Can no longer change info in itunes

I just got a new imac and successfully moved the music over from my old mac. I see, however, that I cannot change any info anymore. I highlight a song, do a 'get info', click info tab, and all fields are inaccessible. I am unsure of whether this has been so since I started the new mac or not (only 2 days).
There was a previous mention of this problem in this forum which I found using Search, but it was unanswered.

I replied a few minutes ago that I had read/write permissions over my itunes music folder. But further snooping around showed me that I could indeed change info over most songs, just not the specific ones I got hung up on yesterday. The culprit was that the offending songs were all in a folder called "unknown" or "unknown artist". both those folders allow only Read rights.
Now I just have to figure out why that is and how to change it. Thanks, Colin, for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. Help?

    Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • Can no longer change the G/L account in AO90

    Hi!
    I have a problem changing the G/L account in AO90 for an account determination where I have posted the wrong account. Since I have already created assets with an account determination that includes this account, it says that I "can no longer change the value '124000' for the G/L account.
    I have found some threads with info f.ex:
    - AC476 in transaction OBMSG, but it require SAP entry
    - reverse the posting values in transaction ABF1, but I'm not 100% sure how to reverse it...
    How can I remove the asset/reverse asset values so it will be possible for me to post the correct account? I'm currently working in a dev system, so these are fictive assets that I can delete (which I cannot do as there are values on them). But i have to get this in order to transport the correct properties to the test system.
    All help much appreciated!
    Regards
    Haakon Bekkestad

    Its Very Simple.
    To change GL Account for asset class first remove GL Account in A090 i.e.
    put it as blank and save it.
    Come out from AO90 transaction code and change gl account.
    It will posted.

    Go to iTunes menu View -> Show browser.
    Select a Genre at the top left which you want to change.
    This will show all songs with that Genre.
    Select all the songs shown and right click - get info.
    Change the Genre to what you want and the misspelled one will disappear.

  • With verson 12.01.26 my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match

    After downloading iTunes version 12.01.26 on my PC my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match. My itunes displayed a message at the top that it was connecting to the iTunes Store. After closing my laptop and opening it again after a few hours, there was a message stating that my computer was unable to connect to iTunes because of a problem with my internet connection. My laptop is connecting fine with the internet, yet not through the iTunes program, or at least it seems that way. I'm not positive but  feel like the issue may have stemmed when I downloaded the new version, I think maybe I messed up the process somehow by closing my computer or something.

  • I have music on my iPad, but I can no longer find it in itunes on my mac.  How do I get those CDs back in my library?

    I have music on my iPad, but I can no longer find it in itunes on my mac.  How do I get those "CDs" back in my library?  I cannot listen to them on my Mac or put them on another device!

    Thanks a lot!  After I sent the above post, I tried that.  It worked a little.  Some of the ones that I Purchased would not come up.  I followed instructions from Apple about going to Purchased and downloading them again, but ran into another problem.  They are greyed on my Mac and they will not download again.  It says to click on the iCloud beside them, but there is not one visible.  iCloud is set up, at least I thought it was.  I am sure there is a simple explanation, but I am missing it! 

  • You can no longer change the password

    Good day!
    I have a problem on a Netweaver 2004s BI server.
    When a user tries to change his password at the logon screen, the error message : "You can no longer change the password" appears.
    To clarify, user types his current user id and password in the logon screen, then clicks the "New Pasword" button. Then immediately the "You can no longer change the password" appears.
    This is not similar to the message that says you can only change your password once per day.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Regards
    Derik

    Ah.. that was interesting.. actually you wouldn't know about these errors which do not give u a clue.. in the right direction unless you have faced the problem. Good that the problem is resolved.
    Its more quicker to actually help, if you have access to the system.
    This error could have been easily sorted out by checking system log entry and audit logs or SUIM.

  • With newest ios 7 version, can no longer change "just this one" recurring calendar event, like if a monthly meeting time changes, but only this month. How to fix?

    With newest IOS7, installed this morning, can no longer change just one time, a recurring event-like a monthly meeting.  It used to ask if i want to change for this event only, or for all the events.  How else can you change the time "just this once" and leave the other times alone?

    no-turns out the only problem is taking the event from an "all day" event that repeats, to one with a time, if time is only for the one event this year.  Do all repeating events either need to be for the entire day, or for a time-but cannot change an all day event, to one with a time only for this event.
    I have the "all day" for the annual event so I don't forget to take care of this, but this year I want to give it a time so it is more prominant on the calendar.  Only wanted it at a specific time this year, and want it to stay "all day event" in the future. 
    I think the only way to fix is to make a new event just this year and give it a time, then keep the recurring event as as "all day".
    Not a big deal-thought it was a bigger problem than it turns out to be.
