I'm trying to sync my I phone. It says I do not have privileges

I am trying to sync my I phone 4G. Allof a sudden it says I do not have privileges?

Hi texas_aggi,
If iTunes is repeatedly prompting you to authorize, even though it is already authorized, you may find the troubleshooting in the following article about a similar issue helpful:

Follow this instruction exactly to the last line. It worked on mine.

check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music (or media) 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. if permissions settings check out, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
now try consolidating again.

IPhone4s won't sync. Error message says I do not have privileges to make changes.

My iPhone4s won't sync. Error message says I do not have privileges to make changes.
Why not?! It synced fine yesterday and I have made no changes. How do I get it to stop giving me the error message and sync?
I have tried shutting everything down. I have tried everything I can think of short of wiping the phone by hitting "Restore" and I really do not want to do that.

Thank you.
I actually figured it out a while ago.
Turns out it is not an issue with the iPhone or iTunes.
By process of elimination I deduced it could be a permissions issue with the hard drive and/or folder that holds the contents of my Music Library.
For example, if the "Sharing & Permissions" settings (found in the "Get Info" Window) are set to "Read Only" on the internal or external drive that contains your Music Library for iTunes then you can not write to the disk. Therefore, you do not have privelges to make changes to the internal or external drive and you get the error message when you try to sync with the information on that drive.
Here's the kicker and million dollar questions:
How did the "Sharing & Permissions" settings get changed on my Hard Drive without me doing it?
Why did my iPhone sync fine yesterday and suddenly today the Hard Drive is doing this?
I have to set all priveleges to all drives to "Read & Write" and that just doesn't seem very secure to me.

ICloud will not back up my phone and says i do not have enough storage available.

I used my sons Apple ID and password when setting up my iPhone 4s. It now says that i do not have enough storage available to back up my phone. How can i set up my own account without losing any data?
<Edited by Host>

Hey e.cliff,
Thanks for the question. When you sign out of your son’s iCloud account you will be prompted to keep or delete the data on your phone. After you elect to keep the data on your device, you can setup your own iCloud account and the data will be merged/uploaded to your new account:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions

As always, it is a good idea to backup your device before attempting these steps:

go into itunes and under the store tab and then down to authorize this computer, it will make it to where your phone will sync and connect to that computer.

I am trying to update my software and it says I do not have permission?

How do I get permission to update my software? I am having trouble with Java on a program and I'd like to do the software update but my computer will not let me.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

Phone says I do not have enough storage to take a photo but I have 15 gb available. Why? What can I do?

My phone keeps saying I do not have enough storage to take a picture, but I have about 15gb free/available. It stops and will not allow me to take any pictures. What can I do to fix it? The phone is my primary camera so this has become a big issue.

I suspect this has nothing to do with iCloud and all to do with the amount of free memory you have left of the iphone. Go to Settings>General>Storage. How much storage do you have remaining on the device (not icloud)?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Restart your computer and the iPhone. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
