How to search downloaded podcasts in iTunes

In previous versions of Itunes it was possible to search the description  of a podcast with the search field in iTunes. When i search with the current  version of iTunes the search only return matches from the title of the  podcasts.
Example:
Title: Bicycle podcast week 42 - Mountain bikes.
Description: In this weeks podcast we'll discuss mountain bikes, as well as how to repair a broken spoke.
In previous versions of iTunes, a search for "spoke" would return a  match for this podcast, while the current version would not find any  match. Is there a setting I've missed, or is the possibility to search  for key words in the podcast's description removed?

You have made sure you are in the Lists view as I am, haven't you?
I can't remember when the alternative views came in (I don't use 'em), but the search doesn't find words in the description if you are in any of those other views. Actually, that's not strictly true. If I use the My Podcasts view and search for debut, this is what I get:
But...
that ringed 1 replaces lots of other ringed numbers.
So before the search, a number-in-a-circle shows the quantity of unplayed episodes. Once I search, those numbers now indicate results for that search. But everything else is still displayed (Rubbish - isn't it?) Notice that the episode displayed on the right (Pheppidations) has nothing to do with the search, nothing at all! (Yup, really rubbish!) And to find the other results of the search, I have to scroll down the complete list.
Searching in the List view, shows only the results and hides non-results
Searching in My Podcasts view continues to show every single Podcast and one has to search the list to find the results. I'm not impressed!
I wouldn't hold out much hope for you with iTunes 11.1.4.

  • How do i download podcast on my PC? Its asking me to type in the podcast name ending in xml but where do i find the rest ???

    How do I download podcast onto my pc? I already do have iTunes. It ask me to type in podcast name ending in xml then click on install but where is the rest of the name?? where do I find this? Might be something simple I just seem to miss. Help!!! lol

    The easiest way to subscribe to a podcast is locate it in a directory. There will normally be a link with the URL of the feed. This is like any other link but your podcatcher, iTunes in this case, knows how to read the text file stored there to access the individual episodes and download or stream them for you. If you know the name of the podcast, and it is registered with iTunes you can go into the podcasts section of your iTunes library, click iTunes Store, then use the search box at the top right. If you have the full URL for the podcast you can use File > Subscribe to Podcast..., or you can use a link on the providers web site.
    Using the iTunes directory is usually the easiest way.
    Click on the link for the podcast (4) to open the next screen,
    and either subscribe (5) or download individual episodes without subscribing (6).

    How do I transfer Podcast from iTunes to my iPhone?

    Plug your iPhone into the computer USB and click on the phone icon on the left side of the screen.  Then, on top of the screen, you will see a "podcasts" tab.  Click it and you will see the opportunity to automatically sync all unplayed episodes, etc.  You might need to select the directory to which you download the podcasts, but this should do it.

    Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hi mrmoo13!
    You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
    You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
    In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
    You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:

  • All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive?

    All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive? I know how to do it one song at a time, but I want to know if there is a way to do it for all 10,000 song files at once?

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps.

    how do you download music from itunes on pc to itunes on mac

    If both computers are on the same network, you could just mount the Windows machine and drag and drop the songs from the PC to your Mac, and then add them to your Mac iTunes Library by importing.
    That's the simplest way I know...
