Sync Error "You do not have enough access privleges for this operation"

After up dating to iTunes 7.4.1.2, I get the following error message when syncing my iPhone;
"The iPhone (Phone Name) cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privleges for this operation."
I tried re-authorizing the computer as other users suggested but the error message persists. Restarting, rebooting have not helped.
Any ideas?

To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

I'm getting an error that says "The iPhone "------" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Everything will sync but the music. I am an administrator and all the files are organized. How do I sync my phone?

I cannot sync my iTunes library or any playlists to my iPhone due to a message that reads "The iPhone "-----" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation. I also have music on my iPhone that will not sync to my iTunes library. Any way to sync the two together?

I hope this helps. Not the easiest fix, but I suspect it will solve the problem.

If you're running Windows, close iTunes, right-click on the iTunes icon and choose Run as Administrator, then try syncing again.

The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. is preventing my iPhone from syncing. How do I fix it? I have changed permissions until blue in the face. What is going on? Why is this so hard? I just want to sync my phone.
A little background. My iTunes library is in a shared folder. My Aperture library is on a .DMG in the shared folder with "ignore permissions on this volume" checked. I have added myself with read and write privileges to everything that I can find. What gives? Thanks in advance.

PC, windows7, iphone4, updated iphone (5.0.1) and itunes (10.5.2.11) software. Started getting "iphone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" message.
Solution I found that worked: Uncheck "Sync photos from Iphone" in Itunes / Devices / Photos tab.

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.

If your iPad has a passcode lock, have you tried unlocking the iPad before attempting to sync it with iTunes?
Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your Windows PC?

What does this message mean, "The iPad cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation?"

I need some help syncing my iPad. I get a message about not having enough privileges for this operation. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

It means you are using windows and the user agent stuff is messed up.
Try looking at permissions on the drive iTunes library is on.
