Itunes no permission

I'm trying to install Pocket cloud through iTunes, however it doesn't allow me, I get a message saying "you don't have write access for your iTunes media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions in the finder help please! I've gone to the itunes folder and found where it says read and write and I don't understand what the problem is.

  • Possible solution to iTunes registry permission problem (Vista)

    My problem seems to closely mirror many of the ones I've been reading about here and elsewhere on other forums. And at least one person had the same exact problem when I tried to update, install, or even uninstall iTunes 7.6
    I kept getting an error that the registry key HKLM\Software\Classes\Interface{915DA835....blahblah} could not be opened, access denied etc. -- even though I was logged on as Admin and I tried running the iTunes package as Administrator.
    I tried modifying the permissions for that key. No dice.
    I tried a complete uninstall and registry dump of iTunes and QT-related keys -- I even used MS Windows Installer Utility. That didn't work. Moreover, when I tried to reinstall, I was locked out of other subkeys as well.
    Then I was searching around MS's support forums and found this thread:
    http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1423928&SiteID=1
    There are detailed instructions (but not too complicated) to restore admin permission to the entire registry. I performed the first two steps of the instructions, and it worked fine.
    1) Specifically, I downloaded and ran the utility software
    2) Then created the .bat file using NotePad, pasted the command instructions and and saved the file
    3) Created a System Restore Point and backed up my registry
    4) Rebooted in safe mode with command prompt. I don't know if the safe mode reboot was necessary, but I wanted to make absolutely sure. (Note: the instructions say to "run from the elevated command prompt", which means running Command Prompt as Admin; I decided to use Safe Mode instead)
    5) I ran the program +(remember where you save it!)+
    c:\[dir where you saved it]>fixregistrypermissions.bat
    -- it took a few minutes to run completely, restoring permission to all but but 4 registry keys, for some reason.
    6) I restarted Vista normally (oddly, my system started running REAL SLOW; having just done all this last night, I'm not sure if this is now a new problem)
    7) Made another System Restore Point, to be safe
    8) _Uninstalled completely_ the remnants of iTunes and QT -- including Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour
    9) Made another System Restore Point
    10) Rebooted
    11) Dumped any app data and folders related to iTunes (deleted AND empty recycle bin); I was not able to remove the Bonjour folder
    12) Rebooted
    13) Installed iTunes package (run as Administrator); I even ran it in XP Compatibility Mode, which resulted in a prompt that the program is supposed to run in Vista. OK, whatever.
    14) Rebooted
    15) Launched iTunes, launched QT. Worked fine.
    16) Plugged in my Nano and iTunes and iTunes recognized it, no problem.
    Hope this works for the rest of you...
    PS: I forgot to mention that successfully reinstalled iTunes using the full software package download available at http://apple.com/downloads
    I also disabled the automatic updates, which was how my problem started in the first place!

    Try modifying the extension.

    Were you guys having problems with any other Windows apps touching the registry, too? I'm having a ton of these problems, mostly where my apps won't retain reg saved information like settings, etc. iTunes is the first place I noticed it, though. I also can't boot into Vista's safe mode without getting a crcdisk.sys error. Running the msft application to edit reg perms didn't help me as many of them failed.
    Any ideas?
    No problems that I can tell, though I came back to this thread to remind me how to fix it because iTunes started acting up again. <grr!>
    But if you've tinkered with the registry before, that could cause a lot of problems. I would check with Microsoft about the "crcdisk.sys" error. Sorry, buy I don't know what that is.
    As far as having to fix it this time around, good thing I still had the .bat file on my computer. I ran it again, tried "repair" of iTunes in the Control Panel instead of the laborious process of uninstall/reinstall. I have to reboot to see if that worked. :fingers crossed:

