"Add Field" in music "Get Info" is gone in latest iTunes version
I use the "Comments" in Get Info in iTunes to capture a lot of information on the artist, music, etc. In earlier versions of iTunes 12, I could click "Add Field" when the comments field was not showing. But "Add Field" is missing from the music "Get Info" screens in iTunes 12.1.2. How do I get it back?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6812905 - Q: "In iTunes 12.1.0.50 there is no field for track number in the song info pane, is it possible to add this?" A: "It's there... Either scroll down inside the window or enlarge the window so you don't need to scroll. After you enlarge it and close, new Get Info windows will maintain the new size."

Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?
It should still be compatible. Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps? Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager. See this article for details.

I downloaded the latest iTunes version and now get the following error message: "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes." Can anyone provide suggestions on what I should do next?
Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now? -

I too cannot download latest itunes version. Apple needs to respond and fix what is certainly a software defect. Am seeing all of the same error messages including MSCVR80.dll is missing from computer. For Windows 7 a "Error 7 (Windows errror 126) appears. How do you get Apples's attention. It is impossible to link up with real support from their website?
Remove old Apple programs, and use Explorer web-browser. (Firefox or Chrome will not do)

Attempting to Restore my iPad 2 on Latest iTunes Version but Getting 3194 Error
I am trying to restore my iPad 2 on the latest iTunes version, but I am consistently getting the 3194 error. What is going on?
When I plugged my iPad 2 into my computer, I saw a popup stating that the iPad is in DFU mode, which is weird, since I never did anything to it. It was working fine with iOS 5, but now that I'm trying to restore it, it will not allow me to.Apple tech support documents for that error direct you to here:

My iTunes is not able to sync the iPhone 4. I'm using windows 7 32bit. At the first step it gets stuck refelcting backing up the phone then nothing happens for ages. I'm using the latest iTUnes version, does anyone have similar prob??? There are no error codes which appear and the iTUNES just gets hanged, is there a solution?
Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected. -

What events change the Created field in, finder, get info
On my laptop, in finder, in the get info screen there are 2 fields the Created Date and Modified Date fields.
I was looking at these fields for an app that I use on my iPhone, it was listed in finder, so I clicked the get info option.
The created date and modified date were 10/16 both the same.
I have not used this app in a long time, my question is this.
What event changes the created field? If the app was downloaded on the Iphone will the created field get updated in finder?
or if it was an update on itunes, would that change the created date in finder?
Does the created date mean that the app was downloaded and installed on that date?Thank you so much. That works just fine. However, I also just discovered something. Evidently, at least some of the fields in list view are editable. By adding Grouping to the columns shown and clicking on the empty field, I was actually able to type whatever I needed into the field.
I have not yet tried it with other fields, but will do so to see if it works for all fields in the list view.

