Issue with 'Get Info'

I have just transferred all of my music including my itunes folder over to an external hardrive.
I can add it, play it and sync it all without any problems, but when i tried to access the info on every track it comes up shaded, exactly like it doees when the track's location can't be found, even though it works perfectly.
I have tried almost everything that i can think of and am now at a complete loss..is this because i have moved everything?

I have a similar issue. I have a brand-new ipod. I'm running the current version of iTunes on a laptop running XP. I'm able to change the "get info" song data on SOME tracks, but not others. The most baffling thing to me is that is seems I can change song data ONCE... and then it becomes "greyed out" and off-limits. What gives?
It's a truly infuriating problem. It's really enough to make me consider scrapping iTunes altogether for file management. What's the point if I have no control over my metadata?
My iTunes folder (and sub-folders) show a partially-checked "read only" box in their preferences. I can force this to be "wide open"... but then it goes right back to partial status. (the individual problem music files themselves are all unchecked for "read only"--I verified that they start that way, they stay that way.)
I tried temporarily force-unlocking the album folder as you did, then--when I STILL couldn't change the song data, I copied it within iTunes with "convert to AAC" (which is weird, because it already WAS in AAC, supposedly). I could then edit the "get info" data on the new copy. Upon reopening iTunes, the new copy remains editable, while the old copy remained uneditable. It was, however, delete-able, and I scrapped the track post-haste.
So.. that worked. ...But what a horrible work-around!
It seems to me that iTunes is preventing me from changing downloaded metadata (at least more than once) even though the tracks are all ripped from my CD collection. Is there some reason that changing the "sort artist" or "sort album" items would lock-down all other fields for editing?

  • I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s

    I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s from AT&T.  I do not download anything huge at all.
    I looked into it and figured out that the phone dials out nightly at 12:29am every night.   I went into my settings and went to general..about..diagnostics and useage..then diagnostics and useage data to see this.  I then clicked don't send...but I am still getting useage alerts.  Can anyone help me please...
    Thanks

    Honestly, from reading the thread linked, they all come off as a bunch of whiney people that cannot be bothered to help themselves.
    Little to nothing in that thread indicates an issue beyond inept consumers.  Yes, I read several pages on the incessant gripes.  Very few made any actual attempts to troubleshoot issues before whining about the "Apple issue" and those that did actual troubleshooting got their issues resolved.
    So no, Apple has nothing to fix beyond a few specific devices that are experiencing hardware issues.
    If you have actually put forth effort and done the basic troubleshooting, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.  Whining will get nothing accomplished.

    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?

    I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

  • Anyone had or having issues with getting nVidia NVS 450 resolution to work?

    Hi all,
    We got a new C20 with a nvidia NVS 450 card--and a ThinkVision monitor. The C20 had Windows 7 preinstalled; the out-of-the-box resolution was 640x480 and we couldn't get it to go higher than that! The ThinkVision and the video card are connected using the DisplayPort cable that came with the unit. After reinstalling the video card driver that came with the unit (on a CD that contains drivers for Windows and Linux), we could never get the resolution to go beyond 640x480. We gave up thinking it must be some quirk with Windows 7. We were going to install Linux on the C20 anyway, so we moved on doing that.
    We installed Fedora 14 (64-bit) installed the nvidia video driver that was on the CD and can't get the display resolution greater than 640x480. After a few days of trial-n-error referencing various online forums, we managed to get the resolution up to 800x600, but not the expected 1900-something resolution the ThinkVision and the video card supports.
    Has anyone had issues with getting the video card resolution to work? If so, were you able to resolve the problem? We thought we'd toss this here instead of calling up Lenovo support first because usually with technical issues, we get more intelligent replies than over-the-phone. Also, waiting for replies on a forum is less frustrating than being put on hold over the phone.

    Solved!

    Thank you for your reply.
    I was lucky to get a hold of another monitor and when I connected that, I got the full resolution. After much testing, I determined that it was a faulty monitor and it had nothing to do with the video card. I eventually got a replacement monitor for the one that wasn't giving me the full resolution.
    Afterwards, I went ahead and got the latest nvidia drivers from their Web site. Everything works really well now.

  • Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03

    Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2.  Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing.  Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad.  IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad.  Any help would be greatly appeciated.  Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.

