Is the search bar gone in iTunes 7?

OH NO! I think Apple took out the SearchBar! NOOOO!
Can anyone confirm? Hopefully I just have not found out how to enable it in version 7.

I'm sorry to confirm it's gone.
Apparently the new Movies, TV Shows and Audiobook icons in the source pane have replaced that function.

How do I get the scrolling bar to stop popping up when I'm connected to the iTunes Store? It wont allow me to type in the search bar when it pops up.

When I am connected to the iTunes Store a scrolling bar pops up which says "accessing itunes store" even though I'm connected. It pops up every time i try to type a letter in the search bar, not allowing me to type. I can type 1 letter in then it pops up. Very frustrating.

Do you have disk use enabled? If so, disable it.
Check iTunes/edit/preferences. With the iPod connected of course. : )

Where's the search bar in itunes store

Trying to search for songs to download but can't find a search box! Can anyone help?

I just resolved this issue by doing the following (Please read the entire post before performing):
Quit iTunes
Open Finder and click Go > Go to Folder... (or press Shift-Command-G)
Type the following (or copy and paste) and press return:
~/Music/iTunes
Move the file "iTunes Library.itl" to Trash. DO NOT empty Trash yet (because if this does not resolve the issue, you will want to put this back)
Relaunch iTunes and see if you now have the top bar in iTunes, including the search bar in the top-left.
NOTE: Removing the iTunes Library.itl file can cause you to lose Playlists, and even cause your music on disk to be unrecognized. It is highly recommended that you back up with Time Machine before performing this task.
If you know where your music is on disk (most likely still somewhere withing that iTunes folder, possibly just in iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media) you can still drag this music back into iTunes for it to reorganize and recognize the music. There is not much you can do about Playlists other than manually recreating them or quitting iTunes and putting back the iTunes Library.itl file.

How to select songs using the search bar in iTunes for Windows 8.1

Just today (8th May, 14) I couldn't select songs when using the search bar in the top right hand side of iTunes. I patched it but it didn't solve the problem, however once I ran as administrator it did fix the problem. Is there a way to not have to run as administrator every time I want to open iTunes and/or is there a way to fix this problem? I have iTunes pinned on my taskbar so by default it does not open iTues as administrator. Thanks

Hi,
This should be compatible issue.
Please try to install the driver in Windows 8.1 compatible mode:
Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

If you still find unknown device in your Device manager, right click to update the driver to see what's going on.
For further troubleshooting, please post back the C:\WINDOWS\INF\setupapi.dev.log
here for our research.
You can update it onto OneDrive or the similar network device and share the link here.

It is else it would not have been able to be selected to import.
The simple fact that it shows up in iTunes Search means it is in the iTune library.
It is a bug where some imports do not show up in the iTunes library (but they usually show up in Recently Imported playlist) until a restart of iTunes, which usually fixes it.

ITunes 7 : where is the search bar ?

Hi !
I can't find the command to display the search bar in iTunes 7 (you know, the bar that allowed the user to choose on which field the search criterias was applied : song name, artist, ...).
Am I missing something or has the feature been dropped from the new iTunes ?

Previous post:
I agree, the search criteria bar was a great feature that really made it an Apple program, it is a feature from the OS, that they migrated into iTunes. It really seems like Apple dropped the ball on this version, maybe they lost the source for iTunes 6 and they were working from a previous version, BSing it as they go? Maybe they outsourced this version?
It really reflects poorly on them, in my opinion.
I get the same impression on having started this version from the wrong version of the source code, bizarre as that seems. Lots of tweaks seem actual steps backwards for no real reason. And some of the bugs we're seeing are just simply daft - and feel like they were fixed ages ago. Some of the stuff I've seen just shouldn't have been broken by the changes they did make.
(Like how can you suddenly not notice you've completeed the last track in a playlist, so you'll just sit there not completing... and not marking playcount/last played.). I wonder if for some key components of iTunes they picked the wrong version off the shelf?

Where has the TextEdit search bar gone?

I have just loaded Yosemite. When I open a TextEdit document the search bar no longer appears in the top right hand corner of the window. Is there a setting to get it back?

Hi Sparkleberry , thanks for the responses. I need to clarify, it is not the search bar itself that shrinks, it is the text in the doc. And it is a pain as I use the simple .txt as a reference.
Regarding the search bar - that explains a lot. I think everyone responding so far thought that the search bar was shrinking.
Regarding shrinking text, there is an easy explanation :
when you press Command plus - (minus) key you step down the font size in your selected text in TextEdit.
Do that again and you will go from Typeface Menlo size 17 down to 16, do it again and it goes down to 15 and so on.
Press Command plus + and you step up the selected text by a point size....and the process reverses itself.
So since you now know that "Command + minus" steps typeface size down and "Command + plus" steps typeface size up you can stop doing that and you won't have shrinking text

I can't get Google (word & icon) to load in the search bar on my home page. How can I fix this?