The "get info" function is broken in iTunes 10 (and in iTunes 9.2)
*Steps to reproduce this iTunes BUG:*
_Step 1._
Edit some track info (the id3 tags) in a third party program.
(I'm a DJ, so I'm using Serato Scratch Live http://serato.com/scratchlive to edit most tags)
_Step 2._
Select all tracks in iTunes and press cmd+I to for the "Get Info" dialog.
_Step 3._
Click the "OK" button in the "Multiple Item Information" dialog.
*Expected Result:*
iTunes scans through all the selected tracks and updates any info that has been change in the 3rd party program. (This is default behavior in iTunes 9.1.1 and below)
*Actual Result:*
iTunes will _no longer scan_ the files for updated info, it will only check if the files are still are available on disk.
*Why this is such a big deal:*
I get new music almost every day. All tracks need to go into the DJ software for BPM analyze and organization. Tracks will then be imported into iTunes and added to several smart lists for syncronization to my iPods. After this function was broken there is no longer an easy way to update my smart lists with the new tracks coming in.
_Extra info:_
Settings "*Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized*" & "*Copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to Library*" are turned off. I need to manage my media folders manually.
+This iTunes issue is also logged with Serato Scratch Live Support:+
http://serato.com/forum/discussion/340778turingtest2,
*Workaround 1:*
This is not productive, I do A LOT of tags in Serato ScratchLIVE (Have about 45.000 songs in my library constantly) I will take a long time just to try to remember what songs I tagged.
*Workaround 2:*
This is even worse, it takes even longer, and you'll most likely loose stuff like playcount, added to library tag will get screwed up etc...
*Workaround 3:*
Id love to see a script like this, I had a look at DougScripts, but no luck yet. (I'm no programmer)
*Basically this is my problem:*
I'm doing quite a lot of work on all of my files regulary. (at least twice a week: fridays before DJ gigs, sundays after, and a probably a few times during the week too.) In short, I go through my tracks in Serato Scratch Live, add the text "3 star" etc, to the comments field (Serato Scratch Live don't read the iTunes star ratings), fix any genre tags (got a pretty extensive systems for those) etc, then rescan in iTunes and add the iTunes star rating as well.
Then there is smart lists in iTunes (based on star ratings, added date, genre etc.) that I sync to my iPods to keep updated on the go. This makes for a VERY efficient system for organizing the top tracks, and weeding out anything I don't want. (i will also do star ratings on the iPod on the go, re-sync to iTunes and add the to the comments field)
If I had to find every track manually in iTunes after doing the "star" comment tag in Serato Scratch Live, it would defeat the purpose. I would never manage to get by. I mean, iTunes only need to check if the file itself has changed since last id-scan, then read any new tag.
Even backup programs like Carbon Copy Cloner can go through 45.000 files in a snap, and only copy the altered ones, so why should it be so hard to rescan tags in iTunes?
To top this off:
I have loads of music ripped to my master archive (about 10.000 album cd's) So I'm always digging for tracks, rediscovering my collection. That's what DJ'ing is about I think, digging for the hidden gems. So yes, I'll never be done tagging all my songs, but at least if the rescan worked like it should, it would make my life "liveable"
After 2 month of neglect Id like to hear anyone from Apple comment on this.
Ive been using Macs for about 15 years, but this kind of thing is really disappointing. -
Get Info no longer works in iTunes store?
Whilst browsing in the iTunes store I often like to 'Get Info" on the tracks im looking at to see the songwriters and other info. Having just upgraded to iTunes 9 it appears that that function is no longer available (unless you actually buy the track and look at it in the normal Library window). Does anyone know whether this is the case or am I just missing something??
many thanksFind one of those "greyed out" songs on the exHD.
Right-click > Properties
The "Read Only" box should be blank.
edit: Or you could just right-click > properties on the exHD drive letter, and set everything to non read-only at once. Just make sure that box isn't checked.
Read-only tells Windows that no changes can be made to that file.

"Get info" on video files freezes iTunes for minutes.
When I right click a video file and select "get info", iTunes always freezes for at least 60 seconds. Then it shows the normal tag info. If I change anything and press ok it freezes again, then it works as it should (with the edited info saved properly). This is making it impossibly time consuming for me to organize my TV-Shows to my new iPod.
No issue with audio files, but all mp4 video I've tried so far gives me this issue (from movies of 2 hours to YouTube clips of 10 seconds length).
I have tried reinstalling with the newest version to no effect. I'm clueless, can't find anybody else with the same problem.
+_Help me please._+This has always been the case for me. I thought it was normal behavior for iTunes.

Right click get info menu missing in new itunes store
Before the update if i couldn't get the album artwork for an album i had imported from a CD i would find album and one of its tracks on the store, right click it and select "get info". I would then see a dialogue box containing the pertinent information about the song such as title, artist name, composer, album artist, year, track number. If i then copied this information into the "get info" box of the song in my itunes library and tried to get the album artwork again, more often than not it worked.
now when i load up the itunes store and find the song i want to check the tags for i can no longer right click on it to get the information, i can only left click it to play a sample.
is it possible to access the "get info" information in the store anymore, if not does anyone have any good suggestions for fixing the tags on songs so that itunes recognises them and will download artwork for them and recognise them for genius.
thanks
MattI havent tried it yet, but a partial solution appears to be downgrading.
