Help! renaming my songs?

I click the song and go to "get info" and the option for artist is blank and greyed out... how do you rename songs?
Thanks!!!!!

This is no big deal, but in the future if you have iTunes problems, you may want to post in the iTunes forums, as you will find people better equipped to answer iTunes questions in there.
Just a suggestion!

I rename a song title, click it & doesnt save the title PLEASE HELP!!!

So I rename a song title since it is not labeled correctly, and then it changed the title, and moves to the alphabetically correct spot, but then if i double click it after it is changed, it automatically changes the song title back to the original one, and then moves the file automatically to the old spot that it was before i changed the title. Does that make sense? Please help! I am finding it very hard when i rename a song, and it doesnt work!
I am working with about 5000 mp3s and its a headache...
thanks!

View my earlier thread on id3 tag changes not sticking. I think I found the solution:
...These files would not allow the tag version to be changed from v2.4. However, if you ctrl-click->convert id3 tags and select id3 tags version as "none", it will default to v1.1. From there the tag info can be edited and the changes will stick. If you need to you can re-convert the tag version (eg.v2.3) and the edits will still be maintained.

Please help to remove songs weren't on playlist (and Itunes)!

Hi all,
I'm so new to this forum and if this post was in a wrong place, please forgive me!
I recently added a lot of songs into my Ipod. But today, I found that those songs weren't on my playlists, so I add them again (I don't know why?). Unfortunately, the songs I added yesterday WERE IN MY IPOD but not in Itunes (even in My Ipod Icon in Itunes). So I have many duplicated songs in my Ipod but only one copy in Itunes. Now I want to remove those duplicated songs and ones that present in Ipod hard drive but not appear in Itunes. Please help me to do so.
(I don't have Itunes Library in my computer since it takes too much space. I found this problem when I use a software to detect duplicated files. Many other songs that I didn't add today but already in my Ipod, and I want to remove those also!)
This is my 2nd Ipod and I know how to update firmware, adding songs... Please help me to solve this problem since it took about 3GB of wasting space on my Ipod!
Your helps are greatly appreciated!
Pardon my English. Have a great day all!

Hi Chris,
Because you said: "The songs can be in any any/all/no playlists.
On the iPod menu go to Music -> Songs.", but in my Ipod, at the Menu, I just have Playlist and Setting displayed. After your previous post, I try to set more options in the main display and I can't see the "No playlist" display!
"You already said you had duplicates so go to that song. Sings are in alphabetical order."
Firstly, with Ipod's tiny screen, are you going to browse one by one to see which songs are duplicated in about more than 300 duplicated files?
Secondly, And if you found it that way, what can you do in the Ipod itself? Ipod doesn't allow you to delete songs directly from itself. And when you plug it in the computer, run Itunes, those songs are disappeared (I said it didn't show on the Itunes). How can you delete it?
Thirdly, Those songs are not displayed in Ipod and Itunes! I only can found some duplicated songs via another software which only search for duplicated songs. And for songs that I didn't add in the second time, there's no way that I can find it.
In this case, I think there's only one solution that having a software to check the intire Ipod's database to find if there's anysong that present in Ipod's hard drive but not in Itunes.
"iTunes doesn’t rename them when they are put in the iPod. When they are added to iTunes, the file name is the song name. It is stored under the album which is stored under the a artist.
It’s a very easy, basic and simple way to store them."
I don't agree with you about this. Mp3 is collected from many sources. Many of them only have "Track 1" or "track n" in the title, and "No artist" or whatever artist etc... When we add it into Ipod, we have to rename it or correct it the way we like.
And look at the picture below, will you still think that Itunes doesn't remane them when they are put in the Ipod?. In this images, you'll see a long list of folders that stored music in your Ipod. The problem is any song that recently added into Ipod can be stored in folder F00 through Fnn.

And in this picture, a list of my music added into Ipod. Do you have your music named as 1584, HGNC or something like that? No, I don't think so and I don't think anyone on this earth could name thier music files that way. So, it's clear that Itunes DOES rename those song in it's own way and it's not a good way to handle music!

Renaming the song title by right click -- Get Info. But no longer able to do so.

