TS1717 get info screen in ITunes locks up

Whenever I choose the "get info" button in ITunes 11.0.2.26 it freezes and I have to use task manager to shut the program down. All I wanted to do was to rename the artist and song name. Why is this happening??

Well something different happened! I plugged in my iPod while iTunes was open, and after letting it just sit for about an hour, it unfroze it'self. However, iTunes did not recognize the iPod...until about another hour later. I was able to sync 3 CD's worth of songs(over the corse of 2 1/2 hours) and then it just sat saying it was finishing the sync. I got up to let it do it's thing and came back about 30 min later, to find it saying it was starting the sync. After it had finished, I disconnected, unplugged, and looked at my iPod. I had 2 of the CD's I had checked off for it to sync, and about 12 that I had told it not to sync. (I only had OK'd 3 CD's so as not to over whelm the system)
I also have automatic sync turned off, but apperently that doesn't matter because as soon as I plugged back in, it went into a sync. I let it it for a bit again, and when I came back to it it wasn't showing my iPod being connected, even though the screen on my iPod said it was connected. Well after a few more hours of just letting it sit hoping iTunes would catch up like it (kind of) had been all day, I came back to a pop up window saying iTunes didn't recongnise the divice and gave me the option to force a dismount. I clicked that and big surprize...nothing happened. I ended up haveing to (yet again) close iTunes up through task manager. Oh and even though I hadn't restored my iPod, it wiped it all over again, so the little bit I had on there earlier in the day was once again gone.
I will point out, I never once had any problems before the latest update, and watching the other discussions, I know I'm not the only one having these and other problems.

  • Unable to Edit "Get Info" Screen

    After hardware failure had to rebuild comp but the drive holding all my media is intact. After rebuild, installed latest ver of iTunes. Selected "Add folder" menu option to allow iTunes to recognize that folder and reset iTunes to use this folder for its default location going forward.
    However, it seems as I have lost my organization where the individual files for a particular show for example would show up under a single a common cover art and such "TV" shows would be in the correct location. Everything is under "Movies" and when I selected "GET INFO" everything on the screen is intact but greyed and I am no longer able to edit this information.
    Any NEW items I add however that had not been previously in iTunes or part of the "ADD FOLDER" request show up with the "GET INFO" screen fully editable.
    How do I unlock the "GET INFO" screen?

    Here's what I did to "unlock" all the files. In the directory containing the media files I changed one show' extension fm .m4v to .mp4 and attempted the add files menu selection. When the episodes showed up in "movies" category window, I found the greyed out "get info" window now active for editing. I selected the entire sequence of episodes and assigned them to "TV SHOW" under options. These parked themselves properly organized under the single cover art (where before each episode would not group and listed each episode separately using the same cover art in each instance.
    When I went back and imported the next set of files, everything was free to edit so again, without understanding the reason for this lack of or access to the ability to edit the "get info" window, unable to point anyone the reason but am able to offer the workaround experience.

  • I can no longer delete lines on the get info screen

    I'm trying to delete the artist on the get info screen. Until a few days ago, I was able to do so.  Now, when I delete the artist, the get info screen appears as if the line has been deleted. However, when I click "OK" then close the screen, it hasn't been deleted.  When I reopen the screen, that info is still there. I'm not doing anything differently that I did before.  Is this a software issue in the latest version of iTunes?

    Try going to settings> general> usage> storage> manage storage> look for the app and delete it from there.

    I have Prem. Elements 12.  I am trying to add audio media.  I know where the audio files are located (using GET INFO while in iTunes), and when I try to add certain audio files, some are accepted and some are not.  In one case, when I opened a particular folder, the song was not listed, even tho' the song is there when using Windows Explorer.  This happens with mp3 and mp4 and just wav files.  Some audio are accepted, most are not.  I get that codec is not installed error message, too.

  • In the get info screen the HD drive is lock, can not boot the computer

    I can not boot my imac.  In the Get Info window the Hard Drive has no access marked for everyone and a  minus sign on the hard drive.  How can I get around this??

    Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name), and run Repair Permissions (not Repair Disk.) Then reboot as usual. That will undo the worst of the damage. You may need to reinstall some of your third-party software.

  • 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?

  • I can no longer edit in "Get Info" since downloading iTunes 11.2.2.3. Please help.

    Since downloading 11.2.2.3 I can no longer edit info or add album artwork to any music I add to my library that hasn't been bought through iTuens. It will allow me to make changes on the "Get Info" section but when I hit OK nothing happens. Anybody got a solution?

