I don't have consolidate file in my itunes

I am trying to transfer from one computer to another and I don't have the consolidate option. Help

Hello Mellie,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are not seeing the Consolidate Files option, check to make sure the latest version of iTunes.
Download iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you are running the latest, then the following two articles will help with the location of the Consolidate Files. Only one of them will be of assistance depending on your operating system.

Thanks C F McBlob but I recursively changed the permissions of my Music directory meaning every file and directory beneath it, as well as the directory itself, had the write permissions added.
I used "chmod -R u+w ./Music" and chmod -R g+w ./Music" to do it.
Alas, no cigar. :-(

That's really disappointing, I purchased the download version.

Thanks for your help anyway

I just started migrating from my old iMac to my new one, both intel based. I am using my wireless system for this. I don't have many files, photos, etc, yet it says it's going to take 11 hours. Is this normal?

I am using the migration assistant over a cable modem wifi network. I don't have many files or photos, yet it is saying 11 hours remaining. Is this the norm, and how can I speed this up. Thanks

A FireWire connection would be much faster than your network connection.

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.

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.

"You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder..."

My daughter is trying to import CD's into her library. Some work fine but most won't load and she gets a message stating "You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions, select your iTunes Media folder in the Finder, and choose File>Get Info."
Following those directions the iTunes Info window appears and at the bottom her user name appears with the privilege as Read and Write. Clicking on the little gear icon below we select Apply to Enclosed Items. A message pops up stating "Are you sure you want to apply the selected owner, group and permissions to all the enclosed items?" Clicking ok a status bar pops up showing "Applying permissions to iTunes".
No changes occur in the issue we're having. This only occurs on her user.

If you have problems importing CDs with iTunes because of write access errors, you can do the following to reset the permissions to the Music folder for your user/s where the iTunes subfolders are typically located:
Open Finder
Macintosh HD
Users
Open the folder for your User
Music
Right click > Get Info
Bottom right hand side, unlock the padlock, entering your user's password
Under Sharing & Permissions, ensure all relevant users have Read & Write, including Staff
Then, click on the main user (you), then go to lower left hand side, click on the settings cog, and press Apply to enclosed items.

PLEASE HELP. you don't have write access for your itunes media folder or a folder within it

I am using Windows 7. If it makes a difference, my OS and important programs run on an SSD, while eveyrthing else is on a larger HDD. For awhile now I have had this problem anytime I try to do things in iTunes like import a CD, or a blu-ray digital copy. It gives me this error "you don't have write access for your itunes media folder or a folder within it windows 7." I have read tons of articles on how to change file permissions in windows and give full control and all that stuff. I swear I have read and tried anything remotely close to a solution for my issue, and it just wont fix it. Anyone have any out of the box ideas aside from changing permissions on the iTunes folder?
Also, when I make a new user account on my PC, the fresh iTunes on that account works just fine. So I don't know whats going on. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

I would like to play music from my iPhone 5 on the speakers attached to my computer at work. I don't have the authority to download itunes onto the computer. Can I play the music from the phone without having itunes on the computer?

There is an updated version number 10.7.0.21 that is available if you go to the iTunes link here on Apple.com. It won't show up under Apple Software Update and if you check for updates via iTunes it likely won't show either.

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.

As the thread says.
