You do not have enough privileges - photos on classic

I have encountered this problem with my new ipod 160gb classic.
When i try to sync photos in itunes (from iphoto)onto the ipod the warning message is "you do not have sufficient privileges.."
Can anyone help?

I had the same issue. For me, the problem was that my wife "owned" the folder called iPod Photo Cache in the iPhoto library folder that we share, and that I only had READ permission to it.
The solution was to:
1. Find this folder (/Users/Shared/iPhoto Library/iPod Photo Cache in our case) and open its properties (Get Info).
2. Expand the Ownership & Permission section, unlock the Owner field, and change it to my user name (probably need an admin user name and password to do this).
3. Change the Group Access and Others Access to "Read & Write" (if you want other users to be able to sync photos on other iPods).
4. Click "Apply to enclosed items".
I hope this is helpful. Good luck.

    I didn't know that iTunes had a 64bit download. I have Windows 7 Home Premium with 64bit operation system. I downloaded the iTunes for 64bit and it seems to have corrected the problem. I haven't received the message yet since I did this.

    Hi,
    I've checked your site users and it show each having full administrative permissions. 
    Unfortunately I'm not sure why this error would prompt otherwise.  Please reach our direct chat support to help investigate this further if the error continues. 
    Kind regards,

    To be honest I'd be very tempted to ring Applecare and explain that prior to downloading iOS5 your iPod Touch worked perfectly however since downloading Apple's new iOS5 it's "bricked" therefore can they as a matter of decency try to help put things right warranty situation notwithstanding.  Afterall it does appear to be one of Apple's products that has broken your previously working iPod Touch.

  • You do not have enough privileges for this operiction

    you do not have right privileges for this operiction

    I should have explored other threads before writing this, as I found the answer elsewhere. Turns out, the folder I was saving the podcasts to had been changed to 'read only'. Changed to 'read and write' and podcasts download successfully now. I'm not sure how that changed during the upgrade, but no matter, I'm back at it now.

  • The iPhone cannot be synced. You do not have enough privileges for this operation

    On a Win7 PC and iTunes I'm trying to sync my wife's phone while signed in under our Apple iTunes account. It connects, backs up but then displays the following message:
    The WIndoew accout has full admin privileges and the iTunes account is valid. Ideas?
    Thanks!
    Larry

    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.

  • The error message says, "There was a problem downloading 'X'.  You do not have enough privileges for this application."  Any suggestions?

    I have recently added an iPhone 4s, and cleaned out the hard drive of my eMac to use solely for iTunes, but now it will not let me download iCloud items from iTunes Match.  Do I need to change settings on the iPhone, or did I erase something I shouldn't have from my hard drive?

    I should have explored other threads before writing this, as I found the answer elsewhere. Turns out, the folder I was saving the podcasts to had been changed to 'read only'. Changed to 'read and write' and podcasts download successfully now. I'm not sure how that changed during the upgrade, but no matter, I'm back at it now.

  • ITunes error: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. is preventing my iPhone from syncing. How do I fix it?

    The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. is preventing my iPhone from syncing. How do I fix it? I have changed permissions until blue in the face. What is going on? Why is this so hard? I just want to sync my phone.
    A little background. My iTunes library is in a shared folder. My Aperture library is on a .DMG in the shared folder with "ignore permissions on this volume" checked. I have added myself with read and write privileges to everything that I can find. What gives? Thanks in advance.

    PC, windows7, iphone4, updated iphone (5.0.1) and itunes (10.5.2.11) software. Started getting "iphone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" message.
    Solution I found that worked: Uncheck "Sync photos from Iphone" in Itunes / Devices / Photos tab.

  • 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.

  • "The iPod cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges..."

    Okay, so, as of today, my iPod refuses to sync. I keep getting this error message:
    "The iPod <name> cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
    If I hit 'OK' the sync appears to carry on, but checking my iPod the new song I have (which I got after the first time this happened, so that isn't the cause) isn't on there.
    I have already looked around the forum and seen several similar threads, but I tried deleting my iPod photo cache (which seemed to work for everyone else) and that didn't work.
    I also have my laptop set up to run a virus scan on a device every time it is plugged in and for some reason the scan on my iPod gets stuck at 83% every time.
    Any ideas?
    I don't know a lot about computers, but if there's anything else you need to know I'll tell you if I can.

    Hi
    I had the same error message.  The problem turned out to be related to me syncing pictures.
    When I elected to sync pictures, iTunes presented me with several folders and I chose to sync all of them.  Later I realised that those folders actually belonged to another account on the same PC (an administrator account).  Consequently I did not have access privileges to copy them onto the iPod.
    When I deselected the picture folders that did not belong to my account, the problem went away.

  • IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

    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.

  • HT1386 I get an error message when I try to sync my iPod touch - "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    I recently installed a new hard drive on my PC, downloaded iTunes, updated the software on my iPod touch and now I get this error message when I try to sync:  "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  It never did this before, whether it's the upgrade in software or something in iTunes, but it's very frustrating, since I'd like to add more things to my iPod.
