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

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.

HT1386 not enough access privileges to sync i pad to i tunes ?

not enough access privileges to sync i pad to i tunes ?

I am having the same problem. I had been able to sync with no problem but I changed some of the System Preferences for syncing two computers with Mobile Me. Now I can only sync the iPod Touch if I use the advance features in the Info panel to replace all of the items on iPod Touch. That works the next time I sync but I get the subject message when I try to sync again.

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 permissions to sync

Itunes error on mac - not enough access priveleges

When trying to update applications or download music purchased i am getting the error message you may not have enough access privileges and check your network connection and try again.
i am not using itunes match.
able to update and download from mobile devices.
What could be cause of problem?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ 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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again.

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.

Launch iTunes on your new computer then from the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Try syncing.
If that didn't work, deleting the photo cache helped for the same issue here > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/997075?start=0&tstart=0

"The iPod...cannot be synced. You do not have access priveleges for this...

I'm trying to play the songs in my 80GB iPod through my computer at work. However, every time a new song comes on, a prompt screen pops up that says, "the ipod...can not be synced. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation." I have all settings on manual. If it's because I have authorized too many computers, how to I reset that function without resetting the whole thing? This thing is driving me nuts!

I suspect this might be either a security software issue or a folder permissions issue.
What security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware) do you have on the PC at work? Is it set to scan attached storage drives?
What operating system does the work PC use? XP, Vista or 7? Does your user account on that PC have full administrative rights, or do you have less rights than that?

Am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen. i get this message: not enough access privileges."

i am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen with my music on the cloud, via a desktop PC.
I have successfully done this in the past.
now I am getting a series of messages: "not enough access privileges"
have reset the nano and also downloaded latest iTunes software.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm having a very similar problem, so I was excited to see the link above. But when I click on it, it redirects me to the nike.com main website (I'm assuming Nike redid their website since the above link was posted). Could you please point me to that article somewhere else or tell me how you fixed your problem?
My exact problem is this: I was running until recently with my iPod Nano 6th gen and the Nike+ sensor kit (sensor that goes in the Nike+ shoe plus receiver that goes in the iPod Nano). When I would sync my Nano with iTunes (I would have the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option checked), all was well with this set-up as far as syncing my stuff to the Nike+ website goes.
I recently realized that for the iPod Nano 6th generation, the sensor/receiver combo is not required anymore. So I ran two runs without the receiver. I kept the sensor in the shoe though as nowadays I mostly run with my recently purchased Nike+ Sport GPS watch and I like to have the sensor in the shoe in case the GPS signal gets lost at some point during a run. Anyway, those two runs that I ran without the receiver won't sync to my nikeplus account. I can see them in my iPod Nano's history and I can see one of them (the latest one) on the Nike + iPod tab of iTunes when I sync my Nano. The difference though is that on iTunes this latest run appears under a "Sensor 1" selection, whereas all my previous runs with both the sensor and receiver would be under "Nike + Sensor" selection. Within the "Nike + Sensor" selection, under nikeplus.com, there's the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option and below it a Login ID that shows my Nike+ website log-in info. Within the "Sensor 1" selection, the Login ID is missing. I've tried renaming "Sensor 1" to something else but it didn't make the Login ID appear.
Thank you for reading this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Dimitris.

I have windows 8 and now i cannot sync my ipad due to not enough access privialges

I have a toshiba satellite C55-A PC running Windows 8. I can sync my iphone5 but no longer my ipad. The response is not enough access privilages.
Please help!

it's your windows user rights which is the problem if you login with guest account or a user account with very few rights for writing then programs you start have as few rights and that would mean that sync is not an option because itunes would have have writing rights to write the data transfered from the ipad to it's harddisk

You don't have enough access priveleges for this operation error message

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?
