ITunes Store Search Results Not Showing Up

Unable to see the search results in the iTunes App Store.
I'm using iTunes v10.6.3. Whenever I type in my search criteria, all I get is a black box underneath my search bar (see photograph, top right). Using my cursor, all I get when going down inside the black box area is horizontal white bars with no text.
All I have installed to change the appearance of iTunes is the iTunes Button changer and the Crystal Black theme.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have had this problem occurring in the last couple of updates. I cannot remember exactly when it first happened.

FollowUp - Problem Solved.
Just in case anyone else was experiencing the same issues, I pinpointed it down to a corrupted iTunes preference file - com.apple.iTunes.plist.
I created a new user account, lauched iTunes and it worked fine, no black drop down window appearing, so I went back into my account and deleted this and relaunched iTunes and the drop down window showed all the search results again, not the black window as seen in my example image.
Hope this helps others!

  • Podcast Search results not showing all episodes

    I'm new to podcasting & our podcast isn't showing up properly.
    When you look at our podcast in the search results, only one episode shows up.
    There are three episodes total, but they show up only if you subscribe to the podcast.
    Is there a way for the search results to show all of our episodes?
    Our iTunes link is http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hills-fellowship/id448179201
    Our RSS feed is http://sermon.net/rss/client/thehillsfellowship
    Please help if you can!
    Also, they were uploaded last week...so it's been enough time for them to be processed & show up.

    I'm afraid I can't give you a comforting answer.
    The feed at the URL you quote contains the tag
    <itunes:new-feed-url>http://sermon.net/rss/thehillsfellowship/main</itunes:new-feed-url>
    so the feed iTunes is now using is
    http://sermon.net/rss/thehillsfellowship/main
    and that is the one you should be updating - though in fact they are almost identical and it's possible that the method you are using updates them both.
    The feed at http://sermon.net/rss/thehillsfellowship/main is valid and I can't see anything wrong with it. As you say, it can be subscribed to and shows all three episodes: but the Store page (and thus the search results) show only the first episode.
    The Store should have updated by now: it's not unknown for the Store to get stuck and fail to update for several weeks: usually it eventually updates and I have no idea why it does this. It doesn't happen often, but I have seen the occasional complaint.
    However there is another issue which may be relevant: although the date of the latest episode is July 17th, the feed was updated today:
    <lastBuildDate>Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:11:23 GMT</lastBuildDate>
    <pubDate>Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:11:23 GMT</pubDate>
    This raises the possibility that there was something wrong with the feed before (hence the failure to update) but that whatever you've done today cleared it. That would indeed result in the three episodes showing on subscribing but not in the Store - it would take a couple of days or so to catch up.
    If that is the case the Store should update in a day or two. If not, then it might update at some future date or it might not: I can't explain that.
    I should at least give it two or three days and see what happens. Check the Store page using the link you gave, not the Search results as these often lag behind.
    If you don't get a result after several days you could try iTunes Support, but I have to tell you that they don't have a good record for helpfulness and the chances are you won't get anywhere with them.  Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • Why are the podcast search results not showing in iTunes?

    I've been trying to search for some podcasts, and my results don't show up in iTunes. I've tried on my Mountain Lion MBP, and on my Windows 8 Laptop. Same effect happens. Is there something going on with search results in iTunes?

  • Search results not showing book

    I am having great difficulty in getting a book to show up when searching in iTunes. (this is not a back-door way of promotion!)
    Can you help me regarding metadata? This particular book (called Why They Win) has the words 'bridge', 'bidding', 'play' and several other keywords in the description. I thought the words in the description were used to help build search terms. However if these words either singly or in combination are used in the iTunes search box the book never shows up in the search results. What do I have to do to make it appear in search results without typing in the actual title or author which obviously most people will not know in advance?

    It's not compatible with iPhones (nor iPod Touches) - from the book's description page in the store :
    This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iPad, and with iTunes on your computer. Multi-touch books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iPad. Books with interactive features may work best on an iPad. iBooks on your Mac requires OS X 10.9 or later.
    Requirements: To view this book, you must have an iPad with iBooks 3 or later and iOS 5.1 or later, or a Mac with iBooks 1.0 or later and OS X 10.9 or later.
    Did you create the book with iBooks Author ?

  • Search results not showing certain apps in appstore!!??

