When I go to get info and start to type artist itunes freezes.

I've tried reloading itunes twice now, it still feezes. I've gone trhough the entire trouble shooting list for freeze ups, including system config, it still froze up. Is this a bug in the new version? Help!!!!!! I use get info all the time to do audio books so I can have them in itunes in a comprehendable order.

And what does this have to do with the iPhone?

  • When I download a movie from iTunes the cover art disappears. I try get info and add the art, it doesn't show up. So it's just gray. It opens and plays fine. Apple can't figure it out. It's an nas drive. When I use a firewire drive I get the art

    When I download movies from iTunes to my NAS drive, I don't get the cover art. It shows up while its downloading, but when it's finish it disappears. If it has an iTunes extra the cover art is there. I tried get info and add the cover art, it never shows. Regardless of how I add it. Funny thing is, if I download the same movie to my external firewire drive, no problem its there. I've called Apple with no success. I've even tried copying the movie with the art from the firewire drive to replace the file on then NAS drive I still loose the movie cover art. I also tried several times to re download it, no luck. Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
    In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

  • When I create a new email and start typing, I get an error after two characters

    This has been bothering me for months.
    When I create a new email and start typing, I get an error after two characters (see below). I thought maybe it was a particular person's contact, or it was because I typed too fast, but it is not. Doesn't matter what email address I use, or how long I wait, the first address errors and I have to erase it and start over. Sometimes I have to try several times.
    Very annoying. I am using the latest build of Safari on a Mac.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • I can't download Ikea 3D kitchen planner.  It's really frustrating - a message is appearing on my mac book pro that I ned to get info and check that various files are unlocked.  I've checked that all other requirements are fulfilled, still won't download

    I can't download Ikea 3D kitchen planner.  It's really frustrating - a message is appearing on my mac book pro that I ned to get info and check that various files are unlocked.  I've checked that all other requirements are fulfilled, still won't download.  Any help very gratefully received.  Thank you.

    Hi, I'm not really very good with computers and am having the same problems when trying to install the Ikea 3D kitchen planner, please could you take me through the steps?
    1. Download (save) the disk image file 2020PluginInstaller.dmg
    I double click on the link which says "Install 3D Planner"
    I agree to the t&cs
    A file downloads to my download folder called 2020PluginInstaller_IKEA.dmg
    2. Mount the disk image (open/run the downloaded file) if not mounted automatically
    I double click on the downloaded file
    3. Find the 2020PluginInstaller window (might be behind the window on top)
    A small window opens up with a lego brick called 2020PluginInstaller_IKEA.dmg and a folder called Internet plug ins.  I highlight the lego brick and do File, Get info and unlock it
    4. Drag the lego piece to the folder (if you do not have admin privileges you will be prompted to authenticate)
    I do this and put in a password to authenticate
    5. Restart the browser (it is not enough to close the browser window, you need to restart the browser
    application)
    I've tried restarting Safari, I've tried re-starting the computer
    6. Access the same link and you will now see the Start button and be able to start planning your room!"
    When I go back to the IKEA kitchen planner I don't see a start button, I just see the exact same screen as before prompting me to install the 3D planner
    Please can you help?

    I have an IMac.   I put a folder on the desk top and now want to delete it.  The folder seems to be locked.  I went into Get Info and attemted to unlock the folder and delete it.  Won't go away.   There is nothing in the folder.   How do I unlock this folder and delete it?   When I try to delete it, I'm asked for my password which I put in and is accepted, but will not delete the folder.  Any help would be great.

    If you are sure there is nothing in it, download trashit, a useful free app.   That will dispose of it.

  • How do I get albums out of "compilations'?  On one of my machined I can go to individual songs, "get info" and uncheck "part of a compilation", but that does not work on my office machine.  I would also like to be able to do this in  a group for an album,

    I don't know how so much of my music got lost by being labled "compilations"?  I would like to go back and catagorize it as it should be but the screens are gray and will not let me alter them as to the catagory I wish them to be in (or even the genere they are already labled?  On my home machine I can (by individual song) "get info and uncheck "part of a compilation" and when this is finished the album goes to the genere as it is listed?  Frustrating bit of hous keeping.  Help and Thanks  Chuck

    The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
    You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.

