ITunes 10.7.0.21 won't let me search songs in library by "KIND" anymore.

Is there anyway to bring this back?  No matter what columns I have selected under VIEW OPTIONS, the search bar only checks by ALL, ARTIST, ALBUM, COMPOSE, or SONG.

I have this same problem, however, my search feature consistently works as long as I do not input more than one character. For example: if I search for "ani" it finds Ani Difranco but I won't be able to click any of the search results. If I search for "a" I will receive search results that are clickable. I am also running the latest iTunes version and cannot resolve this issue.

    i just got a new laptop and it won't let me drag my music from my itunes on my new computer to my laptop.  anyone know why? or how I can fix that?

    Has the New Laptop been Authorised...
    Open iTunes
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • ITunes 11 Won't Let Me Add Songs To Library

    I made this a new question because the previous posts were pretty old. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4562384?start=0&tstart=0 Thats the previous with the most replies that I could find. The options they suggested were :
    1) file>add folder to library> navigated my way to the name of the folder> highlighted the one i wanted and pushed "select folder" and it brings in any song not already in the library.
    2) Have you enabled the menu bar? with the menu bar enabled you can add file or add a folder, also at the bottom left you se the + sign, click that and you have the same options.
    3) make sure ur genius is on.
    That did my job..
    4) I just selected "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library", it works! It was unselected before, and iTunes 11 keeps the old settings. If you are in the same case, don't miss this setting!
    5) solved the problem by right-clicking the songs and clicking "convert to AAC". they immediately appeared in my library. hope this helps.
    6) In store preferences, I deselected "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" and everything was back to normal!
    7) I had this problem as well, what helped me was to rename the MP3 file you're trying to add and just try re-adding again. Hopefully it works.
    8) Mine seems to work once and awhile randomly. If you look hard enough you can see the import crash. White box flashes up and goes away.
    Sometimes clearing itunes cash/restarting makes it happy?
    9)Problem Solved - If using Windows 7 and for instance you want to add folder to itunes you must first transfer the music you want to upload to itunes in the Music Folder - Noted as "Public Music Folder" - This applies to either music on your system itself or from an External Hard Drive - There is no other option thanks to the annoying Windows 7 Operating System - I transferred a huge file and then added it the usual way onto itunes and it worked.
    10) Open iTunes.   Open Windows Explorer and locate the folder where your music resides.   Drag the folder of music into the iTunes window area where the albums are listed.   I just dragged it around in the iTunes window until the red circle with a slash turned into "+Copy".   Let go of the mouse.   The music is playing as I type!   Closed iTunes, reopened, it is still there!
    So, now that thats out of the way, I went ot other sites and dont think any other options were given but if they were i tried them. Ive tried all of these things in different combinations too. Unlike some other people though, the songs never showed up in recently added and they wouldnt play when I clicked play using itunes. I've transfered music before for my parents from windows media player to Itunes when they got ipods and from one computers itunes to another. Can't figure out why I can't get this to work from this windows media player to new itunes. Its Not all the music though, only select songs, which seem to be the same as the songs in the SAME ALBUM that did work.

    OK, I got the same problem, and tried all the solutions here, none of them works.
    Then I tried everything by myself, and finally, I made it!
    I just selected "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library", it works!
    It was unselected before, and iTunes 11 keeps the old settings.
    If you are in the same case, don't miss this setting!

  • TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

    I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

    It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.

  • I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    The best solution:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    An alternative which is really not what you should have to do, or the way it is intended to be done, if you properly manage your computer and backups:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above).  For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod.

  • A song I purchased on iTunes has dropped out from my iPhone - but it still shows purchased in iTunes...but it won't let me download it again.

    A song I purchased on iTunes has dropped out from my iPhone - but it still shows purchased in iTunes...but it won't let me download it again.
    Any ideas?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes

    Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes. Please help.

    All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
    If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
    If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • IPod Touch 5th gen won't let me put songs on it?

    Soo I bought a new iPod the other day and I tried downloading my purchased songs onto it from the iTunes on it and it said they were downloading....but when I go to my music nothing is there. I have tried doing it at least five times and nothing shows up. It also won't let me put songs from my iTunes on the computer on it. It just doesn't show up on my iPod. When I go on iTunes and plug in my iPod it says I have like over 400 songs on it...but like I said, when I go to music on my iPod...there's nothing. Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • New MBP and Time Machine won't let me search out my NAS to save too. Any ideas?

    When trying to set up time machine and using a NAS drive in my wireless network Time Machine won't let me search and select the storage device. I can access the storage and save/retrieve files so I can see and use it. Anyone got any ideas please?
    Brand New MBP running Mavericks.

    I'm having the same issue with Mavericks - and it appears to be Mavericks specific. I don't have this problem with Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion can see both of my NAS drives.
    Additionally, with Mavericks Time Machine won't see your backup properly. It may only see the most recent backup. Though in my case it wouldn't load either one (I had two on different drives). To recover some files I had to use a machine running Mountain Lion to mount a backup file then I was able to extract the files to a USB drive, which I then moved to the Mavericks machine.
    I've tried using terminal to run tmutil commands without luck. I have mounted the volume I want to use - it shows when I do "ls -l /Volumes". Then when I do sudo tmutil setdestination /Volumes/VOLUMENAME the system seems to go into an infinite loop. I have to ^c to get back to terminal.
    Clearly with Time Machine on Mavericke Apple has really screwed the pooch.

  • With maverick Mail won't let me search at all. Anyone able to help?

    With my new powerbook came Maverick. Now mail won't let me search at all. Can anyone help me solve this please?

    I have exactly the same problem. I received an important mail just two days ago and search doesn't even find it. Flagged mail no longer works either, so it's nigh on impossible for me to find my mails to respond to later. It's accurate to say that to me, in general Mavericks Mail.app is no longer a useful mail tool since it utterly breaks my mark-for-later-response workflow.
    What's worse is that this is a massive regression. This all used to work fine. It's somewhat upsetting that I can use my four-year-old Apple laptop to effectively use email and yet my brand new one is useless. With "progress" like this, how can Apple expect brand loyalty?
    EDIT: In case any Apple people read this, I am using a Google Apps mail account.

  • ITunes to 11.1.3 won't let me synchronize all my songs

    Hi there,
    I just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3, and it won't let me synchronize all my songs, during the process, the sync is cancelled and only 400 songs are synced. What can I do to fix it?
    I've been formatting my iPhone 4 over and over again, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. At the same time, it adds used Go to the Other section on the space bar. I am really depressed right now. Please help me =S

    NEVER MIND! Thay added an Updates button towards the top under the window. Why do they do this stuff? Everyone gets used to a location and they pull something like this. Leave it alone unless it has to be changed.
