Can't edit or delete certain songs in my library

I feel powerless. I think certain songs in my library are "locked" or something, They play okay but I can't edit any of the info or delete them. I can delete the audio file from my music folder, but I still can't delete the song.

I wish I could mark your reply offensive. I mean really? It's experiencing a moment of gayness?

  • Can i delete certain songs from 1pod nano

    can i delete certain songs from my ipod nano?

    It depends on how you sync your iPod, if you sync with playlists you can remove a song by clicking it then clicking delete, if you sync by artist, album or genre you can't delete certain song. You can't delete them on your iPod.

  • I am trying to delete duplicate songs in my library, when I click on the duplicate and go to edit to delete it, it asks me if i want to delete the playlist!

    I am trying to delete duplicate songs in my library, when I go to edit to delete it, it asks me if I want to delete the playlist!

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • I just recently got a new laptop and transfered everything over and it seemed to be ok but now having issues playing videos and can't edit any of my song info in music files

    I just got a new laptop so I had to transfer everything over and I thought everything would be ok but I'm having some strange issues especially with my purchased tv shows, movies, and music videos. They just wont play. Sometimes I'll get lucky and a tv show will play but if I stop it and try again it wont. If I open in Quicktime it works fine. The computer is authorized so that shouldnt be it especially if it plays in QT and like I said sometimes I'll get lucky and one will play. Now the other thing I just noticed is all my music files play fine but when opening and looking at the info of the music file I can't edit anything for example song title or artist the area seems shaded and won't let me do any editing. So I'm having those 2 issues. Video files not playing ones that I have purchased. movies, tv shows and music videos. Also like I said if I just sit there and click one after another I may get lucky and one will play but if I stop it and try again it will not play again. And I can't seem to edit any music file which play fine. I have a new Dell with windows 7 and I have never had this happen any help would be great. The computer is authorized for i tunes so it cant be that.

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

    Sort of depend on what you are trying to do precisely. In Edit mode, if you tap on any label, you will be given a list of options, plus an Add Custom Label option near the bottom of the list

    IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
    IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
    But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
    I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
    I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

  • How can I edit and delete IOS 7 IPAD safari favorites?

    In IOS7/Ad safari, how can I edit or delete safari favorites?
    Thanks!
    Alan

    Thank you so much!   This solved my problem.
    I wish Apple made this sort of thing more accessible in its documentation somewhere.   I Google'd extensively but was unable to find anything relevant.
    Thanks much again!
    Alan
    P.S. -- I assume there's no way to delete multiple bookmarks/favorites simultaneously (I did it one at a time)...

  • Can't edit or delete some photos

    iPhoto has got me scratching my head. I've got a few photos that I can't edit or delete. I ran the iPhoto permission, library, and thumbnail rebuilds without any success. I looked at the file permissions and I have r/w.
    One odd thing is that I can see them in a smart album that matches a keyword but if I click on Library/Photos and search on the keyword, the problem photos don't appear. The smart album contains both problem and non-problem photos.
    If I export/import a problem photo (losing the keywords in the process), the new version is fine. So I'd just do that but I can't delete the originals so they'd be hanging around forever
    Any ideas?

    Willaim
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Since I moved to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro

    Is not funny at all, everything was fine using Mobile Me but since I switch to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete my Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro or my MacPro.
    In my MacBook Pro, i open Address Book and on the left I have te list of all contacts, on the right the selected contact informations, below I only have "Add Contact" or "Share", my friend have "Edit" instead of "Add Contact".
    If I click on "Add Contact" this is the result:
    Are you sure you want to import 1 card? 1 card is a duplicate and will be updated.
    Everything fine using my iPhone or the website.
    Apple, what's going on?

    Here is some information and instructions from Apple:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
    Please note that iCloud is geared towards being an instantaneous (and in some cases temporary) parking place for various things with iDevices; the access and useability from a computer is more difficult and, for most things, has to be done via the website icloud.com.

    Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device.  Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit.  I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

  • How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!

    Can someone please help me with this query:
    How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
    I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
    It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!

    Hi Amila1,
    Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
    If so is the Preview pane turned ON?
    Please check the doc: http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10862.aspx

  • I can't edit or delete contacts on galaxy 3.

    I just purchase galaxy3 yesterday.
    Sales lady transfered my contacts  from my old phone to galaxy 3.
    I can't edit or delete the contacts.
    "you cannot delete contacts from read-only accounts, but you can hide tehm in
    contacts" that is the message.
    I can add new phone # w/o any problem.
    What should I do?

    Does it say anywhere in the contact information view where the contacts were saved? Google, phone, SIM card, Facebook or something else?
