I cant edit my songs

hey, everything seems to be working fine in my itunes, but when i go to "get info" and try to change the given info all of the blocks are grey and i cannot select them. how can do i change the info?

You delete music that was synced to your phone from your computer by doing another sync. Deselect the songs you no longer want on your phone in the music section of iTunes on your computer befor you sync. To change the names of playlists, do this on your computer in iTunes and then sync your phone again selecting the new playlist.

I cant edit my song info anymore, anyone know how to fix?

i keep going into my windows explorer and switching it from read only but everytime i recheck it, read only has been reset.

When you say email content, do you mean that you can't see attachments or you don't get messages at all?
If you don't get any mail, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and define your email.
If you get mail but can't open attachments, beware that the iPad can open PDFs and some other attachments, but yu don't have MS Office apps on the iPad.

Cant edit songs on my iPhone because the music is part of a playlist?

I have a lot of music on my iTunes, so I induvidually selected the music I wanted and put it in a playlist in my iTunes. I transfered it to my iPhone and now I cant edit anything from it because its part of a playlist. When i open my iphone in itunes and go to the music, all of the checkmarks are grey and it wont allow me to edit or delete any of the songs or the music info. This is extremelly frusturating because it was working fine two days ago, and I could edit everything even know it was in a playlist. Yesterday my iTunes deleted every song on my iPhone, so when i re-synced it it wouldnt allow me to edit anything. I have been looking for a solution for hours and have found none. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way I can highlight just the songs in my desired playlist, but in my whole music library?

The playlist metadata may not have been transfered correctly and you may have to recreate the lists. Also, music ripped from your CDs may now appear as if from a different account or DRM protected and won't sync. You may have to re-rip them to your new iTunes library.

Cant edit song info

Im having trouble editing my song info. A problem i haven't had in the past. I just got a new computer today, but all of my media is on my external hard drive. On my old pc, i had no troubles editing song info off of these files. and now it seems to not be working. Every time i hit "get info" everything comes up grayed out. Ive checked the properties on the hard drive and its listed as "read only" when i uncheck it it applies all the attributes and turns the read only off. But for some reason it doesn't keep. I cant get read only to stay off. So unfortunately i am unable to edit any of my song info. Has anyone out there had this problem? If so any suggestions?
Compaq Other OS God damnit i hate vista...

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.

Why cant i edit the song titles?

I thought I had unlocked the songs but I cant find any way to edit the song titles in iTunes

Are they grayed out?
When they are greyed out, that usually means either itunes or your windows user ID doesn't have permission to change them.
Check windows 7 permissions on the entire itunes folder, and all its subfolders.
Take full control & ownership as explained in this webpage:
http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/windows-7-how-to-delete-files-protected-by-tru stedinstaller/
Don't worry about the article's title being about how to delete files. Getting the permissions right is the same process and this is a pretty easy explanation.
Restart itunes so it will read the new permissions, and see if you can edit the song titles.

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]

#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.

@ GARTH
I think that's I've (I have) rather than live.
@ p-rock
See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topics One album, too many covers and One artist, many names.
Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist may be relevant to your +certain "groups" or albums will not transfer unless placed in a specific playlist"+ issue. If not please provide more information on your symptoms.
It's also helpful to know if you are syncing your iPod to all/selected playlists or manually managing the content.

Trying to share library across 2 user, cant edit info on users though?

Ok, I have followed instructions to allow all users on my Mac to share the one iTunes music folder. I put the iTunes folder in the HD>Shared>Music folder.
I then added the library to the other use, and can see the music ok. However I click on get info to edit a song, and it wont let me change any info. I've checked the permission on the folder and it says user xx(me) has read and write access.
So why cant I edit it please?
Also this is what Im trying to do ultimately, add a song in either user and then who ever is logged on, can add a song and all users will see it in the iTunes library, also any changes (if I can get it too work!!) to the file info, album art etc, I want changed so all users get this update.
*update* just tried to add an album under my non admin account, and it said cant as dont have write access. But according to the info on the folder (click>get info) it shws (me) to have read and write access.
ive done a repair permissions if that was some issue, please please help
Please help, Im brand new to iMac (Xmas pressie) and always been a Windows user so be gentle!!
thanks

Hi Loc..
I share my music over 3 Macs..with 4 accounts on each, one for each member of the family..as long as all the itunes are open and they are all set to 'sharing' then everybody can see and play any music on any account on any mac, it shows up as 'shared music' in you itunes sidebar. If my son downloads or imports an album or a cd into his itunes then anyone can play it.
I've tried to keep all the music on the 20" dualcore which frees up memory on the G5 and ibook...it seams to work quite well.
Did a similar thing with iphoto and that works ok, only problem I have had with both setups is Leopards glitchy networking but i'm hoping that will settle down in time, it's still a bit new, I should have waited till 10.5.3 at least...but christmas got in the way..
Hope this helps

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999). So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them? This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
Then exit iTunes and open it up again. Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match). If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

Ipod icons shows up on itunes but i cant sync any songs.

there was a corruption with my ipod so i deleted all my songs till there was nothing left in my ipod and when i was done cleaning out my ipod i had to start from scratch updated the latest itunes 7.5 i think and even updated my pod.....the problem is that i ran diagnostics for ipod and the ports show that it connected and i myself see the ipod icon YET i cant sync any songs i have?? can someone please help me i need help and i need someone to give me the steps to fix this.

That is because you are in manual mode and there is no "sync" for manually managed iPods. YOU do the transfer by dragging and dropping songs onto the iPod and remove them by selecting them and deleting them from the iPod.
So if you dragged and dropped tunes from the iTunes library into the iPod list, then the songs should be on your iPod. Check and see.
