I'm trying to import a CD, but I'm getting the message, "You do not have the privilege to make changes."
I'm unable to import music to my new iMac. I put in the CD and it says that "an error occurred while converting the file. You do no have the privilege to make the changes."
Anyone have any help?
Hey Chris-
It has been some time since you posted this message and I see you haven't gotten any replies, but I have the same issue and I was wondering if you figured out how to resolve it. Hopefully you were able to figure it out.

Just tried to import a new CD into my iTunes music library, but get this error code "error occurred while converting file. You do not have the privilege to make changes"....any thoughts? Have not tried to change anything- only import CD ??
Do you have read& write permissions to your iTunes library?
See this thread: Re: "Error has occurred... You do not have the privilege to make changes." -
I recently tried to import 2 CDs but on one, only the first 4 songs imported and on the other, only the first 6 songs imported. The CDs work fine in a CD player. Any suggestions?
Rip the CDs with another program on your computer, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library. (If you use Windows Media Player for this purpose, make sure the Rip Setting is on MP3, or else it will default to a useless format known as WMA.)

I'm trying to import an audio CD into iTunes, but I keep getting a message saying, "Error occurred while converting the file . . . You do not have the privilege to make changes." I've tried selecting all the different encoders, WAV, MP3 and AAC, and still nothing works. I would appreciate the help.
Try HT203242: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

I just tried to buy Mountain Lion but I am getting this message, yes, even after I reboot: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
I don't understand what this means? Is my MacBookPro too old to work with Mountain Lion?The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum.

Thanks, but I've done that several times & it still says I need administraive privileges. I had itunes installed with no problems until I did the latest update. After that it just disappeared, so I tried reinstalling. Now I can't sync my phone. This is so frustrating!

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.

I downloaded and installed 10.7 to my MacBook Air with no issues, but now when I try to save documents to macintosh HD, I get an error message "you do not have permission to save to macintosh HD" I can save to home without issue, just not to theHD. I tried repairing permissions-no progress.
I cannot create new folders on the HD, either. In the macintosh HD permissions window:
Admin Read&write
Wheel Read
Three heads: Read
AppleCare on the phone says I have to re-install the OS using Recovery-this seems a bit over the top. Any ideas?RESOLVED
OS 10.7 no longer allows admin users to save to the top directory-only the pre=determined four folders are allowed now.
By moving all content not in the four main top directory folders (System, Users, Library, Applications) to the directory)s) just below, all was resolved.
The guys at the Genius Bar were just as surprised as me-so we learn something every day, although Apple could let their Geniuses know.. -
I have removed all spyware, anti virus software and removed all iTunes programs - as suggested by Apple. I still cannot open iTunes on my PC because of the message "you do not have permission to open this file, folder"
I have changed and checked all permissions to allow this but still get the same message.

while trying to access i phone through pc (windows 7 ) showing error 'you do not have permission to access this device '
And while trying to unlock screen after lock , slide not working 'slide to unlock'Hello there, charialji.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
In trying to update to Firefox 3.6.11 on an intel mac g5, I get this message: the operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items -- any suggestions? thanks!
You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.
You can also do this:
* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
