http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation)
 * You’ll find the Jetpack plugin folder here:
 *     ```
       wp-content
          plugins
            jetpack - DELETE THIS FOLDER
       ```
   
 * If you’re not sure how to do this, you can ask your hosting company for help.
   They should also have documentation explaining how to edit or remove files from
   your site using FTP or a File Manager in your admin panel.
 * Let me know how it goes.
