Can't change info of music in iTunes 11.0.1

The other day I was updating my MacBook OS to OS X 10.8.2 with the latest version of iTunes 11.0.1. When I add legal music (not bought via iTunes Store) to my iTunes, I suddenly can't change the music info. Changing the properties to read and write doesn't work.
I'm logged in as the administrator to my MacBook. Does anyone has the same problem and/or solution?

Hello Ibmiami,
You can setup Smart albums that automatically update with new groupings as you make them.
Here is the link to the iTunes help page about that:
https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePath=English.lproj# itns3001
Create a Smart Playlist
Choose File > New > Smart Playlist.
Specify your rules.
To add another set of rules, hold down the Option key and click the Nest button. (When you hold down the Option key, the Add button changes to the Nest button.)
Take care,
Sterling

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from? 65000 files trying to be transferrd from external to internal HD. I dont want itunes to manage my collection, just read it. thanks

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

Should I set up separate apple ids for my kids or should we use mine? If we separate them, can we still share our music from itunes?

I have an iphone 5s and an ipad that both use my apple id. Last week, my 2 kids got iphones so they are also using my id. Should we create separate apple/icloud ids for them or should we all use mine? Can we continue to share music from itunes if we have separate ones? I'm really not sure of the best way to handle this and I don't want to screw anything up! I really appreciate any help! Thanks so much!

There can be more than one Apple IDs for one iPhone, and each ID will be responsible for its own functions. You could, for example, set up one for iCloud, which will contain your contacts, calendars, settings, your backups, etc. But at the same time you could have another Apple ID for purchasing your apps, so when you buy or get free app, App Store will ask you for Apple ID and you can enter another ID that is not the same that keeps your backups and settings.
If you want to separate your sons iPhone from your ID completely, you can change it in iCloud settings. Also it will make your children's life a lot easier.

Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed. How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone? Thank you.

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

If you want to make the itunes tab so you can see the dock
you press the
esc
button if your in full screen mode
if you want to get into full screen mode you press the arrows facing away from eachother in the top right corner
there is another way to get to the normal tab if your in full screen
make the curser go right up to the top of the screen and it will show the apple tab
it will have two arrows facing together highlited in blue
if u tap that it will take you to the normal tab

Hi,
If you activate match on your new laptop, you will have access to all music that you matched or uploaded. You have the option to retain the music by downloading to your computer. If you delete music, it will delete from cloud.

I can't get rid of the black screen unless I force quit the computer, then it starts ok. Then the process starts all over again.
