I have recently started syncing to iCloud on my laptop and iPad. It starts to sync and then stops and I get the message: you do not have permission to sync this folder. I do what it asks but cannot get past that folder? Help!

I have recently started using iCloud on my laptop syncing it with my iPad. When the syncing process starts it stops and gives me a message something like: You do not have permission to sync this folder. Then it wants me to unlock and gives other suggestions. I have done them all and still cannot get the syncing process past this folder. I is a folder in my documents. Anyone have any solutions?

I am trying to install itunes for my mobile, and I keep getting the message "You do not have administrator rights, please contact the system administrator to preform an update." I have it set as adminstrator as the user.

I am trying to install itunes for my mobile, and I keep getting the message "You do not have administrator rights, please contact the system administrator to preform an update." I have it set as adminstrator as the user. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. Help please?

Thanks, but I've done that several times & it still says I need administraive privileges. I had itunes installed with no problems until I did the latest update. After that it just disappeared, so I tried reinstalling. Now I can't sync my phone. This is so frustrating!

Please repost in the Final Cut Pro forum. Have you considered upgrading your machine, if you are still running Leopard your machine may be as old as 5 years old. While this should not matter you probably won't get the performance you want out of a demanding app like FCP.
Best of luck.

My problems started with an error 50 message when trying to download bought films. After un-installing and downloading iTunes, a number of times, I still cannot open iTunes on my PC and keep getting the message "you do not have permission to open"

I have removed all spyware, anti virus software and removed all iTunes programs - as suggested by Apple. I still cannot open iTunes on my PC because of the message "you do not have permission to open this file, folder"
I have changed and checked all permissions to allow this but still get the same message.
iTunes is located on my C drive and I now do not have the neccesary permissions to open it.

Hey Chris-
It has been some time since you posted this message and I see you haven't gotten any replies, but I have the same issue and I was wondering if you figured out how to resolve it. Hopefully you were able to figure it out.

When a Safari download is interrupted, I get the message "You do not have permission to access the requested resource" when I try to restart it.

I have had this issue with my Macbook Pro ever since I bought it in November. If I start downloading a file with Safari, and the download gets interrupted, I am unable to resume downloading from the point where it was interrupted. Clicking on "resume downloading" button in the downloads list works fine it I do it immediately after the download is interrupted, but if a little time has elapsed (as little as a few minutes) since the interruption it will not let me resume the download, and I get the message in the downloads list "You do not have permission to access the requested resource." I have repaired my permissions...I don't know what else to do. Here's my system configuration:
Macbook Pro Mid-2012 Retina Display
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB RAM
System 10.8.2
I just have to editorialize for a moment: My old Macbook Pro and my Mac Pro both worked great with Snow Leopard, but since upgrading the Mac Pro to Mountain Lion and buying the new Macbook I have had all kinds of issues like this. Tech support at Panic software, that I contacted because of issues with some of their software, told me that I was only one of many with Mountain Lion issues, but here we're over half a year since the release of 10.8 and we're only on system 10.8.2. Is anybody at Apple actually trying to fix the issues?
Thanks for anything you can tell me!

I'm trying to import a CD, but I'm getting the message, "You do not have the privilege to make changes."

I'm unable to import music to my new iMac. I put in the CD and it says that "an error occurred while converting the file. You do no have the privilege to make the changes."
Anyone have any help?

I recently purchased an external hard drive to back up my iMovies. When I try to open the movies on the backup I get a message "you may not have permission to modify that folder" How do I change permissions on the backup?

