Issue when editing songs in "Get Info"

Hi there!
I've been having this issue for quite a while now. At first I was able to deal with it, but now it's getting pretty annoying.
My issue is the two options to go to the next song or previous song have dissappeared when I'm editing songs in the get info tab. I have made sure that I am editing songs in an album, but the problem is still happening.
The red circle is where the buttons usually are. I'm not sure if iTunes has taken these options away with the newer updates, or if I clicked something by mistake. If someone else had this problem and figured out how to fix it, it would be great if you could share how with me!
Thanks,
melongeee

The buttons should be there. As a workaround do Alt+P and Alt+N still perform the Previous and Next functions?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Why can't I change the content for some songs when I click the Get Info button?

ITunes 11.0.2.26 stops working when I try and Get Info

Hi, I've never asked a question here before, so bare with me if I give all the wrong information or something...
Recently, I'd been having trouble getting my iPod Touch 3rd gen 64 gb to sync with my iTunes Library. It would sync all my old music but any new music I added was completely ignored. In a last stich effort to fix this problem without having to resort to resetting my iTouch, I decided to update my itunes. I now have the iTunes version 11.0.2.26 and everything seemed to be working fine. My ipod syncs old and new music and all my information is still in tact.
However.
With this new version of iTunes, every single time I try and change a song's information via the "Get Info" button, iTunes suddenly stops working and closes before I've even been able to see the information. A Microsoft Windows window pops up and says,
"Itunes has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution
is available."
This is a screenshot of what pops up when I click and Get Info: http://25.media.tumblr.com/1d3334a0bf5f0a7308b28f4565ff02a6/tumblr_mit8vzNS1E1ro wvqao1_500.jpg
I have a Microsoft Windows Vista
ACPI x86-based PC, driver version: 6.0.6002.18005
465 GB capacity, with only 248 GB being used
As I said before I have a 64 GB Generation iTouch 3rd Gen, and a version 11.0.2.26 iTunes. Windows informs me that all of my drivers are up-to-date and there are no current updates available.
I've tried running my iTunes in safe mode and that didn't help, and I've also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling itunes. I really don't know what else to do other than try that "Create Another User and test" thing. I am really not that well-versed in computers and diagnostics, so I'm hopping I won't have to get elbows deep in the inner files of my iTunes to try and fish out some plug-in or another. Nothing else seems to be wrong. I can sync and add music and create playlists and purchase music. I just cannot edit Get Info without my iTunes crashing.
Should I try and download the old version of iTunes again and just reset my iTouch?

First I would try this
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Next remove the Apple software using the instruction above and install a previous version. You can Google to find the previous versions

"next" option missing when editing songs

When editing songs I've added from other sources or things I ripped years go, I used to have the option to edit one song, then press "Next" and that would allow me to edit the next song in the album, or list I was working on. In iTunes 11, the option seems to be missing. I now have to edit a song, press "OK", then click on the next track and select "Get Info". Is there a way to re-enable this option? Making managing my library very tedious.

Hi,
Try editing in song view. It works as before but does not work in album view.

New iTunes on Mac doesn't allow me anymore to select all songs and 'Get info' to adjust the volume, like the old one. It says"your selection contains more than one type of media". They are all songs! Help please!

Not true. Select "Kind" as a sort category by right clicking the headings
Then click to sort by Kind
If your Import Settings are for Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC or whatever the majority of your files are, convert MP3s to that file type.
I've presently got 17,000+ files in my library, and they're ALL MP3 or M4B(Audiobooks). If they weren't when I got them, I converted them. Saves a LOT of hassels with just this type of situation. Besides I have two non Apple MP3 players that WON'T work with other file types besides MP3 so, EVERYTHING I have has to be MP3.

Tab between fields when editing song information

iTunes 10.4 removed the ability to tab between fields when editing song information. Is there another shortcut now?

Yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Actually the Tab sequence was reversed in 10.4. I'm upset that it took me until Septeber 2011 to figure it out. For the longest time, probably every release of iTunes. The Tab sequence went (Source-->Tab-->Search Music box-->Tab-->Tracks List)
Now it's the reverse and it's so annoying. I have both Mac and Windows and was able to downgrade my Windows iTunes to 10.3.x (though I had to downgrade to a previous iTunes Library.itl file. I cannot downgrade my Mac iTunes b/c it's my main library and I'd lose historic data by restoring and old iTunes Library.itl file
I've written to Apple about this several times the past few weeks but they've yet to address this. The latest version is 10.5 and it hasn't been restored. I WISH Apple would RESTORE this feature to its ORIGINAL design!!!

