Unable to import CDs on my iMac iTunes 12.6.

Error message "...you do not have privileges to make changes".
2009 iMac running Yosemite 10.10.5, iTunes 12.6.2.20.

Inserting CD has always enabled importing CD tracks previously.
I have gone to my iTunes permissions folders and enabled Read/Write for enclosed files.
Need some suggestions on why I can't get my new Doobie Brothers CD imported to my iMac.

Is your media folder in a different location from your iTunes library folder? If so you would need to take the following steps for the media folder too. I know you say you've already done this for the iTunes folder, but perhaps you should try it again.


Use Get Info on the iTunes folder in Finder. Click the lock at the bottom right to make changes. Make sure that locked isn't ticked and that your own account has read & write access, then use the gear icon to apply the permissions to enclosed items and confirm.
