ERROR You do not have enough access privileges / Music Folder Permissions

OS...W XP iTunes 7.6.2.9 HP. Classic 60 GB HP iPod. I have this error when I try to import some CD's. Am trying to import a brand new cd I just bought and error reads...
*"Error occured while converting the file "Large Time" ( or whatever the 1st songs name may be). You do not have enough ACCESS PRIVILEGES for this operation.*
iTunes could not save your music folder because you do not have write access. Check permissions on your Music folder and folders in your Music Folder, then try converting this file again".
Well I've tried every way I can think to check the permissions and am clueless. I do know that after going through my pc settings for folders, that after some time, I was able to save the last playlist and sync it. I've no idea why, but I do know I have this problem frequently. And it's BAaaaack.
If you find or have the answer please post...ty. MP3 players seem more user friendly, using WMP, but this iPod was more for the money.

  • While trying to copy files using home sharing, get the error you do not have enough access privileges

    I'm trying to use "Home Sharing" feature in iTunes to import files from another user on the same iMac.  We have 5 users and one user is unable to import files from other users.  We get the error "You do not have enough access privileges to perform this operation."  All users are logged in using the same Apple ID and everyone else can import files.  What gives?

    Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back when I switched computers and migrated.  Here's what worked on my iMac, so maybe it'll work on your iPad, too.  Go to User(your home folder)/Music.  Select/highlight your "Music" folder.  Then do Command-I ("Get Info" from the File menu), click on the padlock icon in the lower right of the new window.  Enter your user password.  Click on your username just above the now-open padlock.  Select "Read & Write" if it's on "Read Only," "Write Only," or "No Access."  Now having your user account with "Read & Write" privileges (it may have been this way already; still do this next step), click on the gear on the bottom-center of that window.  Click on "Apply to all enclosed items."  When the pop-up says "Are you sure?" (or the equivalent), say "yes."  This will grant access privileges to your user account for all the music files inside your music folder--all your iTunes stuff included).  Then you should be good to go.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277
    Thanks, Apple.

  • 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.

  • 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.
