Itunes 11.0.3.42 on pc will not allow me to edit/update iphone playlists.

I upgraded to itunes 11 on my pc and have not been able to edit/update my iphone 5 playlists. They appear grey-ed out in itunes. I got the dreaded message telling me the iphone was synced to another itunes library--though it never has been. I went through the pain of
uninstalling and reninstarlling itunes
resetting my iphone 5 to factory settings
restoring iphone from backup
And no change. I still get that 'synced with another itunes library' message. I still cannot control my iphone music from itunes. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem when I updated itunes. All of the music disappeared from the phone and none of the songs in the itunes library were playable ( they all had "!"beside them) It turned out that either the mapping for an external network drive was lost for itunes and that drive had the music or the external drive went off line from the network. Once I got the drive back on the network. and restarted itunes I could then sync the music back to the phone.

I have an HP Officejet Pro 7580 similar to the 8600 you have and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it wouldn't work. HP support site said download updates for Mountain Lion from App Store not their site so I went to software update but there were NO UPDATES FOR 10.8. Tried a million things and could not get printer to work. So I restored back to Lion figuring at least printer worked then only now I can't get it to work with old settings either. I am sick to death of claims by Apple and peripheral manufacturers that everything is compatible all you have to do is get updates well in this case THERE ARE NONE TO BE GOT and I don't have time to **** about trying to find 'work arounds'. There shouldnt be a need for work-arounds. Unless the updates are ready DONT release the new OS. You shouldn't have to be an IT tech to make basic things like printing work. I see also the HP 8600 is even sold by appstore so there is no reason why it shouldn't work with minimum fuss.

ITunes will not allow me to edit any song information

Not sure why but iTunes will not allow me to edit any song information in iTunes library.

Just a few questions first. When did the problem begin & did you install/change anything at that time? Are the songs greyed out and do they play okay?

I have acrobat standard and it will not allow me to edit.. every file i go to open it says "there is a active file open and must close in acrobat" other times it says account cannot be validated after I have already paid for it.. please advise

Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

HT5621 I changed my appleid online, but I cannot change the appleid on my iPhone, it will not allow me to edit it under settings?

I changed my AppleId online and I cannot get the Id changed on my iPhone 4. Settings will not allow me to edit the existing Id. ???

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

PodcastMachine will not allow me to edit my feed

I started a podcast four weeks ago, using PodcastMachine's free service. I quickly outgrew their free service's bandwidth requirements.
I now have my own service space, and a new RSS feed, but PodcastMachine will not allow me to add the "itunes: new rss" tag to my existing feed, and they have not responded to my requests for support.
Assuming they don't get back to me, is there any way to submit the new feed to iTunes, or am I going to be forced to delete the existing podcast and resubmit it and simply lose the existing subscribers?
I appreciate any advice and apoligize if this has been answered elsewhere. I could not find a similar request via a forum search.
Many thanks!
- Tony

The 'itunes:new-feed-url' method is the normal way of moving a feed. The Apple Tech Note on the subject also mentions setting up an HTTP 301 redirect on the server (see here) but though I'm not familiar with PodcastMachine I would rather assume that they host the feed, so you won't be able to do that either.
In this situation you have only two options, neither very satisfactory. The first is to abandon the old feed altogether. You should get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.
The other option is somewhat uncertain. iTunes Support is notoriously unhelpful, often sending back form answers which often don't deal with the actual problem, or referring the questioner to the Discussions Forum (which may have sent the questioner there in the first place): however it has been known for someone to persuade Support to shift their podcast to a new URL, so it's worth trying. It's probably just a matter of luck who you get. To contact iTunes Support, go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.

Will not allow me to download update; error code: 3

At my work I have attempted to install the update to Creative Cloud but it will not allow me to. After it attempts to install, it will bring up the message: "Administrator privileges are required to continue with installation. (Error code: 3)" Obviously I need administrator approval to install, but the problem is at no point in the install process does it bring a prompt to enter admin credentials so it won't allow the install. Anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks

You can try :
Troubleshoot CCM Applet installation and download

I just downloaded itunes 10.6 and it will not allow me to edit song info! Why?

why won't itunes 10.6 allow me to edit song info?

Have you moved your iTunes library recently? Are you using a different profile?
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administer privileges.
Also in iTunes properties tap the read-only check box until it clears, then click OK. When prompted apply the change to the folder and all files and subfolders.

My iPhone will not allow me to edit my Apple ID in iCloud and so I cannot sync my phone. How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud for my phone?

