The Itunes libary cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privleges for this operation.

Running 10.6.1.7 itunes. I updated my Ipad 2 to 5.1.1 and tried to sync and  received this message. I had programs that needed updating and hit the update all (6 of them) and they would not update. I deleted them and went to itunes to see if that was my problem and then received the message in the title. I running win XP.  IS THIS A UPDATE SOFTWARE PROBLEM ON APPLES SIDE? Will i have to delete all my programs on the Ipad and delete itunes and start over?

Fixed problem. Uninstalled Itunes and downloaded a fresh copy of itunes and reinstalled.

    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.

  • Itunes library cannot be saved. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation - error message

    I keep getting this message.  It just suddenly started happening!

    Actually, yes I used to have MS Antispyware installed, but now I have uninstalled it and upgraded to the Windows Defender program, which was supposed to be a replacement.
    good lord.
    okay, we would get some reports of people getting an "you don't have enough access privileges" message with regard to setting itunes as the default music player if they had MS Antispyware beta running during an itunes install.
    let's try an experiment. try switching Windows Defender off prior to opening itunes.
    do you still get the access privileges error message?

  • "The iTunes library file cannot be saved.You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."

    keep getting       '' the itunes library file cannot be saved. you do not have enough access privledges''  when ever i try to add or change my library, why? have tried  several suggestions on the internet to stop this from happening but with no success. i am running windows 7. has started happening since installing new security software. would this have anything to do with this problem? any suggestions

    The location of the iTunes Library file may be read-only or owned by a different user.
    Default locations:
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<login>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Vista: C:\Users\<login>\Music\iTunes
    Windows 7: C:\Users\My Music\itunes
    Right click the iTunes folder and choose Properties
    Look at the Attributes and see if Read-Only is checked.
    Uncheck it and click OK, at the apply to all subfolders and files prompt, make sure all subfolders and files is selected and click OK.
    If your iTunes library saves now you are done.
    If it does not you will need to try on each directory above the iTunes directory.
    Of course if you are not using the default locations you'll have to alter the path to the one you find in iTunes Edit->Preferences, Advanced tab.

    After up dating to iTunes 7.4.1.2, I get the following error message when syncing my iPhone;

    I tried re-authorizing the computer as other users suggested but the error message persists. Restarting, rebooting have not helped.
    Any ideas?

  • 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"

    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.

    You probably didn't install iTunes from a user account with Administrator privileges.

  • 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.

  • TS4062 This iPhone cannot be synched.You do not have enough access privledges for this operation.

    I have installed the latest version of iTunes on a new computer and want to sync my phone on it. I receive this message when trying to sync. I have tried unchecking sync photos but still no luck. Thanks

    Try creating a folder in a different location (outside of the Pictures library such as on your desktop), copying the pictures you want to sync to this folder, then syncing this folder to your phone by selecting to do so on the Photos tab of your iTune sync settings.  If you still get this error try disabling your anti-virus software and syncing. If still having problems try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder, usually located in your Pictures library.

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

    I am using Windows Vista, and current IPOD and ITUNES versions. I still get this message when trying to sync IPOD. Help please.

    So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
    In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to.

    Hi.  I moved my iTunes library into a shared folder so both my wife and I can have separate iTunes libraries using the same music files.  Everything has been fine until tonight when she received the above referenced error when trying to sync after downloading the newest iPhone update. 
    We're running OS X Lion.  My phone works perfectly but hers is not.  I've tried the few fixes I could find.  Ran disk utility and repaired permissions after making sure that the music folder (and enclosed folders) were granted to her and me.
    Any suggestions?  I've been trying everything I could find online to no avail.

    try the steps in this support article.
