ITunes not saving my media details edits

I imported some old music from a hard drive, but when I go into Get Info and amend things like Artist Name etc none of the details save. As soon as I click OK it reverts back to it's original details. Please help

SOLVED. Did more searching on the net.
I had permission issues on some of the song folders, so just rick-clicked the entire Music folder in my hard drive, Preferences, un-tick Read Only

Can someone tell me how to stop itunes from saving my media to two files?

I know the answer is simple...but I can't seem to find it in plain english!
So i bought a new used computer (lol) and took all my backed up music from my external drive and dumped it right into my computer. Put the whole MUSIC file into finder, under the "Music" section...then when that was done I dragged it into iTunes.
Well lo and behold my 500G hard drive is almost full! AGH! So i tediously went through files on my itunes, deleting all I could. Everytime it asked me if I wanted to move the files to the trash and I said YES!
Ok...so after hours of that, i look in my Music file in Finder (which now has a new folder from my external called MUSIC) and lo and behold...every file i deleted is still there!
So, I'm no dummy. I guess iTunes makes a new folder of iTunes media, something like that? Doubling everything?
I will gladly delete everything and start over if I must, but can someone please tell me how I can put music files on my computer without them doubling, or how to delete them and have them actually delete? Settings?!
help! Thank you!

Adding music to iTunes will copy it into the iTunes mdia folder.
Put it into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes older.
This will move (not copy) the media.
You can delete the files you originally copied into the Music folder.

ITunes not saving settings

Every time I start iTunes after a reboot, the "first-time" wizard pops up, and my settings are not saved. I have tried to unset the Application Data folder from Read-Only, and I have tried deleting both of the .prefs files. This seems to happen every time I install a new program or modify the registry in any way. How can I fix this problem?

Any help?

ITunes not saving artwork

iTunes seems to save artwork OK if it has downloaded it itself, but if I paste artwork into the 'Get Info/Info.Artwork', although I see the correct artwork and the associated checkbox is ticked, the artwork is not saved.
Any ideas??

Can you see the artwork in the artwork column or when playing that track?

Abort Capture on Dropped Frames Feature is Not Saving Captured Media

I have searched for this specific problem here without any results. I'm simply capturing regular SD DV and am getting dropped frames. Even though the dropped frames is an issue that I shouldn't be encountering, that's not the reason for this post. The bigger problem is that FCP 6 is not saving the file prior to the abort.
The manual specifically states on page 308 Part IV " Abort capture on dropped frames: When this option is selected, capture stops immediately when a dropped frame is detected. All media captured before the dropped frame has frame-accurate timecode and is preserved. The resulting media file is saved and a clip for that media file is placed in the Browser."
Well the issue is, FCP is NOT saving the file to my hard drive much less it's NOT placing the clip in my Browser. I can spend 50 minutes and get a dropped frame and it aborts capture (that's what I want it to do) but the time spent capturing that 50 minutes of media is simple gone. Poof, no file, no nothing. So what gives, anyone else seen this problem?
I am up to date on all software.

Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback.
I have a MacPro 2.66 GHz dual-Core Intel Xeon with 5 GB of ram. Internal 250 GB system drive with an additional internal Seagate Barracuda 750 GB drive 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s drive Model number ST3750640AS which I have captured my previous project, and now am capturing only my 2nd project to.
Note: I have only captured 2 projects to date on this new Mac. The first project consisted of around 5 tapes which I captured each one using the CAPTURE NOW feature without any problems (with the exception of the reset timecode which FCP handled as advertised and stated below). So far I've captured 10 tapes from my 2nd project. So I still have well over 500 GB free on that drive.
I am capturing via firewire from a Sony DSR-11. I only use one brand of tape, the Panasonic AY-DVM63AMQ. My cameras are 2 Sony VX2000 and one VX2100. I know for a fact that I need to replace the internal battery in my oldest VX2000 because every time I turn it on, I get a warning that I need to set the clock, and everything else has reset itself to default settings. However, this is not the camera that I have been experiencing timecode reset with. It's my other (not as old) VX2000. I don't use my cams to capture to the computer, that's why I purchased the DSR-11. With this camera, it will reset timecode frequently with the camera still powered on, but stopped (not pause mode). The tape is not being previewed or anything causing it to play past the preexisting recorded media which wold in fact cause a timecode reset as you stated in your last message. So I don't know what is wrong with this camera, I'm fairly certain the internal battery is good because it keeps time on it's own. I'm hoping it just needs a good cleaning, but I'm afraid it may be something worse. I'm getting ready to send it off for a checkup this week.
In any case, about 80% of the time, FCP has been able to properly detect timecode reset when it is encountered, and it does in fact pause recording, save the first file, and reposition itself to the new timecode and start recording a new file as advertised. The other 20% of the time it has simply paused the DSR playback, saved the file, and informed me that the tape has reached the end of the recorded media, which it hasn't but In these cases it's not detecting a timecode reset. I then have to press the stop button in my capture window to actually move the deck from pause to stop mode.
Now, the dropped frame issue on capture is a separate issue. According the the FCP manual (as I stated in my first post) it is suppose to abort capture, but still salvage what has been captured thus far, and it is not doing this. Thus far over the course of these first 2 projects on my Mac, I have only encountered dropped frames on capture twice, and both times while capturing from this 2nd project. The first time this happen, I was doing a lot of stuff in the background, i.e. checking email, browsing some web site, but nothing that consisted of playing video or audio, and I was doing some iChat (simple chat, not screen sharing or video/audio conferencing or anything like that. So I attributed my drop frame to the fact I was doing too much in the background. I then decided that I would NOT be playing around in the background any more while capturing. So I was quite surprised when I received yet another dropped frame notification at around 50 minutes. It did about capture as advertised, but it did not salvage the media it had already captured.
So... that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Thanks for your time, I appreciate the help.

