Users should try removing the file from the iTunes folder and then relaunch the program. If the files are properly accessible and users cannot edit any song in their library then this problem may be due to a corrupt iTunes library. This should reset all files' permissions according to those set on the parent folder. Next, ensure the username and permissions are correct for that folder and use the gear menu at the bottom of the info window to propagate permissions to all enclosed files.

If this is a problem for many song files, especially after a restore (such as from Time Machine), users can try changing permissions on their whole iTunes library by locating the parent folder for the iTunes library (usually /username/Music/iTunes/) and get info (Command-I) on that folder.

Additionally, in the "General" section, ensure the "Locked" checkbox is unchecked. Next, users should get info on the file and ensure that their username is listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section and has been granted both "Read & Write" privileges (users may need to click the lock and authenticate to make changes). Users should check the individual files by right-clicking them in iTunes and selecting the "Show in Finder" option. This can occur either if permissions on the files are incorrect, or if files are locked.

Itunes allows me to change it to Apollo 440 and it keeps the change but then when I play the song it instantly changes back to Apollo Four Forty."įor some users, this problem may be due to user-level restrictions. "I have a MP3 called "Ain't Talking 'Bout Dub" by Apollo 440. In iTunes, users usually can click and rename songs, as well as edit metadata in the "info" window however, some users may find that songs in their iTunes libraries are not directly editable.Īpple Discussions poster stn774477 writes:
