ITunes 8.0: Unable to Edit Multiple Songs / Loss of Menu Bar Function

I upgraded to iTunes 8.0 today but am now unable to use any of the top menu functions, as I click on them and no choices pop down from each of the File, Edit, View, etc.
Also, when I go to update the information on multiple files, the information editing screen appears quite scrambled and doesn't allow any changes to be made.
Is anyone else having these types of issues?

I'm having the same menu bar problem in iTunes 8.
Also I've noticed there doesn't seem to be a way to view all of the songs contained in my library, like I used to be able to in previous versions. (The fact that I can't access the preferences menu item – because there is none –doesn't help.) Workaround for now: smart playlist. But I really don't think I should have to resort to that.
And sans menus, I can't turn my visualizer on either.

  • Is it possible to edit multiple songs simultaneously in iTunes?

    Does anybody know if it is possible to edit multiple songs in a single pass (by right clicking on all of them and then opening a single edit window or so?). I would like to be able to, for example, change the Genre of 50 songs from Electronica/Dance to Drum 'N Bass without having to do it 50 times over individually for each of the songs.

    I've done this before...by selecting the multiple songs, then right clicking and selecting "get info" from the list. You can then change things like the genre, album name, grouping, compilation (Y or N)...and other changes.

  • Unable to edit my songs in my shuffle, such as deleting songs from my shuffle and adding new songs into it.

    When i first bought my shuffle a few years back, i would use the itunes in my old laptop to add/delete songs from it. However, recently i realised im unable to do so on my new laptop (using itunes). Today, im unable to add/delete songs from my shuffle, using my old laptop or new laptop. Need help on this, as im unable to change my songs in my shuffle. Appreciate any help or suggestions.

  • I have 3 of everysong in my itunes.  How do I delete multiple songs?

    I recently transferred my itunes library to a new computer.  Now in itunes I have all my songs, but times 3.  Every song (about 3800 of them) are in my library 3 times.  How can I delete 2 of every song (about 7600 songs).  How do I delete multiple songs?

    Try this thread which describes how to do the clean up by hand when the circumstances make that easy enough and gives the background to my script DeDuper which takes away the guesswork of which 2 out of 3 to delete.

  • Zen Touch: How to edit multiple songs artists and genres at once with new firmwa

    With the old firmware I was able to do that with Nomad Explorer. But with the V2 firmware, I cannot use the Nomad Explorer anymore, and Media Source Organizer only alows to edit one track at once. Zen Touch Explorer also does not allow me to do that.
    I tried to use Windows Media Player 0 and it worked, but after I closed the program and started it again, all my edits at the Library were gone. If I edit the library and sync to my Zen Touch will it apply what I edited on the library or will it keep the original ID3 tag from the song? How to make the modification permanent to the MP3 ID3 tag on the PC?
    I think creative should allow edition of multiple songs with Zen Touch Explorer on the same way Nomad Explorer used to do with firmware V.

    I haven't seen a program which does batch editing for MTP devices. Real Player does allow you to edit the ID3 tags of songs on the player, but one at a time.
    With most music programs when you change an ID tag on your computer it doesn't update on the player, so you would have to delete it from the player first then retransfer it, or find a program which edits the tags on the player such as Real Player.
    The issue is most likely speed, it will take awhile to do batch editing on the player so that could be a reason why programs dont support it..

  • I'm suddenly unable to edit any song info! Help!

  • ITunes won't let me edit the song titles

    I click on a song title, and click the Get Info and it won't let me edit the song.
    The text is light gray instead of being black. When it's black I know I can edit it.
    I don't know how this happened... can someone please help me??

    Its one of two things,
    1) You don't have the rights to those files/location
    or
    2) The file is read only. Don't change just change the folder rights, go right to the files and uncheck readonly.
    Of course it could be something else I'm not aware of.

  • Unable to Edit Downloaded Song Information - iTunes 11.0.1.12

    I downloaded an album, which I found that I could edit half of the songs.  However,the rest of the songs are grayed out.  I searched, but I couldn't find how to fix this issue.  I read that turning off iTunes Match would help, but that didn't do anything.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Can i edit multiple songs at the same time but not to the same thing?

    i have downloaded a free mixtape and once transferring to iTunes every track on it comes under various artists in the artists section and the name of the artist and song title in the name section of iTunes. I am aware i can change these by selecting  'get info' however i was wandering if the was a way where i can change all of these songs manually, at different times,  without haven't to manually select 'get info' before editing every one.

    There are editors that bring up the songs one at a time, so you can edit them in a row.  Winamp works that way.  iTunes does not.

  • Unable to edit/change songs

    Recently my nano/or ITunes stopped allowing any changes to my playlists. It is allowing and adding new song purchases (somewhat random placement) but is not allowing me to capture and drag/move songs??? What's up?? I tried creating new list, same problem.

    *I tried creating new list, same problem.*
    Is this new list selected when you select the iPod and click the Music tab?

  • I unable to edit my songs or artists

    can anyone help, i can't edit anything

    Try to create a new Firefox profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Unable to edit ipod in itunes

    I have a 2nd generation nano which i am able to add songs to but when it is connected to itunes i am unable to delete any songs from the ipod. The ipod library is displayed in a light font and no songs can be selected. If any one has any ideas on how to solve this it would be greatly appreciated as my ipod is full.

    Select the iPod in iTunes.
    Click on the Music tab.
    The playlists which are sync'd to the iPod will have a checkmark.
    Delete the songs from the playlist(s) you have chosen to sync.
    Or select *Manually manage music* on the Summary tab.
    Then you will have to ad/delete the songs yourself on the iPod using iTunes.
    It will no longer automatically sync.

  • How to display multiple clocks in menu bar?

    Is there an app that can display multiple clocks in different time zones, side by side, like the regular system clock?

    Does this come close enough?

    Don't forget you can add multiple clock widgets to Dashboard, and the info icon will allow you to set the location/ timezone.

  • Ability to Edit info for multiple Songs seems missing in iTunes 12

    From a review of this forum, it appears that iTunes 12 no longer permits editing of certain fields for multiple songs.
    Formerly, one could select any group of songs and, via using Get Info, edit virtually any field for all songs at the same time.
    In iTunes 12 this ability seems missing for certain fields.
    Am I missing something or is this highly useful feature now gone?
    I can't seem to get a clear picture of this from current forum posts.
    Thanks for any comments.

    marked as solving problem.
    did not mean to do that as use of 3rd party scripts should not be necessary for such a core function in itunes
    apple need to restore that basic feature. I will submit a request to them directly.
