HT201272 I get this message when I try to download purchased music, never seen it before, never had a problem before. you do not have enough access privelages for this operation

I get this message when I try to download purchased music, never seen it before, never had a problem before.
"you do not have enough access privelages for this operation"
This computer is authorized, auoto download is enabled and I can download on my ipad without a problem.
Any ideas what might be going on?

Hi jimbowby,
If you are getting this error message just when attempting to download previously purchased music (new purchases work fine), and it's only occuring on the computer (redownloads on the iPad work fine), it may be a permissions issue. It may be worth taking a look at the Resolution section of the following article, which covers other issues that can throw that same error message: Trouble adding music to iTunes library or importing audio CD Hope that helps.
Cheers,

    Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts.  Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  Doesn't happen every time.  Using Windows 7.  What can I do?  The files seem to be there but I don't know if they are being backed up to cloud.

    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.

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

  • The itunes library cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privelages for this operation

    Hello, the new problem is this, the error message in the title of this discussion keeps appearing "The itunes library cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privelages for this operation"....I've read suggestions on access privelages but they are all granted to me (my admin and user accounts) and I have full control over itunes, yet the message STILL appears everytime I re-open itunes. Does anyone know any solutuions? I'm on 64 bit Windows 7.

    I am intrigued by this as it comes up from time to time without a solution.
    It is very odd if iTunes opens withoout creating a library file, it should create an empty file i.e. one with no music in it, are you absolutely sure that it does not create a new iTunes Library.itl? - It really should open at all if it can't do that.
    Normally when iTunes can't create a library file it refuses to open and gives a message "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found". This is due to a registry problem in which the location of the My Music folder is not correctly set and iTunes uses this to determine where the iTunes folder should be.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398
    If iTunes won't open when you remove the library file - it's worth giving that a go.
    Was iTunes able to create a library file and culd you add music to it when you created a new user account? That shows whether the issue is a user specific issue or a more general problem. There are a couple of other things I am wondering about.

  • 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.

  • When I try to sync my iPhone I get the message: The iPhone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation.

    When I try to sync my iPhone, I get the message: The iPhone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation.
    The iPhone won't sync anymore.  How can I fix this?

    This works even for my ipod on my computer. I recently time machined myself and when i open intunes it always does all that backgroud magic and  pops up saying "....You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation."
    It turns out i don't need that, because i do not use sync. I do not sync. I don't use the sync. I abstain from getting my sync on...etc.
    The first solution posted above works, i'll repeat it but  credit goes to King_Penguin a true friend from the motherland! Just find this one file and delete it.

  • 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.

  • HELP! trying to transfer purchases from my iPad but keep getting: "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" message

    I recently had a hard drive crash and lost almost everything except for what I managed to save on Carbonite. When I got the new hard drive, I updated to Lion and began the laborious process of restoring my files. I think it is up to 40% done.
    Anyway, I went to try to transfer my purchases from my iPad2 (4.3.3) and received the message:  "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" followed by: "Attempting to copy to Hard drive failed. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation."
    So, I did a search on the problem and have found similar complaints and some reasonable suggestions, which I attempted without success. So far I have:
    1) Rebooted
    2) Changed all the Permissions on the iPhoto Library and iTunes folders to Read & Write.
    3) Used Disk Utility to Verify & Repair permissions.
    Nothing is working.
    HELP!

    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.

  • HT1660 I'm getting a message that reads 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Why is this? And how can I fix it?

    I'm getting a message that reads 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Why is this? And how can I fix it? I'm worried that I'm going to lose my entire library because of this.

    A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
    I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
    I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

  • Restoring music but get this message...""You do not have enough access privileges for this operation".

    I'm trying to restore my music library on my windows laptop from discs, but while importing, I keep getting this message ""You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" and a failed import.  I have tried just about everything I can think of to fix, including most of what I've seen on forums dealing with permissions and the like.  Thoughts?
