Get Info shortcut changed?

I don't know why, but I've just noticed that the keyboard shortcut for changing tabs while editing in the Get Info box for a song (and for changing tabs in the Preferences panel as well) seems to have changed from CMD-[ and CMD-] to now requiring Shift-CMD-[ and Shift-CMD-].
Can someone confirm this is new in iTunes, and not something on my system? Why in the world would Apple add this needless additional finger for such a nice shortcut? Ugh.

Do you mean left and right brackets (I think the built in HTML editor messed up your post)?
Yes, to confirm what you said, help topic still says Command Left Bracket and Command Right Bracket but in use I too found it has to be SHIFT-Command Left/Right Bracket.

When I change the time zone of the clock, the "Date created" time information for my documents and image files in the Finder window (and in Get Info) is changed. Can I make the time info in "Date created" remain fixed regardless of the clock's timezone?

"Get Info" and change permissions

Since I installed Leopard – when I create a file in PhotoShop and save it. When I go to reopen it – it will not let me. I have to go to “Get Info” and change permissions to “read and write” to everybody each time. I also have to from time to time have to go to “Get Info” in application and change permissions to get them to boot. Is there a fix?

Where are you saving these files? When you open an Info Window to the file you just created in Photoshop, what names are listed? The top entry should be your username with Read&Write privs. The middle entry should be either staff, (unknown) or your username with Read Only privs. The last entry should be everyone with Read Only privs.
Also, save a file to your Desktop (name it foo) and see if the problem still happens. If it does, launch Terminal and type:
ls -lde ~/Desktop
ls -le ~/Deskop/foo
paste the spew from that into a reply and we'll try to see whats going on.

Each time I attempt to fix email address, I get info to change password

I am a new ipad 2 user, I entered my email address incorrectly, does not match ipod touch. how can I correct this? when I try I get info on changing password

I'd think you have a Keychain problem (Keychain storing passwords and the likes).
When you are being asked, are you offered the checkbox, "Remember this password in my Keychain"? If so, check and see if it stops asking.

I have to select a file – get Info – and change – open with and change from preview to another program and CHANGE ALL everytime I boot up

Why do I have to select a file – get Info – select – open with – and change from Preview to another program and click CHANGE ALL with every file extention everytime I boot up.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I am having trouble editing track names and information in my Itunes library. Help center says click on selected track, click on file, click on get info, make changes, and press save. When I get to get info, it won't let me change anything. Help??

How do I edit track names and information in my I-tunes library? I followed the Help Center instructions, but it will not let me change anything. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Those symptoms usually indicate a permissions problem. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice.

"Get Info" - new shortcut doesn't work

I'm trying to create a more convenient keyboard shortcut for "Get Info" on iTunes, since I use it a lot. I want to replace Command-I with F19 on a full-size aluminum Apple keyboard.
Using the Application Shortcuts I entered F19 as the new "Get Info" shortcut, and iTunes duly shows F19 on the menu; Command-I does not work any longer. So far so good - the problem is that it doesn't work on iTunes. It works in the Finder, I can invoke the Info window of a file that way now, but neither an universal All Applications shortcut or an iTunes specific one will bring up the information of a track, which is what I want.
Any ideas? This seems to be a genuine bug, since the menu is updated properly - it just fails to work.

Yes, of course. I understand you're just trying to rule out the obvious first.

Problem changing information under "get info"?

I am using windows vista which I know has a lot of compatibility problems with itunes right now (including the fact that my ipod wont even work properly with it) but I'm not sure if this is causing the problem or not:
When I go into "get info" to change information about a song, its totally not working! when I try it for multiple songs at once, it looks like it will work (I can type the new name or whatever in) but then nothing happens/ the change doesnt save. For one song at a time, it wont even let me type in any of the fields! Help!

At the time of editing no movies or music is beign played and not other major network traffic is going on.
When iTunes locks up i get the pinwheel and can do nothing else in iTunes. I have left it for over an hour with no change.

Don't want to use new Numbers, but 'get info' fix doesn't work

Hi All,
I made the mistake of installing the new Numbers a month or two ago. I don't want to use the new Numbers because I need to work on the same documents on older machines that won't work with the new Numbers. On my machines with both versions of Numbers, I want to be able to just double-click on the documents and open with the older version. The usual fix is to use get info on a document, select the app I want to use for this type of document and then hit 'change all' for that type of doc. Well that's the theory at least. I've found that this setting doesn't stick in this case. (I've never seen this not work). It still opens with the new Numbers.
I've tried removing Numbers, but Software Update keeps nagging that there is an update available jfor Numbers, and wants to reinstall it. They 'dumbed down' Software Update so that you can't remove updates you don't want to be bothered by. (I hate it that Apple continually removes features, then adds them back in a year or two!) So I'm stuck.
Any one else have this happen? Any fixes?
Thanks!

Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. The Mac OS will always default to the newest installed version & has for as long as I can remember. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
This is what worked for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "Applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.
Since the last update I've used the solution Peter Breis posted (4th post in that thread) in iWork Tips 'n' Tricks with a little "tweak."
Making Numbers '09 the default whilst keeping Pages 5
1. Move any new iWork apps in another clearly labelled folder (I created a new folder in Applications & named it iWork 13)
2. Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy > drag the above folder into the list
2) Move the new iWork folder into the trash (temporarily)
3) Select any Numbers file in Finder > Menu > Info (cmd+i) > Open with: > Pages '09 > Change all
4) Re the new iWork folder from the trash (right-click > Put back)
Pages 5 should no longer appear as a default App, and you won't have to keep a copy in a separate drive or dmg.
IMPORTANT: Make a note of where and how Pages was installed for the next App Store update and temporarily move it back there before putting it away again in the folder concealed from Spotlight.

Get Info Not Saving

When I "get info" and change what I want to, it doesn't save! Any help would be much appreciated. I've successfully done this before. I recently moved and reformatted my computer, so in the process I had to re download Itunes and upload all of my files again.

I'm also unable to get album artwork that I previously was able to get. (I know sometimes the itunes store can't find the artwork and you have to find it yourself). Fwaaa! I'm so picky about being organized this is driving me crazy!

7.3 has hosed up the "get info" look I had for my songs

I upgraded to 7.3 today. All my songs transfered fine or so it seems. I have music from a shared site, I had organized all the song titles in the same format but it copied them over in the original look. Do I have to do the get info for the entire library individually to get it back? Example of what I mean.
The original song might look like: cerry on wayward son -kansas
I had used the get info to change to: Carry On Wayward Son
I haven't updated my Ipod yet hoping there is a fix.

Hello Shopping booboo,
You might not have the option to manually manage music checked on your devices. This box would need to be checked if you are dragging content over to your devices:

Various results of using CMD-I key combo for get info

I just updated to Snow Leopard from Leopard and I'm pretty baffled by some new behavior.
I'm used to using the key combo CMD-I to pull up the get info dialog so I can change the default app to open the files with.
Every once in a while, when I select a bunch of files and do CMD-I key combo, it opens up many many individual windows. I can't figure out when or why it does this and how to get the get info window so I can change them all to open with Quicktime.
Other times, it does what I expect. It opens up one get info window for all the items so I can change the open with app.
Can anyone explain what's going on and how to get the usual CMD-I back? Thanks,

Thanks Malcolm.
CMD-Opt-I key combo helps when CMD-I fails, but, I still don't understand what the problem is with CMD-I being inconsistent.
I just did an experiment with some files that I have in iTunes because these are the ones I often need to Get Info to change them to open with Quicktime player.
Example.
Folder 1 has 19 files. CMD-A followed by CMD-I opens up one dialog box "Multiple Item Info". I can change the open with default.
Folder 2 has 4 files. CMD-A followed by CMD-I spawns 4 windows with each files name followed by info, e.g. "Filename1.mp3 Info"
This doesn't make sense.

Can I change the position of the Get Info window?

Can I change the position of the Get Info window?

If you want to open the "Get Info" panel in the center of your screen, define the following Automator service and install it in the "Services" Folder of your User Library. This service will be available when you ctrl-click a file or folder in the pop-up menu and it will open the "Get Info" in the center of the screen.
Open Automator and select New -> Service.
Select: Service receives "files or Folders" in "Finder.app"
Drag a "Run Apple script" action from the Actions pane -> Utilities onto the Workflow
Paste the following script into the action, after (* Your script goes here *) and before "return input"
          tell application "Finder"
activate
                    set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
open information window of item input
                    set {i1, i2, i3, i4} to (get bounds of information window 1)
                    set position of information window 1 to {d1 + (d3 - i3 + i1) / 2, d2 + (d4 - i4 + i2) / 2}
          end tell
Save the service and name it e.g. "centeredGetInfo". It will be installed in your library -> Services.
Now you can ctrl-click any File or Folder, and in the Services Section of the pop-up menu you will see your new service "centeredGetInfo", also in File ->Services in the Finder, when you select a Finder item.
You can bind this service to a keyboard shortcut in the keyboard preferences and use it like the standard "Get Info"