I recently changed my email address and updated my Apple account profile to reflect the new address. This changed my Apple ID for signing into Apple store and making purchases as expected. I am however undable to get iCloud account to recognize the new Apple ID. I have gone in through settings on my iPhone and in iCloud Account Information attempted to change the Apple ID but the field is muted and will not permit editing. I have looked all through Support in iTunes Store and cannot find any information on how to get iCloud to accept my new Apple ID.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

My 'Find my iphone' is still on, which is keeping me from deleting my account. How do I get around this?
If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Numbers will not allow me to edit an excel spreadsheet I have

Can someone please help me before I scream.
I have set up a spreadsheet using excel on my boyfriends computer as numbers would not allow me to produce the graphs that I required. Long story.
Since completing the spreadsheet, I have saved it on a memory stick and also emailed it to myself. When I open up the excel spreadsheet in numbers, some of headings and labels have moved. I want to tidy them up, however, every time I click on the text boxes, or any other part of the graphs, nothing will happen.
I am trying to finish a dissertation and am about to scream as numbers won't let me carry out such a simple task.
After looking at the help pages, it states that excel graphs are compatible with numbers, but this doesn't seem to be the case for me.
Someone please help me.
Keeley

Thanks SG
Its such a pain as my Macbook Pro only has numbers and pages, and my partner has word and excel, but because I'm completing my dissertation on my laptop, anything do on excel, which I then have to cut and put into my dissertation (completed on pages) throws it all out.
If only Apple and Microsoft would comply with each other, it would make my life a whole lot easier!

I am using the Good for Enterprise app to synch my outlook email and when I try to turn on ICloud to synch my music in ITunes I get a warning that I will not be able to synch my Iphone 4S with my computer. Does this mean my office PC or home Mac?

I am using Good For Enterprise on my Iphone 4s to connect with my Office PC Outlook email system. I am having trouble synching my Itunes music from my Mac at home with my IPhone 4s. I am considering using ICloud to share the music as I also have an IPad2. When I go to turn on the ICloud application, I get a message that alerts me to the fact I will no longer be able to synch with my computer. Does that mean with my Office PC and my Outlook email, or my Mac and my home email and other applications? I want to use the ICloud but don't want to screw up my Good for Enterprise application and connectivity with my Office PC and Outlook email. What should I do to be able to update all my tunes and photos on my IPhone 4S and IPad2 from my Mac?

I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

ITunes lost all of my purchased music, will not allow me to re-download

I recently lost all of my purchased music, around 180 songs, out of the blue. This was not a hardware issue with the underlying block device, as the only music affected were recently purchased music.
I have tried multiple times to redownload my purchased items only to find that the download all button becomes gray and nothing is actually re-downloaded. I have tried this on Windows and on my Mac (which i was working on moving my music to) with the same results. At one point it actually re-downloaded one song however none of my other purchased items were downloaded and the "download all" button went grey.....
I am running the latest OSX Lion and the latest iTunes 10.5.2
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Your iPod is designed to sync only one iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it to a new library it will replace the contents that are currently on the iPod with the contents from the new library.
So what you'll need to do is copy all the content currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first. Then you can go ahead and restore it to factory settings and start syncing it all back over to your iPod from scratch.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different methods available for copying content from your iPod back to your PC.

Home Sharing will not work with my Windows 8 64bit with new itunes. All of my Apple TVs will not see my library and my iphones will not function with the "Remote" App. They all did before. Only thing that has changed is new PC/itunes. Any Ideas?

Installed a new Windows PC on my home network. PC is Windows 8/64bit. with latest version of itunes 11.1.4.62 for 64bit. My itunes works, but I can not get Home Sharing to function now. None of my Apple TV's can see my computer library and prompt me to turn it on. All of my iphones, pods, pad, can not use the "Remote" app. When you prompt your phone in Remote App to "add library" and you get the code....iTunes doesnt give you the remote screen where you can enter the code. I have reloaded iTunes, reset my router, updated all devices. You can turn on "Home Sharing" on iTunes, but then it closes and doesnt seem to link my devices like it use to. Also, when the new version of iTunes is up on my PC, you can see the other devices to AirPlay to like you could before. However, I can send items from my iphone to stream to an Apple TV, I just cant link them all like I could before and control the music playing to multiple Apple TV. Growing fustrated. Any ideas, would be helpful.

You are a legend!! I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!! I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!! Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

My playlists only appear in itunes when my ipod is connected, and it will not allow me to drag songs into playlists from the music library, can anyone help. Have downloaded newest version of itunes and using windows xp.

My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP. Thanks

Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
Hope this helps!
