  • When trying to import bought CD's (10yr old) to ITunes, it recognizes the album and the tracks, but when importing I get the error message '  Error occurred while converting 'songname' file. The required disk cannot be found

    Seems also that the majority of CD's that have these problems are Warner Music published (I have roughly 20 that display the same problem)

    Windows and iTunes 10.
    Had this problem "Error importing file .... songname .... iTunes cannot locate the required file" when trying to import a CD today. 
    My library is on an external USB hard drive.  iTunes from time to time not only loses its own library file, but also confuses windows into thinking that the library files do not exist.
    So the fix where you re-tell iTunes where to find its own media file (using the preferences menu hidden behind some opaque icon for reasons that pass rational understanding) fails, and when you try to find the file using windows explorer, windows possibly confused by apple "helper" files, or possibly lost in a delusion of its own, also thinks there are no files in the music directory.  This despite usage stats on the disk still clearly showing that a lot of space is being used up by files that "aren't there".
    The fix for this windows user is close everything down.  Reboot, restart iTunes and presto it as if iTunes's / Window's temporary amnesia never happened.
    Last time I "lost" the library was when I did the "upgrade" to iTunes 10. I wrongly put this down to a pathetic upgrade utility. I now realise that iTunes/Windows just loses this key element of the plot from time to time, screwing up windows when it does so.
    Astonished how flaky this widely used and let's face it hardly brand new software combination is. 
    Now I don't know if this spectacularly unhelpful performance is Apple's fault or Microsoft's or both, so I'm not going to bother apportioning my contempt.  Shame on both your houses for needless worry that I'd have to re-rate and re-sort everything from a virgin set of file back ups yet again.

  • In 10.7.3 I get a message: error occurred while converting file. You do not have the privilege to make changes.

    in Itunes 10.7.3 I get a message: error occurred while converting file. You do not have the privilege to make changes. This just started and I can not import my cds. Any thoughts?

    Do you have read& write permissions to your iTunes library?
    See this thread: Re: "Error has occurred... You do not have the privilege to make changes."

  • I am receiving the message Media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt.

    I am receiving the message "Media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt."  In the recent past, I have been able to drag photos from iPhoto into Pages or Text Edit.  I can drag photos from some photo events, but not from the photos I have recently used in a DVD project.  I did drag photos from Pintrest into my iPhoto to use in the DVD project, but didn't see copyright info attached to any of those.  Could this be the problem?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it doesn't then you need to repair your original library by applying the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Itunes Error occured while converting this file An unknown error occured (-11828)

    So I'm trying to convert a movie for my ipod because it would not accept the current version but I go and try to convert it to an iphone or ipod version and it gives me this error "Error occured while converting this file An unknown error occured (-11828)" Any ideas?

    Hi, LongIsland14. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This issue would be related to a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder.  Here are a couple articles that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

  • "Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file.You may not have the appropiate permission

    We subscribe to a service called "Vault" which provies its documents in encrypted PDFs using the etd format. As well as Digitial Editions we have Acrobat Reader 9 installed on our PCs (Windows XP,SP2). When a user tries to download any of the documents they are seeing the following error:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file.You may not have the appropiate permissions to access the item."
    However, if they open Digitial Edtions (or have had it open at some point in the past) before they download the document it opens without any problems. We use ZEN works to manage our PCs, and we use something called Dynamic Local User (DLU) which means that when a students logs into a PC the user's local Windows account is created on the fly, and then when they log out it is then deleted. This means that they are effectively using Digitial Edtions for the first time everytime they log into a PC.
    As anyone else seen the above error? Also, is there a way of stopping it? What does Digital Editions do the first time it is opened? Are there registry keys that we can add, which emulates the opening of Digital Editions so it doesn't have to be opened first before we can download the Vault documents?
    Any advice/tips would be most welcome.

    Hi
    Some required information are needed for us to help you.
    Hi NabeelOmer,
    We wonder if you have taken any action such as system restore after this issue occurred.
    You might also try this command to restore your access control list.
    Run this command to navigate to the drive letter, example is D
    D:
    To reset all permissions, run this command
    icacls * /reset /t /c /q
    Visual Studio is a very invasive program and which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions for system, user should never try uninstalling it manually without any guidance.
    Visual Studio made changes for your whole system, if the file has been moved or deleted this error would occur.
    Since you mentioned that you get this error almost everywhere even in control panel. We suggest you repair/reinstall your Visual Studio first and check if it could be fixed.

  • When I login to my bank, I get the message: 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. Have new MacBook Air with Yosemite. How to solve this problem?

    When I try to login to the website of my bank, I get the following error message:
    403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
    You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
    I have a new MacBook Air with OS Yosemite installed.
    What is the problem and how can I solve it?

    Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
    Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
    The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
    Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
    The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

  • I have 3.0.6 and want to upgrade. Cannot do it. Message says: "operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items", What does that mean and how can I get upgrade to my 3.0.6 version?

    I have been trying to upgrade from my old Firefox 3.0.6 version, but I always get the same message.
    I'm on Mac OS X version 10.5.8.
    f I can't upgrade, I'll have to switch browser -- and I really love Firefox. Please help

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.

    Well mine is now ok.
    I noticed that my iPhoto library  (on an external disk) was not allowing write access and the drive had become locked, so to test, I migrated my library back to the main drive and set iPhoto to open that as the main library. I performed a sync with iTunes and all has gone trough fine.

  • Firefox updated to 6.0.1 and now I cannot open it, or even reload it, without the message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file, You may not have the approprate permission to access the item."

    This is a new problem... I've never had issues with Firefox before. I use firefox for everything at work and it is beyond inconvienent to not be able to access my websites, etc.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
    Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.
