Right Click "Get Info"-style function for OPEN Documents
Often I'll open an item (most commonly a Pages doc.) through Spotlight, and not knowing where the item is necessarily filed, not even sure if it's Mac vs. iCloud, I would love a way to bring up the pertinent information on this already open item, the kind of info you could get by Right Clicking the item in Finder (see the problem - I don't know where the file is - also Finder searches seem increasingly useless for some reason.) I've searched through toolbar, right clicking, etc., no joy.
Is there perhaps a "show current document in Finder" function, the way there is for files in iTunes? That would would be great - instant file path view in the window, Right Click Info. one step away.
Hopefully there's a simple answer I've overlooked, or a relatively simple workaround. Or maybe even if if someone has any suggestions for making Finder searches work again - I'm completely stymied by the fact that it seems unable to find just about anything any more. It was never great, but at least until recently I found it reasonably functional. What happened? Links to other threads welcome.
Thanks, peace be with you!
Brian
Control (right) - click on the file name at the top of the Pages window (or any other application window) and the file path will be disiplayed:

Renaming the song title by right click -- Get Info. But no longer able to do so.
I used to rename the songs in my iTunes from my PC while it was connecting to my iPhone by right click and Get Info. But I am no longer able to do that. When I right click, the Get Info part seems to be disabled for editing? Why is it so?
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Right click get info menu missing in new itunes store
Before the update if i couldn't get the album artwork for an album i had imported from a CD i would find album and one of its tracks on the store, right click it and select "get info". I would then see a dialogue box containing the pertinent information about the song such as title, artist name, composer, album artist, year, track number. If i then copied this information into the "get info" box of the song in my itunes library and tried to get the album artwork again, more often than not it worked.
now when i load up the itunes store and find the song i want to check the tags for i can no longer right click on it to get the information, i can only left click it to play a sample.
is it possible to access the "get info" information in the store anymore, if not does anyone have any good suggestions for fixing the tags on songs so that itunes recognises them and will download artwork for them and recognise them for genius.
thanks
MattI havent tried it yet, but a partial solution appears to be downgrading.
this will at least get the functionality back,

I've added a pdf to itunes and i want to change it so its visible with an album (digital booklet). But for some reason, when i click get info, its all greyed out and the little box for read only is unticked. please help - urgent! thanks
Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

Option Click Get Info for Old GUI?
The new GUI for Get Info in iTunes 12 is not only incredibly lacking but also an insult to long time iTunes users.
It makes the most simple of tasks become incredibly laborious.
For starters I am trying to add the "track x of x" field and cannot for the life of me find where to add that field to the new GUI.
Secondly, adding album artwork is ridiculous. I either have to scan the cover of my CD I just ripped or search the internet for the image, download it to my computer then upload it into iTunes? For real? lol.
So I googled and found many others like me questioning how iTunes 12 even came to be.... and they had a simple trick to bring back the old Get Info GUI. Simply hold down the option key as you click "Get Info."
That worked for a day or so. Now it doesn't work any more. I didn't update any software since it worked the first time.
Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong. I simply want to use the old Get Info GUI rather than being forced to succumb to the major disaster iTunes 12 has turned out to be.
Thank you.FWIW
I'm running OS 10.9.5 and iTunes 12.1.0.5.
I'd change that in my profile/signature but why should that be an easy task as well? -
Right clicking anything in web pages (for an example, when I want to open a link in a new window) it just gives me some grey box. How do I fix this?

BW Error on Portal, Right Click gets (Internet Explorer) Menu
Hi Experts,
Our Netweaver Portal is 2004s. There is BW system also in the landscape whose reports are fetched and displayed on the portal. I get the errors when I navigate to (Role) -> GroupReports (Workset) -> Cockpit - > Customer Projects -> Plan Cost Quality -> Market Unit.
Now when I click on Market Unit (in detailed Navigation), its generates a Chart (Image) in the content Area which has many Market Units on the screen. From the list of Market Units in this Image I select any Market unit then Right Click on "Market Unit"- >GoTo-> Projects : Plan Cost Quality by Company. (This right Click gets me BW TYPE of options for DrillDown etc).
It processes and gets me the Name of the Market unit in the NAVIGATION BLOCK. In this Navigation Block, if I right Click on "BUYING CUSTOMER", it gets me a Internet Explorer (Right Click) Menu (with options like OPEN, OPEN IN NEW WINDOW, SAVE TARGET AS..., PRINT TARGET etc ) and not a BW iView Menu that allows me facilities like DRILL DOWN etc.
There are these JAVA SCRIPT ERRORS at the bottom of the browser (left Side - with a message "Done but with errors on page"), when this page is loading after I do Right Click on Market Unit"- >GoTo-> Projects : Plan Cost Quality by Company.
Following are the Java Script Errors in order of NEXT:
1. 'SAPBWJSgdo' is null or not an object
2. Permission Denied.
Plz suggest what needs to be done to resolve this issue.

Can't open new tab by going to file/new tab (or CTRL+T or clicking on the new tab field). Only way is to right click on a link and choose open in new tab.
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
The only way I can open a new tab in Firefox is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY don't the other means work?
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons -
Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library. I can restore the artwork (and make my apple tv see the movie exists as well) by going into the movie library and clicking on each movie by hand, slecting get info, and then selecting enter. Now doing this 10 times in 20 days was fun and all BUT I would really like to automate the process so everytime itunes screws it up I can fix it easier.
I saw this example of an itunes script that restores artwork for music
tell application "iTunes" set theSelection to selection repeat with i from 1 to count of theSelection tell (item i of theSelection) set artworkCount to count of artwork repeat artworkCount times set theArtwork to data of artwork 1 delete artwork 1 set data of artwork artworkCount to theArtwork end repeat end tell end repeat end tell
but I need to tweak this to fit my needs for simply clicking the "get info" button and "enter" in the movie library rather than all the stuff this guy has listed. Any ideas or help on writing this? Thanks.Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Hi! I would like to know if there is any possibility to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users. I know that's possible to edit userContent.css or userChrome.css, but this concerns only a profile at a time and being in a domain, I would like to set this for all people using Firefox.
Can it be possible to edit a mozilla.cfg file to get the same result?
Thank you in advance for help and tips.AFAIK then there is no way to do that system wide. You can only do that via userChrome.css or an extension like the Menu Editor per profile .You can install extensions globally, but the user will have to enable them anyway. That is not required for userChrome.css code.
