Write Access to Download Videos

I was trying to download a video from iTunes. I got this error message and the video did not download:
"iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your Music Folder and folders in your Music Folder, then use the Check for Purchased Music command in the Advanced Menu to try again."
Does anyone know how to change the settings for write access? Thanks in advance!

This is a Home Computer. I tried following the instructions on the Microsoft Support Web site at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308418/en-us
When I found the parent folder for the Music folder, all the "Allow" boxes are already checked. I even tried unchecking them, rebooting, then resetting them, all to no avail. Very frustrating.

Apparently cookies was turned off in Safari. I rarely use it so I have no idea how that happened. Anyway, turning them on seems to have cured the problem.

I have a similar problem with ITunesU, I used to be able to access them from my car dock, but now they dont appear and the fwd/back buttons on the steering wheel wont affect them.
It seems taking them from ITunes into their own app has confused many other applications or dock connectors. Im going to try and remove the ITunesU app as I dont want to have lost the extra functionality

Can't download from the app store- no "write" access

Apparently I do not have "write" access on a folder in my itunes media file. I went to the folders and checked it was all read+write, then looked it up online. I repaired all my permissions. It still gives me the problem. What gives? Please help.

I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.

Restopre from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also,
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

Hi! With version 36 I can no longer download videos; I can watch them, but download does not work. I use Win 8.1 and download helper. I returned to 35.1

Hello Community of Users
I actually want help from the experts; and with my question everything is said. As I wrote: I returned to version 35.01 (US - before I had a German version - both worked or work) for the time being; with 36.0 almost everything is fine except that I cannot download videos any more.
The " educated guesses" seem to be correct except for the Shockwave; at least I couldn´t find it in the list.
Oh, I forgot: I got a message from my firewall when I had downloaded version 36, stating that it had blocked some features of this app, then listing those features, but giving the possibility to grant access to them ("Zugriff zulassen") on which I clicked. - See uploaded screenshot.
Any idea where the problem could be?

Hi edmeister
thanks for dealing with my Problem. I´m using the latest Version of downloadhelper; I mentioned that I downloaded the US-Version of 35.01, but the screenshot came from my German Windows 8.1.
I just downloaded 36 again & separately, got the same warning from Windows, clicked again on "grant Access" (Zugriff zulassen), tried out parallel 35.01 - Video download o.k. and 36 - Video download did not function. So I did not get further. The Firewall lets me - so it seems - download with one Version of Firefox and without any changes executed does not let me download with the new one.

Unable to sync music (write access)

I recently had my computer rebuilt and have been having problems with iTunes. It seems I do not have *write access* to any of my music files except for those I have purchased from iTunes. I have searched through guides and things but have still not had any such luck on fixing the problem.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried to sync again considering your suggestions.
1. Regarding photos, I just wanted to stressed that I could sync photos, so some of sync function is OK.
2. I have checked all the boxed available, I could not find anything that is wrongly checked both in itunes and ipod. Furthermore, the sync process works well with my other iphone and ipad which might indicate that itunes is working well.
3. Since the music and video files are playable in itunes, iphone and ipad, I consider that the files should compatible to ipod too. The files are mp3 and mov files, which should be compatible in ipod.
4. I checked settings> General>Restrictions too. Could not find anything wrongly checked.
5. After I clicked sync, I could see grayed music and video names that is contained in on the ipod, as depicted below. These files could not be played and not present in ipod.
I am considering this as a software problem than hardware problem as other apps are running quite well.
I would highly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanking you.

I am denied permission to download videos

I'm having difficulty downloading videos from 1 website . When I attempt to save the video I get a message "you do not have permission to access the requested resource". I have used the proper password for the website and am able to watch the video online. I can easily download videos from other websites. I have not changed any settings on my iMac. I tried repairing permissions with disk utility but that did not help.

You need to contact the website owner.

Why do we need write access to Java installation Directory

We are Upgrading from Siebel Analytics 7.8 to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
As OBIEE needs Java 1.5 or higher as a pre-requisite we are planning to uninstall Java 1.4 and install latest version of Java 1.5.
According to OBI Installation and Configuration Guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf -> Page 39 "If you are installing using the Basic installation type, make the user or user group permissions
writable for the user installing Oracle Business Intelligence, for all JDK 1.5.0 installation directories,
subdirectories, and files". Can anybody let me know why we need write access to Java Installation Directory??
Thanks,
Chandra

I had this same question and asked Oracle. Here's what I was told:
Per Dev:
"For OBI Presentation Services and OBI Publisher, jdk fonts files are copied into the JDK location because we do not bundle our own JDK. To ensure the install can do this you need to ensure that the Oracle BI installer has permissions to copy files to the specified JDK location.
This means that if the same user who installer/untarred JDK is also installing Oracle BI, the install should work. In this case the the permissions of the JDK is probably 755.
It will not work if a root user installs JDK and a normal user installs Oracle BI because the normal user does not have access to write to the JDK location or will not work if the JDK location is read-only, i.e. 444. In this case running chmod -R 777 will work."

