How can I change the year of an album in itunes11 without changing the years of all titles?

How can I change the year of an album in itunes11 without changing the years of all titles. For example: the reissues of an 1982 album has a 1995 bonus track, but I want it to be sorted as an '82 album? In earlier versions, when itunes sorted my album "by year", it took the year of the first title as the album's year (which makes a lot of sense). In itunes 11, however, the /highest/ year of any title in an album is taken to be the album's year. This upsets my entire catalogue. Can this be changed, will this be changed?

How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered.

How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered or they show 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.

Poor metadata needs to be corrected if the album is to display properly in iTunes. iTunes sees an "album" as any collection of tracks with the same Album title and the same Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist isn't set). Each track of the album should have distinct Track V of W and Disc X of Y vaules. W,X,Y are optional, but X may be needed for multi disc albums.

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.

When using just Apple TV, how can I change the Genre of a movie?

It's using iCloud and some of the movie genre's make no sense. For example, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark is listed as Horror, but Elvira's Haunted Hills is showing as Comedy.
I do realize that Elvira Movies are generally listed as Comedy/Horror on IMDB, and that's fine. However I'd prefer to have these movies listed together properly when looking at movies by Genre.
Additionally, The Lost Boys is listed as a Comedy where as it really should be a horror film. It's humor is secondary after all.
Is there a way for me to change, individually, my movies genre? I don't care if it affects anyone else or not, it just doesn't help me to have them so disjointed. This is only using Apple TV and the movies that stream directly from iTunes central database, not anything located on my personal devices (I can change those just fine locally and they will show up correctly if I just look at it via a computer connection.

How can I change the sequence of songs in my iTunes library and playlists?

I find that I cannot alter the sequence of songs iniTunes library, nor in 'My Playlist'.
Having dragged an item to place between two others, it goes back to where it was.
I am probably asking 'Help' the wrong question, but I cannot find the right answer.
I am sure the answer is very simple, but I would welcome the right answer.

That's the normal intended behaviour of the Library. I'm not exactly sure why it is, but I guess it's to make it clear to users that if they want to "fine tune" the tracks they should use a playlist (just like you can't use the burn button in the library).
I'm sure you've noticed that you can still sort the library by clicking the headings.

I can't change the names of my albums in Itunes

I recently bought a new computer and went through a very cumbersome process to move my Itunes library to the new computer. Can't even describe all the steps. Now my music is on the new computer and when i go into "get info" so that i can change the name of the album, I am locked out. The title is in gray and i get a message that software can't find my original.
If it matters, almost all of my albums were loaded from CDs and not purchase.
Can anyone help me learn how to change the names?
Thanks

OK I am puzzled.
If iTunes can't find a file it is shown with an exclamation mark next to the track.
If iTunes can't write to a track, either because it is read only or because of a permission problem, it is greyed out.
Your seem to have a peculiar combination - no exclamation marks but iTunes claims not to be able to find the track, if I understand your original post correctly.
May be we can cut through this by creating an new library. This will loose all counts rating and play lists, but you can put things back if you want after the experiment.
With iTunes closed, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml to your desktop.
Open itunes and an empty library is created. Use File>>Add folder to Library to add your iTunes Music folder. Can you edit tracks now?
(To put things back, with iTunes closed simply delete the newly created itl and xml files and drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml back into your iTunes folder from your desktop)

I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

I have a macbook pro 17". How can I change the way things look? The page only takes about half of the screen and the fonts are fairly small. I am sure there is an easy adjustment. Please clue me in. Thanks