    Check your settings under Edit > Preferences > Advanced. Is the correct media folder location shown, and is Keep... ticked?.iTunes only rearranges content inside the iTunes Media folder if the Keep... option is enabled, and it only offers to send to the recycle bin when deleting things located inside the media folder.

  • How to "Get Info" in the iTunes Store

    In the usual part of the iTunes Store, you cannot "Get Info" about media, but there is another section where you can. First, find out the item's Genre or Category.
    If it is Music, find out the Artist and Album.
    If it is an Audiobook, find out the Author/Narrator.
    If it is a Music Video, find out the Artist.
    If it is a TV episode, find out the TV Show and the Season.
    Go to the iTunes Store. Scroll to bottom. There are 4 columns. Under the 2nd column, Features, choose Browse. Choose the media type (Movie, Music, etc). Choose the Genre or Category. Next:
    if Music:
    Choose All for a Subgenre. Choose the Artist. Choose the Album. Right-click on the desired song, and choose "Get Info."
    if Movie or App:
    Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if Audiobook:
    Choose the Author/Narrator. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if Music Video:
    Choose the Artist. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if Podcast:
    Choose All for a Subcategory. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if TV show:
    Choose the TV Show. Choose the Season. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."

    One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this?
    In the search field in your Vista start menu, type cmd
    Next, right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".

  • "i" button not appearing for descriptions added through get info screen

    All movies and tv shows purchased from iTunes show a little gray "i" button in the description field. Clicking it opens a popup with the same text shown in the description field using get info.
    If I add my own movie or tv show and add a description into the same field, no "i" button is shown as the downloaded content, although the text is in the same field.
    The strange thing is, when I use the tagging software MetaX, I can enter the same description info, and after writing tags and importing to iTunes, the description field will show the "i" button.
    This behavior is obnoxious to say the least. There must be some sort of flags in the meta data that are not being set properly, as other tagging apps besides iTunes create the right behavior.

    Are you properly signed in to the same Apple ID on iTunes as you are using on your iPhone and iPad?
    If not, sign in using iTunes' menu (under Store).

  • Ipod nano: do not disconnect, ipod screen on itunes locked

    My ipod nano was working fine originally but now, the ipod screen on itunes has a little padlock by the remaining disk space bar and all of my music is not available to click on which means it wont let me delete anything. I would be grateful if anybody could point me in the direction to fixing this. Thanks

    In iTunes preferences, iPod section, do you have iTunes currently set to automatically update the nano's music playlists when connected?
    This setting will cause iTunes to 'lock' the iPod in the way that you are seeing as it is managing the iPod's contents for you and does not expect you to delete stuff yourself. Selecting the manual update option in iTunes / iPod preferences will remove the 'lock' - just depends on your preference as to how automated you want the iTunes / iPod synchronisation to be.

  • How do I get to the Get Info screen in Firefox 20?

    I wish to start Firefox in 32 bit mode. Previously in version 18 this was done by selecting File > Get Info > Open in 32 bit mode > Close Firefox

    On a Mac, Firefox 4 versions and later are a 64 bit application (i386/x86_64 universal binary).<br />
    If you have plugins that only work in 32 bit mode then you need to start Firefox in 32 bit mode to use such a plugin.
    Don't you see "Open in 32-bit mode" ?
    Can you attach a screenshot?
    *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
    You can use these steps to start Firefox in 32 bit mode:
    # Close Firefox
    # Start the Finder and open the Applications folder
    # Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
    # Select "Get Info"
    # Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
    # Close the "Firefox Info" window
    # Restart Firefox

  • Macbook just getting grey screen after Itunes update

    I have a macbook that won't boot up. It was updating some software, Itunes included and required a restart. Well, it never restarted, just a grey screen. Is this a known issue? I know my macbook is just out of warranty (of course). Is apple doing anything about this or is this just my computer? Please help, I'm freaking out!

    A grey screen (no Apple logo) on startup, be it after an update or not is typically an indication of hardware failure on the machine. It's possible that the update "broke" a startup file, which would prevent you from booting into the OS but typically if that were the case the machine would get further into the startup sequence.
    Do you have access to the system restore discs that came with your computer? If so, put the first one in, restart the computer and hold the "option" key. Are you presented with icon(s) that look like a HD or CD-ROM?

    I am no longer able to access my purchased content via iTunes through the 'Purchased' quick link that usually provides access to all purchased content (e.g. films, tv shows, muic, etc), although instead I am presented with a blank screen. I have tried re-installing iTunes, although this didn't help, however someone else logged on through my mac using iTunes and was able to see there content. I can see my content in the cloud via my other apple mobile devices, but not itunes.....
