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?

After Annotation PDF on Preview, lost search function and some words are replaced by weird characters

This is the original
The next one is what it look after I highlighted few sentences.
Apparrently, the search function lost as well

I am not familiar with Skim, but I use Adobe Reader all the time and it is quite fast on my Mac mini. Perhaps not as fast as Preview but still quite acceptable. If it is running that slow on your Mac I would suspect either you are low on RAM or perhaps the file you are reading is ill-formed. Are these problems occurring on more than one PDF from more than one original source? Do all PDFs scroll slowly or just some?

Lost search function?

I don't know if I am just too tired, but I don't see any search functionality like I used to on the forums. The search box on the upper right next to the support button only returns apple stuff, not forum posts. Let me know if I am missing something....

Its a temporary thing. Along with user levels it will resume function later on, though Apple didn't provide a time as to when they will be back.

The search function and up next option on mini player has dissapeared?

I don't know what I've clicked, or maybe not touched anything but in the last few weeks the search function and up next playlist has disappeared on the mini player. I'm using OS Mavericks, anyone else having this problem or know what to do? Thanks

With the exception of the occasional Russian and German questions that appear here... If the manual is written in English, and the questions posted here are predominantly written in English, I'm not convinced that language is therefore the problem.
I think it kind of works like this... When newbs come here, they:
1) have no prior experience to realize how often a similar question's been posted
2a) aren't familiar with the "etiquette" of searching for similar questions befor posting
2b) aren't familiar the lameness of the search engine on this forum in order to even get answers; or, they've tried it and come up with years' worth of posts to sift through and quickly move to...
3) ...posting a question because they want a quick fix -- they're probably excited about getting up and running quickly with Logic
I have always had problems with the readability of the Logic manual, and I still find it difficult to comprehend because it's really poorly written (IMO). Most, sentences in, it read, like, this. And there's a wont of illustrations (pictures are worth...).
I think some questions are so basic that they don't behoove a response moreso than "spend some time with the manual first". Occasionally I've indulged a total newb (not to single anyone out). It's maybe 75/25 that I felt like I had actually made a difference to their understanding, the poor ratio due to the fact that they simply needed to read the manual first.
Yes, it's frustrating to see newb posts dominate for a while and push more serious questions to the bottom. The occasional OT post is OK, IMO, but what bugs me more is when they predominate.
BTW, can anyone recommend some good strings for a 3-string backpack-style dulcimer?

ITunes 9 Mini-Player and search option

Before I downloaded iTunes 9 and was running all my music through iTunes 8, I was able to search for keywords and that became the playlist. I switched to Mini-Player and it continued endlessly through this selected search. I am not able to do that with iTunes 9, I search for songs, switch to Mini-Player and the search somehow escapes itself and starts playing my whole Music listing of songs.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I have this issue, both on my computer, and on my girlfriend's Macbook Pro. Prior versions of iTunes would constrain its Shuffle to within my search results when using the Search function in the upper right corner of iTunes. 9.x basically ignores the search results, and shuffles within my entire library. There doesn't seem to be any way to fix it, as there are very limited "shuffle" options in the Controls menu.

Updated iMovie on my brand new mac mini and lost "SPEED" function.

Updated iMovie on my brand new Mac Mini and lost "SPEED" function.

Hello bbryson68, I'm sure you've just over-looked it.
The answer is to click on Adjust above the Clip in Viewer, this will bring into view a adjustments bar also above the Clip.
Now you just have to select the speed via the Turtle icon. Once the clip has been speed-up or down, you'll get a Slider
over the clip in question & a Rabbit icon indicating the clip has been speed-up.
If you want to keep audio undistorted check the Preserve Pitch checkbox above the viewer.
The Clip Slider & icon of Rabbit appear in the Clip-Trimer window below the main Clip, also check your Pref's to see if you have
Apply Slow Motion checked? This will slow or speed up all other clips to the first clip.

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 search PDF's with iTunes mini player search?

I have been storeing PDF's in iTunes books becuase its so simple to use. The new mini player in iTunes 11 mini player is amazing and provides some very nice looking searchs.
However I can't search PDF's via the mini player. Does anyone know how to make this work on a windows install of iTunes?
Thanks

I've had the same problem as first posted. Tried the suggested solutions and none of them worked. I finally have found somethng that does work.
In iTunes v.11.0.1.12, I needed to get to the following screen before DELETE would work:
In the uppper LEFT corner select Books.
Then highlight/select the PDF file you wish to delete, and right click to get the menu to pop up.
Now, select DELETE from the menu.

