ITunes 12 Get Info dialog spacebar problem

I'm finding that in the new iTunes, when I put in a composer name or band name (etc.) in the Get Info dialogue, if there is a space everything goes wrong.
For instance: I'm trying to type "John Lennon" under Composer.
I type "John " [note the space]
But then it automatically selects the alphabetically-earliest "John " from a drop-down list (John 5, the guitarist for Marilyn Manson, which is really not quite the same thing) and immediately closes the text box.
Is there a way to make it stop doing this drop-down list? It's not a great hardship to type "John Lennon" so I'd rather not have to select from the drop-down every time, and if the second part of the name is not already on the list it's very difficult to get it typed in in one go (and if it's something like "John Lee Hooker" you're REALLY in trouble).

I have this same issue. The only workaround that seems to work consistently is to enter a space before anything else, fill out the information, then go back and delete the first space. It's an annoying oversight, but I've gotten used to hitting space, filling out the info, pressing home, and pressing delete.
I'd appreciate a fix - it's incredibly annoying for any band with a space in the title autocorrecting to the wrong information.

I have a 3GS. The iPod on the phone has made duplicates of some songs. I've tried using the "get info" dialog box to set all the information the same but the dups are still there. Even after erasing all music with iTunes they are still there.

I have the lates version of Itunes

I have managed to figure out how to solve this problem, after looking around I saw a lot of people kept saying makesure it is list view however this still did not work, I found the only way for me get these buttons back was to change the Movie to a TV Show and only then did the "Next" and "Previous" button appear. Right Click> Get Info > Options > Media Kind and then Select TV Show, this is extremely inconvienent but the only way that I found that has worked so far.
Hope this works for you too!!

Need help with "get info" dialog box

Hi Everyone!
I need some help with trying to figure out what some of the options are in the "Get Info" dialog box. I've searched the iTunes help and these forums, but can't find anything.
So, in the options tab,
1. What does "Part of compilation" Y/N, do for me?
2. Same for "Remember Position"
3. And finally, "Gapless album"
Thanks, Vince.

1. when you import a compilation album (like an 80's compilation or something), itunes will import it as
song 1, artist 1, 80's greatest hits
song 2, artist 2, 80's greatest hits etc
Click part of a compliation means that, it means that it would keep them altogether rather than having lots of songs everywhere
2. If you start playing a song, then stop, part way through, when you next come to the song, itunes will remember where you left off
3. Albums like jean michel jarre, classical, mike oldfield, etc, have many songs which merge into each other. Having gapless album ticked will ensure that, when playing the album, there are no gaps between songs

ITunes "get info" respond time is slow

As a person who edits tagging info very often, the slow respond time when I click on "get info" is annoying me.
It used to respond immediately, but now I have to wait 2~3 seconds to get the "get info" window up.
I recently switched my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 8, and installed the latest version of iTunes (11.1.4.62, 64 bit version)
This slow respond time did not occur on my previous computer, so could this be a problem with my computer? Is there a way to fix it then?
I tried re-installing iTunes, but that did not solve the problem.

It doesn't look like this has been fixed -- in fact, it appears to have become worse. Now, if I'm in an iTunes window and I pull up "Get Info" on a track, the window comes up and I can edit, but when I press the "Next" button, focus reverts back to the iTunes window, leaving the Info widow hanging there without focus. If I want to add track numbers to a CD that was ripped without them, I have to keep clicking on the info window to restore focus after each change.
What's the problem here, iTunes??

Album art added via Itunes 'Get Info' not updating on iPhone 5

Im wanting to use Itunes specifically to add album artwork to my music which is managed manually. With the previous itunes version, it was a case of dragging and dropping a jpeg into the bottom left corner and hey presto! However, now...nothing.
Ive confirmed all manner of things/issues explained after "research" on the net. So far nothing has worked out. Ive confirmed that the artwork is jpeg (even tried png) and also that its not locked under any specific permissions in Windows 7.
To illustrate the annoyance of it, i can use a third party program to add the album art to an mp3 (prior to it being synced onto the iphone) and it will show up perfectly then! Now, you may be wondering 'why not just do that? problem solved'. Not quite. Windows is annoying to say the least especially with album artwork. Its all fine adding the artwork to mp3 files, but it then adds hidden artwork files in the folders themselves.
As i said before, i was able to do it manually with the previous itunes version but now im out of ideas. The 'Get Info' tab then onto 'Artwork' in itunes is where im trying to update the files. I can load them there, they will show on the files under itunes, but not on the iphone. As i manage my music manually ive also attempted to remove all tracks, re-sync and try and add again; nothing.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Granted this can only be really described as an annoyance, but its annoying nonetheless.
Peace

Dragging music files directly from Windows and dropping onto the device? I have no idea how that is even possible, but right there you're deviating from the intended design -- iTunes is meant to be the intermediary.
Are you suggesting that i first update the music in the itunes library and then drag & drop to the iphone? In a way, not manually manage the music?
Yes, that IS what what I'm suggesting, and that is what manually managing means in the iTunes world. It is a media manager for your devices, and if you're bypassing it then its no wonder you're struggling. It sounds like you're coming from a mp3 player perspective, and like it or not, that's not how i-devices work.
I'm sorry to say, but if you try to force things another way it will be a rocky relationship to say the least.

