Cannot edit mp3 information

I am having trouble with iTunes 10.5.
My hard disk crashed recently and I have to import my mp3 files from my backup.
However, I realised that all the information fields (accessed through Get Info option) are grey out and I can't change a thing.
Can someone please help me out here?
I am using Windows 7 for my OS.

Cannot edit mp3 information after updating to iOS5

I updated my iPod touch 4 to iOS5 2 days ago, and then I found that it messed up part of the mp3 information I set up in my itunes libarary.
(Like losing my covers and albums missing from the artist column...etc)
Not a major mess-up so I thought I'd just fix them from iTunes.
I edited the information, and everything looks fine when I see it on iTunes on my PC, but nothings changes on my iPod.
I tried to sync my iPod, but it doesn't help either. Everything still looks messed up.
I've been trying to fix this problem for 2 days to no avail.
Is this just me, or it is a general problem for iOS5? (Coz I know some people have had their whole device wiped clean by iOS5.)
Please help. Thanks a million!

I've seen that same issue on my iPhone. I still don't have a fix for it

Cannot edit mp3's for ringtones

Hello All, new to the board. I have a 8320 (ATT) that will not let me edit mp3's for ringtones. I understand that Roxio for Blackberry has some features disabled, including the ability to edit. Oh, BTW I am using BDM 4.5. What is the workaround? Should I install full version of Roxio Muisc Creator? Which version has proven to work, 9 or 10?
In reading postings on the net I am seeing that the Roxio software for Blackberry has issues. Any help for a newbie BB owner would be appreciated. Does BB tech support monitor these boards?
Solved!

I cannot edit the informations of my tracks

Lately I installed iTunes 8.0 on my new computer under Windows Vista. Before that I had itunes 7.2 on my old computer under Windows XP. The old system ran with out any problem. But now I cannot change the informations of my album tracks. I can choose them, but it's not possible to change any characters. Did somebody else have this problem? It would be great if somebody could help me!

Vista might be a little different, where it needs FULL control and unchecking read-only is not enough permission.

Edit MP3 Information by tabbing to next field

Hi everyone. I recentely updated my iTunes to the latest version (10.4) on Snow Leopard. After the update I have lost the ability to tab through the various fields while editing a MP3 in list view. For example, when I click to edit the song Name, in previous versions I was able to hit tab to jump to the Artist field, then tab again to Album, etc.
With the current version I am unable to do so. Is there anyway to bring this functionality back or downgrade back to iTunes 10.3? Any help would be appreciated.

Same issue on Lion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15773707#15773707

In my Music Library the MPEG format files are greyed out and I cannot edit them, any ideas?

I have imported both ACC and MPEG files into my Itunes music library. On the ACC tunes I can edit information through Get Info command. On the MPEG tunes I cannot edit the information through Get Info command as all entries are greyed out. Any ideas?

Problem solved
Thanks I found the answer in other threads.

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.

I transferred all my Itunes music from an old PC to my new one with Windows 7. Now I cannot edit "artist" or anything else for the songs. It is all greyed out and I cannot enter information. Is there any way to correct this problem?

I transferred all of my music from an older PC to my new one with Windows 7. Now I cannot edit selected songs. The information is greyed out and I can't type over it (on all my music except NEW downloads). Can anyone help? I even have a few songs with NO artist tag and I can't write anything in them either.

It's a permissions problem. Try this: right click on your iTunes icon and choose "run as administrator" that might fix it.

Users cannot edit a shared calendar of a shared mailbox that was deleted from the cloud and recreated on premise

