Why am I getting a you do not have permission to access " error

You'll need to provide a lot more detail about the issue before anyone can help you.

View them how? On what device, running what operating system, and via what application/method?

Please don't make us have to guess what you mean. Provide full details so we can make an intelligent diagnosis and offer useful suggestions.

Regards.

This is happening to me on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1. Hope this is enough deatail for you

I have the same issue. I am using an ipod touch. I have several movies and TV shows I've purchased through itunes. Most of them I can watch with no problem, some of them are giving me the "you do not have permission to access this resource" message when I try to watch them.

I read a post that said they had likely not completely downloaded, so I tried to download them again. When I go to my purchases and select download for a particular show, it begins to play properly. I tried to delete the show so I could re-download, but when you left-swipe, nothing happens ... I don't get the delete option. I changed my sync options to remove these shows, but they won't remove.

Any suggestion other than the last resort of restoring my ipod back to the original factor settings?

Rhonda, you have a completely different issue than ila2omtgk, who is asking about content on YouTube, so I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue. That will be more polite to ila2omtgk and be more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.

Regards.

You need to provide news is more meticulous points

Happened to me today in YouTube. Kill the app in the background processes and then reload again. Worked for me. Suppose if further issue could also restart phone but restarting app worked for me. Good luck.

That's stupid. We shouldn't need to be computer experts for you to solve a problem with one of your products. Apple is faulty software, always has been, and I say this as an apple fan. Cos now, the same is happening to me.

My computer is an HP Pavillion notebook, I have an IPad 2, and when I try to access my shared library (that is when it works) it is now saying the same error message - and I'm not posting another message - it is the same issue - just because it's on another device, or because we're trying to watch movies instead of you tube videos, desn't mean it's not the same issue. I have a feeling it's either one of two things - a home sharing issue (which I don't understand at all), or it's because I'm using a PC instead of a Mac.

I should also point that I also have an Airport extreme, an Apple Tv, an Ipod Nano, and the only problem I have now, is trying to get my Ipad to recognize that I have permission to play my shared library on my IPad 2. Sorry if I sound bitter, but this is kinda starting to tick me off.

I'm having the same message on my IPad 3. Can see for various discussion on this forum that is a recent and common issue though can't find any response from Apple! Disappointing

Apple does not participate in these forums. As was said in the Terms of Use to which we all agreed, these forums are for user-to-user support. If you want assistance from Apple technicians, you will need to call Apple Support. Otherwise, start your own thread, providing full details about your setup and the exact problem, and someone can perhaps help you sort things out.

Thanks for clarifying. No need for new thread as the problem I have is the same as stated here

I have a bunch of favorite you tube videos I watch. Now when I go click on one it comes up with that error message" you do not have permission to access this resource"

As stated above I'm using a new IPad with the most recent OS. There appear to be variouse threads with this issue related to You Tube and ITunes but little in the way of explanation, ideas or advice. (plenty of comments on forum rules and how to correctly list an issue though)

I have been getting this for a few weeks now. After I click on a YouTube clip, it goes to full screen mode. The progress wheel pops up for a brief second then a dialog pop up and tell me I don't have permission to view this clip. Happens on my iPhone 4s and iPad 1. All running iOS 5.0+.

I'm getting this too. It's the second generation iphone. Ticks me off! I can't get an answer from the Apple people on this either.

I started getting the same error on my AT&T iPhone 4S running on iOS 5.1.1 when trying to view my favorites videos on the youtube app. The fix was to kill the app and the background process by double tapping the home button, pressing and holding the youtube app until you see the red circle minus option, then tap on this option. Then I opened the youtube app again, and I was able to view my fovotires once again, hope this helps.
