☞ 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 icon grid.

  • Cannot download (song name) because not enough access priveleges.

    I am new to this forum desperate for answers to figure out what the error message means Cannot download (song name) because you do not have enough access priveleges. Please check that the network connection is active and try again.
    I have been onto the itunes help people and they weren't particularly helpful, then my friend suggested to google the error message and a ton of messages came up including this forum. Someone had posted that you have to check that you have read and write priveleges for your music folder. It said in finder right click and then click get info and click something else and make sure its set except i dont know what "finder" is and whereever i rightclicked and got get info it was for a song title not for a folder.
    I am using the latest version of itunes and windows XP. I am a reasonably new user to itunes. I have already turned off the firewall which was what the itunes help people suggested and it did nothing.
    Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    from Erin

    HI katrina
    thankyou for replying i went to the folder and did as you said and unclicked "read only" then i clicked apply. I went back into itunes which is still throwing out the same error message on some songs but not all of them and tried to download the ones that had been rejected by the error message but unfortunately the error is still occuring.
    Any other ideas? I have asked everyone i can think of about this.
    I am wondering if it has something to do with this administrator stuff? I am currently a computer administrator on windows XP anyway but i read in the help section if you hold shift and right click then you can choose run as except i do not have a password for my account normally and there is the option of run as "administrator" but it wants a password which i do not have. My father in law made this computer and i have also asked him although he knows nothing about itunes as he has never used it i am sure it has something to do with windows not the itunes program i just dont know what.
    I could always be wrong on that too! the other idea someone had was to uninstall and reinstall the program which is a bit of a pain and it may not solve the issue.
    any more ideas on this greatly appreciated.

  • Not enough access priveleges to sync photos

    Hi friends,
    When synching my iPhone5s to my laptop computer I get the message (in step 5 of 6) that I do not have enough access priveleges for this operation.
    Please give me any help with this that you can. I think there is something related to iPhone photo cache settings, but I cannot find where those settings are hidden. Thank you so much,
    Keepflying

    Hello there, gregg220.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides steps for troubleshooting persmissions issues with iTunes:
    Trouble adding music to iTunes library or importing audio CD
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1387
    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.
    Look here for help in correcting the permissions on folders:
    OS X:
    Troubleshooting permissions issues in OS X
    Windows XP:
    How to set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions in Windows XP
    Note: Permissions and privileges for files are different from authorization to play a song purchased from the iTunes Store. Click here for information on authorizing a purchased song to play.

  • I am having difficulty downloading tunes from iCloud to my PC. I am getting an error message 5000 'not enough access privileges' I have checked and seem to have full access. Help appreciated!

    I am having difficulty downloading purchased tunes in iCloud to my PC. I get error code 5000 and a message "not enough access priviledges" I have checked this out and seem to have full rights. I could download tunes before they put them on iCloud. Any help appreciated.

    This refers to permissions on your computer which must have been changed. Start by using Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then do the following:
    Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.

  • 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.

  • Itunes cannot save songs; not enough access privileges

    I get this message when importing songs into itunes: “The iTunes library cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.” I am the administrator, but don't know what to do. After I click OK, iTunes continues downloading and the songs appear to be there, but does it mean the files are not being saved? I have Windows XP, SP2, and the latest itunes version.

    I just resolved this issue by going through every folder and making pretty much my entire computer accessible to the entire universe. Key is to apple to all.

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

    I have a hp computer and I created another account on the computer so it's me and my mom's account. I been using my mom's but I want to sync it on my part of the computer and it says I don't have enough access privileges? I need help ASAP please?

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

  • Not enough access problems

    Hello. I am having a problem when I try to burn a cd in Itunes I receive an error message. Not Enough Access Privliges. I also get the same message when I plug in my Ipod. I get a message saying that there is an upgrade for my Ipod. When I click on it I get the same message. So far I havent had any other problems with sincing my Ipod and transfering music. I havent purchaced anything from the Itunes Store yet so I dont know if that would be a problem also. I wanted to find a solution before buying anything. Thank You for any advice

    Although the permissions were correct on my drive and folder, I reapplied them and that seemed to fix the issue.

  • Failed: Not Enough Access on Workflow

    Hi!!
    On the Sub-status on planning workflow for some members display this error Failed: Not Enough Access , this is because security access??? because the member had the user access...

    Dear John,
    I faced with the same issue. The Planning unit hierarchy has additional dimension "Segment". Thus, for the Entity "entity1" was chosen one of the segment, for example, "corporate". The user has write access to the members "corporate" and "entity1". So, in process management he can see two planning unites:
    entity1
    entity1: corporate
    He can change status without errors for "entity1: corporate" but the error message "Failed: Not Enough Access" appear when he tried to change status for "entity1".
    I would be grateful if you would explain particularly what is wrong with access permissions.
    Thank you.
    Andrew

    When I try to sync my iPhone, I get the message: The iPhone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation.
    The iPhone won't sync anymore.  How can I fix this?

    This works even for my ipod on my computer. I recently time machined myself and when i open intunes it always does all that backgroud magic and  pops up saying "....You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation."
    It turns out i don't need that, because i do not use sync. I do not sync. I don't use the sync. I abstain from getting my sync on...etc.
    The first solution posted above works, i'll repeat it but  credit goes to King_Penguin a true friend from the motherland! Just find this one file and delete it.

    I've just downloaded Itunes 10 on my rebuilt laptop (windows vista) and when I'm trying to sync my ipod touch it gives the error message - "You don't have enough access priveleges for this operation". I'm connected my ipod touch to another laptop (running Windows 7) and it syncs fine. Any ideas on how to overcome this issue?
