"Insufficient access privileges for operation" Export Error

I have been working on a very important project in iMovie 09 and I went to go export it into quicktime format, and I get an error that says "The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (Insufficient access privileges for operation )"
I have the video files on an external drive, and I know based on the error message that it has something to do with the privileges of the video files. I just don't know how to fix it. Hopefully you can help!
Thanks

This may not be your problem, but you may want to check. By default, permissions are ignored on external volumes. Select the external volume with your video files on it and go to File --> Get Info. At the bottom of that window, make sure that "Ignore ownership on this volume" is checked. If it is not, check it. (You may have to click the "lock" and supply your administrator password first.)
If it is checked, then the conflict is with some other file(s), in which case, someone else will have to help you with that.

Insufficient access privileges for operation Logic Pro

What means "Insufficient access privileges for operation" when I try to open a *.logic file in a new track?

Is it a project file or template you are trying to save? The Autoload song? I'm no guru or anything, but try saving it in a totally different location, specifically, within your user domain or the Macintosh HD domain--maybe one or the other will allow you to save (for example, if you are currently trying to save your song in a place within your user domain, instead make a folder in Macintosh HD for all your Logic songs, etc.) If you keep Logic songs in the Library->Application Support->Logic folder, either in the user or HD library, that folder can be temperamental anyway. Actually, the less complicated your song and audio file's locations are, you might get an edge in application performance.
OK, finally, try running this nifty new program (it's really more like an automation script), "Maintenance 3.7" (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/maintenance.html). It may repair errors in permissions, etc.
Maybe that stuff will work and someone wiser than I will respond to your post!
Good luck!

"Code -5000--- "insufficient access privileges for operation"

I use a M-Audio Ozonic, Digidesign Mbox, and a BCF2000 logic control.
Whenever I try to initiate an audio recording, this message pops up
"Insufficient access privileges for operation
Result code = -5000"
Has anyone encountered this. This is a new issue. has never happened before.
17" iMac G5 1.6 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GB RAM w/ Logic express 7, Garageband, ProTools 6.4 LE w/ software bundle & Mbox. Ozonic, BCF2000

Did you upgrade os x or create a new user?
Select the folder icon here you save your audio projects and type Command I to open the information panel, then verify if you are the owner of the disk and if you have read/write permissions.

Error when changing BPM: "Insufficient access privileges"

Hello, Logic Express gurus:
I am just a lowly fitness instructor trying to mix her own music (self taught DJ). When changing the BPM here's what I do:
I double click on the song track, then from the window that pops up, I click on the "Factory" pull down menu, then choose "Temp and Pitch Machine". When I change the BPM to the desired tempo and click "Process & Paste", I get the following error:
"Insufficient access privileges for operation (Result code -5000)", then another error stating:
"Error when creating temp file!"
It used to work beautifully. Can anyone assist me? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Matt. I tried your suggestion, but it did not make a difference in the tempo. I am bringing in MPEGs, by the way.
My method was working fine until I began getting this error message. Any further suggestions from you or anyone?

Error -5000 Insufficient Access Privileges - Can anyone help?

Hi, I have been using logic since version 4.1 and have never had this problem. About 50% of the files I import or audio I record have problems when using the Audio editor in logic.. I can't do simple things like Normalize, Fade in/out/, Gain, Time & Pitch etc... All i keep getting back is 'Error -5000 Insufficient Access Privileges For Operation'. I've checked the files are on read & write however I cannot figure out why it will not let me do anything to the audio.. Any advice appreciated! Kai P.S I've updated to the latest Version of Logic Pro 7.2

You should run "repair permissions" for your hard drives.
Check the Apple Help manual on exactly how to do this,it's not hard to do.
This is not a Logic Issue,but a file management issue...Access privileges is a term to describe what access level you have on each file on your computer.If you don't have write access,you cannot edit the file.
I hope this helps,

Import refused from file: "Insufficient access privileges"

Trying to import file into iMovie 09, get dialog: "(Insufficient access privileges for operation )"
Anyone know what that might mean?

I believe JVT is not a supported format in iMovie.
If you have QuickTime Pro, transcode your file by exporting and choosing the following settings:
1. File/Export
2. in Export choose "Movie to QuickTime Movie
3. Click Options
4. In Movie Settings for Video Choose AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec)
5. Size: 1280x720
6. Sound Settings: Format Linear PCM - Channel Stereo (but your file is mono... so I guess leave it at that) - Quality: Normal - Linear PCM Settings: Sample Size: 16 - Little Endian
After you exported this file, import it to iMovie '09.
(JVT, Joint Video Team was created by the union of two groups the ITU group taht started by creating H.26L back in the 90s and the MPEG group.)

HT1386 I get an error message when I try to sync my iPod touch - "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

I recently installed a new hard drive on my PC, downloaded iTunes, updated the software on my iPod touch and now I get this error message when I try to sync: "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation." It never did this before, whether it's the upgrade in software or something in iTunes, but it's very frustrating, since I'd like to add more things to my iPod.

Hi, DickmoAZ.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

HT201413 This error message will pop up "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" when I'm trying to download updates.

I have had itunes on my computer for a while now and was working beautifully. I had a new printer installed by a tech guy with had to do something to windows 7 to get it to print correctly. Now itunes is acting up. When I try to download updates or sync with my iPad I get an error message saying "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". Can anyone help?

I'm assuming you are synching to a Mac via iTunes? If so, you need to fix and reset your disk permissions using the Disk Utility app on the Mac.

"You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" error message on iTunes startup?

So I cleaned up my Macbook recently, and now I am fearing that I may have deleted something important.
Whenever I start up iTunes, I am met with the "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" error message. I have read forums that advised editing the Get Info page for the iTunes library to allow all users and staff to "Read/Write", but doing this has not eliminated this message.
Any tracks that were not purchased play normally, but purchased tracks now require additional sign-in that I do not believe was required before. Other than this, iTunes performs normally.
Did I mess something up permanentliy or is there a way to fix this?

The problem was that my account wasn't authorized. But when I tried to authorize it, I got an error message saying that the authorization could not be completed. Thankfully, THAT was something that Apple Support had previously addressed.

Thanks, Apple.

Cannot sync, error message reads" not enough access privileges for this operation

When trying to sync my ipad and iphone with my PC i get this error message "Cannot be sybced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". I have a new PC but i have successfully synced these devices before. can anybody please help ?

Just thought I'd put out an update on my problem. It has been solved. I spoke to a tech at Apple at 1-800-275-2279. She had me try a few things that didn't help. Her last suggestion was to uninstall QuickTime and iTunes then reload. She sent me the uninstall instructions at http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93698 which I followed. When speaking to her I told her I was afraid to do this because I saw other people on the discussion board who tried this and lost all of their music. She assured me that that wouldn't happen. I did the uninstall then the install. (Just a note here, I also read on the message board that someone said that to cure this problem you should do the install then open up QuickTime before opening iTunes. I did this also but don't really know if it made a difference.
Bottom line is I uninstalled QuickTime and itunes per the instructions at the site shown above. I then installed both again from www.apple.com/itunes/download. After the download I ran the install and unchecked the box to let itunes start after the install. I then opened Quicktime then closed it. I then opened iTunes and all of my music was there and I didn't get the anoying "iTunes is not set as the default player" and the error after trying to set it. The problem described in my first posting of copying CD's is also gone. So beleive it or not, EVERYTHING is working just like it should. Some of the above steps might not be required but I would follow them step by step because I know they worked for me.

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.
