    @brigliebs @hbomax I can’t find it. We’re on episode two. We will binge the entire season today! I hope when it gets pulled that we will be able to purchase it on Amazon or iTunes. It may not be on there now because it’s still being streamed. I’m heart broken!!

  • pluiedefeuilles Ellee (@pluiedefeuilles) reported

    the app Itunes is no longer itunes. Apple changed it to 'Music' when they decided to push for their streaming platform. You have to sign in with Apple ID, which most of the time require you to put in your card information.

  • Slaylenaalways ɴᴀᴛᴀʟɪᴇ (@Slaylenaalways) reported

    To all that wanted to do the buy calm down remix on itunes we’ll do that later sorry. I didn’t know what happened earlier WE LOVE YOU SELENA

  • ennri_ Shinobi (@ennri_) reported

    @TeamYouTube Helpful. Thanks. Lastly, I would like to remove my card from the web service since I'm okay with being charged from apple iTunes. How do I go about that?

  • august12th_ Visit Google PlayStore For The Talktailor App 💐🤎 (@august12th_) reported

    So R Kelly dropped an album, not going to lie, I would have loved to listen to it but apparently it has been pulled down from Spotify and iTunes 🥴🥴

  • Jjulian6412 SassMaggs (@Jjulian6412) reported

    @cryptotho @liz_churchill7 Last time I checked, listening to iTunes doesn't invoke adverse reactions such as stroke, myocarditis, pericarditis, neurological issues, paralysis, or death....

  • DanHitchens Daniel Hitchens (@DanHitchens) reported

    Hey @sebastianbach! Why is the album Angel Down so impossible to buy anywhere anymore? I can’t even find it on iTunes🤔

  • FACEISPRETTY ✿ LOW STAN (@FACEISPRETTY) reported

    @thruyourwap @chartdata Cardi featured 2 great rapper on a song that didn't even see the US itunes #1,sit down

  • Mike_Renouf Mike Renouf (@Mike_Renouf) reported

    @inderphull22 Interesting takes. I'm excited too. I don't think iTunes saved the industry & I don't think growth is the problem. Only blocker is building the decentralised systems artists need to get fair reward.

  • PhilAthans Philip Athans (@PhilAthans) reported

    Every once in a while a song comes up on my iTunes that's from an album my wife bought and I have to stop myself from panicking, thinking they signed me up for a tria" of their streaming service again. Hi, Whiney Houston, it's okay. We're okay.

  • BadkeWes Wes Badke (@BadkeWes) reported

    @9Touch902 I think all major payment processing companies are having the same issue. I bought a song from iTunes and the billing still says its being processed. That’s not normal.

  • heatheredpearls Heathered Pearls (@heatheredpearls) reported

    @Catzzye @ghostly Just listen to your iTunes and sort by Date Added. I went down to 2010 and clicked MBV, the song was barely there, just a bunch of noise

  • Nursey1994 Abigail Johnson ♿️ (@Nursey1994) reported

    @AmazonUK what the hell has happened to the Dots & Alexa? Midweek they’ve ceased to play any iTunes playlists other the first song. Then it says it’s the only song! Been thru the app,all settings correct. Many Others having same issue. Please fix

  • TheIvoSon Ivo Ilić (@TheIvoSon) reported

    @alexshws @rmondello My concern isn’t someone getting in, it’s what happens when Apple decides to lock you out of iCloud and you’ve lost your device? They are currently be sued for similar issues with iCloud and iTunes where they revoked access to users.

  • _KirkyKirkland Hime @ in Japan (@_KirkyKirkland) reported

    I was really panicking because it kept saying it couldn’t connect to the server and I should use a USB to connect to a PC w/ iTunes instead. Where would I have gotten such a PC from now? Dx

  • IPariahl Pariah (ENVtuber) (@IPariahl) reported

    @DaeghunPlays Funny enough i had this issue, reinstall itunes

  • owndiscomfort ty ✰ (@owndiscomfort) reported

    @YaBoiMaldark wait i lied they got taken down but i can email you my file from my cd i burned to itunes

  • Slaylenaalways ɴᴀᴛᴀʟɪᴇ (@Slaylenaalways) reported

    Hmm if you guys want we could try to get buy calm down remix on iTunes to trend too especially since we already got the other one trending 🔥🔥

  • FenixRising73 FenixRising (@FenixRising73) reported

    @the_danielle1 No I listen to Audible a lot and iTunes so not sure if I need the service but kinda miss it.

  • fictiti53448470 fictitious (@fictiti53448470) reported

    @dj_atownsend @iTunes They took it down because it was leaked and he didn’t authorize it’s release. Someone got it from his old equipment that was given away when he was arrested.

  • marybtsgirl 💜 Mary ⁷ ᴾʳᵒᵒᶠ (@marybtsgirl) reported

    @JMsLeftShoulder Hmmmm. I made sure to open the files up on my computer in iTunes then made sure to sign in on my phone with the same account on my laptop. Hopefully that’s works for you.

  • Slaylenaalways ɴᴀᴛᴀʟɪᴇ (@Slaylenaalways) reported

    Sorry I’ve been kinda inactive y’all. I saw that you were trying to trend “BUY CALM DOWN REMIX ON ITUNES”. Do y’all still wanna do that?

  • derekcburgess DEREK BURGESS (@derekcburgess) reported from Walthamstow, England

    Does anyone else have issues with @iTunes where u download a song or album & when u go to play it, it comes up as this computer is not authorised to play it? Have had this on a few tracks recently. Considering u have had my money to download it, it shouldn't come up with this

  • xXDibbs xXDibbs "The Right-click and Save As guy" (@xXDibbs) reported

    @midiankai I think he means that Napster was a primitive version of what would ultimately be ITunes / the app store. So while those AI programs in there current form are creating a massive problem. In the future, they'll become something far more useful to society.

  • alfonsotwr 🌄 (@alfonsotwr) reported

    @PioIin While Netflix historically allowed you to sign up for the service on your iPhone,it ditched the iTunes billing in 2018 to avoid paying the commission. Instead, Netflix’s iOS app just provided a sign-in option with no in-app process or link to its website for creating your account

  • Slaylenaalways ɴᴀᴛᴀʟɪᴇ (@Slaylenaalways) reported

    @jaiiitc Let’s get it 🔥🔥🔥 BUY CALM DOWN REMIX ON ITUNES

  • TeddTalkCountry טד לדבר בארץ (@TeddTalkCountry) reported

    @__srnathehuman They took it down quickly. iTunes did.

  • PBRedMango Red Dude Mango (Phantom Blood Archivist guy) (@PBRedMango) reported

    Thinking again about how Sunchaser is probably never gonna get released on BD and feeling ******' sad. Disney also took it down from digital HD platforms too when they bought Fox so that's F U N. I think all that's left is itunes and it's cropped. What a joke.

  • CinematicCase D’Ron (@CinematicCase) reported

    @Milan_Rouge No problem. When you do it in like the right corner of iTunes you should see a little circle start moving. If it doesn’t do it automatically (which I doubt) right click and you should see an option to do it manually.

  • StanleyNVegas StanleyNVegas (@StanleyNVegas) reported

    The Unauthorized R. Kelly album lasted about 2 hrs on iTunes, before it was taken down. I didn’t get to hear it. 😩
