New iTunes search help!: I'd like to just start typing in the upper right search and have the list update like it did in older iTunes versions. Now it has little suggestions of WHAT IM NOT LOOKING FOR!
Remember the days when you were looking for that metallica song... you kind of knew the name... so you start typing it in the search, and that BIG WELL of music would whittle down with every character typed? the search covered titles, artists, genres, ANYTHING that was displaying. I know a lot of folks HATED this dynamic, but let's face it, it worked, and it worked WELL. And Apple's had us all get used to that dynamic for over a DECADE.
I get that times need to move foreward, but they went WAYYYYYYY too far with how the simple search box works now(upper right one) ... The columns of Title, Album, Artist, are still there, but they drastically change the layout and presentation with everything you search for... and newsflash, NOT EVERY SONG BELONGS TO A GENRE OR ALBUM OR ARTIST....
I'm the kind of guy that doesnt allow itunes to attempt to copy eveything into hundreds of folders. I already have it all pretty well organized...Lots of my music are soundbytes that I just had in the main widow of iTunes. Sure they'd be buried in the thousands of other songs, but with a click of a key I could get to it... now iTunes ONLY seems to try searching things that are in albums, genres, labeled so specifically that I would have to take a month off JUST to start catalogging my music the way iTunes wants... Even THEN only showing me a small number of choices in the search bar .... like "Do you want these 4 songs you DIDNT search in the invisible queue next?" "Did you mean all this other sh*t that you DIDNT search for?" **** I used to be able to find almost ANY song with like 3 keystrokes. if I type in "Zelda" ... (looking for that obscure live Zelda acoustic I recorded with my phone that I dont have the band name to) It suggests EVERYTHING else BUT that song... whereas before it would just list the 20 or so ANYTHINGS I have loaded into itunes with that string of letters in it.
Anyone else seem to have this issue? Is the OLD easy to search buried in the furthest preference trenches to TRY to weed out old dogs such as myself, who were able to master the crappy UI iTunes has neglected to give a **** about in the past?
Please try the action I supplied in my post.
If you untick the search Entire library
Then type in your search term it will give the list of songs in the main window

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?
Hi cindy,
If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
Here's what I mean:
If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
Hope that helps,

Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.
I am also having this issue.
I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience! -
Somehow my settings have changed. When I open an email and there is a link, my computer won't allow it, also when I am doing a search, my computer won't allow certain links to open.
What I see is "ALLOW" in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and I have to click on that in order to continue my email or do a search. How did this suddenly happen and how do I change it back to being able to roam the Internet without having to click on ALLOW all the time?
Also, I set up Google as my home page, but it won't list Email or any other options. I have to type in Google in the Google box, then Email appears. How do I get the right Google set up as my home page so I can access Email without jumping through hoops.
Thanking you so much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[email protected]Sign out of the iTunes Store. Sign in again.

It's clear no human has read my question yet, but some computer somewhere has asked for more details.
I don't know what kind of details could make my question clearer - I thought it was verbose to begin with.The question is clear. <br/>
Type <b>about:config</b> and change (double click) either or both of
<pre>browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll
browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll</pre><br/>
But as a user of Firefox on Linux I wouldn't want it to do that. If I already have a URL in there I often want to modify it and that's easy as it is. If I want to type a completely new URL I can double-click it to select the whole thing then just start typing - no need to hit delete. <br/> -
I downloaded 4.0.1 Saturday and have had 10 updates so far, including 5 today. I am now up to 4.0.10.
Since I updated, Firefox keeps locking up while I am using it. It is now locking during the updates.
Why so many updates so soon.
What is wrong with Firefox and when am I going to be able to get on the web without locking up constantly?I have Internet Explorer as well, but, It says I need Adobe to go to Facebook. When I try to download Adobe, I says IE must be my primary browser. I have no idea how to change, do you?
Firefox is especially bad at locking up when I am playing games. Have you had this problem?
I will switch immediately if I can figure out how.
Thanks so much for any help. -
When I use the search box on the upper right and begin to type a word/words when the menu of possible choices appears and I click on the one I want, nothing happens. It doesn't automatically put it into the box like it used to and I have to type everything out.
Didn't work for me. Got the drop-down but still won't transfer to Google box.

I JUST HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY IPHONE "4GS".THE SCREEN DISPLAY ARE BLANK.ALL THE APP ITS GONE.JUST HAVE ONLY "BLACK AND BLUE LINE"INSIDE THE SCREEN.ALL THE PHONE FUNCTION STILL ABLE TO RECIVED THE CALL BUT UNABLE TO MAKE PHONE CALL BECAUSE THE TAP ICON ARE GONE.
Not sure what the origin of the problem is, but you should try deleting iDVD's preference files.
First, close iDVD and go to your Home(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will automatically create a new fresh one when you reopen it.
Open iDVD.
See if the main screen is now visible.
Post back if that did not help. -
Running various anti-spyware programs to fix a Google search hijack/redirect problem, somehow all the default options that are originally supplied by Firefox for search engines in the search bar to the right of the URL bar have disappeared. In the "Manage Search Engines" window, the "Restore Defaults" button is greyed out and not operational. The "Get more search engines" link takes me to a long list of search engines which does NOT show the usual defaults, like Google. How do I get Google back into the search bar? (You correctly show my current browser and OS.)
Do you see the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) ?
If not then reinstall Firefox on top of the current installation.
You can find the latest Firefox release here:
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

By using inspector, i found a way to create and insert a scrolldown list (*) in a cell ; however it can only be done one line at a time .what i am looking for is to create a bigger scrolldown list ( from 30 to 100 lines ) and in excel we can do it by copy and paste from an other doc...there must be a way with Numbers !!! any ideas ?
(*)...go to inspector/4th icon to he left/format/local menu/and then input the list one by one...and it creates a scrolldown list where you cursor was located in numbers.
please help....If you need to use this kind of objects, my guess is that it would be better to use an other application like libreOffice.
At an user request, I wrote an AppleScript grabbing the list from a table embedded in the Numbers document.
Here is an enhanced version.
--{code}
--[SCRIPT fake-scrolldown-list]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : fake-scrolldown-list.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner une cellule dans une table d'un document Numbers.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “fake-scrolldown-list”
Le script extrait la liste d'articles de la table « la_liste » de la feuille contenant la table ci-dessus.
Il demande de choisir un article puis dépose celui-ci dans la cellule sélectionnée.
ATTENTION : À la demande d'un utilisateur, Le script utilise un nom de table localisé.
Je n'aime pas cela parce que de ce fait, lorsque le script est utilisé sur un système Français,
il requiert une table nommée "la_liste" mais lorsqu'il est utilisé sur un système Anglais il requiert la table "the_list".
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: fake-scrolldown-list.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a cell in a table of a Numbers document.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “fake-scrolldown-list”
The script extract the list of allowed items from the table “the_list” which must sit in the same sheet that the table embedding the selected cell.
It urge to choose an item then insert it in the selected cell.
CAUTION : I use different names for the required table according to the language in use on user request.
I dislike this feature because a document built by a French user sent to an English one will fail.
On the French system the script ask for the table "la_liste" but it ask for the table "the_list" on an English system.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro. However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro. All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks. What setting is wrong?
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.
