How do I change information in my Music Folder? Does it have to be done through iTunes?

Not all of the songs in my Music Folder are in my iTunes player. How do I change info about these songs (ie genre, Album name), in the Music Folder? Do I have to load them back onto iTunes to make the changes? Or is there a way to do this in the Finder?
Thanks!!

Do you want them in iTunes?
If so, iTunes menu File > Add to library and select /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Music/ folder.

How do I change the view in music on my iPad to the one show in setting up home sharing?
Thanks, first time user

Yes, I know what you are talking about. If you notice the date of that article in the upper left corner of the web page - March 2011 - what you see in that photo did apply in the Music App at that time.
The app was changed in the iOS 5 update, but the photo is the article was not updated. If you notice the heading at the top, it mentions iOS 4.3 and that was some time ago.
Many people - from what I have seen - really do not like the new look of the Music App. I am not in love with it. However, I don't use the Music App as much as many other iPad users, so I just live with it the way that it is and I hope that iOS 6 will bring further improvement.

I just subscribed to IHome but when it tries to gather information about my music library, I get an error message that my Itunes is not responding and then it shuts down. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC that uses an external storage device to a new PC (Windows 7) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with new iTunes 11. How do I do this?? What folder does iTunes use?

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11. How can I accomplish this successfully? What folder does iTunes use to store the data in? I've tried several things. Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered. It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer. This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

How Do You Change The Name Of A Folder?

I have a very simple, almost ashamed to ask, question. How do you change the name of a folder? As always, thanks in advance.

Howard,
Click (select ) the folder, hit the return key and start typing...
Before you start typing, you can go to the beginning, or the end of the title without deleting the title by using the back/forward arrow keys.

How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive

How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive or external hard drive?

The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.
Regards.

Hold an icon until they start to wiggle (like when you put them in the folder), open the folder by tapping it, and just tap on the name of the folder. Alternatively, you can do this from iTunes too.

Hey Lakedrive442,
It sounds like you have changed your Apple ID which you use with iTunes. If so there are several places you may need to update it as outlined in this article.

Of course some might not apply, but many might.
Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?

How can I change the default start up folder to be d:\work\ ?
It seems to be going to one default folder every time I open that I didn't suggest.
I'm using Bridge CS4
Thanks ahead
Line

If the program does not open the last folder you visited you most likely have the option enabled to autoload Bridge on Startup. Either disable that option in PS or shut Bridge down before you shut off the computer.

If you always want it to start on a specific folder you can leave it on autoload, go to folder you want it to start on then exit Bridge. It should load this each time in future. Many of us discourage the autoload option as it can lead to other problems as well.
