Search field in iPad's iTunes is missing

Hi,
Something odd, but after updating the iPad to latest version of 5.1.1 now for some odd reason I cannot seem to find the search field in the iTunes music and video store, though I do have other buttons etc. (I'm a US resident).
Any 1 else also have/had this anomaly in their iPads?
Thanks ppl.

I'm guessing you mean in Safari. There is now a unified search/URL bar. Just type your search term in the same place you type your URL.
Best of luck.

Rented video from iTunes for iPad but video is missing?

Rented video from iTunes for iPad but video is missing? Can anyone help

You're sure that it completely downloaded? There may be a downloads button at the bottom on the right side of the iTunes Store app if the movie did not finish downloading.
Did you look in there to make sure that it fully downloaded?
You can also search for it. Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the search field at the top of the screen. Type in the name of the movie and see if it shows up. If it appears, you can tap on it and it will begin to play but that will also start the 24 or 48 hour timer that you get to watch a rental once you start it.
If you are not ready to watch the movie, don't tap on it. But if it shows up in the search, you know it's on the iPad so the next thing that I would do is reset the iPad and then look again in the videos app.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Search field missing

The search field is missing on Itunes on my Mac Book Pro. How do I get it back?

There is no setting for this.
Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

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.

Where is the search field in iTunes Store?

What happened to the search field in the store?

It should be at the top right of the iTunes screen :
When viewing the store that field should search the store, if you are viewing your library then it will search that

Missing keystrokes/characters in search field

Note: Others have encountered this same problem in the distant path. Wondering if anyone else has lately?
I began to notice that more than a few attempts to enter search terms in the upper right search field resulted in a missing character somewhere in the search string and consequently a borked search a week or two ago. (cannot link it to any changed add-on or silent Firefox update but it's always possible)
Not happening every time but Is occurring far too often to be my speedy typing fingers. Even occurs when I slow down to hunt and peck but not as often, suggesting maybe a buffering glitch. Kinda hard to estimate typing speed in milliseconds.
I would prefer not getting the classic "reset Firefox" non-solution (i.e., "nuke all your settings by throwing the kitchen sink at it")
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this irritating anomaly and if an actual solution exists.
Something I'd like to see (and it may already be hiding in plain sight?) is the DATE (various add-ons) were installed on my Firefox as opposed to the Last Updated Date of the add-on itself.
Another - on the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ page, since the individual "RESEARCH" buttons for STATUS UNKNOWN software leads to a Google search results page that will lead to umpteen other pages, it should open in a BLANK window/tab instead of overwriting the list of items we want to check! It's ludicrous to have to remember to click back arrow each time when one's instinct is to close the final windows... and find you've lost your place on the plug in check page!!
Thanks!
fully up-to-date Vista OS and Firefox 27
100% up-to-date software patches per Belarc & Secunia

Here we are, nearly 6 months later, 6 others claim to have the same problem, and still no solution. The second or third character typed on the keyboard is the one that's usually dropped, suggesting that there's some sort of lag created by the software interface or buffer. (I'm not a techie, this is speculation)
FF's Rube Goldberg philosophy of software construction - right hand doesn't know what the left hand's doing (people invest time creating plug-ins only to have the backbone broken by an "upgraded"/degraded version) - and "repairs" (the standard "solution" being either to remove all your plug ins and try the near infinite number of combinations OR the scortched earth policy of resetting FF and hoping that does the trick) is getting mighty tiresome.

When I enter a title in my search field for the iTunes store, I don't get a listing. I know iTunes has these songs. I get a blank template of some kind.

When I enter a name in the search field, all I get is a page that says "Showing Results for" and then nothing on the page. I enter Elvis Presley, for example, and the page that comes up says "Showing Results for Elvis Presley" but there's nothing on the page. I can't find any of the songs I want. This hasn't happened before. What's up?

Hi Bookman23,
If you are getting no results when searching the iTunes store, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes?

In applescript...
In another app - I have copied a song title to the clipboard...
Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to the clipboard contents?
Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes window?

