iTunes crashing after a OWC Data Doubler installed

[Polska]

Hey all,

I am desperate for help.

10 days ago I successfully installed the OWC data doubler with a 120gb SSD on my optical driver's bay. I migrate the system and the Applications folder successfully and everything seems to be working fine. Well, ALMOST everything. My iTunes keeps giving the message: "You do not have enough privileges for this operation". I tried it all and still have this problems: Here is the things that I tried:

- I checked all the files/folder permissions from iTunes and iTunes folder and I do have access to them.
- I completely removed iTunes and it's plist files and reinstalled the latest (version 10.2.2 ) and still giving the same message.
- I moved my iTunes library to force iTunes to create a new library.
- I noticed if I boot from my former HDD instead of the SSD, the itunes still works fine so I thought it was a kind of conflict so I removed completely the iTunes from the HDD but the problem persists.

As a title of information, my Users folders is located at the HDD and the system/applications files are on the SSD. I do not have space to move my iTunes library to the SSD, as some suggested.

Please, I am desperate. I need to sync my iPhone/iPad and I am not being able for a while.

Thanks!

i had the same issue with itunes.. how i solved it was go into the SSD and under your users folder do <<command i >>and make sure you have permissions set to read/write.
Do the same for your users folder on your data drive.
I have a users folder on my ssd and data drive.
Run disk utility>repair premissions and see if that works for you.

my issue solved

ok.. i solved my issue. fixing permissions on the users directory wasn't it for me. this is not the same solution that several others have posted on this problem. I had to create a /Users/Shared directory on my SSD and change its permissions to be 1777
in the following article the guy mentions having this problem and how to fix it.

But one of the applications that I particularly wanted to leave on the original drive was iTunes. When I tried to start this, I got a terminal error message which said, ‘You do not have enough access privileges for this operation’. The application would die about 5 seconds later. I spent a lot of time trying to figure this one out, as I’d assumed in the first instance that it was a neighbour of the library problem. I started with a full delete and re-install in the SSD, which didn’t work. I then tried various file permission changes. Again no joy. To cut a long story short, you absolutely have to have a /Users/Shared directory, as explained in this Knowledge Base article. I saw the folder when I was doing the selective copy, figured it was something like a dropbox a la ~/Public, and didn’t bother with it. That’s a couple of hours of my life that I won’t get back .

you might check if your Shared directory is there under your SSD. if not, then do this

oh, one more thing.. the path to the Users directory that needs /Shared is not what the apple article says (if you set up your ssd like I did). it is /Volumes/YourSSDhd/Users/Shared
