Info for new song

I just put a new song into my itunes and when I go to the get info tab to put in the info for the song, it won't let me do anything. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Grant

It could be that this new song is 'read only'.
Where did you get/buy that song from?.
What file format is it?.
It could also be DRM protected, and so on.

I want to set up 5 different ipods to sync from one library, but want to be able to control what is synced to each ipod and have it remember that for future synching and just look for new songs and not sync all the other music in the library

I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows. This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10. Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs. Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

ITunes randomly loses the location info for my songs. How can I stop this and how can I get everything linked back to itunes easily?

Hi Frantic503,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar.
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Have a great day,

The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

Updating info for multiple songs at the same time?

Is there a way to highlight multiple songs and change info for the songs at the same time without having to do it for each individual song? Example: changing the album or the genre for a batch of songs?
Thanks.

Michael,
You can shift-click to make a continuous selection or command-shift to make a discontinuous selection.
Then choose Get Info from the file menu.

Can I have iTunes find my missing info for my songs and albums that are already on my computer?

I have missing info on a lot of my songs and the albums I had put them on by CD awhile ago without internet and I cant redo them because I dont have the CDs anymore. Can I have iTunes find the info for them?

Google "TuneUp" it should be the first result. TuneUp is a paid application though, there's another application called MusicBraiz which is free, but this one is a little complicated I think. Hope that helps

Ability to Edit info for multiple Songs seems missing in iTunes 12

From a review of this forum, it appears that iTunes 12 no longer permits editing of certain fields for multiple songs.
Formerly, one could select any group of songs and, via using Get Info, edit virtually any field for all songs at the same time.
In iTunes 12 this ability seems missing for certain fields.
Am I missing something or is this highly useful feature now gone?
I can't seem to get a clear picture of this from current forum posts.
Thanks for any comments.

marked as solving problem.
did not mean to do that as use of 3rd party scripts should not be necessary for such a core function in itunes
apple need to restore that basic feature. I will submit a request to them directly.

I can't change the info for my songs on the new iTunes

Ever since I updated to the new iTunes, I have been having issues changing some of the information for some of my songs and albums. I checked the file location to see if the "read only" box was checked, and it was not. How can I fix this? Anyone else having this issue?

Sometimes logging out of iTunes can free up the editing.
Do you use iTunes Match?

"more info" in Get Info showing "--" instead of actual infos for newer videos and images

I've just noticed that when I click on "Get Info" on my newer pictures and videos, the "more info" section is now showing "--" instead of the dimensions of the images and videos. However when I go to my older files, the info is showing. Also if I search any of the newer files (those with the missing info) in Spotlight, it doesn't show up. I've done some research and some people suggest reindexing Spotlight, but that never worked for me. In fact, even if I exclude a folder in my Privacy list, it's still showing as a result when I search them. I'm sure this is a problem with Spotlight as it stores the dimensions info, but since reindexing it is not a solution, can it be solved in some other way?

It takes time on newer things, but might have to be opened first or something.
If you want, you can clear the caches with OnyX (#12) and that would rebuild and repair the entire sub-system.

Resource Info for new Digital Video Camera.

Hello.
Can anyone suggest a good resouce/magazine/website to research digital video cameras?
I have used the same Sony DCR TRV120 for the past nine years. It ran out of steam. Mostly used it for family, nature and even spots for a local hokie TV station. Time for a new camera to use with FCE. And I have no clue where to begin researching.
Thank you.

Well l will ask this another way.
I'm in the market for a prosumer camera.
I want to video both SD (NTSC) and HDV.
If I went with a camera that _did not record_ in NTSC but rather 1080i or whatever, would it be possible to convert the video to NTSC in FCE? I do lots of family videos etc. Not everyone has an HDTV & widescreen at this time.

Automatic search for new songs on harddrive

I have other mp3 songs on my computer that are not in my i tunes library, i want to add about 300 other songs but the only way i have found that i can do that is to add the songs 3 at a time. how can i make itunes search for existing mp3s on my hard drive like it did when i first installed itunes

The Finder can do this for you.
Just open a Finder window and hit Command-F
Then, in the search bar set the 'Kind' to 'Movie'.
Done. It'll find all the movie files on your disk which you can then organize as you see fit.

Why can't I change song info for a song I have downloaded from i-tunes in i-tunes 11?

I bought it, it should be mine to change the name of it if I please. I like to keep single songs together in album made up of my creation and apple have taken that away from me.

I have the same problem. When I click "Get info", everything is grayed out and I'm unable to change track names, artist names, album names, or anything at all. I have iTunes Match if that matters.
What's going on?

Incorrect artist name for all songs by that artist

Recently something weird has happened to my music library on my iPhone 5S (iOS 8.2 before, but I've updated to 8.3 and still the issue persists). All the songs by a particular artist have the artist name listed wrongly. For example, I have about 50 Katy Perry songs from her 3 albums, and all of them are listed as "Katy Perry & Snoop Dogg", which is, by the way, the artist name for ONLY California Gurls. Funny thing is, the artist names display correctly on iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I've checked the info for the songs, and the names are correct under both Details and Sorting. This happens for a few other artists as well.
I've tried deleting the songs from my iPhone and re-syncing them back, still the same. I've tried changing the artist, album artist info for the songs, doesn't help. I've even re-synced my entire music library to my iPhone but that didn't work either.
Probably a bug but is there a workaround or a fix for this?

UPDATE!!!
Turns out that deleting glitchy albums from the phone and then re-syncing via Home computer's iTunes worked!
It just takes a bit longer to change over to the proper artist names!!!
YAYY!!!!
So deleting music from iPhone Music Library and then going into your home iTunes Library and re-syncing/adding it to your iphone or device while it is plugged in via USB!
