HT1879 Searching for a Tv show, itunes only returns music tracks

I have been getting so frustrated. I select TV from the menu then put into the search bar which show I want. However, the results of the search are always music tracks not TV shows, and I have to try all over again. I have then had to scroll through the whole page of shows to find the one I was searching for. Is there a way to fix this and make it easier?

The Search box just searches the whole store, it's doesn't limit it to the part of the store that you are currently viewing. And not all TV programmes are available in from iTunes or in all countries.
You could use this webpage to search for items https://linkmaker.itunes.apple.com
That will give a link to click on which will allow you to view an items's description page on a browser, and which will have a 'view in iTunes' button on the left-hand sde of it to then go to it in the store.
Or there is also a Browse button under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store home page :
That will allow you to select TV programmes, the genre, and the programme and series

Searching for Movie Types in iTunes

I would like to search for surfing movies in ITunes but it isn't possible to search for a movie by subject in iTunes the way that I can with tv shows. Am I missing something or should I continue to get my surf movies from Netflix?

You can browse movies by category (though there's not a category for "surf") but there's no way to search for them, only by Title, Actor, Director, Producer, or Year.

Windows 8.1 PC, using reader, when searching a folder containing approx 100 doc's. If i search for a word, no results are returned. only the doc names can be found but nothing from within the doc. This is a new problem and was not the case before.

Works perfectly fine for me with the latest Reader version (11.0.09).
You write that it worked "before"; before what? An update? Update from what version to what version?

When I search for an artist in itunes, the songs will pop up and then the page goes blank?

When I search for an artist in itunes, the songs pop up briefly, but once the page loads completely, the page goes blank.

I'm having the same difficulty. I'm running Windows Vista with iTunes 9.0.3.15. iTunes opens up just fine and I can get to the Store's homepage, but when I try and search for a song, the results just flash on the page for 2 seconds and then it's all gone....I'm left with one big, empty box. If I'm quick, sometimes I can click on a random song and I can hear the sample played, but then it's gone again while the song is playing.
Guess I won't be buying anything more from iTunes...
Tried to ask about this problem here: http://www.apple.com/ca/support/itunes/contact.html
I'll post any response I receive.
Maybe you can try contacting them too to see what they have to say?

When searched for, my podcast shows up with my name only.

Hello there. My buddy and I decided to make a podcast and all is going well, except when I search for it it just shows up as "Blake's Podcast" by "Blake Perdue" in the results page. No picture either. However, when you click on it the podcast itunes page itself looks completely fine, with picture and proper titles.

I don't really know what I've done wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps it's just a matter of waiting?

As you say, the Store page is fine, and you can subscribe and get correct results. The feed seems to be OK.
Was your podcast previously entitled 'Blakes's Podcast' and you changed the title? Experience of other posters here suggests that for some reason the search results page can take a lot longer to update than the Store page does; so if this is the case it's just a question of waiting until it sorts itself out.
If your podcast was never entitled 'Blake's Podcast' then there is no obvious explanation, and I could only refer you to Support:

Searching for literal strings in iTunes

Is this possible? Using double quotations marks will not do the trick and it is important for me to search for a literal string. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Are you sure??? If I put, for example "To Party" in the search box for my music library it brings back 41 tracks. If I use the little drop down arrow to match only on Song name it drops down to 15, but if I create a smart playlist with the rule *Name contains To Party* it matches just 7. Seems like a "literal" pattern match to me.
Anyway, for inspiration on writing AppleScripts look no further than http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ - not having a Mac I write mine in VBScript and the two systems are very different so I can't really offer any pointers.

How do I search for one of my bookmarks only within a SUBFOLDER of all of my bookmarks?

It seems like Firefox only allows you to search for a specific bookmark by searching ALL of your bookmarks and not just limiting a search to a specific sub-folder of bookmarks. I've put a lot of time into bookmarking thousands of sites and i don't want 25 hits on a search result, just the one in the subfolder where I know the specific bookmark is that i'm looking for.
Is it possible to do this? Amy i missing something?
Thanks.

While you wait for a change to the code of Firefox itself...
You might want to try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/show-parent-folder/ Show Parent Folder] extension. It will show the folder name of the bookmark in a column in your search results. I'm assuming you can group by the folder by clicking the column heading, but I haven't tested it.
If you use the same name in different parts of the hierarchy (e.g., 2013, or Old), the extension's Options dialog allows you to show the full hierarchy.
Does that help?

