"insufficient access privileges"?

My computer claims "insufficient access privileges" when I try to play certain songs I have purchased. These files corrupt or something, and then never play at all, or never play all the way through again. It just happened to a song I JUST bought, it wouldn't play even once!
I can try to redownload it, but it then says the computer is not authorized (it is). When I type in my password to re-authorize it, it tells me this computer is already authorized (duh)... then I try to play it and the loop continues.
It's so frustrating, I a paying for songs then not allowed to listen to them! What's up with this?

Locate the file in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. Under Ownership & Permissions, change the settings so that you have Read & Write access to it. If it is listed as a folder or package in the Get Info window, you may need to apply the permissions to enclosed items as well.

  • "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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • "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.

  • 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.)

  • 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,

  • WD External Hard Drive won't open due to insufficient access privileges

    Hi all
    So I'm getting this message"The folder "O-Drive" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges".
    I received this drive from a client I'm doing audio work for and I've tried it on two different macs and have gotten the same message. Shows up on my desktop but not in the finder viewer and the disk utility can't access anything either. Any tips, ideas or solutions for this issue?

    There are lots of ways you can have "insufficient privileges"--you'll just have to investigate to discover which one applies in your particular case.

  • When I try to access files on my external hard drive on one macbook, it says I have insufficient access privileges. I use the external hard drive on my other macbook and it works fine. How can I fix this problem?

    I've tried looking the answer up on google, but I've come up empty handed. Do I need to change permissions somewhere? I've tried setting everyone to have read and write acess on both machines and that didn't work either.
    My macbook that works perfectly with the hard drive is running snow leopard. the other macbook is running leopard. i'm not 100% certain what brand my external is but it says firewire800/usb2.0 on it.
    i appreciate any help i can get!

    I bought a 160gb iPod classic every time I try to put music on my external hard drive only copy up to 1500 songs and then freezes Itune me and I can not close, asks me to restore the ipod as factory, and do nothing . I try to close the program and itune will not let me, I try to turn off the computer and I can not shut, I looked to see if the iPod disk errors and says it's okay. I restored it about 8 times and I've put music and videos but I always delete everything. I crushed and Selection Menu to enter diagnostic sistemade or ipod and I put the manual test where I enter the IO and q tells me everything is fine. I have already given several Format directly from the Windows 7 and anything either, I always delete everything from passing over 1300 songs and I congeal whole team. No longer have to think of this company because Apple gives no solution has this issue.

  • Error -5000 Insufficient Access Privileges

    This seems to be a recurring problem on this site but I can't find an answer to my problem.
    When I open the Audio editor to perform a function on a region suddenly I get this error where I didn't before.
    I've checked Get Info and made sure that the permissions are correct which they are.
    I have used Disk Utility to 'Repair Permissions' and that hasn't made any difference.
    I've also rebooted my machine several times.
    Does anyone have any ideas ?

    I do log in as a User although on this machine their is only one user set up and that's me but when this happened I logged out a relogged in to see if it made a difference.
    I did begin this project on a Macbookpro and then copied the logic project from my external harddrive to the internal one on my MacPro.
    My login on the macbook is the same as on the mac pro.

  • Insufficient Access Privileges ( = 5000) in Logic X on Mavericks.

    My project file is "Read & Write".  After searching the boards, I ran Disk Utilities.  I copied the project to other names on other external disk drives.  All to no avail.  I still can't edit the audio/sample.  While my new Mac Pro is in the shop, I am running this on an older MacBook Pro if that helps.  Frustrating!

    Ah.. a corupted project then... That could easily explain things too, as you discovered..
    Glad you got it sorted out and of course, thanks for letting us know the resolution...
    Cheers..

    I have recently encountered the error "insufficient access privileges" when trying to sync an iPod Video on my wife's computer which previously had synced with no problems. I reset the access privileges in the info window for iTunes but the problem continued. It turns out the problem access privileges were those of iPhoto which were set incorrectly after a system crash. The hang up was when it tried to sync the photos. Once I set these properly, the iPod synced with no problem. Don't know if this helps you.

  • I can't sync my iphone to itunes. It says not enough access privileges? Help please?

    What you describe indicates the user account on the computer has insufficient priviledges.
    Is the account an Administrator or a basic user?
