Searching problems in iTunes

For example, in iTunes I want to search for and correct "Fitzgera," but I retrieve literally hundreds of "Fitzgerald." Is there a way to search for the short, incorrect entry only?

Essentially run iTunes as Administrater once and it should solve the problem going forward.
Go to /Program Files/iTunes and right click iTunes.exe and select run as admin
No need to do it every time, just once and than desktop shortcut icon will open iTunes with solved Store search display problem.

Search Problems in iTunes

The search feature in iTunes store on my iphone5 is not working. The page opens but does not allow me to type in a song to search for downloading. Any suggestions as to how to get it back. All other features in the store are available except search.

This issue with the"search" feature in iTunes store is SO frustrating. About 1/2 the time when I open the page, I only get the word "Search" on the page, the rest of the time 99% of the page opens with the exeption of the search box where you can type in the song you want to search. I have a 4s with the lastest software update. Nothing changed. My friend has a 5 and she is experiencing the same issue. GRRRR....

I am having a painful problem with itunes 10, everytime I go into the itunes store to search for a song, even if I type one letter in it will instantly launch into search mode and doesn't stop, so I'm unable to find

I am having a painful problem with itunes 10, everytime I go everytime I go into the itunes store to search for a song, even if I type one letter Itunes will instantly launch into search mode and doesn't stop, so because I can never get past putting in the first letter or two, I'm unable to search and download any songs. I am on the latest Imac Intel core i7 Mac OS X, can anybody help?
Thankyou.

Having this problem too: IT'S REALLY REALLY ANNOYING!!! Anyone have an idea how to sort this?

The "power search" yields no results whatsoever when i attempt to search. Is this a problem with itunes or my computer? Everything else seems to load just fine involving the itunes store.

I am attempting to search for artists on itunes and for some reason it keeps telling me there are no results when I know I am tying in the correct artist. I have been trying this repeatedly and using different artists and song names and I am still getting no results. Is this a problem with itunes?

The only thing I would be concerned about is.
1st, Where did the media come from.
2nd, Was it clean and free of scratches.
Most of the CD&DVD Drives in Powerbooks seem to be very very picky about the media they like to play with.
Always be carefull of the Source from where it came.
Commercially produced Media is rarely a problem.
It doesn't take much eiter to make them act silly.
Good Luck....Don

How do I fix problems with iTunes Store timing out when I search for music?

So, I downloaded iOS 7 not too long ago. However, when I tried to do a search on the iTunes Store app, it keeps timing out (it also stalls when I attempt view a song list on a specific album. My phone has no cosmetic or liquid damage, and. I have already performed a soft reset on the phone. Does anybody have a solution, or is this just a bug in the new software that needs to be fixed?

Also having problems connecting to the App Store without it timing out.

Using search bar in itunes when not connected to internet causes problem

I just upgraded to the newest version of itunes and I haven't had this problem before, but when I use the search bar in itunes to find something in the library (when I'm off line)I get an error report to send. Does the new itunes require being online even to look up something in the library or a playlist?

I'm getting a similar problem, not the exact error message, but one telling me I need to connect to the internet to buy itunes, when I am connected, so I'll be interested in the answer to your question too

Problem with iTunes and iPhone Music organization. PLEASE READ AND HELP!

Hello All!
I have this problem concerning iTunes and my iPhone. When I add music, and I update the Artist title to organize it in my iPhone, It shows EDITED on my mac in iTunes, but not my iPhone. I took a screen shot of what It shows. The TOP is iTunes showing "Arie Dixon" and "Arie Dixon & Olivia Cipolla" two seperate CD's, yet different Artist Titles, just the way I want it. The BOTTOM shows how the file was originally, in 3 seperate titles, "Bebe Boohgz" "The Jackmove 3" and "Arie Dixon 'Bebe Boohgz' and Olivia Cipolla". The problem is that iTunes shows it in the correct title, but my iPhone won't. This is my 2nd iPhone 4 I have that has this problem. I'm not sure if it's the settings or encoding, can someone help me out? I can't be the only person with this problem. Apple rep looked at me like o_O
I also have music that won't appear in my iPhone, I manually have to search for, but appears on my iTunes in the correct title.
I also have everything updated, and have the new os x release.

So plug the device into the computer and upgrade.
Are you getting a specific error message when trying to do this?
As for the message about the media disappearing, of course it will. This is how iOS upgrades work. The device is wiped and the newest version of iOS for the device is installed as a "new" device then the device is restored using the backup created prior to the upgrade.
All the content on the device should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
If you want to move your iTunes library to a different drive for capacity reasons, do the following:
Close iTunes
Copy or Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the C drive to the other drive.
While holding SHIFT launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt the user to select a library or create a new one. Point iTunes to the new iTunes folder location.

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
Issue 1: iTunes Match
Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working. Im really stuck on this one I need some assitance PLEASE! HELP!

