Why does edited year in an iTunes music file not permanently save.

When I edit, change, the year of an iTunes purchased song the year reverts back to the original downloaded year when making subsequent music purchases not related to the edited file.

Was I suppose to click on the "music" folder that was already in the itunes folder, or click on the "music" folder on the external drive that I thought I already copied to Itunes music. I clicked on the folder already in itunes and all it did was give me duplicates of the songs in my libary and theres some that still aren't being found.

  • Why does my finder nest an iTunes music folder within my music folder and not let me delete it?

    I'm working on the arduous task of combining and winnowing down my multiple iTunes libraries and music folders onto a single drive. The last thing I have to do is carve out the duplicate tracks from a time I tried to move my library to another drive and it rewrote all of my tracks and added a "1" to the file name (making it virtually impossible to use duplicate finder siftware.
    In going systematically through every artist and album folder in my new iTunes/Music folder I found a subfolder called "Music" which essentially mirrors the folder it resides within. In that folder is another "Music" folder with exactlay the same comtents. It's like those russian dolls.
    At first I though I found the reason why my folder was taking so much space on my drive (1.4 tb when it should noly be about 70 gb), so I though I would just delete it--but it will not allow me to, giving me the error code -8072.
    Any thoughts out there?
    Thanks for your time.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    Your library is in the newer layout and you are trying to move/have moved the media folder (red outline) to D:\Music. The extra Music folder is supposed to separate other types of media within the iTunes Media folder.
    If you don't want (or have room for) your library in the usual location of <User's Music>\iTunes, then you are usually much better off moving the entire iTunes folder to the root of your prefered drive, e.g. as D:\iTunes and accessing the relocated library by holding down shift as you start iTunes. The media folder would then be D:\iTunes\iTunes Media and music would end up at D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\<Artist>\<Album>. Keeping this structure make moving the library easier in future.
    Since it seems you've already started moving things around it is probably too late to move the library in a single step. See Make a split library portable for details of how you can proceed.

  • Missing itunes music files not on computer

    When I purchase songs from iTunes it makes my computer freeze and then crash. After my computer crashed about a month ago we got it fixed but all my music files were missing. I had most of my music on an external hard drive and most of my music is now back on my computer. I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to get my missing songs back without rebuying them? I have kept all my receipts if needed. I ran into this problem before with an older computer and I was told to "check for purchases," which I did. There is about 25-35 songs that I'm missing.

    *I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to get my missing songs back without rebuying them?*
    If you have no other back-up of your purchases to restore from (CDs/DVDs for example) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime?

    Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime? When my girlfriend and I are trying to watch a movie on Netflix together while on FaceTime my MacBook Pro always decreases the volume of any background sound on my computer so I can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

    Have the same issue too. Apple can you please change this annoying feature. You are making long distance relationships more difficult.
    I like how Facetime was with the old iOS, where nothing was dimmed. OR at least maybe if you could give users the option to turn on or off dimming of facetime.

  • Why does "Edit In..." sometimes not connect to Photoshop?

    Why does "Edit In..." sometimes refuse not open the file(s) in Photoshop?  This happens with any of the functions from LR5 to Photoshop CC, on MacOS 10.7.  Usually works again after restart, which sounds like a memory issure or something like that. 

    Not sure why, not without more details.

  • ITunes music files did not transfer afte rebooting OS software

    hi there
    I had to reboot system 10.3 software- I was happy because I had everything backed up on a Lacie external drive that i had formatted as a bootable disk. So when my iBook came back from the repair shop with a new blank OS and asked me if I wanted to transfer files from another computer, I did, from the Lacie hard drive. Only my iTunes music did not transfer, and so far it seems like I have to import files one by one- I can not figure out how to import the whole lot of music files.
    Additionally, all my other files, mostly Word, were imported with the "created on" date all set to 1970, for some reason. That is annoying; any ideas from anyone? Thank you very much

  • Switched laptops - music moved - appears in itunes music folder, not itunes

    I used my ipod as a hard drive to move my music from my old windows laptop to the new. The music all shows up in my folder for itunes music but not in my itunes program. What am I doing wrong?

    File -> Add to library...
    then pick the folder with all your music in it.

  • Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

    I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox.  In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding.  If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine.  I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs.  The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue.  I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

    This appears to have reduced the time to load a document.  Thanks Jimb      From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

  • Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore. When chose for secret question brth date seems wrong. Can't reach anyone!!!

    Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?

    That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

  • ITunes music file modifications

    I used "Audio Edit - Merge Split" to modify a mp3 file in the iTunes Music file. Merely trimmed the length. Now It's not recognized by iTunes as before.
    How do I get that song into it's former position in the Music Database?
    I'm running OS 10.9.4, iTunes 11.3.1, and the full version of Audio Edit - Merge Split.

    If these are tracks purchased from iTMS you can't convert them to another format as they are DRM copy protected. If you need them in MP3 for instance you can burn them to Audio CD and import them back as MP3. If they are normal unprotected AAC (MP4) files that you ripped from CD then you can convert them directly using iTunes: How to convert a song to a different format

  • Question about streaming itunes music files (AAC Format) to my Sony Bravia TV.

    I am streaming iTunes music files tfrom my Laptop to my Sony TV; the files are in AAC format.   However a Sony technician said I need to convert them to MP3 for the streaming to work properly.
    It seems to work OK without converting them so why should I convert them?
    And more importantly, if I convert them to MP3, will iTunes continue to work right?  And will iTunes still synch to my Nano and to my iPhone4?
    Thanks for any wisdom you all can offer.

    No.
    You would have to have itunes running in order to stream music, or, as you point out, have an appleTV
