Searching for specific song/artist

In Itunes it is real easy to find a song you are looking for using the search bar, but when I am on the airplane, and the urge hits to hear a specific song, that just so happens to be at the end. I see it sorts Alphabetically, but I would like an easier way to find songs.. Any help?

I am afraid I can't help you but that is a very good question because I feel that way too... It's kind of hard when you have to scroll through 3,000 songs! lol

  • 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 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

  • Search For Specific File Type (eg .txt)

    I know how how to find files in a folder using Java but how do you search for specific file types. I am looking only include files with the extension .txt in my search.

    Cheers. I already looked at that. Got a program that parses a XML and had a play about with it. Can print the contents of tags in my XML. Its just that im trying to parse my XML and have the contents of the starts_with tag to appear in startsWith(or a variable to which this has been assigned) and the contents of the extension tag to appear in endsWith. Totally clueless on how to go about it.
    Below is my class. Would be greatful if you have any ideas.
    import java.io.File;
    public class FindLatestFile {
                 public static File getLatest(File thisDir){
                         long latestModDate = -1;
                         File latestFile = null;
                         File[] fileList = thisDir.listFiles();
                         for(int i=0; i < fileList.length; i++){
                             File file = fileList;
         if (file.lastModified() > latestModDate & (file.getName().startsWith("A") & file.getName().endsWith(".txt"))) {
         latestModDate = file.lastModified();
         latestFile = file;
                             return latestFile;

  • 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)

    Hello WinXXx,
    Thank you for the question.  You can search for content in the Music app by tapping the status bar (the top bar of your iPhone where you see the time and battery information):
    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.

  • Search for specific values (no *) in RSUSR070

    I want to find all activity groups that contain a specific entry for authorization object P_ORGIN, Personnel Area field.  I want to search for FL02 for example, but if I type FL02 in the selection field, I will also get any activity group that contains * as the value for Personnel Area.  I tried putting FL02 in single quotes but that did not work either.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    I thought maybe I'm doing something wrong or this is because i excluded the Time Machine volume from spotlight, but ok, not my fault, but an apple "feature"
    I could search for specific E-mails using a finder search and then switch into Time Machine, but since Mail is called a Time-Machine-Aware Application I felt there should be a direct way to do this in Mail…
    Yes, there "should be a direct way to do this."
    The approach you describe above will work for email that still currently resides on your Mac, for example an email that has been "Replied" back and forth and you wish to retrieve an earlier version of the conversation. Or perhaps a "Draft" email that has undergone changes over time, of which you need to retrieve an earlier version. In these cases using Time Machine is relatively straight forward.
    My problem with Mail/Time Machine is with a specific email that has since been deleted. Unless you know exactly what mailbox that email had been in, and at what time the email had existed, then it can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. In this case the Time Machine interface needs to have a search box added to the "time travel" windows for faster retrieval of specific items, the location of which the user doesn't remember.
    I'm convinced, though, that the usability of Time Machine in such instances will improve over time. Particularly as more app become integrated with it.

  • Search for specific E-mail in Time Machine?

    Hi,
    I have a problem with searching for E-mails in Time Machine.
    When I search for E-mails of a specific address or subject in Mail and can't find it, I enter Time Machine and in Time Machine the "search field" of the mail window is empty and all E-mails are shown.
    I found no way to filter the E-mails and it's difficult to find an E-mail when all E-mails are listed.
    I also can't use a intelligent folder with my search criteria, cause they are greyed out in Time Machine.
    Is this a "normal" behaviour or am I doing something wrong?

  • Re: Itunes 10.3 for windows  I had problems  whereas when I searched for a song I kept getting message "Accessing Itunes Store" when I was already in it I uninstalled and reinstalled latest version  Still having problems

    I had following problem: When I tried to search for a song in the Itunes Store I kept getting message "Accessing Itunes Store" (even though it appeared I was already in the store) Everytime I typed a character in the Search box the Accessing Itunes Store message would pop up
    I was told to uninstall Itunes and Quick time programs and reinstall latest versions, which I have done and now have Itunes 10.3
    I still got same messages so I tried a few things and when I went to my itunes account profile I got message "Requested Resouce not found"
    Don't know where to go from this point.  HELP

    I have the same issue.  I took it the genius bar and called talked to tier 2 phone support. They have standard thing where you uninstall all apple software in a certain order and then reinstall 64bit itunes.  That did nothing (tried it 4 times).
    I've gotten two clues so far.
    One is that at the store if I plug someone else's iphone 4 in then itunes acts the same way. So it is not the phone. Two is tier 2 phone support told me to try syncing it with a fresh user account (an admin one). I did that and itunes was just fine, it did not freeze.
    So there appears to be some conflict with the software, music files, whatever that is on my current user account (also an admin account).  I ran virus and malware detectors and found nothing.  Now I'm going to try putting my music, movies, apps, etc in the new user account and see if the phone will sync then.
    I know its not much but thats where I'm at. I hope it helps.

  • With the new IPhone 7 can one search for a song or artist like one could using the iphone 4?

    With my I phone 4 I could search by song or artist and access a song or album and then select purchase.  Is it still possible to search by song or artist with the 7 version or must one always go through radio?

    I understand that, as in some may still need SpeedGrade for specific things, however, when looking at the new premiere, it seems those specific things would be complex things that I don't do. I'll give an example, if you see what Colorista iii  does, that's about as far as I know how to take color grading. It looks to me like the new premiere will have those features colorista has. Which is basically like Speed Grade but maybe not quite as complex.
