How can I edit songs in my iTunes Library?

I have duplicate songs in my iTunes Library, but when I try to edit the artist it's "gray-toned" or doesn't allow me to. I ahve some artists that may have misspelled names or missing a period or apostrophe, or something small. But for some reason...I can't.
Any suggestions?

Give yourself FULL vista permissions on the entire iTunes music folder, and all its subfolders.

  • How can I remove songs from my itunes library without losing them...

    ... on my ipod. My hard drive is full and I was wondering if there was a way to only sync new music and delete old music from my library. Thanks.

    You simply have to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". You can get details here: Managing content manually on iPod
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • How can I copy songs in my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro to a new MacBook?

    I bought a Macbook Pro 13-inch a few weeks ago.
    Version: Mac OS X 10.7.1
    Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel core i7
    Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    I go to school now, but anyways, the school gave me a MacBook to study, play, and listen to music with, but I do not know how to copy songs from my MacBook Pro to my MacBook.
    Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    I looked around and tried all these different things, but no luck at all. When I connect the Macbook Pro and Macbook with an Ethernet Cable, it says Error Code (-3150). So does this mean I have to purchase EVERY SINGLE SONG AGAIN?!?!? If that is so, I will not do it, could anyone please help me? Thanks!!!

    No, you should not have to purchase everything again. The whole point of what Apple is doing now with iTunes Match and iCloud is "purchase only once, use on all your devices."
    As far as moving between machines, I have often done what sig described there, across my network instead of with a flash drive. Just copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the exact same location on the second computer. I have even copied between iTunes folders on a PC and Mac.
    The Error Code (-3150) is something probably completely unrelated to iTunes, like a network error. You must troubleshoot that separately. Instead of panicking, when you get an error you should Google it. I found this note:
    http://www.pc-library.com/errors/error-code/3150-0xC4E/
    It sounds like the error code is related to a problem with your network. Are you running any Internet filtering software like ad blockers or virus protection? I have seen those screw up iTunes access to the iTunes store before.

  • How can I delete songs from my iTunes Library & Computer

    I've read that you need to have your music within the iTunes media folder.
    My iTunes media folder is C:\Music
    My music is scattered about this folder in subfolders like C:\Music\MP3\Rock & C:\Music\Mp3\Reggae...etc yet it doesn't ask me if I'd like to send the track to the recycle bin when I delete something.
    I was hoping to use the song rating system to easily identify songs I want to remove from my computer but it won't work if it only deletes the song from my library.
    Thanks

    If iTunes is connected to files outside the designated iTunes Media folder then it won't offer to delete them when the tracks are removed from the library. See KillSelectedFiles for a tool that can do this.
    Alternatively you could consolidate your library so that all tracks are inside the media folder, but the downside with that is that you then have to hunt down the originals to delete. Or, instead of using iTunes own consolidate command, you could use my script ConsolidateByMoving.

  • Can't edit song information in ITunes library

    I've imported a CD as MP3's and am unable to edit the track information. When I right click a song and open "Get Info" the song information is visible but not editable. This is the first time something like this has happened and I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

    Since you say this is the first time it has happened, I assume you are going to the "Info" tab and not the "Summary" tab in the "Get Info" window? (That has confused me at times.)

  • How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
    The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
    Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
    Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
    Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
    Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
    We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
    Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
    As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

  • How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

    How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
    Thanks.

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone

    how can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone?
    The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
    The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.

    I can't do it that way. I erase these songs from the iTunes Library, but when I sycronize the iPhone, all these songs are copied again to the Library. Isn't there any way to stop that? Everything I buy on iTunes Store through my iPhone cannot be erased from the iPhone?
    WHY can't you do it the way 100 million people do it?

  • How can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.
