Music Searches in iTunes...

Is there a way to find your music searches in itunes on your iphone 5?

Not quite sure what you mean by that. Can provide a little more detail?

Is it possible to always limit searches to iTunes Plus music?

I can't find a way to do this, but I may be doing something dumb. Is there a global setting in iTunes to say "Only ever show me music released as iTunes+ tracks?" (i.e. un-DRM-ed AAC)
Alternatively, is there a way to add a "Kind" field to iTunes music, so you can see which files are Protected AAC and which aren't?
Right now, I can't see any way to know, when I see a Buy button, what format I'd be buying...

If you use Power search, you can search only for iTunes Plus songs but that is not a preference for simply browsing thru the store.
I haven't looked since they announced the new deal so don't know if it's changed but previously, iTunes Plus songs had a Plus + sign next to the Buy button.

Why i cannot search any music on my itunes? is it necessary to register and pay an annual fee in order to usa the itunes in your ipad?

To search your music library on your iPad, use the music icon. The I tunes button takes you to the store where you can buy more music or videos. To play your won music etc you do not need to be connected to apple, the music is on your pad.
If you want to get new stuff from iTunes, and load it onto your pad, you need an account. Your account is your apple id.

IPod touch will no longer sync with my music library on iTunes since restoring to factory settings

I had to restore the ipod when it locked my son out as he'd forgotten the passcode.
I have around 1000 songs in my music library on itunes. Sync all songs is checked, but it saying there are 0 songs.
I'd like to sync all songs to the ipod. Can anyone help please?

Syncing is iTunes keeping your iTunes library (or a defined portion of the iTunes library) "in sync" (the same as) the library on your iPod. And iTunes syncing of content generally goes in one direction only, from iTunes library on computer to the iPod. That's why, if you want to sync it to a NEW iTunes library, iTunes is warning you that the existing library on the iPod will be replaced.
So, you cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library. Once your iTunes library is consolidated with ALL of your songs, you can sync your iPod to it.
NOTE: If you have songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store on the iPod, you can re-download them at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.

HT1386 How do I transfer all the music from an iTunes library on a PC to on another iTunes library on a Mac, with being able to keep both libraries of music?

A year and a half ago I purchased an iPhone 4s and created a substantial library of music in the iTunes account on my PC. Just recently, I purchased a Macbook Pro w/ Retina and am just getting around to syncing the newer iTunes library on my iPhone. However, when I did, iTunes deleted all the songs that I had previously on my first iTunes library.
I still have access to all the other songs on the previous iTunes library, but how can I add both libraries to my iPhone without losing any music?
I've been searching for about three hours on ways to do this and I've come up with nothing.

Hi davidforner!

HT4527 how do I transfer music from my itunes account on my PC to my ipad device?

Urgent! Leaving in the morning to visit my daughter out of state. I am trying to synch and transfer selected music from my PC on my itunes account on to her new iPad. My music in my itunes account is not in icloud. I have selected a playlist to transfer but can't find out how to transfer. I googled it and the search answer said to click the device's name in the itunes source window and then click on "summary" but I can't locate the source window or summary? Please help.

Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you don't have the sidebar showing then control-S should get it to appear), then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen select the Music tab :
And use that to select and sync the music that you want on your iPad's Music app - there should be a Sync or Apply button at the bottom right of that screen.
Syncing media : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351 (this page describes how to sync when you don't have the sidebar showing, but the principles should be similar)

Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my orders from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.

Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my purchases from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.
And I've already tried to search for downloadable purchases.
So fact is established, I've purchased this album before but iTunes does not recognize it.
What to do?

Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town. I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album. They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing. Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there. So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it! I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.

HT1391 All the music in my itunes library has vanished apart from the purchased items? why has this happened and where has it gone? It is no longer on my iphone or on my computer??

All my music in my itunes library has vanished apart from the purchased items! It is not in the music > itunes > itunes media folder, I've searched the entire system for mp3 and nothing. Why has this happened and where has it all gone?

I try to search in itunes store and keep getting a runtime error R6025 - help!

I keep trying to search for music in the itunes store and I get runtime error R6025 then itunes shuts down. Help!

Link for the previous fix:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
Just an update that I did get the error once after the fix but now seems to have gone away completely. All I did after the error recurred was to add a new desktop shortcut and run as administrator. I then deleted the shortcut and went back to my usual quick access icon in the taskbar.
Hope this helps.

