Library Cant Be Saved. You dont have enough Access Priveledges.????????????

So up until a few weeks ago, all was well with iTunes and Windows 7 and had been for months. Then I received an error message stating, "The iTunes Library cannot be saved. You do not have enough access priviledges." So basically, no changes or additions I make to my music stick. every time I open iTunes random changes still show up and others randomly change.
I've since checked with our IT people, tried changing Folder types, re-installed iTunes, tried to move the media files and plenty more. NOTHING WORKS!
After a lot of looking around on different forums, it seems that I'm not alone. Does Apple plan to repair whatever this bug is? I cant remember a time I got this angry with this product.
Does anyone have any answers?

Our IT company has installed VIPRE Enterprise on our machines. Not sure if that's one of the two you asked about or not. I know that the IT company administrates that app though.
Interesting ... usually the "can't be saved" messages are caused by security software real-time scans interfering with writes to iTunes library files. The ESET products are by far the worst offenders in this regard, but other products might also cause trouble.
Are you able to configure your VIPRE so it isn't doing realtime scanning of the iTunes library and content files? On a Windows 7 system, the default location for those items is in the following folder:
C:\Users\<YourUserAccountName>\My Music\iTunes

You might get more adept advice on the iPad forum.
It tells you to do videos because they take up a lot of room, then pictures. If you have tons of music on there, or other media then you can fill up a drive pretty quickly. You'll have to do an inventory of how much is on there.
I don't know anything about iPads but if they are anything like computers you need to empty the trash to actually free up space from deleted items.

On my mac, when I try to import certain music CDs (not all) I get this message "You dont have write access for your iTunes media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions, select your iTunes media folder in the finder, and chose file get info"

I am not sure how to fix this and it is driving me crazy can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi folks,
I've had this issue for a year now and I've read this and several similar articles on how to change permissions for you iTunes Media folder and all that enclosed stuff.
Well today, I got brave and dove into this issue once again and to my surprise I have it remedied.
Before I kept going to my side bar folder 'Music', then located the iTunes Media folder ( I have several libraries).
This time, I went from (your mac)HD, directly to the 'Library', scrolled to 'iTunes' and reworked my permissions there by creating a new user... (ME). While at it, I adjusted 'Administrator from and back to, 'read and write', gave myself, 'read and write' and left other users as 'read only.'
I then applied to all enclosed folders with the 'gear wheel,' locked the whole shabang up and proceeded to install several old CD's which refused to import in the past.
RECAP:
HD/Library/iTunes set permissions for YOU to 'read and write,' then apply to all enclosed folders.
BTW: those enclosed folders are likely to be all the albums you've collected previously.
Perhaps, the 'iTunes Media folder' description from previous instructions kept people looking in the wrong place.
In any case, I'm up and running and I hope you will be too.
Thanks,
PS

Hi: I have had itunes for ages and 2 wks ago says i dont have enough access privileges

I do have privileges is run as admin as has been for years on various laptops have unstalled and reinstalled twice. quicktimes will open but not itunes.

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Error message you don't have enough access privilages

how can fix when it says you dont have enough access privilages

I'll try Silverfast.
Err... Try VueScan first. VueScan have one-for-all software, Silverfast - lot of modules for specific scanners. If they not have version for your specific scanner - no chances.
VueScan works with at least some IRIS models: http://applejac.typepad.com/applejac_macintosh_users/2009/05/vuescan-universal-s oftware-image-capture-tool.html
And I see 10.7-10.8 support on IRIS page: http://www.irislink.com/c2-1628-189/Mac-OS-compatibility-support.aspx

"You Don't Have Enough Access Privileges" ?

Okay well I just recently re-installed Mac OS X Leopard and I had video I put on my external hard drive and when I try to put them in iTunes they say: Attempting To Copy to disk "Mini" failed because you dont have enough privileges." The "Get Info" says that the privileges are "read&Write" so what should I do so I can import my video?

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!
I know this isnt the iTUnes section but I thought this problem started of with Finder but.... I just tried downloading a podcast off iTunes and it says I dont have enough privileges there and buying a song so something is up with letting me add things to iTunes. WHAT DO I DO!!!!!!! + I cant edit any of my information when i click "Get Info"

10.5 "don't have enough access privs" after update

Everything has been peachy until I updated to iTunes 10.5 on my OSX 10.5.8. Now I get "you do not have enough access priveledges..." each time I open iTunes. Also, although I can access all my content yet, when I try to sync my iPhone, etc, it continually asks to authorize this computer but when I try it goes back to the permission problems.
I have used Disk Utility to repair permissions 3 times. I've restarted. I've done everything but nuke 10.5 and redownload. I'm worried about losing content. Any advice?

This is what I get when I try to authorize this computer:
"The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."
This is getting extremely frustrating

IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

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 have a new PC and I am getting the message "The iTunes Library File cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I am the only one using this PC and I have Windows 7 Pro and have an administrator account. Help

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!
