keep getting '' the itunes library file cannot be saved. you do not have enough access privledges'' when ever i try to add or change my library, why? have tried several suggestions on the internet to stop this from happening but with no success. i am running windows 7. has started happening since installing new security software. would this have anything to do with this problem? any suggestions
The location of the iTunes Library file may be read-only or owned by a different user.
Default locations:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<login>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Vista: C:\Users\<login>\Music\iTunes
Windows 7: C:\Users\My Music\itunes
Right click the iTunes folder and choose Properties
Look at the Attributes and see if Read-Only is checked.
Uncheck it and click OK, at the apply to all subfolders and files prompt, make sure all subfolders and files is selected and click OK.
If your iTunes library saves now you are done.
If it does not you will need to try on each directory above the iTunes directory.
Of course if you are not using the default locations you'll have to alter the path to the one you find in iTunes Edit->Preferences, Advanced tab. -
A window keeps appearing stating " The iTunes Library cannot be saved. You do not have enough privilages for this operation". New purchases and CD down loads are able to be saved to my iPod but not to my PC?

iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.
See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages. It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

I keep getting this message. It just suddenly started happening!
Actually, yes I used to have MS Antispyware installed, but now I have uninstalled it and upgraded to the Windows Defender program, which was supposed to be a replacement.
good lord.
okay, we would get some reports of people getting an "you don't have enough access privileges" message with regard to setting itunes as the default music player if they had MS Antispyware beta running during an itunes install.
let's try an experiment. try switching Windows Defender off prior to opening itunes.
do you still get the access privileges error message?

You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation
When I try to purchase music from itunes i get the following message, "You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation and I'm not able to download song enough though itunes deducted money from my redemption."
I don't know how much this will help you, I'm no tech, I went into my USER ACCOUNT and it said I had multiple Apple Ids so I deleted one on both my and my wifes desktop. Also, in Mac HD I highlighted library and users individually and "got Info" and made sure that all was turned to read and write and I also did that on the Mac HD icon. Then I took my music off my phone and re synced
My Mac was updated to Lion and I installed iCloud and was syncing my IPHONE 4S. We had no problem syncing my wife's iPad2 with the mac at all.
After I resynced with no warnings I used my utility to fix all my permissions. -

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.
