ITunes forgetting or erasin text in search field when in mini-player modus

Hi,
there has been an annoying bug in iTunes since version 8 where iTunes doesn't seem to remember the text typed in the search field when it's in mini-player modus.
Concrete example:
I type in the search field The Beatles. I get the list with all music from The Beatles. I start playing the music, put iTunes in mini-player modus via the green plus sign.
Before iTunes 8 this gave me the chance of selecting which album or artist or song I wanted to hear, without needing to make a seperate playlist for it.
But I still see which song is playing in the mini-player.
Now, since iTunes 8 after a couple of songs in the mini-player it just plays other music as well. If I enlarge the player again, I see that the text in the search field is just gone.
I don't want to make seperate playlist every time I just want to hear this or that artist or album, and this worked fine untill iTunes 8.
I'm not the only one with the problem (after a check on a Mac-forum in Belgium). But after 2 bug reports to Apple and a couple of updates (now iTunes 8.2) the bugg is still there.
Does anyone know if there is any way to get this back? (Terminal commando or something, don't know...)
Thanks and Best Regards,

Your solution is fine if you're browsing. But if you're playing back specific material that does not fit into that filter, then you're up the creek.
Very annoying bug for my workflow for sure >=[

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query

How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query?
I am running a select statement on a table that appears to have ASCII text in some of the fields. If I use these fields in the where statement like the code below nothing returns:
SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FIELD1 IS NULL
But the field looks empty if I do a straight select without the where clause. Additionally, one of the fields has text but appears to be padded out with ASCII text, which I need to strip out before I can use this field in a where or join statement. I have tried using a trim, ltrim, rtrim, to_char, nvl, decode and nothing works. When I use excel to run the same query it looks as if these ASCII fields are boxes.
I have asked our DBA team to see what they can do to prevent these from going into the table, but in the mean time I still need to run this report.
Do you have any suggestions?

Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
'X') from dual" with no luck.
Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

Adobe Help CS5: Text In Search Field Hard To Read

I'm using Local Help. In the Search field, letters are way too close and very hard to read. There seems to be no anti-aliasing either. Is it possible that some font be missing in either my Photoshop Installation or in my System (OX 10.6.3)?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Roger: I apologize for the poor text rendering. We are updating the app with a fix -- this should be resolved when the engineering team migrates the app to Flex 4/AIR 2 (coming soon!).
Hello Mark!
If I may, the fact that people like you take the time to answer questions like this does more for Adobe's reputation than anything else. Thank you. I will be waiting for this fix. After all this new Help app is way better than what we had before, as it allows us to use either Local help (way faster and practical) or the web (more complete, when we're stuck). So this is a step forward, I just found strange that Adobe had this problem in that field. I imagine that this bug sneaked by unnoticed...
So thank you once again. If I had a suggestion, it would be to make the process of finding and downloading Local help a bit easier and more transparent.

Missing Search Field when using 3.1 Create App Wizard ?

Hi
2 points which look like bugs to me;
1 - In all previous versions whenever I used the create app wizard to build up a list of pages, reports always included the 'search across any varchar field' funtionality. This seems to have disappeared when using the Classic form of reports. It is obviously there if you use an Interactive report.
2 - Again when using the Create App wizard, if I use the Classic form (in order to be able to also 'Generate Analysis Pages') these do get built, but not linked in any way (tab, list region, button etc) to any other pages. I can link them myself, but I am demonstrating APEX here and it doesn't look so good....
Can someone just quickly confirm I am not going mad here ?
Jules

Hi Jules,
You're not going mad! I've reviewed the behaviour of the Search field and the Analysis Pages link using releases 3.0.1 and 3.1.1, and there is a difference in behaviour between the two versions.
Classic Reports generated via the Create Application Wizard in 3.1.1 should have a Search text field above the report region, however this field is missing. I've logged bug 7185486 for this issue. Classic Report&Forms generated via the Create Application Wizard, with the "Include Analysis Pages" option selected, are missing a link to the Analysis pages in 3.1.1. I've logged bug 7185486 for this issue. I've updated both bugs with a workaround. A fix for these issues will be available in a future release. Thanks for bringing these two issues to our attention.
Regards,
Hilary

Focus search field when open Presets and Effects panel

Hi Adobe-Forum.
I like to get the cursor automatically placed into the search-field of the preset and effects panel.
Exists a shortcut or an option for that?
It’s annoying to use the mouse to get into this field by hand.
Thank you for your help!
Cheers
Brian

I was mistaken. Every time I go to that panel I click in the search field. I don't recall ever clicking in the panel first then the search field. It was not until I tried it buy clicking outside the search field that I discovered the problem.
It looks like there is no way to make it automatically focus when selecting the panel with a keyboard shortcut. Might be time for a feature request.
For most of my effects I add them in the ECP (Effects control Panel and then type the first letter of the category, right arrow, then the first letter of the effect. This works for me because I know where just about all of them are from experience. If I do have to search I simply click directly in the search field.

Full iTunes window pops open when in mini-player mode?

Hi
I've noticed with the most recent version of iTunes in mini-player mode on my iMac, when I hover my mouse pointer downwards towards the dock, the full window springs open.
I'm not hovering near the iTunes icon, and the pointer doesn't hit the mini-player, so not sure why this is happening? No big issue, but it is pretty annoying! It's bit random, but seems to happen mainly with that downward motion of the mouse pointer.
Anyone else noticed this?? I'm on iTunes 11.0.4, OSX 10.6.8 on an iMac.
Thanks!
Ben

Judy, I searched around and found the post I pasted below; you can use your Spotlight searcher and see if you have the Quartz Composer Visualizer plugin in my 'internet plugins' in the library folder.

