Why can't I edit song titles and stuff?

Has anyone had the problem with iTunes where you go to edit the song title/artist/album cover and when the window for it comes up another window comes up that says iTunes has stopped responding? It's been doing this for like the past month can someone please explain on how to fix it?

Why can I not edit song titles and artists as I could in the past?

Why can I not edit song titles and artists as I have in the past?

Do you mean by using the 'get info' function and editing the data there? What is happening instead of what used to happen?

Why can't i edit song info on iTunes

I just installed itunes 9 on to my new computer. All my music/movies is on an external hard drive. After importing every thing i noticed i could not edit info for ANYTHING. The files are not read only and i've check the permissions and that is fine.

Would you care to share it with the rest of us? It's driving me crazy that there are about 3 of the last 25 songs I added that I can't edit the artwork or anything for!

Why can't I edit song information? How do I fix this?

I just upgraded to the latest itunes version and with songs that have been added since that time, I cannot edit the info for the songs. Any ideas?

Change it in iTunes, not on the iPhone. Then sync the iPhone to transfer this new info to the iPhone.

Why can't i edit song

I have the latest iTunes version & purchased a new iPhone 4S. When transferring song, I want to edit the info, but on the Library in the iPhone, it's locked. How can I unlock this to make the changes I want to?

Why can't I edit bookmark titles or move them to folders on the Apple Air?

I just bought an Apple Air after being a longtime PC user. My bookmarks got synched to the Apple by Xmarks, the Firefox app. Although I can use the bookmarks without problem, I can't move them, and this is particularly frustrating since I can't get them to where I want from the "newly bookmarked" tab. I also cannot edit the name of the bookmark when that option is available in the window that opens when I click on "bookmark this page" on Firefox. (I'm using Firefox 3.6).
Other than that the bookmarks work to get me to the desired site/page.Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

What broadband modem/router are you supplied with? Does it have built in wifi?
From your no 5, if there is no guest network then the TC is setup in bridge. This will remove the function of guest .. whatever Apple was smoking when they dreamed up this idea.. they need to stop it.
What I need is the IP address you are getting on the TC WAN if it is in router mode.. and the IP your iMac and air gets. I want router and dns values as well?
When the iPad or iPhone attempts to connect, what IP does it get.. plus router and dns.. it is the later two that are often the problem.
I would have a go at simply resetting the TC.. change the wireless name for 2.4ghz to short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. and fix the wireless channel. Check what is available as Korea is not in my normal range.. 1, 6, 11 are pretty well universal though.. Try each of those channels.
Load istumbler onto the Air and see if you have thousands of wifi AP's around you.. find the lowest single channel out of the above.. do not worry too much about the inbetween ones.. they simply overlap.

Why can't I read Japanese characters on song titles and artists on my itunes

For some reason all of my Japanese songs titles and artists are in this random jumbled text, and I was wondering if anyone can help me fix it.

Sorry. I think you misread me. I know you said the software upgrade messed me up and I agree. It was Kobo Support who said the ebook/library book that caused the problem. When I called Kobo Support to see if they had a fix they told me it was my library's problem. I kept going back to the software upgrade and all the trouble shooting I had done - including the paperclip in the back - but the tech just kept getting me to do the same things over and over. You were spot on that they would try to place the blame on something other than their upgrade but they didn't blame ADE. The tech didn't have any new suggestions . I eventually gave up on her and took the device back to its like new settings, unintalled and reinstalled all the software on both my device and pc. It is working now but unfortunately I lost a couple of books. Thanks for your input.

Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles??

Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles (meaning these songs don't exist in Library but actually do)? I really don't want to scroll through 5,000 titles to remove these items.

Hi mitzlet,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option

Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option in I-tunes. I've tried using both a Mac Book and PC with newer and older versions of I-tunes.

