"The iTunes folder is located on a locked disk or you don't have permission to write to this folder.

original title: permissions problems

I try to install 3rd party software (iTunes). When I run it says "the iTunes folder is located on a locked disk or you don't have permission to write to this folder. I use Vista and we have 4 accounts of user of the device. I think part of the problem might be that we have recently changed the administrator. I lived like most of iTunes and modified permissions files, but do not know if I get all the. Anyone have advice on how to completely reset the default administrator rights?
Thank you!

Open your itunes folder usually in C:\user\[your username] \music\itunes, select all the items and select share with the Group residential read/write you must do for all files in the folder iTunes and the folder iTunes itself

  • Try to restore the data file, get error 'you don't have permission to save in this location"in Vista

    I am new to Windows Vista, but relatively competent in older versions. I installed the software on my new desktop computer. I am the only user on this computer and I have administrative rights. I installed the software in the Program Files directory. In the software, there is a folder for the working data file. I now try to 'restore' my data on this new computer file so that I can start working. I get an error message that says "you don't have permission to save in this location. Contact an administrator. "I have considered similar questions on this site and followed the advice to take possession of the file without success. I also created a new folder on the D drive, thinking maybe Vista I just wanted to keep C clean, but it gives me the same message. I can't save to the folder I created. Any advice?

    Program Files is a protected directory. If possible you create the working folder for the data in your user account instead. Is it possible in the options of the program the program in a directory of your user account? Or, if you think that any other user you may need to use this program, you could create the directory Public. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate and I'm trying to back up the database of Northland under the C:\Program Files directory and I get an error message indicating "you don't have permission to save in this location.  Contact the administrator for approval. "I can't even save a text file to this place, so it has nothing to do with Windows Explorer. When I click the Windows Orb, it shows that I am logged on as administrator.

    I haven't used Windows 7 much since installation and don't know if I would have been able to save in this location in the past, but I recently created a working group with my laptop (a little background information).

    I searched through other posts for hours and nothing has worked for me.

    It makes no sense at all.  Any help would be appreciated,

    It is well known problem UAC (User Account Control) in Windows 7 that prevents you from storing data in system folders. You have these options:

    • Change the database so that it stores its files in a different folder.
    • Get a 7-compatible Windows version of the program.
    • Turn off UAC (not recommended)

  • Error: "you don't have permission to access this folder. ' Click on continue having access to this folder continuously ".

    Original title: cannot access files on a folder on the drive hard usb after you have turned off sharing on a network.

    About a week and a half, I have set up my external hard drive usb to share on my network domestic as well as my brother could access some files on his laptop computer.  I've been playing with the security of some of the files on the hard drive and made sure that he could not access some of them.  I don't remember exactly what I did unfortunately.  After I had changed the security access, I was still able to access all files and my brother could not access it.  He got the files on the hard drive and I turned off my computer.  A few days later, I tried to access the files that I had limited and I was stuck.  When I went back in the drive to recover some files, I received an error "you don't have permission to access this folder.  Click on continue to have access to this folder permanently. "When I click on continue that another dialogue box comes up saying"you refused permission to access this folder.  To access this file you will need to use the Security tab. "I click on the link to Security tab and another dialog box appears asking"to continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.  Do you want to continue? "I'm obviously the administrator because I have this computer and I'm the only account on it.  From this point, I don't know what I do or what I'm supposed to do to recover my files.  I played a bit with a couple of things and I was able to get into certain folders, but its an extremely long process that I don't have the time for.  A side effect of which in fact so I can see the files, is that for any movie file, I try to access it, I get an error.  When I try to open it with Windows Media Player, I get the error "Windows Media Player cannot access the file.  The file may be in use (which is not the case), you won't have access to the computer where the file is stored (which is not supposed to because the computer on which it is stored my personal computer), or your proxy settings are may not be not correct (what?). "If I try to use another program like VLC media player, I get a similar problem where an error comes up saying that it was impossible to access the file.  I can see the file and see the properties but I am unable to actually see the film.  I can't move the file anywhere because I don't have administrative rights.  I'm under Windows 7 Ultimate, and if someone could help me please, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Ridley,

    I see that this problem is old enough but you (or others) may have problems with it. Here's what I did:
    -Got to your hard drive and right click on the folder that is causing all the trouble.
    -Click on properties.
    -Click on the Security tab
    -Then click on advanced
    -You will see a window with a few user names. Now click on owner in the tabs above.
    -Click on edit, then select the user name you want to open the folder and don't forget to tick the box that says "Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects", then click on apply.
    A pop will come which says something like "You have replaced the property for the selected records" or something in this way. It worked for me and I hope this post is helpful for some people.
