ITunes 7.1 edit multiple item info

Hi,
Never had this problem before but upon upgrading to iTunes 7.1 last night I started experiencing it immediately. Was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug? I'm in the process of ripping a lot of vinyl I have to mp3. I use Lamebrain to encode my aiff files to mp3. Upon dragging a few mp3s into iTunes to add them, they show up fine in my Library, but when I highlight, say, these two new files in my Library to edit them this is when the problem starts.
When the multiple item info window pops up, I enter in whatever info I want the two items to have, hit enter, but the information I've just entered only is being applied to the first of the two highlighted items. Furthermore, the second item which didn't have the information applied to it has now been rendered mysteriously uneditable, meaning that when I press -I to get info on the track, all of the normal fields that one can enter in all the metadata are inaccessible (I can't click in any of them to enter info), as if iTunes were viewing the track as an internet radio stream or something. Only if I quit iTunes and relaunch it does it let me enter in metadata for that track. This never used to happen to me in iTunes 7.02! Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Evan

i was having the same problem and i fixed it by locating the songs on my computer and right clicking on it and selecting properties. then you have to make sure it is not a "read-only" file. by unclicking the read-only option , i was able to edit those songs on iTunes with the GetInfo option. hope this helps!

I have problem uploading tiff. or other images through artwork box in multiple item info in itune-images is not visible in folder!

i noticed recently that once i uploading images with MULTIPLE ITEM INFORMATION box in itunes and getting straight through the music folder i have no option to upload tiff. and some jpeg. images connected with that album. the box don't allow me to upload them.i need help here,please.i know i can directly paste the artwork in small window in itunes left corner once i marked all the songs in multiple change.

The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template.

Edit Multiple items.Is There a way?

I have a very large number of recorded Tv-shows in my mac,I want to edit them all together.So that I can place them in the Tv Shows library instead of the movies library.They are about 200 Episodes So I can't do it one by one.How can I edit the Video tab when in ''multiple items,Get info''.I Have the same proplem with music videos.How can I edit them all together?

Thanks, Eustace and Kirk.
To Kirk--I saw that screen when I was trying to troubleshoot before doing the smart thing and asking the forum--but do I have to have both drives plugged in at the same time? It's (appropriately) only showing the one that's currently plugged in (whether "Oldie" or "Newbie").
To Eustace--yes, that's what I would assume would happen--it's what happened when I plugged in "Oldie" for the first time. I was caught off guard when it didn't prompt me this time. For plenty of people, "hey, if I plug in any external HD it asks if I want to use it as backup--sweet! Because I [launched my old one out of a fifth-story window by mistake] or something.
I really appreciate both of your quick and helpful replies. Thank you!

Can't edit multiple items in aperture 3.5.1

i cant tag, rate or do any such thing with multiple photos. Irrecspective of using Cmd+A or Cmd+clicks , it changes the info for just one pic.
how to resolve this

Check, if the "Primary Only" flag is active. If yes, disable it.
With this flag active, only the primary image will be effected by edits.
See: Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?

Where is the total tracks and size information in itunes when I select multiple items?

In older versions of iTunes, when I was creating a playlist for burning to a cd, I was able to see the number of tracks selected and the total size. Is this information still available somewhere?

Don,
Yes, it is in the Status Bar at the bottom of the playlist or library. It shows song count, time, and total file size.
If you do not see the Status Bar, enable it by using the command View > Show Status Bar, or the shortcut CTRL+/.

Can no longer edit info on multiple items

It is so frustrating when an update makes some new change that takes away major functionality. I have a folder of movies in itunes, a genre really, called "home movies". I want to select them all and change something on them. In this case, change them to the new "media kind" Home Videos. So I select them all, or just a few or even just two of them and I get this message:
So in order to change the info in any way on these items, I need to select every single one of them one at a time. Thing is, they are all the same media type anyway. It seems this just must be a major bug, but wonder if anyone has any idea as to how to get around it so that I can access the info on multiple items like before.

Neainc1 is on the money. I totally agree. McBlob, the file types are the same and even if they are not, I should be able to multi select them just as I always could before!
I actually called Apple Support and after a long time while the agent checked with senior tech, they agreed it was a flaw and hoped it would be fixed in an update and encouraged me to send feedback to Apple, which I did, but I'm always suspicious about it meaning anything. Still, hopefully they will fix it, but in the mean time, it is possible to downgrade to 10.7 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576

HT1451 when editing info, how do i select multiple items to edit a group? For example, changing the artist name on multiple tracks at once?

Same way you select multipl items anywhere else.
Hold ctrl and click the items you want.
If they are in consecutive order, click the 1st then Shift click the last.

ITunes 7 can't add artwork to multiple items in main window like iTunes 6

In iTunes 7 I can no longer add the same artwork to multiple items in the main window. For instance, I want the same cover art added to every track of a certain album. I select all the tracks, and the artwork window says "Drag Album Artwork Here", but when I do, nothing happens.
This used to work fine in iTunes 6. Is this a bug, a setting I am missing or something else? I know I can edit the artwork in the "Get Info" window but that's inconvenient when ripping a lot of CDs.

Negative, Bill.
Even with "selected item" checked, it will not add artwork to multiple items. The method I am using is the method I have always used - highlight the whole album and drag a jpg from a web browser straight in. It makes a brief HD noise as if something is being accomplished, but the songs do not acquire any artwork.
However, if you only select one song, it will drag in seamlessly as always.

Can't change the 'compilation status' for multiple items in iTunes 8.

Hi there,
I've got an issue regarding the disappearance of the compilation 'tick box' when changing multiple items. Its there when you click on 'get info' for the individual track but its no longer there (in iTunes 8) when I want to change the compilation 'status' for multiple tracks at a time.
In iTunes 7 I selected all the tracks and changed their compilation status by accident, but now, in iTunes 8 I can't change this without going through my library, track by track!.
Please help.
Thanks,
Fred

Multiple Get info now has tabs - look on the options tab.

Get Info..for multiple items where's THaT preference ?

The 1st few times I'd try to Get Info for multiple items , I'd get one window opened, and could make , say , 12 .aiffs open w/ iTunes rather then QuickTime. [ and even THaT seemed to change at the point of the latest iTunes/QTime upgrades...now QTime Pro is in charge ! ]
My point is : I like to get that one window for multiples, which used to come randomly, and not 12 seperate windows. Where DoeS one control that ?
-=TIA=-
~~~=Dave

Actually it's a function not a bug.... If you do GetInfo on more than 10 items it opens a "group" pane, otherwise it opens individual windows. Unless you want to count items the reliable way is to use Show Inspector instead (add the option key). I find Inspector more useful anyway, so changed the Keyboard shortcut to make Inspector the default of Command-I.

HT1349 how to delete multiple items in itunes

how to delete multiple items in itunes

I inported my music files and see that I have multiple copies on my files so now I have multiple copies in iTunes.
Some are multiples, some are duplicates, some are from different dates and some do not work and have the symbol for this.
Thus, I must be picky about which ones I delete.
Looks like I will have to continue deleting manually.

Sorting / Get Info for Multiple Item Information

I want to sort based on album artist and then album. (Can I/How do I) select a secondary sort item? How do I suggest additions to the Multiple Item Information dialog, specifically sort album artist, sort album)?

Click on Album column header a few times.
It will cycle Album -> Album by Artist -> Album by Year and back to Album.
How do I suggest additions to the Multiple Item Information dialog, specifically sort album artist, sort album)?
No need to.
Fill in the info in one sort field, then click okay.
Right click on that song then *Apply sort field* and select which field you want to apply.
