How do I search the comments field in iTunes 11

How do I search the comments field in iTunes 11 for windows

I was suggesting you untick it.
New search behaviour
Old search behaviour
Thinking that the old behaviour might prove more fruitful.
If that doesn't help can you post a screenshot that shows what you're doing and why you think you're getting the wrong results?

Problems with the 'Comments' field in iTunes

First, sorry for my english (I'm danish).
I've read a lot of threads here and everywhere else, but can't find a solution for my exact problem. I use Windows Vista and the newest version of iTunes.
Most of my mp3 songs (35.000) are put directly in album folders to the folder 'D:My Music from another computer via a USB drive and the songs already have id3 tag information on them.
I then add the albums to iTunes and most of my tag information is now updated in iTunes. Names, Artists, Genre, Year, everything is okay. By the way the songs have ID3v2.3 tag information. I see that in my Mp3tag v.2.42 application.
But the problem is with the 'Comments' field:
Those tags (originally put to the songs directly in the proberties of the song in Windows Explorer) will simply not transfer to iTunes 'Comments' field. And if I write something in the iTunes 'Comments' field this will not show up in the fields properties in windows Explorer. It looks like the 'Comments' fields in iTunes and in the proberties in the song are not connected at all!?
I then found out, I could let iTunes convert the ID3 codes, but nothing happens except from when using v. 1.0 or 1.1, because then the comments tag are transferres, but unfortunately all the tags will only show 30 characters!!!
And there's also a different story:
A few albums though are put directly on my computer by using iTunes to import the CD. These songs have ID3 v.2.2 tags, so I guess iTunes import files in that format?
And here it's a little different story. If I put comment data directly to the file proberties in Windows Explorer (after the CD's been imported to iTunes), the comments will show up in iTunes, but only as several 0 and 1 digits! On the other hand, if I put information directly in iTunes 'Comments' field it wil show up correctly in the file proberties! But it's only a few songs/albums that are handled that way.
Well, bottom's line, I want to see my comments tags (which are allready there in the song's proberties) when I browse my music in my folders in Windows Explorer and I want to see the exact same comments if I go to browse my music in iTunes. That should not be a problem ... but it is not ...
Can I please get a solution or at least an explanation, and hopefully in not too tecnical terms.

I, too, hope someone will answer this! I am hoping to catalog my entire CD collection in iTunes and I want to include the storage box number somehow, thinking that "comments" would be a good place to do so. If I cannot do that I'll try to find a program other than iTumes to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions on this topic? ...perhaps I need to open a new thread?
THANKS!
Doug

How can I make the comments field appear when the operator is debugging a test?

When a test is being written the comments field is being utilized for information relating to what the test is doing and how to solve certain problems that arise. It is basically a quick place for the technician to look at when they are attempting to debug a board. However it appears when you view the sequence files these are off to the right side of the screen but when running the debug engine and the technician sets a break point then these comments are no longer visible to the user off to the right of the screen. Is there any way to have it include the comment in the data displayed when tracing through a test step by step. The technician can double click on each step but it would be alot mor
e user friendly and timly if these could be displayed just to the right of the execution flow column.

Hello John,
I assume you are talking about the sequence editor. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to view the comments associated with a step inside of the execution display window (i.e during run-time). If you are using the operator interface, then you may extract the comment associated with a step and post a custom UI message that contains this information. The operator interface can then be modified to respond to this UIMessage and update its display accordingly.
To post a UIMessage with this data, you must first obtain a PropertyObject reference to the step you are trying to extract the comment from. Then use the "Comment" property of the PropertyObject class to obtain the comment value.
Unfortunately, the Sequence Editor discards all custo
m UIMessages, and you will have no way of viewing the comment using the above method.
Hope this helps.

How can I search the BCC field of my sent mails?

Does anybody know how it is possible to convince mail.app (mail.app 4.6 under OSX 10.6.8 , in my case) to perform a search within the bcc. field of sent emails?
Thanks for the advice

I am running Thunderbird v 24.2.0 under Bodhi Linux (Ubuntu derivative).
I click on the Address Book button to open my address book.
Then I click Edit > Search Addresses.
This opens a detailed dialog box called Advanced Address Book Search.
First, I can choose which address book(s) to search.
Then I can use a drop-down menu to choose various fields and search criteria, to build a regular expression for searching. It is actually quite comprehensive.
The only problem for me is: Most of my key words are located in the "Other" field, which is not included in the drop-down list. Very frustrating. The information is there, but it cannot be accessed with this tool. (At least, I have not figured out how to do so.)

How can I search the "Other" field in my Thunderbird contacts?

I imported my Yahoo contacts into Thunderbird. All my keywords were in the "Notes" field in Yahoo. After importing into Thunderbird, all these ended up in the "Other" field.
When I go into the search tool, it lists all searchable fields. "Other" is not included. Is there any way to search "Other"? Or is there a way to import the contacts in a way that lands the Yahoo "Notes" into a searchable field?
Thanks!

How do I hide the comment-field in a pages document?

