"Go to song" doesn't work.

I'm playing an MP3 that is in my iTunes library. iTunes is playing it. I click on the tiny little arrow so I can get to "Go to song" so iTunes will show it in the Music view. I select that and it does nothing.
Sooooo, I go to the playlist "Recently played" and it doesn't show the song, even though I just played it.
I'm trying to do a BASIC thing here - create a playlist - and iTunes is unable to do basic things.
When did this app become so buggy and crappy?
(The artwork on my iPhone iTunes is all screwed up because of a different bug).

Yeah, I think Apple has turned into the Microsoft I used to detest. They are too big to produce quality. Apple used to be all about "It just works".
I have an iPhone 5 with the famous broken Lock Button, an iPhone 4 that can't hold a phone call, a Mac Book with broken plastic pieces in various places from normal use, and Apple apps on Appe hardware using an Apple OS that won't work! Amazing.
My iPhone 2-year contract is over and I think I'll go with something else. I really don't see the advantage of using Apple products anymore.
The problem is I have a brand new $12,000 Mac Pro. Is there an OS X app for music that I can use? Or am I locked into what Apple wants me to use, like Microsoft used to be criticized for doing in the 90s?
Thanks

  • Purchased song doesn't work

    I just bought the new Linkin Park album but one of the songs doesn't work when I choose to play it. It doesn't load up to play, doesn't show the album artwork, and never starts to play. Plus when I listened to the album all the way through, track by track, it just skipped that track and moved to the next one. What do I do?

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Do you mean that you can't download it or that you've downloaded them but the tracks don't play ?
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Song doesn't work

    I've dowloaded this album SINAI (Artist) - A PINCH OF CHAOS (Album). I would know why the song STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW doesn't work!!!
    The whole song it's 3min:53sec and at the minute 1:38sec the song stop completealy.

  • Bought a song, doesn't work, how can i redownload?

    Bought a song, did not want to play, so i deleted it. How do i redownload it?

    Music can't be re-downloaded in all countries, but see if you can redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad, or Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).

  • I'm stuck in snapchat and my sleep/awake song doesn't work

    So I went out of character and downloaded ios7 software. i have a 4S. obviously imessage doesn't work - and it's not a vain problem. it's a problem problem. my phone is also for work and I can't be sure my clients are getting through to me, and I'm not trying to make my clients over-work.
    Oh, and three weeks ago my sleep/awake button just stopped working. the sales guy said: new phone/circa $600. the prelim-tech guy said: sensitivity button. so i did the latter.
    i've completely reset my settings now a few times, but this last time - i had hope that snapchat would work (not to brag but i have like 27 pending) - BUT I DIDN'T TURN ON MY SENSITIVITY BUTTON YET. so i'm just in snapchat telling me "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications" over. and over. and over.
    can someone please help me?!?! I can do nothing on my phone right now. phone = vegetable. i will say to blackberry: at least you let us take out your battery and just punish you/get our stuff back together.

    No, it simply is not a problem.  iMessage works perfectly fine for myself and millions of others.  There is a small percentage of users experiencing issues with iMessage, but that does not mean that it does not work.

    Out of Warranty replacement is $199US for the 4S.
    If you want a new iPhone, then the 5C starts at $549US or the 5S starts at $649US for full retail without a carrier subsidy.

    Then why bring it up?  No one cares.

    Delete the App and reinstall.
    Restore as new, then install the app from scratch not from the backup to see if it works properly.
    Contact the App developer to find out why they app is not working.

    Stop making irrelevant comments.  Removing the battery has no affect on the issues that exist with your device.

  • Searching for a song doesn't work

    I have a MacBook Pro 2006, with OSX version 10.8.6, and I am using iTunes version 10.4.
    I have been getting this problem on and off, where I open iTunes, or it's been open for a while (it doesn't really make a difference), and I type in the search box to search my library for a song that I KNOW IS THERE, and the library won't react. It's as if the search bar doesn't exist/isn't doing anything.
    Can someone help me please, this is a really frustrating issue as I have over 16,000 songs, so it's near impossible it fish through all of them for one song manually.
    Thanks in advance!

  • I bought an album and one of the songs doesn't work

    I just bought drakes new album and one of the songs only plays the first verse, until like 1:20, then it goes to the next song. What can i do?

    Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • I bought an album but one song isn't working

    I bought and album on itunes and one of the songs doesn't work. It won't let me play it and after it plays the song before it, it just skips it. It doesn't work on my itouch as well. It tells me I have to authorize my computer, and after I authorize it, it says I've already authorized my computer. But the song still won't work! The rest of the album works fine.

    Important: I am not held responceable for any misshaps or errors that happend durring the buying, if it makes you pay I am not responceable! have fun getting the album!
    If you bought the album, its going to charge you for the whole album.
    Try this
    Step 1 open up Itunes on your Ipod, Ipad or Iphone and look for the Album you bought, Click the buy button again
    and its going to say you have already purchased this item, Would you like to download it. CLICK YES!
    And you should have it!
    If not contact Itunes/Apple support.  
    NOTE: if it made you pay for the album again. goto your email and send them the application when you bought it the first time, and say I already bought it, I want my money back! DON'T forget to add PLEASE!!!
    It also does the same on Computers!

  • My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

  • "Random" play doesn't work,stops after each song; multiple plays of same

    One of the more annoying things happening: random doesn't work.
    I've gone through the Zen Media Explorer, reformated the Zen player, so there were no songs on it.
    Went and built a list of 37 songs and uploaded via Zen Media Player to the Zen player.
    Went to "Music" and selected "All Tracks"
    Set my "System" "Audio Settings" for "random" play.
    I had to pick the first song to start it off.
    It played the first 5 or so songs correctly.
    Then it stopped.
    I used the bottom arrow key to "play" the next song. Then it stopped AGAIN.
    Now I'm manually making each song play! This goes on for 4-5 songs, then it starts playing automatically - but repeating the songs it has already played. It does not go near the other 28 or so songs that I have not heard yet!
    I go back to "Music" and re-set to "All Tracks"
    I go back to "System" "Audio Settings" and re-set to play "random"
    And it does this annoying routine all over again.
    Went back to "System" "Audio Settings" and picked "normal" this time. So of course, its playing all the same songs I've heard over again.
    I have to manually cruise the "All Tracks" to pick what I want to hear.
    Can anyone help me with this? I can't stand it anymore.

    If you installed any software to work with the mouse, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then restart the computer and test. Back up all data before making any changes.