  • Syncing behaviour/direction of individual content type in iTunes

    Hi fellows. I wish to clarify my understanding of how iTunes sync (overwrite) the individual content type on an iPod. The scenario is: when I sync an iPod with another new library, typically we will be prompted with the warning message, "+this iPod is currently synced with another library. If you choose to sync it with this library, all the existing content will be replaced with the content on this library+" (or some similar warning). My doubts are as follows:
    Qn1. Am I right to say that, even if I click "okay" to that warning message above, the actual "replacing" +doesn't start immediately+ as iTunes will wait for the user to select what subset of content he wants, & more importantly, for the user to click the "sync" button (near the bottom right of iTunes) before the actual erasing and replacing begins?
    Qn2. Does iTunes treat each content type as separate libraries, i.e. in the context of "approving" iTunes's demand to overwrite the existing content on the iPod with content from iTunes own, current library, if the "sync" checkbox on the other content type's tab is unchecked, will that existing content type stored on the iPod be excluded from the erasing and replacing?
    I understand this may be very confusing, so allow me to illustrate my question with a specific example:
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/ralliart12/blog180610/iTunes%20library%20revisit/initially_unchked_for_unpairedipod.png
    If I choose to sync music from the current iTunes library to an iPod that was previously synced with another library, and I approved iTunes to go ahead and replace the existing music on the iPod with the music from the iTunes library but I have the "Sync Apps" checkbox unchecked, will the apps +on the iPod+ be wiped? Similarly, if the "sync movies" checkbox on the Movie tab is unchecked, will the movies on the iPod be wiped when I allow iTunes to replace the music library on the iPod with the songs from iTunes?
    Qn2a. If iTunes treat syncing each content type libraries on their own, are music and movies treated as one library?
    Qn2b. What determines the initial "checked/unchecked" status of each of those check-boxes in the diagram above when an iPod that is synced with another library, is connected to iTunes for the first time?
    In fact (this paragraph is not a qn; just a comment) I find the manner in which this is handled in iTunes to be inelegant. E.g. suppose in the context of qn2 iTunes treat all content type libraries as one unified library, and once I give iTunes the permission to erase the songs on the iPod with the songs from its current library but say I don't wanna replace the apps on the iPod with the apps from this iTunes library; neither do I wish to replace the podcasts on the iPod with the podcasts on this iTunes library. I can goto the "Apps" tab and uncheck "Sync Apps", but I could not goto the "Podcasts" tab and uncheck "Sync podcasts" without committing/applying the updated aps syncing conditions first. So if the "Sync podcasts" checkbox was checked for some reason, the podcatss on the iPod will be replaced with podcasts from the iTunes library without my "permission".
    For those who are veterans with this sync-ing behaviour stuff, I sincerely hope to gain some insight as to how iTunes behaves (in these contexts above). Thanks n advance.

    I'm going to duck out of giving you a definitive answer on the grounds that I don't really know and I don't have the resources or time to check the details. However I may still have something to offer. As you've observed the process is more than a little obscure, but the safest option is to assume that if you attempt to move your device from syncing with one library to syncing with another you will lose all the existing media content on the device.
    The exact details will ultimately depend on the type of device. For example, while many can be *manually managed* with more than one library the iPhone (and I think the Shuffle) can only take content from one library even in this mode. More particularly when you manually add content to an iPhone every file that you have on the device will be compared with it's "original" in your library and if there isn't a matching file the one on the device will be removed. In contrast on a "synced" iPod Classic you could (not that it's a good idea) remove larger physical files such as movies once they've been synced to the device and, although iTunes might issue a warning, it will not remove the existing files as long as there are still coresponding entries in the library.
    With the exception of the transfer of purchased content all sync operations are strictly library to device. iTunes will have a good go at throwing away your data given half a chance. For this reason I strongly urge that you make backups of your library and media files and certainly never rely on the device to hold the only copy of any of your precious files.
    It's not clear why you want this information, but if you're determined to tease out the finer details then it shouldn't be too hard for you to create a number of small distinct test libraries and actually try it out for yourself. If the issue is that you simply want the freedom to update your device from more than one computer then this is perfectly feasible. Simply put your entire library on an external (preferably host powered) usb drive and take it with you. I take one further step and sync my library with my local drive at each end using SyncToy 2.1 so that I end up with 3 mutual backups for the same library, one at home, one at work, and the one I carry between them. I can open any of the three libraries on my PCs or connect the portable version to any computer running the same build of iTunes to update any of my devices without losing any content.