It sounds like you are try to delete the songs by connecting the iPod to other than the computer from which the songs were synced. You can only delete songs synced to an an older iPod (pre iOS 5) by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and unsync them.
If you want to change syncing computers see:

TS3297 Why can I only buy full albums and not individual songs?

Why can I only buy full albums and not individual songs?

If it's iTunes purchased music then you might be able to re-download it on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - it will download into the Music app. If you want your other music from your computer's iTunes (e,g. music copied from CDs and playlists) then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPad's Music app.

Can No Longer Edit Song Meta Data In Latest iTunes 11.1???

I just discovered that since the update to version 11.1 I can no longer manually edit the meta data by using the Show info function, all options are greyed out. For instance I can no longer adjust the volume level on a song nor can I edit the fields for song title and artist tec. There is also no longer any tab for album art when using the Show Info function on a song that has no album cover art. On songs that already have an album cover there will be an album art tab but the options there are all greyed out so I can not change the album cover art if I wanted too. This really *****, I can no longer edit album cover art for songs that have another cover already and I can not add any cover picture at all for songs that have no cover art (unless I manage to get the cover from the iTunes store but that is very often not successfull).
Another bug I found is that I can no longer add any video file to my playlists.
So this new update really ***** for me and have ruined my itunes experience.
Do anyone else in here have the same problem?
I really hope Apple will fix these bugs as soon as possible!

I think I finally found a solution to this problem. It appears that for some reason, some songs you download will maintain write protection that the original owner had set on his/hers computer. In my case for this Ellie Goulding album that I had problem with, it turned out my friend who gave it to me had some of the songs stored on his iPad and that caused the files to become write protected it seems, and this write protection was transfered over to my PC. To solve this issue, everytime you encounter a song in iTunes that you can not edit just right click it and select Show/View In Explorer, that will take you to the storage location of the file in question. Now right click the song and select Properties and see if it is write protected, if it is then just uncheck that option and click ok. Now you should be able to edit the meta data for that song again. So it appears this is not a bug in iTunes but rather a write protection issue.

Hebrew Song titles and Artists appear as blank

I want my iPod to show my Hebrew song titles and artists, as opposed to the blank (which makes it very hard to pick songs, as you might imagine).
I understand that it comes out of the box without the capability to do so, but there was a fix for the old ipods on idigital.co.il. This fix however, does not work with 5th generation (I tried and the website says it doesn't). Why doesn't Apple just come out with an official fix? I figure it's something relatively easy to put out, no?
(have latest itunes and ipod updates)

sorry to say, but there isn't any third-party app that can fix that. you'll have to rename songs or live with it. you can send a request to apple to fix this in future software updates. here's the link:

the iPod software list doesn't include the 4th Gen. but just click the most recent iPod 3rd Gen. software.

Why can't i purchase songs in "browse"

Why can't i purchase songs from "browse" mode?

I suddenly have the same exact problem with both my Macs - MBP 10.6.8 with iTunes 10.7, as well as an old PPC. The button for 'buy" "or "download" or "rent" is no longer functional. I click on the button but nothing happens.
And we're not alone - there are a lot of similar complaints just recently in Apple discussions and other forums in the past few days. It doesn't seem to matter which OS or iTunes version is used, or even if it's a Mac or PC. Apparently its only affecting some. So far, there doesn't seem to be a fix.
Maybe if enough people complain, Apple will find a fix.
Edit: I just saw this temporary fix on another thread that worked for me:
"click on drop-down, add to wish list, and then answer yes to the prompt about "prices may change, do you want to download now" works."

For a transition to work, you need handles... basically, enough footage to overlap each other so that the transition can grab from both sides... your clip is merely 7 frames, way too short to be able to add a transition...
I've used the "joining two pieces of fabric" analogy before, but I think it was too girly.. Perhaps another way to think about it, is to think of a "dovetail joint" used in wood working... the two pieces of wood need to grab onto each other in order to hold together...
Anyhow, doing a quick search to perhaps better explain, I found this:

Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.
