What does this mean? iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons"

Can anyone help me please? My iphone originally was linked to my PC. I downloaded over 3,000 pictures from my PC to my iphone. Since then my PC broke and now I have a macbook pro and the macbook doesn't recognize all the pictures from my pc. I get the following message.
-iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "Daniel's iPhone" because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons".

Hi,
I picked up on this Post as I was searching for "iChat" in non iChat places.
A Mac will contain a Folder for "iChat Icons"
It is kept in Hard Drive/System/Library/Application Support/iChat icons
There are about 9 sub folders here including Planets, Guitars, Feng Shui and so on.
They are normally accessed in iChat to be your Own Buddy pic.
They way you have phrased your posts suggests you have a folder on your phone called "iChat icons" which may have been created by the PC.
For people who know more about iTunes than I do to help will need to know where this Folder is exactly.

ITunes cannot sync photos because you do not have write access to the folder Elements 13 Organiser

Does anyone have the answer

Are you using a Mac or a PC ?
Is 'Pictures' the directory that you've chosen to sync photos (on the Photos tab) from on your computer ? When you sync photos iTunes creates an 'iPod Photo Cache' foldr under the folder that you've selected to sync photos from - it's possible that the Pictures directory doesn't currently have write access on it, so iTunes can't create that directory.
On a Mac you can go into Finder, select/highlight the Pictures folder and do 'get-info' (command-I) and change its sharing and permissions. If using a PC then you should be able to do similar via windows explorer

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing.

Iphone Sync Error. attempting to copy to the disc c:\ you do not have enough access privileges for this operation sync

Nothing has changed, all i am trying to do is sync my iPhone 3GS to my iTunes (Latest Update).
After clicking sync it attempts to do so, it gets to the backing up stage, then soon as this completes i get the following 2 errors right after eachother.
the iphone "name" cannot be synced, you do not have enough access privledges for this operation
(Click OK)
Attempting to copy to the disc c:\ you do not have enough access privileges for this operation sync
Then Sync cancels and nothing is done,

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...

I have installed ACDSee Pro3 and have problem to transfer photofiles from device: I got the message; The item could not be edited because you do not have sufficent access privileges or destination volume is no longer available." What can I do?

Ask the ACDSee Pro support personnel.
With iPhoto that message means the library is a referenced library (photo not copied when imported into iPhoto's structure) and the source file is not where it was when first added to the library. I don't know how ACDSee works. Does it have a referenced mode as opposed to copying photos into its structure?

OPen your Users folder, Highlight the Desktop Folder, do a Get Info or CMD+i on it, see if it's locked or if you have Rights & Privileges at the bottom.

I cannot access iTunes on my desktop. Works fine on my laptop. Message says "The iTunes Library .itl is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission." The disk is not locked.

I cannot access iTunes from my deskyop. Worked great until a couple of days ago, then I now get the message that "The iTunes Library .itl is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." I have not turned on any parental controls on the desktop. I have reloaded iTunes several times. No luck. I've run virus scans several times. No luck. I've restarted & tuned off the computer several times. No luck. I've uninstalled iTunes then reinstalled several times. No luck. Any thoughts?

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!

After implementing iTunes Match I can't make updates or watch my movies bc of error message "you do not have write access".

After purchasing and implementing iTunes match I can't watch a bunch of my movies and I can't update my apps because of an error message stating that I do not have "write access" or another error message stating that I don't have correct permissions. I have checked that I have both read and write permissions on literally every single folder on my computer. I quadruple-checked actually.
From looking through forums it seems a lot of people are having this problem with the only suggestion being to fix permissions. Anyone have any other suggestions? I just want to be able to watch the movies I paid for!!

Could you give us a little more information? Where are your movies stored? On your iMac? How are you trying to watch them, through iTunes? Have you tried to watch them with Match turned off?
Just to be clear, iTunes Match does not accept movies for uploading, only music files. It will give you access to music videos you've purchased through iTunes though.
