Insufficient access privileges for operation Logic Pro

What means "Insufficient access privileges for operation" when I try to open a *.logic file in a new track?

Is it a project file or template you are trying to save? The Autoload song? I'm no guru or anything, but try saving it in a totally different location, specifically, within your user domain or the Macintosh HD domain--maybe one or the other will allow you to save (for example, if you are currently trying to save your song in a place within your user domain, instead make a folder in Macintosh HD for all your Logic songs, etc.) If you keep Logic songs in the Library->Application Support->Logic folder, either in the user or HD library, that folder can be temperamental anyway. Actually, the less complicated your song and audio file's locations are, you might get an edge in application performance.
OK, finally, try running this nifty new program (it's really more like an automation script), "Maintenance 3.7" (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/maintenance.html). It may repair errors in permissions, etc.
Maybe that stuff will work and someone wiser than I will respond to your post!
Good luck!
Best,
Tim

"Code -5000--- "insufficient access privileges for operation"

I use a M-Audio Ozonic, Digidesign Mbox, and a BCF2000 logic control.
Whenever I try to initiate an audio recording, this message pops up
"Insufficient access privileges for operation
Result code = -5000"
Has anyone encountered this. This is a new issue. has never happened before.
17" iMac G5 1.6 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GB RAM w/ Logic express 7, Garageband, ProTools 6.4 LE w/ software bundle & Mbox. Ozonic, BCF2000

Did you upgrade os x or create a new user?
Select the folder icon here you save your audio projects and type Command I to open the information panel, then verify if you are the owner of the disk and if you have read/write permissions.

"Insufficient access privileges for operation" Export Error

I have been working on a very important project in iMovie 09 and I went to go export it into quicktime format, and I get an error that says "The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (Insufficient access privileges for operation )"
I have the video files on an external drive, and I know based on the error message that it has something to do with the privileges of the video files. I just don't know how to fix it. Hopefully you can help!
Thanks

This may not be your problem, but you may want to check. By default, permissions are ignored on external volumes. Select the external volume with your video files on it and go to File --> Get Info. At the bottom of that window, make sure that "Ignore ownership on this volume" is checked. If it is not, check it. (You may have to click the "lock" and supply your administrator password first.)
If it is checked, then the conflict is with some other file(s), in which case, someone else will have to help you with that.

Insufficient Access Privileges ( = 5000) in Logic X on Mavericks.

My project file is "Read & Write". After searching the boards, I ran Disk Utilities. I copied the project to other names on other external disk drives. All to no avail. I still can't edit the audio/sample. While my new Mac Pro is in the shop, I am running this on an older MacBook Pro if that helps. Frustrating!

Ah.. a corupted project then... That could easily explain things too, as you discovered..
Glad you got it sorted out and of course, thanks for letting us know the resolution...
Cheers..

Error -5000 Insufficient Access Privileges - Can anyone help?

Hi, I have been using logic since version 4.1 and have never had this problem. About 50% of the files I import or audio I record have problems when using the Audio editor in logic.. I can't do simple things like Normalize, Fade in/out/, Gain, Time & Pitch etc... All i keep getting back is 'Error -5000 Insufficient Access Privileges For Operation'. I've checked the files are on read & write however I cannot figure out why it will not let me do anything to the audio.. Any advice appreciated! Kai P.S I've updated to the latest Version of Logic Pro 7.2

You should run "repair permissions" for your hard drives.
Check the Apple Help manual on exactly how to do this,it's not hard to do.
This is not a Logic Issue,but a file management issue...Access privileges is a term to describe what access level you have on each file on your computer.If you don't have write access,you cannot edit the file.
I hope this helps,

Error when changing BPM: "Insufficient access privileges"

Hello, Logic Express gurus:
I am just a lowly fitness instructor trying to mix her own music (self taught DJ). When changing the BPM here's what I do:
I double click on the song track, then from the window that pops up, I click on the "Factory" pull down menu, then choose "Temp and Pitch Machine". When I change the BPM to the desired tempo and click "Process & Paste", I get the following error:
"Insufficient access privileges for operation (Result code -5000)", then another error stating:
"Error when creating temp file!"
It used to work beautifully. Can anyone assist me? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Matt. I tried your suggestion, but it did not make a difference in the tempo. I am bringing in MPEGs, by the way.
My method was working fine until I began getting this error message. Any further suggestions from you or anyone?

Import refused from file: "Insufficient access privileges"

Trying to import file into iMovie 09, get dialog: "(Insufficient access privileges for operation )"
Anyone know what that might mean?

I believe JVT is not a supported format in iMovie.
If you have QuickTime Pro, transcode your file by exporting and choosing the following settings:
1. File/Export
2. in Export choose "Movie to QuickTime Movie
3. Click Options
4. In Movie Settings for Video Choose AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec)
5. Size: 1280x720
6. Sound Settings: Format Linear PCM - Channel Stereo (but your file is mono... so I guess leave it at that) - Quality: Normal - Linear PCM Settings: Sample Size: 16 - Little Endian
After you exported this file, import it to iMovie '09.
(JVT, Joint Video Team was created by the union of two groups the ITU group taht started by creating H.26L back in the 90s and the MPEG group.)

I have a new PC and I am getting the message "The iTunes Library File cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I am the only one using this PC and I have Windows 7 Pro and have an administrator account. Help

Can anyone help me with this problem. ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC. I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC. I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem. I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account. Can anyone help?

A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages. It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

HT1386 I get an error message when I try to sync my iPod touch - "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

I recently installed a new hard drive on my PC, downloaded iTunes, updated the software on my iPod touch and now I get this error message when I try to sync: "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation." It never did this before, whether it's the upgrade in software or something in iTunes, but it's very frustrating, since I'd like to add more things to my iPod.

How do i resolve my itunes from saying " The itunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."

Everytime i click to go to my itunes, the message "The Itunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." pops up. I have tried my best to fix it by adding another account to my computer and setting that one as the administator and mine as the regular user. When i did that the itunes worked on both, but when i changed my account back to administator and the other account to the regular user my account didnt work but the other one did. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes. This message popped up when i tried to update the itunes to the newest one. And still it wont go away. Can someone help me please. Thanks!
