Apple TV hiding YouTube search results

I just got my AppleTV 2 weeks ago, I am so frustrated, I wish it worked as seamless as my MacBook and my iPhone. I always have to reboot it and sometimes it just stops working!
Anyways I wanted to ask if anyone else is having issues with AppleTV hiding YouTube search results.
For example if I search La Roux - Bulletproof on YouTube (online, web browser) I get the official video, on AppleTV I get whole bunch of other videos BUT the official. And this is not the only one. A lot of my YouTube favourites do not appear either.
I am under the impression that they hide the videos that are for sale on the iTunes store. If that is the case it makes me feel extremely deceived. They shouldn't market the YouTube functionality then. I hope I am the one not operating it properly.
Is there a way around this?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I've noticed this same issue myself but believe that it's driven not by Apple or YouTube as companies but instead by the unique YouTube user and whether or not they elect to have that video available on mobile devices, etc. at the time of upload.
Case in point, I've got some YT vids in which I declined upon upload to make them available on mobile devices which resulted in their not being available(or even visible) on aTV.
There's a wealth of info on this forum with all the savvy members. I'm sure someone else will chime-in and shed some more light on the subject.

What's the deal with YouTube search results - browser vs Apple TV ?

How come a YouTube search via the usual internet browser means returns a truck load of results, and the same search via Apple TV returns virtually nothing?
For instance, if Little Britain is searched via internet browser, there are endless results. Search the same thing via Apple TV, nuthin'.

Different YouTube Search Results - iPhone vs Mac Laptop

Hi,
I was searching for the musci video by Asia, Only Time Will Tell and got lots of correct results on the Mac laptop using Safari but did not get any correct hits using YouTube search on the iPhone. Is there a reason why the search results would be different?
D

Youtube on the iPhone can only display videos that have been reformatted for it, and since not all videos have been you will get some different results than when you search on your laptop. Hope that helps =]

Netflix on Apple TV not showing search results

Hey, a few months ago the Netflix search function on my Apple TV stopped working. I do the search in the search box, but the area on the right, where the search results are supposed to show, remains black. I have restarted, signed in and out of Netflix, tried all I can think of with no results. This is only a Neflix on Apple TV issue, as all other Apple TV apps have the search function working fine.
Please help!

I had this exact problem and finally thought to check online at the Apple forums here for an answer. This came up after looking at one or two other questions in the search.
I'm happy to say that the restore of the Apple TV worked. Search in NetFlix on the Apple TV now shows results.
My Apple TV is the latest generation I think, have had it for almost two years. It was already upgraded to the latest Apple TV software. I'm guessing that a bug snuck in at some point over the years and over multiple software updates.
Upon restore, I noticed a feature I didn't realize existed, which is that you can start using the Bluetooth in your iPhone or iPad to immediately help with Apple TV setup. You need Bluetooth on and to place the device near/on the Apple TV. This is a feature I know I've seen many commenters request, but apparently not realize this was possible? Or maybe this is a new feature in the latest software update?

Is it possible to have a Youtube or Google search result appear in Firefox history without knowing about it?

I recently found some Google and Youtube search results on my boyfriend's computer in Firefox that were "questionable" and when I asked him about them, he adamantly denied knowing what they were and said he recently had some viruses on his computer and they could have put these results on there. I don't know if this is possible or not. The only thing similar to this I've heard is viruses redirecting you to a certain site, but not to specific google and youtube results, and if that did happen, he would have to see them, right? I think it's version 11.0. HELP!!

It is possible that you have a virus that was redirecting, but if there are Google searches, and Youtube searches, it is most likely that ''someone'' did those searches.
You can try running these tools to check for infections: [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
[http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
So, I can't say for certain your boyfriend did these, but it is most likely that "somebody", not "something" did them.

IProcurement Search Results Per Page

Hi to All,
Was looking for a profile option that controls the search results per page. We know there is the iProcurement section that a user can set the search results per page. But we are looking for a global profile option.
In researching this option within ML found the following profile: POR: Result Set Size. But this profile doesnt change the results per page.
Does anyone have thoughts on what the correct profile is or why the POR: Result Set Size is not working as expected.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your response. In Robohelp 8 there are no options for hiding the search results per page feature while generating the output. Can you please guide me. I tried removing the content from the output by commenting out the followig code from the whform.htm file. However, the text box showing 10 remains. I cannot remove that. Can you suggest?
gsMaxSearchTitle = "Search results per page" ;
gsMaxSearchTitle = "Search results per page";

HT1349 YouTUBE search function in Apple TV is unresolved, Rep disconnected call

Few weeks ago, I purchased Apple TV. For last few days YouTUBE search function wasn't working. No matter what letter is printed, no results turn up.
The technician asked me to reboot the Apple TV and then try again. Then he claimed that he received an internal email stating there has been issues with YouTUBE and Apple TV interface, within the last hour. When I asked him to forward me the email he refused, stating this is an internal email.
The technician assured me this problem would get resolved in an hour or two. Then he disconnected the call. I thought he would call back, but never did.
It has been 20 hours, and the search function for YouTUBE on Apple TV still doesn't work.
How will this get resolved.

This is a widespread issue.

Youtube app - limited search results

When searching for YouTube videos within the YouTube app, I get fewer results a lot of the time, particularly when searching for "official" music videos. My example: search for "la roux in for the kill" on the YouTube site (either on your desktop or on Safari on the iPhone). The top result is the official video posted by "polydor". Click on it and it plays in the iPhone YouTube app. The same search in the YouTube app misses out this result.
The same problem was raised [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9853961&#9853961] but the answer doesn't apply to this issue. I can view the official La Roux video in the YouTube app, I just can't search for it there.
As it seems to happen mostly to music videos, is it something to do with the access the record labels want to grant?

Hi
Have you figured it out yet? It took me a minute to figure out, you need to swipte until you hear
until it says the name of the app and gives app developer and rating then when you wipe again it will say the price, when I swipe to the right after that, it moves to the next app. This is on ios 7, I believe it worked differently on ios 6 and below. I wish there a way to change the search results into a list view.
Hope this helps
Thanks

HT4059 Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

You can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that they be added to US store, but ultimately it's the book's publisher that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Are they available in other ebook stores/apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc ?

Hiding Topics From Search Results

I have about 7 different types of users that require
different and private set of documentation. My plan is to use
conditional build tags to deliver a help set for each user. I'm
delivering noncontext-sensitive help and via batch processing.
Later I'll ensure that each help set is context-sensitive, and have
the product call the correct one. I'm trying uncover flaws in my
architecture. I'd like to streamline if possible.
What's cool is that my product's interface has built-in
profiling, so the product already knows what windows/tabs (context)
the user can access. Seems like a perfect way to deliver
context-sensitive help for all my users. But, can I do so with just
ONE help set?
I can disable TOC, but one thing I can't figure out: How
would I prevent users from seeing private content launched via the
search engine? I'm just trying to figure out how to use only one
help set and still restrict content. Unlikely, right?

There's another way to do this:
1. Move all the screen capture topics to a new (secondary)
project.
2. Create a new CHM file from the secondary project.
3. In your primary project, open each link to a screen
capture image. In each case, the Hyperlink dialog will appear.
4. Open the
Link to drop-down menu, and then select
Remote Topic.
5. Navigate to the secondary CHM file.
6. Select the desired topic from the secondary CHM file.
7. When you are finished, generate a new CHM file from your
primary project. The secondary topics will
not appear in your search results.
I found this in the RH Help files or the Knowledge Base; I
don't remember which. Also, if you don't want to repeat these steps
for each link, you can edit one link, copy the code from the
TrueCode pane, and use a find-and-replace feature to replace the
old code with the new target. That should cut down the time
tremendously.
(FWIW, I use drop-down hotspots when I show such captures at
all.)

I notice I have an add on called search results optimizator 8.17, I do not remember deliberately installing this add on and I cannot uninstall it, I have disabled it as it redirected me to a search site when I logged on to Photobucket, I would like to kno

I have enabled the add on again to find the web page it directs me to...
http://www.landing.savetubevideo.com/
This is the page it takes me to when I try to log into Photobucket.
I did install a Youtube downloader from SaveTubeVideo but un-installed it. The Search Results Optimizator must have been installed at the same time. But it does not give you an option to remove it, only to disable it.

Hi TwoSheds,
System-installed extensions can't be uninstalled from Firefox. Instead you can find and remove this application from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
However, disabling an add-on renders it fully inert; it isn't loaded at all and can't do anything.

Search results in iCal using Mountain Lion

Why did Apple move the search results in iCal from the bottom to the side? I cannot move it or expand the results. Now, therefore, I cannot read, or see in an organized way, the results. Please advise if you have any solutions.

Whatever os you have installed, post in its forum area.

Safari 5.0.2 doesn't save any more google search results in the history.

Hello together,
Safari doesn't save any more google search results in the history.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) go to google.com
2.) search for "APPLE"
3.) open the history
Result: the search for "APPLE" is not saved - only the Google mainpage.
This has something to do with the new search string in the Location bar. Safari does not save URL with /#.
For example:
the new string is http://www.google.de/#hl=...
the old one is: http://www.google.de/search?hl=....
The change must something to do with the new Google-Search-Feature. When I deactivate it, then google works with the old string and I found the searches in the history.
The second negative effect is, when you type "apple" into the location bar (after a search), the autocomplete shows the search result, but when you hit enter, you are redirected to the Google-Mainpage.
Very annoying
Can somebody confirm.
Thanks

YouTube Search in non-English

Does any one know if there is a way to input non-English in the YouTube Search?

If that's the case then a feedback report should be sent directly to Apple on this problem. It's a serious shortcoming in the Apple TV software if the language setting doesn't provide the correct input method for that language.

Store won't display search results, tabs dead

Search results in iTunes Stoe (11) won't display all items (i.e. it reads "Total: 301 items" at the bottom of the list but only 16-20 will show up (depending on my luck). This is even true of, for example, a podcast show page itself. When I scroll down, there are empty lines where episode titles should go, but if I go all the way to the end, they suddenly disappear and the "Total: 301 items" jumps to the end of the 16-20 item long list.
Categories within search results won't display either (i.e. I can see the "All," "Books," iTunes U" list on the right side, but clicking on each does nothing).
Going from "Details" to "Ratings and Reviews" also requires clicking the tab and then reloading the page. My connection is fine, this has been happening for at least the last month at home, while out, using wifi and when drectly connected by old timey cables. Updated this morning, still no change.
Help?

This article has some tips
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
(particularly under Troubleshooting on a Mac)
If that does not help... As a test, to narrow down the cause, you may want to create a new user account in System Preferences Users & Groups pane. It can be Standard or Admin. Log out and log in to the new user account (do not use Fast User Switching).
Try running iTunes from the new user account, and accessing the iTunes Store.
If the problem does NOT occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be something in your primary user account. For example, it could be user preferences settings, or something related to your iTunes library, or a background process that runs in your account that is interfering somehow.
If the same problem does occur in the new account, the cause is likely to be related to the overall OS, the iTunes application, or maybe network settings that block access to the iTunes Store.
Either way, you'll be able better focus additional troubleshooting.
