When I try to search a song or artist on iTunes from my iPad, I get a message that it is not available in us stores. Then I go to my iMac and don't have a problem. Am I missing something?
I don't have an answer for you but wanted to pipe in to say you are not alone. After updating iTunes and restarting and then going through the backup/sync it appears to have disappeared (fingers crossed).
I have the same problem. The person who posted "search works if you dont use the suggestions" is correct. Thats the only way the search in Itunes works on my ipad. It works just fine on my IMAC.
I'm also seeing this now. Also, iTunes only allows me to choose recommended music only - I can't browse anything in the iTunes store on my iPad. The app store seems to work fine.
