I just installed a SSD. The HDD went into the Superdrive holder using an Obtibay. The SSD went in the original HDD spot. All runs well after cloning the system with carbon copy cloner except iTunes. When i start iTunes i get an error: ' You do not have enough access privilieges for this operation'. This shows up a few seconds, then iTunes closes and asks me if i want to report, ignore or reopen. I already repaired disc permissions and set the itunes folder in my home folder to read and write for all users. Does any of you guys know what's the problem here? Try holding the option key as you click on iTunes in the Dock. Dec 07, 2018 When downloading itunes songs I recieve error: You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. I have changed permissions and ownership but it. ![]() ![]() When it opens, tell it to create a new library. It will be empty, but you can get an idea of whether iTunes works at all, or if your library is to blame. If it works when you create a new library, the easiest option is to simply drag all the music from your Music folder (you can even drag the whole music folder) onto the running iTunes window. This will re-import all your music as if you had never heard it before. If you don't make playlists, this won't be a problem. Otherwise, you can try to pinpoint which file(s) within the iTunes folder has incorrect permissions. It can also be hard to tell, because if the permission were incorrect from moving it the way you did, the Owner would still be you. It often has the username shown like Username(Me). If it doesn't show that(Me), it is likely still owned by the old you. You can check and change ownership and permissions in the Get Info window, -I, or Command-I for the newer Macs, or just File>Get Info. If you tell it to do this for enclosed items, and your iTunes media folder is included, it might take a while, and is not really necessary. It would be one of the files in the iTunes folder, most likely the iTunes Library itself. Permissions on my iTunes Library file look like this. The first option is really the last one as i have about 50 playlists in my itunes library and i don't wanna lose them I changed permissions of my hdd/users/name/music/iTunes folder to read&write for every of the 3 lines and it DOES say username(me). I also did apply this to all enclosed items of this folder. Are there any other folders iTunes accesses? Another strange thing is that when i open iTunes this error displays and if i click OK fast enough i can play any song for about 4 seconds before iTunes quits. It does quit though in any case and always after the same amount of time. Any other suggestions? I really miss my music already.

Click to expand.Your suggestion with the read/write permissions sounds like the fix, but it seems not to be working in this case. Repairing permissions doesn't touch any of the files you have installed, only parts of the OS. Downloading and installing iTunes again should replace any files that permissions repair would fix. I would reinstall iTunes, if you haven't already, before I ran permissions repair to fix this. It's mostly the specific file called 'iTunes Library' with no file extension that I think would be to blame for this. Make sure that one file has the correct permissions, including who the owner is, not just who has access to it. If you don't see the(me) on that particular file, you can use a Terminal command to fix it. If your permissions look the way they do on the screenshot I included above, I'm not sure what is keeping iTunes from opening. Download mozilla firefox for mac. You can always Archive and Install whatever OS you are currently running. If you do this, please back up first. If you go through all this, and you still can't open iTunes, starting over without playlists may be your only option left. Ok guys, so i did what msriotdoll said. I set SSD users and HDD users to read&write for everyone + for all enclosed items. The first line in both of these folders is system and not name(me). But it didn't fix the problem and caused another three: 'The folder 'iTunes' is on a locked drive or you do not have write permissions for this folder.' And 'A copy of Firefox is already open.
