Search doesn't find a particular song...and another problem...

I'm going to keep this on a particular music file because all of this is related to THAT music file:
MacBook Pro 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB of 1067MHz DDR3 RAM, running OS X 10.9.5
iTunes 12.0.1.26
iPhone 5 running iOS 8.1
song file: "I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend" by Scotty McCreery
Before I get into the details, I purchased the song in iTunes, I have deleted the song file completely from both my Mac and my iPhone, and I have re-downloaded the file onto my Mac and the iPhone with the same problem persisting.
Two months ago, I made a 5-second ringer from the song file.  Since then, the original song itself keeps playing the same 5-seconds that was turned into the .m4r file.  I have removed the delimiters in the "options" for the song, changed the .m4r file details so that the file name and descriptors are different from the original file.  The song plays fine on my Mac, but it still plays as the same 5-second clip/ringer on my iPhone.  Oddly, when I use the search bar in iTunes, I can't locate the song using its name, but it shows up if I search for Scotty McCreery.
Any ideas?

Click the magnifying glass in the search box and untick Search entire library if ticked. This should make searching easier.
Search for Wanna Be Your Friend. Chances are that a different character has been used for the apostrophe, e.g. ’ (right slanted quote) instead of ' (single quote) so what you type at the keyboard doesn't match what's in the tag. (iTunes should cope anyway but that is another story.)
Locate the song on the iPhone and swipe to delete it, then resync.

    Lines in what? And what language are you using to develop with?
    Are the lines in a text file? A RichTextBox? A TextBox? Some other control? A List(Of String)?
    Is there some expectation by you that by providing what you wrote in your question post that the knowledge in your mind about what you are thinking about will mysteriously emanate to anybody reading your post so all of the sudden your knowledge will
    become their knowledge and they will be able to provide you with an answer as they will suddenly understand what you are trying to do? Because that's probably impossible. Most people try providing enough information in a question so anybody, even stupid people
    like me, can understand what they want. Maybe you should try that. As well as selecting an appropriate forum for your question in the future. Usually a question like this is related to programming in a particular language therefore a language forum may be
    a good choice. Or not.

    Hi EmmeElle,
    Is it an iCloud reminder or a third party reminder like from an Exchange account(maybe your company provides this service together with mail etc..).
    In the first case you should definitely be able to delete it by right click->delete or via https://www.icloud.com
    In the second case there might be a browser based settings page from your company or the provider of the service (i.e. Exchange) itself. Otherwise you can go to your System Preferences -> Internet Accounts and deactivate reminders for this account. WARNING: this also deletes all other reminder lists and reminders from this service on your mac.

    Sorry for not getting back with you...
    That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
    I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
    This is good you still have it.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
    Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
    Does everything work okay?

    I opened a new user on my computer yesterday with administrative privledges. I then opened up an itunes account from this new user. It seemed to go pretty well. I haven't downloaded any new songs yet or moved them to my account. I don't know how to move songs yet. I'm reading iPod and iTunes for Dummeies. Very appropriate for me. I will let you know when I manage to do this and am successful. Once again, thank you for your kindness and help. Kay 205

  • ICal search doesn't find anything

    when I test this by creating a future event with a particular word in it, then return to today and search for that word in the little "search" box at top right, it doesn't find that word.
    Why not?

    I have also had long standing problems of not being able to search for calendar events, either from within iCal or Spotlight or using mdfind.
    None of the suggested solutions worked for me (removing Calendar Cache file, adding and removing folders or drives to the privacy section of Spotlight to re-index, or running mdimport ~/Library/Calendars.
    One clue was that mdimport -d2 ~/Library/Calendars would not even look at the individual .ics files within any .calendar/Events directory (no output). I suspected that this was due to LaunchServices not associating these files properly with iCal. My system had previously been upgraded all the way from 10.0 through 10.6.
    What finally worked for me was the following, using the Terminal, rebuilding completely the LaunchServices database:
    rm /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore
    *defaults delete com.apple.LaunchServices*
    *sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister -kill*
    *sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister -R -domain local -domain system -domain user*
    (note the capital -R in the previous line.)
    This step will take a few minutes to complete, with a message about I/O throttleing
    reboot (not sure if that is necessary)
    *mdimport -d2 ~/Library/Calendars*
    This last command should now show the successful indexing of all calendar events.
    After this search finally worked again for me!
    Regards,
    Heiko

