Then choose a different ID3 version than the current one (preferably a higher version, but downgrading if no higher version is available) and click "Ok". While having iTunes copy the files to the iTunes folder upon importing should change the owner to the current user, manually doing this with the "Consolidate Library" command will do the same thing.Ĭonvert ID3 tags If the first fix does not work, users can right-click (or ctrl-click) the affected songs and choose "Convert ID3 Tags.". If a user has a file given to them by another individual, the ownership and permissions of the original user who gave the files may still be retained with them. One way to bypass this problem, if it is a permissions issue, is to use the "Consolidate Library" feature in iTunes to copy all files to the iTunes library. If multiple files are affected, users can select all of them and press opt-cmd-i to get the inspector and change the permissions in a similar way, or by changing the permissions on the parent folder (either directly or further up the directory tree) and using the gear menu to copy permissions to the items contained within that folder. If only "Read" is listed, then users should authenticate and change this to "Read and Write". Then with the file selected in the Finder, get information on it (command-i, or "File" -> "Get Info") and at the bottom ensure the current user's username is listed with both "Read and Write" next to it.
While Disk Utility has a permissions check feature, it's only for catalogued system files and not for user data so it will not work for users in this situation.Ĭheck and change file permissions Right-click the affected files in iTunes and choose the "Show in Finder" option from the contextual menu. The fixes for these problems are to first check the permissions of the individual files, and then possibly convert the ID3 tags of the files. This indicates the problem is either with the files' ID3 tags or with the file permissions, since if the user is not granted write access then the files may be readable and playable in iTunes, but not editable at all. and the only visible informations in the blanks seem hard-wired into them."įor affected users, this problem seems to be associated with certain files and not others.
"Among the several tracks I added to my library, there are some that are basically unaccessible: I right-click on them and go to the 'Get Info' menu whereas the blanks can usually be filled and artwork can be added, these tracks seem locked. In iTunes, users should be able to get information on individual songs or groups of songs and change their metadata tags however, when some users have attempted editing, the entered text reverts back to the original.Īpple Discussions poster alessio.cap writes:
