ITunes won't allow me to change the genre

I have a cd on iTunes and it says that it is Pop, with the exception of one song that I downloaded from iTunes that says it's country. The cd is supposed to be country and so I've tried to change it by going into Get Info and change the genre. It doesn't change no matter how many times I've tried. Any suggestions?

Hi Chris,
I too am having the same problem as mentioned previously. When I try to edit the genre, and info for my songs, all I get is a greyed-out screen. You mentioned that the songs could be read only, or the folder might not be selected for write permission. Could you please explain further how I can make this adjustment?
Thanks!!

  • 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:

  • I have changed my email address.  Now I cannot access I Cloud as it won't allow me to change the email address.

    I have changed my email address and now cannot use I Cloud as it won't allow me to change details without deleting old email address.
    How can I change the old email as I have forgotten password and cannot have it sent to me via the old email as it is enabled.
    I would like to be able to turn on I Cloud on all my devices, I phone, I pad and Apple Mac desktop.  Help.

    Hey cnasmond,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue relating to changing your iCloud account. The following articles may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • ITunes won't allow me to change song info

    iTunes will either not let me edit info because it is greyed out or it will let me change it but when I press okay it won't actaully change anything. I have read-only turned off in properties and couldn't find any solutions online on how to fix it. Any ideas are appreciated!

  • ITunes 7, I think it's changing the genres of my songs when it looks up art

    I've only noticed this, as I actually leave the "Genre" field blank. As far as I'm concerned, there's only two types of music, .....good or bad.
    So I've set iTunes churning through my collection, hunting for album artwork, & I notice that a lot of my tunes are now "Classic Rock" or "R&B" or "other". Now I know I haven't filled in these genre's, as I don't use the genre field.
    This isn't a big problem for me, as I can just select all affected tracks & delete any text in the genre field. But I can see this being a major issue, for people who have spent a lot of time labelling up their music collection exactly how they want it. Only for all their hard work to be changed to the genres that apple thinks your music ought to have.
    While I've been typing this, I've just set iTunes going on "get album artwork". Prior to this absolutely nothing had genres filled in. .....I've now got 150 tracks with genres!!

    Hey,
    My friend had a very similar issue to yours. The issue came down to the pins of the MagSafe not meeting with the MacBook perfectly causing the lights and the transfer of power to be wacko. I'm not sure if this is issue that your experiencing, but its worth checking out the pins and the MagSafe area on your MacBook for debris.

    If that is all clear, then I would suggest you call AppleCare or take it in to an Apple Store to have it checked out.

  • ITunes won't allow you to change country stores anymore?

    I hope not because it's a great way of discovering music from other countries.
    I get this message.. Unable to access allowance at this time,this information is needed to determined if a store change is possible.
    *** does that mean?

    First off, I need to see if you are doing it right. Have you tried going to iTunes store and then clicking on your country in the bottom right, after which you click on another country?

  • My itunes won't allow me to use the money from a gift card

    I recieved a gift card, I redeemed it and purchased a few songs as usual. However, when I went back to use it a few days later itunes kept trying to bill my card instead of using money from the gift card.

    There's nothing wrong. Apple does not allow gift purchases using a gift card. In order to get an item in iTunes, you have to use your credit card or debit card. I know this is not what you're looking for but I hope I answered your question.

  • ITunes won't allow me to purchase HD movie

    I just bought an ipad 2 (which is compatible with HD movie right?) and i want to buy my sister's favorite movies "Tangled" and "Toy Story 3" in HD so i can transfer those to my iPhone and iPad.
    but my monitor isn't HD monitor yet, and iTunes won't allow me to buy the HD movie anymore
    it kinda strange because i've bought some HD movie before, but now it says:
    "This cannot be purchased in HD on this computer
    To buy or rent this in HD, your computer and display must both support HDCP"
    is there a way for me to buy those movies in HD without having to buy a new HD monitor or purchase it on my iPad ? because my pc has faster connection speed than my iPad.

    Apple does not provide support in these forums. Everyone who replies, with extremely rare exceptions, is just a fellow user.
    There are several different possible issues presented in this thread, so it's difficult to provide any ideas or suggestions since I can't tell which of the "same problems" you actually have. I'd suggest you start a new discussion detailing your exact issue, setup, country, software versions, etc. and perhaps someone can offer such advice.

  • I've recently changed my network provider. iTunes recognized the new number and amended it in iTunes. My original number is now available but iTunes won't accept it or allow me to change the number on the device. How can I resolve this?

    Hi Guys
    I have just changed my telophone provider in the UK from )2. To transfer the number, which I wanted to retain, took 24 hours and I was given a new number by the new provider Virgin Mobile. To unblock my iPhone I had to connect it to iTunes, which recognised my device and changed the telephone number. 24 hours later, my old number returned but iTunes won't recognise the device or allow me to change the number back to the original. How do I reslove this?
    Many thanks ;-)

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • TouchSmart IQ546T Music "Settings" won't allow me to change my library to itunes

    I would like to use my Itunes Library instead of the HP Touchsmart Library, I've seen/read all the tutorials about changing the library under "settings" but the icon to click "Use my Itunes Media Library" is greyed out and won't allow me to change to that setting. I verified that the location of my library was in the "music" folder. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    There are a number of possible problems:
    1. If you use Preview to copy the pix you might not have actually gotten the picture onto the Clipboard, so there is nothing to paste. You can check this by either "Show Clipboard" from the Finder's Edit menu, or try pasting first onto a new folder. If it doesn't paste into the folder let us know. It could be that you haven't gotten the desired picture "active" in Preview--if, for instance, it is an icns file you need to select the 128x128 icon and then click in the actual picture part of Preview's window, then copy.
    2. If your picture is indeed on the Clipboard and will paste onto a folder, but you can't paste onto the drive because the wee GetInfo icon won't highlight you've got a permissions problem. I've had luck changing the icon by TEMPORARILY giving Everyone read and write permissions to the drive, using GetInfo.
    As a last resort you will have to use the Terminal, there are several different things you can do, of various levels of complexity.

    This process does not appear to work for me.  I'm running 10.8.3.  I created a new user for a guest staying with me.  They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user.  It won't allow me to choose the user I created.  I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin".  The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users. 
    Can someone help me?  I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on?  What if this were my child?  This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
    Any help would be appreciated.  (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
    Thanks.

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.

  • HT202274 Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep i

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
