How do you search iTunes for a song?

I cannot figure out how to do a search for a song; to see if it resides within the iTunes database? Then; I can decide wheather to purchase it or not. The website is very busy with options. Please help. Thanx in advance.

Ok, I just tried Louie, Louie got over 50 hits including what I believe is the original version by "The Kingsmen." Got 2 hits for the Lonnie Mack song. Got 3 hits for the Buffalo Springfield song. No hits for Leslie Pearl, but 3 hits for what appears to be that song, but not Pearl's version. Nothing for Steve dahl. There were several hits for the Standells, but not the song you are looking for. One hit for the Royal Teens song. A few hits for Lulu, but not that song. I believe this is the correct Wilson Pickett song but it is listed in the store as "Get me back on Time, Enine No. 9". Nothing for the 2 songs by 10cc. 2 hits for the Chambers Bros. song. I did this by simply using the "search" function in the upper right.
Sorry I couldn't get back with you until today, but I had a thunderstorm last night, had to shut down, & then it was time for bed.

With itunes 11 ru on windows xp professional service pack 3 how do you make itunes play a song, mine doesn't respond?

I've looked for my library and it seems to be stored in a series of folders all labelled "previous itunes library" with a year. It doesn't seem to be able to access it because when I synched my ipod to this library itunes has justed emptied it, I now have a useless ipod.

Welcome to the discussions,
a manual backup should help to transfer your data and apps.
Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing and save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to the new itunes library.
See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After that, transfer your purchases the same way by choosing "transfer purchases", to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored again from the manual backup you made before.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Apps can be downloaded again for free, in case you missed some: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

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 do you get Itunes to go the free radio station list, I'm not talkiing about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that lists about 50 diffrent genes.

How do you get Itunes to go to the free radio station list, I'm not talking about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that gives you 50 diffrent genes to select from?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
But answering quickly, if you mean the streaming stations, click the Internet item:
If you don't see that item, checkmark "Internet Radio" in the General preferences in iTunes.

How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

Hi Dr. Ron,
By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
Cheers,
GB

How can you tell iTunes 7 to ignore other music folders causing duplicates

I just built a new PC and my iTunes library is on a 250 gig disk along with many other folders with music (drum loops, systems sounds, sample content, etc) that I don't want showing up in my iTunes library. Many of the folders contain backups of various thumb drives so there are identical songs in multiple directories showing up as duplicates in iTunes.
Preferences shows my library in a single location.... anyone know how to restrict iTunes to only using this location ? I don't remember hitting an "import my entire hard disk" button, but I may have. I can rip out and re-install if needed, but I don't want iTunes to remember all thge other folders outside of it's home directory... did i miss something really simple ?
Help ! I have about 1000 duplicate songs, some with 3 or 4 copies that reside in the portable media backup directories !

To do this, in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced Tab>General Tab and then uncheck the "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" box.
That has nothing to do with iTunes looking for music on your computer.
Keep iTunes music folder organized will create a folder hierarchy of artist and album names that contains all relevant audio files with the correct track names and order.
When you run iTunes for the first time (only), it asks to search your computer for music.
After the first time, the ONLY music that will get added to iTunes is the music you add. iTunes does not add music based on what you put in folders. It does not "watch" to see if anything is added to a folder.
If you do not want music copied to the iTunes music folder when adding to library, (and you want the music in your own folders somewhere else), set it in the prefs.

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one which has already been described is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

iTunes does not yet offically and fully support Windows 8. If you search this forum for "windows 8", you'll find threads with discussions as to how people have done it, though in almost all cases with less than perfect results.