Using music library in iTunes to create ringtones?

Is there a way to use music from my iTunes library to make my own ringtones? If found an article on About.com and also through an earlier Community discussion from several months ago, but couldn't get it to work. Also, the articles refer to using Windows Explorer in one of the steps, so maybe instructions for Windows based PC users. I'm using a Mac with iTunes 10.5.2 and OS X 10.5.8.

Thanks, this was great. Also did some more searching and found this site, slightly different steps than the Cnet video you pointed out but also worked for me.

Search on iTunes appearing blank

Since upgrading to ios7 on my iPhone 4s I am unable to search for music in the iTunes Store. My screen appears blank. Please can you advice how to solve this?

There is no Power Search any more, if that's what you're referring to. The search box at the upper-right is the only search now.
Regards.

What happened to the power search in itunes?

What happened to the power search in itunes?

Why? Indeed, is a very good question. Why take the most useful tool for finding music and bury it (in the case of version 10) or eliminate it (if you upgrade to version 11). I think ignorance is too generous an answer to this question.
Rather, I believe this is a cynical marketing ploy to steer you into buying WHAT THEY SUGGEST, instead of WHAT YOU REALLY WANT. Most vendors would be content to just advertise their suggestions, which you can pass by if you really know what you want. But for I-Tunes to willfully take away your ability to go directly to what you want is a sad insult to the buying public.
Also, they probably feel that power search is too effective in revealing what I-Tunes DOESN'T have available.
By all means, follow the advice given above - provide I-Tunes with the feedback that is sorely due.

Cant Drag Music files into iTunes

Hi there,
I have been using iTunes for ages with out any problems but from yesterday I have found that I cant drag music files from a folder (My Music etc)into iTunes library or straight to my iPod.
I can still use the "add file or folder" to library commands which work fine but I just cant drag files into iTunes like I used to. When I try I just get the circle with a line through it. The music files I am trying to drag are in the right format and I have even tried some files with are already on my iPod.
Also I use winamp as my default player. When I double click on any music files in a folder winamp will open but does not play the file. I can still select "play file" from winamp and browse for the track I want to play. That works fine.
So the same kind of thing is happening for both iTunes and winamp. I have searched for answers but still cant fix it. I have uninstalled and installed both iTunes and winamp. I remember having a problem like this before a long time ago but cant remember how to fix it.
Its driving me insane!

Are you just looking through the main library?
My videos never show up under the main library anymore.
They just show up under the movie or tv show headers.

I appear to have duplicate music in my iTunes

How do I get rid of duplicate music from my iTunes library, I appear to have almost twice as much music taking up storage, when I ask iTunes to show duplicates there is a massive list revealed. How does this happen and how can I delete them.

You can't transfer songs from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store (you can also re-download them using the iTunes Store Purchased screen). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer, drag the files (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window, to add them to the iTunes library.

How to temporarily store music files outside iTunes ?

I have been searching and toying but don't seem to find "the" solution.
my 40 Gb iTunes library resides on an external drive which is running out of space and would like to keep it that size as it is the size of my iPod.
How can I remove say the whole several Gb "Classical Music" content of iTunes and store it to a different location but keep it with its structure in order to be able to re-incorporate it into iTunes later on.
My question I guess would boil down to "how to remove chunks of iTunes" in their format to rotate those chunks back and forth always keeping iTunes max load to the size of the iPod ?
many thanks for reading me and happy new year to you all
jacques

Many thanks dwb and Matt
I wanted to avoid just that.
I have been experimenting several ways to remove (mouse draging) the files to other location (like the hard drive of my eMac which has spare room) and re-inserting those files back into iTunes either via Finder, via Import function of iTunes, via drop onto the iTunes Library ..etc.. no luck to have the the structure kept and iTunes able to "see" again those files,
hence my post here
I was hoping there was a way-
However thank you for pointing to the "Playlists" which I have never needed. I am taking with great interest your advice to get familiar with their use.
So from what you are saying you can turn "on" and "off" blocs of your library that way and only feed to hungry iPod what you need.
cool
incidentally I don't know why my count of posts has dropped to 1 when I have been around here for years.
Many thanks again
cheers
