ITunes, App Store and Bing results in Spotlight Search?

Hi there
iOS 8 was supposed to bring new levels of richness to Spotlight search results on iOS, including iTunes, App Store and Bing results (amongst others?). But none of my iOS 8 devices are showing me these results in Spotlight searches. I'm looking at an iPad Mini with Retina Display, iPhone 5, iPhone 6 and an iPad Air here, none of which are showing results any different to iOS 7.
What gives here? Are these features limited to certain geographic locations? I'm in Denmark, for what it's worth.

Hi drdaz,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Please refer to the attached weblink for information on the changes to Spotlight search in iOS 8. 
Apple - iOS 8 - Spotlight
Have a great day,
Joe

    HELP! while in France i downloaded the new iPhone iOS 6. When asked to choose a location ( for maps to know what to do) i made the wrong choice and clicked on local, hence France. This scewed up my US iTunes account as well as apps store. . . so ican no longer acces it or download updates. . . it crerated more havoc that ican bare as in iTunes being located in France and in Euros. OUCH. i thought to restore iPhone to factory default. Will that do it or create more problem. (don't want to wtach US movies in French!!!)
    My question reall is how can i swithed back my location to USA. . .
    thanks for your help, out there.

    If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down .  In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo.  Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want

  • Hi.  I just upgraded to the IPhone 5.  I am connected to wifi but I am still unable to access ITunes, App Store and Safari.  I have tried helpful tips but nothing is working.  Any suggestions?  I have also done the sync to Wifi.  Thanks

    What happens when you try?  Do you get an error message.
    disconnect from the wifi and try on cellular data, if you can access the apps, then the problems lies with your router.

  • TS3297 Even after having data connectivity can't open iTunes,app store and iBooks

    Even after having data connectivity can't access iTunes ,app store,iBooks

    I have the same problem. The install seemed to go fine, it rebooted and the only APPLE app I can use is Safari and Itunes, The Mac Apple store freezes, Ibooks, Iphoto etc, all of them just lock up when I open them, even drop down items under the little Apple are frozen. I'm disgusted, any help would be appreciated.

  • Wifi not working with iTunes, apps store and some, but not all Internet sites....why???

    Yesterday I noticed while browsing Internet that some sites would not open and that some games I regularly play would not open. I also found that I could not open either the apps store or iTunes. Everything seemed to be working the day before and I have not recently upgraded ios (been on version 6.1.3 for a while) or changed any settings on my iPad (2).  With Internet research today I found suggestion that if I switched to 3G I would be able to access these apps and,sure enough, under 3G connection everything works fine. Some other forums suggest changing wifi router settings to fix the issue ....I have not tried this as I wouldn't  like to mess with my router and end up effecting other peripherals/pc's connected to it that are working fine....especially when I am not terribly IT savvy when it comes to hardware settings.  But as I haven't changed anything on my ipad why would my wifi suddenly stop connecting to some apps on my iPad, but not all??? Interestingly I can access many Internet sites (forums) with wifi connection but not the apple forum! To get to anything apple related I have to switch back to 3G ....that includes checking the iOS version I am on via settings!
    I also mention that I have done all the other suggested fixes found on various forums, such as rebooting iPad, renewing wifi lease, clearing cookies, closing all apps etc etc, to no avail. Seems the only suggested fix I have not tried is mucking around with my router which I am very hesitant to do given the **** I went through with my telco when my home Internet connection suddenly stopped working last year. Took me weeks of phone calls to get my internet connection back and being forced by the telco to a more expensive plan, hence very reluctant to start mucking around with that side of things, but why should I need to when it does seem to be working ok with other devices in the home?
    I have started this as new discussion as, even though I am not terribly IT savvy,  I cant see how this could be related to the wifi issues that many on the newer devices (iPhone 5 and iPad mini etc) are reporting as I haven't recently upgraded anything on my ipad and all was working perfectly up until yesterday.
    Any other suggestions on how to get wifi working correctly again on iPad or do I really have to risk the working of every other device in my home and chase it from modem/router side?

