I can't sync my iphone to itunes. It says not enough access privileges? Help please?

I have a hp computer and I created another account on the computer so it's me and my mom's account. I been using my mom's but I want to sync it on my part of the computer and it says I don't have enough access privileges? I need help ASAP please?

What you describe indicates the user account on the computer has insufficient priviledges.
Is the account an Administrator or a basic user?

  • ITunes launch FAIL - Not enough access privileges for this operation

    Every time I launch iTunes I get this useless error coming up:
    "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
    The apple error report is here: http://pastebin.com/CDXhALsp
    I'm not too bad at understanding UNIX so this made be feel that it was a privileges issue. I made sure that everything was chowned -R correctly to my user and the correct group that makes everything else work. Not working still. I checked chmod also, and checked with apple documentation what that should be, still not working.
    I then felt that instead of manually playing around with permissions I should get apple to do it for me, so I opened up Disk Utility and ran Repair Disk Permissions, still not working.
    I then booted into the OSX live CD, did a Repair Disk, rebooted, still not working.
    I then found some official Apple documentation on how to completely uninstall and reinstall iTunes on a Mac. I performed every step TO THE LETTER. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1224 after this lengthy process I reinstalled iTunes to find that it is still not working.
    I've also tried the command open /Applications/iTunes.app and done that with sudo to get around any permission issues, still not working.
    Seriously Apple, people shouldn't have to be a power user to launch iTunes or read an error report. What's wrong with this?

    Ok I found the answer:

    This is really terrible programming actually. Come on Apple, IF the directory doesn't exist THEN create it after a password prompt. This is just sloppy and careless. If that's too hard then change the error message to say something useful.
    The guy in the other thread has to REINSTALL OSX to get this to work because of terrible programming. This wastes tons of my time, why doesn't it "just work"?

  • Am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen. i get this message: not enough access privileges."

    i am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen with my music on the cloud, via a desktop PC.
    I have successfully done this in the past.
    now I am getting a series of messages: "not enough access privileges"
    have reset the nano and also downloaded latest iTunes software.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I'm having a very similar problem, so I was excited to see the link above. But when I click on it, it redirects me to the nike.com main website (I'm assuming Nike redid their website since the above link was posted). Could you please point me to that article somewhere else or tell me how you fixed your problem?
    My exact problem is this: I was running until recently with my iPod Nano 6th gen and the Nike+ sensor kit (sensor that goes in the Nike+ shoe plus receiver that goes in the iPod Nano). When I would sync my Nano with iTunes (I would have the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option checked), all was well with this set-up as far as syncing my stuff to the Nike+ website goes.
    I recently realized that for the iPod Nano 6th generation, the sensor/receiver combo is not required anymore. So I ran two runs without the receiver. I kept the sensor in the shoe though as nowadays I mostly run with my recently purchased Nike+ Sport GPS watch and I like to have the sensor in the shoe in case the GPS signal gets lost at some point during a run. Anyway, those two runs that I ran without the receiver won't sync to my nikeplus account. I can see them in my iPod Nano's history and I can see one of them (the latest one) on the Nike + iPod tab of iTunes when I sync my Nano. The difference though is that on iTunes this latest run appears under a "Sensor 1" selection, whereas all my previous runs with both the sensor and receiver would be under "Nike + Sensor" selection. Within the "Nike + Sensor" selection, under nikeplus.com, there's the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option and below it a Login ID that shows my Nike+ website log-in info. Within the "Sensor 1" selection, the Login ID is missing. I've tried renaming "Sensor 1" to something else but it didn't make the Login ID appear.
    Thank you for reading this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    Dimitris.

  • HT1386 not enough access privileges to sync i pad to i tunes ?

    not enough access privileges to sync i pad to i tunes ?

    I am having the same problem. I had been able to sync with no problem but I changed some of the System Preferences for syncing two computers with Mobile Me. Now I can only sync the iPod Touch if I use the advance features in the Info panel to replace all of the items on iPod Touch. That works the next time I sync but I get the subject message when I try to sync again.

  • I get message:can't save library file not enough access privileges.Don't understand what this means?

    I get message:"Can't save library file.  Not enough access privileges" .Don't understand what this means. No visible effect that I can see now.

    Classic example of why you should save your workm in progress...just hit Ctrl+s to do it on the fly.
    Yes I know. But it is the first time I work with Photoshop on such a big project and I thought it would be more stable.. Do the newer versions manage the memory better ?
    You can shrink your image down which will make it smaller enough to save
    Not enough memory to resize the image. And in the manipulation, it would corrupt some of my layers..
    you can try to save as a diffeent format
    I could succesfully save in Bitmap format. But I lose all my layers info..
    The making loads of screen shots would be good if it wasnt really an
    option seeing as it would use even more memory to do that then put the
    image together out of the screen shots.
    I made screen shots without any problem. I saved them through MS Paint without any memory problem, while Photoshop in parallel was just used as a static image for snapping...

  • Can't update iphone as not enough memeory on computer. Have tried to move itunes to an external hardrive and I thinm it has moved and clicked on the Itunes folder from the external but still says not enough memory..help

    Our computer is REALLY low on memory...we will get a new one at some point but can't at the moment.
    Upgraded to the new iphone 4s and bought an external hardrive so I could move my Itunes library to that, so I could update iphone/itunes (isn't enough memeory on PC to do this)
    I read that I need to consolidate my itunes first but again when I tried to do this it said not enough computer memory.
    Anyway I tried to move the itunes folder over to hardrive and then it looked like it had worked. Clicked on itunes via the external and it opened ituens up..brilliant I thought!Backed my old iphone up and then clicked update...then a m,essage came up saying not enough memeory on comouter to update.
    Is this because i need to delete itunes off the computer?
    Am worried in case it isn't on the hard drive correctly and will lose everything!

    You would be better off to go through and uninstall programs you no longer need or use and move your data over to the external drive, at least temporarily. The iOS update file will be somewhere around 700MB. If your system has less than 20% free disk space, you're pushing the limits even without trying to download something that large and back up your phone so the update can process. If you're running less than 10% disk space you've entered dangerous waters no matter what you're doing.
    This really isn't iPhone related and we can't advise you as to what data and applications you can move or delete. You will have to make that determination yourself or get a friend or family member to help.
    If you do not have a current backup of your computer system, you need to make one. NOW!

  • Error Message iPhone cannot be synced, not enough access privileges

    I have a dual boot WinXP Pro & Vista Ultimate laptop (ThinkPad X60) on separate HDDs. Have loaded iTunes 8.02 on both drives in both OS's. No problem synching my iPhone in iTunes in WinXP. However, in Vista, I can back up, but cannot synch, the iPhone (which is a 3G, acquired in August 2008, and it has Software 2.2). This message repeatedly appears: "The iPhone "[name of phone]" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Have used Windows Explorer, gone to the iTunes folder in \Users, and taken ownership of it and installed "full control," but that hasn't helped. Have reinstalled iTunes. That hasn't helped. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
