Is it possible to search for albums by artists name?

I am new to mac and have only had one and my ipod touch for a couple of weeks, so this may be a simple question or might not be possible. Is there a way of being able to search for albums, but to do it with the artists name rather than the albums name. This is because I have a lot of dj sets on my ipod which when I am looking through for a set to put on and not sure what to put on I either have to search in artist and in that list lots of the artists don't have albums or full sets they are just songs on compilations, so I have a lot of names in the list I don't wont. If I search for albums then It is the Compilation names which will put the same artist scattered all through the list. The only way I think I could do this is to rename all my albums with the pre-fix of the artists name, but would list all the albums and there may be 20 or so albums by the same artist so again a big lists. I hope I'm explaining myself enough so someone can understand what I'm trying to do, and can give me some ideas of what to do.

The only way I can think of doing it is to create a play list for each artist then a could search through the artists names in playlists.
Why not simply search thru the Artists list? Or the Album list?
Besides, if you created a playlist for an artist, it only shows the songs, not the albums for that artist.
Don't clog up & slow down iTunes and your iPod by unecessarily duplicating info.
Tap Artists and it will show you all the artists.
Tap a specific Artist and it will list the albums for that artist.

  • Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and...

    Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

  • Possible to Search for a Calendar

    Somehow I ended up with Calendars named "Untitled", "Untitled 2" and "Untitled 3". I don't know how these showed up and don't know what events could be associated with them. Don't want to just delete these Calendars without knowing what they have in them.
    Is it possible to search for all events within a particular Calendar? Or maybe organize/sort events by Calendar?

    smilingdog,
    Enter the " character in the iCal Search field which is located in the upper right hand corner of the iCal window. When you do that you will be presented with a results pane in the bottom of the iCal window. The results pane will have four columns at the top (Calendar/Date/Type/Title). Click on the "Calendar" column to see the results organized by specific calendars.
    Alternately, you can (⌘ + click) on any calendar in the "CALENDARS" source pane to deselect all calendars, then the calendar that you want to display, and enter the " character in the search field. That will display only the entries associated with that particular calendar.
    As a side note, the search field has a magnifying glass icon with a small down arrow which can be used to specify what items to search in.

    I plan on creating a data structure of ArrayLists and would like to be able to check if I have come upon another ArrayList in the ArrayList. Perhaps the idea is illogical but this is for fun. Please offer some advice as to do so or otherwise suggest something else. Thank you.This suggests that your ArrayList will hold different types of objects. If so, I strongly urge you to reconsider this as it is fraught with dangers. Instead have your ArrayList hold only one Type of object. This type may be represented by a class, interface, enum, etc.

  • I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • Is there a way to see app info after searching for an app by name on the iPad 2?

    I open app store on iPad.
    Search for an app by name.
    Results show up.
    I want to click the app like in iTunes to read the info about it, but the only option is to buy and install it.
    Shouldn't there be an option to view the info first?

    Tap tapping "Developer Web Site" or "Develoepr Page, or "App Support" or "More".
    Example. Open the App Store
    In the search field top right corner of the window type in:   Creative Postcard HD
    You should see "More" on the right with a down facing arrow. That should "expand" the window providing more information.

  • Is it possible to search for Duplicates in Aperture v3.1

    Hi Guys,
    I'm hoping you guys can help me,
    I'm re-scanning my family photo archive at a much higher resolution,
    and i can't seem to find a way of searching for duplicates of the same image, but at different resolutions.
    i have achieved this in the past using "ExpressionMedia2" (previously called "iViewMediaPro"),
    This program had a command to "Search for Similar",
    with a slider to move from close match to exact match,
    which was pretty accurate, no matter what size the images were.
    I'm tempted to use this program,
    but i'm not sure how Aperture will handle images that have been deleted by another program.
    and how can i strip orphaned previews out of the Aperture Library ?
    I'm new to Aperture, and like it's way of working,
    but, it's very powerful and does have many un-intuitive commands within it
    Hoping you guys can help me,
    billy

    Aperture has no in-library dupe detection. It only has it on import.
    As for other apps deleting files from the Aperture library -- they shouldn't do that. If they are merely deleting a file at the Finder level ( that is referenced into AP), then that image will be marked as Missing in Aperture. You can do a Find for all those your self, or you can make a smart album, then delete at your convenience.

  • Is it possible to search for keywords in an XML file?

    Hey all,
    I'm currently searching for ways to count the number of pre-defined keywords in an XML file. An example would be trying to find how many times "war" is mentioned in a news networks RSS feed <title></title> and adding it to a variable.
    I've found a few custom AS3 XML class files out there but nothing I've been able to adapt. I'm at the point of considering just taking the title of these news stories converting them all to strings and searching them that way...
    I'd be grateful for any help
    Thanks!

