Editing track info in new iTunes 11.0?

I edit the info in each track, album etc, such as creating my own genres, adding years to the track title, correcting any mistakes, etc
I have downloaded the latest version on iTunes but now cannot seem to edit the info of a track that has been purchased from the ITunes store (I can still edit tracks Ive uploaded myself from CD).
How can I change the info of tracks?
Thank you

The option is still there: iTunes -> File menu -> Devices -> Transfer purchases from...

  • Difficult to edit album info in new iTunes.

    Every since the new iTunes 11 I get frustrated every day.
    I can't seem to organize my files like I used to. I used to be able to click control i = edit album info..I'd be able to hit "next" and organize info for every track in the album. I can no longer do that. I have to click on every single song seperately and edit it..no more next next next. Anyways..this is just one way the new iTunes is driving me nuts.
    Why did they change it???
    It was fine the way it has been for years.
    If anyone knows how to easily edit album info, please let me know.
    I mostly have problems when importing new music from downloaded mp3 files..unheard of things, like homeschooling history lessons audiobooks. Then I import it and sometimes it shuffles it up into 2 albums instead of one and I have to go back and highlight things, erase things, rename things, to get it to realize that this is one album, with many tracks.
    Sigh.
    Any help appreciated.
    Also, if iTunes people read this: If it's not broken, don't fix it. No idea why they changed the way iTunes looks. It's so much more difficult to use now.

    I have always managed my music manually, just tried the way you do it, cleaned up my libary synced with my phone and all is OK. Made edits and resynced all OK.
    Will manage all my music via the libary which I suppose is the best way to do it anyway.
    Thanks alot for your help.

  • Can't edit track info on some tracks...

    I've had this issue since iTunes 7.5, now I'm using 7.6.
    Lately I've been having problems when trying to edit track info in iTunes. Some tracks info field is greyed out and I therefore I can't make any changes to these tracks. Often it's tracks from an album where the other tracks are fully editable. When I choose show info in Finder on these specific tracks, only "System" has read and write access to the file. If I try to add myself (admin) Finder crashes and restarts. I've tried to change ID3 tags in iTunes but I'm told that the file is protected. I've also tried to change ID3 tags in MP3 Rage but to no help, it doesn't change anything in iTunes.
    I'm not really sure if this is a problem due to my OS 10.5 rather than iTunes, since I'm having the same issues with other kind of files e.g. pictures imported from my digi cam. When trying to rotate a picture in picture wiever and saving it, I'm told that I don't have the necessary permissions. And then again if I try to give myself read and write access Finder crashes.
    I've tried to repair disk permissions but are told that no repairs are necessary.
    All n all my Mac has been behaving strangely since upgrading to 10.5 (and now 10.5.1). Besides the issues described above, I'm experiencing "strange" things, such as volumes not being mounted, program and document icons changing, when trying to move a file (within folders on my internal drive) it's being copied instead of moved, and so on...
    I'mreally desperate for a little help, as I haven't got a clue about what's going on.
    TIA for any input.

    Ok just randomly solved this problem.I checked the iPhone and found the manually manage the music was unchecked. Checking this fixes things, but everytime I plug my iPhone into the computer it unchecks it again. Yet another reason NOT to upgrade to iTunes 11.

  • 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.

  • Unable to edit track info in iTunes on a Mac Air

    Hello,
    I recently switched from a windows PC to a Mac Air. All my music was organizaed on an external hard drive. I have now imported the music in to my iTunes on my Mac Air. I am unable to edit individual track info when I use "Get Info". I tried to look up for permissions on the particular folder and found that they are all set as "Read Only".
    Any help in this matter is appreciated.

    Go to your Music (media)  folder. The one that holds the actual files.
    Click it and press Cmd+I or right click and select "Get Info"
    In the Info pane, click the lock to change permissions:
    You'll need to tnter your password to make any chnages.
    Set ALL permissions to Read & Write
    Click the Gear and select "Apply to enclosed items..."
    Then click "OK" when asked if you're sure.
    Let it apply to everything and THEN try editing the track oinfo.