Why cant i search for artists in my itunes search area?

why cant i search for music/artists in my itunes search area when i'm logged on to itunes?

I should be more specific, I live in the USA, Type Disney into the search and then go to movies, you will see a list of Disney movies.
BUT that is not all the Disney films on Itunes.
The Majority of Disney films that are available on Itunes do not show up when searching the word Disney.
You have to look them up individualy by name. For Example: Darby O'Gill and the little People, Pocahantas 2, Atlantis: Milo's return, Ducktales the Movie, The Sword in the Stone, The Rescuers Down Under.
All of these and MANY more do not come up when you search for Disney or Disney movies.
Why?

Can you search for videos in the iTunes store?

When I go to the music videos section of the iTunes store, it looks like I can only search through a long list. Is there any way to search for a specific music video in the iTunes Store?

Hi and welcome.....
Select iTunes music store on the left side of the iTunes window. You will see a search field.
Type in the name of the music video there, then press Return or Enter on your keyboard.

Searching for apps not showing the desired apps

On 6/28/2012 at around 4 PM EST, I searched for the app "Chrome" on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1. I wasn't shown the Chrome browser in the search results. However, when I search for the same app on iTunes on my mac, I can find that app. I don't want to synch my phone to my comupter just to install this app. Any idea why might this be happening. This isn't the first time, it has happened before too. BTW my account is US iTunes based account.

But this issue always happens, whenever there is a new app. I have to wait for a day or two or install it by synching the phone to my mac. I just want to throw it out there, so that I know if this happens to others or just me.

BUG: Searching for the word "united" in Contacts returns far too many results

To recreate this bug:
1. I open the Contacts App on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1.
2. In the search field within the app, I search for the word "united." (For example, if I am trying to located the address book card for United Airlines).
3. Instead of showing me just the results of companies/people that have the word "united" in their name or notes field, the app returns almost every single one of my contacts as a search result, EVEN THOUGH THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE WORD "UNITED" IN THEIR NAME, DESCRIPTION, OR NOTES FIELD.
I think this might be happening because I have used the iOS feature of connecting my Contact App with Facebook. Because of this, many of my contacts have the word "unified contact info" in their description. Although this doesn't entirely explain why searching for the word "united" would show "unified contact info" contacts, the Facebook/Contacts App connection may have something to do with this bug.
Regardless, if I search for the word "united" on my iPhone, the Contact App still returns almost every single contact as a search result, even though the word "united" cannot be found within those contacts.

I think it is because the system adds "United States of America" to every address by default.
You need to search using different parameters, for example, "Airlines".

Search for a phrase in quotation marks returns extraneous results

I'm searching for help with a specific error. I used Advanced Search to limit the search to the iTunes forums and searched for this phrase:
"This computer is not authorized"
The result is 199 messages, most of which do not include that specific phrase.
I thought Search was simply ignoring the quotation marks, but when I remove them, the result is 356 messages.
Searching this forum, I found someone had already reported this problem. I couldn't reply because that thread was opened *two years ago*, and new posts are blocked because it's archived. So I'm reopening this important issue.

How do I show iTunes my WMP music library without duplicating the files

I have kind of a lot of music on my Dell PC... most of my music is MP3 format. I like it that way, sometimes I want to use my old, dumb MP3 player to play music, so I can us my iPhone for more important things like, txting, talking to a person via the 'phone' feature, navigation, etc.... all without interruption to my music play-back.... so, I realized a while ago that whenever I 'show' iTunes music in my existing WMP library, it would duplicate the files and place them inside an iTunes folder, inside the 'My Music' folder. I'm sure there is a way to point my iTunes library to use the existing MP3 library, without it duplicating.... I just haven't been able to figure it out. Now I'm maxing use of 75Gigs of music storage... I think I'm going to have to resolve this duplication issue if I want to keep ripping my CDs onto my HD. Please don't suggest that I convert everything to iTunes and delete the WMP library. I'd love to do that, IF iTunes weren't so fat and invassive to run. That program has gotten too fat & slow.... (yeah, I know, WMP is catching up). Often, I just want to add some tracks to a device without the software inventorying my entire device before it will add a cpouple of tracks. For that, (I can't beleive I'm saying this) but I actually will use WMP whenever possible. iTunes is just too big, slow & bossy. So, can anyone help me out here? How do I get i-Tunes to see & use my WMP library w/out duplicating the files... just using the "My Music" folder as is? I'm sure someone told me that was possible. Many thanks!
