Where's the search bar in itunes store

Trying to search for songs to download but can't find a search box!  Can anyone help?

I just resolved this issue by doing the following (Please read the entire post before performing):
Quit iTunes
Open Finder and click Go > Go to Folder... (or press Shift-Command-G)
Type the following (or copy and paste) and press return:
~/Music/iTunes
Move the file "iTunes Library.itl" to Trash. DO NOT empty Trash yet (because if this does not resolve the issue, you will want to put this back)
Relaunch iTunes and see if you now have the top bar in iTunes, including the search bar in the top-left.
NOTE: Removing the iTunes Library.itl file can cause you to lose Playlists, and even cause your music on disk to be unrecognized. It is highly recommended that you back up with Time Machine before performing this task.
If you know where your music is on disk (most likely still somewhere withing that iTunes folder, possibly just in iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media) you can still drag this music back into iTunes for it to reorganize and recognize the music. There is not much you can do about Playlists other than manually recreating them or quitting iTunes and putting back the iTunes Library.itl file.

    Where is the search field for entering search terms in iTunes Store?

    This is great.  It works if you open the iTunes Store app.
    It does not work if you enter the store by clicking in the store link in the music app.
    So much for integration and the user experience.  Feeling like a MSFT product launch!

  • ITunes 7 : where is the search bar ?

    Hi !
    I can't find the command to display the search bar in iTunes 7 (you know, the bar that allowed the user to choose on which field the search criterias was applied : song name, artist, ...).
    Am I missing something or has the feature been dropped from the new iTunes ?

    Previous post:
    I agree, the search criteria bar was a great feature that really made it an Apple program, it is a feature from the OS, that they migrated into iTunes. It really seems like Apple dropped the ball on this version, maybe they lost the source for iTunes 6 and they were working from a previous version, BSing it as they go? Maybe they outsourced this version?
    It really reflects poorly on them, in my opinion.
    I get the same impression on having started this version from the wrong version of the source code, bizarre as that seems. Lots of tweaks seem actual steps backwards for no real reason. And some of the bugs we're seeing are just simply daft - and feel like they were fixed ages ago. Some of the stuff I've seen just shouldn't have been broken by the changes they did make.
    (Like how can you suddenly not notice you've completeed the last track in a playlist, so you'll just sit there not completing... and not marking playcount/last played.). I wonder if for some key components of iTunes they picked the wrong version off the shelf?

  • Where is the "accept" button for iTunes Store Terms and Conditions on the iPad?

    Where is the "accept" button for iTunes Store Terms and Conditions?  Can't use iTunes on my iPad without accepting conditions.

    Which tab in the iTunes app are you in ? If you are in the Downloads tab then the Ts & Cs link shows if you don't have any outstanding downloads - your download and synced films and TV shows should be in the Videos app and your music, audiobooks and audio podcasts in the Music app

  • How to select songs using the search bar in iTunes for Windows 8.1

    Just today (8th May, 14) I couldn't select songs when using the search bar in the top right hand side of iTunes. I patched it but it didn't solve the problem, however once I ran as administrator it did fix the problem. Is there a way to not have to run as administrator every time I want to open iTunes and/or is there a way to fix this problem? I have iTunes pinned on my taskbar so by default it does not open iTues as administrator. Thanks

    Hi,
    This should be compatible issue.
    Please try to install the driver in Windows 8.1 compatible mode:
    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

    If you still find unknown device in your Device manager, right click to update the driver to see what's going on.
    For further troubleshooting, please post back the C:\WINDOWS\INF\setupapi.dev.log

    You can update it onto OneDrive or the similar network device and share the link here.

  • Search bar in itunes store not working

    I tried to transfer my songs from my old ipod to the library on my new computer and that was an utter failure.  So today I am merely trying to purchase some new music for my new ipod.  The search bar in the iTunes library does not work.  I type in "beck" or "Rihanna" and I get a blank screen. Would appreciate some insight here.  Thank you!

    Strangely, changing the date on my computer fixed the search issue.  Bizarre.  If anyone can help with the song transfer issue that would be great.  Thanks!

  • Where is the authorise computer in Itunes Store menu?

    Hi ... can anyone advise where on Itunes Store is the menu showing authorise computer.  Am currently trying to sync my iphone 3GS to a new PC.........

    I tried all of these without success then had a stroke of luck. I only downloaded itunes today and could not find the "store" menu item. I finally found a tiny icon in the very top left of the itunes screen (looks like a page of paper with the left half black and right half white) and a tiny triangle beside it. When I clicked on it, it gave a drop down menu. One item was "show menu bar". When I clicked this it opened a menu bar that had the "store" as an option and voila!!! there was "authorise this computer" as an option. Easy once you know how!!!!

  • Where is the genius bar in ITunes 11.0.1?

    Can't seem to find the genius sidebar that recommends new tracks from the Itunes store. Anyone have any ideas on how to restore it to the left hand side of the screen?

    Hi Guys,
    I believe that all you need to do in iTunes 11 is go to the iTunes Store & Select Store menu bar item, you can then drop down to turn on Genius; then the screen below will show & finally you turn on Genius (again) there. Once you do that it will show in your iTunes sidebar. Click to enlage screenshot:
    Enjoy!

  • Weird White text at the bottom and in the search bar of iTunes

    So my iTunes (ver.10) somehow has a weird white colored text at the bottom where it tells you what your song count, days, and gigabytes in your library are? And the text is a super light gray in the search box in the upper right hand corner...what the heck? Does anyone know how to change this?

    Thanks so much!

    Either the iPhone has crashed in some way to cause it to corrupt badly enough to need restoring to work (either hardware issue or software corruption) or it has been connected while holding down the Home button.
    Try resetting the handset (Hold Home & Power together for 15secs until Apple appears) and if it still goes back to recovery mode it means there's a major software issue or a hardware fault

  • Where is the tool bar in itunes for mac?

    I lost my tool bar in the last update.  How do I get it back? I can not burn a cd without it.

    It may be that iTunes has gotten into Full Screen mode.  If that's the case, moving the cursor to the very top of the screen and letting it sit for a second or two will cause the menu bar to drop down.
    To burn a CD without needing the menu bar, first get iTunes to show your playlists.  In the leftmost window, right-click on the playlist you want to burn to CD.  From the menu that appears, select Burn Playlist To Disc.
    Good luck.

  • Where did the search bar go when I sync movies to my iphone?

    Is this off by default or is it gone completely? I have 200 movies and I used to be able to type the movie name in when I sync my iPhone to check it, but the search box is gone....is it supposed to be or is there a way to get it back?
    thanks

    I'm glad you found this, but that's crappy interface design. The search box needs to be put back on top of the artists list.
