Why does apple tv music search no longer provides lists of songs or artists based on inputing a few letters?

When using my first generation apple tv and the music search capability, I no longer get a list of options generation when inputing a few letters of a song or artist.  In the past (up until a month or two ago) if I input "led" in the search, I would immediately get many options of songs, artists, etc. showing up in the search screen.  Now, if I put in "led" I must go to the next "page" and it will provide a much more limited selection.  If I don't know the exact name of an artist or song, searching becomes less of an actual search and more of, you better know exactly what you are looking for or you won't find it.  I was told by a service rep that there must have been a software upgrade that changed this function.  Does anybody have any info to confirm that, or is there some other problem?  I've updated all the software, rebooted the system, etc.  If it's a change to the function, it has renedered it almost useless, and that's a shame

I have exactly the same problem. I already did a factory restore! How can this be fixed?

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • HT204053 Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 2.1 Computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I am no longer able to renew my MobileMe account, Why? Maybe I should look into PC Computers in the future!

    Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 1.9 and 2.1 computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I cannot renew my MobileMe account, why? Is Apple incapable of keeping their old subscriber accounts active and still update their system? Maybe I should look into buying a PC in the future? I eagerly await your reply. Thanks

    MobileMe is being terminated in two weeks. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your computer you need to be downloading them as soon as possible or you will lose them.
    You can migrate to iCloud and set Mail up manually to receive your @me.com mail:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You will not be able to sync calendars or contacts. If you want to have general online file storage you will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

  • Why does apple tv take hours to record

    Why does Apple TV take hours to record movies?

    Not sure what you mean by 'record movies'
    If you are trying to rent a movie and it's taking a long time before it starts then that is due to your connection.
    720P requires 6mbps for instant streaming
    1080P requires 8mbps
    You can switch to SD in the settings
    To check your connection go to speedtest.net

  • Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo

    Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo - it takes over the Safari browser even with extensions turned off - firefox works fine but the malware is still alive and kicking on my mac.  Should I just uninstall safari and hope the malware is not doing more damage in the background?

    Hi Sickof --
    Apple has never had anything to do with Genio.  It is sneakily installed with other apps you think would be helpful. It is very sickening, IMHO. 
    Here's a thread here -- It's long, I know, but it's got great information for you.

  • Why does downloading from iCloud take so long now?

    I've been using Match since it was released. I'm used to the download times required for hour-length albums, playlists, and hi-def TV programs.
    My memory is that a year ago, downloading an hour-long music album that was bought on iTunes in iTunes Plus format (256Kbs) took abouit 5-10 mins. So why does it now take ONE HOUR?!?
    Likewise, my memory is that a year ago, downloading an hour-long hi-def TV episode that was bought on iTunes took abouit 20-30 mins. So why does it now take TWO HOURS?!?
    My infrastructure is the same: broadband connection with over 100Mbps down, iPhone 4s, iPad 3.
    WHY has downloading from Match gotten SO SLOW on iOS devices? On my new iMac it is blazing fast. And a year ago, it was rather quick (as detailed above).
    Anyway who has info on this, would greatly appreciate seeing it posted. Thanks.

    i formatted the Hard Drive from Disk Utility in order to Re-install OSX Lion...The download time first shown was like 53 hours and then after like 10 minutes it went down to 10 hours...i am pretty sure thst the internet connection i have is very fast, so why does downloading OSX Lion take so long?
    It's about 4GB, from memory, and the download speed can be affected from things like site traffic or variations in speed from your own ISP. But in general, it IS a very large download. Also never put your trust in a computer telling you how much time is left to download. As you can see, it recalculates everything more often and more quickly than the Tax Department!

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com.  You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
    No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

  • Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Free means Free....
    As both Johnathan and Demo have indicated, if it says Free there is no charge associated with it. If you upgrade to a "Pro" version, or if you do in-app purchases, then it is no longer free....but when you initially install the app, you do not pay anything if it says "Free".
    And "Yeah? I'll show you" does not help us to understand what you are talking about. If you want help, then provide specifics and we will help you to figure out your misunderstanding.

    You need to provide more detail. What do you mean by "a long time?" Are you charging it plugged into a wall socket?

  • In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

    I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
    I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
    Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
    I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
    The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

    While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
    Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
    As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

    That is the point of a beta version.
    Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. "