Get Info Dialog, what does the 'Grouping entry' do?

Just trying to make sense out of how iTunes (version 11.0.5) organizes my library and files. I can't find anything that explains what the 'grouping' field is for. It is found in the 'Get Info/Info' dialog box.

Making edits to iTunes 'get info'

I would like to know how I can go about making edits to my album info on the iMac (ie. genres, title, year, album art, etc) and they can actually stay permanently - when I do the edits - they stay for a bit and then a few days will go by and then they are back to the original settings - so, I ask, how do I make the changes in the 'get info' tab permanently

Yes, others are seeing this. Something in purchased media (I am pretty sure this has only happened with purchased media) is periodically checking back with the iTunes Store and resetting the tags in the iTunes library file but not in the actual media files (metadata are stored in both). I haven't seen a truly systematic diagnosis of the issue (I use an old iTunes and have no iTunes account so I can't test anything myself). There are temporary workarounds but tags will still revert after a time.
2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896#26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.

https://discussions.apple.com/message/26335620#26335620 - user ended up rebuilding iTunes library from scratch
Send feedback to Apple about this so they know it is an issue they need to investigate:

Don't expect an immediate solution but maybe the next time they update the software it may be resolved.

ITunes Get Info prompts missing

OS 10.9.5, iTunes 12.01.
How do I get the year filled in on new videos?
The new "Get Info" doesn't have a prompt on new files for the year - and the "add fields" is grayed out:
Here's a "Get Info" from last week that does have the year field:
The release dates on EVERYTHING are totally messed up ... I can just make that column go away ... but the year thing seems like I'm missing something.

I figured it out! ... Change the file to a "Home Video" under Options in the Get Info tabs ... the Year prompt come up then! ... Then switch back to TV after fixing the year and it's all set :-)

ITunes - Get info

As a dedicated iTunes user, I use the Get info feature to gather reference information. Three things about this feature annoy me. The comments box does not hold enough text and the iTunes store doesn't allow their summaries of music and videos to be copied. Thirdly, when downloading music or movies, very little detail information is automatically stored with the download into Get info. What's up with that?

No "Open in 32-bit mode" check box in iTunes "Get info"

When I try to run iTunes the error message. "To run iTunes in 64-bit mode, select the iTunes application in the Finder, choose the “Get Info” command in the File menu, and uncheck the “Open in 32-bit mode” checkbox in the iTunes Info window."
I have just updated to 10.9

After long phone call with apple support the thing that seemed to work was:
make a new user.
Copying the itunes app from the new user’s Application folder to the shared folder.
Then open up your old user account and copy it over the old itunes app.
hope it works for you too

Are you confused about accessing the Lion iTunes Get Info menu from mouse?

I was...for some reason Lion was shipped with the right click (secondary) turned off, which is how you access the Get info Menu in iTunes from the mouse. So just go into Apple menu choose system preferences. Choose mouse and check the secondary click box. Then you are good to go back into iTunes choose a song and right click to get the Get info menu...

This has nothing to do with iTunes.
It is the OS System prefs.

Change all file associations in get info dialog box

Hey all,
I got this program called Style Master to edit all of my CSS files. Well, BBEdit was still the app associated with the .css extension. If I used get info (cmd-i), changed the program from BBEdit to Style Master and then selected 'Change All' it would flip back to being associated with BBEdit. Even if I create a new css document in Style Master, it saves with a BBEdit association and icon. Quite annoying.
Any ideas why I can't change the file association from BBEdit to another program?

I believe the prefs associated with this action is: com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. Found in Users/Preferences. Place this file in the trash and retry.
Regards

Kernal panic as iTunes "Get Info" commanded

While trying to fill in some of the info of imported music tags in Itunes library, a Kernal Panic is initiated instead. What is the work around for this? I have already corrected Permissions and performed disk repairs. Besides, exporting & importing from another software to fill out the info, is there a trick I'm missing. And, while on the subject of info, why can't the Year and Track number columns be edited by clicking on them as the Name or Album can be right there on the window?
