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??

Make sure you compact folders on a regular basis to remove all 'marked as deleted' emails.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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?

It may have to do with the limitations of the id3 tag capability/capacity. Go to http://id3.org/ to learn more about id3 tags.

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.

"Get Info" function is very slow

I have a 24" iMac (2.8 ghz core 2 duo, 4GB Ram) running 10.6.3. Anytime I select a file and choose "Get Info" from the right click menu, I get the dreaded spinning beach ball for approx 10 seconds before the file's info window is displayed. On this same computer using Leopard, the "get info" function always worked nearly instantaneously. Has anyone else experienced this or am I taking crazy pills?

Hello jin,
I check with my colleague from onsite there this is working fine with my login issue.
If i want to work on i have to connect through VPN only,
I want to know is there any problem with Java version, Plz guide me what to do?
Thanks

Unable to "Drag N Drop" images from the web to itunes "Get Info" for photo!

I convert LP's to MP3 and use iTunes as my program. Many of my LP's I want to have the images on the MP3. I use an excellent source of "discogs.com". Many people have saved me the time of picture taking and editing. I can just drag and drop to the iTunes. Well about 2 updates ago I cannot do this any longer. Why? I have to pull the image to the desktop and then drop into the iTunes.
Please restore this feature and save me the issues.

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?

Where did the "Next/Previous" buttons in the iTunes "Get Info" window go?

Can I no longer edit items quickly and efficiently? These buttons disappeared in iTunes 11!

It is still there in my version. Are you sure you are not selecting a whole album?

Itunes 12 will not allow you to paste album covers into the get info section of albums or indivial songs it makes you go to another area on your computer

I tried to do a cut and paste like I used to do for album covers that iTunes doesn't carry( go figure) and the 12 version wont let you instead it has a window pop up for pictures that your suppose to direct it to get the artwork from. That's a lot of work! All I can say is simplify and do more research before the next release. also iTunes has always had problems freezing up. This verion and past verisons. I'd go to a different player put I've already invested thousands of dollars in my iTunes media and the earlier stuff doesn't play on different players. So here I am stuck.

The iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

ITunes update to 4.0 requires checking 32-bit mode in "Get Info" window. No such checkbox exists. iTunes refuses to launch. iMac 27-in., Mac OS 10.6.8. Tried re-installing iTunes 4, but went into infinite loop while in "Registering Installed Components"

After updating to iTunes 4, launching the application indicated that 64-bit mode was only available in Mac OS 10.7 Lion and to use in 32-bit mode by checking the 32-bit mode checkbox in the iTunes "Get Info" window. However, this window does not have the aforementioned checkbox. Thus, iTunes is now unusable. Tried to download fresh install from Apple site, but this process went into an infinite loop during the "registering installed components" phase of the installation. Had to force quit. System is iMac 27-inch, Core i7 processor, Mac OS 10.6.8. Is there a problem with iTunes 4? Can I go back to the previous version? Thanks.

Ah! I found several other people with the same problem in this forum. I followed the suggestion to move iTunes 4 from the "Applications" to the desktop and launch it from there. It worked! I moved it back into the Application folder and its still okay. Thanks! This is a definitely a bug that Apple needs to address quickly.
