iPod cannot be synced. I do not have enough access privileges for this op.

Hello FentoCy,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!

It sounds like a permissions problem is occuring somewhere.

Navigate to your iTunes Music folder that will probably reside in your "My Music" folder of *My Documents*, right->click on the folder and choose "Properties. From there, you should see a separate window pop up. Make sure the folder is set to both Read and Write and then tick the box that will apply it to all subfolders as well. Also, head to the Security tab and make sure that your user account is allowed access. See if that helps.

Hope this helps.

I'm having the exact same problem. I also have Pointsec on my Latitude E6400. I cannot figure out how to get around this problem. I'm anxious to hear any suggestions.

I fixed this problem by deleting all the temp files in my iTunes folder, hope this helps.

that worked for me. thanks.

I am not sure what "temporary files in my I-tunes folder" means. I do not see any temp files in my I-Tunes folder in "My music" I-Tunes folder or the Program Files I-Tunes folder.

I also have the Protec software on my computer and have tried multiple suggestions but nothing seems to work. Any new suggestions?

This did not work for me. Any other suggestions?

I have the same problem! And it ***** because my warranty has only just run out yet this is a major hardware problem and they don't want to help. This has really put me off Apple products but I still love my iPod 😉. I really need a solution to this problem. I've bought 2 new usb cords - hard reset my ipod (4th gen 16gb nano) - restored it - but nothing works.

I'm going to be really sad until I find a solution 😟

I have a similar problem. I just got an Ipod a few days ago and I at first was able to sync songs into my Ipod. The first thing I did was install Intunes and then download songs into Itunes library and then I could sync the songs that were on the Intunes library. Once Itunes was installed, all I had to do was click on the Itunes icon that was at the bottom of my screen and I tunes would open up and all the songs I had downloaded would be there. But this last time I clicked on Itunes, Itunes started to install all over again. I had already installed it. After the installation, Itunes opened up, only this time with none of the songs I had already downloaded. Then when I tried to redownload some of the songs I had before, the songs downloaded to the Itunes library, but I was not able to sync it into my Ipod. Every time I hit the sync button, I would get a message that says **The Ipod"my name" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.** There message had a red X with a circle around the it. I don't know what to do. Can someone help me???

I can provide the Ipod serial number and model, but I don't know my computer model. All I know is that I use Microsoft XP.

Can someone help me.

I finally got past that annoying message and got the iPod to sync. Here are the steps:

Close iTunes.
Right-click the shortcut for iTunes.exe.
Click the Compatibility tab.
Check the box beside "Run this program as an adminitrator"
Click Apply and/or OK.
Launch iTunes and sync
