Change data regarding song information in iTunes not working,

Hey everyone, I was writing to see if anyone else was seeing this problem. I want to change the data on some of the music in my iTunes library and every time I attempt to do so it will not affect the songs.
Example: I wanted to add genre data to Random Access Memories so I select all the songs in the album. Right click and choose "Get Info." Go to the bottom and type in the genre information and click ok to confirm the change, but then after the dialogue disappears it does not change the song genre information at all.
Thank you for all the help.

Morning SquatingCow,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Authorizing songs to my itunes not working

    My friend sent me an email with songs attached to it which she purchased from iTunes. I have tried authorizing it into my iTunes using her password and it says the download was succsessful, but when I go to play the song, another window pops-up saying I have to authorize it again. It keeps doing this. Anyone have an idea how i can download the songs to my itunes without having to re-enter the password again and again?

    What worked for me was to uninstall from the control panel in this order: Thanks to another post on this board... this worked... link to the discussion here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5817584?tstart=0

    I had problems uninstalling Apple Mobile Support, I had to repair it first before I could uninstall it. You will have to restart the computer after all the uninstalls, and before reinstalling ITunes. I reinstalled ITunes from the Apple website afterwards (fresh download) ... everything works for me now that I have done this.

  • Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11

    Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11, anyone having the same issue?

    Thanks for figuring that out.
    I thought that command-L was working when I first switched to iTunes 11, but then it wasn't working anymore. That's the ticket: I changed the display to show the sidebar.
    Still, I'd like to be able to use the command-L feature whether I'm showing the sidebar or not.
    I'd also like it if iTunes would keep showing the currently playing song when in Grid or Artist view modes. It doesn't, so I have to keep using command-L to see the current song info.

  • HT5114 how do I change my credit card information for itunes?

    how do I change my credit card information for itunes?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup (that should also give you a payment link on your account's page)

  • Work around for iTunes not working with shuttle

    Well, I have found a work around for the iTunes not working the the Shuttle. It is not pretty, and many of you may not choose to follow my lead. This procedure has a lot of dumb steps in it, but in the end, one can copy data/songs to a Shuttle.
    It involves removing the current iTunes and replacing it with a version that also had a bug in it.( I told you it ain't pretty).
    Procedure:
    1. Go to this url: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
    2. Download the old 8.0 version of iTunes for Windows.
    3. Remove the current iTunes from your computer. Note after you run the remove utility in Windows, you need to delete the iTune library that isn't removed.
    4. Install iTunes 8.0
    Here is where it gets dumb.
    This version of iTunes has a bug with the USB interface, but there is an easy work around.
    5. Make sure the Shuttle is not connected when you launch iTunes.
    6. After iTunes comeup, attach the Shuttle.
    7. iTunes should see your Shuttle.
    8. Select the music you want to upload, and drag it to the Shuttle.
    9. iTunes will just sit there, so you need to get its attention. To get its attention you must disconnect and reconnect one of your USB devices, just not the Shuttle. Some folks do their mouse, one used a USB drive, and another on used is GPS because he was working from a laptop and did not have a mouse.
    10. In a few moments, iTunes will do its thing and copy your data to the Shuttle. You must do this routine for each copy, so if you develop a Play List, you only have to do step 9 once.
    The getting the old copy of iTunes was my idea, but a gentleman from a year ago figured out the mouse step.
    I am now a happy camper, my Shuttle is full of music again.
    However, I hope Apple finds a fix for the 8.2 problem soon.
    Take care all.

    I stand corrected on the name. By the time I figured out how to copy the songs I had a few other names in mind.
    One of the first things I tried was the Reset utility. After the iTunes restore did not work, I went looking for something else. After using the utility, I connected the iPod and resynced. I had left the Autofill box checked. iTunes autofilled the iPod. I deleted those songs and tried to put a different play list in. It would not copy the songs, iTunes said there was no room even though the play list for the shuffle was empty. I looked at the settings screen and it said the iPod was full. I synced the iPod to my Mac, and that got rid of the "full" indication. That is when I started looking for an older version of iTunes, unfortunately all I could find is a version with the USB bug.