I used to rename the songs in my iTunes from my PC while it was connecting to my iPhone by right click and Get Info. But I am no longer able to do that. When I right click, the Get Info part seems to be disabled for editing? Why is it so?

I Renamed some songs on my ITunes, they are changed on Itunes but not on my IPhone 3GS

Please Help me ... i added an album to my IPhone and renamed the Songs/Album and they changed on ITunes but not on my phone what is wrong ? im on the latest Version of ITunes and the new OS 5

Thanks for the response. That was helpful. However, I still want to know why did the songs I purchased yesterday appear on my IPod for downloading but the those I purchased today did not? After you rassistance I went to settings and turned on automatic downloading for my ipod. So if it wasn't enabled yesterday, how was I able to see the purchases I made yesterday on my computer on the ipod and then download them to the ipod? That is what I expected to see today but all I was seeing were the songs I purchased yesterday and not the ones I did today.

HT4914 does anybody know if Itunes match rename my songs with the right name?

Hi
I want to know if Itunes match will rename my songs files with the right name after sync. and if Itunes match will put the right cover to my songs too.
Thanks for all your help.

Reboot your computer
Disable your firewall and antivirus
Connect the cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not to a hub, but do not connect to the phone yet
Launch iTunes
Hold HOME and SLEEP buttons on the phone until the screen turns black, then release SLEEP but continue holding HOME
Connect the cable while holding HOME and wait for iTunes to recognize a phone in Recovery mode
Release the button and the phone should restore.

ITunes(10.6) or iTunes Match is renaming my songs

I updated to iTunes 10.6 yesterday everything was fine. This morning I noticed iTunes Match was turned off. Maybe from the update, no big, I signed back in. At least one of my song has been reverted back to UQLqfobz9Jpn.128. By chance I took a screen shot yesterday of the song and here it is again.
Notice iTunes got rid of any metadata that was not originally part of the song when imported(plays,rating,title).
My Questions:
1) Is there are way to revert the metadata back.
2) Some other songs are like this, any tips on finding them all?
3) Is the a tech support doc on this, I could only find info on HOW to rename a song.

You are experiencing a problem many others have reported. Basically, during the matching process, if there is a "clean" version of an "explicit" song, Apple is matching to the "clean" one. The explicit track is still on your computer unless you've removed it.
As for who would want a "clean" version of anything, only people who have purchased it could tell you why. Consider the legal implications, however, if someone who wanted "clean" versions suddenly found all their music had gone, well, nasty!
Apple's legal department may have forced engineering to put some measures in place to keep that from happening. If they did, they're working a little too well. Hopefully with time Apple will get it straightened out.

Why does the list "jump" whenever I rename a song?

Hey guys!
When I organize my music I look at the files in the "Songs"-section (I don't know how you call it, sorry).
Now with the newest iTunes-updates I noticed: whenever I rename a song or change the artist-name etc. the whole list makes a jump so that the renamed song appears at the top. Now this is not a huge problem, but if I want to change a few names in a row it gets really annoying because I always have to "reorientate". And using the Info-window is inefficient, since I usually just need to change two or three songs per album.
As far as I recall I never had this problem with older iTunes-versions.
Do you guys know if this is a new feature? And can I turn it off somehow?

Surely there must be a setting to kill this. Surely, no one at Apple would be so much of a ding dong to implement this "feature" with no recourse. About 900 of my scongs lost their matadata in the upgrade to iTunes 11. Every song that is renamed causes the list to scroll upward, automatically. There is no stopping. I lose lose my spot within the list and must scroll down for miles and miles and miles. Surely, programming can't be this bad at Apple. This is terrible. I want to disable this, any ideas?
one possible work around, as of iTunes 11.1.3, is to rename tracks via info window (shortcut: ⌘I). When you are done, hit Next (shortcut: ⌘N) so it shifts focus to the next song; now you can exit out by hitting OK (shortcut: Return or Enter). No rename, no srolling
If you have the same issue then I suggest trying this workflow . . . until Apple takes it away from us too

Rename a song on my iPad Air

How can I rename a song on my iPad Air? It just says Track #.

You can't do it directly on your iPad. If you have the song in your computer's iTunes library then you can rename it on there, delete the version from your iPad, and resync the renamed version back to your iPad

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
