For some unknown reason, Itunes won't let me edit Audio info
So I recently synced 1891 songs to my iPhone 5. Whilst the process was completed successfully I noticed where in my itunes library all of the artists were organised accordingly. But suddenly, due to some kind of idiotic magic a lot of my music had missing information/wrong information. Oh well, this happens I thought placidly believing that all I had to do was fix the info myself. But lo and behold for some unknown reason Itunes won't let me edit any of the info of the music on my Iphone 5. Why? I don't know. But I know for a fact that none of the music is "Read-Only" because I check and I did the same process with the same files on a different computer. My new computer (currently using) is authorized and everything seems to be in order, I have no idea why this isn't working but some help would be appreciated. Please. I'm sick of having to read forum after forum after doing the simplest things on Itunes, please someone from Apple answer my question with efficiency, or create a less convulted program
Sounds like the ID3 tags are messed up on those songs.
iTunes imports using v2.2 tags. Convert the tags to v2.3 and try adding the artwork.
Right-click > convert ID3 tags
Also, make sure they are not read-only files.

ITunes won't let me edit music info.
does anyone know how to fix that so it lets me edit the info & change the music volume?
First thing is to check the permissions of the external drive and the folders. You might have limited permissions or have it set for Read only.

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. -
ITunes won't let me edit song info or art
iTunes keeps me from editing song info or art on some tracks.
This happens all of the time, with no ryhme or reason that I can understand as to why it picks the ones it picks...for example:
I just tried to edit 4 tracks i had imported the mp3s of. I highlighted all of them, and changed the album art. 2 tracks changed, and the other two still had no art. I highlighted the two of them, and changed it again, this time 1 of them changed. I tried playing the stubborn track, and now it has a odd characteristic that wasn't there before i started this...now when I start the file playing, it plays the first 1.5 seconds, then plays them again, then plays the song. iTunes seems to think this is normal, and doesn't skip backwards...it just plays it like it was added on making the song longer. I try to add the art again...no luck...now there are 3 unwanted introductions...try again? now there are 4. Still no art. This completely perplexes me.
I am using windows xp media center, I have already stopped both WMP and WMC from accessing track info from the internet.
Anyone have any ideas?

ITunes won't let me edit song info
I can't make any changes to the track information in iTunes. Since many of the entrie in CDDB are incorrect or poorly done, I like to correct them. That's how I roll.
The tags don't get updated by iTunes unless you change them in iTunes.
It is WMP or Zune software updating the tags then iTunes reads them.
Windows Media Player is changing the ID3 tags.
Open Windows Media Player.
Go to Tools -> Options.
Click the Library tab.
Under Automatic Media information updates for files, uncheck everything. -
For some unknown reason my application "Remote" no longer works. I deleted it from my phone. Signed out of Itunes and back in. Turned back on home sharing and all that jazz but it says it cannot find my itunes library. Is anyone else having this problem and if so how did you fix it? Thx.
Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information -
does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...
I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else. -
ITunes 10.5 starts itself every few minutes for some unknown reason
iTunes 10.5 installed on a Vista system to perform the iPhone 5.0 iOS upgrade. Now iTunes starts itself every few minutes for some unknown reason. Exiting iTunes will close it (and, of course, remove it from the Task manager list of running applications), but in a while it will restart all over again.
Thoughts?if u have wifi sync on turn off open when this ipod/iphone/ipad is connected

For some unknown reason, my Apple ID Password does not work when trying to down load IBooks, Nook books, or new Apps. Everything else seems to work. Any suggestions out their???
I appreciate the info and realize that the Nook App is not related to my Apple account but this too has stopped working. My situation first started with the Nook App not down loading and then has now spread to my IBook and new app downloads. I have checked into my ITunes account and the ID and password are correct and at times when I am asked to submit my Apple password such as setting up this Apple Support Community the ID and password work. My problem seems to be just with trying to use my ID and password when wanting to download new books or apps. I can go into the IBook, Nook, and App stores and seemingly download an item but when clicking on the new book or app nothing happens and I get a message that states it can not get into the ITunes store and it wants me to either try again or cancel. This message appears usually ten minutes after I have tried to make a purchase. At other times when I attempt to download a book or app I lose the screen and the IPad goes into the opening screen. Short of redoing my Apple account or deleting an app and attempting to reload the app (but this won't work because the App store won't load new apps) I don't have a clue what to do.

For some unknown reason I have two Apple ITunes/ID Accounts in operation.
How do I completely delete one of these Accounts?I have a similar situation.. in my case, I started using an Apple ID a while back, then when MobileMe was introduced, I got an account there, and somehow that is the account that is mostly used when making updates or purchases.
Sometimes when making updates, it prompts me for the PW for one account, and sometimes for the other.
This is a real pain - is there anyway both these accounts can be consolidated into one? When I asked an Apple rep, I was told 'no', but they have been known to make mistakes when giving advice. So, is there a way? Technically, I don't see this as a problem.. but Apple seems to be of the opinion that this would lead to having apps 'shared' amoung users. I think all that would be necessary if for me to provide the necessary proof that both accounts are indeed mine, and not belonging to someone else.
If not, what about deleting the apps registered to one account, and then re-purchasing them with the other account? To do this, I would need to identify which apps are registered to which accouts - is this possible? Most of my apps are free, but there are a few I paid for.. not many, so this possible solution might work and not cost too much. Ideas? -
I previously was able to wirelessly ePrint to my HP Photosmart Plus e-All-In-One B210a using both my iPad & iPhone (both run IOS 5.1). For some unknown reason neither one can now print. I keep getting a message that the printer is no longer available. My MacBook continues to print ok. Any ideas?
Reboot everything. Router, printer and pad. If it used to work, it will again. It just lost itself somewhere.

I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard. For some unknown reason the Library application in Finder disappeared and I was using it only two days ago. Please could someone help? Thanks.
Hi cb-anc! Thank you for replying to my question. The Library application has disappeared,not the library folder. I went into the application a couple of days ago to trash some plist files and now the application has disappeared. I haven't upgraded to Lion but am still on now Leopard.

I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.
You can't use your account's balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card - your balance can only be used to buy content for yourself. Until you pay what you owe iTunes then you won't be able to download any items from the store on that account.
If you haven't got a valid credit card then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they can cancel the gift or take what you owe them from your balance: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
ITunes won't let me edit CD and song information?
I've added some cd's to my library and iTunes won't let me edit song information or add artwork.
There is a much easier way of solving this rather than converting all of the tracks to AAC..
1) Go to where the album folder is stored on your PC and right click on the folder.
2) Click on properties and unselect the box that says 'read only'. After clicking apply, click OK to confirm changes.
3) Now iTunes should let you edit the song info and add artwork
