Cannot be synced - access privileges ?

I have moved my wife user account from her MBP to our Mac Mini and ever sense then she has not been able to sync her iPhone.
This is the message that comes up:
"The iPhone "XXX iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
This does not make sense to me as my wife has admin privileges on the computer.
I need some help with this one, Please.
Thanks,
West

Hi,
I have a similar problem with mine since I moved my iTunes with Apps and everything from a MBP to a Mac Pro. Can you tell me if you have solved the issue.
Thanks,
Niels

  • IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

    iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'.  It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

    See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages.  It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

  • I cannot sync my iphone.  computer says I don't have enough access privileges.

    I cannot sync my iphone.  My computer gives me a message that says, "I don't have enough access privileges".  After an internet search, one site said that I need to delete my photo cache.  How do I resolve this, and is it wise to sync?

    Hey Tipa1,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having an issue with iTunes due to permissions. The following article is related to the symptoms you described:

  • I'm getting an error that says "The iPhone "------" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Everything will sync but the music. I am an administrator and all the files are organized. How do I sync my phone?

    I cannot sync my iTunes library or any playlists to my iPhone due to a message that reads "The iPhone "-----" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation. I also have music on my iPhone that will not sync to my iTunes library. Any way to sync the two together?

    I hope this helps.    Not the easiest fix, but I suspect it will solve the problem.

  • ITunes error: 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?

    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.

  • Cannot sync, error message reads" not enough access privileges for this operation

    When trying to sync my ipad and iphone with my PC i get this error message "Cannot be sybced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". I have a new PC but i have successfully synced these devices before. can anybody please help ?

    Just thought I'd put out an update on my problem. It has been solved. I spoke to a tech at Apple at 1-800-275-2279. She had me try a few things that didn't help. Her last suggestion was to uninstall QuickTime and iTunes then reload. She sent me the uninstall instructions at http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93698 which I followed. When speaking to her I told her I was afraid to do this because I saw other people on the discussion board who tried this and lost all of their music. She assured me that that wouldn't happen. I did the uninstall then the install. (Just a note here, I also read on the message board that someone said that to cure this problem you should do the install then open up QuickTime before opening iTunes. I did this also but don't really know if it made a difference.
    Bottom line is I uninstalled QuickTime and itunes per the instructions at the site shown above. I then installed both again from www.apple.com/itunes/download. After the download I ran the install and unchecked the box to let itunes start after the install. I then opened Quicktime then closed it. I then opened iTunes and all of my music was there and I didn't get the anoying "iTunes is not set as the default player" and the error after trying to set it. The problem described in my first posting of copying CD's is also gone. So beleive it or not, EVERYTHING is working just like it should. Some of the above steps might not be required but I would follow them step by step because I know they worked for me.

    Hey there Opal4,
    It sounds like you are unable to use iTunes due to this error message about not having enough access privileges. According to the following article you may need to change the permissions on the file directly:
    These messages occur if permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or on a folder inside your designated music folder. Permissions are settings that determine who can read, write to, or execute a file or folder on your computer. Every file and folder on your hard disk has an associated set of permissions.
    Example: If permissions are correct on your Music folder, but incorrect on the U2 folder inside your Music folder, you would be able to add other music to your iTunes library, but not that new U2 album.

  • Error Message iPhone cannot be synced, not enough access privileges

    I have a dual boot WinXP Pro & Vista Ultimate laptop (ThinkPad X60) on separate HDDs. Have loaded iTunes 8.02 on both drives in both OS's. No problem synching my iPhone in iTunes in WinXP. However, in Vista, I can back up, but cannot synch, the iPhone (which is a 3G, acquired in August 2008, and it has Software 2.2). This message repeatedly appears: "The iPhone "[name of phone]" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Have used Windows Explorer, gone to the iTunes folder in \Users, and taken ownership of it and installed "full control," but that hasn't helped. Have reinstalled iTunes. That hasn't helped. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

  • "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.

    Hi
    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.

  • The iphone cannot be synced. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation

    The iPhone"Kyle's iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enought access privileges for this opperation. what do i do?

    Thank you.
    I actually figured it out a while ago.
    Turns out it is not an issue with the iPhone or iTunes.
    By process of elimination I deduced it could be a permissions issue with the hard drive and/or folder that holds the contents of my Music Library.
    For example, if the "Sharing & Permissions" settings (found in the "Get Info" Window) are set to "Read Only" on the internal or external drive that contains your Music Library for iTunes then you can not write to the disk. Therefore, you do not have privelges to make changes to the internal or external drive and you get the error message when you try to sync with the information on that drive.
    Here's the kicker and million dollar questions:
    How did the "Sharing & Permissions" settings get changed on my Hard Drive without me doing it?
    Why did my iPhone sync fine yesterday and suddenly today the Hard Drive is doing this?
    I have to set all priveleges to all drives to "Read & Write" and that just doesn't seem very secure to me.
