How to search for music already on my iPhone

In iOS 6 I could swipe to the left on my Home Screen and search for any file on my phone weather it be music, video, or document. I have over 300 songs on my phone and when I want to play something for someone it now takes a long time to go through all my music just to find what I want in iOS 7. Is there any way to searched for these things with the new iOS 7? I could use Voice Control but it never finds what I want, The voice recognition is too unresponsive.

No, it does not exist in iOS 7. Access to Spotlight has been changed. Take some time to get used to the new operating system. This link will help: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

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 to Search for music in IOS 7?

Does anyone know how to search the music app in IOS 7? I can search in itunes, but cannot find a way to search for a song with the new music app?

Hello Frank,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
The way to search in your Music app for a specific title is very similar to doing a general search on the iPhone.
Search iPhone. Drag down the middle of any Home screen to reveal the search field.
From: iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3c511548
Do the same thing in the Music app and you will see the search bar appear at the top.
Cheers,

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.

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.

Question about how itunes searches for my music

hi,
i have a large library of music that i used to store on an internal hard drive (f:), but recently i got an external hard drive and moved all my music to it (g:).
i copied all my music to the g drive, and in the advanced pull down menu in itunes i changed the location to search for music to g: my music... at that point i thought i was done.
but as it turned out, whereas i thought i had MOVED all my files to the g drive, i had actually copied them, and the ones that were originally on the f drive are still there.
since then i have added lots of music to the library, and it all lives on the g drive. but i am starting to run out of space on my f drive, so when i discovered there were duplicate files there, i wanted to delete them all. here's wherein my problem lies.
if i go to a song that was in the library before i switched over to the g drive, in the get info window for that song in itunes, it still lists the song as living in the f drive as opposed to the g drive.
i need to delete all the music off the f drive, but my concern is that itunes will say i've just lost all that music. is there a way to basically empty out/depopulate itunes of all the music, and then go to file> add folder to library and just choose the g: my music folder? i know it will take a while, but that's fine. i just don't want to lose access to 27 out of 38 gigs of music by deleting the music off my f drive, and i really don't want to have to go through folder by folder and make the transition, as there are several groups who have music listed in both the f anf the g folders... it would be a nightmare to have to go through group by group, album by album.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you delete everything from your iTunes library
(Moving it to the Recylcle Bin), you can then go to
File>Add Folder to Library and select the Music
folder from your external drive.
Or, from the file browser you can locate the Music
folder on the external drive and drag+drop it into
the iTunes window.
Hope this helps!
hi,
okay... this worked sort of, but now i've lost all my playlists. they are still on my actual ipod, but now i need to know... if i go to sync the ipod with itunes, will itunes recognize my playlists and move them into itunes? or do i now need to go through and manually re-setup all my playlists BEFORE syncing again, because the playlists will get wiped out when i go to sync?
please let me know if you have any info about this... i really don't want to lose all my playlists.
thanks,
lori

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)

How to search for a certain cross reference using its name in FM 11?

How to search for a certain cross reference using its name in FM 11?

Well, thank you. I am only using Find dialog box. By "name", I'd like to give an example. The background is FM 11 structured. I have an element "xref" which is used to make cross reference. Now In Chapter 1, there is a sentence like "This is an ODU for ...". I made a cross ref of the word "ODU" to its full name "outdoor unit" in Chapter 2 (in the same book). After this, the word "ODU" in the sentence in Chapter 1 will no longer be a plain text. So I no longer can use the find dialog box to search for "ODU" because it is already an xref rather than text. I am not if it's clear.

AMs and PMs - how to search for small-caps?

In my book I'm proofreading I have a mixture of (because I was undecided when I was putting it together):
i 7.00 a.m.
i 7.00 am
i 7.00am
I ran these three options past about twenty people this morning, 6 voted for the first, 8 voted for the second, 3 voted for the third, and 1 person and myself voted for the option I can't show properly here: small-caps: 7.00 AM. Then of course there was the wag who told me: "Why don't you just say '7 o'clock in the morning' "? And the complete ratbag who suggested, in the interests of avoiding confusion: "7.00 am o'clock in the morning before lunch at 0700 hours."
Before I make them all the same format, which will very likely be small-caps, I want to make sure I can easily search for them so I can replace with an alternative style if I change my mind again later on.
QUES: How do I search for "AM" and "PM" (spaces before and after) if they are formatted in small-caps? I can't use paragraph styles because the AMs and PMs appear in a variety of styles already.

Thanks for all the hints. I'm going to try some of them to see how they work. I should make it clear though (my original post may have been unclear about this) that I was asking how to search for AM in small caps AFTER I had changed all time-formats to that form.
As for why I asked for input: I treat my book a bit like a democracy and give people a chance to vote on certain aspects and make comments just in case they have a good idea that I hadn't thought of; but yes, I'm the boss, and in terms of votes mine counts for 95%. In this case, someone suggested using a colon -- which I have taken on board. So I will be using the time format 7:30 AM to see how it looks. But if I don't like it, I want to be able to find all the small-cap AMs and change them to something else in one go.
My interest in time-formats has stirred some interest locally. My partner proof reads a walking club magazine and she received the latest edition lat night. She has never concerned about time formats before, but after my foray into different options, she came up with the following variety (the club has lots of reports that include times when walking trips start and end), even though she thought she had done a thorough job of proof reading:
9 am
9.00am
9:00 am
9:00am
9.am
9 AM
9.00a.m.
9.00 a.m.

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.

Is there a way to automatically import artwork for music already in librar?

Is there a way to automatically import artwork for music already in library?
I just transferred all my music from a PC into my new mac.
I saw a widget that fetches the album artwork from the web. great fun!!!
Now is there a way to fetch all these artworks automatically.
I did not use istore to buy the music - but imported from my cd collection.
Thanks.
What a great system - simple and no hassles. Thanks Apple. Goodbye PC.

If you are using AlbumArt widget you can do this with the widget interface.
