Windows 8 issue - Attempting to copy to disk "X" Failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation
Let me give you a quick rundown of my setup
I have a fresh copy of windows 8 64bit with a slave drive installed to handle alll my media.
Im logged in as admin and salve drive has all permissions marked as "allowed"
The error messege that occures when i go to add a new song to the itunes library (which also makes a copy in the music folder on the slave)
The Error reads as follows "Attempting to copy to disk "X" Failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
I have tried a uninstall followed by reboot and a fresh install but that made no difference...... Please help me.

You are showing problems with permissions on the drive. You need to either run iTunes as an administrator, or check to make sure that you are logged in with administrative priviledges on the computer. Despite having done it before, something has changed your permissions on the computer, has nothing to do with the phone.

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,
Cheers

Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts. Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Doesn't happen every time. Using Windows 7. What can I do? The files seem to be there but I don't know if they are being backed up to cloud.
Hi, DickmoAZ.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

"the attempt to burn a disc failed. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
I just changed my password for my apple i.d. so I could purchase a new album. I then bought the album, put it into a playlist to burn it to a cd-rw. And when i click ok to start the copy i keep getting this message "The attempt to burn a disc failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" I have no idea what to do as to there is nothing on google except for write access. Which i don't need. Any suggestions?
Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

How do I solve the issue of this message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" on my iTunes? I already went to the folder of iTunes inside the Finder and change all permissions to allow read and write... no improvement at all. Any help? thanks!
Hi! I just realized I have two folders called library, one is inside HD alongside with System and users, then I have also "library" inside users, some of the folders are apparently repeated, some are missing. And all the music is inside a folder called iTunes Music, inside Music, inside users. Now that I relaized some folders are repeated I applied to all related to iTumes r/w permission. But the annoying message keeps coming on.
And yes, I am using Leopard, 10.5.8.
Any ideas? -
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.

Can anyone help me with this problem. ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC. I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC. I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem. I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account. Can anyone help?
A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them! -

When trying to install a digital copy, everything works including the downloading, until it is processing to iTunes then I receive "You do not have enough access privilages for this operation. Check the disk to make sure it is clean and retry." error.
Tryed several times, Same Results. Tryied rebooting, logging out & into iTunes, Same Result. Seems to do this error with every digital copy, but works eventually. But now will not post digital copy to my iTunes at all. Just same error over and over.

How do I fix the following problem when I try to sync my iPhone music to my iMac? "Attempting to copy to disk Macintosh HD failed. You don't have enough access privleges for this operation."
Hey veo1,
I found the following information about that error message:
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.
Look here for help in correcting the permissions on folders:

A window keeps appearing stating " The iTunes Library cannot be saved. You do not have enough privilages for this operation". New purchases and CD down loads are able to be saved to my iPod but not to my PC?
