How come I can't add lyrics to some music?

For some reason I can't add lyrics to some music files.  The lyrics tab is gray'ed out.  What gives?

Select such a song in iTunes then select File > Show in Finder. In the Finder, select File > Get Info.
Under "General", what is its "Kind"?
At the bottom of the Get Info window, under "Sharing & Permissions" does it say "You can read and write"?

  • How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

    How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
    You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

    I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
    After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
    OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
    Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
    OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file.   This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
    Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
    There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings.  Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus.   That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
    Good luck!  The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

  • How come I can't swipe some of the purchased songs I have to delete them? I could on some but others I can't. Help?

    I used to just be able to swipe left on a song I have in my Music library and delete a song if I didn't want it straight from my iPhone. How come I can't do that to some of the purchased songs I have?

    Hello there, dleaupepe28.
    You are correct on the fact that you can delete a song directly from your iPhone by swiping from right to left over the song:
    Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete.
    iPhone User Guide - Music
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    If the song was purchased from the iTunes Store and has a cloud icon to the right of it, it is being streamed from iTunes in the Cloud and not actually on your device.  You can hide the song by accessing the iTunes Store on the computer:
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    You will need to quit and relaunch the Music app on your iPhone after hiding the purchase on your computer before seeing the changes. 
    Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

    How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

  • How come I can't access itunes when I could  yesterday?

    How come I can't access itunes when i could yesterday?  When I hooked up my iphone to sync it asked me to reset phone to factory settings!  I don't think so!  Then when I tried to download update it won't do it.

    On my iPod touch I don't have a spotlight search icon or option available. Also under my settings and general there is no "restriction" options or settings. I reset the iPod several times and that doesn't work.
    The thing is the music that is on my iPod is not all in my iTunes library so I can never sync automatically. Also if i restore to factory settings then it will erase what i have on my iPod and not in my library. I always manually add songs. When I plug in my iPod and i go under Summary...the only other tabs are music, tv shows, photos and info. There is no Apps tab. When i plug in my iPhone i do get the apps tab.
    I got my iTouch awhile ago....is it possible that this is why i can't get apps?? I got the iTouch back in 2008.
    Ughhh this is so frustrating. I just want to get this one app on my iPod Touch. Please help!!

  • I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

    I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

    I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-20-inch-sp ecs.html
    (You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)

  • How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.

  • How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

  • HT2404 I just clicked on Software Updates; BUT nothing shows what's happening? How come I can't see the updates & time it will take?

    Help!  I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
    I went to the Apple icon, but  "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
    Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
    What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
    How do I know IF they have been installed?  Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
    How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
    - I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
    Thanks to any who can help
    PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?