I'm currently writing a document in pages, and added some comments to my own text (the yellow notes). When I was done with the comments, I removed them, but the area to the left of the document where all of the comments were shown, did not dissapear.
So, now I have a gray area that takes about 25% of the document window, that I want to get rid of.

Look in the menu View!

How do I search the available songs in Itunes that are not just $1.29?

According to ITUNES, I should be able to view all available songs in the ITUNES store. Well there are supposed to be songs that are 99 cents and 69 cents. Where can I find those at? I jave tried everything and I cant seem to locate those in the store so I can see if I want to purchase those.
Please help!!!
Thanks

But I want to just spcifically look at all the .69 cent songs to see if there are any I like.
The iTunes Store has extremely few songs for 69 cents, and as Roaminggnome notes, they do not make them easy to find. However, you might enjoy this nice 69 cent version of Chicken Dance.

How to read the comment field of the Leave of absence Workflow.

Hi,
I have attached a custom Workflow template to the
Standard class "CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT" and event "TRIGGERED" for my Personal leave of absence approval.
During the Workflow step, once the approval goes to the final approval step and it is there in the Benifit Administrator's inbox (Portal) for approval, the Benift Admin is having an option of Withdrawing the process(Withdraw Process button). After filling the comments field, once he clicks this withdraw button the standard class "CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT" event "WITHDRAWN" gets triggered and it calls a separate workflow.
I need to capture this comment in the new Workflow but not able to do the same.
Can anyone let me know how can I do this. The event container does have any parameter to pass this value to the workflow container. And since the Step_Object GUID also changes I am unable to read it in the second workflow.
Looking for some real help as this has become critical for the project.
Thanks is andvace.

Hi All,
Thanks for your reply Trevor, but I guess you misunderstood my question. What I am not looking for is not the absence data. Basically I need to capture the comments put in by the Benifit administrator in the Leave of absence application form (Personal or Maternity/child care ), incase when he goes for withdrawing the Application submitted by the Employee.
To elaborate it functionality step by step...
1. An employee logs on to portal and submits a LOA application with a few mandatory field ( Commencing date,Returning Date, Reason).
This kicks of a Workflow say WF1 attached to
ABAP Class- CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT, Event- TRIGGERED.
2. Then after executing a few tasks to retrive data it goes to the Manager for approval. Once the manager appoves it goes to the Benifit Administrator.
3. The Benifit Administrator can approve the application or has an option of withdrawing it.
4. In case the Benifit Administrator goes for Withdrawal, after putting some comments in the form, it triggers the Event-WITHDRAWN of ABAP Class-CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT.
5. This event in turn starts a new Workflow WF2.
6. In this Workflow WF2 I need to pull in the comments put in by the Benifit Admin.
How can I pull this comment?

How do I search all Contacts fields in the Q5 with OS10.2?

Blackberry appear to be advancing backwards with their new Q5 and 10.2 operating system. I originally bought the Blackberry specifically for its ability to search into the notes field of email contacts, which no other phone could do at the time. When the operating system was "upgraded" to OS7 I was disappointed to find out that the Blackberry Search was no longer able to access the Contacts Notes field. But then I discovered the "OldSearch" app. This app replicated the old search functionality and I have been using it on my 9790 quite happily for the past two years. However, when the time came to renew my contract this year I made the BIG MISTAKE of assuming that the Q5 with its OS 10.2 would be a big step forward. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. Once again the Blackberry search function could not search the notes field of Contacts but, worst of all, OldSearch cannot run on OS 10.2. After four days trying to persevere with the new menu format and combined with the search problem I decided to give up and hand the Q5 back. I have subsequently found out that most cell phones now have the facility to search into the Contacts notes, including the Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone. So, reluctantly, I say bye-bye Blackberry, hello Samsung S4.

So, you're not really asking how to search contacts notes on the device. You just came to tell us you switched to to the S4.
Good luck!

How can I reliably search the "Notes" field in iOS?

I know this isn't strictly an Applescript question, but I've found that the level of knowledge in this particular section of the boards is WAAAAAYYY higher than other sections, so I'm gonna ask this here anyway. FWIW, it does involve AppleScript....
So I really miss the Palm style contact search by first initial and last name. So I wrote an applescript that runs nightly on my iMac and updates any new contacts to include this search term in the notes field. Actually, to be completely honest, some members of this forum wrote most of the script for me.... Anyway, for instance, Joe Smith has "JSmith" placed into the notes field.
Now, usually when I search my contacts like this on my iphone it works like a dream. But sometimes the expected contact does not appear. In those cases, if I open the contact a different way (by searching for "Joe Smith," for instance, I find the contact, open it up, and always find that "JSmith" is actually in the notes field. My Applescript is working like clockwork... that's not the problem. Once I close the Joe Smith contact and retry the "JSmith" search, it now works. What gives?
It's kinda like Spotlight is using a search index for the notes field but not the name itself? And the search index is not getting updated until I manually open the contact? But only on some contacte? Usually it updates itself just fine without my having to open the contact? And then today it failed to find a contact that has had the Palm-seach term in the notes field for at least three weeks. Once I opened it manually, though, it worked.
So... help! Is there a way to force the iphone to manually rebuild whatever database spotlight is using to search the notes field? What's going on?