  • Nice explanation of iTunes U authentication

    I was having problems understanding how the above works, and Richard Wolf, who is assisting us in getting our site up and running, e-mailed me the following explanation, he agreed to let me post it.
    I hope it helps others that may be stuck...it's in two parts, here it is:
    iTunes U credentials are in the form of MACE URNs united to a "role". More on roles in a bit ...
    Formally speaking, a URN is a URI and similar to a URL (a URL is also a URI). The main difference between a URN and a URL is that a URN "names" something within the web whereas a "URL" locates it. But the distinction that used to exist between a URL and URN is now a lot fuzzier than it once was. After all, URLs often do "name" things today ... and URNs often do contain the notion of "location" within them. But, for simplicity, think of a URN as a fancy way to "name something" on the web without necessarily locating it anywhere in particular. For example, you could have "color:red" ... or "suit:spades" ... these "names" wouldn't exist at any website ... they'd just be a common way of naming "things" within the web.
    Technically speaking, a URN does not have to start with "urn" just as a URL does not have to start "url" ... a URN could start out like this: "isbn:" or "color:" just as a URL can start out "http:" or "ftp:". However, it's common to start out URNs with "urn:" ... that way, there's no confusion. After the "urn:" part, URNs follow the same rules for construction as any URI would. There's a whole RFC devoted to URI and URN formation.
    MACE is the "middleware for education" initiative and is part of the Internet2 project. MACE has formally claimed a subset of the URN namespace. Again, there is an formal RFC that explains/refines MACE's URN subset rules. Apple, in turn, has claimed a subset of the MACE URN namespace ... specifically for use with iTunes U.
    So you basically have this:
    All possible URNs ---contains---> all MACE URNs ---contains---> all iTunes U URNs
    This "containment" is shown in the form of every iTunes U credential. They all start out this way:
    urn:mace:itunesu.com
    In order to distinguish things you name at Connecticut College from staff I name at UIC, Apple adds a site subset to each URN:
    urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu
    urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:uic.edu
    Basically speaking, the powers that be outside Apple own this part of all iTunes U URNs:
    urn:mace:itunesu.com
    And Apple owns this part:
    sites:conncoll.edu
    sites:uic.edu
    We own everything that goes after.
    This "ownership" prevents any of us from naming things in such a way that we create any namespace conflicts. Anything after our site name is stuff that we ourselves own ... we can name things however we want (so long as we don't introduce any local namespace conflicts). What you do with your part of the URN namespace is only limited by your imagination.
    So you could create URNs that look like this:
    urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu:liberal-arts
    urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu:liberal-arts:english
    urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu:liberal-arts:english:101
    urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu:liberal-arts:english:101:section-2
    urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu:liberal-arts:english:101:section-2:seat- 24
    "In theory" you do not need the "urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu" part of the URN ... but if you omit it, you run the risk of a namespace conflict with some other site.
    Also, as I'm sure you've noticed by now, the parts of the URN are separated by colons.
    Okay, now onto roles ...
    In iTunes U, a "credential" is the sum of a "role" and a "context". The context is given by the URN and the "role" is what a user of iTunes U assumes within that context. So you could have:
    Instructor@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu
    -- an "instructor" within "Connecticut College"
    Student@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu:liberal-arts:english:101
    -- a "student" within "English 101 at Connecticut College"
    Dean@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu:liberal-arts
    -- the "dean" of "Liberal Arts at Connecticut College"
    Again, "roles' are anything you can imagine. Apple does predefine some roles though ... there is the "Administrator" role, the "All" role, the "Authenticated" role, and the "Unauthenticated" role. Other than those roles, you can have whatever other roles you like. Roles are what makes sense to you and how you want Connecticut College's iTunes U access to work.
    A "permission" in iTunes U is the sume of a credential plus an access level. Access levels are only defined by Apple. The three most commonly used access levels are "NO ACCESS", "DOWNLOAD", and "EDIT". When you give an access level to a credential, you are saying that someone holding that credential has that access (usually within the context described within the credential). For example, if you give Instructor@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu "EDIT" access within a specific course, then any person holding the that credential will be able to edit the course.
    So, in summary, we've got this:
    An iTunes U Permission = Credential + Access Level
    Credential = Role + Context
    A "Context" in iTunes U is given in the form of a MACE URN
    A "MACE URN" is basically a name you want to assign some entity (a class, college, etc) at your school.

