ONE song refuses to change using Get Info

This one's a bit weird... I have one song that refuses to change even though I've modified the Artist name, tried to remove the artwork and change the genre. At first it shows the change (and even appears to have moved the file from one artist-name folder to the correct one). Then, I look back at the file and it's back where it was originally!
Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I've also noticed that the artwork wasn't full (the bottom half is all grey). I've actually tried deleting and reimporting the song but with the same result.
I did a quick search for this issue but didn't see any posts that looked like they addressed this. I don't use artwork, however my next try will be to add a different cover just to see if I can then make the changes stick.
I have over 25,000 songs that will keep the changes I make, why am I getting stuck on this one???

Ok, no idea why this kept happening in iTunes, but I was able to change the tags using a different audio program then import that version into iTunes and the changes stayed...

    5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

  • Updated tracks using Get Info but not updated on iPod

    Okay so I've been experiencing this problem for YEARS now and still no resolve.
    If I want to make a changes to a track already on my iPod using "Get Info" in iTunes the change seems to update on iTunes but when I go to my iPod the change hasn't been updated. I know some people mention syncing it but I manage my music manually and I never store my music on iTunes. I have too may tracks to store on my computer. I only use iTunes to transfer music to my iPod after that I delete it from iTunes.
    The only workaround I found is to delete the track from my iPod add it to the iTunes library make the changes there and then transfer it back to my iPod which is time consuming. I've found loads of threads on this dating as far back as 2007 but no definite solution.
    Has a solution been found yet?
    Thanks in advance.
    Note:
    iPod Touch 3rd Generation running iOS 5.1.1

    Thanks lllaass for the update.
    It used to work but it's been so long since it did I can't remember what year the problem first appeared. And I know it's not only me and surely Apple must be aware of this by now. What seems like such a small problem should have a solution/fix. I wouldn't mind but it's these little problems that keep cropping up and they are there for years with no resolution. It's just not good enough not when I think about how much I paid for my iPod.
    *If anyone who comes across this thread has a newer iPod and has the same experience, could you let me know.

  • Post ios5 update -- videos for ipad2 wont start after adding album art using get info

    this never happened w ios4. before, i could manually add posters on my movies using get info. but now, everytime i add posters the movie wont start. i wanna enjoy my movie playlist complete with movie posters/ cover art. do you experience the same prob?

    Just added new art to two albums in iTunes v7. One the old way (Google Images then a drag and drop) and the other asking iTunes to get it for me. Only the art that was added manually has moved over to the iPod, which is 5th Generation 30GB.
    It's not the worst thing in the world seems as I never had that art before anyways. I'm sure an update will be out soon it is a .0 release and I imagine they is lots of things under the hoot getting us ready for OS X 10.5.

  • Renaming the song title by right click -- Get Info. But no longer able to do so.

    I used to rename the songs in my iTunes from my PC while it was connecting to my iPhone by right click and Get Info. But I am no longer able to do that. When I right click, the Get Info part seems to be disabled for editing? Why is it so?

    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

  • After reinstalling, some of the songs in my library have 'get info' greyed out

    This is really bizarre and getting me really frustrated. Like so many other people apparently tonight I got a notice to update and it screwed up iTunes. So I uninstalled everything and reinstalled iTunes. I made sure that I saved my library beforehand and reinstalled iTunes exactly where it used to be, which is D:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes. Media folder has not changed, it is under my iTunes program folder in D:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes Media.
    After I reinstalled, I copied back my library file iTunes Library.itl, the Album Artwork and CD configuration folders in D:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes. Then I held the Shift key, restarted iTunes, selected my library file, and I was happy to see my library open again (and iTunes was working). All my settings have apparently been kept, including my Apple ID, CD import settings, etc...
    But what has changed however is that some tracks (but not all, which is weird) are now apparently 'locked', meaning if I select a song and do "get info" all the information is greyed out and cannot be edited. But it's not all tracks. A lot of tracks are fine and normal. Even weirder, sometimes it's tracks from the same album that are mixed: so within an album, I can edit some tracks, and not others, info is greyed out.
    This is really puzzling me and really ticking me off at the same time. It was working just fine last night. And now... my account has admin rights. I run Windows 7 64 bits, iTunes is 64 bits 11.1.4.62.
    Even weirder: some tracks that 5 minutes ago were greyed out are now OK. ??? Could it be that it takes a while for iTunes to scan everything again and make everything available for editing? My library is rather big (150 gigs)... Can anybody help? Thanks very much in advance.

    You need to find the file you want associated with that track.  It should be in a logical structure in your Media folder.  If you don't know how to find files or navigate the directories on your computer ask the IT person.  Once you have found the file iTunes may ask if you want it to find others, and if you're lucky it can.

  • Change All / Get Info issue. How to set which application  opens a file?

