How do I search for a song with the name I typed on my iPhone?

I run into this a lot and it is extremely frustrating. I want to find a song like "Menuetti", but the search results end up with hundreds of variations of "Menuetto". Even though I know Menuetti is there somewhere, I can't find the song I am looking for because there is so much garbage returned. Is there any way to get the iTunes store to return the few songs with the name I asked for rather than the hundreds with the name I did not?

How do you search for a song in the latest version of ITunes??

How do you search for a song in the latest version of ITunes??
Yes this might be the stupidest question ever, but leave it to Apple to make the simplest thing hard.
In EVERY version of Itunes, up until 11, you used to be able to type an artists name, song name, or album into the search field and it would narrow it down so that you can see what you are looking for (in the list below). Now, Itunes tells you that you have music by said artist, yet doesn't list them whatsoever. Furthermore, when you click on the results it doesn't list them for you either.
I'm sure it is some weird setting, but cannot for the life of me find. I cannot name one application that doesn't show a list when you type in the search field. Augh!
Please help.

When in i-tunes 11 mac, how do i search for a song as well as a genre at the same time?

when in i-tunes 11 mac, how do i search for a song as well as a genre at the same time?

If you mean searching for a song that you already have in your Library, then you can select "Music" first. Then, go across horizontally to Genres and select that; then by using the drop-down menu found under "View" & (of course) select "View Options"-- you will be presented with a limited # of choices to sort by.
My iTunes 11.0.5 shows 4 parameters to choose from: Title, Artist, Year and Rating. Then you can sort & finally...
Enjoy,
mm~

Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and...

Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

why do you waste time here when you rarely get any answers to your questions?

HT1711 how do i search for a song by title

How do I search I-tunes store for a song by the title?

Correct, that is what he said.
But if you tap the Store button in the top right corner of the Newstand app, iOS will do it for you and open the Store app to the Newstand apps, but there is no Search feature there. You find the Search feature on the Featured pane, as he said.

How do I search for a bookmark folder by name in Safari?

How do I search for a particular bookmark folder in Mac Safari 7.06? Since there seems to be no automated way to sort the folders (as in other browsers), in a long list of folders, a particular one can be hard to spot. Yes yes, very similar to a previous question of mine. -jan

Click "Help" menu in the Safari menu bar and enter the folder name in the search box.

In Lr 3.6 how can I search for filenames ending with a # character ?

The text search seems to treat the # character in some mysterious way so as to not select the files that have it in their name. I cannot find any explanation for this in the documentation. Is there some other character(s) that I have to put beside the # to make it register as a normal character ?
My specific problem is that I need to locate a bunch of files in my catalog that have names ending with a # character. I want to rename those files in a way that removes the trailing # but not other # characters that separate key parts of the file names. If I can't do that then I want to select that group of files and produce .xmp files for them (I don't normally use .xmp files) so that I can rename the files outside Lr and import them again complete with all previous tweaks and metadata.
I dare say that I would not choose to name files this way if I started again but I've got far too many to change now.
There are also too many for me to want to rename them individually in the Metadata panel if I can avoid it.
I'm using Lr 3.6 on Mac OSX 10.6.8
cheers,

You guys beat me to the answer, which I discovered more by accident than good management.
Firstly, I had used the # characters because they looked good in list views such as in Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder. That was from before I got into using Lr and I was trying and using several different programs to manage my photos. Then I found that trailing # characters prevented Lr from recognizing the number at the "end" of the file name and so I wanted to delete them.
Secondly, I got into the Lr rename facility initially to replace what I did with Downloader Pro before switching from Windows to Mac and subsequently found that there is no way to delete a trailing character, but it helped establish in my mind that to Lr the "filename" was just the first part of the name before the full stop and the extension (e.g. .cr2 or .nef or .jpg). Try it - there is a "filename" token for setting up a naming structure that ignores the extension and its full stop.
This was further reinforced in Library Grid View where the filename and the extension are separated and the extension is not displayed.
So having used F2 (rename) before I got around to playing with the text search I was set up for failure. Looking for {filename ends with #} or {filename ends with #.} failed because it found nothing as none of my files had a # or #. after the filename extension, and looking for {filename contains #} also failed because it found all of my files instead of just those with the trailing #. I wrongly thought that Lr had trouble seeing a # in the text search.
Now I have been able to find and select all files with a trailing # in the base part of the filename by looking for {filename contains #.} and generate current .xmp files for them. Then I went outside Lr and used a utility file renamer to get rid of the offending # for the image files and the .xmp files in bulk. Then I re-synchronized the folder(s) in Lr to import those renamed files back into Lr along with all of the metadata, and get rid of the old files from the catalog. Had those files been a part of a collection or stack then I suspect that membership of the collection or stack would have been lost but it kept the keywords, ratings, labels, and image tweaks. Then I got rid of the .xmp files again because I prefer to work without them (less clutter and less chance of other software separating them from the image files).
So much easier than doing it the hard way
Thanks for your help.

