I want to be able to search for songs the way I could before itunes 11

Please tell me there is a way to switch the search feature back to the original before this update. I hate the fact that my search comes up with albums and artists etc when all I want to do is search for a song and have it show up in the list form. I liked that when you typed in the name of a song, you would get a list of the songs as you were typing it and could just click through your library. Now its complicated. Please, is there a way to fix this?

I want to add something to be a little clearer. I know that you can select from the search window what options to search for (artist, album, etc). What I don't like is when you search, the main library window just sits there. Why wont the songs appear in the main library? I dont want to have to click on the song in the search window. If I am searching for a song called diamonds, then while I am typing in the name I want all the songs that have all those letters to show up just like in the older version of itunes. Like if I typed the first letter D, all songs with d would show up in the main library window. Then I would have Di, all the songs with Di. Diamo, then all the songs with Diamo in its title would show up. Why wont this work now? Its really ruining my experience as it was so useful the way it used to work.

  • With an older version of Firefox, we were able to search for sites and be forewarned about dangerous sites with warning icons. How can we enable the icons to appear again?

    Recently our Office Depot Tech switched us from an older version of Firefox to the current version. For the last two years, we were able to search for sites on Yahoo and icons would appear. The icons would suggest that a site is unsafe to click onto because a red triangle with an exclamation point would appear. These icons no longer appear since the Tech switched us to the current version of Firefox. I want to be sure I am clicking onto safe sites. I believe the icon used to be a green padlock if the site was safe to enter.

    There are any number of services. Just do some Google searching. There are services like Picassa, MediaFire, PhotoBucket, Tumblr, and many others. Just takes a little research on your part.

    It sounds like you are talking about the cloning tool?
    Tool looks like this:
    Then when selected you can change the size of the brush and using Alt (windows) and Command (Mac) to select your region you want to copy then start to create you cloned image.
    Hope this helps?

  • Music Player continuously searching for songs and ...

    I have a N97 running firmware v.21.0.045 and about a week or so ago I was forced to do the hard reset because the phone became so unstable. I left my E: drive (the mass storage) intact including all of my songs, videos and pictures I had stored.
    Everything seems to be okay apart from the Music Player which everytime I use it it starts to search for songs and podcasts continuously. I can stop that and it lists all of my music and can play them but the volume control does not work, either from the telephone or the earpiece supplied.
    I have tried leaving it searching for hours but nothing changes - it just keeps on searching. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this please or does it mean I have to do another reset of the telephone? It all worked before.
    I have tried taking the battery out but this makes no difference.

    This is the solution
    ok i found the solution here by deleting the corrupted library
    http://portablevideo.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-player-database-problems.html 
    now one of these below is for the music and one for the photos and i didnt have a problem with the photos but did it anyways and now the player can see my music:
    these are the files that need deleting in order to get rid of the corrupted library.
    Storage Drives: (Mass storage E, Memory Card F)
    \private\101ffca9\harvesterdbvx_x.dat
    \private\10281e17\[string]mpxvx_x.db
    \private\10281e17\[string]pcvx_x.db 
    TIP: Connect the device in USB mass storage mode (File Transfer), to locate the private folder from the PC.
    TIP: STRING and x_x will change depending on your phone. (my files had slightly different names than above on the n97

  • Searching for song in library and getting a runtime error...?

    So, right after downloading the new iTunes... I had no problems at all.
    I would go through, search for songs in the search bar for my library, and again, no problems.
    No matter what I searched for it worked... Unless I searched for a song with the letter A.
    Every other letter works no problem.
    I put the first letter in the search bar, no matter the letter, and immediately start getting results.
    ... The second I put the letter A in the search bar... it freezes for a sec, then gives me a runtime error and closes.
    I would really super appreciate any help with this. Or atleast to know I'm not the only one with this problem or similar problem(s)...

    Okay... Are they still working on this new iTunes...?
    Because now I have a new problem.
    In the library, only purchased songs are showing up. And other songs I have, like say the ones I have on my ipod now that I got from my cds, aren't showing up in the library at all.
    They're on my ipod... When you go under the ipod and go under 'On this ipod', they're all there...
    But they only show up there.
    I can't listen to em' on itunes. And I can't seem to get them over into my library...
    Is there anyway to fix this, without having to manually go through and add them all over again...
    I REALLY could use the help with this...

    Hello kumar kalptaru, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you're wondering how to hang up a call besides using the Sleep/Wake button. 
    Other than this, you can tap the red hang up button on the Phone app. See the iPhone User Guide for more help:
    While on a call - iPhone
    End a call. Tap  or press the Sleep/Wake button.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy 

  • Where does one search for ALL the APPS that are available?

    Where does one search for All the apps that are available ?

    If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
    Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
    Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

  • Problems searching for songs on iTunes

    Everytime I try to search for songs on iTunes, it only allows me to type one letter and then it says searching for iTunes.

  • How to organize songs the way I want!!

    Ok, bear with me:
    I hate the way songs are organized in Itunes. I wanted to be able to go in Songs and have everything alphabetized by artist and then song like this:
    John Lennon - Imagine.
    Or by titles I create like: 80's - Europe - Final Countdown.
    Now, if I ever have tag info, Itunes organizes by song name only in the song list. So basically, my solution was to delete ALL tag info so that songs show up as they do on my computer. This works well for navigating to songs in the song list but then I can't have anything organized by album or artist.
    My problem is this: I'd like to be able to go into Albums and/or Artists and have bands organized there as well in case I just want listen from those (potential) lists, as well as having files organized by artist-song name in Songs. In a perfect world, I'd be able to add full albums into Albums and either not have them listed at all under songs (probably not possible) or have them list the way I want in Songs: artist dash song.
    Is there any way to make this happen? Thanks for any tips.

     every negative experience is an opportinity to learn.   deleting or moderating these experiences would be turning away the chance to learn.   as long as users follow the participation rules, we allow even the most negative posts to remain. 
    as you said, forums are inherently negative by nature as users typically come here to solve a problem.   those of us who try to solve the problems are in the minority.   we certainly appreciate users such as yourself who voluntarily return to the forum to help out, especially those who initially came here to solve a problem themselves.
    thank you as well.