Finder crashes when I attempt to "get info" on a file

Still having the problem; any suggestions for how to fix it? I've run Onyx, Tech Tool Pro and Disk Utility.

Making edits to iTunes 'get info'

I would like to know how I can go about making edits to my album info on the iMac (ie. genres, title, year, album art, etc) and they can actually stay permanently - when I do the edits - they stay for a bit and then a few days will go by and then they are back to the original settings - so, I ask, how do I make the changes in the 'get info' tab permanently

Yes, others are seeing this. Something in purchased media (I am pretty sure this has only happened with purchased media) is periodically checking back with the iTunes Store and resetting the tags in the iTunes library file but not in the actual media files (metadata are stored in both). I haven't seen a truly systematic diagnosis of the issue (I use an old iTunes and have no iTunes account so I can't test anything myself). There are temporary workarounds but tags will still revert after a time.
2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896#26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26193185#26193185
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26335620#26335620 - user ended up rebuilding iTunes library from scratch
Send feedback to Apple about this so they know it is an issue they need to investigate:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Don't expect an immediate solution but maybe the next time they update the software it may be resolved.

Audio playback issues when editing quick swipe comp folders.

My new Imac running ML 10.8.2 is having issues when I want to edit drums tracks that I have grouped together. I recorded the tracks before grouping them. After opening group settings and checking the 'editing (selection)' and 'phase locked audio boxes' I get a spinning beach ball for 10sec. I then expand my take folders to start editing and the computer performance becomes very sluggish and playback stutters and crackles, sometimes turning well recorded drum tracks into a non recognizable mush as various tracks are playing at once. It appears that when I group the tracks together prior to recording and check the necessary boxes that quick swipe editing works fine. When I open old projects on my new iMac that were recorded running Snow Leopard and my old MacBook Pro that use comp editing, it all works smoothly and I can continue editing no problems. So does this mean that these new tracks are somehow corrupted? How can I rescue them? I can't figure it out! I used to be able to set up groups and edit after recording raw on my old setup, surely this is some kind of bug caused from the upgrade to 10.2.8 and/or Logic 9.1.8? It's nothing to do with my Pro 40 interface I don't think as I unplug it and the problem is still audible through built in speakers. Might the recording be corrupt due to connecting Saffire pro 40 via a firewire 800 to thunderbolt adapter?
I've tried copying/pasting regions into a new project, the regions are all the same length, there are no plugins on the channel strips, the recordings sound fine until I try to edit them, sample rate is consistent (24/48). The main difference to making editing possible seems to be grouping prior to recording or not, which shouldn't make a difference should it? Anyone who can shed a little light on this situation, I will be forever appreciative to! I've got work that needs doing ASAP!
My setup is:
iMac, i7 3.1Ghz, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Mountain Lion 10.2.8
Logic Pro 9.1.8
Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 (connected to thunderbolt port via thunderbolt==>firewire 800 adapter)

Anyone?
This is serioulsy BS, it was all working fine before I went and upgraded everything and now it is worse than prior to upgrading. That's not how it's supposed to work.

Why can't I edit in the Get Info boxes?

I have just recently done a re and re on my laptop and gone to Windows 8. I have transfered over my music to iTunes, but now I can't edit any information in the Get Info boxes as they are all grayed out. Can someone help me with this, please?
Thanks

Performance Issues when editing large PDFs

We are using Adobe 9 and X Professional and are experiencing performance issues when attempting to edit large PDF files. (Windows 7 OS). When editing PDFs that are 200+ pages, we are seeing pregnated pauses (that feel like lockups), slow open times and slow to print issues.
Are there any tips or tricks with regard to working with these large documents that would improve performance?

You said "edit." If you are talking about actual editing, that should be done in the original and a new PDF created. Acrobat is not a very good editing tool and should only be used for minor, critical edits.
If you are talking about simply using the PDF, a lot depends on the structure of the PDF. If it is full of graphics, it will be slow. You can improve this performance by using the PDF Optimize to reduce graphic resolution and such. You may very likely have a bloated PDF that is causing the problem and optimizing the structure should help.
Be sure to work on a copy.

When I go to get info and start to type artist itunes freezes.

I've tried reloading itunes twice now, it still feezes. I've gone trhough the entire trouble shooting list for freeze ups, including system config, it still froze up. Is this a bug in the new version? Help!!!!!! I use get info all the time to do audio books so I can have them in itunes in a comprehendable order.

