I'm running iTunes version 12.1.2.27. I can no longer change the name of a playlist. What do I need to do?

Rename playlist in iTunes 12.

Hi,
Do you mean that when you click on the playlist in the sidebar and click on it again to make it editable (light blue color) you cannot write in the new name?
Try Control click on the playlist and select Edit playlist and an edit box appears on the right. Click on the name box at the top and it should be writable.

  • Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click

    Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?

    The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1.  However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind.  Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways.  iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... .  Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
    track and disc number fields for video media kinds
    show and episode fields for music
    description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
    Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI.  There are couple of workarounds:
    in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
    you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
    It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
    One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners.  Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again.

  • Pages only offered a save version option and after closing I can no longer find the file

    After finishing my 21 page document, I exported to PDF changing the file name. Opened the file menu, noted that there was no save option only save a version and then closed the document, presuming the autosave would have worked as usual. I can now no longer find the file.
    Can I recover it? Have I done something wrong as I never have had this concern before.

    If I recall right you can always get Save or Save as by Press Option key when clicking on the File menu.
    The problem is that you can't find the file. i am not the right person to help you as i still rather use Snow Leopard then the newer MacOs versions.

    i have 64 bit windows 7- and itunes version 10.6.1.7. yet i cannot connect to the itunes store.  do i need to download something additional?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    My ipod touch 3rd generation OS  5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    If iTunes does not see the iPod:

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    You're welcome.
    Going back to your original post:
    5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

  • I'm learning iMovie (version 10.0.6) I can no longer see the menu at the left bottom side (the title, iTunes, garageband, etc.)  Did I hit a button to accidentally hide it or something?

    I'm learning iMovie (version 10.0.6), in OS Yosemite, I can no longer see the menu at the left bottom side (the title, iTunes, garageband, etc.)  Did I hit a button to accidentally hide it or something?  I imported my media and all of a sudden the menu was gone.  I closed it and reopened it.  Switched the screen view, still no menu.

    Thanks for replying dominic23.....but I don't see that button anywhere.  I did click a button that says "video and audio effects", and nothing happened.

  • I am running itunes 10.5.0.142 but I can't update to 10.5.2

    I am running itunes 10.5.0.142 but I can't update to 10.5.2.  My laptop is running Windows 7.  It asks me if I want to update to 10.5.2 and I say yes, but then nothing else happens.

    Let's try updating using an installer from the Apple Website:

    Does that go through any better, larry?

    Julie, there seems to be some snafu with the updater, so go here https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575 and get the download directly. That should do the trick.

  • Can no longer access the iTunes store.

    As of a few days ago I can no longer access the iTunes Store.  Keep getting the page that urges me to upgrade.
    I cannot not upgrade to the current version on my G5 Power PC.  Cannot access by using Search either.  I am running
    iTunes 7.5 because all newer versions required an upgrade of Quicktime which screwed up the performance of Final Cut Studio,
    which I can also not upgrade because I don't own an Intel Mac.  I am so tired of Apple not supporting their loyal customers
    who own older Macs, especially in these hard economic times.  Was considering the purchase of an iPhone, but not anymore. 
    If anyone knows of a work around to the iTunes problem I would appreciate an answer.  It not, then Goodbye Apple it was nice
    knowing you.

    This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
    1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
    2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
    3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
    4. download Safari (26 MB)
    5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
    6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
    7. take a long walk
    8. install security update and restart
    9. install Safari and restart
    And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store.  I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia.

  • Updated to 10.4.1 on Itunes and now can no longer access the actual Itunes store ...

    Now i have a bit more space, i can explain what is really properly wrong. The other day i updated my itunes to the 10.4.1 version and now can no longer access the Itunes store - whenever i try to do so i get the bar at the top gets to about half way then stops and nothing happens - on rare occasions however i am taken into a place that resembles the Itunes store but there is no detail and whenever i click on anything, NOTHING happens.
    Now on a SUPER RARE occasion i'll get a notice that the request was timed out?
    If ANYBODY can help me i'll be very grateful

    Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!"  You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
    The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3).  I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store.  My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5.  Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs.  I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store. 
    Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
    I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.
