After implementing iTunes Match I can't make updates or watch my movies bc of error message "you do not have write access".

After purchasing and implementing iTunes match I can't watch a bunch of my movies and I can't update my apps because of an error message stating that I do not have "write access" or another error message stating that I don't have correct permissions.  I have checked that I have both read and write permissions on literally every single folder on  my computer. I quadruple-checked actually. 
From looking through forums it seems a lot of people are having this problem with the only suggestion being to fix permissions.  Anyone have any other suggestions?  I just want to be able to watch the movies I paid for!!

Could you give us a little more information?  Where are your movies stored?  On  your iMac?  How are you trying to watch them, through iTunes?  Have you tried to watch them with Match turned off?
Just to be clear, iTunes Match does not accept movies for uploading, only music files.  It will give you access to music videos you've purchased through iTunes though.

  • What does this mean? iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons"

    Can anyone help me please? My iphone originally was linked to my PC. I downloaded over 3,000 pictures from my PC to my iphone. Since then my PC broke and now I have a macbook pro and the macbook doesn't recognize all the pictures from my pc. I get the following message.
    -iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "Daniel's iPhone" because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons".

    Hi,
    I picked up on this Post as I was searching for "iChat" in non iChat places.
    A Mac will contain a Folder for "iChat Icons"
    It is kept in Hard Drive/System/Library/Application Support/iChat icons
    There are about 9 sub folders here including Planets, Guitars, Feng Shui and so on.
    They are normally accessed in iChat to be your Own Buddy pic.
    They way you have phrased your posts suggests you have a folder on your phone called "iChat icons" which may have been created by the PC.
    For people who know more about iTunes than I do to help will need to know where this Folder is exactly.

  • How do I solve the issue of this message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" on my iTunes?

    How do I solve the issue of this message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" on my iTunes? I already went to the folder of iTunes inside the Finder and change all permissions to allow read and write... no improvement at all. Any help? thanks!

    Hi! I just realized I have two folders called library, one is inside HD alongside with System and users, then I have also "library" inside users, some of the folders are apparently repeated, some are missing. And all the music is inside a folder called iTunes Music, inside Music, inside users. Now that I relaized some folders are repeated I applied to all related to iTumes r/w permission. But the annoying message keeps coming on.
    And yes, I am using Leopard, 10.5.8.
    Any ideas?

  • ITunes cannot sync photos because you do not have write access to the folder Elements 13 Organiser

    Does anyone have the answer

    Are you using a Mac or a PC ?
    Is 'Pictures' the directory that you've chosen to sync photos (on the Photos tab) from on your computer ? When you sync photos iTunes creates an 'iPod Photo Cache' foldr under the folder that you've selected to sync photos from - it's possible that the Pictures directory doesn't currently have write access on it, so iTunes can't create that directory.
    On a Mac you can go into Finder, select/highlight the Pictures folder and do 'get-info' (command-I) and change its sharing and permissions. If using a PC then you should be able to do similar via windows explorer

  • ITunes error Claiming I "Do not have write access privileges"

    The other day without any upgrades (that I am aware of), iTunes stopped allowing me to import cds into iTunes. It claims that I do not have the proper "write" privileges for my music folder.
    I have no idea how to fix this, if this is even the real problem.
    Steps I have tried:
    1: I enabled "Use error protection..." under importing.
    2: Repaired Disc permissions with Dick Utility
    Thanks.

  • 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!

    My MacBook was stolen, and after a find my iphone erase instruction I got the erase started message, suppose all info on that computer was vanished.
    I then bought a new MacBookPro. I has a TimeMachine back up but due to battery cutoff it was blocked and the time machine could not be accessed. I could however copy to my new computer the information.
    question 1 - How do I initiate on my new computer using info that I have copied already on the hard drive to make it transfer as though it was from another computer...?
    question 2 - When I try to open itunes i get the message "the folder itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write accessability to the folder...
    I already downloaded the new itunes but even after that the message continues to appear.... what can I do to make itunes work back with my previous library...?

    Perhaps you should ask this question in the MAC forum. I have asked the administrators to move your post to a more appropriate forum.

  • TS1368 do not have write access to itunes folder

    When trying to buy a song from the itunes store, I receive the message "You don't have write access to your itunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in Explorer) and then choose Store > check for aviaiable downloads. I have purchased songs in the past and I cannot play them in my library now either. Something has changed to cause this to start happening but I don't know what.

    Hey there Hannuj,
    It sounds like you are unable to access the iTunes Store in the iTunes application. Based on the error message I would try the steps in the article here named:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1527
    Remove pop-up blockers
    Some pop-up or ad-blocking programs may interfere with the ability of iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store. Removing them in many cases will resolve the issue.
    Flush DNS Setting in Windows
    In some cases, the DNS information you computer uses to connect to the Internet needs to be reset. Follow these instructions to flush your Windows DNS information:
    Windows XP
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and chooseRun as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, clickContinue.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Note: If, in the command prompt, you see this message: "The requested operation requires elevation", close the command prompt and repeat steps 1 and 2 above to be sure that Administrator privileges are used to access to Command Prompt.
