HP computer/Ipod problems.
Soo......My parents bought me a new HP slimline computer around the beginning of January and for a while it was running okay until it started shutting off on me. We called the company and was able to have it fixed for a few days. Now.....the problem is that when I try to delete any documents, pictures,or favorites I keep getting this error message that says "C:\ is not accessible, Access denied". I don't know what to do! My computer is running just fine, but I would like to save something knowing that I can delete it in the future.
Another problem that I'm having is about my ipod touch. My parents bought me this as a christmas present along with the Itunes giftcard. I was able to purchase all of the songs I wanted with no problems. Now, a couple of months later....I bought more music from a really cool soundtrack using my own credit card and even though its in my itunes library, it won't transfer into my ipod. I keep getting this message: "Attempting to copy to the disk "Jennifer's ipod" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"....WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? :'( Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't know what to do with any of this.

This (more than likely) comes down to admin rights on your system.
Do you know if you are using the administrative account? If not, have you given yourself (ie your ID ) access to the drives in question? If I just confused you, let me know.

Start-> Control Panel-> User Accounts
Underneath your user name, what does it say? EDIT: I forgot that the control panel defaults to categorical view. If you can't find "User Accounts" go to: Control Panel-> User Accounts and Family Safety-> User Accounts Last edited by Shyn; 05-02-2010 at 07:16 PM.

I'd guess, then, that the people who 'fixed' your computer fiddled with either the UAC settings or permissions. Permissions seems less likely, and is also a lot more complicated to try to explain, so I'll try UAC.
In that same user accounts screen, what does it say when you click "Change User Account Control Settings" ?

EDIT: I'm afraid of clicking on it because I don't want my computer to mess up again. When HP called my father earlier; they said that they had to replace my memory. They might have said something else to him, but that's all he told me after they contacted him. Last edited by Yuuki Kuran; 05-02-2010 at 08:35 PM.

That must mean it's set to 'always notify' But the publisher should say Microsoft, not unknown. Strange... In any case, it's not default, so someone changed it... (You should be able to do the things you can't no matter what it's set to, but I remember reading about some people having issues when they turned UAC off w/ Vista. I'm not even sure if the problem still exists.)
Haha, I should have stopped at "here's how to see if you're an administrator," and left it to kallistra or someone else. It's pretty difficult to help w/ computer problems by proxy like this, and I usually avoid it, heh... tbh, I'd recommend finding someone to help you that can actually sit down in front of your computer. Sorry I wasn't more help, and GL! ^^