  • I can no longer change my song names like i used to. i use to be able to right click and go to "get info" and then change the song name, artist and album, now i can't is there any other way to change the songs name and info

    When I get songs and put them on my itunes accout on my computer I used to be able to rename them right clicking, going to "get info" and then renaming everything I wanted like song name, album and artwork. I also use to be able to click on the song then click and hold on it and be able to rename it. But all the songs I have gotten after the last update have not been able to be renamed in any of the old ways I use to be able to. Is there any other way to rename songs because I know I can't undo updates and that seems to be whats causing it.
    Thankyou for your time

  • I am living in moscow, but i have a mastercard in vietnam. I changed my location in itunes from Russia into Vietnam. But when I change my billing info, and write my card's informations. It said I have problems with the address. I typed my address in VN.

    I am living in moscow, but i have a mastercard in vietnam. I changed my location in itunes from Russia into Vietnam. But when I change my billing info, and write my card's informations. It said I have problems with the address. I typed my address in VN. What should I do now ????

    To answer the second question first, the owners of the music (and that is not Apple) decide where their music can be sold. If they decide (for whatever reason) not to sell their music in a particular country, they will not let a music retailer (that is Apple this time) sell it in that country. So the "system" is beyond Apple's control.
    As for your first post; (if I understand you correctly), the iTunes Store knows that you are in Russia, so using a credit card registered in Vietnam is simply going to look like you're trying to get round the system.
    The credit card is tied to an address, and therefore to a country. Simply using a different country's address is not going to work.
    By the way, this is a world-wide situation. It's not a matter of having to use a Russian card, whatever card you use has to be registered at an address in Russia.
    Use the support link in the iTunes Store to contact Apple and see if you can straighten out whether you can buy songs, where ever you are and with whichever card you have.

  • "Get Info" and change permissions

    Since I installed Leopard – when I create a file in PhotoShop and save it. When I go to reopen it – it will not let me. I have to go to “Get Info” and change permissions to “read and write” to everybody each time. I also have to from time to time have to go to “Get Info” in application and change permissions to get them to boot. Is there a fix?

    Where are you saving these files? When you open an Info Window to the file you just created in Photoshop, what names are listed? The top entry should be your username with Read&Write privs. The middle entry should be either staff, (unknown) or your username with Read Only privs. The last entry should be everyone with Read Only privs.
    Also, save a file to your Desktop (name it foo) and see if the problem still happens. If it does, launch Terminal and type:
    ls -lde ~/Desktop
    ls -le ~/Deskop/foo
    paste the spew from that into a reply and we'll try to see whats going on.

  • Finder crashes when I attempt to "get info" on a file

    My finder crashes when I try to "get info" on a file by clicking Apple-I. Any suggestions for how to proceed?

    Still having the problem; any suggestions for how to fix it? I've run Onyx, Tech Tool Pro and Disk Utility.

  • How do I change the desktop Icon for an external hard drive?  I have gone to "Get Info" and tried dragging and dropping  several formats of pictures and the icon changes to the generic image of that file type.

    how can I change the desktop icon for an external hard drive.  Using LaCies and Dimple hard drives.

    One of the things I've found with OS X (at least with Snow Leopard, which is my first excursion into OS X), is that all too often the thumbnail displayed on a file, whether a file created or one downloaded, is a false thumbnail. That is, when you do a Get Info on the file the icon in the upper left is the generic icon for that file type, rather than the thumbnail displayed in Finder. Makes it a bit difficult to copy.
    Apparently Finder uses Preview in the background to generate the displayed thumbnail without actually creating one.
    What I've resorted to doing, particularly with graphic images, is to process them with GraphicConverter - I have its prefs set to automatially add thumbnails and previews. With an individual file this means opening it in GC and doing a Save As. However, a much easier and faster way is when there are two or more such files; I put them in a common folder and drop the folder onto GC. GC then opens them in a catalog view, in the process adding real thumbnails and previews to each automatically. Doesn't take long to do several hundred files that way.

  • Trying to sync audiobooks, that are listed in music by hitting "get info" and trying under options to pick audiobooks. The dropdown menu only shows books, and they will not sync to my IPad

    Trying to sync audio books to my ipad. I downloaded audiobooks to my itunes on my computer, but the only thing that shows up is books. It will not sync to my iPad.  They are listed under music and when I hit "get info" and options, the only option it gives me is books.

    OK, found my answer to Problem 2:  I need to upgrade my OS to 10.7.4 or higher.
