In I Tunes can´t change my song´s ratings

I recently changed Mac Books and with my new one can´t change my song´s ratings, please let me know what to do.

Do you own the songs? In other words, have you signed in to iTunes using the same Apple ID and password you used in the previous MacBook?

If the song is indicating a "Kind" of "Protected AAC," that is not a setting. It is an indication that the file contains Digital Rights Management (DRM). DRM cannot be removed through normal conversion processes.

I tunes can't find original song files of all my songs. How do I fix this?

Itunes stores ripped cds in the 'itunes' folder called 'itunes music' which under normal installation should reside into your 'My music' folder. Your music folders on the DVD then have to be copied into the 'Itunes music' folder for itunes to find it.
The tracks with the exclamation marks have registered with the incorrect location into the library. You can do two things:
Either search in the folder where you copied them from the DVD at the earlier step described above which means that you will have to do this for every single track, or the fastest way, delete all the incorrect entries and re-import by drag and drop into library the folders with the music you want to show in the library.

Do you still have your Aperture Slideshow project? Then open the slideshow and select the one of the green audio file clips in the film strip that you want to replace. Press the "delete" key and drag another audio file from the Media Browser directly onto the slide, where the sound should start.

Can't change new song settings/names/anything

I've recently put some new songs into itunes from different CDs. As opposed to the other songs I have on there, I can't change anything about the songs - the names, artists, can't change the volume settings (which is the biggest hassle).
what's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This hapened to me once.
What I did was burn the song onto another CD and then import the cd into Itunes.
It fixed the problem.

I have an iPhone 5 and when I'm playing music I can't change the song or start and pause on any of the shortcuts, what can I do ?

When I'm playing music and am on other things and swipe the shortcuts up, I am in able to change the song or pause and play, the same thing happens when I have locked my phone.
I have to keep unlocking my phone and going into my music to change the song, this is very frustrating!
I've gone onto settings but I am unable to find anything that will change this?
What can I do?!

I never use than switch and I had forgotten it existed but yes that was the problem.
Thank you I would have gone nuts. As they say there is no fool like an old fool.
Thanks again.

Defrag my hard drive on my iMac now I tunes can't find my songs in the iTunes library

I defraged my hard drive now iTunes can't find the songs in the library. Not connected to the cloud yet. Any suggestions on getting iTunes to find the master copy of the songs so I can play them on my iMacs. I have the same songs on my I pad but I don't know of any way of transferring my music from my iPod to the iTunes library on my iMac. Any thoughts.

Same problem here. In my case I suspect due to having been cleaning out duplicate music files when hard disk was filling at an alarming rate (as I watched.) No longer doing that but my cleanup must have moved essential elements and files.
Anyone know how to get my purchased stuff, showing as purchased but with exclamation mark, back into itunes again?

Can't change/upload songs on my mini.

What's up guys.
Here's my problem; about a week or so ago I noticed that everytime I uploaded a new song to my mini or tried to change around a playlist or delete some songs, once I unplugged it from my computer and used it, no change I made was being saved. I noticed that everytime I tried to do something in iTunes, I'm gettin this message:
iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\Temp File 9 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
I have no idea what that means, but I searched my comp for chkdsk, ran it, and still nothing happened. I haven't been able to put any new music to my iPod, and since I bought this over a year ago, CC can't do anything for me.
I also tried un-installing both my Ipod and iTunes, and re-installing it from my disc - nothing. Un-installed everything again, downloaded the latest iTunes from apple.com - nothing. Still same message. I'm stumped.
Anyone have any idea how to help me out? Thanks a bunch!

How can I change my songs name on ITunes?

How can I change the song's order on my iPod Classic?

I mean, now songs are stored by alphabetic order or number (in Album). I would like change this order, for ex. by stars, like in iTunes.
I have an 6.5 generation iPod Classic, with my previous iPod 5.5 if i changed the order in iTunes also in my iPod songs were displayed in that order.
Is there any funcion to do that?

Yuo can create a playlist with your desired sort order, right-click on the playlist name and click Copy to Play Order, then sync it to the device. You can play that list in your order, but everywhere else the tracks will play in track number order or alphabetical order depending upon which menu path you used to choose them.