Description:
The following example account [email protected] is an on premise AD account being used as a shared mailbox in the cloud. We have discovered that regardless of what we do, not a single user can edit the calendar entries.
The following message is shown in Outlook Click to Run 2013 when an entry. "New appointment" button is also greyed out, including "Calendar Permissions" and some others.
This problem started when the shared mailbox was created wrongly by creating it in the cloud first and we had to delete it and start over. The "in the cloud" user was deleted and the same user was created in AD on-premise with the same account name
and then Dir Synced with the cloud. A license was assigned, a user mailbox on exchange online created and the type was converted to a shared mailbox and Editor rights were defined on the calendar folder for specific users.
Actions performed:
Action01: gave users Editor rights on calendar folder through powershell
Result01: Rights correctly added and can be seen when get-mailboxfolderpermission is ran
Action02: Opened calendar with Outlook and tried to edit entries
Result02: Error message pops up saying "You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right click the folder and check..."
Action03: Opened calendar with OWA of users
Result03: Users can edit the shared calendar on OWA
Action04: Gave users Full Access permission on mailbox with automapping on
Result04: Users can edit calendar in Outlook
Action05: Gave users Full Access permission on mailbox with automapping off (mailbox no longer visible in outlook)
Result05: Users cannot edit calendar in Outlook
Action06: Removed Full Access permission on mailbox for users
Result06: User cannot edit calendar in Outlook
Action07: Removed [email protected] from on-premise AD, performed dirsync, removed account from ms online using remove-msoluser -removefromrecyclebin
Result07: No trace of the account was anywhere to be found.
Action08: Created new [email protected] account on on-premise AD, assigned o365 license to user including exchange online license
Result08: New empty Exchange online mailbox was created
Action09: gave users Editor rights on calendar folder through powershell
Result09: Rights correctly added and can be seen when get-mailboxfolderpermission is ran
(Note: whenever mailboxfolder permissions are modified for this mailbox it's as if they are ran THREE times in a row, the first time they are applied and the powershell gives immediately 3 exceptions behind this:
An existing permission entry was found for user: [email protected]
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-MailboxFolderPermission], UserAlreadyExis...nEntryException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=DBXPR05MB046,RequestId=3b3e080e-9aaf-4db9-9b90-b7171d59eba2,TimeStamp=7/11/2014
   8:15:39] [FailureCategory=Cmdlet-UserAlreadyExistsInPermissionEntryException] 57078FCD,Microsoft.Exchange.Manageme
nt.StoreTasks.AddMailboxFolderPermission
    + PSComputerName        : outlook.office365.com
Any other mailbox does not do this when setting mailboxfolder permissions)
Action10: Opened calendar with Outlook and tried to edit entries
Result10: Error message pops up saying "You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right click the folder and check..."
Action11: Tried on a fresh new pc with first time logon
Result11: did not help
Additional information:
We have seen this problem with another user which was recreated, when he shares his calendar with others and people get the calendar invite email and click "Open Calendar" they receive a popup "The folder cannot be found".
My first impression points to a corruption/bug in the GAL on exchange online, since we're using o365 for midsize bussinesses we cannot use the AdressList role to expose the adresslist cmdlts for deeper troubleshooting.
PS:
Issue tested on different computers and with different user accounts, not a single user can edit the calendar of [email protected] when editor rights are given.
Noticed when editing rights for the shared mailbox in powershell after the first confirmation line
Office 2013 is click to run was updated to latest version, version number: 15.0.4659.1001

Greetings Gil,
I haven't heard of that one.
Questions:
Does the calendar in question show up in the "Subscriptions" category of iCal?
If you remove all accounts from iCal > Preferences > Accounts and quit and re-open iCal, does the calendar in question vanish? If so, does the calendar come back when you re-input the servers you need into iCal > Preferences > Accounts?
Can you provide a screen shot of your calendar sidebar.
While you answer those questions, some troubleshooting to try:
Try dragging one of your other calendars above this calendar that won't delete and then quit / re-open iCal and attempt to delete the calendar in question.
Failing that:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists at this point:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Hope that helps!

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?

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.

Cannot edit outgoing SMTP server list in mail.app

Did a fresh install of Snow Leopard on a new 13" Macbook Pro unibody and was trying to add an IMAP email account. After failing to connect, I was trying to specify the outgoing port and realized that I could not edit the outgoing SMTP server list.
Steps to reproduce error:
1. Open mail.app
2. Go to Mail > Preferences
3. Select "Accounts" tab and select any mail account
4. Select "Account Information" tab and click Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) drop down menu
5. Select "Edit SMTP Server List..."
After that point the instead of opening the list of servers with their settings, it simply returns to the "Account Information" screen. I'm a bit confused because I've never had this happen before in any other version of mail app. I cannot edit or delete any outgoing mail server accounts because of this. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

This should not happen. Had you migrated back to the fresh install the Mail folder in User-Library? Or is this a clean setup? I would go to User-Library-Preferences, and drag the com.apple.mail.plist to the trash, then open Mail and try again.

Tab between fields when editing song information

iTunes 10.4 removed the ability to tab between fields when editing song information. Is there another shortcut now?

Yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Actually the Tab sequence was reversed in 10.4. I'm upset that it took me until Septeber 2011 to figure it out. For the longest time, probably every release of iTunes. The Tab sequence went (Source-->Tab-->Search Music box-->Tab-->Tracks List)
Now it's the reverse and it's so annoying. I have both Mac and Windows and was able to downgrade my Windows iTunes to 10.3.x (though I had to downgrade to a previous iTunes Library.itl file. I cannot downgrade my Mac iTunes b/c it's my main library and I'd lose historic data by restoring and old iTunes Library.itl file
I've written to Apple about this several times the past few weeks but they've yet to address this. The latest version is 10.5 and it hasn't been restored. I WISH Apple would RESTORE this feature to its ORIGINAL design!!!

Edit MP3s in iTunes

Is there a way to edit MP3s in iTunes? For instance, if I have a 1 hour file I want to split into 3 20 minute files? I know I can do it by changing the "Start Time" and "End Time", but that requires duplicating the file and any change you make to one copy is made on another so I cannot have 3 different start/end times. Plus, the file size is still 100% of original.
Also, are there any fade-in, fade-out effects you can add? Any suggestions?

I am sure there are plenty of audio editing software titles out there; I actually use GarageBand which came with my computer. I don't know how computer saavy you are, but it didn't take long to learn the program using common sense and the help screens. It is very memory intensive, though - converting to aiff. then when you export to iTunes it goes in as aiff, but you can always convert back to mp3 or whatever and delete the aiff. And you have to re-enter all the song info. Now that I think about it.... it IS a lot of work, but you can do so much and you probably already have the GarageBand for free.