Hi
One Must NEVER move or alter any folders named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Projects - or - alike
on DESKTOP/FINDER - Ever ! - ONLY Within the iMovie Program ! else all connections are broken and hard to impossibly to mend !
but rather do as described here under
Moving Event's and Project's
Connection - Either connect one Mac in Target mode to the other via FireWire. Or use an external hard disk !
(Target-Mode - Start one Mac e.g. laptop - BUT keep T-key down during full up-start - Now a FW-symbol is jumping around the screen and it will work as an external hard disk when connected to the other Mac)
A. The External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work for Video. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things but not for Video whatever program is used (iMovie or FinalCut)
B. Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up
C. Do never Move or Alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - as this will result in iMovie losing connections to them and repair can be anything from hard to impossibly
D. Moving and Copying must be done within iMovie application and Events to Events - and - Project's to Project's.
E. Moving Project's to Event's - Do not work for me - I have to export project as a QuickTime movie then Import this into Events.
Event's window can show two faces
Like this
or like this
from one hard disk Event - You can move it to the other hard disk
You can not (at least not me) move Event to Project or other way around only
Event to Event and Project to Project

While trying to copy files using home sharing, get the error you do not have enough access privileges

I'm trying to use "Home Sharing" feature in iTunes to import files from another user on the same iMac. We have 5 users and one user is unable to import files from other users. We get the error "You do not have enough access privileges to perform this operation." All users are logged in using the same Apple ID and everyone else can import files. What gives?

Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back when I switched computers and migrated. Here's what worked on my iMac, so maybe it'll work on your iPad, too. Go to User(your home folder)/Music. Select/highlight your "Music" folder. Then do Command-I ("Get Info" from the File menu), click on the padlock icon in the lower right of the new window. Enter your user password. Click on your username just above the now-open padlock. Select "Read & Write" if it's on "Read Only," "Write Only," or "No Access." Now having your user account with "Read & Write" privileges (it may have been this way already; still do this next step), click on the gear on the bottom-center of that window. Click on "Apply to all enclosed items." When the pop-up says "Are you sure?" (or the equivalent), say "yes." This will grant access privileges to your user account for all the music files inside your music folder--all your iTunes stuff included). Then you should be good to go.

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message.

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message. It is more convenient for me to play videos in Quicktime since iTunes is such a memory hog. Please help.

You may get better results if you switch to this alternate version: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and, if needed, reinstall QuickTime. The new (nearly) all 64-bit version doesn't seem to play well with QuickTime. Perhaps if DRM authentication is required QuickTime needs to be able to see something that is part of the older 32-bit code.

Cannot update FB app on ipod touch, started getting the message you can not update this software since you have not owned the major version"

I've been having no problem updating apps on my ipod touch, but two days ago I started getting the above message, only for the FB update. I have deleted, reinstalled, reset -nothing helps. Apple support could not figure it out either, they said it's a 3rd party app (they did try to help me but nothing worked). The notification that there is an update won't go away as long as FB is on my ipod. Help!

When I try to update to Firefox 3.6.12 for Mac I get the message "You don't have the authority for some objects". I am the administrator.

I cannot install the Firefox 3.6.12 update because lack of authority. There are three user accounts in the computer. What object(s) can it be that interfere with the update?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I have updated firefox 2 times since the last upgrade, but when I open it I still get the message "You are not on the latest version of Firefox Upgrade Now". I have downloaded and installed it so I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

I am running Windows XP

This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

When trying to close one tab, i get the message "you are about to close 2 tabs" this is not what I want. I only want to close one tab at a time in English

I only want to close one tab at a time

ONLY 8 people have this problem?
Look, virtually all Mozilla's potential users are coming from Internet Exploder, which gets this ALMOST RIGHT, while FireF*x does it totally wrong. Including in webmail: there's no way I could have got to this forum without leaving 4 windows active or closing everything, including closing my mail without logging out.
ONLY 8 PEOPLE? How many thousand simply throw up their hands & uninstall yr f- nurdware over this one single issue? Not to bore you with details, but I'm hardly unsympathetic to open sources that don't look like the best argument for Micros**t and Google hegemony.
Btw, I said they get it -almost- right... It would be really nice if IE or >somebody< offered a checkbox to NEVER close multiple tabs. Look, if this bug disguised as a feature is useful to a few nurds by all means keep it as an advanced option, but PLEASE set up FireFox so it at least defaults to the real world.
