ITunes 12 cannot add grouping tag

I just imported an audiobook CD and cannot find a way to add a Grouping tag in iTunes 12. See the screen capture for book 6 where there is no option to add the Grouping tag.
If you look at the screen capture for Book 5 you will see the grouping tag. I added book 5 in the previous version of iTunes where I was able to add the 'Grouping' tag.
Can anyone tell me how I can add the grouping tag in iTunes 12?
I am using Yosemite.

There is another work around for Movies you have added to iTunes (seeing as someone thought removing the Option right click trick was an excellent idea and better than allowing users some freedom)
Any way, with a movies open the get info window, goto the options tab and change the media type to Music Video ( You'll notice the window options change slightly) you can now got to the details tab and "grouping" will be there, add your desired grouping for the movie go back to the options tab change the media type back to movie then hit OK. the grouping will now appear and hey presto something that was easy is now a hassle. thank you to the person who changed it.
This works on the Audiobooks as well, just change the media type to Music and the grouping option is available, add your grouping name, change the media type back to Audiobooks and it keeps the grouping, Its crap but it works (until some bright spark stops it working)

Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone? It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync. But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
I have the latest version of itunes
Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music? How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost? How do I get it to sync?

That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

PSE 11 - Cannot add people tags to photos from Media tab

I upgraded from PSE9 to PSE11 and now the tags are separated on the right side, with the people tags below a line from which you can no longer add these tags to photos.
How am I supposed to add people tags to new photos?
Thanks.

To see imported keywords for people, in the Media tab click the menu:
View >> People Recognition
To add new people tags click the button on the task bar Add People and let the software run.

Cannot add groups to new users

1, I add users in WebLogic 11g. However, in the Parent Groups page, I cannot move any groups to the right dropdown list.
2, I am going to add new users for Oracle SOA Suite worklist. Does anyone know how to do it?

you need to update and add user in jazn-data.xml file and restart bpel server then you will be able to look up the users using jazn tool
To assign the credentials navigate to $Oracle_Home\integration\ orabpel\system\appserver\oc4j\j2ee and use the command
java -jar jazn.jar -adduser jazn.com soauser1 admin123
RealmLoginModule username: admin
RealmLoginModule password:
This will create a user 'soauser1' with password 'admin123'
update the jazn-data.xml :
<user>
<name>soauser1</name>
<credentials>!admin123</credentials>
</user>
This is one way also you can create users using EM console

Cannot add groups to Lync 2013 contact list

Just recently we've had reports (and I can verify this myself) in the Lync 2013 client if you add a group to the contact list, it says "Cannot perform this action, and the cause is unknown. Contact your support team to investigate this problem."
There is no issue adding individual users to the lync contact list, just if you search for a group (for example, Accounting) and this group is an easy way to add lets say 5 accounting associates to lync instead of individually adding each person at a
time.
Any idea how to diagnose this? In checking my Lync client version I get this:
Microsoft Lync 2013 (15.0.4675.1000) MSO (15.0.465.1002) 32-bit
Part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
The server is Lync 2013 as well.
Exchange 2013 is used on premise if that matters.

Hi KJSTech1,
To better understand the issue, I would like to collect the following information for troubleshooting:
1. Group expansion is enabled and disabled by using the
Set-CsWebServiceConfiguration cmdlet. Please make sure
EnableGroupExpansion
parameter is set to
true .

2. Can you run the command
Test-CsGroupExpansion to test the ability of a user to employ group expansion ?

ITunes cannot read ID3 tags written by Perl module MP3::Tag?

Greetings,
Just trying to re-arrange ID3 information in a large set of MP3 files. Before I run the following Perl script, iTunes can read the ID3 tagging information. After writing ID3 inform ation to the MP3, iTunes no longer reads any tagging information from the MP3.
Does anyone have any information regarding this? There is some cryptic information in the MP3::Tag POD regarding setting the "id3v23_unsync" option but that doesn't seem to alter the impact on iTunes at all. Windows and other tag readers seem to be able to read the all ID 3v1 and ID3v2 tags just fine (including the altered fields) after running the following script.
Thanks for any suggestions/guidance anyone can provide.
Description: the following program takes an MP3 filename as input.
Action: It appends the value in the Album field to front of the TITLE Field. That's it! Easy!
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use MP3::Tag;
MP3::Tag-> config(id3v23_unsync=>FALSE);
my $filename = $ARGV[0];
$mp3 = MP3::Tag-> new($filename);
@info=$mp3-> autoinfo;
@albnum = split(/_/, $info[3]);
$frame = $mp3-> {ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
print $frame;
$mp3-> {ID3v1}->title("$albnum[0] $info[0]");
$mp3-> {ID3v2}->change_frame("TIT2","$albnum[0] $info[0]");
$mp3-> {ID3v1}->write_tag();
$mp3-> {ID3v2}->write_tag();
@info=$mp3-> autoinfo;
print $info[0]; //print ID3v1 TITLE field
$frame = $mp3-> {ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
print $frame; //print ID3v2 Title2 field
$mp3-> close();
Thanks!

SOLVED
Changing the config entry (Line 3 in original listing) to:
MP3::Tag->config("id3v23_unsync",0);
fixed the problem with iTunes.
NOTE: This means that iTunes version 7.x still has the synchronization problem alluded to in the documentation (POD) for this Perl module. I just had the syntax wrong to set the workaround parameter.
That aside, iTunes 7.2 works quite nicely with the modified MP3. Artwork (even though this was a modified and obscure (and legal) Bible audio, it found additional information about the MP3 in the online database).

