  • IPod cannot be synced You do not have enough access for this operation

    Hi,
    We have one computer. My daughter & I have our own seperate user accounts via Vista through which we each have our own ITune accounts. ITunes music appears to be filed through C>User>Music>ITunes/ITunes Music (User being both myself & my daughter).
    I have tried copying music from User Me to User daughter, but I keep getting the following message: -
    *The User Ipod cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation.*
    Can anyone help me please? The music is legitimate either from ITunes or other audio CD's.
    An idiots guide to correcting this would be appreciated.
    Thx again

    Are you trying to use two itunes libraries on one iPod? If I'm not mistaken, you can't do this. You can try adding the songs from her library to yours and then syncing. It's just a guess so I may be completely wrong. There may already be a thread that addresses this so if you haven't tried already you should do a search to see if anyone else has already covered this topic.

    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.

  • I am trying to synced my iphone but I get an error message "the iphone cannot be synced you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    I have just installed itune on a windows 8 OS and am am trying to sync my iphone but it cannot import photos and come up with the error message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    Hey there Opal4,
    It sounds like you are unable to use iTunes due to this error message about not having enough access privileges. According to the following article you may need to change the permissions on the file directly:
    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.

  • The iphone cannot be synced. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation

    The iPhone"Kyle's iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enought access privileges for this opperation. what do i do?

    Thank you.
    I actually figured it out a while ago.
    Turns out it is not an issue with the iPhone or iTunes.
    By process of elimination I deduced it could be a permissions issue with the hard drive and/or folder that holds the contents of my Music Library.
    For example, if the "Sharing & Permissions" settings (found in the "Get Info" Window) are set to "Read Only" on the internal or external drive that contains your Music Library for iTunes then you can not write to the disk. Therefore, you do not have privelges to make changes to the internal or external drive and you get the error message when you try to sync with the information on that drive.
    Here's the kicker and million dollar questions:
    How did the "Sharing & Permissions" settings get changed on my Hard Drive without me doing it?
    Why did my iPhone sync fine yesterday and suddenly today the Hard Drive is doing this?
    I have to set all priveleges to all drives to "Read & Write" and that just doesn't seem very secure to me.

    Launch iTunes on your new computer then from the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
    Try syncing.

    If you still want to sync your photos try this instead:
    1. Go to the Pictures folder in the Finder window (Pictures usually appears under Favorites in the sidebar of the Finder window)
    2. **Locate the iPhoto Library file and Right click on the file and select Show Package Contents.
    3. Locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and delete it.
    4. Try the sync process again, it should work.
    ** Sometimes the iPod Photo Cache folder is simply in the Pictures folder and step 2 is not necessary

    Dear Apple -- What is up with that?

    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.

  • Ipod cannot be updated, you do not have enough access privileges

    Hi
    My son just got a new 2nd gen ipod nano 4GB. I have OSX 10.3.9, iTunes 7 and have updated the ipod software. It seems to sync with his playlists but comes up with the above error which seems to go away when I click th OK button, then it continues to update. Trouble is you can't leave it to update because you keep having to click OK to get rid of the message. Each user on the mac has full read and write access to the itunes music folder in the shared users home/itunes music folder.
    Any ideas would be great.
    Thanks
    Ian

    Use the instructions in this article to enable disk use for the iPod. Next, select the iPod's icon on your desktop and choose Get Info from the File menu. Under Ownership & Permissions, check the box to ignore ownership on this volume, and try syncing the iPod again. This box will not appear if you are using a PC formatted iPod, as the FAT32 format used by these does not support permissions.

  • HT1238 ipor shuffle will not reset. error message: do not have enough access for this operation. Tried ipod shuffle reset utility, error message: intended for 32 bit windows version. This 4th gen ipod shuffle is junk.

    why cant this reset?

    That old "Reset Utility" is ONLY for the 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle, which had some issues that prevented using the standard Restore in iTunes, so Apple release that utility.  It was released when Windows XP was the latest version of Window; it does not work with Windows 7.   But it would not help you if your shuffle is 4th gen.
    When you say "reset," are you trying to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes, from the shuffle's Summary tab?  When does that error message appear, exactly?

  • You do not have enough privileges for this operation

    This is what I tunes says when i open it.
    Then it works most of the time.  sometimes freezes...
    Also can't find lots of songs...

    I should have explored other threads before writing this, as I found the answer elsewhere. Turns out, the folder I was saving the podcasts to had been changed to 'read only'. Changed to 'read and write' and podcasts download successfully now. I'm not sure how that changed during the upgrade, but no matter, I'm back at it now.
