chrissyx (@AplIntelligence) reportedI ran into several issues updating to iOS 26 - Windows users CANNOT update to iOS 26 yet iTunes & Apple Devices app say that you must update your app in order to upgrade to iOS 26 3uTools runs into the issue saying there's some http error with systemtime, Older macOS devices too, and unUpdated iPhones too, say that it requires an update to download iOS 26, but 3uTools on Mac works. While writing this, I flashed my phone!

Joey Schmo (@SchmoJosey) reportedThis is impressive considering that Itunes is a streaming service to buy/rent films so almost always the top films on itunes are new movies that are still in movie theaters but available for on demand. Or new movies that just came out the movie theaters for exclusive on demand.
-
LuigiTheMetal64 (@Luigithemetal64) reported@Mangalawyer Don't expect Microsoft to do better on PC. Oh, wait—they are never better at all. Even I can not be sure if it is Microsoft or Apple's problem with iTunes being unable to code CD songs into iPhones.
-
Alan Taylor (@Alan_Taylor_314) reported@VeritasKnight i could list up a quick "introductory best-of" half-dozen, just to find out if it'd be your style or not. i mean there are a few terrible episodes, and bad luck could pick a stinker... i *think* it's available on any of Amazon, iTunes, Roku, and Tubi

YASMIN 💸 (@BENITOMARAJ) reportedYall are terrible for not taking alone to #1 on iTunes 😭
-
Bob 🐊🇺🇸 (@Filmbeloh20) reported@EricVldw @Munky_Berto I'm on like my 10th new Mac since iTunes was rolled out and I've never had a problem sending my tunes to a new machine. It's in the 'Music' folder under 'iTunes' You can drag them all straight to a external hard drive.
-
holly ✭ (@spongebobinof) reported@ghiblijoonies I bought the terrible single on iTunes so I’ve been getting my money’s worth and listening on there lol
-
Carson Reed (@cinemamotionss) reported@WillFaucherVFX Use iTunes and do a backup, my phone had the same issue and Apple doesn’t let users clear your cache easily. 💩
-
DivXMaN (@crypto_div) reported@icecube Use FindMy to issue the command to wipe it remotely in case it goes online. Most likely a baggage handler took it- they'll connect it to iTunes, erase it, and reinstall iOS. Highly unlikely you're getting it back.

𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓪 ⁷ 💜 (@mariawithIuv) reported@taetan77 Billboard, itunes, numerous records on spotify plus his numbers are great, has charting albums in so many countries around the world and I could keep going on but just go back to your main and stop talking about hoseok instead of trying to bring him down
-
☽⛧☾༺ 𝔏𝔶𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔴𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥 ༻☽⚧︎☾ (@LycanWitchcraft) reportedFalse. Music “purchased” through iTunes, you’re not buying the music itself, you’re buying a license to use the music. While it has the illusion of ownership, you don’t actually own it, ie you need to sign in and authorize your computer for the music files to work, you are limited to burning the songs to disc 7 times total, songs not downloaded or backed up can disappear if the content right holders pull their license with Apple, not allowed to sell or trade or anything beyond personal use with the music, etc.

ConservativeChitChat (@ConservativeCCh) reported@iheartmindy I've had to cough-up money for a couple of pound store reading glasses earlier this year 'cos I was starting to have trouble seeing prices on my iTunes wishlist (e.g. struggle to see the difference between £5.99 or £3.99) + the clock on the Windows taskbar + OTP codes on me phone
-
Coach Popabitch 🥷🏾 (@CoachPopabitch) reported@MVPKing973 Had some of my favorite mixtapes on there. I need to login and see what they were so I can go to YouTube and convert them and download them to my iTunes.
-
MEJ ⁷ (@mej7516) reported@BigPurrPurr @Angeliinaaax_ @MrsTOH2O Thank you. It’s like it’s 2 factions. 1) OG-iTunes/Apple Music Lib & 2) Apple Music + that you now pay $10/mon for. Before AM was a place where we could take our own cds upload into the app, & buy music from iTunes & make playlists for free. This pay service changed everything.
-
Mariah Carey's World (@MCareysWorld) reportedWhile we wait for @MariahCarey and her team to fix the iTunes issue (listed as an album instead of a single which is why is not appearing on any charts and people can't find it) #TypeDangerous, be sure you grab your copy of the single on Amazon! @MariahAlerts
-
VJ 🥢 (@vjhonsool) reported@AINEE07275 @svnwithu_ @Koobidivines They changed the rules for the BTS store to avoid the filtering issue, and it's really not hard to buy on itunes and amazon. We always seem to hear these kinds of excuses when it comes to supporting Yoongi.
-
Tech Deals (@TechDeals_16) reported@Krytopsy @EA iTunes hasn't had DRM on music in a very long time, yet somehow music piracy really isn't the problem it used to be back when it was all locked down. Remove the DRM, people will buy your product.

college hill || rachel adjogah (@thecollegehill) reportedhas anyone else run into an issue where the macOS music app (aka iTunes) just skips to the end of mp3s? i'm losing my mind because it's happening for the tracks on my last album and the files play fine everywhere else

💫marimo💫 (@marimo_tea123) reported@HONGSMINGKI I think part of the problem is I have no idea where to stream. I am constantly playing the music video but I only learned about iTunes last night.

hannakin skywalker (@HannahBALLIN) reportedi had to listen to my itunes with spotify being down. there were good throwbacks coming on but it was immediately ruined by the u2 album that was forced on everyone
-
Rick Adams (@riadams1) reportedAgain, @Sonos ??? 90 minutes on chat/phone with support staff to try (unsuccessfully) to re-establish connection to my iTunes Library. Same bullshit a lot of us went through in early 2024. And after a lot of lip service from leadership about being better. Nope ... not better ...
