ITunes 11.2.1 is unable to change metadata

After this recent update of iTunes to version 11.2.1 I'm no longer able to change metadata of any MP3 file without that the spinning ball takes an infinity spinning tour. I have to kill the iTunes process. Befor this update I changed mass of files through iTunes media information dialog. There was never a problem.
My files are on an external Windows Server 2012 R2 share and I use SMB1 (CIFS) for access. The underlaying file system is NTFS but that was never a problem. The current logged on user has ownership of all files. And in fact, I can create, change or delete any file through Finder. But now iTunes is not able to change one of this files metadata without going to nirvana.
If Apple has changed the underlaying right system of iTunes they have done something wrong.
Has anybody a suggestion?

I have the same issue with a mac mini 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4.  I am using the mac mini headless and screen sharing using my macbook (same OS and software) The album covers are visible on grid but not on coverflow.  I can also see the covers when using iPhone remote to control itunes on the mini...
Tried reinstalling safari as recommended by another answer, changing display res hasnt helped.
Help pls

  • HT1918 I am unable to change the credit card information on my iTunes account

    My old credit expired so I need to edit the credit card info...after trying with various different (and active) cards the iTunes window still tells me "Temporarily unable to process this request...please try again later"...I have done this for 2 days...The iTunes Help topics have no answers for this problem....it's been over 48 hrs since submitting my "help" request to Apple but still no follow-up. Perhaps the Apple support community has somene who knows what the problem (and fix) is? BTW, I'm really dissapointed at Apple lately: never-ending version control, redundant (annoying) security requests for login and really poor help menus. How about a FAQ for troubleshooting? Non-existent...I guess that's why people like us end up fending for ourselves in the "Community" help sewer, spending the night on Google looking for a real solution. Thanks Apple. You suck!

    Spooky6243 has the solution for CC updates (it worked for me, anyway!): log in to the Apple Store on your web browser (http://http://store.apple.com/us) and then update your account inof there...credit card updates will appear on the iTunes application after making changes thru the website...I wonder why Apple never tells us this in the first place? Probably because it should work thru either application...good luck everyone!
    P.S. - And make sure your iTunes app is closed before you make changes on the website (this may help you Geordon).

    I often use credit card for iTunes but also use iTunes but systems won't let me change back to my iTunes. I have redeemed and gives me a balance but I am unable to access.

    If you can't find anything for exactly that amount then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Unable to change text size

    So I have been unable to change my text size in itunes. When i switch between "large" and "small" text sizes the size remains the same, however the size of the menus and the itunes stores is small. I theorize it was probably some program I installed but since I am nearly constantly adding and removing programs I can't pinpoint which one it was. If anyone can tell me how to fix it or point me in the right direction that would be great. I am including my system info as well as a screen of itune. Thanks.

  • Unable to change apple ID location

    I was trying to make a purchase recently, but a message telling me I needed to update my billing info came up. For some reason, my country is listed as China (I live in Canada, I've never even been to China). I tried changing my country back, but I am unable to. I get to the "choose your country or region" page, and it says "You need a valid method of payment and billing address for a country in which iTunes is available. Please select a country from the lis below. If a country is not listed, it means iTunes is not available in that country yet."
    The problem is, there is no list to choose from. The page is blank, aside from that message. Ive tried restarting my ipad, logging out, but the page is always blank. I'm not even sure how my country was changed from Canada to China in the first place, but now I am unable to change it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you are doing it via the iTunes & App Store option in Settings, then once you click on your AppleID, and then click on View AppleID>Country/Region>Change Country or Region, then you also need to click on "Store" where it is showing China right now.
    Once you click on "Store" it will then display the list, and you can scroll down to Canada.
    That should fix you up.
    But you are really going to have to do something about that sleepwalking problem!!!
    Cheers,

  • Unable to change screensaver

    I changed my screensaver to the itunes album art slideshow the day I got my macbook pro. I have been unable to change it since then.
    Going through system preferences, then clicking "desktop and screensaver" will bring me to the window where I should be able to change the screensaver. However, ther preview window is empty and the list of available screen savers in not populated. Within second the window closes itself and the following message appears: "The applicatio System Preferences quit unexpectadly."
    Choosing any of the options "close," "report," or "reopen" and trying again yeilds the same results.

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter ~/Library/Preferences/ as the folder's location. When this folder has appeared, move the item named com.apple.desktop.plist to the desktop. Next, open the ByHost folder inside and move anything which has a name containing screensaver inside to the desktop as well. If everything works properly after moving those files, throw them away.

  • I am unable to change my credit card number, because my profile shows United States therefore it does not accept the phone area code, and zip number, because I live in Switzerland. Please inform me how to do it. Many thanks.

    I am unable to change my credit card number because my apple profile shows me as a resident of the United States, although I live in Switzerland. Consequently I cannot edit my area code, zip number, State info, etc. Please advise me how to do it. Many thanks.

    Hello Luis,
    To update your billing information, you would need to change your iTunes Store country to be able to enter the information for Switzerland.  I found an article with the steps to update this:
    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
    You can find the full article here:

  • When I go into settings iCloud my apple ID is listed as my old apple ID and I am unable to change it. Any help?

    I recently updated to to iOS 6.1. When I did it asked me to put in my password but my old apple ID came up. I skipped it and the message stated that my facetime and iCloud might not work correctly. I skipped anyway. I have since verified my apple ID online and my facetime seems to be working correctly, However, when I go into settings>iCloud>my apple ID is listed as my old apple ID and I am unable to change it. Any help?
    Thanks,

    Welcome to the Apple Community..
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • I am unable to change the country

    I am unable to change the country on my Apple account. I click on change country and it doesn't take any action.

    Are you aware that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside ??  That could be why you are having problems changing locations.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
    From here >  The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
    Billing policy is the same for both the Mac App and iTunes Stores.