Search Disappears from Menu (after expanding Mini Player)

Hi there I'm on Android 4.3 mobile using Spotify version 3.1.0.1113. The Search option disappears from the main top left menu every time I use the app. I have narrowed it down to happening right after expanding the mini-player from the bottom of the screen. I can open the app and use it normally, but once I click the new mini-player (the new version that allows swiping to change songs) to bring up the main player screen, Search will disappear from the top left menu, leaving just Browse/Activity/Radio/etc. I can bring back Search by closing the app and reopening it. I have tried other 3.1 versions, including Betas, and this always happens. Any ideas? Thanks

After you search for the artist, *Ctrl click* the arrow after the artist name to see all items by that artist in yoru library, then play and open the mini player.
Better yet, instead of search, simply turn on the browser (iTunes menu View -> Column browser) then select the Artist to see everything by that artist.

8.1 Mini Player drops searches

Just upgraded to 8.1 for windows. When I do a basic search in my music library (say for an artist) and then start playing and put iTunes in Mini Player mode, after a couple of tracks, it drops the search. It especially does this when I jump back out of mini player.
Anyone else see this? Any way to downgrade?

Same issue here. I know I've done this in the past without issue so it must be an 8.1 issue.
I can do a search in the library, play with shuffle on and press "next" hundreds of times never leaving the search results. But after switching to mini mode and pressing "next" only a few times iTunes plays random songs from the library which no longer fit under the searched term(s). After restoring the iTunes window I can see that the search field has been cleared.
Hope they fix this in an update soon.

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

Mini Player Clears Search Results

If I perform a search in iTunes (e.g. for an artist), and then switch to the mini player, iTunes will continue to play music only from my search results.
If I press the Next or Previous buttons on the Mini Player, the first time I press the button, the song will also be from the search results. Each press after that (or if I allow iTunes to finish the track) will bring songs NOT from the search results, but from my whole library.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does any one know a way to resolve the issue?

After you search for the artist, *Ctrl click* the arrow after the artist name to see all items by that artist in yoru library, then play and open the mini player.
Better yet, instead of search, simply turn on the browser (iTunes menu View -> Column browser) then select the Artist to see everything by that artist.

With installation of 10.1 I lost finder search function. The finder window appears, but no matter what I put in the search window, nothing is found. I re-installed it with initial success, but it failed again very soon.

After the most recent firefox update I lost the search function in hotmail

After the most recent upgrade for Firefox the search function in my Hotmail account no longer works. When I try to search through my email for a specific item, I get a message, "It looks like there's a problem with Windows Live Hotmail right now. It should be fixed soon, so please try again in a few minutes. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Also, when I load up my Hotmail account it pretty much seems to take over my browser. If I follow a link from an email to another website, I will often be pulled back to Hotmail...with or without a "hang" and I will get the "Warning: Unresponsive Script" message. It appears to be related to the ad bar that runs on the right side of the Hotmail page. It gets worse if I have more than two tabs open.
I have a similar experience with Facebook. It will often pull me back if I go to another tab. The "Warning: Unresponsive Script" message will come up. often after a considerable "hang" delay. This also can happen if I am participating in a thread. Often, when I am typing it will hang, sometimes for several minutes before my cursor resumes functionality. It can take a very long time to complete even one paragraph.

Search function lost in new itunes Store

You used to be able to search podcasts and get lists that you could rank by popularity. The search function has been severely reduced in the newest itunes store.
Now all you can get is thumbnails with no details.

I'll echo this. Look up Classical Music, anything there is nigh impossible to find. Telling me that a song is "symphony no. 9 movem...." is useless. I don't care, I know that. What I want to see is the movement. But I can't. Or how about dance remixes? I know the name of the song, I'd like to be able to see the actual remix name.
On top of that, you can't even choose what you want to view by. If I am searching for all the U2 songs, I don't need to see that the artist is U2. I'd much rather use that space for more productive things.
I simply cannot understand who at Apple thought this was a "better" user interface. Sacrificing user operability for a "spiffy" new makeover is not what I would expect from Apple.
