I have searched forum but this is not covered.... does anyone have any idea why this could be the case? if i have explained correctly or in any way unsure what im on about watch from 7.25min on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWSxERh9N-I

It gets a brief mention in the manual:
If changing by pitch, modify the "To:" and optionally the "From:". If modifying by frequency, modify only the "to".
(emphasis mine).

In the current version of "Change Pitch", the "From: Frequency" is not intended to be editable, even though it looks like it should be.
I'm somewhat surprised that the video shows it to be editable, but I notice that he is using an old version of Audacity, The fact that it worked in an older version strengthens the case for why it should work now.

I am currently working on a new version of "Change Pitch" in which the "From: frequency" can be edited. I am not an official Audacity developer so there is no guarantee that my proposal will be accepted, but if you would like to see this change in a future version of Audacity I suggest that you request it in the "Adding Features" section of the forum. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewforum.php?f=20 (the developers are more likely to accept a new feature if users say that they want it).
