Do Not have the privileges to import Cd's to itunes.

I have recently purchased a new mac. I have had troubles importing Cd's to my itunes, with an error saying i do not have the privilege to do this. I have tried to open the Cd in find and see whether i was able to make changes to the privilege; however it does not give me the option to make any changes.
Please if anybody can help that would be much appreciated.

Perhaps you would give the exact error message and when exactly do you see this message?

  • Error occurred while converting the file "". You do not have the privilege

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro and it's my first mac ever. I have imported all my songs into itunes from an external hard drive where i would keep all my music and video's. I went ahead and added it to my mac and everything plays and works fine but whenever i try to import a cd i get this message Error occurred while converting the file "(Song Title)". You do not have the privilege to make changes." I tried changing the sharing and permission settings on the drive but it won't let me so i have no idea on what to do next. Any help is appreciated!

  • "Error has occurred... You do not have the privilege to make changes."

    When I try to import anything into my library, I get this error message-
    "Error occurred while converting the file "song name here". You do not have the privilege to make changes."
    My i Tunes library is located in an external hard drive, but this has caused no problems before, nothing has changed in my system.
    Any ideas?

    Found someone else replying to a similar problem and this is what they said...Not sure if this will help but I am trying!
    (Thanks to JollyGiant)
    Check if you have read & write permissions on your iTunes folder.
    in finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so

    you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).

  • I am getting an error when trying to download  the new Game of Thrones shows. The error is err = -61 You do not have the privilege to make changes. (err = -61) you do not have the privilege  to make changes. I have not had this problem before

    I am getting an error when trying to download  the new Game of Thrones shows. The error is err = -61 You do not have the privilege to make changes. (err = -61) you do not have the privilege  to make changes. I have not had this problem before

    Solution:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
    This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

  • How to fix a -61 error on iTunes? (I do not have the privilege to make changes)

    I got a new iMac. When I try to download songs on iTunes, it comes up that I do not have the privilege to make changes (-61 error). How do I fix this?

    Um, it is difficult to be more specific than the link I posted, completely with nice picture of what things should look like .  You get info on the iTunes folder and click the little triangles next to your name until the read and write combination appear, then apply to enclosed items, then close the window.

  • IPad 3 syncing issue on iOS6 - "You do not have the privilege to make changes"

    I have updated my ipad 3  to iOS6 and now it is coming up with the following warning message when i try to sync "The iPad cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes" also it is not recognised wirelessly under devices, I have to connect with the usb cable.
    I am having a similar issue on my iPhone 4s as well - this IS recognised wirelessly but has the saming warning message.
    Both devices are updated to iOS6 and i am running iTunes 11.0.1
    Any help or advice????
    Thanks,

    Finally managed to get this sorted, i noticed that it was at the point of the photos backing up i was getting the warning message so decided to try a few things,
    What worked was holding down the option key and clicking on Aperture/iPhoto this gives you the option to select the library you want to choose from on your drive/external drive, i clicked the default one and reloaded Aperture.
    Then i simply closed and re-opened itunes and it found the iPad wirelessly(still not sure why doing this on Aperture helped with this problem) then hit sync and everything worked OK.
    I had changed nothing previously so unsure what started the issue whether it was iOS 6 or just an issue on my Mac but either way all works fine so i'm happy.

  • IPod classic not syncing because I do not have the privilege?

    My ipod will not sync with my computer because itunes says i do not have the privilege to do so. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have synced my ipod to the exact computer before and never had a problem until now. Even after I updated my itunes I was still having this problem.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
