I just purchased a few songs from Itunes and could not edit the information in the Get Info section of the file. It's greyed out. Any ideas? Has ITunes changed and no longer allows editing.

Has ITunes changed its editing feature for songs, etc.? I just purchased a few songs and found that I could not edit them using the "Get Info" feature. The information is greyed out and does not allow editing. Among other things, I usually like to eliminate the word "THE" from group names for easier alphabetizing in my library. Thanks for any help.

Check permissions and ownership of the files. Maybe this helps....

I have all my songs in my iTunes library on the computer, but when I press the button to sync it, it doesn't put the songs on my iPhone. I have songs from my iPod on here too. How do I get it to put the songs on my iPhone?

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

TS1717 i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes: they will not play in my windows media center even though i have added them to that location. any idea what other trouble shooting i can attempt on this issue??

i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes and they will not play in my windows media center. i have never had this problem but the two tracks play on my PC just not in the windows media center and usually all my itunes music plays in there no problem??? any idea what to do? thanks

I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

You need to contact Apple Customer Service about purchasing replacement discs for the computer. You have posted in the PPC forum, so I assume you do not have an Intel Mac, but since you haven't stated what you have we simply don't know enough to assist you.

"The iTunes server could not be connected..." How do I install the new version of itunes now?

Every time I try to check for updates I get this message across my screen.
"The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “ax.itunes.apple.com”, which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway?"
After which it informs me the user could not be connected.
I need to update so I can sync my phone that just got replaced. Is there any way to do this?

Why is Docs to go allowed to be sold as being able to function on IPAD3. The columns were blleding into the next column header and could not be accessed. Going into one cell gave me the forumula 4 cells down. Absolute rubbish. Moved to Quick Office PRO HD

I purchased Docs to GO Premium as it was suppose to work on IPAD 3. On loading a spreadsheet the columns under the header columns (ABC etc) started to blled into the next column. It does not work on IPad 3.
I swithced to Quick Office Pro HD. Absolutely fantastic App. I would love to get my money back for Docs to Go Prem (Rubbish)

How prevent shuffle autosync; keep contents and just add a few songs

My wife is very frustrated with her first-generation shuffle.
Problem 1: She often just wants to charge it on the iMac without changing its contents. Is there any other way than configuring iTunes not to come up when she plugs it in?
Problem 2: She often wants to leave the shuffle's current contents in place and just add a few songs from various folders, but the shuffle starts syncing/autofilling automatically. The Help says you can add songs manually in addition to or INSTEAD OF autofilling, but I cannot find how to prevent the autofill, and the fact that there is a button for autofill implies it can be a manual operation.
Does anyone know how to prevent the automatic syncing/filling?
My advice to her was to create a "Current iPod" folder, specify that as the folder for autofilling, and drag the songs into that folder, but she thinks that is clumsy, and wants to drag directly to her iPod without having it automatically sync or fill. Does anyone have any better suggestions?
Thanks!

You can set it to manually manage your music in the Summary page and manually drag songs to it. Be sure to click Apply after you select it. Be sure you do not delete songs from your iTunes library or it will delete them from the Shuffle when you connect it.

HT201272 I don't have much luck in working with itunes. I have had three iphones and now have an iphone 4G. I have purchased almost 200 songs from itunes and most of them have showed up on my new phone. my problem is I like it synced to my nike running

I have had an iphone 4g for about six months. I had purchased around 250 songs from itunes on my previous iphone. When I got the new phone and synced with my nike running, most of the songs transferred. Most of them are in my store but are listed 2-3 times. some of them are in bold print, others in light print. When i'm running, the songs skipped over and only play the ones in dark. I have no idea what to do to get all of the songs backk that I bought. Jessica14

Hi ozzie329,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest you transfer your iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the computer first.
Then in your iTunes library on the computer, find and remove the duplicates.
Then resync to your Nike.
Here are a few articles to help you do this ...
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

HT203167 Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or on my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this?

Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this? I've tried all the suggestions, and it's hugely frustrating.

If you are in the UK, and the film studio allows re-downloading, and you are signed in with the same account that you bought them with, then they might show under the Purchased link under Quinklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading - if they don't show then check to see if they are hidden (hiding and unhiding).
But you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup of your downloads and noy rely on being able to re-download any item as they are occasionally removed from the store by the content provider (film studio, tv company, record company etc).

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

I can no longer edit song and album information in iTunes. I right click on the album, the window opens with "get info", "rating", etc., but none of it operates. What did I change to make it stop working?

I can no longer edit album or song information in iTunes. I right-click on the album (or song), and the window opens with "get info", "rating", etc., but none of it operates. It won't get or save album art, anything. What have I changed to make it all stop working?

You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

I just purchased a few songs from Itunes and could not edit the information in the Get Info section of the file. It's greyed out. Any ideas? Has ITunes changed and no longer allows editing.
