ITunes 12 - ACC Creation and Get Info

HI
Does anyone know how I can convert MP3's to AAC also how can I add art work without Get Info?
The right click functions before the upgrade did everything I needed it to, now thats lost except for very few options on the ...
In the last few years apple have taken away more functionality than it adds to iTunes, I still miss a link where i could see every new release each week, which I'm sure caused me to spend even more money with apple!
Thanks in advance

While this is definitely a workaround, I thought I might suggest something.  The fields seem to be type sensitive on iTunes 12.
So, Album, Album Artist, and some others are available for Music/Music Videos.  So, if you have your tracks as something other than these, it won't show up.  However, iTunes 12 doesn't delete fields, so you could change the type to Music Video and then put info into those fields, then change the type back to whatever you had them as in the first place.
I did this while importing some TV Seasons.  The strange thing is that iTunes still lists Album on the unwatched list for TV Seasons.  So, for those that are imported, it says unknown album.  It's bad enough that Apple took away some useful fields from some types in the standard Get Info window, and then didn't even allow you to add them back again if you wanted, but they actually use these fields in some views and it messes those views up.
Hope this helps.

  • 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?
    http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=6704

    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

  • 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.

  • Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message:

    Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message: An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e3b",process orArchitecture="x86"".

    A broken Windows Modules Installer then. It's a bit of an involved fix getting past it, but we've had success here with it in the past.
    First, I'd strongly suggest setting up a system restore point.
    Now try the Scenario III treatment from the following document:
    Windows Update Error 80070424 in Vista
    Head back into Windows Update and attempt to get updates again. If they still fail, this time with an 8000FFFF error code, try the following Microsoft document:
    Windows Update error 8000FFFF
    If you get Windows Updates flowing again, stock up on any you're behind on (restarting the PC when requested to do so). This may take some time and may have to be done in several batches, depending on how far you've fallen behind. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
    After the updates have been installed, restart the PC one more time (in order to ensure that any pending installs requiring a restart have been resolved).
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the 0x80070424 this time?

  • 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.

    iTunes 8 "Lyric" tab under "Get info" is missing....
    Now how do I add lyrics to my songs?!
    How do I restore the lyric tab? Is it part of iTunes 8 new design?
    Thank you!

    Well, it won't show up if it's in WAV format.
    WAV format doesn't have tags for lyrics.

  • ITunes 10.5 and Get Info facility - no longer working?

    Since I installed iTunes 10.5 last week, the Get Info facility for adding details of albums not on Gracenote doesn't work. The screen comes up as before but once you start typing iTunes crashes and quits.
    Anyone else got this problem?  Anyone solved it?
    Thanks

    I have this problem, and nothing appears to work.

  • Clean Install System 8.5 - Desktop Menu and Get Info??

    Hello,
    I'm helping an older lady with a clean install of system 8.5, upgrading from 7.5.3. on a 6214CD Performa. (I'm mostly using 7.6). To my suprise, with the full install (not custom), I'm not seeing several things in the Desktop Pull down menu - like for example Get Info, and some things under Views. Further the keystrokes I've used for 15 years like Apple "I" for "get info" don't work. What am I missing?
    Secondly, I lost access to one partition on an external back-up hard drive by accidently using a 68k Disk Tools vs the new Disk Tools for 8.5 and the 603e processor. My question is, can I "initialize" only ONE partition or will Initialize attempt to re-do the whole SCSI hard drive, and go into the partitioning thing again?
    Thanks
    Lowell

    Hi, Lowell -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    I'm not seeing several things....
    Look in Finder's Preferences - it may be under the Edit menu when Finder is active, or in one of the control panels (it's been a long time since I was in OS 8.anything). Locate an item named Simple Finder, and uncheck it. The change should be immediate.
    Can't help with the Disk Tools question, at least not directly...
    Try running Drive Setup (or the OS 8 equivalent - can't recall its name - HD Setup?). If you can see and select that partition, you should be able to select either Mount Volume and/or Update Driver from one of its menus (the Functions menu in Drive Setup). Neither of those functions is destructive, and one or the other, or both, may be able to recover the ability to mount and access the partition.

  • Author metadata separated by semi-colons truncated in file properties and "Get Info"