  • Cant find a particular song...

    just curious how it works.....
    i was looking for a particular song, i found several covers of the band, but not the original....
    the album it is on, isnt in itunes...but the artist's other albums are on itunes
    i'm assuming its some sort of copywriting issue or something
    but is there a way to recommend a song/album/artist?

    The song is actually titled "Flagpole Sitta" and was released on their first album, Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?, which isn't available on the iTunes Store nor on any download store that I can find. There may be licensing issues for download sales since the membership in the band has changed since that first album, or with Arena Rock, the record company that released that album.

  • Search doesn't find apps in iOS 7

    Since upgrading my latest 5th Gen iPod touch to iOS 7, spotlight search does not show any apps in results. Applications is definitely ticked in the settings, and I've tried deselecting and then reselecting, but still no apps come up in search results.
    Anyone know of a fix beyond a restore?
    Many thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Checlk Settings>General>Spotlight Search to ensure the Ap are still checked
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    I have no problem searching for apps in iOS 7.0.2

  • Search doesn't find the words water or plants!  What can I do to fix this?

    OK, you're not going to believe this.  Search cannot find any events with the words water or plants in them!  Here's the background.  I had multiple calendar entries for "Water Plants".  I deleted one, then deleted the other.  I then entered a new event called "Water Plants."  Search does not find it.  It finds every other event, but not that one.
    Now, here comes the even stranger part.  I added the word stargaze in front of the entry--so it reads "Stargaze water plants" -- and it finds the event if I search for stargaze.  In fact, I can add virtually anything in front of water plants and it finds it.  It'll even find "Warm water plants" (search for "warm") but not "water plants" or "water water plants."
    I've tried several things.  I  did the home button--power button hold til restart, no change.  I synched via iTunes; no change.  I've deleted the event, switched to a different day, and added it again.  No dice.   I've turned off and on again the Events option in Spotlight Seach setting.  No luck.  I even reordered the search items (putting events at the top of the search or in different places).
    It also won't find the event if I search for just "plants".    I just created two additional events:  "Plants" and "Warm water" and it cannot find them if I search for "water" or "plants".  "Wa" "Pl", etc. do not work.  Create "Stargaze" again and I can find it.
    Any ideas?  It's as if my having deleted two events deleted the words (and subsets of letters) from the Spotlight Search vocabulary.

    Try: Settings>General>Spotlight Search...remove the checks next to every item, then reset your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release. Now, go back into Settings & turn back on what items you want for Spotlight Search.

  • RoboHelp11 - Search doesn't find a PDF with word in Title

    I am having challenges with some PDFs being found when you search. For example.
    Using Sleep as the search word, the PDF document with a title "Sleep Apnea Guideline" should have been found. But it isn't. Many other documents and websites are found but not the one I expected.
    And even when I search for Sleep Apnea, the document is not found.
    The primary layout is Multiscreen HTML5.
    So far I have managed to solve every problem that my client has asked to solve so that they can use RoboHelp as the method to deliver a large number of reference documents and websites. Unfortunately, this one issue my stop everything. I am not able to explain why the document cannot be found.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Yes, there are other PDF documents and they can be found, I made sure that PDFs are not excluded.
    Even if it were a scanned document, the file name should be found. I am not sure how I can check if a document was scanned or not. I did a search for sleep while in the PDF and it found the words. Only the topic that this is in displays in the list but the actual PDF file (with sleep apnea in the name) does not list separately.
    Here is what I have in the topic:
    Here is the baggage file name.

