Can't update song information

After upgrading to iTunes 7.0, I'm starting to notice that I can't update the song information such as Name, Genre, Artwork, etc... My iTunes library resides on a afp volume mounted on an iMac. I've doubled checked the permissions and the logged in account has read/write/modify access to this volume. If I open the the selected song in finder for instance, I can rename the file. If I convert the file to mp3, iTunes is happy to make a copy and can write to the volume but the copy can't be edited either. Selecting "Convert ID3 tag...." on this song result in an error box "Could not convert ID3 tags for all of the selected song. The songs may be write-protected or of the wrong type.". Again, the file is not write protected. What's puzzeling is that not all files are affected. Some mp3's in the collection can be edited while some can't. Anyone experiencing this as well? Any clue?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

ITunes automatically updates song information?

For some reason itunes keeps updating song information and artwork when I already have information / artwork present. How do I switch this off as I find it incredibly annoying?

No its not checked. Basically album art just keeps disappearing and song information is changing itself. Its really odd. I looked through my library today and about 1 in 5 album art is gone. Any ideas?

Can't update song info in itunes

I keep my iTunes library on an external drive and recently had to replace the hard drive in my PC, at the same time I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.
Now I can't update any of the information on the songs which were already on the external drive. Any new songs are fine.
Can soemone help?

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 of 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.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

The thing is that my iPod just can't update to know that ios7 is available

Can't edit song information in ITunes library

I've imported a CD as MP3's and am unable to edit the track information. When I right click a song and open "Get Info" the song information is visible but not editable. This is the first time something like this has happened and I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

Since you say this is the first time it has happened, I assume you are going to the "Info" tab and not the "Summary" tab in the "Get Info" window? (That has confused me at times.)

Can't edit song information in itunes

I suddenly have not been able to edit song information, using file, edit, get info.
The areas to edit have been grayed out. Is there some setting i inadvertantly changed?

I just switched over to a Mac
This is the Windows forum.
You should post in the correct forum here -> iTunes for Mac
Anyway, select the \Music\iTunes\ folder, right click - get info.
Make you you have Read and Write permissions.

Can't update Audio Information in 7.6

The new version won't let me edit the information, does anyone know a way around this?

Sometimes Windows will mark files read-only, such as when they've been moved around a network or taken off a disk. Read-only files can't be edited in iTunes. To see if your file is read-only, select it in iTunes and press Ctrl-R. Right-click the file, and choose Properties. Remove any checkmark next to read-only. This technique works on a whole group of files too, so you could quickly remove the checkmark from all your songs if you need to.

[jnlp newbie] can jardiff update manifest information?

Hi all
( not fluent with jnlp)
suppose that package com.mybiz.things changes from version 1.2 to 1.3
this information is specified in the MANIFEST of myapp.jar
now myapp.jar is updated using jardiff
how can jardiff change the package version information in the MANIFEST of myapp.jar?
(bully option: consider the whole MANIFEST.MF and change it as any other file in the jar?)
thanks

I am not saying that validation of the JNLP file will make shortcuts work on Mac. Do the Macs. run Java 1.6.0_18+? If so, shortcuts can be installed using methods that return success/failure, through the IntegrationService *(<- link).*

Can't update payment information

Hi, i'm having issues with the payment of my CC subscription, but the information are correct.
What can i do? I tried to update it but everytime there is a "server error".

Hi,
any update on this?
Adobe are still debiting my previous credit card despite my changing it in the portal about 3 months ago.
I've just had a call from the Call Centre to change card details manually but both cards were declined - apparently because of a bank block against the merchant MACROMED5 because of the recent security breach.
The support guy suggested calling my bank to pre-warn them of an incoming transaction but very dubious.. Banks just don't work this way.
Seems to me that Adobe need to sort this out with the banks themselves.
My next step is to close the account / subsciption as I don't want the money coming out of the previous card any more as I have swapped banks and could easily get a bank charge.

Why does it take so long to update song information?

If you try and update the song details, especially adding artwork, it can sometimes take a few seconds to process each song. Is there a way to avoid this?

If you try and update the song details, especially
adding artwork, it can sometimes take a few seconds
to process each song.
Yes. This is because it has to write the song details into the file's tag. For most changes, especially small ones, this can be quite fast. For larger changes, like adding album art, it can sometimes require iTunes to rewrite the entire file. This takes time, and the main limitation is the speed of the drive and such.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Nope. It's just the way things work. It does use a method called "padding" in the tags which makes it a bit faster for writing small changes, but large changes will usually exceed the padding amount and require the whole file to be rewritten.
Best bet for speeding it up is to optimize the drive. Defrag it if it needs it, get a faster hard drive, use SATA instead of the older EIDE/PATA drives, etc.

Old Computer Crashed - Can't Update Songs To iPod On New One

My old computer crashed, I installed itunes on my new one and purchased some songs. Now I can't get the new songs to copy to my ipod. Itunes recognizes the ipod when I plug it in, and "updating ipod" flashes quickly but the songs don't copy. Also when I plug in the ipod the songs on it come up but I can't play them from itunes. Can anyone help me out?

First try resetting the ipod by holding the center and menu button for 6 to 10 sec.
If that doesn't work, go here and install the latest ipod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Once thats done goto start>all programs>ipod>ipod updater 06-28-2006 and restore the ipod. Restore will wipe the ipod clean of everything and then you use iTUnes to load it back up. More on restore can be read here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983

Can't update payment information for CC license

We've been trying to update our payment information for our CC license for the past several weeks. Never works. Now our license appears to have been suspended. Please advise.

My office received a phone message from an Adobe representative yesterday that the issue with updating my account had been resolved, and that my creative cloud license should once again be active. However, all attempts to access my software still return the same repeating sequence of messages: (1) Renew your subscription: Try Again; (2) Thank You, your subscription is now active. Click continue; (3) Renew your subsciption; Try Again . . .
As usual, the software still fails to launch. Moreover, my account info indicates that the new payment information has still NOT been captured. In short, the license remains inactive, and I'm left with confusing misinformation from the service representative who contacted us yesterday.
As a longtime, loyal and enthusiastic user of Adobe products, I find it extraordinarily disappointing that this has been going on for over a month without satisfactory resolution. Now that my Creative Cloud license has been rendered inactive for the majority of a week, I am at a full work stoppage. We now have more than six major projects in default. While my immediate concerns focus on my organization's reputation, my department's productivity, and my own credibility as a communications professional, the issue is of course much larger for Adobe as well as myself. I cannot begin to express how poorly this reflects on Adobe. Without a rapid and satisfactory resolution to this issue, it is increasingly likely that my organization will be obliged to move to alternative products for our communications needs. I do not relish the thought of moving away from a suite of products that has served us well for many years. Needless to say, such an outcome will almost certainly inform any recommendations we make to our professional associates with similar communications needs.
Let me be clear, I am tolerant of the fact that the recent cyber-attack on Adobe has created technical problems. However, it also seems to me that the lack of meaningful customer service and technical assistance is only making a bad situation even worse.

Can't update songs from itunes to ipod even after it shows ipod updated

Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.

If does not work
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