    Ok, here is Richard's Part Two:
    When Apple deals with users of iTunes U, they have, effectively, no idea who the user making a particular request actually "is". All user interactions with iTunes U, even administrator accesses, are just "sessions" to Apple ... they're just connections ... there is no specific "user" involved. So how does Apple know how to restrict access for the user who initiates one session from another user who initiates a different session?
    Well, every iTunes U session carries with it a set of credentials. A credential is like a high-school hall pass ... it doesn't say who the person bearing it actually "is" ... but it does say what "role" the person bearing it "has" ("AV tech" or "student aide" or "sick person") and in which context the bearer's hall pass is valid ("the projection room in the auditorium" or "the librarian's office" or "the nurse's office"). A high school student might carry multiple passes at the very same time ... each would be valid within a specific context ... which pass is used depends upon the context. So the "library" pass would be used when the student wants to assume the role of "student aide" in "the librarian's office".
    This system of high school hall passes ... well ... it utterly depends upon a trusted party to issue the passes in the first place. For example, only a trusted teacher who actually "knows" a student can issue him/her the "student aide" pass the visit the "library". The librarian might not know a particular student ... but if the librarian knows that a trusted teacher issued that student a properly-formatted hall pass, he/she should let the student in with all the privileges that such a pass allows the student to have within the context of the library.
    This is EXACTLY how iTunes U crednetialling works. You are like a trusted teacher that "knows" your students and that issues them iTunes U credentials. In fact, that is precisely the role o the iTunes U portal website ... it takes users and maps them onto a set of credentials. Apple then uses those credentials to create an iTunes U session for the user, granting him/her any rights associated with those credentials. The credentials that you use are entirely up to you ... Apple simply honors them. Since every site is different -- has different rules/roles -- the credentialling one site might setup could be utterly different from another's. That is why the Admin Guide is so very vague about the iTunes U portal website ... it describes "in general" what you need to do, but leaves the specifics up to you. Apple simply cannot know the way in which you might like to map users to credentials.
    When chatted about the kind of setup you wanted for Connecticut College, you said that you wanted to create four basic roles ... "student", "faculty", "manager", and "sysop". Those seemed like reasonable roles, so they were mapped this way:
    student --maps-to--> Student@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu
    faculty --maps-to--> Faculty@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu
    manager --maps-to--> Manager@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu
    sysop --maps-to--> Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:conncoll.edu
    The only guy I really altered here is "sysop" ... since Apple predefines the "Administrator" role, I assumed you probably wanted to map "sysop" to it.
    But notice that the context in each of the defined credentials for Connecticut College (the MACE URN part) is no more specific than your entire site ... there is no way I could make it more specific because I do know what students will be in what classes. Based upon the groups you defined on your portal, I can determine if a user is "in" a group ... and once I know that a user is a part of a group, I can assign a corresponding credential. Since an iTunes U session is not limited to just one credential, the portal checks whether a user is in any of the four groups and adds a corresponding credential if he/she is. For example, I put myself in each of your four groups ... so if I login to your iTunes U site, I'll have a session with all four credentials ... I'll assume all four roles. Take me out of a group, and the next time I login to your portal, I won't have the corresponding credential.

