Some songs won't add artwork so I need ID3 Tags but ID3 isn't in popup menu

When I Get Info on a track I get this menu but
there's nothing for Change ID3 tags. Should
there be or am I in the wrong place?

I assume adding artwork is a tag-affecting change - but I can't
add on this track - it just reverts to the black image.
I take it the tags themselves are hidden. I see no direct
editing options for them although I read than they can be
set to different types - and there are utilities available to
clean, fix, re-set, etc.
Ok, now I see your edit - this isn't an mp3, it's .aiff.

Can't modify or change song information or add artwork.

I have been having trouble with iTunes since updating to the latest version. I keep my music on an external drive due to the library size. I had to create a separate iTunes folder and music folder to keep on the external drive. I also had to manually delete thousands of duplicates that were in those folders. Now, when I import songs from a dvd, I can't change the song information or add artwork (not modifiable), but I could before doing the above changes. Can anyone help?

Did you ever find an answer?
I am having the same issues. All of a sudden I can not make changes to file names/artwork on music/movies stored on my external usb drive.
Copying a file, that won't let me make changes to it, to the desktop and comparing permissions shows the exact same permissions.
Files stored on the internal HD have no issues with making changes.
Like I said, this all of a sudden started happening. This is happening even on my home movies that I digitized and backed-up on the external usb drive. I used to be able to make changes, add artwork, etc right up until sometime in late AUG or early SEPT. Now I am left with some files with artwork and a lot without.

Missing songs / won't add or import files / corrupt id3 tags?

Hey Folks,
I can't seem to get some songs/files to add or import to itunes...
My computer crashed while itunes was open. When I rebooted the itunes library was corrupted and all playlists and songs were missing.
... no problem...
I'll just add the itunes folder right... Which is what I did.
Problem is now a good 20% of the songs are missing. They are on the harddrive in the itunes music folder, but won't import or add to itunes.
I suspect maybe it has something to do with corrupt ID3 tags?
Anyone know the answer to this mystery?
Thx

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not seem to be related to. Is your question concerning iTunes Match or syncing with iTunes via USB?

Some of the albums in the Beatles package I downloaded from itunes will not sync with my iPhone 5. Some songs won't play. They did sync to my iPad and they all play on my iPad. What can I do? I've already deleted all songs from the iPhone and re-synced.

I downloaded the entire Beatles collection from iTunes in 2011. Some songs skip and won't play. Some albums won't sync to the phone but they sync to my iPad. I've deleted the entire music library from my iPhone, shut the phone down, turned the phone on and synced again to add the music but now 2 albums won't even sync (Rubber Soul and Revolver). I've tried dragging the songs to the iPhone, no luck. Any thoughts?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

Songs won't add

This one band (killwhitneydead) won't add to iTunes for some reason. They're the only songs that won't add. I've tried dragging and dropping, adding files, adding folders etc.
Any reason for this?

Bumpage.

When i add some songs they dont add and another thing

when i add some songs the space amount will sometimes jump from eg. 12.45 to 12.51 and the file size is only 4mb. than after that it will jump back down to 12.46 and continue like nothing has happened. than i go to listen to some songs old/new on itunes or my ipod and on itunes it shows ! which i know means its gone but i dont know how and on the ipod it goes on it but skips. any help thanks

If I understand you correctly, iTunes is not transferring songs to your iPod. Before you sync again, make sure that the selections you want transferred are selected (by clicking the box next to each selection from your library in iTunes). Also try this, when your ipod is connected, click it under devices and select 'Music'. Then make sure 'Sync Music' and 'All Songs and Playlists' are selected. Good luck

Won't add artwork

I posted earlier that the artwork button was dimmed. Now I find that even if it is not dimmed I cannot add artwork to some albums. I imported a CD I had bought, and it did not import the artwork.
I have spend hours adding artwork and I had artwork for every tune and album, but now some of it is gone and can't be readded. What is wrong?

Some songs won't copy to Ipod from Itunes

Hello all,
A bunch of songs won't transfer to my ipod and I can't figure out why...
Exact message: "Some of the items in the Itunes Library, including "..." were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod" Then it says there are "101 problems - see below"
I counted the tracks, there are actually 63. (My library has about 6000 tunes.)
I've recently upgraded to buy the new DRM free songs, but I don't see the connection.
I checked the Kind, Sample Rate, and Bit rate and there doesn't seem to be any differences between these and others.
I converted the songs to mp3-192s, trashed the originals, still won't transfer.
I still have 10GB of space left on my iPod, so it's not a space issue.
Most are songs I purchased in the I-tunes store.
The only thing these songs have in common is that they all were loaded in the same session.
They were on my iPod before I upgraded to 7.2
I'm on a G4 laptop, OS 10.4.9 1.67 PowerPC.
Running I-Tunes 7.2
Video iPod version 1.2.1