    I'm using Acrobat Professional 9.0 (CS3) for Mac to edit the metadata for a collection of PDFs to be made available on the web. When I enter the data, I am inputting a list of authors separated by commas, like this: Smith J, Watson C, Brown J. If I click on "Additional metadata", the data I've already entered is transposed into the various XMP fields. And the commas separating the author names are changed to semi-colons. I gather that this happens because XMP wants to separate multiple authors with semi-colons, and Acrobat wants the metadata in XMP fields to match the metadata stored for the file properties. Fine.
    However, if I save such a PDF and then use Get Info on my Mac (OSX 10.4) to look at the file properties, the list of authors is now truncated where the first semi-colon appears. The list is also truncated in Windows XP if I right-click and select properties. The list is also truncated when I look at the file properties in Preview on my Mac, or if I look at file properties using FoxIT, or using Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 or earlier. The only way a site visitor will actually be able to view the full list of authors in a file saved this way is to use Adobe Reader version 8 or later.
    I would like to preserve XMP/Dublin Core/etc metadata in the proper format in the XMP code, but would also like users of standard, popular file viewers to be able to access the full list of authors. Is there a way to do this with Acrobat 9?
    Also, once I've saved a file and the XMP metadata has been altered, Acrobat seems to permanently change the way that the authors are listed in the file properties. I cannot manually change those settings any longer without Acrobat overriding my changes and converting commas to semi-colons, or surrounding the entire list of authors in quotation marks. Is there a way to get around these Acrobat overrides and manually take control of my metadata again?
    Does Windows Vista read the authors list correctly in the file properties if it is separated by semi-colons?
    It seems to me that in an attempt to get XMP metadata working smoothly across the entire CS line, Adobe has jumped the gun somewhat and is now forcing Acrobat users to use "file properties" metadata that is really only fully compatible with Adobe products. Is there a way I can get some backwards compatibility on this?
    Thanks for any suggestions or insight anyone can provide to this vexing issue.
    Phil.

    Bridge has some pretty powerful and helpful features. However, I am unable to figure out how to access the non-XMP "file properties" fields through Bridge, and if I add metadata via Bridge, then I run into the same problem regarding the use of semi-colons to separate authors.
    If I had more time, or a larger set of files I might investigate the use of ExtendScript to import all my metadata from an Excel file (where it already exists) into the PDF file properties and XMP metadata.
    The best solution for my case though appears to be to use Acrobat 9 and to do the double-edit process for each file. I should be able to just cut-and-paste the metadata from the Excel file, and then if I save the Authors list to the end, I can simply paste it once into the XMP field (through the Advanced metadata button) and then return to the regular file properties page and paste it again in there, where Acrobat will add quotes around it.
    Lastly, if anyone else happens to find this post and is looking for similar information, I would recommend searching in the Bridge forum as well as the Acrobat forum.
    Phil.

  • Distinguishing MPEG from ACC with out "Get Info"

    When I convert newly downloaded music to MP3 format I go to "Recently Added" to find the MP3 copy. I then have to go to "Get Info" to figure out which one is the MP3 version. Is there an easier way of doing this? I tried "Display Duplicates" but, both files are displayed with out the MP3 file being distinguished from the original download. I just want to burn the MP3 version to a disk.
    Thanks for your help.

    In the column headers, right click and select Kind (or go to menu View > View options).
    MP3 is shown as MPEG audio file.

  • Unlockable file and 'Get Info' doesn't work

    Hello
    I have a file from an existing external hard drive that I brought over to my new Mac Mini. I can not delete or unlock this file. When I do a Command I (get info) the finder/desktop just flashes and no menu comes up. Therefore I can't uncheck the 'locked' box. I can't move it to the trash either.
    The file is a Shockwave Plugin from OS 9 (ShockwavePlugin.class). I'm on a Mac Mini core duo, running 10.4.7
    I've searched everywhere on here and can't seem to find a solution. I even tried using TextEdit and saving a new file with the same name as the locked file (to replace it) and TextEdit won't allow me as it says the file needs to end in ".rtf"
    Stephan

    Hi Niel
    First off, thank you for such a quick reply.
    I just tried doing what you suggested, hit run, and then in the bottom of the menue (below in the window where I pasted what you said to run) it says 'false'
    I then tried to move the file to the trash and it won;t allow me. The eror message I get says "the operation cannot be completed because the item "ShockwavePlugin.class" is locked.
    Does this tell you anything more?

  • Itunes 12.0.1.26 Get Info has no shortcuts

    I often edit the song information and properties to things that I import. In previous versions there were keyboard shortcuts to switch to the next song, track number, song title, artist etc. However there do not seem to be similar shortcuts in the current version making rapid editing much slower for me. Another annoyance is the fact that when typing into fields such as artist, there is an autofill option that selects one of the titles when hitting space, so I cannot simply type in similar album titles with spaces in them; it simply selects the wrong title. Also, I cannot tab to select/deselect whether the song is in a compilation, which also slows down my own personal formatting.
    Is there any way to obtain the old format of the get information window that had keyboard shortcuts and didn't automatically change things I was typing?
    At least make it so that hitting the spacebar is not an select function in text boxes.

    Hi Steve,
    With the update to 12.1.0.71 the shortcut for the old style Get Info appears to have been removed. Do you know of an alternative shorctut?
    On the plus side, at least this update has put the OK button on the left and the Cancel button on the right, as they were originally. (I can't think of any good reason to have swapped them as they did.)
    Regards,

  • When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

    No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
    How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
    It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database.  Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer.  If you have one that matches that it will label it.  You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