    I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
    Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
    This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
    You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
    This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
    To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
    If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
    Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
    If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.

  • Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Director

    Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Directory, can anyone help me with this!

    Hi Jason,
    Try this:
    1.  In Ultiboard select Tools>>Netlist Editor>>Pins, press the Delete button
    2.  Select all nets in the Select the Net to Delete dialog and then press the Delete button.  This will clear all nets in the layout, don't worry all traces, parts are still on the design.
    3.  Go to Multisim and select Transfer>>Forward annotate to Ultiboard.    This will add all nets that you removed back and it should fix the pin problem

  • Cannot direct files to open in original application with "get info" anymore

    Upgraded to Maverick and installed Indesign CC 2014 only to find Suitcase has not kept up with an upgrade so fonts are not opening. I would like to use Indesign CC (9.2.2) until the font issues are resolved but cannot choose the application version via "get info" in the finder anymore (it just reverts back to CC 2014 when I select CC). I prefer not to uninstall CC 2014 but will if that is the only option.

    LaunchServices can't distinguish between different versions of an application if they have the same bundle identifier, which is usually the case. Which version will be used to open files is undefined.

  • Finder issues and Get Info refusing to show the number of files on items on the main hard drive.

    I am having finder issues. Mostly on the main hard drive. It takes ages to find things and I get the spinning wheel every time I open a folder.
    So I moved all of my files to a external drive.  When I had finished transfering I hit get info on the files on the external drive and on the same folder on the main drive.  To ensure that it has copied over all the files.  Because it was acting up and not copying all the files.
    Get Info refuses to show the number of files within the folders on the main hard drive. It hasppily tells me everything on any of the external drives.
    I have reset, the imac.  I have re indexed 3 times.  I have deleted the finder plist files.  I have reset finder using terminal commands. I have moved nearly everything off the main hard drive. But nothing is working.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what could be causing my finder and get info issues.
    Any help wpuld be appreciated.

    Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Back up all data.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • HT5312 Is anyone else in Australia having issues with getting a hangup

    when you press 1 for support when Apple calls back I get a hang up and call doesnt proceed. I am thoroughly frustrated tonight. I need an app installed tomorrow for a kid with special needs and I am feeling very miffed!!!

    Hi paul,
    You can try a few more things to rule out the iPhone as the cause of the issue.
    If you have a protective case on the iPhone, try testing without it.
    Make sure the iPhone is updated to the latest version of iPhone software, currently 2.2.1. You can also try restoring the iPhone to rule out issues with the software on the iPhone. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 will walk you through updating or restoring the iPhone.
    If the issue persists, make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • Issues with getting to side displays and closing apps

    Maybe someone else has had a similar problem or can help advise:
    I am on a Windows 8.1 Asus Laptop with a second monitor.  
    Up until about a week or two ago other than some resolution issues (assume may be my video card) all was ok with Windows 8 and 8.1 update and I was liking the new functionality (like anything new may take a few min, but once you know how things work all
    is good).
    My problem is the following: starting about 2 weeks ago and is only with my main monitor (My secondary monitor works exactly like it should)
    - I can now no longer close apps by clicking and dragging at the top of the screen.  Now I need to get to the X button however, I can not get to that X button without clicking on another application which I can only due going to my second screen.  I
    have tried going to the top right corner, clicking, holding, ect the top bar does not show up
    - On my Laptop's main monitor I can no longer get the side Start bars to show up (one on the left shows open apps, the one on the right has the search, Share, Start, settings, ect).  
    Did Microsoft change something in an update that could have caused this issue?
    Is anyone else having this same issue?
    Any clue why functionality would work on my secondary monitor and not my primary monitor?
    Any suggestions or even key shortcuts that I can use to get to these necessary bars without the mouse that I can use till issue is resolved?
    Thank you.

    in the case of the AMD catalyst that i have myself you can try detect displays whenever catalyst is opened and also disable itc processing to give your Microsoft certified drivers quality control.
    Nvidea has similar options but it is important to know the more you change on the windows options level and driver levels can lead to many issues with a limited understanding.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    Sorry for the delaying respond. The error indicates there might be a problem with the ACLs. But the cmdlet "get-mailbox" works, so the ACLs should be fine.
    From the result for checking, the everythings is also fine.
    Is there any update?
