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.

  • 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.

  • I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

    I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

    WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
    Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

    I have all my previous music files in wma formats from my previous PC Windows xp computer. And only two weeks ago I decided to purchase an iMac computer OS X Maverick, and there are a lot of files and information I would like to bring to the Mac, but I'm having problems playing my music file, suited to the PC but not with iMac as yet. So, I hope you can help on this...

  • HT1386 I am having problems downloading my music from my PC to my iphone 5s. I have i-tunes on my PC which I also have a different apple ID than what is on my iphone. I tried once to sync and download but do not know where it went. Please help

    I am having problems downloading my music library from my PC to my iphone. I have different apple id's for i-tunes and iphone5s. I did connect iphone to PC via USB and was able to sync and download, but do not know where it downloaded to. I looked under my music on iphone and nothing there.

    You have Sync Music selected under the Music tab or selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your PC?

  • I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update.  Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before.  Help!  Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

    I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update.  The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing.  Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating!  I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help.   I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

    I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
    This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
    As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
    Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
    Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

  • 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)

  • 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.

    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.

  • How do I fix problems with iTunes Store timing out when I search for music?

    So, I downloaded iOS 7 not too long ago. However, when I tried to do a search on the iTunes Store app, it keeps timing out (it also stalls when I attempt view a song list on a specific album. My phone has no cosmetic or liquid damage, and. I have already performed a soft reset on the phone. Does anybody have a solution, or is this just a bug in the new software that needs to be fixed?

    Also having problems connecting to the App Store without it timing out.

  • 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.
