ITunes window switch to front while "Get Info" window is open

Hi everyone.
When you pick Get Info option from menu on any object in your library iTunes window will switch to front in about 30 seconds (probably works on every platform and iTunes version).
I have to use iTunes since september and so far I haven't found this "feature" any other than annoying.
How can I stop this?

OK
I found sollution.azndragon168 thank you. https://discussions.apple.com/message/10164613#10164613
Shame. I tried twice unsupportive apple support and they say This is how it supposed to be...

  • 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.

    I have the same problem since I installed iTunes 11.1.0.126.

  • It is no longer possible to use ALT + N and ALT + P from the "get info" window.

    On a PC, previously, when in the "get info" windows, it was possible to use ALT + N and ALT + P to switch to the song information for the next and previous song.  Since the update to the newest iTunes, it's no longer possible.  Has anybody found a keyboard shortcut that works?  The "keyboard shortcut" thing in iTunes says you can still use ALT + N, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.  Is it working for anybody else?

    You're welcome.

  • Can you see a image in the Get Info Window?

    After upgrading to Mt LIon and while using CS6, I can't see image previews in the Get Info window.  Can't see images in the upper left corner of the get info window, so I can't make a selection and then do a copy- paste like I could do before I upgraded to Mt Lion with CS6.  I want to be able to paste a image of the subjects in my folders..  IE folder of Panda Bears would have a image of a Panda showing on that folder.  Folder of The Great Wall would have a image of the Great Wall on the Folder of Great Wall pictures.  This has always worked for the past many years I have used a Mac and Photoshop.  I started with Photoshop 2.  All my photo folders are represented by images so I have a good idea of what is contained in each folder.  Now after 2 weeks in China, 20 folders are represented by 10-11-12, 10-12-12, 10-13-12, 10-14-12 and so on.  Shows me nothing but dates.  I have tried saving as Jpeg, Tiff, and PAD, and still can't  do a copy-paste in the Get Info window.   Apple says it is a Adobe problem, Yesterday Adobe told me it is because I am uusing a Nikon D800 and Adobe does not have a  patcdh for the NEW Nikon camera.  I then tried using my Nikon D2Xs, Nikon D3X, Nikon 800 and even my wife's D50 and none of these camera allow me to copy paste the thumbnail image to the clipoboard like I have been able to do for YEARS...   I can see images in a folder in Bridge, but the images dont show in my desktop folders.IE, a folder on my desktop with 200 pictures only show with words/ numbers/letters NO IMAGES appear in the folders on the desktop.  On some folders the folders in a folder don't show up as Folders either.
    Can Any one help me.  Same thing happens on my MACPRO w 16 GB Ram and on my 17" MacBook Pro.

    I can't blame you for saying that.
    Adobe is the clear owner of the responsibility to make functional their product that they claim is compatible with your operating system.  Adobe is the one who sold you the product.
    I just went looking for what Adobe has said about Mountain Lion compatibility, and they both list Mountain Lion as compatible and include such language as that on this page (emphasis mine):
    Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Suite® 5, 5.5 and CS6 editions and individual products for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8). Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop® (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues.
    I suggest that Adobe needs to get on the ball and get this fixed.  The time for user patience is over.
    If someone from Adobe is saying "Adobe can't fix it" then that someone is at the wrong authority level and/or is thinking on the wrong level.
    This is business and the business is making products that have value and are sold to people who perceive that value.  Adobe doesn't get to keep selling products that don't work while standing on principles that "it's someone else's problem".   Customers don't care why it doesn't work. 
    It's obvious to a child that if Photoshop CS5 can write the proper things to the Apple OS so that the thumbnails are visible, that there's something Adobe could do to fix it.
    But EVEN IF this were something only Apple could fix, that Apple hasn't fixed it yet says pretty loudly that Adobe isn't making the right overtures to Apple for their mutual benefit.  Adobe, are your executives so greedy that they can't grease a few palms of their friends over at Apple to put some priority on this?  What's the problem here?  Has Adobe actually forgotten how to do business?
    -Noel
    P.S., You should know that I don't use a Mac and am personally having no issues with seeing proper thumbnails and previews on my Windows 7 and 8 systems, since the software that does that isn't from Adobe.

  • How do I make my iPhoto Library's version number appear in the Get Info window?

    I recently (within the past 2 weeks) purchased a new 27 inch iMac and have been importing data (applications and files) from my 2010 Macbook Pro via AirDrop.  One of the first files I migrated over was my iPhoto Library.  I doing so, I noticed a few differences between its file attributes and those of the iPhoto Library file created by default on my new computer - two of which I'll note here.  First, I noticed that the file resident on my new OS was labeled iPhoto Library.photolibrary while my older version did not have the ".photolibrary" extension.  That seemed simple enough to correct so I added that extension to my old library file.  The second difference I'd note - and the source of my question - is that the default iPhoto Library file displayed a version number (9.5.1) in its "Get Info" window, while mine did not.  I checked my file's info.plist file and the correct information seems to be listed.  It reads (in part):
    <dict>
                   <key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
                   <string>iPhoto Libary 9.5.1</string>
                   <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
                   <string>9.5.1</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    I'm not sure this is really a question for the iPhoto community, as it seems like a more general issue; but, this is my first post to these forums, and I didn't know where to start.  Thanks in advance for the advise/suggestions.

    In terms of the info.plist file, I only reviewed it to see why I wasn't seeing the version number in the GetInfo window.
    The string "<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
                   <string>iPhoto Libary 9.5.1</string>"
    is exactly what will be shown in the Get Info panel. I tested that by simply editing this string in a test library using XCode. I could "Get Info" to show ridiculous versions numbers this way.
    However, none of my older iPhoto libraries will show the version string in Get Info, only libraries I created with iPhoto 9.5.1. or Aperture 3.3 or later.
    There is probably one of the other database files in the folder "database" - *.appdb and *.db  interfering.  None of the Library First Aid options did make the version number show for my older iPhoto libraries - not even rebuilding the iPhoto library. The only way I could make the version number show in "Get Info" was by exporting the library as a new library using Aperture. But this exported library is now showing as Aperture library.

  • Multiple Dates in Get Info Window

    Hello,
    We have an iMac running OS 9.2.2.
    I just noticed this the other day: I'm finding multiple dates in the Created and Modified fields in the Get Info window. For example, on a document I created today, the date reads: WedWed SepMay 63 20062006
    Apparently, Wed May3 2006 is being added to all the Created and Modified fields for all our documents.
    Has anyone experienced this or know how to remedy it?
    Thanks.

    See if rebuilding your desktop helps. Use Techtool Lite or Trash*Desktop (TD may delete Finder comments )to rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Does a better job than manually & you avoid all the finger gymnatics. You just have to hold down the shift key to shut off extensions.
    Restart to turn the extensions back on again.
    If you want to rebuild manually, see KB article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=10182 Rebuilding Desktop File and Icon Recovery.
    If rebuilding does not work, then try booting from your system install cd (the one that originally came w/your comp) while holding down the c key & run Disk First Aid from the Utilities folder. Have DFA repair any errors it finds. If unable to repair you will need to run a 3rd party utility cd.

  • ICal Calendar Get Info Window not appearing

    MB Pro Lion 10.7.2
    I'm trying to change the color of a calendar in iCal. The calendar is syncing to an Exchange server.
    I click the Calendars button in the upper left corner of the iCal window, then right click on the calendar. From the contextual menu, I choose "Get Info." The command blinks in response, but no Info window appears. The Get Info window appears for other calendars (e.g., Google Calendar syncing via CalDAV). The Get Info window appears for individual events on this calendar, but not for the calendar as a whole.
    Since I'm only trying to change the color as it's displayed in iCal on my Mac, I don't see why this calendar refuses to show its Info window.
    I've tried unchecking and rechecking the calendar from the list of visible calendars. I've tried unchecking all calendars but this one.
    I've tried removing the .plist files for iCal from my ~/Library/Preferences/ folder to no avail.
    I've tried removing the account from iCal and re-adding it, also to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Well done, Ian! Nice solution to changing the colors. I played around with this a bit and found a way to choose the color from the color wheel by changing the code just slightly.
    tell application "iCal"
              set color of calendar "Calendar" to choose color default color {0, 0, 0}
    end tell
    You have to switch views or calendars and then click on an event in the calendar whose color you just changed to see the new color. Which leads to this slightly more automated solution:
    property targetCalendar : "Calendar" as string
    tell application "iCal"
    tell calendar targetCalendar
                             set color to choose color default color {0, 0, 0}
           switch view to month view
           switch view to week view
           switch view to day view
                             show first event
      end tell
    end tell
    The switch view statements just ensure that the update becomes visible. (I've not been able to see how to get iCal to tell me what the current view is when the script runs so the script can switch back to it)
    Still, the Get Info window should still appear when you select it from the context menu.

  • HT5338 In the referenced article, can ownership be changed through the Get info. window?

    I'd like to know for ease of remembering if step 13 in the article could be accomplished though the user folder's Get Info. properyt window in the Finder?
    (hey! if I could keep the arcane UNIX commands in my head storage, I wouldn't be loving me' Mac so much!!! Also, who wants to make a mistake through a typo dealing with the cryptic, unfriendly commands in the terminal window?! I stay away from it unless I absolutely have to.)
    The options seem to be there in the Finder Get info window. But does the UNIX command accomplish something behind the scenes, subtle, that the Finder operation doesn't?