Problems with ITunes 10 for Windows with Ipod Touch

I have had several problems with my original 16Gb ipod touch since upgrading to ITunes 10. Windows Vista Home Premium. I had no significant problems before ITunes 10.
1. Numerous apps upgrades fail with an error message (approx) "installation failed because resources have changed." I have searched for information about this, but all I could find relates to developers, not ordinary users. I can upgrade the apps directly, using a wifi link - just not through ITunes 10. (Apps: Dictionary.com, StarWalk, etc.)
2. After repeated examples of this, I decided to try restoring the ipod. I've done this several times in the past without problems. This time, it repeatedly failed at step 3 of 5, re-installing my music, with "unknown error." The ipod was unusable after this. I eventually had to restore on another computer that still had ITunes 9 installed - that worked, but I lost all me recent data entries. (After successfully restoring using ITunes 9, I tried again with ITunes 10 - same failure.)
3. Now, all podcasts that I install are played back at an unusable low volume. They are just loud enough to barely hear in a very quiet room, but not loud enough to be usable. The podcasts play fine when played directly in ITunes. Music installed on the ipod plays properly. I have tried using the Podcast option in ITunes to change the volume, but that has no effect. I have tried several speakers and headsets - all the same. Podcasts are probably the most important use of my ipod, and now they are useless. These are popular podcasts, such as CBC's As It Happens - I don't think that the originator would have had an undetected problem for this long.
Any suggestions?

This symptom could be caused by an unusable iTunes configuration file. Follow the steps below to troubleshoot this issue.
Remove SC Info.sidb file
(This applies to Win7 or Vista)
From the Start menu, click Computer.
In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
Click OK.
Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed: C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
Right-click the SC Info.sidb file shown and on the shortcut menu, click Delete.
Right-click the SC Info.sidd file shown and on the shortcut menu, click Delete.
Restart the computer and open iTunes.
If this does not work, repair your Quicktime - START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAM and FRAETURES / highlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR

TS1717 Having problems lauching iTunes on my pc, dowloaded new version, getting error message that iTunes is not installed correctly or corrupted, reinstall. I'm afraid I will loose everything,tried to back up to earlier date,system diognosis said incompa

Having problems launching iTunes on my pc. Had iTunes on this particular pc for over a year. Have downloaded all of the new updated versions. Now I get an error message saying "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall." I have backed up the pc to an earlier date when when the program was working, and also performed serveral system diagnosis all saying the program is incompatible. Searched for several compatible programs, none worked. All this happened several days after visiting iTunes. I'm afraid that if I reinstall iTunes that I will loose everything and have to start all over. Eventhough everything is saved in an iCloud account and this particular pc. Never had a problem till now. Appreciate any help. Thank you, cld

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

IPhone 4 version 5.0 has sync problems with iTunes 10.5 on Mac OsX 10.6.8

Hi there,
I have Mac OsX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 4 version 5.0; all up to date.
When I try to sync my phone with iTunes, the sync goes well until the apps start to sync .... then iTunes closes and I get varying error reports.
I have tried updating everything (Mac, iTunes, iPhone) to no avail.
I tried restoring the iPhone, that didn't help whatsoever.
Does anyone have a solution? I am now tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes (ie: 10.4.3) as some people suggest in different posts.
Thank you for your time in replying!
Marmotte

There is definitely a problem with iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5.0 syncing correctly. I've seen lots of workarounds on the forums here. Just search for it and see if you can come up with something that works.

I have a problem installing itunes (10.7)....it says that i've installed itunes successfully, but when I try to open itunes, it says that itunes have stopped working!

i have a problem installing itunes (10.7)....it says that i've installed itunes successfully but when I click on the shortcut, a popup box states that "Itunes have stopped working and asks me to either search via windows for solution or close program"

Yes, you should be on Quicktime version 7.7. by now. Have you ever used Software Update?

Why does search in the iTunes Store on the Mac produce different results than in the new Podcaster app?

If I search in the iTunes Store (in iTunes) on my Mac for this word:
msworld
I get two Podcasts I can subscribe to.
If I do the same search in the new Podcaster IOS app, I get no matching items as a result.
Does anyone know why or how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Alan

Problem solved.
It's the new Apple IOS Podcasts app, just released June 26, 2012.
It works fine, and search above works.
Thanks,
Alan

Why do i get a run time error box pop up and then close itunes when I search in the iTunes store?

Wnen i search in the itunes store, a ren time error pops up and then closes my itunes. why is it doing this? I have to go thru power search to get around the problem and is not as convenient. thanks, Jamboy72

This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

TS1424 no search button in itunes store

no search button in itunes store

I was doing the Reset All Settings thing at least once a week, which worked, but then would fail again. Finally, I turned in my 4S for an unrelated issue and I have not had the search problem once with the new phone. It is definetly something to do with software. If you have the ability to trade it in, like through Apple Care, then do it.
P.s. I turned in my old 4s because one of the small prongs in the dock/plug port got bent.
