This is a question about the iTunes Store.  I have the correct artist, title, composer, and album name for a song popular in the 1970's.  The store's Advanced Search feature can't find any of the information.  How can I get Search to find the song I seek?

What can I try if the store's Advanced Search strikes out trying to find the song I want?

Perhaps the song is not available in MP3 format, or isn't available in the iTunes Store, or simply not available in your country. (A Norwegian band's first album from the 1980s became available in MP3 format only in April 2012; an example that not everything is automatically is available in MP3 as soon as possible.)
... and before any wag says, or even thinks "it", yes - the Norwegian band's album is very good! (Still waiting for their second album, from 1982, though!)
You may be surprised at how often a song or album is not available because of "contractual problems" - in other words, someone's being greedy, difficult, or both. (Another album I like, from a UK band of the 70's, was unavailable for a long time because - and I'm quoting the band's leader - "the copyright owner wanted too much money for the album to be on CD.")
You could try looking for the song in other stores. If it's not yet available anyhwere, you'll just have to be patient. You could try contacting the band via any websites they have, and asking them about it's availability. What's the song? Perhaps I (or soemoen else) might be able to confirm it's availability on MP3 from another source.

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • Question about ICloud. Do I have to back-up my iPad and iPhone4 b4 sync with iTunes?

    Question about ICloud. Do I have to back-up my iPad and iPhone4 to iCloud b4 sync with iTunes? Last time I synced iphone4 with iTunes, I updated to 5.0.1 when I connected, but it wiped my calendar entries. I had to reset to the last date I had synced (4months ago). So my question is... Now that I have iCloud, should I back up both my iPhone and my iPad before I sync with iTunes?  And will all the data from iPad, iPhone, and computer all merge when the iPad and iPhone are synced?

    It does not matter.

  • HT2534 According your instruction number 1, when I creat account on computer, I have to click iTune Stores first. But, where can I get the iTune Store to click. I cannot find it. Please help me.

    I cannot find iTune Store to start for free download application.

    You are on your computer and not your iPad ?
    On windows with iTunes 11 on it then control-S gets the left-hand sidebar to show, and on a Mac option-command-S does similar. Then select the iTunes Store on that sidebar, click App Store at the top of the store home page, and find a free app, click on its free price, and then click 'create Apple id' on the popup

  • How do I change artwork and album name for a playlist?

    I can't figure out how to do this:
    I like to make cd-length playlists (essentially "mix cds") with songs that I own. I make new artwork for the mix cd, and for categorization, I like to change the Album Name and Album Artist to whatever I've named the mix (i.e., "songs about trains").
    However, if I do this, the individual songs no longer appear with their original albums, since I've changed the info on them.
    So essentially what I want to do is make a copy of the songs. I don't mind if they take up extra space on my hd. How do I do this easily?
    I know I can just burn the cd and rip it, but then I have to rename every single song, which is a pain.
    Is there an easier way? I imagine many other people like to make mix cds like me...
    Thanks.

    The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
    I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

  • Can't change Artist or Album name for multiple songs now.

    I can no longer select an entire group of songs and change the name of the artist or album.  It just ignores my changes.  I can change individual items with no problem, but that is incredibly time consuming if I want to change the name of one of these for an entire group of songs.
    iTunes 12.0.1.26

    It works here. It should work for you too.
    See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows. It isn't entirely clear but as far as I can tell it seems as if some iTunes file activity is undertaken using the user's security account, and some via the SYSTEM account. If your media has moved between systems then there is a possibility that the permissions aren't ideal and perhaps one of the accounts is blocked.
    Alternatively hold down Shift as you Right-click > Get Info and you get the old dialog box which may work better.

  • My Gmail linked to ITunes Store was Hacked. I can't access ITunes account!!

    My Gmail I use to access Itunes store was hacked. I can't get in to change the password, and Google is not responding. Verify steps have been changed.
    So, I want to make sure my Itunes account is protected but they must have used the email change using my Gmail to also change my password there
    HELP!

    If the password to your iTunes Store account was changed, you can try the iForgot site:
    iforgot.apple.com
    and use the "answer security questions" option. With luck, the hackers won't have thought to change those questions. You should then be able to change the password. If those questions were also changed, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • A few Questions about the iTunes Store

    Hi, I have a couple questions about the store. First of all, can I use an iTUnes card to buy games for my iPod? Second, if I buy games/songs using my account, can I upload those games/songs onto multiple iPods? I ask this because me and my sister own iPods, and we don't want to waste money buying the same game twice.
    Thanks in advance.

    First of all, can I use an iTUnes card to buy games for my iPod
    Yes.
    Second, if I buy games/songs using my account, can I upload those games/songs onto multiple iPods?
    Yes; the iPods need to be set to sync with that account or manually.

  • I see lots of people asking questions about the "white screen" app store update failure. I see no answers from Apple about this...What is the problem, and what is the solution?

    I see lots of people asking questions about the "white screen" app store update failure. I see no answers from Apple about this...What is the problem, and what is the solution?

    It's a problem that Apple is having with their App updating system.  The best solution is to be patient, and wait for Apple to solve their systemic problem.

    I am getting this message on my iPad : This Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes Store. Tap Review to sign in, then review your account information.

    Hi Abdul5,
    This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. We'll need to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information. See Step 10 and above on this resource (For iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch):
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
    - Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
    - Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.
