ITunes will not allow me to edit any song information

Not sure why but iTunes will not allow me to edit any song information in iTunes library.

Just a few questions first. When did the problem begin & did you install/change anything at that time? Are the songs greyed out and do they play okay?

Ipod Mini will not allow me to add any songs.

Ok so i have a Ipod Mini.. It worked PERFECT until my last update. My itunes is fully updated (1.4.1). I was about to drag my new songs to my Itune Playlist, and it wouldnt let me. As soon as i would let the song drop in the play list this would come out "file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/admin/Shared/T,does not seem to be a valid podcast url. Pleasecheck that you have entered the correct URL and try again." I am not sure what my podcast URL was..And i dont really know where i can view my podcast url so i can fix it ..
please help me !! ^_^
thanks guys!

"my ipod was linked to another computer when i downloaded itunes onto my lap top it will not allow me to add songs to ipod mini without deleting all the songs can any body give me a simple remedy(ipod is linked to anotheritunes library do you wish to link to this library)?"
After you click "no" to that message, use one of the suggestions here to get the music from your iPod back to iTunes.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.
Once you are sure that the music is safely back in iTunes (and not before), you can click "yes" to that message, associate the iPod with your new iTunes installation and start using the iPod and iTunes as normal.

Presumably this problem continues after restarting you computer?
This is the Apple article on troubleshooting problems with freezing.

It is always a good idea to sure you computer is free of viruses and spyware before starting. If you don't have a spyware scanner there is a free one here:

Somehow my itunes started a new library and I lost my old library. Itunes will not allow me to sync new music to my ipod without deleting stored music from ipod. How can I start using this new library and sync the new music without losing existing music.

Somehow my Itunes started a new music library and I lost the old library. Itunes will not allow me to sync new music from my computer to my Ipod because it is now in a different library. Itunes wants to delete all my Ipod music before sync any new music. How do I work around this. I think this happened during Itunes Upates.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Need help on how to stop this and get the updates to work.

I am havin' this same problem. I've upgraded to Snow Leopard and when i checked for updates, in this case for 10.6.6 version, when I click to install, and the system should aks to me my password to continue, nothing happens. Then I've tried to install 10.6.6 combo to see what happens, nothing happened. So I started to search for a solution and I finded a guy with this same problem and he said that he went to update section on apple's website and downloaded the version 10.6.1 and then it worked fine. Unfortunately, in my case nothing happened, again.

New iTunes will not allow me to manually sync music to Iphone 4s

I had to change my computer's hard disk which is a mac, I updated itunes as I had done before with my other hard disk, but now my itunes will not allow me to manage anything in my iphone 4s. I cannot manually sync music to my iphone as I used to, not even the option "ADD TO" appears when you click on the "On this phone" tab. I was wondering what I have to do for my itunes to recognize that it is my phone.

It gets stuck at preparing to update every time I try.

I have acrobat standard and it will not allow me to edit.. every file i go to open it says "there is a active file open and must close in acrobat" other times it says account cannot be validated after I have already paid for it.. please advise

Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

Recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.5.5 - have an older G4 which is max'd out upgrade-wise - both processor and OS. At present Safari is 3.1.2. Itunes is 9.2.1. Itunes will not allow me to connect to store - says it requires Safari 4.0.3 - however, when I try to download Safari 4.0.3 or newer it says it requires an older version of the OS. What to do?

Update v10.5.5 to v10.5.8
Download and install the combo > Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
Then restart your Mac.
That should update Safari for you to 5.0.6 and that should help with iTunes.
If necessary, after updating to v10.5.8, you can use the standalone Safari installer here > Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections such as options. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

Itunes will not allow me to change the installation drive...

I have a PC with a hard drive that previously was partitioned into C: and D: segments. I have since removed the D: partition. itunes thinks it is still installed on the D: segment and keeps trying to perform downloaded updates there. My current D: drive is now a DVD ROM. When trying to install itunes updates, it will not allow me to change the destination. When I try to change it, I get the message "The volume D: is currently unavailable. Please select another." Then it gives me the "Finish" screen and doesn't allow me the option of changing the drive. SO... I tried uninstalling itunes. itunes will not allow me to uninstall it either. Please help.

Even though you're getting a slightly different error message, I'd try the following user tip:
"Invalid drive X:\" install errors

Try using a different browser. If it works, then the problem is most likely Safari. If the other browser doesn't work, perhaps it is the web site.
Firefox
