Itunes 8 permanently searches for remote airport speakers

Hi All
I recently re-built my computer (format hard drive the re-install window XP etc.)
I installed iTunes and it worked ok.
I installed airport express but it didnt work well until i download the newer admin utility the appreared ok. When i tried to use the "Multiple Speakers" option all came unstuck
Itunes now loads and shows the library but is permanently searching for the remote speakers.
I have unistalled everything apple including the updates bonjour, quicktime and itunes, check the program files directory to make sure everthing is gone etc.
It still exibit the same fault of searching for the remote speakers. hing can be done to break the sycle short of using task manager to kill itunes.
I have repeated the process of uninstall many times. even intalling before install air express but it still seems to know about the remote speakers.
tried searching the registry but cvould find anything sensible
all ideas would be appreciated
Graeme

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port). I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive? I don't have enough space to do that.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

Option to disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers?

I have noticed that with iTunes 10, the option to disable the volume control for remote speakers seems to have disappeared from Preferences>Devices. If you click the "?" button, the help window gives an explanation of what its for but the option to check/uncheck it clearly isn't there. Since iTunes 10, streaming my music from my iMac to my Denon receiver via Airtunes/Airplay with an Airport Express has been disappointing. The volume is far too low. With version 9 and every version prior, the volume control option was always there in preferences and I always had it disabled; music came through loud and clear but since this option appears to no longer exist, the volume through the Denon receiver fails to impress, even with the iTunes volume slider at max.
Anyone else noticed steaming volume too low? If so, agree that it's a bug?
Message was edited by: Brian I.

I wholeheartedly agree with "I also used to disable the volume control to reduce the amount that my computer interferes with the sound before it gets to the external DAC." There is no reason why Apple shouldn't restore this important setting option as the volume control does negatively affect sound quality in a high-end set-up and we'd rather not just take their word for it that the volume control's maximum setting is the same as disabling it. Why does the volume slider change the output level even when using the Airport Express' digital output? It shouldn't, and it seems the sound is now being force sent through a stupid digital volume control for no good reason. If for no other reason the "disable" option should be restored to avoid inadvertent volume changes via the Remote app for iPod Touch and iPhone. Strangely as compared to several other posts here, my perceived volume level now seems louder than before, not softer as others are reporting. People that are serious about sound quality do not want iTunes or AirPlay (formerly AirTunes) to manipulate the volume level or any other aspect of the sound at all ever, as it can't help but only hurt. I also thought the "disable" setting was available in the Airport Utility previously, but it's vanished from there too.

Labview developer-search for remote work

I have 3 year experience as Labview developer. I have good skils in controling devices using different interfaces and automated tests.
I'm searching for some small projects which can be resolved using remote work. If necessary I can travel several time (in Europe).
Also I can aproach any specific project if initial data & rquirement are very clear defined and is no time presure.

Need itunes to search for music!!

I can't figure out how to get itunes to search my hard drive for music. Since all kinds of problems with installing new version (old one wiped out entirely) finally got it to open, (two months later) now there's almost no music. Two 50 cent albums, nothing else. None of the good stuff.
My stuff is still on windows media player (thank god for Microsoft). How do I get itunes to look for it and copy it to itunes? (Like the old version did!!!)
Thanks.

Hello dis-appointed,
In the Help for iTunes for Mac, the following answer comes up to the query “Search for files”. I suspect that the second one will be the most relevant for you. I presume you can do that via the “Find” facility from the Start menu.
I agree that it would be good to be able to search in the way that the older versions did.
Quoted from iTunes Help for Mac
Here are ways to make your songs appear in the library again:
• In the Finder, drag your iTunes Music folder to the iTunes window. You will see the songs in your library again, but not playlists, song ratings, or other information you created.
• If that doesn't work, your songs may be elsewhere on your hard disk. In the Finder, choose File > Find and search for a song by title or artist. Or search for "MP4" to find files downloaded from the iTunes Store or "MP3" to find songs encoded in MP3 format. Drag songs (or folders containing songs) to the iTunes window to add the songs to iTunes again.
Best of luck,
Martin

ITunes AUTO search for missing songs REQUEST

I'm writing to find if there is a way to make my life MUCH easier when moving music files between locations.
Currently my setup is:
Music files on networked PC
iTunes on my G4
The problem is, I refuse to allow iTunes to manage my own files, and it would be impossible with my current networked configuration. However, if I move a file between folders; iTunes give the exclaimation mark saying that it can't find the file.
First problem: using 10.2, the file browser only lets me view about 20 characters, which is hard to distinguish what file it is. But my major second problem, is that if I move several files; I don't want to have to find EACH file. Reimporting the files, loses the play count and sometimes the ratings.
Is there a way that iTunes will search a new folder (assuming the file name is the same?)??

I am with digitaljoe . . . this should be addressed by Apple because it is weak that iTunes is so "stupid" that it can't relink files with a simple prompting by a user. It's not hard technology or programming (for example, Adobe's After Effects can almost always relink ALL missing files simply by showing it where one of the missing files is - even when the rest of the files are on different file paths). The idea that a library that can number in the thousands of songs is limited to relinking one file at a time is a real detriment to this type of program and Apple should have been way on top of this issue.

ITunes app search for CC members

Hello All,
I was wondering if someone who has submitted a single edition magazine (app) to the iTunes store could share how to search for an app created with a CC account?
I'm nearing the completion of my first DPS publication for iPad and would like to make it available through iTunes, although I noticed there is no search feature on the iPad UI. All of the newsstand publications that I see via the iPad UI are namebrand multi-edition (in app purchases) and I'm wondering how independent single edition publishers like myself who use CC get noticed?
Thanks!

Photoshop Touch needs to be purchased separately, sorry.