    Hello, When I search for a certain app/game in the app store on my ipad, it does not come up in the results..
    Have encountered this several times so far, who knows how long it has been like this..
    PLEASE help?
    I have done  the simple little obvious things, like closing app store, going back in, signing in and out, soft reset, checking the settings. I contacted customer support but the agent was unable to assist me, said I should call, I hate calling tech support so...
    I would really hate to do a hard reset as I have a lot of stuff on there.. IF as a last resort  I have to, would backing up my ipad in the iTunes store on the computer save my SAVE-GAME data?
    And would a hard reset for sure fix the problem..?
    Thanks in advance.
    US ipad 2, ios 7.0.3

    It could very well be that the app you are searching for on your iPad is one of those that is only compatible with the iPhone.
    For example, I just did an App Store search for an iPad *only* app (iSEM Oberheim synthesizer) that I have installed on all of my iPads...I performed the search on my iPhone 5 and got no results on that particular app...a few other apps came up in the search but they had nothing at all to do with the app in question.
    Another thing to check is if the app is indeed still available in the App Store. To verify, I'd search the App Store in iTunes on the Mac or PC...older apps especially get pulled frequently along with apps that maybe somehow violated a copyright issue or an app that the developer wanted pulled for some reason.
    Also, a reset (as outlined below) won't affect your data if you'd like to try it.
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • I am trying to download previously purchased music from iTunes, it show "purchased" in iTunes Store but does not show up under previous purchase tab

    There are several albums that I've previously purchased that somehow were deleted from my computer &amp; iPad.  When I go to download available purchases on PC it say that all available punches have been downloaded.  When I check iTunes Store it show as "purchased".  When I try to check &amp; download from iCloud via either iPad or PC these items do not show up under items purchased. 
    I can't even re-purchase the item, which I've tried since it shows as purchased in iTunes Store.  This is very troublesome because there is no way for me to access these previous purchases.  I have been using iTunes &amp; various Apple products with the iTunes Store for several years &amp; there is a lot of money invested in these previous purchases, that there is no way for me to access.  As mentioned, I'd even be willing to re-purchase some of these items (though this should be unnecessary).  But, the iTunes Store won't let me, because the items show up as purchased in store, but not on any of my devices!!!
    Help!

    Hey innerev2003,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
    If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

  • How do I sort new iTunes store searched results (ie Popularity)?

    New iTunes Store (Ver. 11.0) will not let me sort search results.
    I'm almost certain this was a feature in older versions of iTunes store but can't get to work in new version.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I too am having this problem. Just searched for a song title which threw up around 300 results - I could always sort those by artist or album or time (this was really useful as I buy a lot of remixes and used to sort by time - just looked first at the longest, often), etc. Additionally I cant  widen the columne so cant see any of the titles fully even. The whole search results page seems completely useless. Classical searches will be a nightmare with hundreds of recordings and seemingly no way of sorting and cant even see the information fully. One thing I have discovered with this awful new ITunes is that after hours of playing around many things are in fact there - just in very odd places or in different (and less user friendly) set up . . . I have also had some fantastic help through these pages - thanks everoone.
    This search result glitch does seem a real mistake surely ? If nothing else it makes me FAR less likley to buy - i cant find anything !  Lets hope I"they" cotton on to that effect and sortsit out . . . .

  • Google adsense search results not showing up

    I have a google adsense search engine that is supposed to search my site and post google ads at the top of the query.
    I copied and pasted the html into iWeb
    The search widget seems fine: http://www.onlinehighschool.org/SchoolSearch.html (the black one)
    But the separate page for results doesn't have anything even though the html was pasted there:
    try a search on the hyperlink to see.
    Any leads?

  • ITunes Store purchase does not show in Music library

    Two songs purchased from iTunes store today.  Download looked OK, new purchases do show in Store>Purchased list.  I added ratings, and songs went to smart playlist for top rated songs.  BUT songs do not appear in Library>Music where all songs are.  Search indicates they do not exist.  It is from this library I drag to other lists.  But without them there I am stumped.  Never seen this before.
    I do use iTunes Match, if that is an issue.

    Same problem here. I found if I type in the song or artist in Search and then hit the Return key, they do show up immediately. Otherwise they only show up with just typing (not hitting the Return key) until the next day. I am wondering if Apple is uploading our database of songs and they do not show up automatically until Apple gives the ok. I do not trust them.

  • SEARCH RESULTS NOT SHOWING THE NAME OF DOCUMENT

    When I search for a document on the top level, the results in my case are relevant but they do not display the document name, meaning I have to go into the document to check if it is the one I'm looking for. For some reason the name of the file is displayed
    in results as the first line of the document. I use a document template for letters meaning that the search results gives as list of documents that all have the same name displayed. This renders the search function almost useless as all the results are showing
    the same name. Is there a way to change the results page to display the name of the document??

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to show search results by document name instead of the Title.
    Here are two links about how to show document name in search results, you can use as a reference:

  • ITunes Store - search results

    Is there a way to view search results in column view?

    Dave,
    You must request inclusion into the iTunes Store under your "Edit Site Settings" link for search results from you site to appear when searching globally in the iTunes Store.
    Right now search results will work if you are in your site.
    It can take a while to get approval for the store, so if you have already requested inclusion please have patience.
    thanks.
