Poke around in that "I" menu a little. There will be a panel for
something like Edit Metadata (going off of my poor memory here) where
you can enter the number. The new site to look these up is
http://www.themoviedb.org/ and you will need to extract it from the
URL. One of my most troublesome movies has always been 300, which is
now at http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1271-300 making it's ID 1271.
After you enter that number in the correct field, just go back and
select Retrieve All Data and it will work every time.
