Tab between fields when editing song information

iTunes 10.4 removed the ability to tab between fields when editing song information. Is there another shortcut now?

Yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Actually the Tab sequence was reversed in 10.4. I'm upset that it took me until Septeber 2011 to figure it out. For the longest time, probably every release of iTunes. The Tab sequence went (Source-->Tab-->Search Music box-->Tab-->Tracks List)
Now it's the reverse and it's so annoying. I have both Mac and Windows and was able to downgrade my Windows iTunes to 10.3.x (though I had to downgrade to a previous iTunes Library.itl file. I cannot downgrade my Mac iTunes b/c it's my main library and I'd lose historic data by restoring and old iTunes Library.itl file
I've written to Apple about this several times the past few weeks but they've yet to address this. The latest version is 10.5 and it hasn't been restored. I WISH Apple would RESTORE this feature to its ORIGINAL design!!!

  • Slow tabbing between fields

    Hello,
    We have a very complex interactive form with repeating_subforms. We open it binding a large xml file. Tabbing between fields is very slow when we are editing the form.
    We have designed a simple form with one repeating_subform and without scripting. Bindig the same xml file, tabbing between fields is very slow too.
    How can we solve this problem?
    Here are the links to pdf file and to xdp file with the data.
    Thanking you in advance,

    Thank you for answering!

  • Edit song information.

    In ITunes 11 I am unable to edit song information. I need to
    a) add am album name for Italian audio books
    b) Add these and others to the Written word genre/ Chagne other genres.
    I am not interested in playlists at this time, please do not suggest. Just need to know if it is possible to change genre and add album info.
    AND
    In the change from 10 to 11 several Podcasts were moved to music. Is it possible to move them back to Podcasts.

    Highlight one or more tracks. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Edit away. If all the fields are greyed out you may have a permissions problem.
    Podcasts need an album name. If they don't have one that might explain why they've been "kicked out" of the Podcasts section. A previous build made tracks set to podcast with no album name apparently vanish from all areas of the library. Having set an album name you should be able to change the media kind to Podcast and have it stick. Might be best to set the genre to Podcast also.

  • Editting song information

    Hey guys.
    My problem is as written as the title, editting song information. I am unable to edit song information, such as lyrics, artist, etc. of my music files through iTunes. According to the other discussions, unchecking the "read only" option from the files in Window Explorer will enable me to edit the song information, but when I checked, none of my music files were marked "read only" in the first place!
    I'd be glad to hear any possible solutions, so please post below
    Information about my operating system is provided in the post.

  • Can't edit song information in itunes

    I suddenly have not been able to edit song information, using file, edit, get info.
    The areas to edit have been grayed out. Is there some setting i inadvertantly changed?

    I just switched over to a Mac
    This is the Windows forum.
    You should post in the correct forum here -> iTunes for Mac
    Anyway, select the \Music\iTunes\ folder, right click - get info.
    Make you you have Read and Write permissions.

  • "next" option missing when editing songs

    When editing songs I've added from other sources or things I ripped years go, I used to have the option to edit one song, then press "Next" and that would allow me to edit the next song in the album, or list I was working on. In iTunes 11, the option seems to be missing. I now have to edit a song, press "OK", then click on the next track and select "Get Info". Is there a way to re-enable this option? Making managing my library very tedious.

    Hi,
    Try editing in song view. It works as before but does not work in album view.

  • I can't edit song information the problem is not in all the items

    I can't edit the information of my songs like gnre, artist, etc... when I start to use itunes I had another computer, when I change of computer I decide to copy my library to a external hard disk, I don't know if this is creating the problem, will be great to receive help.

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows Vista/7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

  • Can't edit song information in ITunes library

    I've imported a CD as MP3's and am unable to edit the track information. When I right click a song and open "Get Info" the song information is visible but not editable. This is the first time something like this has happened and I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

    Since you say this is the first time it has happened, I assume you are going to the "Info" tab and not the "Summary" tab in the "Get Info" window? (That has confused me at times.)

  • Editting song information problems

    I am unable to edit the names of songs, artists etc. I always did it before by clicking once on the song name to select it, waiting a second or so and clicking again to highlight just the name and cause the cursor to blink so I could erase the name and type a new one. That doesn't work now, so I went to iTunes help and tried rightclicking and choosing Get Info. When I click on the info tab, the information is there but is faded out so I am unable to click on it to select it and change it. Not sure if I pushed a button on my computer that caused this to happen but it's definitely a possibility. How can I edit song names?

  • Itunes pause sorting while editing song information

    I am going through my song library and manually updating song information like genre, artist name, etc.  Is there a way to pause the live updating of the sorting list while I am doing this so that when I change the title of a song or the genre it doesn't automatically resort the list.

