I keep getting an error message in iTunes when I try and sync my iPhone 5s. Message says "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation?". It is my personal computer and phone.
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2
Hello magestecal,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where you're getting a permissions error when trying to sync your iPhone, I'd like you to please follow the steps in the article below.

Take care,

I have Windows 8 which wasn't listed in the article. I did manage to follow the steps anyway and deleted the suggested folder but am still getting the same error message.
Have you tried starting iTunes in Windows "Administrator" mode ?
How do I do that?
Right click the iTunes execution icon and select "Run as administrator"
I was already in administrator mode so that didn't work either...
