An error has occured while updating the default player for audio file types

followed by "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation".
Well its my computer, Im the admin (using XP even though im logged onto my name which has no security settings). Im not adding music, all im trying to do is update my preferences.
Ive tried reinstalling all of the apple software, then redownloading the most recent copy of itunes, and i still get this message. Any clues on how to fix this?

Hi, I had the very same problem. Check out this thread for a possible resolution: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6825681

  • "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types"

    Getting ready for a deployment of version 9.2 of iTunes for 1400+ users.
    Getting this error when a 'normal' user goes into Edit/Preferences of iTunes and makes no changes.
    "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    I've elevated privileges of the C:\program files\itunes directory for this user to Full Control however problem remains.
    Tried to modify the folder to remove 'read-only', as found this suggestion on here, but read-only keeps applying itself.
    User has full rights to the location of the media as specified under Advanced Tab. If I tick 'Set as default media player' and remove tick and then click OK I do not get the error. From what I've read it's affected older versions of iTunes also.
    Doe anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had a similar issue. Turned out that - somehow - one of the directories or files in my iTunes music folder had gotten set to read only. Fixing it was easy.
    Go to Edit/Preferences.
    Choose the Advanced tab
    in the General subtab select the contents of the box labeled "iTunes Music folder location"
    Click Start, choose Run
    Paste the location
    Press the button to move up one level
    Right-click the music folder, choose Properties
    If this is your problem, the read-only box will be a solid color or checked. Set it to empty and choose the default "apply to folder and all subfolders and files." This will set everything in there readable, which after I did so I stopped getting the error.

  • 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!

  • Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?

    Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
    But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
    Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
    (I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)

    Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
    "The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried?

  • ITunes doesn't recognise iPod as the default player for audio files.

    A few weeks ago my husband completely re-installed our laptop, without properly looking at how to backup my iPod touch. Everything was lost and I have had to start again, however the system still comes up with this message each time I plug the iPod in:
    iTunes has detected this is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Program Control Panel to fix this.
    I go to the Control Panel, but have no idea what to do.
    Can anyone please help me?
    I have not upgraded to version (4.0)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Geordie81,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you sure it wasn't referring to making iTunes the default application for audio files as described in this Apple support document? Worth a shot anyways.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad? You may have to restore again if there was a problem.
    Try the reset first.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be...

    When trying to complete the tutorial for indesign I get the following error when trying to add an article to my folio:
    "An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found."
    I am able to create the folio then I click into articles. My document "WiFi_v.indd" is open when clicking add article, but I keep getting this error message.
    I am using the following versions of the software (Should be the latest).
    - Folio Builder (Downloaded version Version 1.1.8.0)
    reported version:
    11.4.3.20111129_m672305 7.5.5.17
    Adobe In Design 7.5.2 CS 5.5
    Also tried reinstalling the plugins (uninstall + install)

    If you're on Mac OS with the OS in another language than english the "User" folder might contain a non english character and causing problems.
    I e in Sweden the Mac OS user-folder is called "Användare". When attempting uploading articles from a file locaded anywere this "Användare" is in the file path the Folio producer says Error finding InDesign layout, due to -what i think is-the "ä" in Användare. If you still want to work local you can place the InDesign files directly into the Macintosh HD. In this case the User folder is not used.

  • Keep getting an error message that reads, "LR An error has occurred while creating the book on Blurb" An error has occurred while trying to create texts and fonts.  Pleas advise as Blurb has said that it's a LR issue.

    Are you behind a firewall or double NAT??
    What is the device that is immediately plugged into the main modem or router? Has that one been able to update?
    It is plugged in of course isn't it.. no nasty join wireless anywhere??
    The best way to work around these sort of problems is to simplify the network.. Plug each device directly into the main router.. by ethernet. You can trigger the firmware upgrade by wireless but use ipad or iphone version of airport utility and see what happens.

    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