  • ITunes 11.0.4.4 crashes when I play certain songs and the problem is spreading.

    Ever since I downloaded iTunes 11.0.4.4 (for windows 7), the program has been crashing whenever I play certain songs and at this point the problem is spreading, more and more songs that weren't problems before. I have been through just about every troubleshooting step I could find more than once, reinstalling, safe mode, conflicting programs... if a solution out there was even vaguely related to my problem, I've probably tried it. The only modification that I've made to the program is enabling 1/2 star ratings, and I don't think that's the problem because the earlier versions of itunes worked fine with it, and I've tried temporarily moving the itunes preferences xml to make it generate a new one, and it didn't fix anything.
    My library has over 14,200 tracks so I can't possibly delete and then re-add all the problem tracks to iTunes, and even if I could, I've tried doing that with a small number of specific songs already, and while it worked at first some of them have started making iTunes crash again at this point.
    I understand that the problem is most likely that my library is corrupted, but I'm very wary of the solutions to that problem that I have seen because I have had to use them before more than once, and each of those times I've lost thousands of songs (last time it was 5,000 tracks) in the process and a shockingly large percentage of the tracks came back disorganized and improperly labeled (some of them as 4 letter strings of capital letters that I can't seem to identify without using shazam) and without ratings ( I have "keep iTunes files organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" in preferences checked.)
    It takes a huge amount of time to redo the information for the amount of tracks I have even if you buy software to help automate it, and it would take me 5.7 days to redo all of the ratings I've done, and ratings are important to me. I've added a lot of new tracks since then and my library is still 2,000 tracks smaller than it was before i had problems last time. The solution scares me enough that I've put it with the crashing for two months now, but it's getting unmanageable. If anyone can give me a way to fix this that would leave my library intact, or at least minimize the damage, I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks.

    I found this and it worked!!!

    Sep 26, 2013 5:43 AM (in response to Bristol1981a)
    I had this exact same problem.  I found a fix on another support post that worked perfectly for me.  Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.  Then browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  My iTunes store is working fine now.
    God bless!!

  • Recently purchased song and another I transfered into my ITunes library vannot be set up in a playlist.I get the message"file cannot be located".Originally I could listen to the purchased song but now that will no longer play.What do I need to do to ?

    Recently purchased a song from ITunes and another that I downloaded from a CD will not transfer to a playlist and will not even allow me to listen to the songs.I get the message "file cannot be located"What can I do to get my system to locate the file?Originally I could play the songs from my desktop and I was able to transfer to my IPad.

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

  • IPod erased songs and further problems

    I have an iPod (20 GB Click Wheel) that I got Christmas 2004. I know it's getting old, but I've never had any problems with it until recently.
    About 2 years ago I got an iPod connecter for my car and in my glove box my iPod has remained 90% of the time. About 2 months ago I was play the iPod through my head unit when the song stopped playing and it started flashing through song titles very quickly. I switched to the CD and unplugged the iPod, turned it off, and then tried again. It continued to flash through the songs and would not stop and play any song. Well, I finally just took the iPod out and left it in my room. About a week ago I decided to check up on it and all of the songs were gone. So today I plugged it into my computer and iTunes suggested a restore because it is corrupted. The restore was successful and I put the iPod in and it started downloading all of my songs from iTunes. Well it after a couple of minutes my macbook flashes an error that a device was removed and there could be damage done. I went ahead and unplugged the iPod from the macbook since it was already ejected on its own and now the screen is frozen and I can't turn it off.
    Is my iPod done for? Thanks for any help.

    This article will help you get the iPod restored, which, hopefully, will address the syncing issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275?viewlocale=en_US

    This SSID is used for smartphones. The clientes who use Android can connet, the clients who use IPhone can't.
    Is this a cospiracy? xD
