itunes crash after SSD migration

[Dr Delphi]

Ok, so recently I have added an optibay and a 80GB SSD to my mac, migrating all my applications and software over. Everything works swimmingly, however when I open itunes it crashes. I have done the whole permissions check, and all my music is still linked to the itunes library as I can see it all before it crashes.

The dialogue message is:

"You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

Has anyone come across this problem before?

Just in case anyone else comes across this problem I'll post the solution here (which I finally found after many, many reinstalls of itunes). It turns out that when I migrated all my data to the SSD and left the /Users/ directory on the HDD I didn't recreate the /Users/Shared/ folder which is needed for itunes authentication.

In order to recreate this folder you need to use Terminal with the following commands:

sudo mkdir -p /Users/Shared

enter your administrator password

sudo chmod 1777 /Users/Shared

Then everything should work again.
