Why doesn't iTunes allow renaming?

I'm using iTunes 7. Is there still no way to rename a song or movie?
Thanks,
Brett

iTunes does allow renaming. Within the library view, click twice (not double clicking, but select then click) on the field you want to edit. As simple as this.
You can also rigth click on your song and select "Get info", then select the "Info" tab and edit the field you want.

Why doesn't iTunes allow the podcasts to be downloaded by Release Date?

I am using iTunes 11.0.2 (25) on my iMac (2010). I am curious why iTunes does not allow the podcasts to be downloaded by Release Date?
It will help me so much when I create the playlists by Release Date especially when I download the podcasts after their releases.
Please advice and thank you.

I find that this setting does remove any podcasts that I have already listened to at the time of the next refresh, provided that I have not told iTunes not to delete the podcast (right-click, Do Not Auto Delete). If you need it gone right away, try hitting the refresh button.

Why doesn't Itunes allow me to download individual songs

I was always able to download individual songs from iTunes. Now it has options (gift, wish, etc.) I can't find a "get" or a "download". Am I missing something? Thanks. MacBook Pro.

I get the gift, wish list etc options if I click on the downward pointing arrow, if I click on the song's price then I get a prompt to type in my password in and buy the song. That is what you are clicking on, the price - that gives you the same options as the arrow ?

Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library?

Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library? I copied these files to my iMac from an old PC laptop that no longer has internet access.

After downloading via iTunes, I move MP3 files from the default iTunes podcast folder to another folder (on an a external disk), I also change the name of the file and I change some MP3-tags.
You download from the iTunes store, delete the podcast, mess with it, move it around, rename it, change the tags then try to add it back to iTunes?
I want all my files in one index, the iTunes Music Library
In iTunes, right click - get info, click the Options tab and set *Media Kind:* to Music.

HT1338 Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to ios 5?

Why won't itunes allow me to update my iphone 3gs to a later version?

First, confirm that you really do have an iPhone 3GS and not a 3G:

If you really do have a 3GS, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, 10.7, on your computer.

Why won't iTunes allow my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 to play 176.4/24 AIFF files created in December of 2014 and January of 2015, but will allow my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 to play 176.4/24 AIFF files created before December of 2014?

When I buy and download high resolution music files (FLAC and DSD), I convert them to AIFF files and add them to my iTunes music library. Specifically, I have been converting DSD64 files to 176.4/24 AIFF files. These AIFF files (modified in some respects by iTunes) have been synched to my old iPhone 5 and new iPhone 6. Until December, every 176.4/24 AIFF file played as expected. In December, I purchased two DSD64 albums, which I converted to 176.4/24 AIFF files using AudirvanaPlus 1.5. These 176.4/24 AIFF files will not play on either iPhone. When I converted those DSD64 albums to 88.2/24 AIFF files, they played on both iPhones. In December, I also purchased several 192/24 FLAC albums and converted them to 192/24 AIFF files using Amarra HiFi. These 192/24 AIFF files play properly on both iPhones.
Why won't iTunes allow my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 to play 176.4/24 AIFF files created in December of 2014 and January of 2015, but will allow my iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 to play 176.4/24 AIFF files created before December of 2014?

I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

Why doesn't apple allow Adobe Flash Player to be downloaded ?

Why doesn't apple support and allow downloading of Adobe Flash Player?

Because there is no version available from Adobe that works on any iOS device.

Why doesn't Windows allow iTunes to open anymore?

Since I downloaded the new operating system iOS 6 to my iPod, my Windows XP refuses to open iTunes.
It says: To help Protect you computer, Windows has closed this program.
And when I close this message, another pops out: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Is that a Data Execution Prevention (DEP) message?
If so, try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

Why doesn't itunes 11 (Win) show us the length of podcasts? Only new ones d/l thru it show, and even then not - when I can use an old version (10) and it shows me much more info. Am I missing a setting? Thanks!!!