I was shocked to see your post. I was just about to paste this new thread:
After updating iPod software to 1.1.3 for my nano 8GB, there are 101 songs that iTunes refuses to sync to the nano, saying:
Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Great Escape", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod.
When I use the disclosure triangle to see details, all songs give the same info, for example:
"Multiply" was not copied because the file type is not supported by the iPod "My iPod".
But these are all just MP3 files. Some, if not all, of them were purchased in the iTunes store, then burned to a standard CD (aiff?), then later reloaded. They've all been played before on this iPod. I still have the original protected song files filed away, and I could pull them out, but I shouldn't have to do that. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks.
--Scott
Sully, I think it is an odd coincidence that we both have "101 problems". I thought this was an iPod problem at first, but I have reset the iPod and started all over. The problem persists. I think the problem is in iTunes. In my case at least, there seems to be a list of m4p files within iTunes that were on this iPod before, files that i have replaced with regular mp3 files now, and iTunes doesn't want to copy over them. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Some songs won't display on ipod

I figure this seems more like an itunes syncing issue than an actual ipod problem, so I'll post it here...
It would seem that some songs under certain artists will not display in my ipod. This occurs when some songs are listed as being from one album, and the others are not tagged as being from an album at all. When I click the artist, it proceeds directly to the menu for that one album, skipping the screen which would normally give me the option to click "all". This problem does not occur when there is more than one album listed for that artist.
Example:
Song A - Album A
Song B - Album A
Song C
Song D
Song E
My ipod will only display the songs on Album A, giving me no access to the "All" menu and consequently no access to any songs which are not labelled as being on a specific album.
This problem does not occur with the following scenario:
Song A - Album A
Song B - Album A
Song C - Album B
Song D
Song E
In this case, I would get the select album menu, at which there would be an option for "All," giving me access to the songs which are not tagged as being on an album.
Is this a bug, or are my settings screwed up?

Not completely certain what you are trying to describe, but the first thing I would look at is your mp3 tags.
Both iTunes and the iPod are very sensitive to incorrect mp3 tags.
In iTunes 7 you now also have album artist as well as artist, if I were you I would select the middle view in iTunes 7 (the one which gives you a small picture next to the artist) and just see how your artists and albums are arranged.
After upgrading to iTunes 7, I had to spend about two hours organising album artists and compilations, this was never an issue before v7.
Once this is done your music should display on your iPod correctly.

So I have purchased every song on the Up All Night album by One Direction but it isn't showing up as Purchased in the iTunes store and it isn't saying that I can download the iTunes LP...help!

I bought every single song on the Up All Night album by One Direction, but iTunes is not showing the album as purchased when I'm in the iTunes store. It doesn't even have the complete my album option. It's showing as full price and I don't want to pay $12.99 just so that I can have the iTunes LP. However, I do really want the iTunes LP. What do I do?

Then you need to click the link below and fill out the email form to the itunes store about the issue

Song won't add to my library on Itunes 11

I've added songs to my itunes but they won't show up in the library. I can play them from the "Recently Added" playlist but the library has no idea they exist. Any help would be great

Unless you add by dragging a file to the "Automatically Add To iTunes" folder, iTunes places a copy of the file in the correct folder and leaves the original where it was.
It is quite possible the movie was added to iTunes but did not contain internal labels or tags. It may be in your home movies area in iTunes (I am talking about the application, not folder structure) but with some generic label.
Do not move iTunes files and folders about in Finder. iTunes does not label according to that. You will just cause iTunes to lose the link to the file ( ! ). You need to find the file in iTunes (have you looked in "Recently Added"?) and change the labeling there by getting info on the file.

Some songs won't download or play from iCloud

So I recently subscribed to iTunes Match to convert about 700 old songs from Protected AAC 128kbps to the DRM free 256. Anyway most of it went over just fine (besides iTunes crashing 20 times while uploading to Match), I converted almost all my old songs to new "Matched" versions, but about 45 songs got stuck and are "grayed out". I can't download or play them. Here is an example:
[IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/jumpinstocktoyotas/itunesissue.jpg[/IMG]
Rest of the album downloaded fine but that song is stuck. Almost every album that I "matched" has at least one song like this.
Please help! I am getting very tired of all the issues with my apple products. These stuck songs, album artwork disapearing, play counts reseting, albums not grouping together properly, iTunes crashing while uploading to Match, my iPod touch crashing while listening to music... About to drop apple all together.
PC is Windows 8 64bit, iTunes is version 11.0.2.26.
Thank you.

Think I found a clue, I backed up all my DRM protected files before I started incase something like this happened. For some reason the songs that won't match are showing as purchased by my brother, but I know this isn't possible. Look at the link to the pic below, The first track (on top) is showing purchased by my brother, but the entire rest of the album is shwowing purchsed by me. So I'm supposed to believe that he bought one song on the exact same day at the exact same time as I bought the rest of the album? Something is off here...
http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh541/two250/itunesissue2_zps8ef2ead3.jpg
Many albums are doing this, showing one song being bought a different account as the rest of the album, even though time a date purchsed lines up exactly...

Some songs won't load onto my iPhone 4 D:

Please, I put about 300 songs in my iphone
they all got sync., but when I want to add some more, they won't ''load'' in it; the little circle isnt fulled like the other songs did. I have enough space in my phone, and I already tried to put away all the songs and put them back. I closed my phone many times, and my computer too. I'm almost raging. help me.

Hello lightninghbolt
Try to remove the tracks from your iPhone by unchecking the Sync Music in the Music Tab within iTunes. You can also Drag and drop the tracks to your iPhone to get them to sync as well. It is also a possibility that you may just need to convert the songs to a different format and sync as well. Check out the articles below for all the steps need to troubleshoot.
