File, get info, does not allow me to add grouping
This function used to work - File, get info. I could then change Artist, Album, Grouping, Genre, etc. Now for some reason, I can get the window to pop up, but everything is grayed out. I can see the info but cannot edit it. The only thing in black for editing is the start and stop time for the song. I don't want to edit this. I need to add a grouping title. This function used to work before the last program upgrades. Does anyone know why this might not be working? Is there a magic box somewhere that needs to be clicked on? Please help.
I had to go to were the songs were location on my hard drive and chance the security to allow full control then I could change it on iTunes

Get Info does not allow me to manually add album artwork
Hello,
I am trying to manually upload album artwork on iTunes with my Windows PC (Windows 8.1 64 bit). I followed all of the steps for doing this as outlined here in the Help section. I did a Google search, found the album artwork in JPEG format on the internet, and then saved it to a folder on my hard drive. I then went back into iTunes, right clicked on the album that is missing its artwork, and clicked the "Get info" button. When the next screen opens I select the "Artwork" tab, and then I select the "Add Artwork button." This opens up a browser for my file directory, and then I went to the folder where I saved the album artwork and double clicked on the particular JPEG I wanted to add for the CD. The JPEG was immediately loaded onto the screen, and everything looked good to go. However, when I hit the "OK" button to select this uploaded album artwork which is loaded on the screen, for whatever reason iTunes does not save it, and the album artwork icon for the CD remains blank. Let me know where I am going wrong, or if this is a bug that needs to be addressed.
Also, I have a program called Music Collectorz that I am using to catalog all of my CDs as I burn my collection to iTunes. For those CDs in which the Collectorz program cannot automatically find or identify the appropriate album artwork on its own, I can open up the Collectorz program's own version of "Get Info" and select "Find Cover Art." By doing this, the Collectorz program automatically does a search on the internet--without me having to leave the Collectorz program--and retrieves several "hits" it located for the missing artworkwhich it displays on another window within the program. I then simply double click with the mouse on the photo of the artwork file I want to upload to associate with the particular CD, and it is automatically uploaded and associated with the CD. Also, the Collectorz program will only allow you to upload artwork that is saved in file formats and sizes that are supported by the program like JPEG files.
It seems to me that Apple should have an easy way like this to manually add album artwork in iTunes. I should not have to do a separate Google search outside of the iTunes program, then save a JPEG to my hard-drive in another folder, and then go back into iTunes to add (or try to add) it to a CD's profile. This is a waste of time, and involves several unnecessary steps. This process should all be incorporated through the iTunes program as a one-stop shop method. I should never have to leave the iTunes program to add any artwork ever.
I look forward to your response on this.
Thanks,I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again. -

The RFX before upgrade does not allow me to add items from catalog
hello gurus
I have a problem with the RFX, we did an upgrade to SRM7.0 from SRM5.0.
The RFX that existed before upgrade in the server does not allow me to add new items from catalog.
each RFx I created after the upgrade works fine.
My client needs to work with the RFx still open, add items and make bids.
I have reviewed the upgrade guide and found nothing regarding an update of purchasing documents.
I have
SRM 7.0 SPS03 EHP1
MDM 7.1 SP06
MDM catalog 3.0SP10in SRM 5.0 the system was MDM catalog. Actually, after the upgrade , i have SRM7.01 with MDM catalog.
i donn´t know if it is about version, SP or compatability issue, but i believe the upgrade not affect the purchaser documents.
Those look as locked to modify. on tap Position, the buttom ADD LINE, only i can see Position, not anymore option like MDM catalog, free text.
it is a big problem, because the client has documents opened. i need to resolve this issue. Actually i am working in a sandbox system, but i afraid to have the same problem in PRD system after upgrade.

File size in finder ' get info' does not refresh
I'm moving files about and need to check how large the folders are (in preparation for burning a dvd). 'Get info' is not refreshing the file size (and it's not just enormous folders). I have installed 'Refresh Finder' but it doesn't make any difference. The only way I can see the true file size is by restarting (a pain). What else can I try?
Yes, Finder can be a bit slow to update. It shouldn't be necessary to restart, though; using the force quit dialogue to relaunch Finder should suffice.
Press cmd-opt-esc (⌘⌥ esc) to bring up the dialogue, select Finder and click relaunch. -
Itunes will not allow me to Import Folder with the new version. Does anyone see what I am most obviously missing. It only allows me to add file to library and not folder. as usually add huge amounts of files at once. please advise.
"Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot: -

Hello,
After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
3) Deactivating the firewall;
4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
I cannot sync anything at all.
BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
Thanks.
D.No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail. For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud. I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work. When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed. If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers. hmmm. I hope they get this bug fixed some. would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go. Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating. I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

OS 10.6.8 running iTunes 10.4.1 Get Info does not have option to set 32-bit. What now?
When I start my iTunes I get a message, ""To run Ituns in 32-bit mode, select the iTunes application in the Finder, choose the "Get Info' command in the File menu, and check the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox in the iTunes Info window.""
There is no "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox in the iTunes Info window?!!!I solved it myself by downloading a fresh copy of iTunes from Apple.com and it all worked! No problem with 32-bit on this copy. Yeah!

'Get info' does not open after alarm goes off
Using iCal, before an alarm goes off, I'm able to 'get info'/'edit' the event, but after an alarm goes off, I'm unable to edit the event unless I quit and reopen the app. Any ideas why and how to resolve?
I posted this over a week ago. Does anyone have an idea how to rectify this. I can't be the only one having this problem!

Using Numbers 3.2, one of my tables does not allow me to add rows.
This table does not have the "=" or "_|" symbol at the bottom, allowing me to add rows. The menu bar under Table>Add Row Above and Table>Add Row Below are both grayed out. What can I do to add rows?
My computer is a MacBook Pro 15", late 2013; 2.6 GHz, 16GB RAM, OSZX 10.9.3Hi Patrick,
On way to experience this is if you have a filter running and some of your rows are hidden. If the is the case, just unclick the filter.

I recently upgraded to Numbers 3.5.2. I have an older Macbook Pro (2009) and I run Yosemite 10.10.2. I am unable to open any saved files that were created with earlier versions of Numbers. When I open the Numbers app, I am offered the Welcome To Numbers page. When I choose the 'Open Recent' option, I am offered the greyed names of files that I had recently used, however, I am unable to open any of these files (no error message is displayed). Welcome To Numbers stays on the screen. I tried opening the app by clicking on the file name but it produced the same results. I am having a similar problem with Pages. I suspect a compatibility problem between the new OSX and the new iWork offerings. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does it require a setting change or is it a bug?
I managed to download and install the iWork '09 apps. However, when I attempt to open the app, I receive this error message:
Numbers cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Numbers works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
Problem Details and Configuration:
Process: Numbers [39838]
Path: /Applications/iWork '09/Numbers.app/Contents/Mac OS/Numbers
Identifier: com.apple.iWork.Numbers
Version ???
Build Info: Numbers-2990000~12
Code Type: X86 (Native)
Parent Process: ??? [1]
Responsible: Numbers [39838]
User ID: 501
Any thoughts as to what has to happen next? I am running the latest OS X available (Yosemite 10.10.2)
