Delete a genre under "get info" genre list

Under "Get Info", how do I remove a genre from the list of genres? The list has become large and unwieldy...!

Your answer shows how to remove a genre that shows up on an ipod. I believe that the question being asked is how to remove a genre from the pulldown list in itunes.
At any rate, I'd love to know if there is a way to remove genres from the pulldown list on itunes, assuming that there are no songs listed under the genre that I want to delete.
It is my understanding that a couple of years ago, this was not possible. If that is still the case, does that apply to just the genre names that come in the list or also with genres that I added, but now want to delete?

For 10.7, hold down Command R at Startup and you get recovery Mode Utilities.
Choose Disk Utility. Select your Hard drive. Check the SMART Status for "Verified. Select the Boot Volume, by default it is "Macintosh HD".Run REPAIR disk. If it completes without incident, run Repair Permissions as well.
You can also hold down Option at Startup, and Choose Recovery HD as the boot device. It gets you to the same place in Utilities.

I can no longer delete lines on the get info screen

I'm trying to delete the artist on the get info screen. Until a few days ago, I was able to do so. Now, when I delete the artist, the get info screen appears as if the line has been deleted. However, when I click "OK" then close the screen, it hasn't been deleted. When I reopen the screen, that info is still there. I'm not doing anything differently that I did before. Is this a software issue in the latest version of iTunes?

Try going to settings> general> usage> storage> manage storage> look for the app and delete it from there.

Unknown user appears in get info permissions list

unknown user appears in get info permissions list of a lot of folders. I cant remove the user, change the permission level of that user. Is there a way of getting over this problem?
Here is a screenshot of the unknown user...

pzeitler, i tried your fix. it worked but only partly. i had to go to an admin account and do the sudo because my non-admin account that was affected does not allow me to sudo from it. so i do it from admin account and it seems i add my non-admin user to all admin files\folders with full permissions and no admin account user. so i open the home folder in get info, add admin user and set permission, apply recursively to all inside it. How ever, i couldnt remove the non-admin user from admin user folder permissions.
now i go to non-admin user account and find that unknown grp is gone for all except three folders (public/sites/downloads). i also checked a third, non-admin user and it seems unaffected by all the operations that i have performed. but it has the unknown grp in it.
I guess i have to wait for apple to fix it rather than mess up the system myself.

ITunes 8 "Lyric" tab under "Get info" is missing....

iTunes 8 "Lyric" tab under "Get info" is missing....
Now how do I add lyrics to my songs?!
How do I restore the lyric tab? Is it part of iTunes 8 new design?
Thank you!

Well, it won't show up if it's in WAV format.
WAV format doesn't have tags for lyrics.

I have a few desktop icons that won't allow me to move them to trash or relocate them on desktop. A PDF, a DOCX and a PART. Not locked under get info or get info command doesn't work. Suggestions?

Time Machine Running Very Slow After Repairing Permission under "get info"

Hi,
I have a timemachine backup external hard drive which had permissions problem (perhaps this is because I crossed over from 10.5 to 10.6 at some point?) When I enter timemachine some files had that red minus sign beside it and told me "you don't have permission to access its content", and this problem was not with all files but with some of files and folders scattered all over my backed up 500GB data.
This created a problem and i wasn't gonna go in and open "get info" for each folder and go under sharing & permissions to manually fix it to read & write (and I believe some files didn't even allow me to do this)
Now here is the real concern. What I did without thinking is I right clicked on the external hard drive in the finder and opened the "get info" window and went down to the sharing and permissions. At first I fixed all privileges to "read & write" by unlocking the lock, but this still didn't fix all restrictions on accessing files and folders.
So instead I clicked on the icon which appears to be a "gear" and selected the "apply to enclosed items" and ran this operation on my whole 2TB hard drive. This of course took over 12 hours as far as I can remember. And I think in some forum it said this can create a problem? (Granting permissions to some system related files which can cause critical problems perhaps)
I also think this action I took has caused the time machine external hard drive to run slow in almost every way. My question I guess is, is there a way to revert my action of clicking on the gear and running the "apply to enclosed items"? Or perhaps another fix?
I have no idea on how to go onwards from here and worried that if I continue using this all-permissions-altered 2TB hard drive that it will create a huge problem in the future.
Any advise from senior members and/or members who encountered such situations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Norio

Do not attempt to change the permissions on your backups.
And the problem you are having, on Lion, is far different from these old Leopard threads.
Please browse and/or search for similar threads in the Lion forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion?view=discussi ons#/

I did the same thing to my friend. He is a former Apple Representative.

