How to move meta information in TwentyTwelve's single post template?

Question

How can I move a single post's meta data to it's headline? I tried single.php and content_page.php, but could not find it.

I am using the recent Wordpress 3.5.1 with the standard theme TwentyTwelve.

See the screenshot (sorry, it's in German) for clarification: Screenshot of a single post

How are you displaying the meta line? Can you give me the site url so that i will fing from which template it is coming.. — Vinod Dalvi, Commented Mar 17, 2013 at 9:58
The answer to this question is highly dependent on the theme you are using. Hence it is borderline to too localized. To conclude with something constructive: 1. Search your theme files for the markup <footer class="entry-meta">. 2. Install the Firebug extension for FF or use Chrome's Element Inspector. The Firefox native solution isn't half as powerful. — Johannes Pille, Commented Mar 17, 2013 at 10:10
I updated my question. As I refer to a standard installation with standard theme, I think this question is not too localized, but a very common customization question. — mcbetz, Commented Mar 17, 2013 at 11:38
Since you now shed some light on what theme it is you are using, the question became answerable. I still think this to be a rather particular issue, though. — Johannes Pille, Commented Mar 17, 2013 at 11:54

Given that it is TwentyTwelve you're dealing with, check the file content.php:

The relevant code block is between the lines 44 and 63 and will have to move below line 31.

For the sake of semantics, the element should not be a <footer> element anymore, make it a <div> or a <section>.
