Manualy renaming tracks in itunes not working properly?

this being my 5th or 6th ipod since ive started collecting them several years ago, i shouldnt even have this question
i manually manage all of my songs/play lists through itunes to begin with
when i rename the artist, album or genre i have no problems,
but when i try and rename the NAME of the track is almost seems that itunes clicks me out of the window making it almost impossible for me to rename a song.
i just updated to itunes 7.4.3, which i thought would solve the problem, and also restored my ipod once, which also has the most upto date software on it.
i just had a 5generation 80 gig ipod about a month ago which i sold to buy the new thinner classic... i had NO problems ever with that one... but this new classic ipod made me install a new version of itunes which has done NOTHING BUT GIVE ME PROBLEMS.
anyone have the same problem?

Yes! I've noticed the same thing in the most recent release or two of iTunes. Occasionally I like to change the track name from the main iTunes screen by using the <F2> key to go into "text edit" mode while the track is selected. This always worked fine before. But now, if I try to use the arrow keys or the delete key to move through or edit the selected text (track title), it seems to "save" the change (or not?) and immediately kick me out of "edit mode".
There's something funny going on. Sure wish it would go back to the way it was before. Editing track names from the main screen is no longer really viable.

    Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

  • ITunes not working properly with HP running Vista home premier

    My Ipod touch works fine on my windows XP pro system but does not sync photos and podcasts from my other computer at home: new HP Multimedia system running Vista Home Premier. It goes through all the motions but will only add a few photos from a file and they are partially corrupt. Many times it won't add any selected photos. Same with podcasts, they won't sync to the ipod. Have tried various USB ports.

    well, it is easy. i just wish it to sync in a manner that i do not get frustrated with it. it just does not like to sync when i open up itunes on desktop to update apps when they have updates. i have got to revert to plugging in the phone and ipad for it to sync and update apps. if you read through the whole thing you would have found it out. all i am saying is that itunes 10.6.1 and ios 5.1 have bugs and issues that make it hard for a iphone and ipad user to sync and update apps. itunes is slow to open with windows 7 as well as i did not mention that before but i have mentioned it in my other forum posts.
    summary:
    itunes 10.6.1, is slow to open on windows 7,

  • ITunes Not working Properly/Not Syncing on Network properly

    Hello there,
    For weeks and weeks now on my Computer iTunes will not see or recognize my iPhone 4S and my iPad 3. When I try to sync by opening iTunes on desktop and then wake up pho ad iPad it does not see it and will not show them in iTunes no matter what I do. I have reset network, forget network, renew lease on wifi network and shut down both and turned back on and nothing has worked!!! I have reported this many times as well in the past. It is like Apple themselves have changed the way iTunes suyncs with the phone and ipad when trying to sync to make updates on apps.I am at wits end!!! Since they did the update to 10.6.1 it has been a pain in the you know what to sync to update apps.I got to plug both in to computer for them to sync and update apps or update apps from the iphoor ipad itself. Please Apple or someone who knows what needs to be fixed please fix it it is very aggrevating it has been weeks like this and I would have thoughht that Apple would have gotten the hint when I have seen others complain about this as well. It is from what I see most of the time it is with Windows 7 computers that have this syncing connectivity issue but I do see it happen in Wndows Vista as well as I have both operating systems here with 2 iphones, 1 iphone 4s logged in to windows vista when updating apps and the other which is windows 7 and it has ipad 3 and iphone 4s attached to it to sync when updates to apps become available. I hope some can make sense of all this and help or get apple to fix the issue finally!!!!

  • Itunes can't connect to internet, istore, track names and not working properly

    Help please I have spent hours trying to sort out what ever is wrong with my itunes.
    I can't connect to store when trying to take digital copies of dvd, I can't get track names, When I connect ipad and iphone it doesn't go past backing up.
    I have been in communication with Norton and they have tried loads of things. I have now uninstalled it until I get to the route of this problem.
    Please help me!!

    OK many are not aware of this, but Windows XP with SP2 comes with windows firewall automaticcly on. so first check to make sure you have windows firewall off. goto the control panel, select "Security centre" and make sure it is tuned off. If the security center says "On" and is lited up green, you have some firewall on.
    You may want to check with your ISP and make sure there not blocking you from the music store too thru there own firewall or other means

  • IPod or iTunes not working properly

      Model:

    Problem:
    Video will skip. Audio continues as normal, but the video is like it is
    fast-forwarding. Also, the timer in the bottom just goes up, like a stopwatch. This
    happens after just about 15-18 minutes of a 22-minute series. The files are good,
    can watch them on computer (even plays normally with the file on the actual iPod
    itself), as well as the files work on my iPod Touch (outdated). please help!
    As well, itunes will not add .mp4 files, it tells me that it iis processing the files, but it never adds them. The files also work. I am using the latest version of iTunes. i have noidea what to do.

    i also have to add that when i say that i can play the file on my ipod, i mean that i have connected my ipod to my laptop, and have gone into teh system files (on the ipod), found the file, and watched it on my laptop

  • ITunes not working properly after Firefox upgrade. What is corrective measure?

    iTunes "store" indicates error #42403. It does not load. However, radio does work. This seemed to happen after I upgraded Firefox.

    Here's an update:
    1. The fan problem had to do with WindowsXP (new installation and/or drivers). The fan would simply not obey the Battery Optimized Cooling Method, and would work at full throttle all the time. Since i could not pinpoint the problem, i decided to use Acronis True Image Corporate Workstation to create an exact copy of my old configuration and HD contents, re-installed that, and that resolved the fan problem.
    2. Concerning the new 80GB 5400rpm 16mb hard disk, well, it is very noisy compared to the original Fujitsu HD the laptop had. I decided to return it next day, and got a Hitachi Travelstar 80GN instead (80GB 4200 rpm 8mb) which is very quiet, just like the Fujitsu 40GB one.

