I don't have access rights to me iTunes media

"You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permission (via Finder) and then choose Store > Check for available Downloads"
How do i fix this??

Is there anything in your iTunes media folder? If not, the easiest way to fix this is to create a new one. To do this, launch iTunes while holding down the option key on your keyboard. In the dialog that comes up, select Create Library...
Once an empty library is created, you should be able to import media, either from CDs or by downloading from the iTunes store.
Best of luck.

When I Consolidate I Get A Message Saying I Don't Have Access Rights

I just got a Macbook and I have music and video files on my old PC on both my hard drive and an old external hard drive (formatted NTFS). I am trying to consolidate all my videos and files to a new, larger and slimmer external hard drive (formatted FAT 32) so I can set up iTunes on my Macbook and start using that computer but while keeping the metadata in my songs (playcounts, ratings, etc.). I've followed the steps to set the default iTunes location on the new hard drive and began the consolidation process. It was working fine and about 2 GBs were consolidated into the new hard drive but then a message popped up saying that copying music failed because I don't have enough access privileges for this operation. Now I'm the only user on my PC and have admin rights assigned to me, so I'm not sure how this is possible.
If anyone could help me with this error message, I would be much appreciative. I'm ready to get rid of this old PC junker and start using my Macbook!

I was finally able to solve my problem and thought I'd post it here in case anyone else comes across this. A few years back, my hard drive crashed. I was able to recover my music files but I basically had to reinstall XP. When I did that, the music files that I saved were encrypted and "owned" by my old username. Since this username and permission file associated with it were now gone, any other user, including the admin or a username set up with the same username as the old one, could not unencrypt the folders with the music in it. So what I did was I opened Windows Explorer, navigated to my music folder, and found every artist folder that showed up in green on the screen, which indicates that the folder or file is encrypted. For every green folder, I created a temporarily created a new folder in my iTunes music folder with a similar name and copied the files from the encrypted folder into the new temporary folder. Then I deleted the encrypted folder and renamed the new folder the name of the just-deleted folder. Changing the name back to the just-deleted folder tricks iTunes into thinking nothing has happened with the files. Here's a little more detailed example:
1) I opened Windows Explorer and saw that my "Black Crowes" folder was showing up in green, meaning that it was encrypted.
2) I closed iTunes.
3) I created a new folder in my iTunes music folder called "Black Crowes2". When I hit refresh in Windows Explorer it should should show "Black Crowes" and "Black Crowes2" right next to each other.
4) I moved all the files from "Black Crowes" into "Black Crowes2"
5) I deleted the empty "Black Crowes" folder.
6) I renamed the "Black Crowes2" folder to "Black Crowes"
7) Finally, I opened iTunes and consolidate. I was able to consolidate the Black Crowes folder as it is no longer encrypted and iTunes is tricked into thinking nothing has happened to the files.
Of course, before you try all this you may want to try to make sure you use every username that is on your PC to see if that's the username that's associated with the encryption. You'll know that's the username that encrypted the files because the encryption box in the properties of the folder isn't grayed out (properties->general tab->click advanced.

Wind Vista SP2. iTunes 10.6.3.25. I'm trying to Consildate my Music Library on this PC, and get the error: "Copying files failed, because you don't have permission to change your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it." My admin user has Full Control

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I did what you suggested on all three folders: The main Music folder on the Mac hard disk, on the iTunes folder on the external 160GB Hard drive which contains the current media content and on the new 2TB hard disk on which I created a new media folder. I selected permission for myself which were already read+write and chose the apply to enclosed items on all three folders. I then changed the permission for others to read+write and applied to enclose items also an all three folders.
But it didn't solve anything.
Here's what happens: I choose the new directory in iTunes preferences (the media folder on the 2TB disk) I then go to File > Library > Organize Library and then choose Consolidate files. A window pops up and says copying "filename" with a progression bar underneath but the filename never changes. Instead the beachball appears when the mouse pointer hoovers over iTunes. Upon pressing the iTunes icon in the Dock it says that iTunes is not responding. At this point there's 2 different ways:
A - If I then force quit iTunes the iTunes window disappears but the application does not close. When I want to eject the 2TB disk it says it's being used by another application. Only when I cut the power to the 2TB disk does iTunes fully close. A window then pops up and says that the drive was not put away properly etc.
B - if I cut the power to the drive without force quitting iTunes, a window appears with the said: "Copying failed because you don't have permissions to change iTunes media folders etc." iTunes remains open and fully functional.