Clip markers not saved in media browser after closing project

I suppose when I set markers in clips opened in the mediabrowser the're not saved because the clip is not brought in the project or is there a workaround to save hem even when not in the project?

The explanation makes sense.
The solution does as well - import the clips.

ITunes not saving password

Since iTunes 9 it doesn't save the password on iPhone or pc. Please advise.

Since upgrading to OS 3.1 my iPhone 3G is prompting me for my Apple ID password a couple of times per day (pops up message to enter password for iTunes Store)even though is is saved in the Store Settings as the password saved and I've re-entered them a couple of times just incase they got scrambled or something. Seems almost like the iPhone isn't check to see if a password is there.
I did look at the article provided by Jason L, but it doesn't seem to be relevant in my case as my iTunes seems to be fine and it's just an iPhone password issue.
Note: I've been reluctant to do a full restore or anything like that, because of all the reports of people have their phones stop receiving calls etc after doing the OS 3.1 update. Thankfully that hasn't happened to me. lol... if anything my issues with losing reception and not being able to get it back seem to have been fixed since the 3.1 upgrade and I'd been having those since pre OS 3.0...
Anyway any suggestions on how to fix the issue would be greatly appreciated.

IPad not saving Log-in details

Can anyone tell me if this is an inherant fault in iOS or just I cant find the right box to tick in 'Settings'.
On my MacPro and MacBookPro whenever I tick a site's "Remember Me" or "Save details for next time" box, the next time I visit my log-in details are filled in for me so I don't have to remember all my usernames and passwords, but not the iPad, it refuses point blank to remember any settings like that.
When you are at home you can write down all those details but on the move you wouldn't want to carry them all with you and as for remembering them all well at my age that's getting harder with every passing year! My iPad is passcode protected on opening and after sleep so the fact that it is carry all my log-in details about with me is ok as its protected. Its getting annoying having to remember all this stuff when the machine should do it for you.
Any ideas folks
TIA
Mike

Itunes not saving user agreement

Hi if any one can help me on this sbject i would really really appreciate it!! basically since i've had my 3rd generation ipod nano this problem has occured, everytime i open itunes and click on the ipod icon the user agreement that when firt opening itunes comes up and asks me to agree and then save it and i have done this many times but it still stays there and so i can't see what songs are on my ipod or make any changes until i get rid of it, thanks 4 any answers u can give me.

Are you seeing a Continue button anywhere? Click the little Agree box then the Continue button, there's no need to save the agreement. If you aren't seeing all the buttons try increasing your screen resolution to at least 1024x768 so you can see the whole page: iTunes window does not display all options

ITunes not saving

My iTunes will not save any apps or music. When I sinc all of my purchases to iTunes and then close it out, when I reopen iTunes, there is nothing there. This all started after an iTunes update when it deleted ALL songs (purchased and copied from cds) and apps.

My iTunes will not save any apps or music. When I sinc all of my purchases to iTunes and then close it out, when I reopen iTunes, there is nothing there.
A few questions aimed at narrowing in on common culprits.
What make and model of PC do you have?
What security software do you have installed on the PC? (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware?) Does it include ESET's Smart Security or NOD32 by any chance?

Bayside Beat tutorial not saving properly? [subject edited by moderator]

I'm only on the first step of the trial, and have saved 'Bayside Beat' to the Sites folder, but it's empty - there are no images, nor anything in the js folder - what's happened??

The tutorial says -
Copy the bayside_beat folder into the Sites folder.The bayside_beat folder is the folder you will use as the root folder (main folder) for your Dreamweaver site. The content folder contains two rich text format (.rtf) files with text content for the web pages you'll build in this tutorial. The bayside_beat_comp.jpg image shows the design for the main page of the website (see Figure 2).
Did you add this bayside_beat folder as the root folder of the site in your site definition?

Itunes not saving my ringtones

Hi guys! I recently made new customize ringtones for my Iphone 4 ios5 with Itunes 10 in my mac osx lion. Followed all the instructions and successfully added them to my Itunes ringtones tab. But everytime I open my Itunes, my new ringtones are missing in the ringtones folder and have to drag them all back again. I have also lost my ringtones tab in my Iphone 4 and couldnt sync my new ringtones to it. Please help. Thanks!

I see you have a Sony, is it a Vaio? If so it comes with sotware that can casue trouble with iTunes.
In Control Panel, turn off Vaio Content Folder Watcher and VAIO Content Metadata Intelligent Analyzing Manager.

Also SOny have released updates to the software for some models so check the Sony support site.
