Unable to update iTunes track information

So I recently got an iPod, and I decided to take my existing MP3's I have ripped over the years from my CD's and import them into iTunes and get my iPod loaded up.
Upon doing this, everything worked fine... I dragged and dropped my MP3's straight onto iTunes and let it sit for a few hours.
Now I'm trying to go in and fill in some missing/incorrect information on my files (add track info, number of discs in album, etc.) and I find that I am not able to on my older MP3's.
The MP3's say according to iTunes that they are version 2.3 of the ID3 tag. When I try to change one or multiple track information, it just simply doesn't change after I click OK.
I also noticed that I can't convert my ID3 tags when I choose the option. I get the message "Could not convert ID3 tags for all of the selected songs. The song may be write-protected or of the wrong type."
From what I can surmise, all of the MP3's I ripped a long, long time ago with MusicMatch are giving me the problem. I haven't used that program in ages. I was able to change song info with a rip of a CD which I believe was done by Windows Media Player.
How can I get these MP3's to work so I can change the song information in iTunes without going back through all my CD's and rerip them directly into iTunes? That would be a huge pain.
Thanks.
Andre

You'll want to right click on your "iTunes Music" folder (My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library\iTunes Music) and choose Properties. Once XP/Vista shows the property window, at the bottom of that window in the Attributes section. You want to clear out any checkmark or grayness in that and it will go through your music files and clear your read only attribute.
If that doesn't work, you'll want to look at the Security tab in that same box and make sure that the user you are logged in as has "modify" rights to the music files.

  • IPhone 4.0.1 unable to update iTunes/AppStore Billing Information (county)

    +*iPhone 4.0.1 unable to update iTunes/AppStore Billing Information: Prevents Purchasing/Installations*+
    ++When accessing the AppStore I am prompted to update my iTunes billing information. This process generates a loop when selecting the county and will not update. This prevents purchases or free downloads from the AppStore.++
    Details:
    +I have a new iPhone 4. When I received it I activated the phone, restored from back-up and updated the software to 4.0.1. After the software update was complete I tried to install Free and Purchased applications from the App store. I cannot install any free or purchased iTunes application, music, or video.+

    I select the county and select done the screen loops for the county information.
    *Things I have tried:*
    - Updated billing information via iTunes on the Mac (Updates successfully) - but will still prompt for updates on the iPhone.
    -Restarted iPhone (same)
    -Erased iPhone and activated as new without restoring from backup (same)
    -Contact iPhone support (no other advice then what happened here the first time) the second attempt at support has resulted in a call with iPhone and iTunes Support.
    I will post back my findings, but has anyone found a solution.

    The only difference I noticed was that the card that kept looping was a visa check card, verse a credit card (mastercard). I am not sure if there is a problem within the iPhone application. I don't believe this to be an iTunes or App store problem because the account profile will accept the card information via a computer. This problem seems to be within the address verification process the iPhone/app store does only on the iPhone platform. Apple support and iTunes support seems to be clueless. My original post is the only way I've gotten it to work.

    Yes there is!
    Despite its flashy features and not being a standard beige box, Apple's iPad is a computer just like a laptop or desktop. And, just like laptops and desktops, sometimes iPad apps freeze, and the iPad gets stuck along with them. To fix this, you need to reset the iPad.
    Begin by pressing the hold and home buttons at the same time. The hold button is the one on the top right corner of the iPad. The home button is the round one at the bottom center of the iPad's front
    Continue to hold these buttons until one of two things happen: either the screen will flash and go dark, or a red slider will appear at the top of the screen
    If the slider appears, you can slide it to the right to turn off the iPad (or tap the cancel button if you change your mind)
    When the iPad's screen goes dark, the iPad is off
    Restart the iPad by holding down the Hold button until the Apple icon appears. Let go of the buttons and the iPad reset will be complete.
    Resetting the iPad shouldn't normally cause you to lose and data or settings.
      These instructions apply to the following iPad

    I checked my Services console and Bonjour was started. I can also stop and start it without issue. I searched for these errors, but most of what I found was trouble getting the Bonjour service to start and as you can see, this is not my issue.
    I have also tried to update iTunes with Bonjour stopped and disabled and with my Eset NOD32 Antivirus software disabled, but neither of these steps made any difference. I do not have a third-party firewall on my PC, but I am using Windows firewall. I have also tried disabling the Windows firewall, but this made no difference.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    More information:
    Found this in the System log in Windows Event Viewer. There are many occurrences coinciding with the times I have been trying to update iTunes and/or Bonjour.

  • After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and itunes, it seems that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior..

    After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and my ipod (Classic 160gb) it would seem that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior to the original harddrive's failure for Tiger OSX 10.4.11
    Any ideas on the subject would be most helpful
    Thanks in advance
    Dingoh

    The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later.
    So, are you on version 9.2.1?
    Was it Tiger or Leopard you had on the drive before?
    iTunes 9.2.1 download...

  • I have been unable to update iTunes on my Windows PC.

    I have been unable to update iTunes on my Windows PC. An error message keeps coming up saying a .dll is missing. My daughter has experienced the same issue with her PC. No problems with my iMac or iOS devices. I thought I may have some corrupted files, so I deleted iTunes and attempted to download it. The same error message came up, and now I don't have iTunes on my PC.  Has anyone experienced a problem with an update of iTunes on a Windows based PC?

  • HT201210 Unable to update iTunes or Quick Time.  Message:  invalid signature

    I am unable to update iTunes because I receive the message "iTunes has an invalid signature and will not be installed."

    "+unable to delete older version of quick time" "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" "enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Quick Time.msi'".
    With those symptoms, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

    What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Unable to update iTunes - each time I get error message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." It cannot find the installation package "iTunes64.msi". Have tried various methods found on Apple Support to no avail. I think it might be something to do with uninstalling old versions of itunes - I can't seem to do this either, even using the Microsoft Fix it programme. I do not use a network.