    No. Sort the list on a field you're not changing, or copy everything to a playlist, sort it the way you want it, right-click on the playlist name and click Copy to Play Order, then sort on the heading of the left-most column of number.
    Generally you'll want to assign all of the tracks from the same album the same genre. This is more usefully done with the multi-track get info dialog rather than one track at a time.

  • Issue when editing songs in "Get Info"

    Hi there!
    I've been having this issue for quite a while now. At first I was able to deal with it, but now it's getting pretty annoying.
    My issue is the two options to go to the next song or previous song have dissappeared when I'm editing songs in the get info tab. I have made sure that I am editing songs in an album, but the problem is still happening.
    The red circle is where the buttons usually are. I'm not sure if iTunes has taken these options away with the newer updates, or if I clicked something by mistake. If someone else had this problem and figured out how to fix it, it would be great if you could share how with me!
    Thanks,
    melongeee

    The buttons should be there. As a workaround do Alt+P and Alt+N still perform the Previous and Next functions?
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Shortcuts tab is missing when edit/modify the package

    Hi,
    1. at the end of package creation (before saving) I modified a shortcut icon and changed the icon name under Shortcuts tab
    2. deployed the package. Got the correct icon but the original app name, not a changed one.
    I thought that may be forgot change the name and decided to edit the package in order to verify and change (if necessary) the name of the shortcut.
    When edited I don't see the Shortcut tab at all.
    Sure I will try to resequence the app but would like to know what may cause Shortcut tab disappearance.
    Thanks.
    --- When you hit a wrong note its the next note that makes it good or bad. --- Miles Davis

    You Need to perform the step "Update Application in Existing Package" as the description said "Use this Option to edit shortcuts or FTA's of an existing package".
    You can also edit the shortcuts via the UserConfig.xml
    Best regards, Simon

  • Strange "code" in the Comments field when playing songs

    When I play some songs (probably 80% of my archive) iTunes generate some strange code in the Comments field. This is quite annoying, since I use the field to write additional info about the song, artist, location, whatever.
    Examples of such codes:
    " 00000244 00000000 000010B3 00000000 00022325 00000000 000057AD 00000000 00004E37 00000000"
    " 0000014C 00000151 00000551 00000580 0001119E 0001119E 00003C73 0000379B 0001D4D7 0001D4D7"
    and so on...
    How can I stop this generation of random numbers and letters in the comments field?
    null

    Ick.... Well, maybe you're right. I also turned off "let itunes keep things organized" at about the same time. Between turning off sound check, itunes organizing, and the WMP settings, I have never seen it happen again.
    I still think it was WMP, as I only open WMP rarely to listen to web clips and I noticed it had happened to some tracks I had not played in itunes for years, and it happened right after that WMP update. I'd had the sound check and itunes organization thing on for years.
    One thing we can agree on, it was totally random. No rhyme or reason to it, and I even noticed that it didn't even affect all the tracks on some albums.
    I just turned sound check back on, only on my Mac, because that is just my backup copy of files. We'll see if it hits again.
    edit-(it's determining sound volume on x of 393, weird, I have over 27000 tracks in my library)

  • IPod Touch won't sync/edit song information Windows 7 64

    I've experienced multiple problems after connecting my new Touch to my laptop. First, I think my computer was attempting to sync to the device, but my Touch remained unresponsive. I found that I was able to get the two to sync to each other if I disconnected my wireless mouse that was plugged into one of my usb ports while the sync was occurring. After getting past that first obstacle, I found that at some times, I would be able to sync music to my device through iTunes, but at the moment, I can't do so. After managing to place a few songs on the device, I attempted to change the information to a some tracks and change the album art, but after trying to apply these changes, I received a message saying that an unknown error had occurred (0xe8004006). I've spent the better part of two days scouring the internet to find a solution, but I've found nothing definitive. I've found suggestions that it could be something regarding the computer's usb. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, restoring my Touch (when that decides to work), updating my usb drivers, disabling usb enhanced host controller (as was suggested while I looked for a solution), and probably a few other things. But like I said, I've found nothing definitive. Any help would be appreciated.

    Having the exact same issue as the OP....really frustrating. I'm also using win7 64bit. I have tried reinstalling iTunes as well as resetting my iTouch back to factory.
    Whenever I try to sync my iTouch or add music I get errors such as:
    1) "Attempting to copy to the disk "My iTouch" failed. A duplicate filename was specified."
    2) "iTunes could not copy "[insert song title]" to the iPod "My iTouch" because an unknown error occured (-48)."
    3) "The iPod "My iTouch" could not be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
    4) "The iPod "My iTouch" cannot be synced. An internal device error has occurred."
    It seems as if all of these issues are related to people using 64bit win7. Any insight on how soon until this problem is fixed or alternative methods to add music to my brand new 32g iTouch would be much appreciated.
