How do I manually change the genre or track name

I'm new here, so forgive me if this is easily done. I would like to know how to manually change a song's track name, or genre in iTunes. If i feel like a song is more appropriately labeled "pop" vs "rock" can I change the label? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, i'd like to be able to do the same with track names. Thanks.

Right click on the track you want to change. Choose Get Info and then the Info Tab. You can change the song name, artist, genre etc. in there.
You can also update multiple items, however beforehand you sort your tracks into the order you want, say for instance by Artist. Click on the first track you want to change, hold down the shift key and click on the last you want to change and all the tracks in between will be selected. After that it's right click etc as above.
You'll get a lot more on using iTunes here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/tunes/ Lesson two includes changing track information.

  • How can I manually change the height of the "Type ...

    Hi all
    Just got automatically installed the latest 6.22 version of skype few minutes ago and I got a few questions. 
    First and foremost, how can I MANUALLY change the height of the textbox, where I type the messages. I would like to make it larger, like in the previous versions of skype. I don't want to move my mouse cursor through the entire monitor to reach this tiny textbox.
    And second, why you guys are trying constanly to ruin something that is working perfectly ? Going to revert to the previous version until you fix all these nuisances.
    Regards

    There is no way to do this, it is designed to be strictly landscape with keyboard, portrait without - not the best thought-out phone on the market, mainly geared towards compulsive texters and e-mailers.
    There's no way to know whetherNokia will change this with any future updates, perhaps you should make the recommendation to them directly using the 'contact us' link.

  • How do I manually arrage the genres

    iTunes is organizing my music into genres I am not happy with.  I would like to manually rearrange the music into Genres I believe they belong in. How do I do it?

    You can change the Genres by selecting them in the column view. If you want to change multiple selections all at ones, do a Get Info on the selections and make the change there.

  • How to ... change the default for "patch name" when doing the assemlby?

    Hi all,
    how to change the default settings for the "patch name" in the assembly step?
    By default the name will be set to <trackID>.<timestamp> and I would like to have something else ...
    Best regards
    and thanks for any help
    Michael

    I don't think you can - there's nothing in the documentation indicating how you can change the default.  I wouldn't be surprised if there was a configuration file somewhere that contained an assembly name template, but altering it (assuming it exists) would certainly be at your own risk.
    You could always open an OSS note against BC-CTS-CMS and ask.

  • How do I manually change the song length?

    After finishing recording a song, I have some blank space at the end (about 10 bars) where there's no content on any of the tracks. Just empty bars. How can I reduce the song length to get rid of those unused bars?

    As far as I can see it the only way to do this is to create a new song section of automatic length and then copy all of the parts in from the previous section one by one. The section will grow to accomodate the largest of the parts. Once complete you can delete the previous section.
    Not very elegant.

  • How do I manually change the order of songs in a playlist?

    What am I missing?

    Assuming that you are using the View/As List to look at your Playlist, click on the top of the number column on the left side, so that the songs are in the order they were placed into the list (and there will now be an arrow at the top of that column). Now simply drag songs to the point in the list where you want them.
    If the Playlist was in the order of Last played for instance, then you simply cannot drag songs around in the list because it would go against the "last played" order.

  • Why can't I change the genre on the new iTunes

    I wish to change the genre of a song on the new iTunes.  I right click on the song go to details, write in the genre and then click on OK and yet nothing changes.  So how can I effectively change the genre of a song?

    I found out that in order to have iTunes accept changes, I must first go into Windows Explorer to the music file under properties, in the General tab, then uncheck in Attributes the read only box. Then iTunes accepts the changes.
    Thank you and have a great day!

  • ITunes 11 - how can I change the genre of a movie now?

    So I've had iTunes 11 for about 3 hours now and so far it *****.  One of my main problems is I can't find how I can change the genre of a movie anymore.  I used to do this from Get Info so I could organise all my movies in to my own genres that make sense to me which helps me find what I want to watch when using Apple TV.
    It will still let me do that for movies I bought before I "upgraded" to 11 but for the movies I bought this evening, after upgrading, the genre drop down is locked down.
    Am I just looking in the wrong place?  Or have Apple somehow got the idea that pointlessly preventing your customers from organising their content in their own way is somehow an improvement and I'm stuck with their nonsensical genre classifications?
    Same thing goes for movie titles now I think of it - I've edited movie titles after purchase (e.g. I've put HP1 in front of the title of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and HP2 in front of Chamber of Secrets) so that series list in watching order, rather than alphabetical order, on my Apple TV.  It's not letting me do that from Get Info either
    Please someone tell me I'm just doing it wrong - I don't think I've the patience to jump through the hoops necessary to get 10.7 back!

    I had the same bug in songs. It was directly related to tracks purchased in the iTunes store, they wouldn't allow any changes, it was all grayed out.
    Here's how I got around it. When I selected more than one item and any other item was not from the iTunes store it would allow me to Get Info and change everything with no problems.
    My suggestion is that if you need to, add in a movie from your hard drive (anything at all, it will be a dummy placeholder) that you can you use to select along with the one you need to change. Use command click to select non-contiguous files (even works in different genres), then get info (or command i) and then change your info. You can keep using the same dummy file for as long as you need to to fix the files with incorrect info, then delete it when done.

  • How to manually change the thumbnail images of the new tab page (without using addons)?

    I wanted to customize the images displayed on the thumbnails on the New Tab Page. I tried using the addon "New Tab Tools" to do so and it worked, for a while. Now a bug seems to have affected it (it is not displaying any thumbnails, so I uninstalled it). So I want to try another approach. I want to MANUALLY change the images for each of the thumbnail on the new tab page (of course, the thumbnails are 'pinned').
    (I read some other articles related to thumbnails, specifically about DELETING them, and it asked me to open the Firefox Profile Folder, and in there, delete the thumbnails folder. I thought I could simply change the images stored in it instead of deleting them, but there is NO thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder (I accessed the profile folder thru the troubleshooting information section in the help menu). So where is this thumbnails folder after all?)
    So, how can I do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I note you are using Icedragon 26. Not sure I have come across that before.
    I guess they provide their own support, as they are apparently offering something based on an outdated and unsupported Firefox26. I see their forum has threads on Icedragon if you search for them, but at a quick glance I see no specific topic

    You could always install an official and up to date Firefox 29
    * See [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
    * Download from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    You may note the New Tabs page may be subject to a few changes over coming versions of Firefox it is apparently being improved. Firefox itself as Fx29 is also slightly changed from Fx26

  • I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4?

    I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4? I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

  • How to change the genre?

    I have some 1,000 songs, which have a wrong genre. Is there a easy way to change the genre for these songs or do I have to do it manually, 1000 times?

    Highlight all the songs you want to change the Genre on, then do a Get Info. Place your cursor in the Genre field and type the Genre you want. Click OK.

    There must be an easier way to change the Genre of an album without doing it one by one for each song??

    Sorry, one more thing, is there a quicker way to highlight all of the songs in an album other than by pressing "command" and selecting the songs individually? (yep...typical windows user!)
