I keep getting the error message:the ipod "ipod's name" cannot be synced. you do not have the privelage to make changes.

what do i do to fix this? please help! i have a160gb ipod classic

Well mine is now ok.
I noticed that my iPhoto library  (on an external disk) was not allowing write access and the drive had become locked, so to test, I migrated my library back to the main drive and set iPhoto to open that as the main library. I performed a sync with iTunes and all has gone trough fine.
Makes me happpy, as my next step was to factory reset the phone.

  • The ipod cannot be synced. you do not have the privilege to make changes

    My ipod gets half way though the this message, ipod cannot be synced. you do not have the privilege to make changes.
    What to do?

    After searching this issue out and trying a bazillion different things (with no luck), I deselected 'Enable Disk Use' then re-enabled, and everything is working now.
    Dear Apple -- What is up with that?

  • The error message says, "There was a problem downloading 'X'.  You do not have enough privileges for this application."  Any suggestions?

    I have recently added an iPhone 4s, and cleaned out the hard drive of my eMac to use solely for iTunes, but now it will not let me download iCloud items from iTunes Match.  Do I need to change settings on the iPhone, or did I erase something I shouldn't have from my hard drive?

    I should have explored other threads before writing this, as I found the answer elsewhere. Turns out, the folder I was saving the podcasts to had been changed to 'read only'. Changed to 'read and write' and podcasts download successfully now. I'm not sure how that changed during the upgrade, but no matter, I'm back at it now.

  • I keep getting an error message saying "This iPod cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started"

    I keep getting an error message saying "This iPod cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started" and i have no idea what that means so any help will be much appreciated, i just want to add more of my music on it

    I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

  • I keep getting an error message on my ipod touch, "your apple ID has been disabled" what do I do to enable it. I have already changed my password.

    I keep getting an error message on my ipod touch, "Your apple ID had been disabled." I have already changed my password. I can't update any apps. What should I do?

    I've never had that problem but perhaps "Manage your account" might help you.

    I find the Air easier to work with if I need a keyboard if, for no other reason, that's more compact to carry around than the iPad and a keyboard, even one that is part of an iPad case.  I also often have to access data from one application when using another, and iOS is not at its best when having to do rapid application switching (Command-Tab switching is a lot faster than the double press home, scroll the icons at the bottom and swap).
    As well, for editing I find the lack of sandboxing on OSX allows for efficiency enhancing utilities across applications, something you don't get in iOS.  I understand the reason for that, but while more secure it also creates issues of its own in terms of usability in a number of situations.
    I prefer the iPad for totally single application focused situations where little or no input is required.  I use my iPad to hold copies of manuals when I'm doing a full day continuing education presentation for CPAs.  A MacBook Aire can't really fill in very easily for that usage.
    I see them each as tools appropriate for different jobs.

    can anyone help

    Launch iTunes on your new computer then from the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
    Try syncing.

    You probably didn't install iTunes from a user account with Administrator privileges.

    I have downloaded Adobe Photoshop digitally but when I activated adobe I keep getting this error message Adobe Premiere.exe - NO DISK - There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive/device/harddisk/DR1

    It sounds like you downloaded the wrong application, namely Adobe Premiere Elements.
    If you meant Adobe Photoshop Elements, you're in the wrong forum.  This is not the Elements forum.
    Here's the link to the forum you want:

    If you mean Photoshop proper, since you are posting in the Photoshop forum, give version details and your system specs.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,

  • HT1386 I am trying to sinc my iPhone with my iTunes to get my music on my phone and i keep getting an error message 42001 pop up when i attempt to sync what is this error message and what do i do to fix this problem??

    I am attempting to sync my phone with iTunes and I keep getting an error message 42001 so my phone can not sync with iTunes... What is this error message and what can I do to fix this problem and sync my phone to iTunes?

    Dear Apple team,
    I recently bought an iphone3GS from USA and jail broke it. Since I heard the there are lots of disadvantages I thought to unlock it officially through the original owner (in copy). He assisted me and confirmed that he unlocked it with AT& T (See the attachment). According to the instructions I restored the phone. But it is not activating with “Activation server is currently not available, please try again or try with iTunes”
    When I try with iTunes , it says “you haven’t inserted a SIM” even though I insert the original AT&T SIM.
    My current location is Sri Lanka ,so don’t have any apple support.
    Please help me to be a good fan of apple.

  • IPhone Stopped Syncing: "you do not have the privilege to make changes"

    My iPhone suddenly stoped syncing and iTunes gives the error message: "you do not have the privilege to make changes"
    A few forums suggested reinstalling the OS and restoring from the cloud backup, which I have done, but it has not worked.  Any ideas?

  • I keep getting an error message when logging onto iCloud. It states that "you cant sign in because of a server error".  But the cloud status is "normal".

    This is happened today after I udpated my iPad to IOS v7 and iTunes to 11.1.0.126  and only for one of my computers.  I keep on getting an error message when trying to log onto iCloud.  The error message is "you cannot sign-in because of a server error" but the iCloud status is "normal" and iCloud is fine on my other computers.

    Next day the problem still continued.  I did restart my computer a couple of times and then "it worked".  Not sure why - if it really was a server problem or something on my side.

  • I am trying to synced my iphone but I get an error message "the iphone cannot be synced you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    I have just installed itune on a windows 8 OS and am am trying to sync my iphone but it cannot import photos and come up with the error message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    Hey there Opal4,
    It sounds like you are unable to use iTunes due to this error message about not having enough access privileges. According to the following article you may need to change the permissions on the file directly:
    These messages occur if permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or on a folder inside your designated music folder. Permissions are settings that determine who can read, write to, or execute a file or folder on your computer. Every file and folder on your hard disk has an associated set of permissions.
    Example: If permissions are correct on your Music folder, but incorrect on the U2 folder inside your Music folder, you would be able to add other music to your iTunes library, but not that new U2 album.
