How can I unlock song info in iTunes?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and transferred my iTunes library from my old PC. However, I cannot edit any of the song information for the songs that were from the PC (the fields are greyed out and locked). I have already gone into the Get Info window for Music through Finder, selected "Read and Write" as permissions, and applied that to all enclosed folders. I also made sure that the "Locked" checkbox under General was unchecked.
Everything is still locked! Help!
All songs that I newly added to the MacBook are editable. It is just the songs I had before i bought it that are locked.

Hi,
I'm not sure, but may work :
Try to turn the ipad into DFU mode and connect to itunes.
Then, restore the device with your backup data on your laptop/pc

Go to iTunes menu View -> Show browser.
Select a Genre at the top left which you want to change.
This will show all songs with that Genre.
Select all the songs shown and right click - get info.
Change the Genre to what you want and the misspelled one will disappear.

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.

thanks

If I knew how to edit that field I would have stated so - it is possible that the programers didn't allow editing for a particular reason - blame them - not the people trying to help you find a way around the your particular issue.
I know that you cannot edit the field that you want to edit - I only offered a viable suggestion as to how to get around the problem. I have the same beef - but I found a suitable way around the problem. Is no longer an issue for me.

When you have important videos/photos on your iPad, you should backup frequently.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

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 transfer songs from one itunes to another?

I have a new computer and want to transfer all of my songs from one computer to another. I have home sharing turned on but can't figure out how to save the songs to the new computer.

I have home sharing turned on but can't figure out how to save the songs to the new computer.
First, make sure you've got the home share set up on both computers, as per the following document. If material on the original PC was bought from the iTunes Store, I'd use the AppleID you used for the purchases to set up the Home Share on both PCs.
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
If there's a lot of stuff in your original PC's library, the transfer may take some time.

How can i put songs onto my Itunes?

My IPod and IPad were synced to my home computer. Itunes was just erased from the computer. I just got a mac and authorized it, but it only transferred my purchases and I have a large amount of songs from cd's. I want to upgrade the software on my devices without losing my songs or documents. How can I do this?

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipod/ipad. The only exception is itunes purchases.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