Can I Change Album Song Order Without Making a Playlist?

Some albums get reissued in a different order than I am used to. To reorder the songs, I have been making a playlist and dragging the songs over in the order I want them. But--this feels like many extra steps. Can you just import the cd, and then reorder the songs in iTunes? If so, how? Thanks!

I think I solved it, actually. I clicked on the title of a song, and the whole line was highlighted; I then dragged it into the position I wanted, dropped it, and it stuck. Kind of reminded me of re-arranging my favorites list. It was pretty easy once I figured it out.

Can you change the song order in iTunes?

I imported an album from my hard drive to iTunes but the songs are showing up out of order and I don't want to import the live album to my iPod in the wrong order. I've checked the info on all of the tracks and everything is correct.
How do I get the songs back into their proper order before importing to my iPod?

I imported an album from my hard drive to iTunes
but
the songs are showing up out of order and I don't
want to import the live album to my iPod in the
wrong
order. I've checked the info on all of the tracks
and everything is correct.
How do I get the songs back into their proper
order
before importing to my iPod?
This is what I would do. Enter the album name in the
search bar in iTunes. Once all the tracks show up
and if they are still out of order, click the Album
tab and that should put them in proper order. Then
once that is done, hook up your iPod, select all
album tracks, and then drag to your iPod. That
should solve your problem. Let me know if this works
or does not work.
I actually was able to solve this myself. I highlighted all of the songs, and went to get info. I then made sure they were all of the same album (they were when I imported them). Once I entered the album name in the required field, the songs snapped into their original order (which is crucial when listening to a live album!).
Thanks for your help though.

How can I change the song order when burning a CD?

I'm trying to burn about 20 songs to a CD. However they are in alphabetical order in the burn folder which I don't want. I want then in the original order they were performed. How do I re-order them before burning?
A related question: eventually I will add them to iTunes and I'll want to add info such as the artist's name, album name, etc (these were recorded live by me so they're "blank" audio files). Is there a way to add this info prior to importing into iTunes so I don't have to manually add the same info to each track?
Thanks in advance!

Here's what I ended up doing:
I took the blank songs and added them one-by-one as WAV files into iTunes. Then I modified the "get info" summaries and added the artist name and album name to each. But now I had these huge WAV files... too large to burn back to my iPod. So I created a playlist in iTunes for the 20 songs and then burned them to a CD. Then I deleted the songs from iTunes, then re-imported them from the CD.
Kind of convoluted, but it worked and didn't really take THAT long. I now have the songs on my iPod with all the artist info and a backup CD with the same info and as WAV files.

I-tunes can't find songs in library on new external hard-drive

My Western Electric hard-drive died and I purchased a new Seagate external drive. I moved my I-tunes music library with all my songs to the new drive and changed the location of my library in I-tunes. When I open I-tunes it can't find any of my songs. There is an ! in front of every one. The locaction of the music folder is set correctly in I-tunes and the songs are all still there. I can individually locate the songs and they play fine but this isn't practical for a 10,000 song library. I think the problem has something to do with the auto-backup software that came with the Seagate. It creates a series of directories and hidden files when doing a back-up. I can't sync my I-pod because I'll lose my whole libarary since I-tunes can't find the songs. Help.

All of my several thousand mp3s are on an external HD, and i-tunes just comes up with an exclamation mark next to each of the tunes saying it can't find the original file.
Have these always been on the external and they were previously working?
I've changed the i-tunes music location to my external HD (F drive) in preferences
If you moved the music yourself, this will simply tell iTunes to use that location for anything in the future. It will still look for everything in iTune in teh location it was at before.
and consolidated the library,
Consolidating will copy everything in iTunes to the location you set in iTunes prefs -> Advanced - iTunes music folder location.
If you moved all the music from that location then consolidated, there is nothing to move, since iTunes will be looking for music in the original location.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get i-tunes to relocate all of my music files
Let iTunes relocate them. You do not relocate them.
Do this...
Quit iTunes.
Move all the music back to the original location. Don't leave the music there as iTunes will simply duplicate it at that location when you consolidate.
Open iTunes.
Make sure iTunes prefs -> Advanced is set to the external where you want it.
Then File -> Libary -> Consolidate.
