Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

How to search for music in "my music"??

Hi Folks,
how can I search for a track or artist in my music? Can only search te stupid store but what about my own music??
Thanks in advance,
paranoja

Yeah I think it should have search too.. but what are you going to do? You can leave feedback on the appleTV support site... that's the plce for that.
Although of kinds ***** that appleTV doesn't have search for music but iPod touch as a remote is very cool.. It's over WiFi so you can be anywhere to control it.
if you are just playing music you do not need your tv on.. it just connects to the appleTV sees its content and displays it on the iPod. If your TV is on you'll see it doesn't drive the appleTV interface at all. goes directly to whatever you click on on the iPod movies or music. You can also remote control iTunes if you want to use airTunes from your computer.
Unfortunately you can't stream to the iPod.. it's rumored to be a coming feature.. not just when you are connected directly to your network but wherever you are.. not right now though.

How do you fix a R6025 pure virtual function call error? When I try to search for music, iTunes freezes & returns this message.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Shutdown of itunes program when searching for music. How to fix this proble

I have a problem with itunes. When I go into the itunes store and search for music it shows the loading bar at the top that shows its progess and when it is finished a screen pops up that says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and itunes closes. I have tried to change settings but nothing works.

^ I did everything you said except download the new itunes (I have dialup and can't tie up my phone line for 4 hours) and nothing is different.
When I send the error report it "says" that apple has a solution for the problem and it provides a link provided by apple (which by the way is crap and just sends you to the store which has 0 solutions to this problem). I try to look through the help files but it is extreemly anti-helpful.
If no one can help me then can someone please post the phone number to the support line for apple products (another thing they forgot to put anywhere in my ipod manuals which is stupid).
Thanks
(sorry if I sound ****** off but I am cus I baught an Ipod but I can't even use itunes)

Having problems searching for music

I just recently encountered a problem searching for music on the Itunes store. I searched under song title, and it didn't bring up any results. Then I searched for the same music under artist, and the music came up. What's weird here is that the music was always there, but it's not showing up when I try to search under song title. Can someone tell me what's going on here?

If the song is a part of "Compilation", you cannot find it using Artist or Genres. But you can find it searching through Albums or Compilations. Try that, maybe that's you problem.

How to search for music already on my iPhone

In iOS 6 I could swipe to the left on my Home Screen and search for any file on my phone weather it be music, video, or document. I have over 300 songs on my phone and when I want to play something for someone it now takes a long time to go through all my music just to find what I want in iOS 7. Is there any way to searched for these things with the new iOS 7? I could use Voice Control but it never finds what I want, The voice recognition is too unresponsive.

No, it does not exist in iOS 7. Access to Spotlight has been changed. Take some time to get used to the new operating system. This link will help: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

How to search for music

Hi Guys;
I have a strange search request. I am trying to look for music and I am finding that the ITunes music search is not enough.
I have an old song that I recorded sometime in 1999 off of 3WK. The quality is very bad (8Mhz Mono) and I am hoping on locating the song on ITunes or similar. The problem is I have no idea who the artist is. I searched the web endlessly and I have not been able to come up with the information I need. I am hoping somebody in this forum recognizes this song. If somebody does, can you tell me provide me with the Artist/Album/Song information?
This is what I know. It seems to be a trance song that is around between 30 and 60 BPM. It is around 10 minutes in length. It sounds like there are no lyrics, only samples. The samples are of some guy that sounds like he is on the phone. He sounds like he is describing a UFO sighting. He says stuff like through the song:
"They got the light all of a sudden and the brightness was ..."
"It was like the sun came out in the middle of the night"
"Not a common experience" (repeated several times through the song)
"They got the light all of a sudden"
"And the brightness was like blinding"
? "What this was was a bolt of energy"
"Like a spiral of disco lights"
"White flashes of lights"
? "Up my wall in a circular motion"
"It was like the sun came out in the middle of the night"
"And it was shining everywhere"
The song is posted at http://www.paulrowe.com/nota_commonexperience.mp3
If anyone has any info on this song, your response would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
paulrowe.com

Hi Paul,
You don't mention where in the world you are - and it may be a long shot anyway but in the UK there is the Shazam website (http://www.shazam.com/music/portal/) which may be able to help.

How to Search for music in IOS 7?

Does anyone know how to search the music app in IOS 7? I can search in itunes, but cannot find a way to search for a song with the new music app?

Hello Frank,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
The way to search in your Music app for a specific title is very similar to doing a general search on the iPhone.
Search iPhone. Drag down the middle of any Home screen to reveal the search field.
From: iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3c511548
Do the same thing in the Music app and you will see the search bar appear at the top.
Cheers,
Sterling

Doing a search for music

I new at this so how do you do a "new search" for more music to add??

On what Mac or iDevice?

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

Having trouble searching for music on Ovi Player

Hi,
Is anyone else having this issue? Since the Ovi Player was 'Upgraded' yesterday, whenever I search an artist's name in the search field at the top of the home page, the player thinks for a few seconds, then returns to the same home page. The only artists catalogue I can view are the ones already on the home page, or under the various playlists. I also found that the Sign In button didn't work and I had to sign in via the Music Account at the bottom of the screen.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help. I don't see "Server Share" anywhere on Easy Find. Am I missing something? What's frustrating is, I was able to find something out of an excel file made yesterday. The search paramater was something that was one character short of the entire content of a cell. When I search for something that would be contained in another, longer (sentence-sized) cell, it does not find it. I have:
Search For: File Contents
Operator: Any word
Comparison: Ignore Case
Include: Netiher are checked
"Scan all files" checked in the settings thing.
I just tried Find Any File, and I don't see any option that allows me to search within a file? Looks like I can only search names of files along with date created, etc.

Yes you can download music directly on the iPad. Go the iTunes App and find the music that you want to download. Select the song, songs, albums, whatever you want to download and tap on Buy.
If it is previously purchased music - go to the Purchased Tab in iTunes - Tap on "Not on this iPad", find the songs that you want to download and tap on the cloud icon next to the songs to download.
