Changed computer now cannot edit.

I recently changed my computer and upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. Downloaded the itunes and my music which is on an external hard drive and cannot seem to be able to edit any songs or album info, nor can i get the missing artwork to transfer from my files. What have i done wrong?

It's what you haven't done yet to tell Windows 7 you are the owner of those files.
When you don't have permissions, iTunes doesn't have permission and just grays things out, and doesn't give any kind of error message. It just silently fails to make the changes.
Give yourself full control & ownership over the root drive letter of that exHD. Make sure to check the box for "Replace owner..."
This web page has screenshots of what I'm talking about.

    recently changed ISP, now cannot send emails on iPad but can receive them

    Make sure that your username and password are set in the outgoing mail servers setting.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • Itunes update issue restarted computer now cannot start itunes

    Prompted to download latest itunes version, I did this and restarted computer and now cannot restart itunes message "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall." Do I have any options except reinstall will I lose all my playlists? Any assistance much appreciated.

    THANKYOU SO MUCH.
    I update this morning at work, on VISTA with iphone 4. Same thing, i restart, it tells me Itunes cannot start as files are missing.
    I seached EVERYWHERE, with lots of stupid long winded possible solutions.
    THIS WORKS, and its ONE SIMPLE CLICK... WHY DO APPLE NOT HAVE THIS LISTED ON THE FRONT OF SOLUTIONS
    THanks to those who actually know what to do above.

  • Newly authorized computer, now cannot find any iPhoto and iTunes libraries. Ideas?

    I've authorized my new computer, but now cannot locate any iPhoto or iTunes libraries.  I have an older Apple ID and a newer, icloud.com id and neither will work. Ideas? Thanks

    How did you transfer your files from the old Mac to your new one?
    What system are you running on your new Mac and what is on the old one?

  • New computer, transferred old iTunes library, now cannot edit track info?

    On my old laptop (Vista) I ran my iTunes library from an external hard drive. I have now got a new laptop (Windows 7) and transferred the iTunes library information to the new computer. The media files are still stored on the external hard drive, but I am unable to edit any track information; it is all greyed out.
    I have changed folder permissions and administrator settings and ensured the files aren't read-only but still can't find a solution. Anyone know what I'm missing?

    Did you grant yourself and system full control of the media folder and all files & subfolders? See this post...

  • Re- Installed software, connected but now cannot edit

    I had changed my ftp password and email and had some other
    issues, so I uninstalled Adobe Contribute and re-installed and
    re-started. I have a connection but when I try to edit, it says I
    cannot because it is currently being edited by another user (my id
    and old e-mail are shown as the "other user".)
    Should I have deactivated prior to uninstalling and then just
    started all over that way? I have tried to look under Admin to
    change my ID and e-mail but do not see an option for this. How do I
    log off the old and access to Edit? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Please add yourself as administrator, that is please go to
    edit -> Administer website -> <website>
    Now your new username will be added to the administrator
    role.
    Go the page that you want to edit. Now you will have a info
    bar that some one is currently editing the page please click here
    to make the page editable. Please go ahead and break the lock after
    which you will be able to edit the page.
    Only users in administrator role can break the locak and make
    page editable.
    Thanks,
    Radhika

  • I updated the OS and now cannot edit pictures in Aperture because the program continuously jumps back to another picture

    its super annoying and I have wasted hours today trying to fix it. Updated Aperture. Restarted and shut down computer. Deleted the /library/preferences as suggested

    Sorry, mu iPod wasn't allowing me to type anything else. Not a good day for technology for me! Let me see if I can find that info...
    I'm not sure which model. Purchased about 2 years ago. Using OS X Yosemite. Version 3.6 of Aperture. And another person had a similar question about jumping to other pictures on here and that was a suggestion.
    When I go into Aperture, the first picture that shows up becomes the picture that it continuously jumps back to, once I edit it. Say I crop the first picture and move to the next one, it'll jump back to that first picture. Scroll 10 pictures down and the first picture will show up even though the picture highlighted is not the picture showing. This is leaving me unable to edit anything and quite frustrated.
    Thanks

  • Installed snow leopard on 2006 computer, now cannot connect with printer

        There is an error message that is not listed in the manual when trying to print now.  Any suggestions?  Should I unistall the driver and reinstall it?  If so how?  Thank you!

    Well, you're not listing any information on your printer and no specific iMac model, so helping is a bit of a guess at this point:
    First, go to Print Pane in System Preferences and uninstall (delete or the minus sign) the printer if shown. Then click the + to add it. Make sure the printer is connected and on at that point. If that does not work, go to the printer mfr's website and check their support for new drivers, how to uninstall old and how to install new ones.
    This happens quite frequently - you have to update your softwares and drivers when you install an OS update.

  • When we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile

    when we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile.  How do i go back to that old account and delete it so that I can continue backing up on the newest account?  I changed it because the original one I created an iCloud account with is a yahoo account email address and I am deleting my yahoo account for being compromised too may times. 

    Well, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and change the password if you can answer the Security Questions:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you cannot remember the Security Questions you can contact iTunes Support to reset them for you:
    New iTunes Support - US and ww
    Once you get your password reset and you can access your account info on Manage your Apple ID, you can change your ID. You won't be able to use the same email address that you are using for the new ID unless you change that one to something else. But, if you can get back into your old ID and change it to a new email address, then you can go on using that old ID, and just manually move the iCloud stuff you added to your new ID back onto the old one. Most of the stuff (like Contacts, Calendar, Notes) can be added by logging onto https://www.icloud.com on your Mac and doing it that way (it is a lot simpler when you have an actual keyboard in my opinion)
    Hope this helps you to sort out the two ID business. If you have any questions, please post back!
    Cheers,

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF's  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools Comment

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s  and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

    What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

    Hi Roger
    Thank you for your reply.
    My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
    However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
    Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
    I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
    Thanks is advance.

  • I downloaded 200  photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit.  I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now.  Is there anything to do?

    I downloaded 200  photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit.  I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now.  Is there anything to do?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Also some of the pictures have a my voice message that now is not available. Also, some are movie pictures that again an icon but nothing else

    If you could remove the card without destroying the laptop, you would then be able to see if the integrated Intel chip works
    Do you currently have the Intel chip turned off in the BIOS... or are you using the switchable graphics feature?
    If you ARE using switchable graphics, that MAY be your problem
    Dual video laptop problems... ignore this if you have the Intel chip turned off in BIOS
