ITunes 12: cannot create new Genre

When I attempt to edit Genre info of a song or album, I no longer have the option to type in anything. Before I upgraded to iTunes 12, I could just highlight and edit, but I can no longer type anything in the Genre box.
Now I can only choose from existing Genres? What's the deal here?
This is far from ideal.
Anybody have a solution for this?

Hi,
The ability to change or add genres is still there.
Just click on genre field and make change.

Creating new Genres in Music Library

The help pages refer to a Genre pop up menu, which can be customised. I can't find the pop up menu. I want to create new genres, e.g. Opera, Live albums, etc. I am using iTunes version 9.1

Elise, When you right-click a track, choose Get Info and go to the Info tab. There you will see a box, and you can type in any genre you want: "Opera," "Live albums," "Live opera albums," etc.
Once you create a new genre, it will appear in the drop down menu, as TT2 mentions, as long as there is at least one song in the library using it.

Cannot create new folders in Outlook

I just bought a new PC computer. I installed MSFT Office Professional Plus 2010. I opened Outlook and added in (i) the pst folder I had set up from my previous Vista
computer (also with Outlook 2010), (ii) my hotmail account, (iii) my at&t/yahoo account and (iv) my gmail account. I cannot create new folders in any of them.
When I right click anywhere in the navigation pane and select "New Folder..." I get the following error message:
"Outlook cannot read the registry information.
-Close and restart Outlook.
-Reinstall Outlook
-Reinstall Microsoft Exchange or other e-mail system."
I tried all three, including removing and reinstalling Office and removing all of the email accounts/pst files and re-adding and still have the problem.
If I try to right-click properties on any of the accounts, I get the same error message, with the following additional language first:
"Cannot display 'General' page. This page will remain visible, but is not available."
Not sure what is left to try.
Appreciate any ideas.

Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, If the PC from clean install, you can follow these steps to test this issue.
1.
Start the Outlook in safe mode,
Press and hold the CTRL key,
and then click Outlook.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them.
2.
Create a New profile & PST file to test this issue
If this problem does not occur in the new Outlook profile & PST, the old Outlook profile is corrupted. We can delete that and use a new Outlook profile.
3.
Make sure the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office
key permissions to allow full permissions to all users

Cannot create new folder?

I have just moved to a new hosting and have connected to it
and I can edit files. When I try to add a folder to the remove I'll
get
"An FTP error occured - cannot create new folder .
Access denied. The file may not exist or there could be a
permission problem".
Any idea?

Hi,
Did you make any changes before the issue appears?
Before going further, you may try the
system restore to go back to a previous status and check the result.

Hello Victor.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

i bought recently a second hand apple i phone 4s but now i cannot creat new apple id .

I suspect you're referring to the 3 free iCloud account limit on an iOS device. If so, there's no way around this. Once that limit is reached, you'll have to create the iCloud account on another iOS device or computer, then setup that account on your phone.

Cannot create new LWP?

To test my Server process, I make a Client process to send numerous requests by creating one-connection-one-thread.
Under same amount of connections (such as 50 connections), indefinitely, the process will be error as follow:
libthread panic: cannot creat new LWP (PID:XXX LWP 2) stacktrace:XXXXXX
my question is:
If there are limits of LWP in a process?
I use unbound thread and let the kernel to balance threads between LWP, must I use bound thread?

I've seen this when my program used a lot of file descriptors. Using truss I could see that a call to open /dev/zero failed and a libthread panic message was displayed. Try using the ulimit command to increase your limit on open files.

Cannot create new Calendar Group in Mountain Lion

I am using a brand new iMac. I didn't use the migration tool-- instead I exported all of my Calendars from Snow Leopard and Imported them via the File menu in the Calendar application in Mountain Lion.
Under the File menu, there is no "New Calendar Group" option. Command-Shift-N results in an error alert sound and no action.
I do not use iCloud for anything other than email-- everything is turned off in System Preferences.
In Calendar, under the Preferences -> Accounts section, I have NO accounts. It is completely blank.
My previous groups from my export/import are there under the "On My Mac" section of the Calendars panel. I can edit them. But I cannot create any new ones.
Any suggestions? Everything on the internet says I need to deactivate my iCloud account calendars... but I don't use them.

Ah, Barney, you are a lifesaver!
Sorry for the late reply, I was away from my computer this weekend.
All of my calendars had been in groups. I moved one of them outside, and TA DA-- "New Calendar Group" appeared.
Thanks so much for the help. I will have to leave 1 calendar outside of a group so I can add as many as I'd like.

Cannot create new virtual network adapter on logical switch team

I am currently moving from Hyper-V 2012 to Hyper-V 2012 R2 and in turn I have just installed SCVMM 2012 R2. I am using SCVMM 2012 R2 to create some NIC teams which I have done no problem in the past with SCVMM 2012 SP1. Now we have everything set up just
like we did in the past and it seems to create the NIC team just fine. The problem is when I try to create a New Virtual Network Adapter, when I click the button, it immediately says:
VMM cannot create the virtual network adapter. Either there are no VM networks associated with the network sites that the uplink port profile "Logical Network Name" Connects to, or the VM networks associated with those network sites all use Hyper-V
network virtualization.
Now I've checked and the VM Network is assigned to the logical network that is associated with the Network Site that contains the host I'm working with. I've also tried disabling Hyper-V network virtualization but that didn't change anything and I thought
that it's always enabled on 2012 R2 anyway.
I would like to gain network connectivity to this team at least for testing purposes and we also are planning on building a Hyper-V cluster. Were some new restrictions added in 2012 R2 to prevent creating virtual network adapters in this scenario or am I
doing something wrong?
Any information would be helpful. Thank you in advance for your time!

Hi Sir,
Glad to hear that the problem has been solved , thanks for your sharing .

How to stop Windows iTunes from spontaneously creating new folders with duplicate copies of songs, and renaming existing folders?

I've recently started using iTunes regularly to import CDs. Since then, I've found my Windows 'My Music' folder is behaving in bizarre ways.
I like to organise most of my music in folders by Genre --> Album title, without paying attention to Artist. I also like to rename certain album folders (and the Album name in each track's metadata as well, so that each album/folder remains consistent), and also to create customised 'mix tape' album folders. I just want to use Windows Explorer / My Computer to manage this; I don't want to do it via iTunes. I just want to use iTunes for initially getting the music from CD to computer.
Previously, when I was using Windows Media Player to import CDs, if Windows Media Player placed an imported CD under a folder category I don't use, such as Artist, I would just manually move the Album folder and delete the empty parent Artist folder. However these days iTunes is spontaneously creating an entire series of Artist folders, even for tracks and albums that were already on my computer, and is placing duplicate track files into them. Additionally, it's renaming albums for folders and tracks I've customised, turning album titles back into their original values. This is happening even though the destination for newly imported/downloaded iTunes tracks is not the My Music folder itself, but rather another folder within that one. I've had a look at Preferences --> Advanced and the 'Keep iTunes media folder organised' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library' boxes are already unchecked, so it's not related to that anyway. How do I get iTunes to leave my folders alone?

First off see this user tip so should any further unwanted changes happen you have a chance to revert to your original layout.
It is not unknown for AV software to interfere with iTunes and corrupt its configuration files. If this happens iTunes can revert to the default settings to "Keep..." & "Copy...". Deselecting those options won't return any files to their original paths.
If you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled under Edit > Preferences > Store that can lead iTunes to download the original metadata for any of your purchases and show that instead of any edits you may have made to it. Turing that option off and restarting iTunes may reveal your version of the metadata.
There is another option under Edit > Preferences > Store that reads "Share details about your library with Apple" although I don't think that changes metadata in the way that the similar option in Windows Media Player does. Double-check your settings in Windows Media Player (Options > Library) to make sure it isn't set to "Retrieve additional information from the Internet". This is usually the cause of spontaneous tag resetting. WMP can be called into life in the background when visiting certain websites and it has a lazy cache, meaning it can sometimes write out metadata to your media files long after the data was originally acquired.
It is also work noting that mp3 files may contain multiple tags and iTunes, for one, treats these unpredictably. In some cases it may appear to accept and write out a tag change only to later read back the original unchanged data from another copy of the tag.

Cannot create new mailing list

I have a large addressbook in TB with many mailing lists created in the past. I am trying to create a new one. When I go "File, New", the mailing list option is blanked out.

In Address Book
If I select a 'Mailing List' (not an address book)
File > New > Mailing list is greyed out because you cannot create a mailing list from a mailing list.
If you select an address book, then 'Mailing List' should be available.
