When trying to download or sync podcasts, I get an error code "you do not have the privilege to make changes". Please help!

When trying to download or sync podcasts, I get an error code "you do not have the privilege to make changes". Please help! I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, but that did not work. Also, I rebooted and that didn't work, either.

I tried to use an external hard drive from my windows computer that was formatted in NTFS Windows format. Mac Pro sees that hard drive as "read only". Itunes works on existing media on the hard drive to play music or movies, but when you try to purchase from itunes store and download you get the above message. You need to move your library to a library that is formatted in exFAT format (which can be used both by "windows" and mac computers.

In 10.7.3 I get a message: error occurred while converting file. You do not have the privilege to make changes.

in Itunes 10.7.3 I get a message: error occurred while converting file. You do not have the privilege to make changes. This just started and I can not import my cds. Any thoughts?

Do you have read& write permissions to your iTunes library?

Solution:
Open Disk Utility.
Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

Hello aprilpierce,
I'd recommend taking a look at the following article in order to get iTunes working correctly.
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
Symptoms
With Mac OS X, the Shared folder is required to authorize your iTunes Store purchases. With Windows the iTunes folder is also required. If either of these folders are missing or have incorrect folder permissions, you may notice one of the following symptoms:
You are unable to complete a purchase from the iTunes Store.
You are told that you do not have permission to modify your iTunes Media folder when downloading from the iTunes Store.
You cannot play content you purchased from the iTunes Store.
An alert appears with the following text:"There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required directory was not found or has a permission error."
Cheers,
Allen

Why does an error message say, you do not have the privilege to maje changes?

I tried to add a movie ti iTunes and a message came up saying I do not have the privilege to make changes. How do I get the privilege to make changes?

I firewired I-tunes music from crashed I-mac to a new I-mac. Then tried to sync my I-pod w/ the new computer and got messages "I-pod cannot be synced". Also, "the disc could not be read from or written to- you don't have the privilege to make changes"

I firewired my i-tunes library from my old computer to a used I-mac which I bought. All purchased songs & playlists
were succesfully transferred. When I tried to sync my empty I-pod to the used I-mac I received these messages.
          - I-pod cannot be synced
          - The disc could not be read from or written to
          - You dont have the priveledge to make changes.
This is all my music legally downloaded and purchased from I-tunes. How to I circumvent this barrier?
                     Thanks, jaime