  • Group differs on "Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist";

    As the title suggests I got this issue which is annoying because it is causing high inactive memory & this obstacles all the rest . Means I must do 2-3 times a day repair permissions with Disk Utility .
    Group differs on “Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist”;
    It gets repaired & then all over again . So far I could not find a solution . I have already sent feedback to Apple .
    That's all folks , if anyone knows how to handle this it would be nice , at least until there is an official response .
    Thank you , have a nice day .

    bump
    I actually have this all the time. com.apple.alf.plist is always repaired whenever Disk Utility repairs permissions.
    I also came across somewhere that it was included in the solution for a problem about iTunes requesting permission to access internet everytime it is launched. And I had that issue as well. (iTunes asks for my permission for internet access everytime I launch it.) And the solution proposed for this included the deletion of this "com.apple.alf.plist" regarding a firewall issue. Although I deleted the file, Disk Utility still repairs this file (though iTunes haven't yet asked for internet permissions.) everytime I run the permission repair.
    I suppose there has got to be a solution to keep the file stable, like without causing the repair.
    Not a big issue, as mentioned in the thread title; but still, this may be the cause or result of something going on in the computer; so any suggestions are welcome.
    Cheers!

  • Iphone 4 cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found

    Tried to sync my iphone 4, but this error comes up.  Cannot be synced.  Required file cannot be found. Please help.

    The problem is itunes lacks the permission to get into the folder that it defaults the library where the items have to be in order to be synced to your device. So what you need to do is to go into my computer and click on your local disk( usually its C.) and without clicking anything else right click and it will bring up a menu go down to new and add a new folder by the name of itunes media or something. Once you have the folder, open itunes and go up to edit at the top and prefereances. go to the advanced tab and the first thing will be an area showing the location of your itunes media folder. That is the location itunes lacks permission to get to, so what you are going to need to do is go to click change, that will bring up a location for you to change it to. At that point simply find the folder that you created which should be right inside your local disk(not inside any other folders) then just put all your stuff you want sent to itunes here and you are set.

  • Intermittent Remote Speaker

    I have a MAC and two PC computers that run iTunes 7.0.2. Each computer (one at a time) has been playing to two remote speaker systems in the house just fine for some time.
    Just recently (possibly after upgrading to 7.0.2), even though both remote speaker systems and computer speakers are seen by iTunes in all computers, if I try to play more than one remote system (Airport Express for each remote) from the three selections see by the each computer(computer, living room, tv room), the two remote selections won't play. I can select "computer speaker" only by itself or only one remote at a time. If I select more than one remote at a time, or a remote and computer, I get, "An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "xxx". An unknown error occurred (-3256).
    Any ideas what's going on?
    iMac and PC   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   PC's have Windows XP and Professional

    This is a firewall issue most likely. I was having the same problem. And I went to my firewall (norton internet security) and disabled it, and it worked.
    Then I went in and gave iTunes the permission to do everything and it worked fine as well.
    There is an apple support ticket that almost covers it, but brings up UDP as the culprit.

    However, my firewall had allowed UDP, so it might be something else that the firewall is blocking.

  • IMac and Vista

    I have iTunes running on an iMac and a Windows Vista machine. All my songs are stored on the iMac. I have a home network using Airport Express. I want to know how can I access my music from my Vista PC. I thought I set it up correctly, and the Vista machine can see the songs on the iMac, but when I try to play a song, I get the account and password box that I get when I purchase a song. I enter the information and it tells me the computer has been authroized, but the song still does not play, and the account and password box keeps appearing. Help.

    I'm not sure this will help, but it's worth a try. Vista has a lot of built in security (as I'm sure you've discovered)! Make sure you've given iTunes "full permission" in all categories. I had tremendous problems with sharing a library between my XP and my Vista machine until I relaxed all security settings on the Vista machine.
    One thing you can check is the present iTunes security setting level for your Vista machine. To do this, go to the Start button>All programs>iTunes. Then right click on iTunes and choose Preferences. When this box opens, choose the security tab and then make sure EVERYTHING is permitted. If you need to alter settings, click on the advanced button.
    On Edit: I also had to do the following to get my Vista computer to share properly with my XP computer:
    I changed a setting in "My Network and Sharing Center". On the taskbar in the lower right corner, click on your internet icon. Then select "Network and Sharing Center" at the bottom of the menu box that opens. Scroll down to "Sharing and Discovery" and make sure "File Sharing" is on and "Media Sharing" is on. Save and close. (I actually had to reboot to get the change to take effect.)
    P.S.--I don't know how my windows XP to Vista advice translates to a Mac/Vista situation, so I apologize if this isn't relevant!
    I hope this helps somewhat!
    P.S.S.--Some of the advice given above is quite drastic and truly defeats the whole purpose of Vista's better built-in security. I'm not trying to be a jerk--but my solution (which works on my system) is a much safer alternative!