How do I search for a string in the Text tab of the Layers panel

I have a world map with a text layer for country names. I hide the country names as needed by clicking on the 'eye' icon for Toggle Visibility in the Layers panel. I've inadvertently hidden one name and I need to know how to find it in the Text panel so I can make it visible again. How do I seatrch for a name in the Text panel?

Just in case there is an unlocked and visible object close to the hidden one in the stacking order, you may select that object right on the artboard and then go to the Layers palette menu and take the Locate Object command.
Of course, this would be just one possible workaround to locate the hidden objects a bit easier.

How do remove thousands of duplicate songs with the same date?

Brand new mac book pro. Made the move from windows. Migration asst moved music from pc to itunes. I also have iPhone/iPad2. Now I have 2-4 versions of every song and they all have the same date. How can I get down to just one version of each song?

Yes there is a way. Post back with the following information:
1. With respect to your home directory, what is the exact folder that the files are in (ie, are they in the Documents folder, or in a subfolder within the Documents folder). What are the exact names (caps included) of these directories?
2. What is the exact name scheme of the files? You mentioned they are incremented numerically, but what are the rest of the files' names (again, capitalization is important)?
With this information, there are several ways to approach the problem, which will basically be four steps to ensure you do not inadvertently remove files you wish to keep:
1. Create a new folder to temporarily house the files.
2. Issue a command to target the files by name and move them into a separate folder.
3. Check the old parent folder to ensure nothing is missing, and optionally check the names of the moved items.
4. Finally delete the contents of the temporary folder, along with the folder itself.
The specifics of these steps will depend on the names of the files and the folder that they are in, so provide as much information as you can about that, and we can work through the steps.

How do I search for a stock in the stock application

I have plenty of foreign stocks I follow loaded onto the homepage of my iPhone's default Stock App. But when I search for a specific ETF I want to follow, I can't find it. I am unsure what name to give it. Is there an online database I can use to see the correct ticker to enter in my Stock App?

Thanks, but that's a very strange an incomplete list. It doesn't even have Samsung Electronics (which I was able to load to my homepage), let alone the MSCI Korea Korean ticker. Maybe iPhone's default Stocks app just doesn't have access to everything over there.

My music on the iPod touch 4g isn't sorted out by little sections anymore. For example songs with the letter A and then there will be a marker for all A lettered songs, but my ipod does not do that to all of my music. How can i fix this?

My music on itunes doesn't have the markers anymore, how can i fix this?
So my songs should be listed like this:
A
Advice
B
Bang
C
Chinter's will
K
KannaZuki No Miko
L
Lights

The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

When I'm in a playlist, how can I search for a song within it

I can only search my entire library whereas I used to be able to search within the playlist. I'm sure it can still be done.

Hi Busygirl, it sounds as though Firefox is handing that email off to Outlook Express, or another program that isn't set up.
If you want to use a Gmail or Yahoo mail account for sending the link, you can set that up as follows:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
In the search box above the list of file types, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause while the list is filtered. In the drop-down on the right, choose Gmail or Yahoo.
If it's a different service, and it's not already on that drop-down, then there is a setup step you need to do first. That's going to be different for each service... let us know which one.

Hello Arun,
i already tried to search by the Portal Content / Search tab, but it doesn't help, and just looks through name, description and ID of the objects.
There might be another way (even if it's a coding one) to do this no ?
Thanks again for your answer.