Hi Rev Dave,
Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to
the clipboard contents?
Unfortunately the only way I can think to achieve this involves the use of "UI Scripting". The other previous posters have given you the preferred method you should consider using. If you want to script iTunes so that you visually see the search take place in iTunes you'll need to use the method shown in the script I've posted below.
Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes
window?
Cyclosaurus has given you the answer to this part of your question already.
Here is a script that (though ugly IMHO) should achieve what you are asking for:set theSearch to (the clipboard) as string
tell application "iTunes"
activate
set allPlaylists to playlists
repeat with aList in allPlaylists
if name of aList is not "Library" then
set view of front browser window to aList
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set LibList to playlist "Library"
set view of front browser window to LibList
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iTunes"
if "iTunes" is not in name of windows or ¬
focused of window "iTunes" is false then ¬
keystroke "1" using command down
keystroke tab
keystroke theSearch
end tell
end tellIn order for the above script to work you need to have "Enable access for assistive devices" enabled in the "Universal Access" section of the "System Preferences" application.
If you have any further questions about the above script feel free to ask.
Hope this helps...

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 >=[

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

Object navigator - Search field missing

Hello,
in the transaction se80 (Object Navigator), I used to have a search field in the repository browser to search for programs etc. But for some reasons this field is missing, there is just a white field which does not allow me to enter anything.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks,
Anne

Hi Anne,
This problem is because of GUI patch issue.
Try to upgrade your SAP GUI to 7.0.. Or install new patches if you are using GUI 6.0 versions.
This problem would definitely resolved if you upgrade to SAP GUI 7.0.
Thanks,

I don't have a 'search' field at all anymore in iTunes 11. As in, the box does not exist!! Can anyone tell me how I can get it back? It's driving me CRAZY!

Help, help, help!! My 'search' field in iTunes 11 seems to have completely disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

You don't see it here?
This is iTunes 11 on 10.6.8 - I tried to make it disappear but couldn't do so, so if you've lost it I can't give you an easy answer. Have you tried rebooting your Mac? If that doesn't help you could try reinstalling iTunes:

Can you post a screenshot?

Search field in App Store [iPad 4]

Hi,
I might have identified a software defect on my iPad after upgrading to iOS 7. I'm not sure if this is a feature of App Store or a glitch. Below are the steps to reproduce the behaviour.
Steps:
1. Start the App Store app on your iPad
2. Touch the search field, enter any word(s) and hit Enter.
3. Try clearing the search field using the (x) sign.
4. Switch to another tab within App Store
5. Repeat steps 2-4
Expected / actual result:
1. App Store is started -> OK
2. App Store lists the apps matching your search string -> OK
3. Text field is cleared -> OK
4. Text field contains the latest search string -> NOK
5. The old search string is cleared but instead the new search string is displayed even after clearing the text field and switching to another tab within App Store. -> NOK
Conclusion:
It seems that the search string is stored permanently until a new search string is entered. It doesn't matter how many times you clear the search field. The latest string is always there. Is this the expected behaviour? Because when I perform these steps on my iPhone 4 using iOS 7 this effect is not reproduceable.
Best regards,
Anton

As promised earlier, I am posting back with my findings and have figured out how to clear this field. This was successful on both the iPad 2 and "The New iPad" 3rd gen.
I do not know if this is a permanent fix and am not going to go out of my way to duplicate the bug. If I search an app from the app store on the iPad, I will avoid doing so from the Purchased or Updates tabs at all costs and do so from either Featured, Top Charts, or Explore - none of which seem to be bugged.
Under Settings/General/Reset: Reset All Settings.
You will have to log back in to iMessage and Facetime which seemed a little quirky. You will also need to set your wifi back up so if you have a static IP set, take note of your settings first. There are some general Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings that will need to be set back the way you prefer. It may remove Passcode lock. If you use Reduced Motion under Accessibility, that will need to be turned on again. There could be some other settings as well but those are the main ones. All of your data, accounts, and apps are secure and will not be changed.
Your settings will reset, your device will power cycle, and the bugged search box in the app store on the Purchased and Updates tabs will be cleared once again.
Please let me know how this works for you guys and if you dare to duplicate the issue, what triggers it? Searching and installing an app? Simply searching for an app? Perhaps the issue is gone under the new iOS and can no longer be duplicated?
I don't know, but for you Type A's out there, enjoy the clear search bar!
