Whenever I connect my iPod its coming up saying you do not have enough access privileges to sync your iPod.

I did a search and people seemed to only suggest reinstalling iTunes, making sure you have an admin account, and restoring the iPod.

Ive tried all of that (by default I have always had an admin account anyway).

Im trying to sync with my MacBook Pro and before several hours ago I had been having absolutely no problems with it before.

I would suggest doing a permissions repair and see if that helps.

Now, click the little gear next to the - boxes, and choose Apply to Enclosed Items.

Then try to sync again in iTunes.

I was moving my data between my iMac and my new MacBook Pro, and for some reason the permissions on some image folders were changed.

This included my iPod folder that I store all the photos that I sync the device so, of course, my iPod didnt have permission to sync said photos, thus canceling the sync.

I stupidly started another restore, so Im just waiting for that to finish to see if disabling the photos will work.
