I do not have the Privilege to update my iPod

I just switched from my PC to my new Macbook. I had to restore my iPod and reload all of my songs but when I try to update it, it gives me the message,
"The iPod...cannot be updated. You do not have the privilege to make changes."
I'm new to Mac so I have no idea what might be causing this. Please help.
Also....when I was reuploading all of my songs to my iPod after restoring it, it gave me the same message but when I clicked "ok" on the message, it still uploaded all the songs. It won't do that anymore.

Your iPod might not have the correct Ownership & Permissions.
Select the iPod in the Finder (click once on the icon on the desktop).
Get Info (⌘-I). Expand 'Ownership & Permissions:' and expand 'Details:'.
At 'Owner:' you should read your username. If not, change it and also click on the 'Apply to enclosed items...' button.
That should fix it. If you want to use your iPod with other usernames too, tick the checkbox 'Ignore ownership on this volume'.
I would tick this checkbox anyway to avoid possible permission problems now and in the future.
Hope this helps.

  • IPad 3 syncing issue on iOS6 - "You do not have the privilege to make changes"

    I have updated my ipad 3  to iOS6 and now it is coming up with the following warning message when i try to sync "The iPad cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes" also it is not recognised wirelessly under devices, I have to connect with the usb cable.
    I am having a similar issue on my iPhone 4s as well - this IS recognised wirelessly but has the saming warning message.
    Both devices are updated to iOS6 and i am running iTunes 11.0.1
    Any help or advice????
    Thanks,

    Finally managed to get this sorted, i noticed that it was at the point of the photos backing up i was getting the warning message so decided to try a few things,
    What worked was holding down the option key and clicking on Aperture/iPhoto this gives you the option to select the library you want to choose from on your drive/external drive, i clicked the default one and reloaded Aperture.
    Then i simply closed and re-opened itunes and it found the iPad wirelessly(still not sure why doing this on Aperture helped with this problem) then hit sync and everything worked OK.
    I had changed nothing previously so unsure what started the issue whether it was iOS 6 or just an issue on my Mac but either way all works fine so i'm happy.

  • IPod classic not syncing because I do not have the privilege?

    My ipod will not sync with my computer because itunes says i do not have the privilege to do so. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have synced my ipod to the exact computer before and never had a problem until now. Even after I updated my itunes I was still having this problem.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • ITunes 8: You do not have the privilege to make changes

    After upgrading to iTunes 8 I get this error when syncing my iPhone.
    The iPhone "..." cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes.
    I restored my iPhone hoping this would fix the issue but the error still happens.
    Please help!

    I am getting this after upgrading to 8.02 but with my iPod, not my iPhone.
    I deauthorized the computer and then authorized it. No effect.
    I am also suspicious that my iPhone updates are not being applied correctly, though no error is appearing.
    This reminds me of authorization problems with the iphone that I have documented previously.
    I will blog on this problem here:

    I know Apple has had authentication problems with legacy .mac customers. We're people who's purchases are tied to our .mac address, but we left .mac long before the .me switch.
    I think Apple may have unique authentication problems with this group.

  • Error occurred while converting the file "". You do not have the privilege

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro and it's my first mac ever. I have imported all my songs into itunes from an external hard drive where i would keep all my music and video's. I went ahead and added it to my mac and everything plays and works fine but whenever i try to import a cd i get this message Error occurred while converting the file "(Song Title)". You do not have the privilege to make changes." I tried changing the sharing and permission settings on the drive but it won't let me so i have no idea on what to do next. Any help is appreciated!

  • I am getting an error when trying to download  the new Game of Thrones shows. The error is err = -61 You do not have the privilege to make changes. (err = -61) you do not have the privilege  to make changes. I have not had this problem before

    I am getting an error when trying to download  the new Game of Thrones shows. The error is err = -61 You do not have the privilege to make changes. (err = -61) you do not have the privilege  to make changes. I have not had this problem before

    Solution:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
    This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

  • How to fix a -61 error on iTunes? (I do not have the privilege to make changes)

    I got a new iMac. When I try to download songs on iTunes, it comes up that I do not have the privilege to make changes (-61 error). How do I fix this?

    Um, it is difficult to be more specific than the link I posted, completely with nice picture of what things should look like .  You get info on the iTunes folder and click the little triangles next to your name until the read and write combination appear, then apply to enclosed items, then close the window.

  • "Error has occurred... You do not have the privilege to make changes."

    When I try to import anything into my library, I get this error message-
    "Error occurred while converting the file "song name here". You do not have the privilege to make changes."
    My i Tunes library is located in an external hard drive, but this has caused no problems before, nothing has changed in my system.
    Any ideas?

    Found someone else replying to a similar problem and this is what they said...Not sure if this will help but I am trying!
    (Thanks to JollyGiant)
    Check if you have read & write permissions on your iTunes folder.
    in finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
    http://www.renewedvision.com/ProPresenterHelp/pgs/images/faqpppermissions.jpg
    you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).

  • When trying to download or sync podcasts, I get an error code "you do not have the privilege to make changes". Please help!

    When trying to download or sync podcasts, I get an error code "you do not have the privilege to make changes". Please help! I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, but that did not work. Also, I rebooted and that didn't work, either.

    I tried to use an external hard drive from my windows computer that was formatted in NTFS Windows format.  Mac Pro sees that hard drive as "read only".  Itunes works on existing media on the hard drive to play music or movies, but when you try to purchase from itunes store and download you get the above message.  You need to move your library to a library that is formatted in exFAT format (which can be used both by "windows" and mac computers.