  • How do I edit track info on my Ipod? So not itunes, but actually on the ipod?

    I have seen lots of posts about going into preferences etc but that is for iTunes rather than your ipod...

    You cannot edit song (track) info on an iPod Classic.

  • Unable to edit track info

    I can't edit any track info on my songs (title, artist, etc), when i pull up the info screen the fields are grayed out so that I can't change them and on the main page I can't get the cursor to show up. I recently "consolidated" my library. Is this the problem? Can I undo that? Help?

    This gets asked several times per week. It's your OS permissions on the external HD or folder where the songs are stored.
    In Win Explorer, right-click > Properties, go to the security tab and make sure your windows userID has full control & ownership over that music folder and all child/subfolders.
    Some folks have even run into problems with windows UAC and had to temporarily turn that off to make changes.
    Remember:
    You need to restart itunes so it will read the new permission settings.

  • Can't edit track info

    I've recently switched to a MacMini from a Windows laptop. All of my music was stored on an external hard-drive. I have connected the hard-drive to the MacMini, opened iTunes and dropped the music folder into iTunes. All of my music is there, but it won't let me edit the track info.
    When I pull up the info on my external hard-drive, the ownership and permissions section indicates that it is read only. How do I get permission to write on it?
    The external hard-drive is formatted as a Windows NT filesystem. Do I need to reformat my external hard-drive to be able to write on it?

    Congrats on the Mini, Macs are awesome! What you'll have to do is make yourself the "owner" of the files. They have an owner of the user from you Windows box. It is a pretty simple process.
    In Finder navigate to the top level iTunes folder. Then click File->Get Info. At the bottom of the window is a permissions section. Click the arrow next to 'Details' under 'Ownership & Permissions' and then click the lock icon to change permissions. From there assign the 'Owner' as your user account name and make sure you set the access to 'Read & Write'. Everything else could be left the same.
    Hope that helps you out.

  • Song volume drops when I edit track info

    Just ran into a strange hiccup.
    I recorded a song, saved it as an AAC audio file, dragged it into iTunes.
    The song plays just fine in iTunes but obviously the track info is incomplete -- the name is the name of the file I saved and there is no artist, no album, no artwork, bla bla bla.  So I did the "Get Info" thing and made the needed edits.
    But -- and now it gets weird -- when I play the song with more info the volume is much diminished.
    I can increase the volume under Options in Get Info but something ain't right.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    I'm running iTunes 11.4 (18) on an iMac with OS X 10.9.4

    Hello Andy, You're not talking to Apple here, this is a user-to-user forum.
    I don't really understand your issue....do you mean the track number in the column Track# disappears, the x of y thing?

  • Help with editing 'Track Info'.

    I have all my iTunes purchases stored on a NAS.
    I downloaded 4 seasons of a TV show but the track information was not consistant across all seasons.
    The Episode ID was formatted differently on different seasons.
    Some episodes had no 'description' at all.
    The fifth (and final season) was not even available in the iTunes Australia store.
    So this is what I did:
    1) Purchased the fifth season from a local store on DVD
    2) Ripped that DVD to my PC
    3) Imported the last season into iTunes (and stored it in the N=same folder on the NAS as the original 4)
    4) Edited alll the track info to make them consistant.
       i) Added a brief summary to the episodes without a 'description
      ii) Changed all Episode ID to a standard S01E01, S0E02 ... S05E08 format
    iii) Edited the media type from 'Home Movie' to 'TV Series' on the 5th season that was ripped from CD.
    All worked perfectly and when viewed in iTunes on the PC I edited the information on, everything is fine.
    However, I then tried to view the episodes on my Apple TV, none of the changes that I had made show up on the device.
    Track information is exactly as it was (very badly) originally encoded by Apple.
    i.e. description is still empty on some tracks.
         episode ID all over the place
         the imported episodes show up in 'Movies' on the Apple TV
    I then opened the same NAS iTunes library on my second  PC and it all appears as it does on the Apple TV - i.e. WRONG and MISSING.
    I can only conclude that the 'info' I have 'edited' is not actually stored on the actual files, but rather somewhere on the PC itself and it acts as a 'bridge' and when I open the files from the NAS, somehow iTunes grabs the file from the NAS and 'overlays' the edited info stored locally when showing the episodes in iTunes.
    In other words, I have wasted my time as 95% of the time I watch on the Apple TV
    What have I missed and how do I edit the info so that it is captured by both PCs and my Apple TV?

