Searching for a song doesn't work

I have a MacBook Pro 2006, with OSX version 10.8.6, and I am using iTunes version 10.4.
I have been getting this problem on and off, where I open iTunes, or it's been open for a while (it doesn't really make a difference), and I type in the search box to search my library for a song that I KNOW IS THERE, and the library won't react. It's as if the search bar doesn't exist/isn't doing anything.
Can someone help me please, this is a really frustrating issue as I have over 16,000 songs, so it's near impossible it fish through all of them for one song manually.
Thanks in advance!

    Hi Masaya,
    Do FN objects exist in SAP? Were they created prior to indexing or do you have the delta indexes setup?
    Kind regards,

    Dear Luke,
    Thank you for your great help.
    This SAP note seems very helpful for our issue.
    I will try this SAP note (Support Package) and report its result.

  • How do you search for a song in the latest version of ITunes??

    How do you search for a song in the latest version of ITunes??
    Yes this might be the stupidest question ever, but leave it to Apple to make the simplest thing hard.
    In EVERY version of Itunes, up until 11, you used to be able to type an artists name, song name, or album into the search field and it would narrow it down so that you can see what you are looking for (in the list below).  Now, Itunes tells you that you have music by said artist, yet doesn't list them whatsoever. Furthermore, when you click on the results it doesn't list them for you either.
    I'm sure it is some weird setting, but cannot for the life of me find.  I cannot name one application that doesn't show a list when you type in the search field.  Augh!
    Please help.

    You can choose what it searches and where

  • Skill Search works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client

    My environment consists of Lync Server 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013.
    I configured skill search and it works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client. An error appears says"error occurred during the search, please try again".
    I configured these URLs in my client policy
    set-csclientpolicy -identity global -spsearchinternalurl http://<Sharepoint Server>/_vti_bin/search.asmx
    set-csclientpolicy -identity global -spsearchcenterinternalurl http://<Sharepoint Server>/searchcenter/pages/peopleresults.aspx
    I checked these URLs from the browser and they work fine.
    I disabled anonymous access to _vti_bin, but no change then i checked lync log but i didn't find any error then i used Wireshark and found that when Lync client contacts Sharepoint, Sharepoint responded to it with internal server error http 500
    Please advice for what to do

  • When in i-tunes 11 mac, how do i search for a song as well as a genre at the same time?

    when in i-tunes 11 mac, how do i search for a song as well as a genre at the same time?

    If you mean searching for a song that you already have in your Library, then you can select "Music" first. Then, go across horizontally to Genres and select that; then by using the drop-down menu found under "View" & (of course) select "View Options"-- you will be presented with a limited # of choices to sort by.
    My iTunes 11.0.5 shows 4 parameters to choose from: Title, Artist, Year and Rating. Then you can sort & finally...
    Enjoy,

  • How to search for a song?

    I'm searching for a song using the search box on the top right hand side of the page.  When I hit enter the screen flashes a page and then goes blank

  • Purchased song doesn't work

    I just bought the new Linkin Park album but one of the songs doesn't work when I choose to play it. It doesn't load up to play, doesn't show the album artwork, and never starts to play. Plus when I listened to the album all the way through, track by track, it just skipped that track and moved to the next one. What do I do?

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Do you mean that you can't download it or that you've downloaded them but the tracks don't play ?
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    '''question:'''
    What can I do to get WMP running on my Win2000 using FF5.01-portable ?''''''

    On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best." 
    My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals.  Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

  • Search for a song in a playlist

    Hello.I would like to find out how can I search for a song in a playlist in iTunes on iOS (iPhone 5s)

    Search music. While browsing, tap the status bar to reveal the search field at the top of the screen, then enter your search text. You can also search audio content from the Home screen. See Search.