Cannot see or sort podcasts via itunes 11 (Win) like I could in iTunes 10 .. am I missing something? Same goes for playlists. I often take old-time-radio music and/or shows and need them in date-order to make them work (say, ep 1 is one date, ep 2, etc - among dozens of titles). IS there is a setting or did Apple just get rid of it? I have a laptop with iTunes 10 but have tried to get used to the newer versions on my Mom's PC. I don't want to update until I can use it the same way.
Serial radio must be in order. And I have to at least see that in the display to put it in a playlist. Podcasts that show dates from several years ago in ver. 10 no long show anything like it now. Nor, btw, does length of file play. I use it as an over night "podcast radio" and need it to make sense. aIf I need extra steps outside of iTunes okay. Just wish Apple had made it clear and it hasn't.
Thanks!

Once you do get things working... Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

Why doesn't Apple allow changing your AppleID username?

i realize this subject is best sent to Apple Feedback ("Contact Us" link found at the bottom right of most pages on Apple's site). I post here to hopefully assemble others who have the same questions or concerns, with the ultimate result being a call for action, that more than just me emails Apple to see if the change I discuss here, and others before this post have made, might finally happen as this is not a new concern.
I have several AppleIDs. Not by want, but by mistake. Like many, when you bought a new Mac device, during set up many mistakenly created a new AppleID instead of using their original existing one. Some people do want multiple AppleIDs and that's fine. This post is about those who don't, but once an AppleID is created you're stuck with it, other than not using it/them and trying to stick with using just one and setting all devices and your logging to be just one AppleID.
The problem is that many didn't realize we created other AppleIDs and started to use them and then find out that they can't be merged and certain fields can't be changed. Period.
For me, i bought a new device and then noticed my posts here in Discussions show my full name instead of my long used nickname. When registering my new device I must have unknowingly input my full name not realizing I was assigning both creating a new AppleID until I posted next in Discussions.
The problem can be that instead of one AppleID, you end up with 2 or more and each AppleID stores your data specific to that ID and our AppleIDs don't talk to each other. For Discussions, because I logged in over time with different AppleIDs, so my posting and Activity are broken up over my different IDs. We don't have the ability to see all our posts in one place, AKA one login, or one login that can access all our other AppleIDs.
So if I need to find a post I started or contributed to, I may have to login with each AppleID until I find it.
Many people have questioned why does Apple have such a strict policy about AppleIDs when for the user, it can and does complicate using Apple products, forcing us to remember which AppleID we used for which device, Discussions, iTunes, etc. Again, some want separate ApleIDs for each use, but for those that don't, we have to manage not to accidentally create additional AppleIDs and/or if you get stuck with multiple AppleIDs that you make sure you only use one and ignore the others to prevent your data being fractured among more than one AppleID.
Apple must have a reason for insisting that those with more AppleIDs than desired can't merge or change certain fields, but it certainly doesn't seem to benefit the user. So why is their policy in force and regardless, with enough outcry AKA Feedback... It might impact enough on Apple to make some changes.
SO if you don't like having multiple AppleIDs and wish to merge them/some or change some of the now unchangeable fields, please send Feedback to Apple - found in the lower right "Contact Us"
Thanks!

You are not alone. I am sure a lot of folks did exactly what you did, others found that they forgot passwords or security questions and the like.
[1] This seems solvable - if this identity is new, it could and should be changed by the Hosts
[2] Yep, that's the kicker (<- technical term) - the database holding all your posts uses your AppleID as the one solid 'keyword' to tie them all together, regardless of content - there is probably yet another database for all Store issues - that seems a less daunting coding task to merge. But probably won't happen. A good source here among Hi-Levelers has told that a feature of iOS 8 (coming this Fall!!) will have 'family plan-like management features. But I think it unlikely to extend to the discussions.
If you change that AppleID keyword, you lose all connectivity to those posts. Read on...
[3] I have a workaround for you: Go to each AppleID Profile page in A Seperate Tab. Even though you are not logged into each AppleID, you can still see everything about posts - you just can't set prefs. Not on one page, but for me, it would be easier to keep track of with it sorted by ID.
[4] Pardon my sarcasm, but make Sticky Note or something!! Seriously, just get it straight once and for all and keep it in a text file or spreadsheet if tits that complex.
[5] see 1-3. Apple will probably see your point with "Personal Information" on #1
Regarding your grass-roots effort, take care not to even insinuate a "P O L L" <- formatting mine. Super NoNo per ToU. Even if there were the effort made, I'll bet not enough folks suffer as you do to make a global change.
Best luck

