Not enough privileges!

Lots of stuff on the issue in general but cn't see anything direct.
Have been told not enough privileges when installing downloaded applications. The latest was a Card Raider update was one yesterday not sure what it was. Both were 'drag and drop into applications' installs. Haven't tested a package installer app yet.
Thing is the user I was in was an admin user. Yes I di check to see if he had been demoted. He had not according to System Preferences, and he was able to do some other authentications.
I got over the problem by enabling root and using that account to install. However has anyone any idea what the source of the problem is, and what is the proper solution?

Do you only have that admin user? You could use a second account to see if it occurs on both or just one of them.

Not enough privileges moving files on network.

I have about 10,000 files to move from my iMac to Mac pro, dropbox. I get these messages "You don't have enough privileges or permission to copy xyz.jpg file " and it stops.
It occurs all the time on different files. If I copy that specific forbidden file individually...I have no problem. These "permission" pop up messages are too much for me to handle. I might have to spend days to transfer all the files.
Well, what could be the answer? Why are some files get copied and some not when I transfer in bulk?

Do you only have that admin user? You could use a second account to see if it occurs on both or just one of them.

Cannot sync my ipod to itunes on new computer - not enough privilege

I purchased brand new HP desktop (model M8517C) has Intel quad core processor @ 2.4ghz with 5 gb RAM. Tried to sync ipod to this new computer and worked partly for the first time and since it is not working. During the part syncing it deleted all previous data and now does not sync atall.
Error "The iPod "my name - xxx" cannot by synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
The current computer has only one log in account and so it does have administrator privileges and all privileges. I tried everything that I could think of wasting several hrs but it will not sync.
I have obviously installed the latest version of the iTunes software. The ipod is 60 GB model from few yrs ago and I dont have any warranty.
Will appreciate any help.

Are you using the latest downloaded version of iTunes from Apple.com, instead of a version that came on disc with the iPod? According to this article, Windows Vista 64-bit required iTunes 7.6 or later
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1426
Also, make sure you got the version of iTunes 8 for Windows Vista 64-bit

Publish to Folder -- Not enough privileges??

Hope someone can help me out here.. I have been using iWeb to update my existing web site. Seems to work OK save for one thing! If I make some changes, publish to my folder and upload the site it's fine. However, if I leave iWeb open and then make some updates a few days later and go to publish to the same folder it tells me it can't do so because I don't have enough access privileges or something like that. If I close iWeb and reopen, it publishes fine.
If this is a bug, how would i go about reporting it to Apple to maybe get it fixed in an update? It's not horrible, just mildly frustrating to have to close and reopen the program.
BTW, the reason I update my site frequently is I am a teacher and use it to post weekly assignments et. so it has to be updated once a week at the least...
Thanks for any help you can offer
Eric

OK, hold up. After I have edited my file(s) I DO save them and upload them. Then, as I said, on another day I may need to change something. So I go do that and that is when I get the error. Yes, I could close the program each time I am done, but I do tend to leave ALL my programs open for quick access. Other programs are fine with that -- Example, Word never yells at me that I don't have access privileges when I edit a file save it and come back to it several days later. If I'm an admin on my own computer I think I would have the privileges.
Also, I should mention I am the type of user that simply leaves my computer on all the time. I like having instant access to my files and apps.
so, I guess really the question still becomes why CAN'T I leave iWeb open and use it whenever I want like I can with all other programs?

Not enough privileges to uninstall Avg Linkscanner through CCleaner.

I've been trying to uninstall AVG LinkScanner for sometime now to install the Norton Anti-virus I bought, how can I uninstall it?
I can't uninstall it through CCleaner as it says I don't have enough priviliges to do that operation. Can anyone shed any light on the situation?
Thanks,
Ben.

CCleaner has its place, browsers like Safari and Chrome cache history preferences can all use an easy way to get rid of all the junk they leave on your hard drive and is very safe and benign. As to using it to uninstall, it relies on the programs to have proper uninstallers themselves,which of course they don't. Norton is crap on Macs.

When I try to open Itunes it tells me that I do not have enough privileges to open this application. How do I fix that?

When I try to open Itunes it keeps telling me that I do not have enough privileges to open this application. Can someone help me fix this?

first, launch disk utility (in applications > utilities) and repair permissions for your boot disk.
next, check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
the important part is to apply to enclosed items !

i am unable to sync my ipad 4th generation with iTunes. I get a message saying I do not have enough privileges for this operation

To be honest I'd be very tempted to ring Applecare and explain that prior to downloading iOS5 your iPod Touch worked perfectly however since downloading Apple's new iOS5 it's "bricked" therefore can they as a matter of decency try to help put things right warranty situation notwithstanding. Afterall it does appear to be one of Apple's products that has broken your previously working iPod Touch.

I didn't know that iTunes had a 64bit download. I have Windows 7 Home Premium with 64bit operation system. I downloaded the iTunes for 64bit and it seems to have corrected the problem. I haven't received the message yet since I did this.

Hi,
I've checked your site users and it show each having full administrative permissions.
Unfortunately I'm not sure why this error would prompt otherwise. Please reach our direct chat support to help investigate this further if the error continues.

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.

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.

I get message:can't save library file not enough access privileges.Don't understand what this means?

I get message:"Can't save library file. Not enough access privileges" .Don't understand what this means. No visible effect that I can see now.

Classic example of why you should save your workm in progress...just hit Ctrl+s to do it on the fly.
Yes I know. But it is the first time I work with Photoshop on such a big project and I thought it would be more stable.. Do the newer versions manage the memory better ?
You can shrink your image down which will make it smaller enough to save
Not enough memory to resize the image. And in the manipulation, it would corrupt some of my layers..
you can try to save as a diffeent format
I could succesfully save in Bitmap format. But I lose all my layers info..
The making loads of screen shots would be good if it wasnt really an
option seeing as it would use even more memory to do that then put the
image together out of the screen shots.
I made screen shots without any problem. I saved them through MS Paint without any memory problem, while Photoshop in parallel was just used as a static image for snapping...

Not enough privileges!
