Searching in iTunes

When I create a new playlist in iTunes, and want to add songs, I get a long list of songs. Although there is a Search box in the upper right corner, it does not work. No cursor no keyboard appear.
So, how can I search in iTunes?
BTW, the search box in all other situations except when adding items to a new playlist.

Hi Aldo,
People rarely use the search command. You might want to use the filter reference form instead.

    How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
    It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
    My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

    If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
    If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

  • HT204269 I can't find MobileSync/Backup/ in the Application Support folder in Library, I'm trying to find my phone back up from a few days ago before I bought my new iPhone, but when I searched on iTunes backup it has been replaced by the back up the day

    I'm trying to find my phone back up from a few days ago before I bought my new iPhone, but when I searched on iTunes backup it has been replaced by the back up the day after that. Now all my data from my old phone is lost including some really important things. Also before that iTunes wouldn't let me sync my iPhone 5s data to my new iPhone 6 Plus, saying that the data is corrupt, that's where all this trouble started. I've been trying to back-up the old phones data so I can access it, but it's been replaced when ever I plug the new phone in, and no the 'sync automatically when connected' is not ticked. Please help me find my back ups.

    Your iCoud account remains in iCloud even if your device is restored.  (In fact, you can't delete an iCloud account from iCloud, you can only choose to stop using it.)  If the device is restored, or it may no longer be signed into your iCloud account but your account will still exist in iCloud.

  • Everytime I try to search the itunes store it locks up my computer.

    When I use the search bar in iTunes to search the iTunes Store it crashes the application. If I use the Power Search option the search works fine and does not crash iTunes. This is a Windows 7 64-bit workstation using the 64-bit version of iTunes and I have completey removed the applications and re-installed and it continues to do this. I just upgraded to 10.3 yesterday and the problem still exists.

    Hi smile9622,
    If iTunes seems to be unexpectedly qutting with the notification that it stopped working, one of these articles should be able to help, depending on your OS.

  • HT204088 Why can't I use Library Search in iTunes?

    Why cant I use Library Search in Itunes?

    iTunes supports only mov mp4 and m4v video formats.  If you have added above format files to iTunes library and still not showing in the movies library, please repair your QuickTime.
    Control Panel > Programs n Features > highlight QuickTime, click CHANGE then REPAIR.

  • I upload a podcast each week using Podcast Maker. When I search the iTunes Store to determine if the most recent one is listed all the podcasts are in random order. This week's is

    I upload a podcast each week using Podcast Maker. When I search the iTunes Store to determine if the most recent one is listed all the podcasts are in random order. This week's is #14; last week's is #1. Any ideas how to correct this? The odd thing is that when you try to subscribe to the podcasts, they are listed in the proper order.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • 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.

  • I make a search in itunes and nothing appear

    i make a search in itunes and nothing appear

    Try doing this which will set you homepage to Google UK.
    #In the Location bar, type '''about:config '''and hit Enter
    #In the filter at the top, type '''keyword.URL
    #Double click it and replace the current setting with http://www.google.co.uk/search?q= (''it has to entered exactly as you see it written here'')
    Since it's a URL, you can right click the link and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type it when you go to change the setting.
    Then go to File | Exit.

    I continue to get r6025 runtime error with iTunes version 10.6.3.25.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled twice.  Happens when I search in iTunes Store.  Ideas to fix?

    Hi,
    got it fixed! My Son had both files on his Win7 iTunes installation. Never mind he had no issues whith ths iTunes and iPhone Sync. So I checked my other Win XP PC, where I don't have this problem syncing my ipad, and surprise. Both files do NOT show up on this PC. So I renamed the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe I found under c:\program file\iTunes and synced again my iPhone and it went through without any error. So the problem might be and unremoved iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe or the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll under the iTunes install root folder and this even if I had checked that the folder was completely removed during iTunes unistall.
    Please try yourselve and just rename the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe_ under c:\program file\iTunes or get a copy of the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll and cp to c:\program file\iTunes.

  • Unbeleivable this is not fixed - Blank screens when searching in ITunes.

    October 8, 2012 was my first (perhaps last) Apple purchase.  Being an Android user and fan, I am surprised that I cannot find a fix to the simple question "When I do a search in Itunes, why does the screen go blank and there are no results"?  The App store is the same way.  I have tired everything from reboot, closing apps and reboot, log out of Apple, changed time, and a few others.  If Apple doesn't care enough to fix things, I will return this pile of junk and get a tablet with Google.  I have a brand new Ipad new generation or whatever they call it with IO6.  It's the "latest and greatest".  No cell plan, WiFI only.  Hopefully, someone knows what the problem is.  If not, Best Buy is getting this back.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • 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?

  • 2 errors: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable" and the sim says "searching" while iTunes says there is "No Sim installed" - but of course, there is! Any help please??

    2 errors: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable" and the sim says "searching" while iTunes says there is "No Sim installed" - but of course, there is! Any help please??

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you for the note - I have seen similar replies on other posting errors and I see how that could make sense. The thing is, my iPhone is not jailbroken - it is from an authorized distributor. However, when I told them about the "no service" problem on the sim, they were unable to assist. Then my phone messaged that an itunes restore was required - so I did that, several times, to the error message now noted on my post. I wonder if there is some other way to over-write this message? Thanks very much.

    Try this. Start up Itunes. Click on Home Movies Videos in the movies section. If you have a movie her, right button click and select "Get Info". On the options tab, change the media kind to movie and select OK. Your other movies will slowly start to appear!

  • Filtering app search for "itunes file sharing"

    Is there a way to do a filtered search in itunes for apps that support itunes file sharing? Looking by trial and error has not been all that productive. I've found a couple useful apps that use the itunes file sharing: Phone Drive, and Quick Password Manager. I'd also like to find a decent spreadsheet app, that's smaller in size than the giant Apple apps--trying to retain room for some music.
    I don't use the cloud or wi-fi, so itunes file sharing is very useful for transfering files, etc. And if there is a app or method for syncing between itunes file sharing and my mac, that would be a bonus.

    Anything actually stored in iTunes, docs, apps, ect, should be backed up. If you are bacing up the iPad to iTunes, those back ups files would be in Time Capsule (although I confess, I've never had to extract one).
    As for apps themselves, they can always be redownloaded (both on the iPad and in iTunes on the PC).

  • Search for iTunes items by price

    Is it possible o search for iTunes items such as movies & music by price? For example all the movies that are $6.99 or any other price by that matter, not just the few that iTunes has listed in their movies home page.

    The "big offer" IS what you are missing. The movies that are normally 9.99 being reduced to 4.99 for a limited time but unable to find them is counter productive on Apple's part. If you are going to put movies on sale, you need to have a way for people to find out what those movies are!
    It's like a store having a Black Friday Sale flyer with random products that are not on sale, but the store would like you to buy them. You can go to the store to find the Black Friday deals but you have to look at every product on every self in every isle to see if they have a sale sticker on them.
    That's how hard it is to find movies that are $4.99 on the iTunes Store now. I used to purchase 5-10 movies a month when the Limited Time $4.99 Movies was something you could just click and see. Now I buy maybe 2-3 movies because I hate clicking on every genre and then every movie in the genre to check the SD price because it only shows the HD and Rental prices in the genre lists.
