Why can't I rate songs stored in cloud?

When I upgraded to iTunes 11, now any song I purchase is tagged to the Cloud -- and I cannot rate it.  How can you rate a song once it comes from Apple via the Cloud?  I can still rate other songs I add myself from non-Apple sources (I do not use iMatch).

You can rate the song after you download it by clicking on the cloud symbol in iTunes.
Not sure why iTunes can't store the some metadata locally and still keep the song in the cloud, though.

    why can't i play songs from other sources in my liberay that i sync in my phone

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • 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:

    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:

    why can't I move songs/playlist from my iPhone5 to my iTunes on new laptop?

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice?  And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
    I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air.  Not sure if this will help you but...
    In your itunes client music library:
    Right click on one music file
    Hover over the Add to Playlist option
    Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
    See if that helps move the music file over.  If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file.  The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

  • 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."

  • HT1848 why can't I transfer songs from my itunes account to my ipod?

    On my computer I have tons of songs on Itunes, how can I transfer those songs to my Ipod? I have already sync my Ipod. I also owe money to itunes, could that be the reason why I can't transfer purchased songs and burned songs from cds to my ipod?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Why not copy them from your old computer, ro your backup copy of your old computer?
    No need for such a gross over reaction.

  • Why can't I import songs into my iTunes?

    Accidentally deleted all of my music for iTunes and stupidily emptied the trash but whatever, that's why Time Machine is great.
    Simply put, got ALL my songs back from Time Machine and yet, iTunes seems to ignore anything I ask it to do. Can't drag and drop, can't "Add to library" (Command+O). No dialog box comes up or anything. Tried moving full folders and single song files and nothing happens whatsoever. Tried googling this, and everything is for Windows. I don't use my Mac all to often but my music is a must. I need my metal.
    Using:
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    iTunes 11.0.2 (22) 64 Bit
    Any ideas? Because this is weird. I've already been complaining that you can't simply drag and drop crap into an iPhone and now THIS? What's wrong with Apple? I'm seriously debating a virus filled world or stick with constant irritants like this crap. I mean c'mon. My music is RIGHT there, why can't I just drag them into iTunes? Why? They were all there JUST a couple hours ago, so it can't be an issue of whether I'm using MP3 or whatever... Right? Ugh..

    Yes, it was all there, but as I said. iTunes acts like it isn't, and we're talking about thousands upon thousands of songs sitting in their respective folders.
    I had talked to my brother in law and he did mention something about iTunes having it's custom file that saves the information for everything it has into one, and to find that one if possible. But how can I locate it if using Time Machine to restore all of my music did nothing? I restored any iTunes related (all in one folder honestly), so what's the deal?
    Sorry for the very late reply, this is still a very concerning issue that needs to be desperately resolved, I have just been very busy.

  • Why can't I delete songs?

    I have a problem I have an i-pad and i-pod that I share with my children and I've put on all the restrictions I feel are  appropriate, but certain songs are still in the library.  So I simply want tto delete those songs form these devices.  Why can't I delete the selected songs from these devices?  I do not have i-cloud sync turned on these devices.

    Hello Unsilenced,
    You did the first thing I would have done as well by attempting to delete the content and re download it. If you have not already, I would suggest restarting the computer and see how it looks after that. IF the issue persists then I would recommend checking for 3rd party plugins that may be interfering with this article:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430.
    If the issue is not resolved after that, I think recreating the iTunes library would be the next best step here.

  • HT3819 Why can't we transfer songs between computers on the same home network? None of the threads on the support page have worked!

    My shared account will not allow me to transfer a song my wife purchased on our account. Yet every song that I purchased on our account from my computer transferred to her computer with no problem.

    Why can't you move the files?  What happens when you try?
