Does anyone know how to fix the error "Cannot be synced.  You do not have enough access privileges"?

I get this message ever since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes.
I am the admin on my computer and I have checked all of the access settings to programs and files.
I am using an iPhone 3 and running Vista.
Help!

    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.

  • 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.

    contacts ,calander and notes get syncronised but apps do not . at 4 stage above message come

    If you still want to sync your photos try this instead:
    1. Go to the Pictures folder in the Finder window (Pictures usually appears under Favorites in the sidebar of the Finder window)
    2. **Locate the iPhoto Library file and Right click on the file and select Show Package Contents.
    3. Locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and delete it.
    4. Try the sync process again, it should work.
    ** Sometimes the iPod Photo Cache folder is simply in the Pictures folder and step 2 is not necessary

    How do I solve the issue of this message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" on my iTunes? I already went to the folder of iTunes inside the Finder and change all permissions to allow read and write... no improvement at all. Any help? thanks!

    Hi! I just realized I have two folders called library, one is inside HD alongside with System and users, then I have also "library" inside users, some of the folders are apparently repeated, some are missing. And all the music is inside a folder called iTunes Music, inside Music, inside users. Now that I relaized some folders are repeated I applied to all related to iTumes r/w permission. But the annoying message keeps coming on.
    And yes, I am using Leopard, 10.5.8.
    Any ideas?

  • New audio files receives error message from iTunes - You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.

    Every time a new audio file is downloaded onto my desktop, (or if I double click on a new audio file) iTunes no-longer will play them. It gives an error message stating: Attempting to copy to the disk "Mackintosh" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operations.
    Please can you help me to resolve this situaion. I confess that I am not very computer savvy.

    Launch iTunes on the computer.
    From the iTunes menu bar click Store > Authorize This Computer
    Make sure to sign in using the same Apple ID used on the iPhone.
    Then sync your iPhone.

    You probably didn't install iTunes from a user account with Administrator privileges.

  • "The iTunes library file cannot be saved.You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."

    keep getting       '' the itunes library file cannot be saved. you do not have enough access privledges''  when ever i try to add or change my library, why? have tried  several suggestions on the internet to stop this from happening but with no success. i am running windows 7. has started happening since installing new security software. would this have anything to do with this problem? any suggestions

    The location of the iTunes Library file may be read-only or owned by a different user.
    Default locations:
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<login>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Vista: C:\Users\<login>\Music\iTunes
    Windows 7: C:\Users\My Music\itunes
    Right click the iTunes folder and choose Properties
    Look at the Attributes and see if Read-Only is checked.
    Uncheck it and click OK, at the apply to all subfolders and files prompt, make sure all subfolders and files is selected and click OK.
    If your iTunes library saves now you are done.
    If it does not you will need to try on each directory above the iTunes directory.
    Of course if you are not using the default locations you'll have to alter the path to the one you find in iTunes Edit->Preferences, Advanced tab.

  • Itunes library cannot be saved. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation - error message

    I keep getting this message.  It just suddenly started happening!

    Actually, yes I used to have MS Antispyware installed, but now I have uninstalled it and upgraded to the Windows Defender program, which was supposed to be a replacement.
    good lord.
    okay, we would get some reports of people getting an "you don't have enough access privileges" message with regard to setting itunes as the default music player if they had MS Antispyware beta running during an itunes install.
    let's try an experiment. try switching Windows Defender off prior to opening itunes.
    do you still get the access privileges error message?
    love, b