Starting a few weeks ago every time I load my home page in Firefox (v20) the search bar, next to the right side of the address bar, comes up what I call blank. It's just a small blank sheet of paper with the upper corner turned down. What should be in that search box is the icon and word "Google". When the icon and the word Google doesn't load I can't type any web address in the address bar and change to that web site. Also, when I bring down the menu of previous web addresses from the address bar and click (highlight) one of them nothing happens either. I have tried about everything I can find on this or that I can think of and so far nothing has worked. Once in a while I might get the Google icon & word to come up like it's supposed to in the search bar but it won't stay. It might last the rest of a given evening but the next time I bring up my home page it's gone. I really NEED help on this.
Thanks for any help or suggestions for this problem.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Safari is saving every site I've been on into the search bar on my MacBook AIR OMG soooo MAD!! Help PLEASE!!!!!!

So now it says: search: This Mac Home Desktop Contents File Name with "this mac" and "contents" highlighted
And then in the search bar to the far right with the magnify glass I typed the phrase "nos.." by accident...then I noticed almost EVERY webpage/instragram/youtube I've ever been on comes up, some of them listed numerous times.
I see all these random youtube videos Ive watched, all these websties, and the worst peoples instagrams that Ive been stalking LMAO!! Like when I type in for example "ashley" it comes up ashley9234 (for example) instagram 6 times in a row listed, but some pages only once, all these webpages everything omg I cant sleep knowing almost every site Ive ever been to is there..and you cant click it or delete it, I just dont like to see it.
And I did click "Reset Safari" , clear history everynight before I turn off my computer, but you see that is not the problem...the problem is that why stuff Ive visited from even 7 months ago show up , and why some are listed numerous times like 6 times in a row...omg Apple...you have let me down big time. Now I can never sell my mac ever!!! So next laptop is soo gonna be Sony or something..guys please..I really really really need your help Im losing sleep over this

How do I remove the search bar that continues to reappear no matter how many times I manually remove it?

For a short while now the search bar has been appearing on my Firefox browser. I don't want it there and removing it using the 'custom' settings when I click in a blank area in my browser does not work, it keeps coming back along with the 'bookmarks' button.
No, there is nothing in my Add/Remove programs that resembles the search bar in any way, shape or form. I've already checked again and again, it's simply not there and not an option.
Yes, I've checked if perhaps it were one of the plugins I use and that is not the case. I've removed all the plugins to check and it still appears.
I don't want this bar there, it's annoying and I want it gone. No there are no options to remove it in its options. I don't care about how useful other people say it is, I find it annoying. Every time I open Firefox it's there...I want it gone.
Refer to screenshot: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/MasakoTomoe/untitled-2.jpg
So, how do I get rid of it?

Seems that may have worked and that's great, thank you. But now I have another problem which seems to be as persistent as the search bar has been.
Now when I edit the bar and position of the buttons some of those buttons disappear when I click Ok in the customization, but reappear when I reopen the customization settings.
Why is that? When I put a space in between some of the buttons the buttons near the space will disappear and leave a blank space where it should be.
I'm beginning to be rather annoyed with this Firefox Beta to say the least and am considering returning to the version before it. Whatever I do now as far as customizing is concerned of the toolbar is reset every time I reopen Firefox. The buttons are no longer where I had set them up, the address bar is stretched to it's maximum, the Menu Bar is back the far left edge, buttons are missing that I had put there, and buttons I had removed are returned.
:| I know it may seem insignificant to some people but it annoys the crap out of me. I understand this is a beta and if there is no solution then I perhaps will use the earlier version for a while.
Thanks for your input by they way, it's much appreciated.

I added a movie to my iPod, but it won't show up in the videos library! I have to search for it in the search bar!

So I downloaded a video in mp4 format and added it to iTunes. It shows up in the Home Videos tab and i can play it just fine, but, when i plug my iPod Touch into my pc and let it sync, it doesn't show! When i say this i mean it is ON my ipod, but to get to it i have to search for it in Videos. All that shows up in the library is a Family Guy episode i purchased from itunes a while back and at the top it says "Family Guy" as if it is it's own catagory. There is no back button or any buttons for that matter. Just the search bar and the episode. This is what i get when i launch Videos:
And to get the video i have to tap the search bar and search it and play it from there

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

I've found no way to sort. For example, if I type the group "Rush" into the search bar, I get a list of songs recorded by rush and literally thousands of other songs and artists with the word rush in them. There is; however, no way to sort the results.

In the Search box click on the black Arrow and UNTICK the Search Entire Library.
Then the Search results in Songs view will be displayed in the main Grid and you can sort them by clicking on the column headers.
You can also turn on the column browser which can help with filtering

Why is the search bar blue and the text not showing up?

This started today but I had this problem in the past prior to the last Firefox update. Whenever I click on the search bar, it highlights with a blue background and none of the text shows. So if I make a mistake, I cannot see it.
Firefox did this the time you updated and it crashed every time I did anything. Your last update seems to have solved the chrashing, but the blue bar with NO text is back.

I read that somewhere yesterday so I went into Constant Guard and turned it off for 15 minutes. The highlighted blue box went away. I turned it off and problem is gone.

Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?

Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.