I need to open FireFox 12.0 (on Mac Lion) in 32-bit mode. That option to restart in 32-bit doesn't exist under "Get Info" or anywhere. Your help please, Thanks!

The option to start in 32-bit mode is available in Safari. But Firefox 12.0 doesn't seem to even have it. Is it possible to upload an earlier version of Firefox? I need to be able to do this, the inability is actually interfering with work that I do to earn my living, so time is of the essence. Thanks for any help/guidance the community can offer.

Thank you, but that option doesn't seem to exist. I have attached a screen shot of the Get Info window, and I have been unable to locate the "Restart in 32-bit" option on it. It used to be right above the "locked" checkbox.

How do I tell what songs have altered Start/Stop times (Under "Get Info-Options") without opening every single song.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, I'll change the Start/Stop times of my songs, and I'll forget which ones I've done this to. For me, this can be a hassle, due to the number of songs I have, and the actual amount I listen to my iPod. I'll admit that it's my fault, that when I'm making a ringtone or simply shortening a song temporarily, I'll almost definitely forget to change that shortened time back after I'm done. But that moment when you're listening to a song and it abruptly ends, especially in a place I don't have access to iTunes (and in that situation I usually forget before I get home, exacerbating the problem even further), it can be the most annoying thing ever for me. I don't want to deal with it any longer, though, so here's my question:
How can I view which songs have altered Start/Stop times, without needing to view the Info for each individual song? I can't select all songs and then select "Get Info", because if I do that it won't even show the Option. The only reason I'm here is because I tried to figure it out myself, for weeks on end, and have returned no valid options for solution. So can someone please help me?

Customize the Finder window toolbar, adding the Path icon to it. Select an item and click on the Path icon or, as you already know, add path to the window. There's also copypath.app available via the App Store.

Problem changing information under "get info"?

I am using windows vista which I know has a lot of compatibility problems with itunes right now (including the fact that my ipod wont even work properly with it) but I'm not sure if this is causing the problem or not:
When I go into "get info" to change information about a song, its totally not working! when I try it for multiple songs at once, it looks like it will work (I can type the new name or whatever in) but then nothing happens/ the change doesnt save. For one song at a time, it wont even let me type in any of the fields! Help!

The Mac Mini and 3 NAS devices are all wired connections. All connections are 100MB full duplex and do not have issues copying files to or from the NAS devices or Mac. It is a home network with1 mac mini wired, 3 NAS wired, 3 laptops (wireless with 2 of them rearley on), 2 Apple TVs wireless, and one Windows desktop wired in.
At the time of editing no movies or music is beign played and not other major network traffic is going on.
When iTunes locks up i get the pinwheel and can do nothing else in iTunes. I have left it for over an hour with no change.

I cannot access the album artwork tab under 'Get Info' within iTunes.

I just manually added artwork for a song, so I know it isn't that I can't add any artwork. After I added it for the first song, I went to do it for another song-different title, also marked as an 'Unknown Album' and 'Unkown Artist' (they both were before I started to add the information in and artwork), but the 'Artwork' tab is grayed and unselectable. They have different artists and albums entirely. Just to be clear, the file is in .wav format before it was downloaded (free and legally) the was opened automatically in iTunes was the download finished. The file extension still says .wav on it. I'm including this information in case it helps. I am looking for a way to fix this and make it work, please help. Thank you in advance!
In case you want to know what the file is to try it yourself, it is the audio track for the following video. The video creator made the song and included a free download to the audio track in the description. It is the 'Extended Cut' version that I am trying to add artwork for.

Thank you!

Nevermind! I just had to convert it to an AAC version which can be found under the 'File' drop down menu. The option is under 'Create New Version' then 'Create AAC Version' I don't know what AAC is or means, but it duplicated the song but in a format I could add the artwork for. I found out that to add artwork for .wav files, the first must be converted. Thank you! I hope this helps other people too!

Unable to modify "info" under "get Info"

Just as the title says. I have a track that I downloaded, and I can't change or add info like the song title etc. any thoughts.
Is this because who ever ripped the file encoded it or is it something with iTunes?

Files can sometimes become write-protected when they're copied across a network or burned to disk. The file properties window probably has a checkmark next to "Read-only." To see, select the file in iTunes, and press Ctrl-R. Right-click on the file itself, and choose Properties. Remove the checkmark next to "Read-only." Now you should be able to edit the file's info in iTunes.

How do I update the Summary section under get info in ITunes?

Any help wuold be appreciated.

Thanks for that.
I guessed as much, but is it a recent addition?
Because the iPod Classic that my new one is replacing never had it. (That was a 120GB one, bought in November 2008, but I'm not sure if the software version was different.)
