Unable to change name of songs, albums, or artists

@turingtest2 I have tried the repair security permissions for iTunes for Mac but it did not work. I can change it, but once I exit the information it automatically reverts back to the original. It is getting very frustrating! This has only happened since the last upgrade on my computer. What else can I do?

@myginger clicking on the song itself, is also doing the same thing as command I, it gives me the same results and reverts back to the original information.

Do you have a subscription to Apple Music? There appears to be an ongoing issue affecting some users where changes in the Mac's library aren't posted to the cloud, and the library later reverts.

I just tried by clicking on the song itself. Not a fast click a slow double click. which gave me the option to erase and rename the song. I used to do that some time ago as I had songs with no titles or artist names. But I had forgot how I did it.

I've tried this method and I thought it worked but after the track was played, it once again reverted back to its original title / artist name. this happens to multiple tracks and didn't begin until after the update. any other tips on potentially fixing this?

Theres a slight lag in this. I didn't get your last post till after I made my post. I'm running out of ideas, unless going to user library preference files and removing the iTune preferences does something. It will recreate. itself. There is iTunes Helper and iTune playlist. If it worries you put them in the trash but don't empty it. Then if it doesn't work or messes up something, you can delete the new ones and use (put back) to put them back in user library preferences. Put back is right click and put back.

You have to click on the song or album then go to the top menu and select edit/song info and change there.

Try doing what I mentioned in my post and see if it works . After you click on the song do a slow double click on what you want to change. Type it in and click it then see if it stays.

You can ry rebooting your router and computer then see if behaviour is any better, but this might be an issue waiting on Apple for a fix.
