Lost main hard drive and have almos reinstalled everything back to my Mac..., Im attempting to buy a movie and I get an unkown error 8201, couple of other messages like "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation...", has anyone been facing something like this?
iTunes-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Im having the same issue but now it does not even display a error code and this is recent. please help! I have over 20 items that I purchased that I can not donwload to my library.
...found a message with someone that was experimenting a similar problem, their suggestion was to review access rights to iTunes directory..., I gave the directory read/write access and was then able to download and play the content...
Hopefully this works for you too...
Glad to hear you're back in business!
I had this as well - for me it was a permissions problem on my Downloads directory.
In my case, my wife and I share an iTunes library. One of us purchased something and it set the permissions on the Downloads directory to be accessible only by that person. When the other went to purchase something else while logged in to the Mac under a different account, the download attempt gave the same error you saw (8201). Sharing a library can lead to this, but however the permissions get corrupted or reset those are the two places I've found that matter for downloading iTunes content.
Hope this helps someone!
Thanks Jon, I am also sharing my iTunes media folder with my family..., so I supposed the same thing happened..., changing permissions on the itunes directory fixed my problem...
Thanks for your help!
This helped me too! Thanks🙂
This help me a lot thanks sooooooo much
Permissions did the trick - thanks!
