Can't Download Purchase to iPod Touch- Don't Have Permissions?

Hi,
So I just got to London, and I need to download a new Mac application to my iPod Touch. It has been working until now. When I try to download ANY app, I get the message:
"You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store > Check for Available Downloads."
I've checked the iTunes Media folder and made sure that my username and everyone both have read and write privileges. What else can be causing this to happen? Thank you.

Hi Brian
I still haven't managed to download my photos. :-(
To add to the mystery I dropped the phone and the glass broke so it is not working. However, when I plug it in via USB I can still see the device and all the photos on it. I just can't move them or transfer them.
I can open them one at a time in Preview and save from there but as there are nearly 800 of them, that would take a day to do.
I still can't download iPhoto as apparently my computer is too old. Although it's only about 18 months old.
Anyway, I  would really appreciate any further help as I would like to get the photos off and take the phone to be repaired.
I'll be using a digital camera not attached to my phone in future. I can't believe how difficult and frustrating this has been. Most devices you plug in, they appear on your computer and you drag and drop.
Hope you can help.

  • How can I download podcasts on iPod Touch? (I have the RSS feed.)

    I have the RSS feed of a podcast that I'd like to download (not just stream) and play on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 6. I have the Podcasts App (purple icon) and the Music App (brownish-orange icon).
    What must I do? When I tap the Podcasts App, It says "You can subscribe to podcasts in Top Charts or the Podcasts Store".  Is it possible to bypass Top Charts and the Podcasts Store and just load the RSS feed URL into some app? I don't think the podcast I want to add is found in either Top Charts or the Podcasts Store.

    You are correct my response was supposed to be completely useless for this thread because it is my pet peeve when somebody says 'iTouch'  Please see the picture below to see that the OP did indeed use 'iTouch'.
    If you look carefully at your first reply it says 'iPod Touch', looks like they changed it after I said something. 
    Seeing as I am batting 1.000 might as well ask if you know anything about https://discussions.apple.com/message/21829555#21829555

  • I recently purchase a tv episode from the iTunes store, however, can not download to my IPOD Touch.  Apparently, a format issue, any suggestions

    I recently purchased a tv episode from the iTunes store.  However, I can not get the tv episode downloaded to my IPOD Touch i.e. can not sync movie although music works fine.  From what I read it is an issue with the format of the episode.  The format is HD and apparently is too much for my IPOD touch.  According to the documentation, the SD format for the episode should have been downloaded at the same time as the HD.  I have the latest iOS for my IPOD Touch, 4.2.1 and latest for ITunes 10.5.3.3.  I am using my PC with Windows 7.  I can not download directly to the IPOD Touch since access to the clous is required i.e. iOS 4.3 or higher.  Any suggestions? 

    My suggestion is for you to do the downloads overnight.

    i cant download instagram on ipod touch 2g how can i update so i can version 4.2.1

    You can't. The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.22.1 because of the hardware on the 2G. Instagram requires:
    equirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
    Either live withou Instagram or get a newer model iPod

  • Mac's iTunes can't download to upgrade iPod Touch to v2.1?

    Hello.
    Earlier, I was trying to update an iPod Touch to v2.1 but I ran into problems with iTunes v8.01's download in Mac OS X/Leopard v10.5.5 on a MacBook Pro. iTunes said:
    "There were problems downloading some purchased items.
    For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.
    There was a problem downloading ÒiPhone 2.0 Software Update / iPhone 2.0 Software Update. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.

    I noticed iTunes' download said 4 KB downloaded and had resume option which failed with the same errors.
    At first, I thought it was maybe because Mac OS X account level was at "standard". So, I changed it to administrator level, logged off, and relogged in to retry. I got the same errors again.
    So I decided to log off and log in with the other account with administrator access. That worked (downloaded, restoring iPod Touch which is still processing as I type this). Also, this was a brand new iTunes account and sharing music files with other accounts on MacBook Pro if they matter.
    What happened so I can fix this for future downloads and upgrades. Thank you in advance.

    Anyone? Bumped.

  • Can't download the new ipod touch update

    when i go to itunes and try to buy the new upgrade it says that i must download the new ipod software 1.1.3 even though my ipod is up to date. What gives

    You must update to itunes 7.6. You must download, and update your ipod to version 1.1.3 verify on the summary tab in itunes when you plug your ipod in. If you have already purchased the update then you should now be able to sync your ipod and the apps appear. If you have yet to successfully purchase the apps yet purchase, and resync. (you can view your purchase history from itunes store account settings, to check whether you have successfully made the purchase already. Also when you sync your ipod the first time to get the apps to show up, you must be set to automatically sync, not manual.

  • Can't download youtube on ipod touch

    My daughter's new iPod touch has been updated but won't download YouTube. The "free" box doesn't react.

    Okay - worked with Apple Care last night and found a lot of other things wrong. He tried a restore but it didnt work. My iPod is just screwed up. He told me to take it to my local Apple Store to have it looked at.

  • I can't replace an old version of Firefox with a new one that I just downloaded. It says I don't have permissions to do so, and the old version can't trashed.

    I've downloaded the new version, and when I go to drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder, I'm prompted to replace the old version. When I do, it says, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to modify 'Firefox'." I've looked everywhere, and every help forum says to just drag Firefox into the Trash. I've tried that, and it says that Firefox can't be trashed. I don't know if this means anything or not, but there is a small lock in the bottom left of the Firefox icon in my dock.

    Try to drag the current Firefox application to the trash if you can't replace it.

  • IPod touch "done" button have white lines issue

    This problem have occured on my iPod Touch 2G MC model running both iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2.1.
    So basically when playing videos from safari, in a game, the ipod app, or anywhere else with a "done" button on the upper left corner, there are two white lines within the button (from where the curve at the edge starts). Not really an issue, but it looks kind of ugly.
    Have this happened to anyone else before? Is there a fix? I restored, set up as new ipod several times and would not work.

    Since restoring to factory defaults/new iPod did not resolve the problem I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Can't update to newest version. Keep getting message update failed. When I try to install the downloaded version get message I don't have permissions. What's up with that?

    Can't install latest version of Firefox. Continue to get message "update failed". When I try to install a downloaded version get message that I don't have the proper permissions. What' up with that?

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Can't download a file because I don't have privileges.

    I need to install a program on my iMac which I just downloadeD. When I drag it from my desktop to my folder it tells me I don't have privileges to do this. What do I need to change to make this happen?

    Are you logged in as an admin account? If so, do a Get Info (command - I) on the file, unlock the padlock and give yourself read/write privileges. If you have trouble with that change everyone to read/write.

  • What games can I download to my ipod touch second gen?

    I tried to download some but a notice saying I can't run the app because its iOS is an old one.. Any ideas please??

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