I've turned on BOLD TEXT and turned on REDUCE MOTION but for me it feels like more than just the zooms in and out... I'm getting sick just reading emails and texts or just glancing at the lock screen. It's intant nausea. The only thing I can think of is that it's something to do with refresh rate or frequency of the screen.
I thought I'd just get used to it but it has not subsided. I only hope I don't have to resort to backgrading to iOS 6 or worse, moving to a different brand of phone.

How is the comments field populated in RCV_SHIPMENT_LINES?

I am working for a client who is using OPM extensively. When we create the internal requisition, create the internal sales order and perform the reveive, the comments field in RCV_SHIPMENT_LINES is populated with OPM:<delivery detail ID>. This functionality is working fine in 11i. We are no working on R12 upgrade for the client. In R12, the comments field is populated as NULL in RCV_SHIPMENT_LINES. I would like to know whether this is the seeded functionality in 11i. If so, what is changed in R12. Please let me know.

I figured it out. I have to change the Leave Codes field to visible and not read-only. Then close Form Editing. I can then get to the field and from there I can copy the field entry over to Word to edit it. Then copy it back in to the Leave Code field, go back to Form Editing, and put it back to Hidden and Read-only. It was so easy once I knew the trick :-) Of course.

How to always show the BCC field in Apple Mail in Yosemite

I've been searching for this through various websites, but the instructions I've found correspond to older OS versions and I cannot find how to do this for Mail in Yosemite.
I would like to be able to see the BCC field in all Mail message windows. I've figured out how to bring up the BCC field while composing an email, but I can not see the field when I review my sent mail.

I can only speak to Yosemite 10.10.1 and Apple Mail 8.1 at the moment. You can simply press Command-Option-B while in Mail and it should toggle the setting. You can see the option in Mail by pulling down the "View" menu in the Menu Bar where you can simply tick beside "BCC Address Field."

Needed: Script to copy Photo album name into the comments field for pix

I was never in the habit of applying anything to photo comments, but gave my albums a desriptive name so I knew what they were. Now I wish I had because album titles are not searchable. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to create an Automator workflow or Applescript that could take the Album Name and apply it to the comments field for each picture in the album. I have over 25,000 pictures and quite a few albums. I've started to do it manually for each album but would love to find a quicker way to accomplish this.
Thanks.

This should do the trick for you:
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "iPhoto"
set theAlbums to (every album)
repeat with thisAlbum in theAlbums
set thisAlbumName to the name of thisAlbum
set thePhotos to (every photo of thisAlbum)
repeat with thisPhoto in thePhotos
set comment of thisPhoto to thisAlbumName
end repeat
end repeat
end tell</pre>
FYI, it will step through every album; get its name; and then step through every photo in the album and change the comments to the album's name.
I recommend that you make a back-up before proceeding!

Where does iTunes keep the "comments" field info?

I've lost all the comments I recently entered for a particular CD
and I need to figure out what file iTunes keeps that infomation in
so I can get only that file out of a recent back up.
This info is not in the file titled "iTunes Music Library.xml" is it?
I looked in there by opening it in TextEdit but that didn't seem to be
the file so it must be kept someplace else. UgH!@

Matthew,
thanks for the quick reply but...
I have not actually ripped a song so this info can not be in the song file.
Here is what i have going :
I put in the CD and I have titled each track to give it a descriptive name and
further added comments to the comments fields.
I eject the CD.
When I insert the CD again, all this info shows there again, it's like
iTunes just knows it's this CD and what the song titles are etc.
So this song title and commments info couldn't be part of the song file because the songs are still on the CD and iTunes can't make a change on the CD, it's a commercial write protected CD, know what I mean?
Also, the song title and comments info isn't kept in the "iTunes Music Library.xml" because iTunes shows song titles and comments that are
not in this file when I search in it with TextEdit. This is making me nuts!

Strange "code" in the Comments field when playing songs

When I play some songs (probably 80% of my archive) iTunes generate some strange code in the Comments field. This is quite annoying, since I use the field to write additional info about the song, artist, location, whatever.
Examples of such codes:
" 00000244 00000000 000010B3 00000000 00022325 00000000 000057AD 00000000 00004E37 00000000"
" 0000014C 00000151 00000551 00000580 0001119E 0001119E 00003C73 0000379B 0001D4D7 0001D4D7"
and so on...
How can I stop this generation of random numbers and letters in the comments field?
null

Ick.... Well, maybe you're right. I also turned off "let itunes keep things organized" at about the same time. Between turning off sound check, itunes organizing, and the WMP settings, I have never seen it happen again.
I still think it was WMP, as I only open WMP rarely to listen to web clips and I noticed it had happened to some tracks I had not played in itunes for years, and it happened right after that WMP update. I'd had the sound check and itunes organization thing on for years.
One thing we can agree on, it was totally random. No rhyme or reason to it, and I even noticed that it didn't even affect all the tracks on some albums.
I just turned sound check back on, only on my Mac, because that is just my backup copy of files. We'll see if it hits again.
edit-(it's determining sound volume on x of 393, weird, I have over 27000 tracks in my library)
