Why can't I  manually fill in info for some WAV files?

I've been importing wave files into itunes and filling in the artist info manually, one cd/playlist at time, with the intent of later converting the entire library to apple lossless. I need to do it this way because importing one CD at a time, I select the whole thing, and then fill in the info for the entire selection at once. If I import a bunch of files first I get a huge disorganized mess because there is no "tag" info. The problem is that, for some reason, artist info entered manually for some WAV files "won't take" but if I change to apple lossless first it will. Can anyone suggest a reason for this inconsistant behavior in the iTunes program?

WAV files don't have ID3 tags, which hold a lot of the song info.

  • Why can I not get the Web Icon for some of my saved Bookmarks

    Many of my saved Bookmarks have their correct Web Icons.
    However many fail to save their Web Icon leaving the Icon blank.
    The Web Sites in question do have specific Web Icons.
    I have tried deleting the Bookmarks in question and saving them again without success.
    Why can I not get these icons to be saved in the Bookmarks?

    No problem here with that TalkTalk website, the favicon image saves immediately when I save it as a bookmark. It uses a conventional favicon.ico image in the root directory <br />
    link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico" /
    With Barcalays iBank I can't figure out where the website image in the Location bar is being loaded from.
    With Barclaycard, the favicon saves with the new bookmark, even though that image is in a non-standard location. <br/>
    link rel="shortcut icon" href="assets/images/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"

  • Why can't I change the billing info for my account?

    Hi all,
    About 3 weeks ago I was issued a new corporate CC number. I have been trying since then to find a way to update it in the website. Everytime I try to load the billing info I get the message 'There has been an error on our side, please try again later.' This has been happening for weeks now. I finally decided, if they're not going to fix it, I'll call support.
    I reported the bug to support, no response.
    I called support and sat on hold to update my CC. I was hung up on when I should have been answered. This happened twice (I'm persistent).
    I registered for a call-back. I got the call-back, and was told I needed to go to another person. I got a warm transfer because of the above problem.
    This person told me I needed to talk to YET ANOTHER different team, and he would schedule a call back for me in 1-2 hours.
    It has been over a week, maybe a week and a half since I was supposed to receive that call-back, and finally my ticket is updated yesterday; they've tried to reach me with no success (yeah, right), what would I like them to do? So I left a note: call me at this number within the next 4 hours, and we can settle this. I guess I got the Pacific Time support team, because they called back 16 hours later (I'm GMT, by the way; my company is US-based however). Luckily I gave them my office phone, because I would have been livid (more so than I already am) if I'd been woken up at 3am.

  • Why can't i manually switch apps off?

    Work iPhone 4S on 7.0.2.
    It's laggy as ****. Why can't I manually switch off apps I don't use like maps, reminders & tomtom?
    On Android I can go into each app and switch them off when I don't want them in use. Why can't I do this on iOS?
    So far, I'm not liking Apple much.....

  • Why can I no longer fill in additional information on my adobe forms on pdf. At time this was an opposition. It will only allow me to type limited information?

    Why can I no longer fill in additional information on my adobe forms on pdf. At one time you could insert an icon that would allow you to type in additional information. It will only allow me to put in limited information?

    Not a lot of information. Can you post a link to a sample of the form so others can see the how the form does not work.

    Hi,
    I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
    i.e without adding an Apple ID
    iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
    I would try this.
    Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
    Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the  Server)
    On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number  is ticked for iMessages.
    If it is add the Apple ID
    On the Mac restart Messages
    Add the Apple ID
    At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
    Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • My daughter is 11 years ild, soon. Why can't I create i Apple id for her?

    My daughter is 11 years ild, soon. Why can't I create i Apple id for her?

    Because a law in the USA requires website operators to obtain parental permission before collecting any personal information from a child under 13, and many have simply chosen not to allow them to sign up.

  • Why can't I get a Skype Number for Canada?

    Why can't I get a Skype number for Canada?
    Post transferred to create its own new thread.
    Subject/title amended accordingly.

    Hi, Davidann, and welcome to the Community!
    I arranged to transfer your post here to the Features: Skype Number message board as your enquiry is not related specifically to the BlackBerry Z10.  If you type the words "Skype Number for Canada" in the Search the Community search box appearing at the upper right corner of this website page, you will find a plethora of threads (topics) related to this issue.
    The short story is this is due to a regulatory issue in Canada.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine
