i am unable to sync my ipad 4th generation with iTunes. I get a message saying I do not have enough privileges for this operation
To be honest I'd be very tempted to ring Applecare and explain that prior to downloading iOS5 your iPod Touch worked perfectly however since downloading Apple's new iOS5 it's "bricked" therefore can they as a matter of decency try to help put things right warranty situation notwithstanding. Afterall it does appear to be one of Apple's products that has broken your previously working iPod Touch.

The iPhone cannot be synced. You do not have enough privileges for this operation
On a Win7 PC and iTunes I'm trying to sync my wife's phone while signed in under our Apple iTunes account. It connects, backs up but then displays the following message:
The WIndoew accout has full admin privileges and the iTunes account is valid. Ideas?
Thanks!
LarryThank you.
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. -

IPod cannot be synced You do not have enough access for this operation
Hi,
We have one computer. My daughter & I have our own seperate user accounts via Vista through which we each have our own ITune accounts. ITunes music appears to be filed through C>User>Music>ITunes/ITunes Music (User being both myself & my daughter).
I have tried copying music from User Me to User daughter, but I keep getting the following message: -
*The User Ipod cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation.*
Can anyone help me please? The music is legitimate either from ITunes or other audio CD's.
An idiots guide to correcting this would be appreciated.
Thx againAre you trying to use two itunes libraries on one iPod? If I'm not mistaken, you can't do this. You can try adding the songs from her library to yours and then syncing. It's just a guess so I may be completely wrong. There may already be a thread that addresses this so if you haven't tried already you should do a search to see if anyone else has already covered this topic.

What can I do to resolve this annoying problem?
VinceTom:
I finally backed up the iPad to the laptop and deleted everything on the iPad and restored from back up. That cured the problem.

I'm getting a msg saying the folder "itunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder? What's going on? Won't sync when i plug in ipod shuffle or touch.
Post this in the iTunes forum as it does not pertain to an iPod Shuffle.

I have created a slide show with pictures and music in Iphoto and when I try export it I get Error You do not have sufficient permission for this operation. Try to export to an external HD attached, all help would be gratefully received
Have you ever successfully saved anything to that external drive? My first two thoughts are that the drive isn't formatted for the Mac or that you don't have rights to save to the drive.

Hello Tonchee
If you are seeing an Apple ID that is not yours, then you have purchased content on your iPad that is tied to that Apple ID. You would need to know that password or remove the content that is associated with that Apple ID.

In attempting to sync my i-phone with my new PC a message appears on the PC that I must enter a password (long forgotten) for an old email address. I've tried everything I know including trying to reset the password by providing my current email address. Nothing works.

Does anyone know how to resolve this? please help.
AdrienneWe need some numbers. Connect the phone to your computer with a USB cable. Click on its name in iTunes.
Look at the bottom of the iTunes screen; there will be a graph of the memory usage of the phone. At the right end it will tell you how much free memory you have.
Now go to iPhoto. Select all of the images you want on the phone. iPhoto will tell you how much space is required.
Compare the 2 numbers, available vs total of the image sizes. -