How to Load Progressive-Download Video just when I press Play?

I have set the Progressive-Download video instead of Streaming-Video (because my webserver provider "aruba.it" doesn't offer
streaming videos), in Flash CS4 Professional, and exported to Dreamweaver CS4.
I have also inserted the HTML code in Dreamweaver CS4 to enable FullScreen Playback of Flash .flv Videos.
Now I have a problem:
- When the webpage loads into Internet Explorer 7, it take much time to load all the videos at same time!
Thus I want this:
- I want that the videos start to load just when I press the Play button, individually, not at same time.
- I don't not want that start the load immediately when the webpage opens in IE7.
- I want that the videos start to load content in the same manner of YouTube videos, just when I press play.
How can I do?
What is the HTML code that I should insert into DreamweaverCS4?
I have seen this help page:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/video/FLVPlayback.html#lo ad()
At Chapter "Public Methods" I have seen this "load" function:
"Begins loading the FLV file and provides a shortcut for setting the autoPlay property to false and setting the source, totalTime, and isLive properties, if given..."
Can be useful this function?
Horsepower0171.

Excuse me, I am a beginner user of FlashCS4.
OK!
StepByStep:
My site is http://www.cavallodario.it. Please see the third top section called "Sezione 3D">Maya>the last bottom video on the page is published as Streming video (I think)...
There, are all the videos.
I have understood that YouTube video is http streaming.
Instead, in FlashProCS4, I have seen a second Option after ImportVideo Menu (is Flash Media Server streaming?):
1) "Sul Computer" (on the Desktop, local); NOT CHECKED
2) "Già distribuito su un server Web, Flash Video Streaming Service o Flash Media Server"; CHECKED and selected the URL: http://www.cavallodario.it/filmati_Maya/flv/Wagon_01_PAL_Letterbox.flv
> Next > SkinBar with Fullscreen Button (called "SkinUnderPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf") > Next > End.
But I have a doubt if this is a streaming function:
-After published the webpage via FTP with Dreamweaver, in IE7 browser the loading progress bar appears immediately, and loads the video when the webpage appears, not when I press Play Button!
Why this?
How I can do to load the video just when I press the Play button?
- I have seen the "NetConnection / NetStream" classes in the FlashCS4 Help, but I am a confused beginner user and I don't want write an ActionScript code to build a custom navigation bar.
Please response me!
Thanks!

No write access for iTunes media folder

Every time I try to download updates to iPod Touch applications or purchase music, I get the message "iTunes couldn't download your purchase. You don't have write access for your iTunes media folder or a folder within it." This was working prior to approximately December 20, 2010. I have searched for answers and every single thing I've tried has failed.
I have made sure that my user owns all the files in the iTunes media folder and has write permissions. In fact, I have ensured the user has write permissions for all directories both above and below this directory.
I have removed C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277 .
I have moved my iTunes folder to a new one (off the root directory, e.g. C:\foo) as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 .
I have even created a new user account, which also has the issue.
I am running iTunes 10.1.1 on Windows 7 on a 64-bit AMD Sempron laptop. I have made no significant software changes prior to this problem appearing, though regular Windows and iTunes updates are routinely applied. The device I'm attempting to use is a second generation iPod Touch, but that doesn't really matter - it doesn't need to be connected for the issue to occur.
I apologize for being quite the Windows luser. This is my partner's computer - I'm a Unix and Mac guy.
Thanks in advance!

TS1368 do not have write access to itunes folder

When trying to buy a song from the itunes store, I receive the message "You don't have write access to your itunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in Explorer) and then choose Store > check for aviaiable downloads. I have purchased songs in the past and I cannot play them in my library now either. Something has changed to cause this to start happening but I don't know what.

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

" write access for your iTunes Media folder"

Hello,
My iTunes all of a sudden started to gave me this error when I tried to update my iPhone Apps:
*iTunes couldn't download your purchase*
*You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store > Check Available Downloads.*
This is most weird since I haven't done anything to the system nor the iPhone.
I tried to repair permissions, tried CHMOD and then booting from the installation disk and reset password, thrash preferences and the message is always there. Even weirder is the fact that when I connect my iPhone, iTunes ask me about "authorization", if I say AUTHORIZE, it gives me another error saying that it cannot be authorize because of an error, but it does not say what error!
If I deauthorize, I'll loose more than 200 Apps, but if I authorize, even with the correct password, it simply gives me that bloody error.
I do not know what else to do, any ideas?
And yeah... I tried going to the iTunes list, get info and authorize myself, despite being already authorized... by the way I do not have the "apply to the contents within...or something like that, you know what I'm talking about option". My system is 10.5.8. PPC, and I do not see the relevance but the iTunes list is hosted in an external HD.
I'll be more than thankful for any help.

if above don't work, try the same procedure on the folder on the external containing your media files.