Itunes cannot read id3 tags

Ok, so my itunes library file got corrupt and i lost over 5000 songs. So, i transferred all of them from my ipod to my computer and i got all of them. But 1% of the tags didnt get decoded. So i did the convert id tag thing but it didnt work. Is there a way to get it back to its normal file name or will it be called something like "PCQU" forever?

Error message "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPhone because no more free space is available"

I have an iPhone 4, and have over 2 gigs of storage space left, yet iTunes gives me this error message anytime I try to add even 1 song from my computer to my phone. I can still download apps from the app store, and can still download content from the iTunes app on my phone. I have tried opening up more space by deleting content. Still nothing works. What do I need to do to fix it?

Try de-selecting Sync Music followed by a sync. This will remove all music from your iPhone.
Follow this be re-selecting Sync Music along with your selections below followed by another sync to re-transfer the music and hopefully along with the new music you want transferred.

Cannot add Users to Groups

Hi there,
I cannot add any users to any groups in the last week. This occurs only with the Server app. In Workgroup Manager I can, but the group membership do not appear when I open the Server app. I have tried to do this through the individual user page or through the group page. Each time I get the following message "Operation is not supported by the directory node."
Suggestions?
Thanks
Mitch

Small correction. Also cannot add group in Workgroup Manager. The error is "This action failed because an Open Directory plugin has not implemented that functionality yet."

Problem with Grouping Tag in iTunes

Hi,
I am trying to use getID3 to read the 'Grouping' tag from iTunes. It would seem that iTunes is writing these tags to my MP3 files, as, when I open them in Media Rage the Grouping Tag shows up OK. However, when I then upload the tracks to my server and use 'content_group_description' to read these tags (the getid3 code for the 'Grouping' tag, nothing shows up. If however, I change the Grouping Tag in Media Rage, and then re-upload, the Grouping Tag does show up.
I wonder if someone could help me troubleshoot why this is happening. I would rather not have to retag all of my files in Media Rage if possible.
Thanks,
Nick

After further investigation it would seem that the Grouping Tag is preserved such that getid3 can read it for the original files in my iTunes library. The problem occurs with files are converted using iTunes (from higher bitrate to lower bitrate MP3s). For these files, the Grouping Tag shows up in Media Rage, but cannot be read by getid3. If anyone has an idea why this might be, and what I can do to resolve this issue, I'd be glad to hear of it.
Thanks,
Nick

Add mp3 to iTunes, delete file from Downloads, add Grouping?

Can anyone help me make an Applescript (or it may need to be two) that can be used as a folder action to watch the Downloads folder and:
1) Open .mp3s in iTunes and set track Grouping ID3 field to 'singles', then delete original .mp3s.
2) Open .zip and .rar archives, parse then unarchived folder for .mp3 files, add them to iTunes, set track Grouping ID3 field to 'albums', then delete original folder of .mp3s.
2a) Bonus points if the script adds the .mp3s to itunes in descending order based on file name track numbers (track 10, track 9, track 8...).

bump for more help?

The older version of itunes cannot be removed. contact your technical support group.

need help with itunes 12.1
my itunes was working just fine on my windows 7 pro PC.
Update 12.1 popped up and I clicked download and install and now all of my itunes is gone.
I uninstalled all Apple software packages, and also pain stakingly went thru my registry line by line and deleted all references to itunes, apple, quicktime, etc., then downloaded fresh downloads of the installer and each time I get just about to the end of the installer and a window pops up and says
"the older version of itunes cannot be removed. contact your technical support.
So, I tried downloading the previous version 11.4 and 10.7 64bit installers and then the system won't even get started doing an install when the system responds...
"a newer version of itunes is already installed", and the installer quits.
I have cleaned my registry now about 5 times, I ran all of the apps to clean my PC of all of the apple and itune files. I am an administrator on my PC. I also went as far as creating a second administrator and switching under that account and still get the same responses.
I have removed any attached external drives and tried the installer.
I have tried to install itunes under a different folder location instead of the default C:\Program Files directory.
I have tried to install via the Apple Software Upgrade utility as well as direct downloads of the installers.
All of my music is gone.
When I run the installer now, all of the other apple software files install ok, with the exception of itunes. It gets nearly complete when the "older version" error comes up then I notice it backs off the installation and no files or directories are created.
There is nothing in the Control Panel 'Add/Remove Programs' as far as iTunes, their are no directories or files, yet it still sees a old version of itunes referenced in some file on the pc.
I ran a couple of utilities such as CCleaner, Everything, Revo Uninstaller and Registry Reviver, as well as going thru regedit line by line for hours to remove references to apple and itunes - all still with the same results.
Either I get a 'the older version cannot be removed' or 'a newer version of itunes is already installed'
very frustrated.
anyone have a installer that will complete ignoring any errors?

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 the 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.
If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
If you still have no luck try reinstalling iTunes 12.0, links in the user tip.

I have a G5 which I intend to keep.
Now that I have updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.
I cannot add music to my iphone or upload photos to iphoto.
I have the last itunes 10.6.3. which was supported by apple.
itunes will not interact with my iphone on any level.
Apple made all the equipment I use.
Bentley and Ferrari etc do not stop making parts for their cars?
The least Apple could is.
A. Update itunes to run on a G5
Regarding iOS 7.0 you have totally lost the plot.
We buy apple why?
Quality.
Intuitive interface.
Stable software.
Design.
All that Steve Jobs consider sacrosanct.
Quality is about ongoing support longevity of product.
Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

My post on facebook this morning.
If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.

You need to update iTunes to 11.1 on your PC
