Upgraded to 10.3.1.55, now can't set iT as default player,"An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How to fix?
After I upgraded iTunes, iTunes doesn't recognize CD in the drive, apparently isn't the default player. It won't let me set iTunes as the default player, I get the error message "An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types." I tried Whitesides' remedy (changing Read Only status in folder in Windows) but it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. is preventing my iPhone from syncing. How do I fix it? I have changed permissions until blue in the face. What is going on? Why is this so hard? I just want to sync my phone.
A little background. My iTunes library is in a shared folder. My Aperture library is on a .DMG in the shared folder with "ignore permissions on this volume" checked. I have added myself with read and write privileges to everything that I can find. What gives? Thanks in advance.PC, windows7, iphone4, updated iphone (5.0.1) and itunes (10.5.2.11) software. Started getting "iphone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" message.
Solution I found that worked: Uncheck "Sync photos from Iphone" in Itunes / Devices / Photos tab. -

I'm trying to sync my iPhone 4s to my Mac iTunes. My whole libary: music, movies, etc is only 26 gb but when I press the sync button I am prompted that I do not have enough space I need an extre 22 gb. So I thought if I were to restore it, it would help, but yet I am prompted with this message. I am just running into one wall after another and I need some help.

For error -50: See error 13 and 14:
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.

Error msg You do not have enough access privilegas for this operation
Am trying to sync my iphone 4s this is the msg am getting:
The iphone K15KUS cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privilegas for this operationI have a similar issue. I can update the music library but iTunes is trying ot automatically update the software on the iPod to v1.2 but I get an error message saying that I do not have the access privileges on this account. I have changed this account to be an Administrator, restarted but still that doesn't resolve my issue. Is it really necessary to have set up a separate profile for this different iPod? (I use two iPods on the same computer, my wife's and mine and set up different profiles with a shared music library). I would like to update the software on this particular iPod but it won't let me.

ERROR You do not have enough access privileges / Music Folder Permissions
OS...W XP iTunes 7.6.2.9 HP. Classic 60 GB HP iPod. I have this error when I try to import some CD's. Am trying to import a brand new cd I just bought and error reads...
*"Error occured while converting the file "Large Time" ( or whatever the 1st songs name may be). You do not have enough ACCESS PRIVILEGES for this operation.*
iTunes could not save your music folder because you do not have write access. Check permissions on your Music folder and folders in your Music Folder, then try converting this file again".
Well I've tried every way I can think to check the permissions and am clueless. I do know that after going through my pc settings for folders, that after some time, I was able to save the last playlist and sync it. I've no idea why, but I do know I have this problem frequently. And it's BAaaaack.
If you find or have the answer please post...ty. MP3 players seem more user friendly, using WMP, but this iPod was more for the money.

Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed. -
"The iPod cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges..."
Okay, so, as of today, my iPod refuses to sync. I keep getting this error message:
"The iPod <name> cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
If I hit 'OK' the sync appears to carry on, but checking my iPod the new song I have (which I got after the first time this happened, so that isn't the cause) isn't on there.
I have already looked around the forum and seen several similar threads, but I tried deleting my iPod photo cache (which seemed to work for everyone else) and that didn't work.
I also have my laptop set up to run a virus scan on a device every time it is plugged in and for some reason the scan on my iPod gets stuck at 83% every time.
Any ideas?
I don't know a lot about computers, but if there's anything else you need to know I'll tell you if I can.

I had the same error message. The problem turned out to be related to me syncing pictures.
When I elected to sync pictures, iTunes presented me with several folders and I chose to sync all of them. Later I realised that those folders actually belonged to another account on the same PC (an administrator account). Consequently I did not have access privileges to copy them onto the iPod.
When I deselected the picture folders that did not belong to my account, the problem went away. -
I'm getting a message that reads 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Why is this? And how can I fix it? I'm worried that I'm going to lose my entire library because of this.
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! -