Nope. I know, it's frustrating.

Search for [Remote Key] and [Remote System] in Data Manager

Hello all
I would like to be able to search on the remote key and the remote system in the MDM Data Manager is that not possible? I thought I remembered seeing that possibility under the Free-Form Search but now I can't find it.
I have, however, found this in the Data Manager reference guide:
REMOTE SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEY FIELDS
MDM uses the remote systems defined in the Remote Systems table
within the MDM Console to store and maintain key mapping information
for each record or text attribute. It does this using a virtual key
mapping field that you never see in the MDM Client.
This virtual key mapping field is very much like a qualified lookup field
into a virtual key mapping qualified lookup table.
Key Mapping information stored in virtual lookup field
The Remote System and Remote Key fields are normally not visible;
however, they do appear in several places in the MDM Client.
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record
mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import
dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the
Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode,
for viewing and editing value pairs.
Is there any way to search on the value in the remote key from the Data Manager?

Not sure search i think not possible.
But you can see keys as mentioned:
Enable Key mapping in Console.
MDM Client maens MDM Data Manager.
They do appear in several places in the MDM Client or Data Manager. Three different methods to see in DM are given already below:
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode, for viewing and editing value pairs.

ITunes 10 search for exact match or Boolean Searches

Is there a way to force an exact match when performing a search in iTunes?
I tried putting "" around my search and get no results.
The goal would be to search Artists for the artist "Hem", and only show results for only "Hem" and not both "Hem" and "Edie Brickel and the New Bohemians"
As far as I can tell there are no Boolean search options in here either.

Thanks,
I know Smart Playlists is a workaround for this, but that is about that is about 6 clicks plus typing to accomplish what could be done by simply typing in "hem" in the search field. If you use Smart Playlists for this, you would also need to go back and delete the playlist when you are done.
Yep, like I said I leave it there for next time....
I wonder why they would leave what is now a universally understood search option out of iTunes?
Who knows? Feature requests go to iTunes Feedback.

How Do I Set Up Itunes To Search For Songs In An External Hard Drive?

I would like to keep my music on an external hard drive, how do I set up Itunes so that it goes right to that drive and folder when updating or the Itunes store placing the songs I purchase in the external drive?

Ok, here's my deal. I backed up our old laptop onto an external drive. We got the new laptop and my wife bought a new iPod. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes onto the new computer and posted the questions above. I guess I need more help so here goes.
Is there a way to use the library she had on the old laptop? I'm writing this on her behalf as she is basically technically ingorant and I am only slightly more knowledgeable but I know zero about iPods. Apparently she had her old library set up so some of the songs on her iPod we linked to the songs in my daughters iTunes folder? So.....is there a way to use the old library and if so, will it automatically find the mapping she set-up previously? If not, how do I go about getting this all sorted out? THANKS!!

HT5295 Has the "get more episodes" link gone away with the new ios podcast app? If I want another episode of a podcast, I have to exit the app and go to itunes and search for the show and episode?

Do I really need to navigate out of the app to simply download a new or different episode in the Podcast app? Was a simple one touch before, but maybe I am missing something.

Nevermind, I realize you must the have subscription button (in settings) turned to 'on' in order to manage/DL episodes.

ITunes cannot connect to remote speakers / Airport Express

Hi Guys
This is a quick post with a problem & solution.
I've been searching for ages tonight to find a solution to my problem:
'iTunes suddenly cannot connect to my Airport Express Speakers" and could not find one answer on here, only a mixture of replies all over the net.
So, just incase some people are still looking for an answer:
What I did...
1. Go to System Preferences, Network.
2. Click Advanced, on the TCP/IP tab, set "Configure IPv6" to Off.
Open up Airport Utility, go to the Music tab, set a password (I did this just for the sake of seeing whether iTunes noticed that the Airport was now password protected, then atleast you know it's talking!)
3. Open iTunes, go to preferences.
4. Click on the devices tab, untick "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay, Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers, Forget All Remotes.
5. Close iTunes
6. Open iTunes, retick "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay, Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers, Forget All Remotes.
7. Connect to remote speakers worked!

thanks Simius,
I just tried what you said to do, i had it in Automatic, but when I momenterely switched to manual the fields were all blank so I left them that way and turned on to automatic as you said and left it in auto, then tried to change itunes speaker to remote airplay and it didn t work.
so i don t know what else to do, I read alot about this in the last few days the bug seems to be related to the newest itunes upgrade and with the presence of the IP6V not turned off completely.
in the old system one could turn it off completely, now the off button is gone.
there are work around using terminal, I tried that but it doens t recognize my commands, so it didn t work either.
anybody has any idea?
thansk a lot

Help!! I recently erased my settings and after backing up via iCloud, I cannot open some apps. They look as if they are updating, but I cannot delete them. I can open them if I go through the app store and search for the app and click "open." what do I do

I can't seem to figure out why I can't delete and redownload my apps. I'm very confused. I've tried turning my phone on and off, and doing a soft reset.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

ITunes Store Search, Broken the last 4 days

On and off the itunes store search has been broken for the last four days. Searching the store for a specific author "courtney brown" will time out about 2 minutes later with a "504" error. Trying anything else does the same. It's been this way on and off for the last four days, my friends on IM say the sam thing.
When is Apple going to fix this? I'm really frustrated so much so that I signed up with audible.com to buy my audiobooks because there webpage search isn't broken like Apple's iTunes.
try searching for hemi-sync or something else it just hangs!
Annoyed customer...

I'm not happy with iTunes Store search either. I haven't gotten a timeout error but sometimes, I'll be searching for something I know is there, and iTS search can't find it. Google has been helpful in those cases. Google found your hemi-sync download on iTunes:
