Can't search for a song on playlist after upgrading to ios7

Help! I assume i am not the only one.. In the past i was able to go to music - playlist - go to a certain playlist i have - and than search in the playlist for a song. I can't do that anymor. I can search in the main list, i can search within the artist page, the songs page and the albums. even in tha main playlists page i can but i can't search when i am in a playlist page.

There currently is no "search" function on the iPod Touch. This is one of my biggest pet peeves--why did Apple choose to omit search capabilities on the Touch, especially where there's now an on-screen keyboard??
Search would be very helpful... While the alphabet scroll on the right side when in Songs, Albums, Artists views is GREAT, what if I want to find an all songs on which an artist was involved--including COLLABORATIONS? (Example: scrolling to "N" will allow me to find songs BY "Notorious B.I.G.," but won't find roughly 10 other tracks on my iPod where Biggie is "featured.")
Please wake up, Apple, and put search functionality into the Touch, just like it's been in Classic/Mini/Nano iPods for several years!

  • 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.

  • With the new IPhone 7 can one search for a song or artist like one could using the iphone 4?

    With my I phone 4 I could search by song or artist and access a song or album and then select purchase.  Is it still possible to search by song or artist with the 7 version or must one always go through radio?

    I understand that, as in some may still need SpeedGrade for specific things, however, when looking at the new premiere, it seems those specific things would be complex things that I don't do. I'll give an example, if you see what Colorista iii  does, that's about as far as I know how to take color grading. It looks to me like the new premiere will have those features colorista has. Which is basically like Speed Grade but maybe not quite as complex.

  • Search for a song in a playlist

    Hello.I would like to find out how can I search for a song in a playlist in iTunes on iOS (iPhone 5s)

    Hello WinXXx,
    Thank you for the question.  You can search for content in the Music app by tapping the status bar (the top bar of your iPhone where you see the time and battery information):
    Search music. While browsing, tap the status bar to reveal the search field at the top of the screen, then enter your search text. You can also search audio content from the Home screen. See Search.

  • BUG: Search not avail after adding song to playlist (after creating folder for playlists) - iPad app

    So this sounds like an unlikely bug, but I can duplicate it again and again.Starting point: Lots of playlists, no folders. I have the latest iOS version on my iPad and the latest Spotify update.Used PC client to create a folder and moved some playlists to that folder.Back on iPad, search for song and then add it to any playlist. (It doesn't matter which playlist, whether it's in a folder or not.)Here's where the problem occurs: After adding a song to a playlist, it is no longer possible to search for other songs. The search function simply fails to respond. I can listen to songs on playlists but can't use the search. If I want to search, I have to restart the app. Annoying!  

    If you have "Keep..." and "Copy..." unchecked, iTunes will simply reference the existing file, and will not change your file structure, as you correctly note.
    I'm fairly sure that some other program is operating on your files. The "Playlists" folder that you mention has nothing to do with iTunes. On my PC, only Windows Media and Roxio use it.
    To your question +"Is there a way to have iTunes rename/move files when adding to its library to specific folders via custom rules based on ID3 information (i.e. WMP rip settings)?"+ the answer is no. When iTunes rips a CD, it names the files as track number and title, with no option to do differently. And as far as placing the ripped files, they go in Artist/Album, with no option to do differently. As full-featured ripping programs go, iTunes is not even in the race.

  • 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~

  • 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.

    You can choose what it searches and where

  • How can i search for a color that is not in the color palette? (CS 5.5)

    I have a client, that has used a certain color in a series of textfields throughout the document.
    The color consists of all 4 CMYK colors and needs to be just Keycolor. However the color is not in the swatches menu, so marking it there and changing it won't work. I have downloaded a script that might have worked, but it could only find colors that were in the swatches palette. (Find / Change by Color / Overprint" version 1.2).
    Ofcourse, creating a similar color and adding it to the swatches doesn't work.
    Is there anyway that i can search for the color or does it really have to be done manually.
    Best regards

    You can only search for real, actually existing swatches. No sweat: use "Add Unnamed Colors" in the Swatch panel dropdown menu to get a list of all of the manually applied colors.
    Since you want to change all of them to the same color, you don't even have to use Search/Replace. Simply delete the new colors and select the one you need in the "Replace With" dialog that appears.

  • I can't search for books or authors on my iphone 6. It says no results found every time. Is there some setting I may have wrong? I have been using my kindle app instead.

    I can't search for book or authors in ibooks.  When I search an author or book and click on it a message that says not results found comes up.  Even if I try to look up something popular like Dracula or Twilight.  Is there some setting I should have clicked?  It won't find or download any books at all anymore.  This started about a month ago.  I have been using my Kindle app instead. 

    Hi laurieg23,
    I see that you are having issues with your connection to the iBooks Store. Here is an article with some troubleshooting steps that will be relevant to your issue, even though the article was written for issues with the iTunes Store:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • How Can I Search for Media files by Length?

    I want know how can I search for media files (mov, mp4, flv and movie files in general) by their length?
    If this search function is confirmed as definitely not possible on the OS, I would appreciate someone recommending app that might be able to perform such a search?
    Many thanks

    No possible way. Because the files may be enoded with differing codecs, compression, etc., you can only sort by file size, not the 'length' of the movie files.

  • Can't search for words anymore after saving PDFs in Preview

    Hi everyone,
    I would love to use Preview for my day-to-day use of previewing PDFs + highlighting + setting annotations. However, once I have saved the pdf with Preview I can not search for words anymore. If I search for one letter only, I would get cryptic hits like "7;%! 2%8%P%8!".
    I am not sure, but I guess when preview saves the pdf using a Quartz PDF context, something happens with the index, or the underlying the font structuring.
    Does anyone have had experience with these kinds of troubles?
    Thanks in advance,
    Heinrich

    Hi, thanks for answering quickly, and the heads up on that other thread.
    It undoubtedly has to do with the annotations or mark ups (the last, in my case).
    In the linked-to thread they end by suggesting that it's because it's has "commenting not allowed" when you see it
    using Adobe Reader, File > Properties > Security says Commenting: Not Allowed.
    However, some documents with "commenting not allowed set in Adobe Reader I can highlight or annotate fine, without it messing up after saving.
    Besides, any document I save as pdf even from Word, will say commenting not allowed in Adobe Reader. So if even my own documents are not highlight- or annotate-able without garbling the text, what documents would these functions be for, then?
    I think what somebody mentioned in the other thread about character encodings hold some truth, I see it in documents in Danish with æ ø and å (however, not all!), but not in English-only docs (yet. Have any of you?).
    Thanks in advance,
    - Alexander
