Unable to Edit any information on songs in Itunes Library

I have a number of songs that I brought into ITunes that I cannot seem to rename. I try clicking on a title to rename it and nothing happens I try to GET INFO and edit fields that way and it box is completely GRAYED out.
Has anyone else experienced this.
Thanks.

When this happens, it is usually because the song files are set to "read only". If that is the cause of the problem in your case, you will need to locate the song files and change the read-only flag.

    i just updated my itunes and now I am unable to open any of my songs... please help me. Every time i click it, it says it cannot be read because it was made by a newer version of itunes.

    Try resetting the Nano with it still connected to a high powered USB 2.0 port on your PC. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Unable to edit any old entity in Data Modeler

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem with Data Modeler 2.0.0.584 on Win XP. If you came across similar issue, please let me know how you solved it.
    I have a logical model created several weeks ago. I can open the model without any errors, but I am unable to edit any object - when I double click on entity or relationship, the text in the property window is grayed out and I cannot change anything. I cannot change entity properties, nor add/change attributes.
    The strange thing is that I can create a new entity or relationship, but once the object is created I cannot edit it.
    I have checked that all files in the model folder are set as read/write but it did not solve the problem. At this moment I have no idea what else to check.
    Thanks for any suggestion or help.
    Regards,
    Jakub

    Thanks, that works!
    - save as into another directory
    - close Data Modeler
    - start Data Modeler
    - open the model from the new location
    - and voila! I can edit all the entities!

  • When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

    When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
    It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
    I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
    As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
    I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Sarah

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

  • Deleting a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0

    how do i delete a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0 at the same time.

    Hello CleveCo, Inc
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    At some point in time, you may have selected the option to prevent that dialog from appearing again when trying to delete tracks from your library. To reset all of iTunes warning dialogs, click the Edit drop down menu and choose Preferences from the list (on a Mac it is *iTunes -> Preferences* ). When the window pops up, head over to the Advanced tab and click the *Reset Warnings* button. Then quit iTunes and relaunch it. That do the trick for you?

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • When adding songs to Itunes library, itunes stops working

    When adding songs to itunes library it stops wokring and itunes closes.

    I'm having the exact same problem and I came to this forum seeking the answer.
    To go into more detail, the problem occurs when you click on 'Add File to Library', then select multiple songs from a folder using the CTL key. You can add tracks individually with no problem. Use CTL to choose two or three tracks, that works fine, too. But if you choose more than that, nothing gets added to the Library.
    If I had to guess, I'm thinking it might have something to do with the total number of characters allowed (on the selected tracks) before the 'Add to Library' pop-up form basically fails to work properly. I've also noticed the magic number of selected tracks to be somewhere in the 3-4 range before it doesn't work.
    It definitely feels like a software bug and I've experienced it in more than one version of iTunes, including the current release. I'm hoping Apple will recognize and fix it sometime soon. Having to go into the same folder three or four times to import 10 or more tracks from the same album is pretty irritating.

  • Unable to add, drag/drop, or import to iTunes library.

    My sister and I each have a MacMini. I tried to transfer files from my PC to the MacMini by transferring to the Mac's harddrive (no problem here).  For some reason I am unable to import the xml file to the iTunes library, none of the import options including drag and drop works.  Nothing happens.  My sister was able to perform on the task on her MacMini with no problem.  We've compared the preference files to no avail.  Although, I've figured out another way of transferring the file, I still would like these features to work.  What do I need to do?  I have the current version of iTunes 10.5.  
    Thanks

    Try these steps.
    1. Turn off all the devices in the chain in this order: MBPr, any wireless routers on the network, the internet modem.
    2. Wait several seconds after turning off the last item then power them back on in reverse order waiting for each device to completely power up before turning on the next device.
    Let us know how it works.

  • Just got iphone 5-only syncs a few songs from itunes library. some songs on ipad. would like them all on new iphone

    Please help!  I have a new iPhone. Have some songs from iTunes library on iPad and only a few transferred to new phone when synced. Tried deleting songs from iPad and they went to iCloud.  So now I have songs in iCloud on iPad and some songs on iPhone. Help! I want ALL iTunes library on new phone.

    I hope I'm not too confusing--to clarify: I have iTunes library on the computer. When I got the iPad, most of them transferred to that. I read somewhere on here how to delete those songs and they are now 500+ songs in iCloud...I think. Tried putting the iTunes library onto new iPhone 5s a few days ago and only 149 out of 1100 songs transferred. HOw can I get my whole library from the computer to my new phone?  I don't need them on my iPad.

    To connect my ipod to itunes with windows 8 not see the option to add to add songs from itunes library. As I can solve this?

    Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

    Your itunes library should be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • Creating MP3 formats with songs in iTunes library

    How can I Rip with Microsoft Media Player songs in itunes library without burning them to CDs? I want to do it by jump drive and have album art and song titles and other info so I can download them by jump drive to my car's hard drive.

    Sounds like you might know an answer. I want to import/store my cd music ONCE - preferably in itunes for the playlist ability. But when I import in iTunes from CD, I can only create audio CD. iTunes does not allow me to create an mp3 cd. I don't want to import/copy twice in two formats so I can create either audio CD or mp3 cd. With a windows based non iTunes program, I could do this easily - import once; create cd's in different output formats. The only problem was I didn't have the nice playlist capability. Am I wrong thinking iTunes is supposed to make it EASIER to import, store, and rearrange my collection?
