Cannot edit info on tracks, have permissions set correctly.

So, I'm running the majority of my music off an external, the same external that hosts time machine. I created a seperate folder on the drive not involved with the back-ups for this to work. All of the permissions for all of the songs I've randomly checked are read and write.
But for some odd reason I cannot change any info on my tracks. Event though I have permission. I am also, the only user.
I CAN change the info for the mp3 files I have just imported from my desktop, not reading off the external. What am I missing here?

well I don't know why this happened, but it has resolved itself.
I suppose it was fixed after a reboot? not sure, but this is no longer an issue.

  • Cannot Edit Info

    Hey guys.
    Today, after wiping my laptop and reinstalling iTunes, I added all my songs back onto iTunes using "Add Folder to Library". I logged into my iTunes account, and I authorized my computer. Now that I've synched my iPod Touch with my library, I've noticed that no matter what I do, I cannot edit song information. Nothing. Can't change the name of songs, Artists, Albums, or Artwork. When I go into "Get Info", the "Info" tab is completely greyed out. Along with "Video", "Sorting", "Options", and "Artwork". The only thing I can change is the Rating of the songs.
    I can, however, right-click any song, click on "Create AAC version", and once that's complete, I can edit the NEW version. (Although, old and new versions are both AAC versions).
    So, anyone have an easier way of setting my iTunes to edit my songs, or do I have to create AAC versions of my huge library?

    I've done as that guide says, but when I get to the final steps, I get an error message saying:
    "An error occured while applying security information to:
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Access is denied."
    So it still won't allow me to edit songs within iTunes.
    EDIT: I've just noticed if I shift-click the desktop icon for iTunes, and select "Run as...", I can edit songs within iTunes, but I don't want to be shift-clicking each time I wish to use iTunes as its worked fine before.

  • ITunes - cannot edit info

    I am unable to make any changes in iTunes. Usually a slow double-click allows me to change Title, Artist, Genre, etc. When I right-click and select get info, the fields are all unavailable.
    Is there something I can do?

    I just upgraded to windows vista and iTunes 8.0 and had the same problem with all my songs that were originally windows media player songs, all in a separate folder from iTunes. I had iTunes import them all into its library, went to get info to edit and could not. Every field was grayed out. I went to my top level separate folder, clicked properties, clicked the security tab, and clicked 'Advanced". Selected the "permission entry" that matched my computer name (i.e. User (***\User) that had permission set to 'read & execute'. Then clicked 'Edit'. After the stupid vista continue dialog box, I selected the same entry again and clicked 'Edit'. Under 'Allow' in the list of permissions I checked the 'Full Control' box. Then OK, Apply, OK, etc...
    Went into iTunes, I can now edit info on all my songs. Please let me know if this helps.

  • Cannot edit my paging file which is set to 'no paging file"

    Hello,
    I am having a lot of trouble with my paging file (or lack of) and it relates to a thread in 2010 http://tinyurl.com/m3pz3yz - it wouldn't let me link the actual url)
    I just need some guidance really as I'm not too good with computers, and I'm at my wit's end trying to fix this after 5 hours. So this is my last resort.
    I have tried everything mentioned in the thread, I do not have the AFS driver in my registry, and the problem still persists in safemode. I saw people mentioned their OS loading from a VHD file, but
    I have no idea what that is or how to find out if mine is doing the same.
    The problem could be a third party driver, as mentioned in the thread, but because the problem still persists in safemode I don't know where to look.
    Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 LE
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
    Hard disk drive: WDC WD5002AALX-00J37A0
    The main problem is that when I go to play games on high graphics, they work perfectly for about 5 seconds then crash, and I get a windows error saying "Your computer is low on memory. Please close X programme." How ever my computer should be able
    to run games on the highest setting, but I believe that having no paging file is the cause of this.
    Kind Regards,
    Joe

  • Always Get Edit Link When Item Level Permissions Set

    We've enabled item-level permissions in a folder, and all users receive the "edit folder" button, regardless of whether we've given them "manage" access. Turning off item-level permissions removes the edit link.
    Is this a known issue? Any workaround/solution?