    MrHoffman,
    Thanks but I don't normally dabble with either this command or gen. any other terminal commands with "any regularity" Ofcourse now that I am inadvertantly wandering into the "Administration" territory with the server, that might change slightly!
    Considering your backgroud (yes! you are famous around here ) I can see why you would say "it's just as feasible and just as possible to mess things up with the GUI tools here — the GUI is often a multi-step process, and it's possible to get the settings wrong in various ways — as with the Unix commands." While I do see the advantage of using UNIX commands in certain situations (when for example there's no equivalent command in the GUI etc) treating them both the same in terms of the operator's likelyhood of introducing an error while performing a given command (esp. in this case) is stretching it a bit don't you think?! Is it possibe that the space / context where you come from, your comfort level with the terminal / UNIX commands and because you have spent so much time with the UNIX commandline is perhaps the cause of this subjective opinion? This ofcourse doesn't mean I haven't see people "mess things up" royally through the GUI but I think it has more to do with the operator in that case (pushing a button for example without fully comprehending the context and meaning of the action, being in a hurry etc). But I think a larger percentage of people are more likely to err while typing (esp.) a complex command than using a GUI. I thought THAT is one of the reasons why GUI-based computer interface such as that on the Mac is more ubiquitous in these modern times than the UNIX / text-based interface
    In any case, thanks for the help! Much appreciated.

  • Can't write to Desktop ƒ; contradictory permissions info in the Get Info window

    I don't have write permission for my Desktop folder.
    In the folder's Get Info window, under Sharing & Permissions, it reports a contradiction:  it says "You can only read," and at the same time under Privilege it says I have "Read & Write" access. If try I use the popup menu to change "Read & Write" to something else, it goes right back to "Read & Write" upon releasing the menu.  At any rate, "You can only read" is the correct part of the contradictory info.
    My account is an Admin account.  I am typing the correct password to unlock the fields in the Get Info window.  I've tried repairing permissions in Disk Utility, and that didn't help.
    A user named bennarsson reported the exact same problem in this thread:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3039851?start=0&tstart=0
    baltwo responded that "If you've selected your Desktop folder, then something is extremely wrong if it says You can only read, while showing you under name with read and write privileges."  No kidding!  Other than that, bennarsson didn't get any solution to the problem. 
    Any ideas?  It's pretty frustrating not being able to modify anything in my Desktop folder!

    Try this. Launch the Terminal app in /Utilities, copy & paste this this command into TextEdit, substitute your actual username for the placeholder, copy and paste it into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. So if your username was mike, it would be sudo chown -R mike:admin ~/Desktop
    sudo chown -R username:admin ~/Desktop
    When the Password: prompt pops up, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the return key. That should do it.

  • What is the work around for not being able to see icons for folders.  I want to be able to copy and paste image icons in the GET INFO windows.

    I have always used images for my folder icons, and now I am told that Mt. Lion does not allow me to go to the GET INFO window and do a click on the image icon and then be able to paste that image on to other folders.    I just talked with a Apple support guy and he said that Mt. Lion does not support this function.  He did say that there are third party programs that allow using images to make icons for folders or other items.  I can see some image icon in some of my hard drive folders.......  some folders show image icons while others do not. I am a photographer and have scads of photo folders spread all over different hard drives, and I find it easier to find what I am looking for by just looking at the IMAGE PICTURE in the different folders on my hard drives, than by having to read the one or two words associated with each folder.
    THe support guy said to request that APPLE put back the ability to use the coy paste function in the GET INFO window.  If i can't get this working like it was I wouyld like to know how to get a refund and throw out Mt Lion.

    Restore your Lion bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup and file your ML bug report. Just keep the installer ($20 USD isn't worth the hassle trying to get it refunded). Then, when the function's restored, reinstall and run Software Update.

  • Album artwork doesn't show up on Get Info window?

    I downloaded iTunes 7. Now, when I open the Get Info window and go to the artwork tab, the artwork doesn't show up, even though I can see it in the regular iTunes window! Help? Anyone?

    iTunes 7 does some stupid things with the artwork. The artwork tab in Get Info is the artwork that is contained inside the music file. iTunes 7 also downloads artwork for songs but then it doesn't store it inside the song file -- it just puts in in a folder on the computer.

  • Get info Window stuck on "fetching"

    In my user folder, when I go to "Get Info" I see that on one of the entities which has permissions is "Fetching".  I came across this problem after I had to restore the system via Time Machine. Later,when I noticed that my trash was automagically emptying, as if I were a guest. When I went to the Get Info window I was not listed. I added myself and applied Read/Write to all enclosed items, however I began to have a lot of problems. Mail wouldn't allow me to move a message, Safari 5.1.7 wouldn't keep extensions and when I rebooted the system wanted me to set up Mail. I ran Disk Utility, but there was no improvement.
    Now, I've switched to a recently cloned disk, cloned after the Restore operation, and I see the same behavior in the Get Info window. I have added myself, but have not clicked "apply to all enclosed items". The machine seems to be running fine, but the fetching mystery is still there.

    Select the volume icon in the Finder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your administrator password when prompted. Check the box at the bottom marked
              Ignore ownership on this volume
    Close the Info window.

  • I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message.

    I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message. Now I can't use iTunes at all. Any ideas?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • The latest version of Pages does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'!  Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window?

    The latest version of Mavericks does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'!  Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window?  As Pages templates cannot be ordered in folders, my many templates are effectively unusable now and I need to find another way to order and access them.

    Are you aware of that you can still use Pages 09 on Mavericks? You don't have to go thru the grieves of using the crippled Pages 5. Pages 09 should bi in Applications/iWork 09 folder.
