    @shiori_ffxiv Hmm, was that the only back up save? If you had that one, you must have some from later on when you synced your phone to iTunes. Customer service can prolly hell there if you can't find them.

  • panzerjedi Jason (@panzerjedi) reported

    @Razerwire9 Close iTunes and shut down Windows. Reboot. Try again, make sure to click Apply when you select Manually manage music and videos

  • Altavistagoogle Altavistagoogle🇨🇦 (@Altavistagoogle) reported

    @MoneyBoyRo Youtube TV is a US only cable over the Internet service. Apple TV is either a device (Apple TV HD or Apple TV 4k) or an app (aka iTunes).

  • pmiscove Phillip Iscove (@pmiscove) reported from Los Angeles, California

    @nationsfilm @babsamiga FWIW I’ve never had any issues with iTunes in this regard. I can’t say the same thing for the other streamers.

  • waltseason Walt (@waltseason) reported

    Apple has renamed iTunes and iPhoto to Music and Photos Which is great because when I'm googling issues I'm having with those apps, the terms "music" and "photos" are arbitrary enough to make it impossible to find any solutions

  • yunhosfendi Shasha | STREAM DEJA VU (@yunhosfendi) reported

    @shiningteacup The ww itunes album chart we fell down at 2nd place :(

  • PiercetheTyler Tyler from Natick (@PiercetheTyler) reported

    How have I never seen @birbigs appearance on Michael Showalter's Showalter? Now I feel the need to go purchase a CD of My Secret Public Journal on iTunes or wherever CDs are sold, but iTunes shut down and I don't even know if can you buy CD's anymore.

  • TomWrld999 TomWRLD999 (@TomWrld999) reported

    @nickmira Put the iPhone into DFU mode, the plug the phone to your macbook and open up iTunes.. iTunes should recognize the phone and will ask you what u want to do with it.. Chose restore and it should install the clean iOS version... This should fix this problem

  • Sue_OT5 Sue🇺🇸🇵🇭 (@Sue_OT5) reported

    @MyCunado You can now download or stream your iTunes library to your Android phone. ... You can simply download the Apple Music app from the Google Play store just as though it came from any other music-streaming service.

    Cool Australia Facts: There is no legitimate way to watch American Psycho or Memento. No streaming service has it, not even iTunes, and no retailer sells BDs/DVDs of them. Your only choice is to import or buy a second hand copy off Amazon/ebay

  • DaksterSullivan Dakster Sullivan (@DaksterSullivan) reported

    Okay #Apple Twitter. Talk to me about Apple Music. When I first signed up a few years ago it deleted personal music files that I didn't purchase from iTunes (told it was a glitch). Is that still an issue?