    Looking at a sample file what have you got on the Proprties > Security tab?
    You should probably have Everyone or System with full access as well as your own login.

  • Transferring CD Track Info to New

    <SPAN class=postbody>Hi
    <SPAN class=postbody>Is it possible to transfer the file storing CD track info from one PC to another? If so do you know what the name of the file is which stores these CD track names etc ? In other words when I put a CD into the dri've, the Creative software picks up all the info from the last time I put it in and filled out the details. I've no web access, so I can't rely on CDDB everytime. I can't seem to find the file (if it exists), and I want to transfer it over to another PC because its storing a few hundred CD's worth of data.
    <SPAN class=postbody>Thanks

    If it is MediaSource you are using then the files are stored in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\**usename**\Application Data\Creative\Media Database
    Once MediaSource is installed on your new PC copy the files over from this folder to the same location on your new PC.

  • How to transfer iphones info with new itunes without losing everything

    my mac recently crashed due to hard drive failure. It has been replaced but has lost eveything on it. Now when i plug my iphone in the 'new' itunes doesnt recognize it and if i sync it will erase eveything. so i would love to know how i can transfer my music, contacts and apps to the new itunes? Thanks

    On your new Mac, start iTunes, check for updates and ensure you have the latest version.
    Sign-in to the iTunes Store (creating a new Apple Id if needed).
    On your old Mac locate your Song files and make a secure backup.
    Restore the secure backup to a folder on your new Mac.
    On your new Mac, import the Song files into your library - once complete, make a secure backup of your Song files.
    On your new Mac, start iTunes Match and allow the process to run to completion - following the notes in the User Tips area of this forum to overcome any issues that may arise.
    On your iPhone 5, start the iTunes Match service and allow the process to complete whilst in good local WiFi and/or physically connected.

  • 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...

  • How to edit track info in iTunes for Windows

    Sorry if this is a repeat but I've searched the discussions and didn't see one that really fit. I purchased a song off of a sound track and then a few days later I purchased the rest of the album. Turns out the single song I purchased was from a "Deluxe Album" and when I purchased the rest it was form the regular album. I was able to edit the name of the album on the Deluxe song so they are now grouped together in my library under one album (before they were in two separate albums) but the tracks are still not in order. The regular album tracks are numbered 2 of 17, 3 of 17,4 of 17 etc. but the deluxe song is numbered 1 of 21. How do I rename the track number, or some other idea, and put song #1 at the top to be played first??

    In iTunes hightlight the song and do Get Info (control-I). On the right hand side of the track's Info tab is the track number which you can change (you'll probably need to change both the track number and the 'of' value. You may also want to check the values on that screen are consistent with the rest of songs in the album, and possibly on the Sorting tab.

  • ITunes Won't Let Me Edit Track Info

    Usually, when I want to rename or edit something in a track within iTunes, I right-click, get info and I change it from there. For some reason now, most of my songs information (artist, track number etc.) cannot be changed. This problem affects about 50% of my library.
    Help !

    Song files can sometimes have their Read Only status activated when moving from disk to disk. In iTunes, select one song giving your trouble, and press Ctrl-R. Right-click the file, and choose Properties. Read Only is probably checkmarked.
    You don't need to uncheck each file individually. You can right-click on your My Music folder and opt to remove the checkmark on all items it contains with one click.