{{Thanks Limnos.
I had Repaired Permissions and Backed Up, not resorted to external booting.

When I click on itunes to open it up, all I get is the mini player......

when I click on the box to expand mini-player, it says there is an error and disappears. If I hit the play button, it starts at the top of my list, but I have no access to the library or the playlists.
I originally downloaded itunes, and everything worked fine for a week or so. than this problem showed up. I un-installed itunes, quicktime...everything that came with the download, and re-downloaded the software, all to no avail. Still the same problem.
I presume this is an issue with my computer, and not the software. I called apple support, and they were NO help at all.
does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong?

I also had issues with my 4S. I just got the 5S and can't get it to read my phone. It did it once and I was able to download my music, but can't get my ringtones and i have 25 ringtones that I can no longer get to after paying for them!!! Please HELP. It no longer sees my phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled I Tunes mltiple times.
Thanks,

Was it really necessary to post the whole API description?!?
Locale[] locales = Locale.ENGLISH();ENGLISH is not a method in class Locale, so do not add the braces "( );".
Also, the constant ENGLISH is not an array, but just a single Locale object.
You didn't say what your problem was. What do you want to achieve with your program and what is it that you don't understand?

My family of four (2 iPhones, 2 iPods) all share the same iTunes account. Many text messages sent to or from mine or my husband's phones are also received on my daughter's iPod, and vice versa. How do I fix this?

How can I keep text messages sent from my or husband's phone from being received on daughter's iPod, and vice versa? We have five devices on one iTunes account - 2 iPhones, 2 iPods and an iPad.

Hello Hrd1977,
This is typically caused by both devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your daughter's device. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Then sign in with the desired Apple ID.

Can I set up a form so that there is text in the fields when the user opens the file?

My client is interested in supplying schedules of activities in a PDF, and would like it so that a person can use what's in the document, or replace their own information in place of what's supplied.
I've set up forms for filling in blanks, but I've not seen if some text can be left in the fields to start with. For example, leaving a "your name" text line in a field where the user clicks on that phrase and it disappears (like you see in a number of forms on web pages).
Is this possible with Acrobat? If not, we'll probably have to go to a Word based solution, but I'd get better design if I do it in InDesign and add this functionality to a PDF.

George,
Thanks for keeping track of the discussion. I appreciate that you've taken the time to help me. My clients love the fact they can create these curriculum schedules with editable blocks that will allow the original info to return if the block is emptied. Now they'd like book titles italicized.
I downloaded the Javascript reference PDF and found the "richValue" information, but I'm not grasping the concept of how to add it to my page. I'm not Javascript-literate, so I'm more inclined to add HTML tags or something like
and to make something italic.
Here is the example they gave:
Example
Turn all bold text into red underlined text.
// Custom format event for a rich text field.
var spans = event.richValue;
for ( var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++ )
if( spans[i].fontWeight >= 700 )
spans[i].textColor = color.red;
spans[i].fontWeight = 400; // change to default weight
spans[i].underline = true;
event.richValue = spans;
I think I understand the 400 and 700 numbers as font weights, and that "underline" could be replaced with "italic". So I'm trying to figure out what I would need to write in order to make specific words italic in a block of text in the example you provided:
// If field is blank, display this text
if (!event.value) event.value = "Your name here";
Can a span be ID'd by placing a sort of tag around the words? Like... (pardon my fake Javascript)
// If field is blank, display this text
if (words.are) 'i' then italics = true
if (!event.richValue) event.richValue = "Your 'i'name'i' here";
(You're probably laughing at my attempt here, but I hope my point is made :-) ).

After upgrading to iTunes 9.2, unable to type in text/search fields

Hi,
After upgrading to iTunes 9.2, I am unable to type into text or search fields within iTunes.
Haven't tried all fields, but I've seen it in both search in iTunes and the iTunes store, and also trying to create folders on my iPhone (through iTunes only, it works fine on the phone).
Anyone else seen this or have an idea for a fix?
Thanks...

I'm wondering if you figured out this problem. I'm having the exact same issue, which means I can't even log in to my iTunes account. I've even tried uninstalling it and reverting to iTunes 9.1.1, which then won't even open.

Controlling within mini-player clears search field - annoying bug

I've come across this annoying (repeatable) bug with iTunes 9... when I listen to music, I like to put an artist's name in the search field, then just let it play on shuffle from those search results. Typically no big deal, however, if I switch to the mini-player, then use any of the controls (play, forward, back) on the mini-player, the search field gets cleared out and it's just playing through the entire library. It's annoying to have to re-enter what was in the search field when it clears like this.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to fix it? So far I'm just being careful not to touch the controls in the mini-player while listening to a selection narrowed down from the library with the search field.

As a work-around, there is a freeware program that allows full iTunes control from the OS X menu bar which will avoid the need for using the mini player. You can close the iTunes window while leaving the program running and your search will remain intact. Get it here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/youcontroltunes.html

Lost search function on mini player

i've lost my search funtion on my mini player, along with what's playing next playlist, any suggestions? Thanks

Click the Loupe icon to show the search field, and the list icon to show "Up next", or use the command "Show up Next" from the "View" menu.
Are these icons missing in your Mini Player?
