Can't download music from Itunes to Ipod

When I try syncing the music I keep getting the following message:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "Logical Disk" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. ITunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your Music Folder and folders in your Music Folder and then try copying this file again."
I went to the Music folder and looked at the security tab and it looks as though all the access privileges are there. I'm not sure where exactly to go or what to do. Does anyone know how I can attain the necessary access privileges?
Thanks,
Tom

Are you on an administrator-priveledges user account on your computer?
If not, try logging into an admin user, and see if that makes any difference.
Just a guess, but this might be caused by drive letter confusion on your computer.
Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter, following the steps here:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive

  • Can I download music from iTunes to 2 itouches

    My computer with iTunes which my itouch was synced to crashed, literally died. I threw it out and had no back-up so lost everything on it (still don't know how to make backup). I bought a new computer, re-downloaded iTunes and my several days worth of music is now gone except for a few songs purchased so I am re-downloading my CDs which is a time consuming pain.
    Here's my problem. My itouch only has one album on it (Chris brown's F.a.m.e.). I finally want to transfer my iTunes music to my itouch in case my computer crashes again and to listen to it there too which I hadn't done in the past. When I synched my itouch to iTunes it says I have to erase everything on my itouch first since I've never synched it to the iTunes on this computer before even though it is under my same exact account. This is do unreasonable and stupid. I have tons of pictures, videos, emails and apps I've been using my 64GB itouch exclusively for. My iTunes account is registered to this itouch and there's no way I want to delete everything on it years worth just to have access to synch to iTunes. Makes no friggin sense to me. I purchased a new itouch so I can download the music onto that. I've already spent hours and hours over a couple weeks every free moment downloading my CDs to iTunes. Before I crack open the new itouch, is it going to let me download my music onto it or only to my old itouch whose content I do not want to erase?? I'm frustrated is an extreme understatement as to how I am feeling. Any suggestions? Can I unregister my old itouch and register the new one to iTunes...WITHOUT having to delete all the music I've already downloaded? Can I download onto both my itouches since everything will be registered to me? Or do I also have to buy another computer, download a second iTunes, register the new itouch or ??

    1. My computer crashed. I smelled smoke, it no longer turned on, nobody was able to retrieve anything on it. It went in the trash with all my data on it - pictures, itunes, documents etc. I had never made a back up.
    2. I purchased a brand new Dell computer. I re-installed iTunes using my same username/password as the itunes I had on my old computer. All the days worth of music (non-purchased) were gone. I was told through a paid call by apple that I have to re-install all the non purchased items (my CDs) but they showed me how to bring over my purchased music.
    3. I spent hours and hours and hours re-installing all my CDs, several days worth of music. I then synched my itouch, and it is telling me that it detected a new computer, that it has to first erase everything on the itouch in order to synch and transfer the music onto it.
    4. I don't want to erease all the content on my itouch - pictures, videos, emails, etc. etc. Have had it for a while and not something I want to do.
    5. I purchased another 64GB itouch so I can synch that one instead.
    6. I haven't removed it from the box yet. My question is "Can I download music from iTunes to 2 itouches." If I crack open the box and synch the brand new itouch to the itunes on my new computer, registered to my old itouch, will it work? Will it synch and download the music to that device so that I don't have to erase everything on my old itouch - wich is not an option for me. I don't want to delete everything on it. I bought a new itouch so I won't have to delete everything and transfer it onto that. The itunes on my new computer is already registered to my old itouch. Had I known I'd have to delete everything to synch, I would've not used my old username/password, would have created a new one, a new account so I could sync it to my new itouch which I shelled out the money on just so I don't have to erase everything on my old itouch. So my question again - can I synch this second brand new itouch to the itunes on my compouter? I don't want to remove it out of the original packaging and find out the hard way only to then not be able to return it to the store. ANd if I can't and I don't want to delete everything on my old itouch, am I screwed and no longer able to use itunes?

    CAn you download music from your Ipad to your IPod?.

    Not directly no. If they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you might be able to re-download them directly on your iPad - or if you have iTunes Match then you should be able to.  Otherwise you will need to sync via your computer's iTunes

  • How to download music from iTunes to iPod Suffle

    just received my new iPod Suffle, now what? it does not come with any type of instructions,what you do to download music fro iTunes,where and how to charge battery,you know all the needed stuff.I connected the iPod to my iMac and nothing happen,while connected re-instal my genious in iTunes adn nothing,the computer did not recognise my iPod,try to get information in what to do in apple support nothing;only one how to charge your battery,what is this why everything has too be so complicated and why Apple does not include instructions. You know now I regret buying this gismo.

    This is the manual for the 4th gen shuffle
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User_Guide.pdf
    which is available through the manuals web page on Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    First, you should download and install the latest version of iTunes, from here
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    Information about using iTunes with your shuffle is in Chapter 3 (seems like that should be Chapter 1, but hey, I didn't write the manual ).
    You can come back with any specific questions, if the manual does not answer them...

  • Can't download music from iTunes to iPad mini

    Hi,
    I recently bought an iPad mini and I'm having trouble downloading content from iTunes - both new music/films & from purchase history - but I can download apps just fine. It comes up with the following error "unable to download xxx at the moment. Please try again later." I can however download content onto all my other iDevices.
    Is there anyway of fixing this problem other than resetting the iPad? Been playing games on the iPad & will lose the progress in the reset process.
    Thanks!

    If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen so that you can see the iPad under the devices heading.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    This will probably be helpful if you are using iTunes 11.
