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.

  • Updated to ios5 cant edit song info via itunes anymore

    Here's what's going on. I updated my OS on iPod Touch and when I did, all my content on it got deleted sans photos and contact info. Not too big of a deal but now when I drag songs from my music folder in windows and edit the song info in iTunes (i.e. changing Sade to Everything But The Girl) it does so in iTunes but the info isn't changed on my iPod. Any info would help and keep my hair in. Email [email protected]

    Problem Solved:
    #1) after you install iTunes and reboot as it tells you to you must start up the program then log out of the program
    #2) reboot 1 more time (this is redundant but you must do it to get your equalizer working and the ability to edit your song information).
    Everything is working correctly now.

  • Un able to edit song info in itunes 7

    I am currently organizing and fixing some errors in my itunes library and i'm having extreme difficulty editing song info.
    For example about half of my songs show up as blues in the genre category. So i've gone through and changed them to rock, electronic, etc. The info will change but when i double click on the track (play the track) it changes the info back to the previous settings. I went to itunes help which instructed me to uncheck "organize itunes library" in order to write the new info to the file. But this has not worked either. this is a very frustrating problem because GNDB has given some very wrong info about album names and and info and i can't reorganize it.
    Another example is a CD by Blockhead the album title is Music by Cavelight. Only 3 tracks have the correct album title the others are Blockhead Music by Cavelight, for some reason the artist name is included in the album title. When i correct the tracks that have the improper album name they do change untill the song is double clicked on, and then it resets to the previous name.
    Please help i am a DJ with lots of music and organization is KEY!

    Select one or more tracks, press CTRL-I to Get Info.
    Are the tracks in question in .wav format? No tags there, so nothing for iTunes to read other than the filename. I have a script that get more data provided iTunes hasn't "helpfully" rearranged them.

  • 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.

  • What is the easiest way to edit song info in iTunes?

    I had Windows Media Player as my default for ever on my computer. iTunes doesn't let you right-click to edit songs like WMP and I'm trying to get all my stuff off "Unknown album/title" etc. since for some reason when I imported everything it couldn't bring the names of tracks with it?

    Select one or more tracks, press CTRL-I to Get Info.

  • IPod losing space when editing song info in iTunes

    I originally posted this in the iPod forum, but I'm not sure if it is a Pod issue or an iTunes issue.
    Hi,
    Hopefully, this is going into the correct forum. I realize this is probably a very stupid question, but I have a 60 GB iPod Photo with over 9,000 songs on it.
    I just went through the painstaking task of correcting all of the song entries that iTunes screwed up when importing (spelling mistakes, things like that).
    After changing the info in iTunes, I plugged in the iPod in to update the songs (I auto-synch), and when waiting for the iPod to update, I noticed that the available space was decreasing at the same level as if these were brand new music files being loaded onto the pod.
    Since these songs already existed on the pod, I'm just wondering why I lost a bunch of space when all I did was change text associated with the file. After the update, I waited to see if the pod would recognize it and bump the available space back up, but it didn't...it's almost like there are now 2 versions of the file on the iPod (though only 1 shows) as it has taken the space away.
    Is this the way it works, or is there any way I can regain the space back that I had before this last update (taking in mind, that I didn't load any new music onto the iPod...I just changed some of the info).
    Many thanks for any help.

    Artwork was already on the original file. All I did was literally change either the name of the song title or the album title on the info tab. Artwork was already there from when I imported the songs originally.
    Makes sense that this would happen if iTunes thinks this is brand new file, but by losing the space, it appears to me that iTunes thinks there are two files, while the iPod only shows one.
    Thanks!

  • How do I transfer song info in iTunes Library back to mp3 files?

    1. some info of my songs in my itunes library is different from the info stored in the respective mp3 files
    2. I want the song info in the itunes library to be preserved
    3. but when I play a song in iTunes, iTunes would automatically obtain song info from the mp3 file and update iTunes Library.
    4. And I have many files like that
    Quesiton: Is there a way I could transfer the song info in my itunes library back into the mp3 files?
    thanks a lot if anyone has any idea!!

    The album, artist, etc information displayed in the iTunes library comes from the ID3 tags in the MP3 song files. If you change it in iTunes (using Get Info), iTunes updates the file. iTunes does not automatically change it.
    There may be other programs running that are changing it, e.g. the automatic setting in Windows Media Player.

  • How to update song info in iTune & IPOD after changes made in source drive?

    After I added songs to library in iTune and updated in IPOD, I notices some some information was not correct. How can I update the song information to iTunes & IPOD other than clicking each song one by one? In another words, is there a way to batch update the song information from the source drive (I have uploaded all my CDs and saved on my harddrive.
    Thank you.

    I understand that you use iTunes to sync, but somehow didn't use iTunes to delete the file. You will have to use the iTunes interface to delete the file. Go to iTunes/Books, highlight the book, and delete the file. The next time you sync,  you should not see the message.
    Respond in this thread with the results, so we know the problem is fixed or not.

  • Cannot edit song info in iTunes

    Under edit>>view options, iTunes has all of these categories that you can select. I can change in the information in the name, artist, album, and genre categories, but I can't edit information in the description or category columns. Is there a way to do this? (I tried looking under Get Info, but that doesn't work either.) I want to be able to have different descriptions or categories for songs in the same album, so the comment feature wasn't helpful either. I'm using Windows XP Home Edition 2002 and iTunes 6.

    Hi ladymahogany, welcome!
    Huh. I can't edit those 2 fields,either.
    Look for a 3rd party tag editor on downloads.com.
    I think "tag & rename" has had good reviews.

  • Can't edit song info in iTunes 8

    I just updated to iTunes 8. Everything was working fine in iTunes 7. Now, I can't edit some songs in my library. When I select 'Get Info', the information is grayed-out and not available for edit. Some songs that I recently added to my library using iTunes 7 can be edited, as well as songs that I added to the library in iTunes 8. I was thinking of trying to uninstall iTunes 8 and then re-install, but I didn't want to waste time if this was a known problem. I have fully administrator rights on my computer and I did not move the library location for the upgrade to version 8.

    My 'gat info problem: I
    Since updating to version 8:
    right click to 'get info' on single file is fine.
    But if I try to right click on a selection of files, I get a blank grey window, and a sort of weird truncated layout of SOME of the options normally available in those tabs down the right-hand corner of the big grey box. and they appear to be moving out of the frame of the window so some of them are only half visible. You can't get to them. Also if you move your mouse over it, I get a sort of "floating" OK button, - the only way to get out of the thing. Seems to be a serious graphical mess there. (hard to describe-I wish I could attach image file)
    Anybody else out there have anything like this?

  • Why can't i edit song info on iTunes

    I just installed itunes 9 on to my new computer. All my music/movies is on an external hard drive. After importing every thing i noticed i could not edit info for ANYTHING. The files are not read only and i've check the permissions and that is fine.

    Would you care to share it with the rest of us? It's driving me crazy that there are about 3 of the last 25 songs I added that I can't edit the artwork or anything for!

  • How do you edit song information on itunes lists?

    I cannot change the genre, or any other information that appears on my itunes list. I "Get Info" from the "Edit button, but it won't let me make changes. I did this last summer so I know it can be done. I have a new computer with VISTA, could this make a difference?

    Sometimes Windows will mark files read-only, such as when they've been moved around a network or taken off a disk. Read-only files can't be edited in iTunes. To see if your file is read-only, select it in iTunes and press Ctrl-R. Right-click the file, and choose Properties. Remove any checkmark next to read-only. This technique works on a whole group of files too, so you could quickly remove the checkmark from all your songs if you need to.

  • 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
