Error message when syncing new iphone

I am unable to sync my new i phone. every time I try an error message pops up and says you do not have the privilage to make changes.
Any suggestions???

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.

    When I seek to sync my iPhone, I get this message:
    "iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone “Russell Swaim’s iPhone” because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing?"
    I hit "yes" togive permission to sync, but in the next box i get this message: "Syncing cannot be enabled in this computer."

  • ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

    My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
    If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
    -Plugging in your iPod to your PC
    -Ignore the error messages
    -Go to My Computer
    -Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
    -Right-click on it and select Properties
    -Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
    You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

  • Error message when syncing apps

    I have some games and stuff on my phone. The last few times I have synced my phone, I get a pop up box that says the apps were not transfered to my phone because of an unknown error. Error code OxE800002E. The apps in question are on the phone, but have updates available. I've updated them on the PC, but the newer versions are not replacing the older version on the phone.
    Anyone have a clue???
    I also just got a macbook this weekend, and I get the same erreor message when syncing on it.

    One thing that might help.
    First, make sure the iphone is updated to version 2.1
    To do this, connect the iphone to itunes 8 and click the button to check for update.
    Try deleting all the purchased apps off the iphone.
    Then on your computer, click on store at the top and choose deauthorize.
    Once the computer is deauthorize, click on store at the top again and choose authorize computer.
    Once the computer is authorized, connect the iphone and try syncing one of the apps.
    Hope this helps.
