Error msg:  "do not have enough access priviliges for this operation"

Windows 7
iTunes 9.0.2.25
When I open itunes, I get this error msg :
I get a "Can not save a library file - I do not have enough access priviliges for this operation."
Any suggestions?

I went ahead and add my Program files(86)/iTunes as an Exclusion in the Eset Advanced Set up any ways- just in case.
As well as that, you'd need to set an exclusion on the iTunes library and media files (as per their instructions for 2000/XP/Vista when using Smart Security 3.x).
The default location for the relevant folder on Windows 7 is:
C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

  • Sync Error "You do not have enough access privleges for this operation"

    After up dating to iTunes 7.4.1.2, I get the following error message when syncing my iPhone;
    "The iPhone (Phone Name) cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privleges for this operation."
    I tried re-authorizing the computer as other users suggested but the error message persists. Restarting, rebooting have not helped.
    Any ideas?

  • ERROR: You do not have enough access privileges for this operation

    All of a sudden (she's had it for a year) my wife is getting the above message when she connects her Classic iPod and it tries to synch.
    I have repaired permissions, rebooted the computer, tried again, same message.
    We log in as different users and my iPod works and synchs fine.
    Log in as her, and her synch is aborted.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Using Get Info I've confirmed that she has Read/Write permission everywhere I think she should.
    We're both Admins.
    Any ideas, anyone?
    I'm at a loss.

    If you're running Windows, close iTunes, right-click on the iTunes icon and choose Run as Administrator, then try syncing again.

  • HT1386 I get an error message when I try to sync my iPod touch - "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    I recently installed a new hard drive on my PC, downloaded iTunes, updated the software on my iPod touch and now I get this error message when I try to sync:  "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  It never did this before, whether it's the upgrade in software or something in iTunes, but it's very frustrating, since I'd like to add more things to my iPod.

    Hi, DickmoAZ.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder.  Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

  • HT201413 This error message will pop up "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" when I'm trying to download updates.

    I have had itunes on my computer for a while now and was working beautifully. I had a new printer installed by a tech guy with had to do something to windows 7 to get it to print correctly. Now itunes is acting up. When I try to download updates or sync with my iPad I get an error message saying "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". Can anyone help?

    I'm assuming you are synching to a Mac via iTunes? If so, you need to fix and reset your disk permissions using the Disk Utility app on the Mac.

  • "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" error message on iTunes startup?

    So I cleaned up my Macbook recently, and now I am fearing that I may have deleted something important.
    Whenever I start up iTunes, I am met with the "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" error message. I have read forums that advised editing the Get Info page for the iTunes library to allow all users and staff to "Read/Write", but doing this has not eliminated this message.
    Any tracks that were not purchased play normally, but purchased tracks now require additional sign-in that I do not believe was required before. Other than this, iTunes performs normally.
    Did I mess something up permanentliy or is there a way to fix this?

    The problem was that my account wasn't authorized. But when I tried to authorize it, I got an error message saying that the authorization could not be completed. Thankfully, THAT was something that Apple Support had previously addressed.

    Thanks, Apple.

  • 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.

  • I am trying to synced my iphone but I get an error message "the iphone cannot be synced you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    I have just installed itune on a windows 8 OS and am am trying to sync my iphone but it cannot import photos and come up with the error message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    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.