Copying failed because you don't have permissions to change your iTunes me-

This is what it says: Copying failed because you don't have permissions to change your itunes media folder or a folder within it
I'm using iTunes media consolidation procedure to copy all media files from the existing folder on an external Lacie 180 GB firewire 400 to an external Hitachi duo pro 2TB firewire 400 that has a raid feature which is switch to 1 (essentially it does 2 copies on both disks at the same time)
It won't even copy a single file. I've tried to copy other stuff from the internal hard disk to the new 2TB disk and copies fine (5GB folder full of software). It only does this with iTunes.

HT4527 how do i sync my ipod with itunes on a new computer, when i don't have access to my old computer?

how do i sync my ipod with i tunes on a new computer when i don't have access to my old computer?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Why does everyone else on their school ipad have access to the App Store and basically anything they want? Why is it that I don't have access to any of that? How do I get access to that stuff?

Ok I don't know why in the world everyone else has access to the App Store and almost anything they want. Guess what I have access to? Yea that's right I have access to nothing that they have! I believe that their iPads are glitching and that might be how they got access to them! I hate how I don't have any access when I don't have access to anything that they have access to! They have almost no restrictions on their iPads and I have all the restrictions that the school sets!

I don't know if you're looking for us to offer a solution to you? We can't. If your school has set restrictions on your iPad, you need to discuss this with your school system admin.

You don't have access to any End User Layer table

Hi
When I created a EUL using Discoverer admin, and also created a business area successfully, then I can't logon using same username in Discoverer desktop, My Discoverer version is 4.1.37. when I logon, I received error message read: You don't have access to any End User Layer table.
Could someone please give me some instruction, or guide me to do something.
.

Hi Prathima
You should not be able to connect to an Apps mode EUL as an end user in the end user tools.
As for administration, you need to log in as the owner of the EUL, a database user, and then assign admin rights to an Apps account. Many companies use the SYSADMIN Apps account for this purpose. After you have assigned an Apps user to have admin rights don't forget to grant that user admin privileges over each of your business areas.,
With this done you should then manage your Discoverer administration using the Apps account.
Page 14 to 20 of the document called Setting up an Apps mode EUL may help. This document is available for free from my website here: http://ascbi.com/downloads/downloads.htm

How to undo remember password on a work computer (don't have access to 'Security' tab under 'Options'

Accidently pressed 'remember password' when logging into Gmail via Firefox. Unfortunately am using a work computer and don't have access to the 'Security' tab under 'Options'. How do I go about undoing the remember password function? I've cleared all history, passwords etc and have shut down computer (this happened yesterday, logged back in today and details still saved).

You can try running firefox with the profile manager open (firefox.exe -p in run or right click the icon and add properties and stick it to the end of the target ("C:\Program Files (x86)\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" - p) Then try deleting that profile and creating a new one.

I have a lot of money on my Apple ID but when I try to buy something it ask for my security questions that I do not remember the answers to. I also don't have access to the email I used to set up my Apple ID but I do know the password how do I fix this ?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that. If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online. You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well. YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that. For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions

I want to delete an iCloud account from my iPhone. It says I have to turn off 'Find my iPhone'. I can't do that because the applied on the iPhone is an old one to which I don't have access anymore. What do I do?

For some reason the iCloud account on my iPhone has reverted to an old Appleid. I now can't get rid of it for the above reason--I can't turn 'Find my iPhone' off since that old appleid is no longer active and I don't have access to the email address since its from an old job. I am in a catch 22. I can't move for

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Installed mavericks server and now some users don't have access to folders!? Why and how do I fix it???

I have just upgraded the server and os to mavericks and now users that used to be able to open and save or even log in are now locked out with the server saying wrong password. I reset their password and still nothing. I created a new user and they can't even log in? Why now? And how do I fix this. It seems that some users and groups now don't have access and all that was done was to let the group open a shared folder that they have access before. I reset everything and am now very frustrated!!!

Hi
Seem to be an issue with Maverick
After trying to solve the issue with all tips i found here and on the net
I decided to go back to Mountain Lion for my server using TimeMachine backup, and stay with Maverick for my imacs
Work well again
Until Apple will communicate on it or deliver a patch, i would suggest to do the same