    Hi there,
    You mentioned that you have tried a few troubleshooting steps already, but you may want to take a look at the article below, specifically the section titled "If you are unable to access the Internet while connected to a Wi-Fi network"

  • ITunes, App Store, and Safari all crash on start up

    So here's the deal. I restored from Time Machine and ever since I did that I have been having trouble with App Store, Safari, And iTunes. When you click on them in the dock they bounce up and down and start up and crash. I have been able to get iTunes working since im a music addict. But if I try to use the iTunes store it just crashes. Even ping will cause it to crash. I was really looking forward to the App Store but I cant seem to use it which is a bummer. I was on the phone with Apple support for almost two hours trying to get iTunes to work and he said the only thing I could do was a system restore. But I saw another question in a discussion that said there were other ways to fix it and a system restore was not Necessary.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I'd first recommend going into Disk Utilities (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) and Repairing Disk Permissions on your internal HD. Then retry. If they still don't work then do both a SMC and PRAM reset using the following instructions:
    *SMC RESET*
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    • On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-• Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    • Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    *PRAM RESET*
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    • Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    • Release the keys.

  • How to remove my payment option on iTunes App Store and iTunes on the iPhone?

    I've had this problem many times and eventually it would just work out after a week or so but I'm tired of that so here's what happens: I use prepaid credit cards for iTunes (I've also used a real credit card and had the same problem) and when they max out or run out of funds it will ask me to verify my payment information. So I sign in and it takes me to the page to update the info I update it to make sure there wasn't just an error and if it says something is wrong I know it's maxed/out of funds. And I'm not allowed to download any apps (including free ones and updates for apps I already own) while this happens. There is no option to remove my payment option, before after about a week of continuously returning to the payment page everytime I try to download/update an app a "none" option will appear below the VISA, MASTERCARD and AMEX credit card type however the option is never there for around the first week and is very frustrating. So how do I get the none option to appear ? Or remove a used/maxed credit/pre paid credit card ?

    iTunes Store: Accepted forms of payment - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552 - "The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use: Credit cards, iTunes Cards,  iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, Store credit (including Allowance Account balances), ClickandBuy, PayPal" - No specific mention of debit cards though older documents no longer on Apple website showed they at least used to be accepted in some countries (not USA).
    For India - http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/in/terms.html#SALE  But it isn't very specific.

    Have you contacted iTunes support ? If not then you can do so via this page (these are user-to-user forums, and I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Cannot connect ipad2 to itunes, apps store and safari???

    I have checked everything i could check so far.
    My service provider told me to change the DNS numbers which i also did.
    My router is working excellent and my laptop is in perfect working condition.
    When i'm at the office my Ipad2 is working fine and connecting to all these apps, but once i'm home i keep getting all these errors and cant download anything.

    If no problem connecting your iPad with any other wi-fi network, the problem lies with your wireless router or network.

  • HT204053 how can i delete a defunct Apple ID from iCloud.  It controls my access to iCloud and I can't change it.  I do have a current Apple ID and Password in iTunes, App Store and everywhere else.

    I have a Mac desk top and and iPad, a current Apple ID and Password and gmail address.  Mac says can't access icloud be cause of a problem with my gmail address.  I click to fix it and it asks for a password for my OLD yahoo account, whick I don't have.  BTW, this is all set up on my iPad but the account is not verified.....round and round she goes!  What can I do next?

    If the old ID (Yahoo address) was an earlier version of your current ID (Gmail address), try recreating your old ID from your new ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  Then enter the password for your current ID when your Mac prompts you for your Yahoo ID.

  • ITunes, app store, iBooks store, etc won't load and I can't figure out why. I tried rebooting and it didn't help. Everything else works fine. Help please?

    iTunes, app store , iBooks store, etc won't load and I don't know why. Everything else works fine, and I've rebooted it. The problem is still there and I know I have a good Internet connection. Help please?

    Have you tried disconnecting and re-connecting to your network ?. And when you say rebooted do you mean a reset ? If not then try that : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try closing those apps completely. From the home screen (i.e. not with any of those apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • App Store Searches vs. iTunes App Store searches

    Why do searches suck so bad on the App Store and return COMPLETELY different results than searches on the iTunes App store? Not only that, they don't even return a tenth of the apps available!

    hmm, so the mac app store is different than the itunes app store and not synced with each other? that explains a lot, thank you!
    maybe they should name it something different?
    or explain better that it has nothing to do with iTunes App Store, and that these apps are not for any ipod/itouch/ipad device, and strictly for the computer?
    Confusing at first, but now that you've explained it, I get it.

  • I can't sign in to my app store and my language is Chinese how can I change it to English?

    Cant sign in to my app store and how can I change my app language

    You can log out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap 'sign out' on the popup - you can then sign in with your account/
    If you synced any of your mum's apps to the iPad from your her computer then they will be tied to her account, so only her account will be able to download updates to her apps