    An XML element can have multiple attributes such as:
    <title keyword="war" category="international">War Breaks Out in the Middle East!</title>
    In the above example, the XML element <title> has 2 attributes named keyword and category.
    So in my example I'm searching for the attribute named "keywords" within the element <newsItem>.
    The XML document could be formatted something as the following:
    ============
    <someNewsFeed>
         <items>
              <newsItem keyword="war" category="international" url="www.cnn.com/headline2010020111">War Breaks Out in the Middle East!</newsItem>
              <newsItem keyword="healthcare" category="politics" url="www.cnn.com/headline2010020321">Healthcare Bill Still Has Some Hurdles to Jump</newsItem>
              <newsItem keyword="lady gaga" category="entertainment" url="www.cnn.com/headline2010020981">Lady Gaga Has 360 Reach</newsItem>
         </items>
    </someNewsFeed>
    ===========
    So in my example, the if/else loop is looking through each XML node named <newsItem> and when it finds it, it then see if it has an attribute called "keyword" and if it does, it then looks to see if it contains the word "war". If it DOES, then it will do the proceeding actions.
    ===========
    if (newsFeed.items.newsItem[q].attribute("keyword") == "war") {
              warKeywordCounter == warKeywordCounter+1; //increase your keyword counter
              trace("Current value of warKeywordCounter = "+ warKeywordCounter);
    ==========
    I'm assuming you already know how to load external XML documents into flash.
    I hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to search for a specific term or data in Numbers for iOS?

    I looked for similar questions, but all of the similar questions did not specify if they were talking about the Mac version or the iOS.  So I apologize if the question has been asked.
    Is there a way to search for a specific term or criteria in Numbers for iOS?
    My father owns a small business and has a large inventory of parts.  He wants a simple way to search his inventory for a particular part number and see how many of a the specific part number he has in his inventory, while not in the shop or having to call in.  He wants to take an iPad along with him.
    My first thought was to create an spreadsheet.  I have a basic knowledge of how spreadsheets work, and I don't think my father would like anything more complicated.
    I was thinking about making the 1st column list the part number, 2nd column list the quantity in the shop, 3rd column list the quantity in the truck.
    If Numbers for iOS is not able to do this, suggestions for alternatives are welcome.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi j4nitor
    Would the "Find" option in the "Tools" menu do the job?
    If you search for the part number, it will be highlightet, and with your outline for a setup, I guess that would give you the overview you are talking about.
    Hope it helps.
    Best regards

  • Is it possible to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

    In our RoboHelp project, there are figures with text labels such as Figure 1, Figure 3-2, etc.
    When I search for "Figure 3" I get all pages containing "Figure" and "3", even if I surround it in quotes.  Similarly, searching for "3-2" treats the '-' character as a space and searches for all pages containing '3' or '2'.
    Is there a way to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

    In that case I think the answer is no if you are using the standard search engine. However I believe that Zoom Search does allow this type of searching. Check out this link for further information.

  • How to get Name 2 also when we search for a customer using 'Name' as search

    In XD03, when I am searching for Customer using ‘Name’ as Search term I am getting postal code, Name1, City, Customer no. I want Name2 also to be displayed. Can somebody please suggest.
    Thank you.

    hi,
        for this you will have to change the search term involved during the master data creation.
    now during the creation of customer master data , enter the name as the search term in the data base.
    if possible change the database of customers and insert the name in the search term.
    without it, it will be really difficult to locate the customers with the search term as their name

  • I get an error that says can't connect to the itunes store when I search for a specific artist only

    Hi all,
    When I try to search for music by a specific artist in the iTunes store on my iPhone 5, I get an error that says "Can't connect to the iTunes store".  This only happens when I search for music by this band.  I can search for other artists and listen to song clips and everything seems to be connecting to the iTunes store just fine.  But for some reason, it doesn't work with this artist.  The band name is July for Kings.  Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I hope so!
    Thanks,
    Rick

    hopefully they can help. You may also be interested to know that for some reason it is just not available to a lot of people at the same time. Appears to be an issue of more users than their servers can handle. Has happened periodically for at least 6 months that I know of but apparently users are able to use within several days if there are no other issues with the users device.

  • How do I search for songs and artists within playlists?

    In the Itunes music app on the Ipod touch there are several views (Songs, Playlists, Genius, Artists, etc.) In song view if you swipe down it reveals the search bar. However when you go to Playlist view and choose a specific playlist there is no search bar or option anywhere to search for a specific song, artist, genre etc.
    So how the heck do we search within playlists, where is the search bar or where is the option to search in a specific playlist?

    Top right hand corner of the store is the search bar. Just type it in, and it shows up.
