I don't have Universal Access in my system preferences?

I recently upgraded my mac operating system and I want to change my F4 key to Launchpad.
Anyway. I need to 'enable assistive devices' in order to use a program that will let me do that. I don't have a Universal Access pane in system preferences though. Any ideas where it could have gone to? I am pretty sure it use to be there.

If you're running 10.7.4 as your profile shows, select View ▹ Customize from the System Preferences menu bar. If the missing item appears, check the box next to its icon, then click Done.
If you're running 10.8, open the Accessibility preference pane.

HT1386 HELP!!! I cannot sync my iPhone to iTunes. The message says I don't have enough access privelages. And I cannot drag/drop any songs into my device. After updating, I have no music content on my phone. Please, can somebody tell me how to fix this?

Can someone please help me? I cannot sync my phone with iTunes after updating the software, & my phone has no music. The message window keeps saying I don't have enough access privelages. It also won't recognize my new subscription to iCoud when I turn on iMatch in Settings. I have tried everything I can think of & am ready to throw this thing out of the window in frustration.

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

I cannot sync my iphone. My computer gives me a message that says, "I don't have enough access privileges". After an internet search, one site said that I need to delete my photo cache. How do I resolve this, and is it wise to sync?

Hey Tipa1,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having an issue with iTunes due to permissions. The following article is related to the symptoms you described:

What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

Thanks C F McBlob but I recursively changed the permissions of my Music directory meaning every file and directory beneath it, as well as the directory itself, had the write permissions added.
I used "chmod -R u+w ./Music" and chmod -R g+w ./Music" to do it.
Alas, no cigar. :-(

Is there a way that articles opened in Safari can be saved to read off line? Sometimes they are there when I opened Safari but other times I get the message that the page can't be found because I don't have Internet access.

When I get on to on to Itunes it says "You don't have enough access privileges for this operation" and I can't buy music either. How do I fix this?

when I go into my Itunes now it tells me that " You don't have enough access privileges for this eperation" which is causing me other issues with buying my music too. " Could't download purchase........" something like media file and stuff. Does anyone have a solution to this problem. This is my mom's old macbook pro and have never had a problem before. Just down loaded the new updated Itunes today but that didn't help anything. Please help. Thank you

Hey veo1,
I found the following information about that error message:
These messages occur if permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or on a folder inside your designated music folder. Permissions are settings that determine who can read, write to, or execute a file or folder on your computer. Every file and folder on your hard disk has an associated set of permissions.

I can't download anything my purchase and get message that says I don't have write access in itunes

I am trying to downlaod music from itunes for the first time and get an error message iTunes couldn't download your purchase. You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions in the finder and then choose store check for available downloads.
I have done all of this ... made sure that they are writeable and still having problems. Any suggestions would help. Thanks!

check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings if necessary. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
the important part is to apply to enclosed items !

"You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder..."

My daughter is trying to import CD's into her library. Some work fine but most won't load and she gets a message stating "You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions, select your iTunes Media folder in the Finder, and choose File>Get Info."
Following those directions the iTunes Info window appears and at the bottom her user name appears with the privilege as Read and Write. Clicking on the little gear icon below we select Apply to Enclosed Items. A message pops up stating "Are you sure you want to apply the selected owner, group and permissions to all the enclosed items?" Clicking ok a status bar pops up showing "Applying permissions to iTunes".
No changes occur in the issue we're having. This only occurs on her user.

If you have problems importing CDs with iTunes because of write access errors, you can do the following to reset the permissions to the Music folder for your user/s where the iTunes subfolders are typically located:
Open Finder
Macintosh HD
Users
Open the folder for your User
Music
Right click > Get Info
Bottom right hand side, unlock the padlock, entering your user's password
Under Sharing & Permissions, ensure all relevant users have Read & Write, including Staff
Then, click on the main user (you), then go to lower left hand side, click on the settings cog, and press Apply to enclosed items.

"You don't have write access"

I'm trying to import a CD into my iTunes, and it tells me, "You don't have write access for your iTunes Media Folder or a folder within it. To change permissions..." blah blah blah.
I've tried a few things I've googled, but nothing has worked. I think it has to do with a specific band, because it only happens with their CD's. I've tried changing permissions on all the folders, but it didn't work.
Help?

unless you've done so already, check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !

Don't have write access

everytime I try importing a cd, I get an error that say: (song name) can't be converted. you don't have write access. I have followed the steps provided: 1) click on it in finder, 2) click get info, 3) change permission (also putting in my password for my mac at this time), 4) give myseld read and write acess) 5) click to close lock. I have also then tried restarting iTunes and then my computer. It did not give me the option to "apply" the changes. aka it wasn't even listed there. What do I do? This is so frustrating. I'm up to date will all my updates and am running the most current version of iTunes available for my Macbook Pro, 11.0.1(12). This is what is say when I click about iTunes in the menu.

Does your "/Users/Shared" folder exist? If not , recreate it with the correct permissions, see this document:
