ITunes Access Privileges Problem
I've just purchased a new imac and tried to load itunes for the first time on this machine. I'm running OSX 10.6.7 and iTunes version 10.2.1
The application loads and i get to see the welcome screen, then a pop up box appears and says i dont have sufficient access privileges for this operation and the application then crashes. I've tried uninstalling itunes and downloading another version. I've tried creating another admin account and installing under a new profile. Each time the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas that might help?

I've had the same problem with the sync. I've tried all sorts of changing permissions with no success. It appears to be some communication problem between iTunes and Vista. I haven't heard any fixes for this. I guess all we can do is wait for another iTunes update.
Also, when syncing, some songs will go onto the ipod others wont, anyone have this happen? Seems strange that some songs would make it onto the ipod and others wouldn't when they all have the same permissions. Thanks.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

hmmmmmmmmmmm. one other thing that might be worth a try if all else fails. i have once seen something like this turn out to be caused by a really kinky version of this issue:
iTunes: "privileges" or "permissions" issue when importing audio CD or adding music to library
... where the permissions were odd on the ipod itself ... but i've only seen that happen once. it's probably worth checking on only if nothing else seems to be working for you.

Access privilege problems after transferring user to computer
Hi
I gave my flat screen iMac (lamp-shade version) to my parents when I bought a new Intel Core Duo. They had an older iMac. Both their old computer and the one I gave them are running 10.2.8. I connected the computers with a firewire, created a new user (with admin status) and transferred their user info onto my old computer. It all seemed fine, except now when I log on as them all of the applications have access privilege problems. Is there a global way for me to give them read and write access to everything?
Thanks
Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.4)You may need to post this in one of the older iMac forums iMac (CRT) or iMac (Flat panel) where someone may still be running OSX which is that old. As you may realize with your new iMac and 10.4, much has changed.
Are you sure that when you sign in as the administrator and go to System Prefs/Accounts and view your access to the account that you created for them there are no access limitations? -
ITunes 7 Privilege Problems with Non-Administrator Account
Hello,
I've installed iTunes 7 on WinXP using my account, which is in the Administrators group. However, when I attempt to launch it under another account (which is in the Power Users group, but is not an administrator), a window is displayed with the following message:
"Please wait while Windows configures iTunes".
This occurs every time I launch iTunes. Afterwards, I sometimes receive a message indicating this account doesn't have privileges necessary to start a service and the configuration step is undone. Other times, I receive the following:
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I really don't want to give this account Administrator privileges. What are my options?
Thanks.Here are a couple of things to try:
1. Create a group called IpodUsers
2. Add restricted users you want to access itunes
3. goto: START>MY COMPUTER navigate to Program Files
4. Find the iTunes, Quicktime, and Apple Update folder.
5. Right click on on the folder and select Properties goto the Security Tab
6. Click add, Add in IpodUsers, in the lower pane place check mark in Full Control box. Repeat for the other 2 folders
That should allow your users to access the program

I am having trouble installing Adobe Flash Player 9 UB on my iMac it says I dont have enough access privileges, I am logged on as a Administrator,I have repaired permissions in disk utility and done terminal command ( sudo chmod 1775 /Volumes/"Volume Name" ) also done root command (chown -R userid /Volumes/XXXX ) all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
G4 Cube 20" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)These problems come from a bug with Adobe installers.
If you have a previous version of Flash (or other Adobe apps), and you wish to upgrade it, it must be installed from the same admin account used to install the previous version. If you no longer have access to the original admin account, follow the instructions on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=8d46f4f8
If you are seeing this problem with other non-Adobe apps, try trashing the old version of the app first before installing the new one. -

"Troubleshooting
If the Security tab is not available, and if you cannot configure permissions for users and groups, either the file or folder that you want to apply permissions to is not an NTFS drive, or simple file sharing is enabled. To troubleshoot, follow these steps:
1. Verify that the file or folder that you want to apply permissions to is an NTFS drive. You can set permissions only on drives that are formatted to use NTFS.
2. By default, simplified sharing is enabled in Windows XP unless you are on a domain. To work around this behavior, disable Simplified Sharing" -
How do I share iTunes access privileges with another user on my mac?
My wife and I use the same Mac. I recently created a separate user account for her after upgrading to Mountain Lion (so that we can get full functionality out of the new features). I gave her user account full administrator access as well as read & write sharing ability in certain folders... So why can she not purchase content on iTunes? What is the best way to extend the same iTunes account across different users on the same Mac?
I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!
Article ID: GEN82981 Updated: 8/11/2011 |
Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files. Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile. When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users. However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac. -
Access Privileges problem when restoring
Hi,
I accidentally deleted my entire music library this morning, but no worries, went into Time Machine to restore the files. I go back to the most recent backup that has the files (2 hours ago) and click backup. It then tells me that I do not have sufficient privileges to copy files to do the restore.
I am the only user, an admin, and have been using my backup drive with this computer for some time.

File access privilege problem when copying from 9.2.2 to 10.5.6
Hello,
I have two Macs (one running MacOS 9.2.2, the other running 10.5.6) connected with an ethernet crossover cable. FileSharing over TCP/IP is enabled on both machines. When copying files from the 9.2.2 machine to the OS X one (initiated from the OS X side), after some files have been copied, I get an (OS X) error message to the effect of "insufficient file privileges for file "AppleShare PDS"", followed by a message "insufficient privileges for "Macintosh HD"" ("Macintosh HD" is the volume's name the data is copied from), after which copying terminates.
The FileSharing connection to the 9.2.2 machine is established using the only user on that machine, who has read/write rights on the entire source volume.
Both volumes have been checked with the respective OS's disk utilities and reported OK.
Any ideas how to solve this?Hi, chap -
You might try restarting, then immediately hold the mouse button down, keep it held down until booting has finished. That's a hardware-based command to the Mac to eject all removable media.
You can download any needed firmware update for your iMac from these Apple Kbase articles -
Article #58174 - iMac: When to Install Available Updaters
Article #86117 - Firmware Updates
As eww suggests, reposting to the iMac CRT forum may be of benefit; there are sometimes model-specific peculiarities when it comes to migrating from OS 9 to OSX. -

Can anyone help me with this problem. ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC. I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC. I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem. I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account. Can anyone help?
A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them! -

"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.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277
Thanks, Apple.