  • Downloaded installer just sits in memory and does nothing

    iTunes had permission issues and would not start up, I tried to uninstall itunes, and download version 11.0.1,
    but upon downloading the installer, it starts up, but it just sits there in memory, and does nothing.
    I am using windows 8, and a HP PC with a Intel 6 core processor

    I found my problem.  The iPad had apparently been synced with a different iTunes library (our family has three).  We never intentionally synced it to another library, but when I did the iOS 6 update (from 4.3), I think that I may have been logged into a different ID.
    While logged into the 'right' library in iTunes, when I selected the iPad device in the Sidebar (on the left), and then selected "Music" in the button bar along the top, I found that the "Sync Music" box was not checked.  I checked that.  Then when I hit 'sync', I got a message saying that this iPad is synced to a different library and asking if I wanted to lose that sync and establish the new one.  I said 'yes', and now things appear to be syncing.
    In my earlier trevails (described in the question), iTunes could easily have warned me that I was logged into one library, but trying to sync with an iPad that was previously synced with a different library.  Instead, it silently 'finished' the sync without running it.  AWESOME software design!!
    I love Apple's device design.  I think their software design, which seems to be all tangled up with Digital Rights Management, is too confusing.  There needs to be a way to make the model (the mix of multiple libraries and multiple devices) more apparent to the user.

  • How can I use family sharing, but allow my daughter to purchase with her iTunes allowance without asking permission?

    I love the idea of iTunes family sharing, but I don't think it currently supports my situation.
    My daughter's iTunes account gets a monthly allowance (plus occasional gift cards), and does not have a credit card tied to it. That way, she can buy whatever she wants, but only with her existing account balance.
    I'd like to tie her account to mine via family sharing, but want to keep her spending limited to just her allowance balance. Also, I don't need to grant permission each time she wants to buy something when using her balance. Ideally, she would be permitted to buy exactly as she does now (no permission necessary, no credit card on the account, and only using allowance funds), but also be tied my family account to listen to music I've already bought.
    It appears that my 3 options are:
    Do not do family sharing and keep the accounts separate.
    Tie the accounts together, put "ask to buy" on her account, and then get bugged for permission each time she wants to get something (as well as keep track myself of her going over her allowance and dipping into my credit card).
    Tie the accounts together, don't use "ask to buy", and keep my fingers crossed that she doesn't spend more than her allowance amount (because iTunes would permit spending more than that and charge my card).
    Options 2 and 3 don't work for me, and option 1 doesn't take advantage of family sharing.
    Can I have a family sharing account that *doesn't* charge to my credit card?

    Hello jeffchr,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you don't want to be billed for a family members purchases. I would recommend that you read these articles, they explain the features options. 
    Family Sharing
    All new iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases initiated by family members will be billed to the family organizer’s account.
    Family purchases and payments
    Making purchases
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card.
    How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    Which payment methods will be used first?
    When you make a purchase, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits. Your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

    I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

    I would complete unlocking as is and then
    restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
    Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
    one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
    will likely take weeks
    This may also help

  • My iPhone 4 has been saying You do not have permission to access the requested resource whenever I try to watch one of the episodes I bought from iTunes. It will not let me watch them and I don't know why.

    A few days ago I bought a season of the series Psych off of iTunes. I was able to watch the first bunch without a problem but now all of a sudden when I try to watch one it says "You do not have permission to access the requested resource". I tried restarting my phone but that do not help. I cleared up a lot of space on my phone as well. I have and iPhone 4 with the update of iOS 6.1.3.

    Are you using the same Apple ID that the purchase was linked to?  I had this issue with a shared device, and the other person had logged out of my ID and logged in with hers.
    If it's the same ID, then try redownloading the purchase.

  • Why when I try to login the Itunes Connect with my Apple ID it always says: "Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect."?

    Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.