    That's just a "feature" of item level security, I don't think Oracle has any plans to fix it in 3.0.9X they probably have resolved the issuse in 9.0.2 ..... If you really need it gone you can click "Edit Defaults" when editing the page, right next to the portlet and uncheck the box that says show "Show Edit Link".. But then you just taken away the easy ability of editing the items through the portlet and you have to go back to the Content Area to update anything.

  • Entered incorrect Wi-Fi login, cannot edit info

    So I tried to log in to my school's network, but I entered the wrong username, and I cannot seem to fix it. I have tried using the Assit Me button, but the network doesn't appear, and when I just enter its name, I don't have an option to enter a username (only a password). Anyone dealt with this before?

    Sorry, but this is not really an AirPort networking issue or a problem with your MacBook Pro. I would suggest that you contact your school's IT department for assistance.

  • Cannot edit info about my upload?

    The info is three years old and needs updating. Must I trash all and reupload?
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1044 295
    In 'My Account' I am told that I have no uploads, when I actually do have two. I suppose my problems are connected to the site revamp a while back. What is the fix?
    Thanx!

    Hi Digital Crafts,
    Can you please post your concern to [email protected]?

  • All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

    All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them.   Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another.   I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition.   The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them.   In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

    There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

  • Cannot edit track info in itunes

    I just downloaded iTunes v. 10.6.3.25
    I connected my iPhone to my computer and let iTunes see that it's there. If I try to go in under devices to my music library that is on the phone NOT in the library on the computer and try to right click, get info, I cannot edit any of the track information in there.
    Do I have to sync the phone to my iTunes and transfer all of the music to the computer to be able to edit the info? I have an older iPod and I can connect it, go into devices and edit in there with no issues, it just won't let me do it on the phone.
    Please help!!

    Personally, I would edit the information in your iTunes Library and then connect the iPhone and Sync the library with the iPhone.
    Since it's a Sync (synchronization) of iTunes with your iPhone, any new information on the phone (such as play counts) will be synced with iTunes while the updated track information in the library will be synced with the phone.

  • I am trying to edit track names and genres from the library in iTunes, but the Get Info window has everything in grey, so I cannot edit anything. How do I edit?

    I am trying to edit track names and genres from the library in iTunes, but the Get Info window has everything in grey, so I cannot edit anything. How do I edit? Any ideas?

    I have the same problem since I installed iTunes 11.1.0.126.

  • HT1941 I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly. I am an old dude new to Mac OS. What up?

    I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly". I am an old dude new to Mac OS. Looked in settings but have no idea how to allow file sharing to myself. I have been using Aperture actively for 6 weeks. I'm the only one using this Mac. What up?

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

    It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
    I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

  • Cannot Edit Song Info

    I have several MP3 files that I cannot edit the info for. I just noticed/incurred this issue after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.0.70. After the iTunes 9.0.1.8 upgrade, I am still having the issue.
    When I try to click into a field, the cursor does not appear. When I right-click and choose "Get Info," everything is grayed out.
    This happens to MP3 files downloaded from the internet, MP3 files that I create/record myself on my PC, and also MP3 files ripped from CD. It does not happen with every MP3, though. Also, it can happen with some MP3 files from the same source as others that I can edit.
    One note is that I can find the file via Windows Explorer and physically edit the properties of the MP3 files using the "Advanced" properties. As soon as I change the title, author, album, etc. and play the song in iTunes, all of the correct/adjusted fields show.
    Another note that I have noticed on one particular pair of editable/non-editable MP3 files from the same source is that one is recognized as ID3 Tag v2.2 and one is ID3 Tag v2.3.
    Is this a known iTunes 9.0 bug or is there a fix for this issue?

    OK...Here's something to complicate the matter for you:
    I just went through some of my older MP3 files, some that I have customized the info on, and all of the info was grayed out and uneditable. I went through a few in a row and found one that I could edit. I closed the window and tried to edit the MP3s again. This time, I found that I could edit all of the ones I could not edit (just 5 seconds earlier) but could not edit the one I previously could edit. After closing the windows and trying a third time, I could edit all of the MP3 files in the list.
    What is up? Apple, are you aware of this issue?