    Hello,
    I would like to be able to set which application opens a specific file, but cannot get the 'Change all' option in the get info to stick, or to have scvope beyond the immediate folder. For example: whenever I download an.xml file and try to open it the application it defaults to is 'Property List editor' - so I have to go into 'get info' and set the application that I want to use to open the file. Let's say - Textmate. That file will then remain set, for the length of that session anyway - but clicking 'Change all' will not mean that the next file downloaded will default to 'Textmate', or that any .xml files outside the folder will open in Textmate. I have to set them all manually, which gets to be a drag.
    I once had a little open source app. that I used to set the preferences as to which application opened a specific suffix - which worked with some, some of the time... but after a clean install I lost it - and can't remember what it was called. Anyway, it didn't entirely solve the problem, only lessened it.

    *Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind*
    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
    4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
    7) Close the get info window.
    I know that what I posted may have been what you have been doing, but wanted to double check.
    I don't know to what application you are referring but application/file type association is done by Launch Services. Potentially this can become corrupted. You can use Onyx (free) utility to rebuild LS, but in doing so you will lose all non-default associations.
    As with any problems, I would also make sure you have run disk utility to verify and repair your drive, and repair permissions on your computer, before doing any other actions. It's surprising what that can clear up. You can slo just try starting in Safe mode, then restarting normally and see if that helps.

  • How do I notify Apple of a software failure:  in Win 7 64 bit, using Get Info function causes iTunes 10.5 to fail and exit?

    I have Win7 64 bit running iTunes 10.5. When I import a CD and click on the "Get Info" context menu item for the CD drive item on the left side of the window, the expected context menu and input boxes appear. When I type anything into any of the available input boxes, iTunes immediately throws a fail exit to Windows. Here are relevant screen shots:
    Right click on CD Device item to get context menu:
    Click on Get Info menu item to open CD Info window:
    Key in "A" in Artist input box, get immediate failure:
    So far Microsoft hasn't notified me of any solutions to this failure.
    This info needs to get to Apple, but I am not paying to give them information to fix their problems!
    Thanks for passing this along.
    D. V. Hirst
    PS:  As a work around, I can highlight the entire CD worth of tracks and edit the common information in the Get Info function at that level...  Still, iTunes should not be throwing program failure exceptions in any case.  It is especially annoying on such common functions.  One might have expected a more thorough testing program prior to general release.

    Thanks for your response. I attempted to do that, but I couldn't find any way to access the configuration for the Zhone router. Typing the IP address into my web browser's address bar only resulted in "page could not be found" or "page timed out", etc. I called tech support at Northstate, who likewise suggested that the Zhone router should be set to bridge mode and the AEBS set to router mode since it would be easier for me to configure the AirPort. After wrangling a bit with them over my inability to change any settings for the Zhone, they sent a technician over. He messed around with the Zhone, apparently putting it in bridge mode, and we managed to get the AirPort to work without any double NAT errors. I reset the AirPort and created a new configuration file. Unfortunately, when I went to the Advanced/Port Mapping menu and repeated the original steps to forward port 7777, tests at www.whatsmyip.org still returned "timed out". The technician said he wasn't knowledgable enough about Apple products to assist me any further and suggested I call their tech support or visit the nearest Genius Bar. So that's about it. Any other ideas?

  • Can't tag a file even using get info

    Using Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.5 Want to tag certain .dng files. Some files have the tag button greyed out. Went to Get Info, won't allow tags there. File not locked. I have admin read/write priviledges.
    This is a local file not networked.
    What is going on - more importantly, how do I fix this?

    kajbj,
    you are right. It is not executing.
    I added one printing but no output.for(String rec : newLines){
                      StringBuffer buffer2 = new StringBuffer();
                     buffer2.append(rec);
                       System.out.println("test");// no printing here
                     buffer2.append("\n");
                     out1.write(buffer2.toString());
                     out1.flush();
               }but why?

  • Help! Strange things happen when I use Get Info command

    Hi, I have updated iTunes for 7.7.1, and since then a strange thing happen: whenever I pick a Smart Playlist, select a song and use the Command-I, the Get Info screen appears for a few seconds, and then the "Cancel" button is highlighted, as if I had clicked on it, and the screen is closed.
    Funny thing is that I am not clicking the "Cancel" button, but it happens automatically after a few seconds, and only with songs in the Smart Playlists. I haven't found a thing about it at the Discussion forums, can anyone help?

    In iTunes, right click on the file and Get Info.
    Make sure it is marked Remember Playback Position.

  • Name change in "get info"

    I changed my name while in finder> get info and lost all mail and safari info. When I try and change it back it says name already taken choose a different name. How do I get back to the original name

    Double-click the hard disk's icon in the Finder, and then open the Users folder. From here, rename folders so that the folder with your data has the name previously used by the folder with the house icon, log out, and log back in.