  • HT1926 Why is my iTunes not working properly on windows 8? please help me

    Good afternoon,
    I have recently perchased a HP laptop with windows 8, I am not overly impressed with the design but what really upsets me is that my itunes is not picking up my iphone or ipad when opening Itunes on the laptop. On the off chance that it does, it just connects and reconects but does not go sny further.
    Kind regards
    Dizzy

    Run windows update to ensure that your system is current (even if you just purchased it, there may be updates available).
    After running windows update, you may need to remove and reinstall iTunes to make sure everything is in the right place.
    This troubleshooting assistant may be of assistance:

    If you are going to remove and reinstall iTunes, follow this KB article:

  • Help Viewer in Finder and iTunes not working properly

    When I click on any of the links in the Finder help viewer, nothing happens; if I type something in the search box, a list of topics display but if I click the show button for any of them, nothing happens. Same in iTunes. Looks like my help is screwed up with Apple apps. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Yvan

    Hi Danycom,
    Try this... locate these files: com.apple.help.plist and com.apple.helpviewer.plist and com.apple.recentitems.plist and
    There are located here:
    /Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate those files and drag them to the Trash. Empty the Trash and reboot. This fix should also correct your iTunes Help Viewer also. If this doesn't do the job, post back and we'll dig deeper!

  • Bamboo Track Pad not working properly

    My Bamboo track pad is not working properly.  Plugged it in into my macbook pro via USB like usual today and for some reason when I try to use it and begin using the pen tool in illustrator my pointer only stays in the top left corner of my screen and wont move with my pen.  This is the first time I have had this problem with my Bamboo track pad.  Not sure why it is doing this.  My MBP recognizes the track pad but for some reason it just won't work properly.  Not sure if I need to reinstall the driver or what?  Any help would be grateful, thanks.

    Ralph, thanks for the quick reply.  All of the Trackpad preference boxes are checked for "Point & Click" except "Three finger drag."  Once "Three finger drag" is checked, this action spawns a simultaneous action in the Trackpad "More Gestures" area that changes the gesture for Mission Control from "three finger swipe up" to "four finger swipe up."
    Since I am having this problem on an early 2009 iMac, I decided to check-out my 2013 MBPr for the same behavior.  Amazingly, all was working well with the built-in trackpad functionality regarding the "double-tap select and drag" until i checked and then un-checked the "Three finger drag" box (in Trackpad preference > point & click).  Now my "double-tap select and drag" is BROKEN on my 2013 MBPR.

  • ITunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly

    iTunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly.  I can access with my three ATV2's watch a movie later that same day it tries to access and ATV2 just keeps trying and never gets through to the library.  If I restart iTunes its fine then later can't access.  I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on a i7 Mac Mini with 10.7.4.  Sole job is to be iTunes server and an occasional HTPC with remote buddy running.  I disabled remote buddy ajax remote feature, and file sharing is on so I can load new tracks form other macs Thats it, a vanilla install with all updates.. No problem prior but not sure if problem free period was with 10.6 earler versions or 10.5 versions.  I update as warnings to do so come up.  The remote app has same problem accessing the Home Share.  I disabled home sharing on my iPhone and set to access the old method with 4 digit code and sees all the time and will play to my express base stations so seems to be home sharing issue because iPhone apps with home sharing on and ATV2s have issue accessing.
    I'm never home but when I am I use this equipment loads and this weekend not reliable at all.  I have firewall disabled, and setup is as before and is working fine.  I am using Mini by ethernet and using AEBS 1st generation gigabit as router only wired to cable modem and whole house ethernet attached, latest version AEBS gigabit as a wireless bridge and 2 prior version 11n expresses and a 11g express, all expresses are set to wireless off and are connected to ethernet and then to a stereo in 3 different rooms.
    I can't be only one.  Considering downgrading to last version of 10.5 but not sure how to do this.
    How many of you are having trouble?
    Any resolutions?
    How to report to Apple?
    How to downgrade safely? Or is it 10.7.4?

    I ran into the specific problem in another thread.  There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes.  You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem.  iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
    Now for what you really want!  Set all of your ATVs to wifi only.  Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also.  I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100. 
    I also turned off ip v6.  That could help you also.  I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem.  The wifi trick worked on both platforms.  Several of us have bug reports into apple.  I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem.  The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much.  What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

    You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

  • I have lost track of the number of websites that do not work properly on the iPad without Adobe Flash player which is unsupported. I cannot use retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. All are missing tabs, links, info

    I have lost track of the number of websites which do not work properly on my iPad. They include retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. They all seem to require Adobe Flash Player which cannot be downloaded onto an iPad. Skyfire does not solve the problem. They all load without vital parts of the site such as tabs, links and correct formatting. Any suggestions?

    Most such brower/service combinations have a difficult time working with Flash-based apps and often fail completely. Flash videos are usually the most successful content these browers can handle. You can try the others apps - Puffin, iSwifter, etc - but you may find that none of them work, in which case you will not be able to use your iPad with these sites other than by using one of the various remote control solutions to take over a computer running the full Flash Player.
    IMHO, any developer that built a Flash application for a billing or job application site was an idiot, but I know that's out of the control of anyone but the relevant company.
    Regards.
