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.

How do you change your device name on the latest version of Itunes?

I can't figure it out...

Connect your device to iTunes. Select it in the device section (left) then click on its name (center of screen) and edit it. Or you do it on your device in Settings -> General -> About -> Name

How can I identify and delete duplicates on the latest version of itunes?

How can I identify and delete duplicates on the lastest version of iTunes?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

Why is there no option to check for app updates in the latest version of ITunes?

I downloaded the latest version of ITunes but Apple took away the button to check for app updates. Why?

Thanks. I just figured it out. Siri was not enabled. As soon as Siri was back on, the mike reappeared. But thanks for your help.

How do I download my album artwork on the latest version of iTunes?

How do I search for a song with the name I typed on my iPhone?

I run into this a lot and it is extremely frustrating. I want to find a song like "Menuetti", but the search results end up with hundreds of variations of "Menuetto". Even though I know Menuetti is there somewhere, I can't find the song I am looking for because there is so much garbage returned. Is there any way to get the iTunes store to return the few songs with the name I asked for rather than the hundreds with the name I did not?

HT4623 how do i update my mac book with the latest version of itunes?

Hi all, can anyone help me with updating my Mac Book with the latest itunes. I'm a bit old school and usually stick to same programs but now need to update?? Cheers!!

Make a backup of your computer first before doing any updates. In rare but unfortunate cases an update seems to result (from what the people posting here say) in libraries being deleted. Then too, sometimes people update and discover they really don't like the new version. Downgrading without a backup is difficult. In the long run you can't avoid going to a newer version but I, for example, have been running the same iTunes version for 7 years now so it is possible to hang on.
You also don't provide details about your MacBook which includes many models. If you are truly old school you could even be running a MacBook that can't update to the newest, or at least may require other software or hardware upgrades. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

The latest version of iTunes doesnt allow me to click on the song titles heading and locate the desired song from my Purchases. Are any others experiencing this?

Is anyone else having difficulty searching for their desired song using the latest version of iTunes? it used to be that I could click on song titles and just type in the first three or four letters and it would go straight to my song. This is no longer the case.

Hi Hale,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below provides an overview of the new iTunes 12 interface. If you are looking for a song in your library, you can click on the My Music tab at the top of the page. At the top-right corner of the window, choose to view your music by Song, and sort by Name see an alphabetcial list of your music.
Using the new iTunes - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203128
iTunes 12 includes dedicated icons for music, movies, or TV shows, which make it easier to get to wherever you want to go in your library with a click. You can use the same controls to switch media types whether you’re browsing the iTunes Store or browsing your library.
You can even choose the media types you always want to see. To access more media types, click the More button (three dots) in the upper-left corner and click Edit. Select your favorite media types in the pop-up menu, then click Done.
List view
To view your music by Song, Album, Artist, Composer, or Genre, click the current view under the Search tool in the upper-right corner. A pop-up menu of other views will appear. When you select one of the views in the menu, you'll see additional options for the view you're currently on, like Sort By Title or Rating.
I hope this information helps ....

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,

Search for shared library is impossible, as far as I know. Searches supported - are local and internet.

Re: Itunes 10.3 for windows I had problems whereas when I searched for a song I kept getting message "Accessing Itunes Store" when I was already in it I uninstalled and reinstalled latest version Still having problems

I had following problem: When I tried to search for a song in the Itunes Store I kept getting message "Accessing Itunes Store" (even though it appeared I was already in the store) Everytime I typed a character in the Search box the Accessing Itunes Store message would pop up
I was told to uninstall Itunes and Quick time programs and reinstall latest versions, which I have done and now have Itunes 10.3
I still got same messages so I tried a few things and when I went to my itunes account profile I got message "Requested Resouce not found"
Don't know where to go from this point. HELP

I have the same issue. I took it the genius bar and called talked to tier 2 phone support. They have standard thing where you uninstall all apple software in a certain order and then reinstall 64bit itunes. That did nothing (tried it 4 times).
I've gotten two clues so far.
One is that at the store if I plug someone else's iphone 4 in then itunes acts the same way. So it is not the phone. Two is tier 2 phone support told me to try syncing it with a fresh user account (an admin one). I did that and itunes was just fine, it did not freeze.
So there appears to be some conflict with the software, music files, whatever that is on my current user account (also an admin account). I ran virus and malware detectors and found nothing. Now I'm going to try putting my music, movies, apps, etc in the new user account and see if the phone will sync then.
I know its not much but thats where I'm at. I hope it helps.

How do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes? Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message.....".

When I start iTunes, how do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message....."

Does this apply?