Why doesn't itunes have an simple upload option for putting CDs and DVDs into my ipod touch library?

I have movies and CDs I don't want to have to purchase again through itunes that I would like to put on my ipod touch without a lot of complicated hassles. I don't understand why it isn't a simple point and click and it happens option on my itunes library list of options. I have four kids and a ton of work and don't have time or expertise to spend figuring out how to make that work by reading through manuals. I don't see the point in buying the same music or movies or books twice. I work in a job that allows me to listen to my ipod while I work. This is a huge perk for an otherwise tedious and boring job, but I don't have time or money to spend buying extra movies or reading a ton of technical information trying to figure this all out. If they can do all the other stuff they do with an ipod touch I don't see why this request should be a serious challenge.
I took a guess on my operating system. I don't know. Do you see the huge list of operating systems? That seems like a lot. It seems to me that everything should be compatible with everything else or people like me that expect to be able to do what other systems can do get really frustrated and irritated when we realize that we can't because capabilities and limitations where not emphasized in the advertising.

HA! I'll add it to my favorites bar... then maybe I will be able to find it again. I just hope I can remember the password and username. You know that they aren't secure unless you change them every six months. Do you realize how many different computer systems and programs I have to engage in work and for personal use?! How in the heck am I supposed to remember all my passwords and usernames?! Oh, and it's not safe to write them down... especially with a bonehead like me that has too many irons in the fire and can't remember where he put his keys!

Why doesn't apple allow you to download files from the internet like how android users can?

I was using a friend's android phone yesterday and saw that he could download files a wide variety of files from the internet and that made me wonder why Apple doesn't allow iPhone users to download files like the ones you could on an android device

To keep the sort of malware rather prevalent for Android devices off of your iPhone. Depending on what you need to download, though, you can probably find a third-party app that will do it. Since such apps keep their documents in their own sandbox, it helps protect the iPhone from being infected by malicious "documents".

Why doesn't iTunes support aac streaming??

My favorite internet radio station streams in AAC+ format, but not mp3, to save bandwidth, which is a worthwhile goal. Considering that Apple was the pioneer of AAC, does anyone have any idea why iTunes doesn't support streaming in either AAC or AAC+ as far as I can tell? It seems kind of silly.
I hope someone from Apple is reading this thread and will maybe add a vote for adding this obviously useful functionality...

Only Apple know, and they're not likely to address a question like this directly. "Not invented here" might have something to do with it.

Why doesn't Mail allow a Junk IMAP message to be marked as "Not Junk"?

I don't understand the behavior of Mail (Lion) when it comes to junk mail from IMAP accounts. Mail has marked an email from an IMAP account as junk (judging by the brown text color) and has moved it to the Junk mailbox. For some reason, though, Mail doesn't provide the usual function to mark it as "Not Junk".
Mail does allow marking the message as Junk, which suggests that Mail actually didn't mark it as Junk properly in the first place. Fortunately, this also provides a workaround. When I mark the message as Junk, it gets flagged with the brown paper bag symbol. After that I can mark the message as Not Junk, which removes both the bag symbol AND the brown text color.
Still, I would rather see Mail behave differently. Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior or tips to alter it?
Regards,
-Eric

Soooo, Apple, why don't your crackerjack programmers make it possible to have multiple message windows open at one time in Mail???!
It's always been available for as long as I can remember.