And what does this have to do with the iPhone?

IPod losing space when editing song info in iTunes

I originally posted this in the iPod forum, but I'm not sure if it is a Pod issue or an iTunes issue.
Hi,
Hopefully, this is going into the correct forum. I realize this is probably a very stupid question, but I have a 60 GB iPod Photo with over 9,000 songs on it.
I just went through the painstaking task of correcting all of the song entries that iTunes screwed up when importing (spelling mistakes, things like that).
After changing the info in iTunes, I plugged in the iPod in to update the songs (I auto-synch), and when waiting for the iPod to update, I noticed that the available space was decreasing at the same level as if these were brand new music files being loaded onto the pod.
Since these songs already existed on the pod, I'm just wondering why I lost a bunch of space when all I did was change text associated with the file. After the update, I waited to see if the pod would recognize it and bump the available space back up, but it didn't...it's almost like there are now 2 versions of the file on the iPod (though only 1 shows) as it has taken the space away.
Is this the way it works, or is there any way I can regain the space back that I had before this last update (taking in mind, that I didn't load any new music onto the iPod...I just changed some of the info).
Many thanks for any help.

Artwork was already on the original file. All I did was literally change either the name of the song title or the album title on the info tab. Artwork was already there from when I imported the songs originally.
Makes sense that this would happen if iTunes thinks this is brand new file, but by losing the space, it appears to me that iTunes thinks there are two files, while the iPod only shows one.
Thanks!

Premiere Pro CS3-CONSTANT Memory issues when editing/rendering/exporting

Alright, as said in the title I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and my issues are horrendous
No matter what, within 10 minutes of editing, Premiere will warn and then crash because of memory issues, starting with the message:
"Adobe Premiere Pro is running very low on system memory; please save your project and proceed with caution"
Also, whenever I try to export this project, within 800 frames of a 7000 frame project (currently), it displays the message:
"Error Compiling Movie", and then the previous message above if that hasn't already happened before
And eventually, the program will crash out of nowhere, with random windows errors
Here's my specs:
Intel i7 920 Processor
6 GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia 480 GTX
750 watt power supply
24" Dell Ultrasharp Monitor
Now, I've noticed that whenever Premiere is getting close to crashing, my RAM gets up to around 4.7 GB being used, and then it crashes.
I have already gone into Edit-Preferences and tried switching from Performance to Memory; that hasn't fixed anything
I noticed that when I was just running my video over and over again, it stayed stable at 4 GB or so, so maybe its a rendering issue?
I have already tried lowering my number of processes running at any given time, including my antivirus program (Kaspersky) and even explorer, but it still crashes no matter what.
========================================================================================== ========
This is a SERIOUS issue for me, as even with all the normal crashes I could finish the video; but now I cannot even export my video at ALL without it crashing, and I have a plenty strong-enough computer to handle this, so what gives?
Please help

Ok, well this has been getting me nowhere
I tried importing (both my CTRL-X method, and literally importing the project), and now the program won't even RENDER the footage, it just errors out at 800 frames (just like exporting)
What is going on???
I used to use Premiere Pro 2.0 all the time, on a separate computer, but I have 6 GB of RAM, is this really impossible???
EDIT:
And now, even after finally getting it to render (by saving after rendering before what crashed, and then starting it up and rendering again), all my footage looks like crap XP

Audio issues when editing video clips

Sorry if this been asked before and I’m having trouble looking for the answers on my own. I will start by saying that I have the latest built of Premiere and that’s CS4.2
I’m trying to edit 720 60p clips natively from my Panasonic GH1 camcorder and I have it set to interpret footage to 29.97 for slow motion. Its edits very well but sometimes when I use the razor tool to split a file, the second part of that clip will no longer play the audio. I even noticed a clip that had the audio missing half way when I didn’t even use the razor tool. Another time it was several clips in a row that was missing the audio.
This isn’t the first time. I was trying to edits clips on standard speed and I noticed that one of the clips couldn’t play the audio. I ended up saving everything and restart Premiere and luckily the audio was their. This time, with the slow motion clips, restarting Premiere is no help at all. I could start over on a fresh time line but I want to see if theirs any other solutions first.
I hope I was clear enough.

This is a shameless bump to get someone to attempt to give me an idea what to do... or even tell me a better way to copy DVD that I own onto an IPod
