Having Trouble Editing Songs On New Computer

I just got a new computer and I put all my music on there. I noticed that some things were different with a couple of songs and I wanted to edit the songs info. On every song/video on in my library, it won't let me edit them. Do I need to do something to allow me to edit my songs? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Most likely when you copied them over, Windows set the files to *Read Only*.
Check you file permissions and make sure you have Read and Write permissions.
To authorize your computer. play one of your purchased songs in iTunes.
It'll ask for your password.

Having trouble switching to a new computer.

I recently bought a new computer - OS Windows 7. My old comp is an XP. I have a 3rd Gen 64gb iPod Touch which I started using on the old XP, no troubles. I wanted to move everything to the 7 because it has a larger hard drive 500gb compared to the tiny 30gb on the xp which is 5 years old. So I downloaded iTunes on the 7 and authorized it but when I plugged in my iPod it kept saying that it was only an 8gb. I have iTunes set to not automatically sync, although my apps and music stopped working when I unplugged it and I had to restore using the old XP (I lost my saved status on some of my games and had to play the levels again ). can anyone help?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have moved all of my media onto my new computer! However every time I connected my ipod to the computer with itunes open it said "unable to sync. a required file is missing."
Now my music is still on my ipod but it will only play one song and then go back to the home screen.
I talked to tech support today who suggested uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling. I did that and still the issue persists. "unable to sync, a required file is missing." Has anyone ever encountered this before? (I'm going to be traveling from AK to OH soon which is about a 24 hour trip, and it would be wonderful if this could be resolved before then.)

Having trouble editing song titles, album titles and artists names.

does anyone know how this can be changed WITHOUT uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes? i was able to edit before but i'm not able to now....

i have the same problem but i cannot change the permissions of the folder.
it allows me to unlike the read only box and apply to all sub folders and files and click ok.
But reopen it and check the permissions and its back to read only again.

Having trouble putting movie on new Zen MX

*having trouble putting movie on new Zen MX? just recieved it in the mail. i am able to load mp3's without any problems. i want to put Incredible Hulk on to it for a road trip. Creative Centrale has no problem seeing the movie, i can use the rip function to bring up all the info on it. when i press start rip i get "dvd decoder not found". i have the latest media player 0 and also <span class="text">CyberLink PowerDVD.
this is one of the main reasons i purchased this player as i like to watch movies while i am on planes. if i can not get this player to do movies i will be retuning it ASAP and purchasing one that can do it without having to pull teeth to do it.
any help would be appreciated as i am leaving for a trip in 3 days and will be watching movies on a mp3 player by then(maybe not a ZEN)
i uderstand about the legal issues when ripping movies but the one of the reason i bought this player was because it stated you could watch movies on it. now if i can not do that then i have no reason to keep it

Sounds like you are missing the codecs which is a computer issue not the player. You can download codecs from microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...vice/[email protected]

I'm having trouble transferring songs from Laptop to devices

I'm having trouble transferring songs from my laptop to both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. I just added a new album to my library, and where before I used to select the songs I wanted to add to my devices, and then drag and drop them, this doesn't appear to work. I watched the tutorial and it says there is an 'Add to' option when you clkick on the device name in the top right hand corner. That doesn't appear on mine at all. Completely confused and nearing the end of my tether!

Make sure your device iOS is updated:

I am having trouble downloading lightroom to my computer.

Hello I am having trouble downloading lightroom to my computer. When I try to download the program I am directed to a page which says "You are running an operating system that Lightroom no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supporting platforms." what does this mean? is it my internet browser my computer my disc space? is this a common problem? how did you fix it?

It means what it says: you are running an operating system which Lightroom does not support.
Which operating system are you running. Is it a Mac or a Windows computer?
Lightroom requires either:
Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1
Mac OS X Server v10.7, v10.8 or v10.9
System requirements | Lightroom
If you're running Windows XP, or Vista or Mac O S X 10.6.8 or earlier then you cannot install or run Lightroom. You'll either have to upgrade or get a new computer.

My iPad 3 is not charging on my macbook pro mid-2012. It was working yesterday and it is not working now, and I'm trying to transfer files between them. How do I charge my iPad with my macbook without having to be a completely new computer?

I am trying to transfer files between my ipad 3 and my macbook pro mid-2012 and they will just not connect. I connected them yesterday and it worked fine. And i can not air drop these files into my ipad it has to be done through itunes. And i can not afford to buy a new computer. How do i get these two to connect without having to buy a completely new computer?

Computer USB ports, regardless of the computer maker, have a relatively low power output and thus are not good chargers. They will charge but it takes a long time. You should be charging your iPad from wall power, or a more powerful source like an in-car charger.
Buying another computer will not change that.

Hi asims01,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
Deleting songs downloaded to your device
Tap the Music app.
Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone. Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

Having trouble downloading itunes on my computer. i keep getting a error message that reads: apple sync notifier.exe- entry point not found.

Hello, can anyone help me out there? Im having trouble downloading itunes on my computer.
Ikeep getting a error message reading:
#1 applesyncnotifer.exe- entry point not found.
#2 the procedure entry point sqlite3-wal-checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library. sqlite3.d11.
#3 service 'apple mobile device' (apple mobile device)

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

Hey robr72339266,
With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
