  • LLCoolA60 Good if it ghost! 👻🏀 (@LLCoolA60) reported

    @AngelStrange54 It wants me to login to see it. No Faceplant acct. (my old acct and computer got hacked yrs ago and still held for ransom: 300.00 in iTunes!?!🤬 Bastard! Facebook was of NO help. Zuck can suck it.)

  • DominicCarterLA Dominic Carter (@DominicCarterLA) reported

    A "date created" column in iTunes (Apple Music Player) would solve so many problems. We can never fresh start w/ our library files because importing 133,000 tracks end up saying they all were added the same day. @AppleSupport

  • TenguSnake TenguSnake (@TenguSnake) reported

    There used to be a clause in iTunes' terms of service that said you're not allowed to use iTunes to build missiles or nuclear weapons.

  • PiaToscano Pia Toscano (@PiaToscano) reported

    @benjaminjon92 Yes! Unfortunately we are having a technical issue with @iTunes and @AppleMusic that have been trying to get resolved over the past few days. My team is working hard to get it sorted asap. So disappointed

  • Vistor92 Víctor 🌌 🕰🌙 (@Vistor92) reported

    @MeritxellC13 Hahaha itunes is like a store where you buy digital songs and apple music is a streaming service like spotify, you pay a subscription and listen all you want, I used to think it was the same thing too haha

  • oyasumiimi 👑 von likes junkan (@oyasumiimi) reported

    @kokoronansensu Trust me i’m working on it hfjshd i think i’m like 7 away from getting the first rank for kaiden. I truly cannot go down without farming as much as i can for these crystals Yeah it’s about 20 bucks and half the time i have money in my itunes account leftover anyway 🤷

  • DefaultUserOne Hector De Jesus (@DefaultUserOne) reported

    @thedarkhours I hate commercials so I buy the entire season on iTunes. No commercials and no need for a live TV service. I do the same with Rick and Morty.

  • Madders_YT Madders (@Madders_YT) reported

    You know how you buy music on iTunes? Well, what if Apple make a music label and connect it to iTunes. You can buy the rights to **use** specific songs in online media without coming across copyright issues. To do this you connect your iTunes account to your YT/Twitch/IG 🤔🤔🤔

  • reallykylebaker Kyle Baker (@reallykylebaker) reported

    @215Pownz @icecube @iTunes It’s not Apple (or Google Play, or whatever). It’s whoever owns the digital rights no longer making them available or the streaming service not reaching an agreement to carry the intellectual property.

  • _andeborg_ Maverique Ghoti 🫰 (@_andeborg_) reported

    trying to see if masaharu fukuyama's song zero is available on itunes (I want and need it!), but as soon as I click on his name to get to his page, itunes tells me I can't do ****. is itunes down? does itunes just hate me?

  • GraymaneShadow Graymane Shadow (@GraymaneShadow) reported

    So far things have gone well, but the first major snag definitely appeared - the supporting App Store/iTunes Music Store infrastructure is definitely…rotted out. Far as I can tell I can’t load any books with the Books app, can’t redownload music or apps. Maybe it’s a cert issue.

  • Gavceltic67 Gavin Courtney (@Gavceltic67) reported

    @EnzoMaguire Sorry, iTunes charts.....apologies for my error

  • markpricetri markpricetri (@markpricetri) reported

    @GoZwift did you solve the issue of renewed memberships bought through iTunes not registering on the app? I’ve seen related problems from 2 years ago, and I’ve just encountered it again. How do I fix this as I’ve now lost 2 days where I couldn’t train after paying.

  • AptaMusic Apta (@AptaMusic) reported

    @odubhda Haha. No, that's not me. An error in the iTunes auto-find algorithm it looks like.

  • Naa_momo_laryea Naa Momo 🤍🇬🇭 (@Naa_momo_laryea) reported

    @1nickiminajfan_ @NICKIMINAJ Barbz imagine taking super freaky girl back to number 1 on iTunes?? Or we go up?? Or even do we have a problem??

  • RemaStats REMA STATS🦇 (@RemaStats) reported

    .@heisrema & @selenagomez’ “Calm Down” re-enters iTunes Top 100, US 🇺🇸.

  • BigDickDaddy68 Mike Lowrey (@BigDickDaddy68) reported

    @icecube @iTunes @TIDAL doesn’t have those issues

  • GraymaneShadow Graymane Shadow (@GraymaneShadow) reported

    Some mixed success grabbing a few things. The stores are definitely having issues recognizing some old purchases - books especially. The good news is that I’ve got old hardware around with legacy app-supporting iTunes installed, so I may be able to sideload stuff.

  • thedarkhours Grey (@thedarkhours) reported

    @Lake_MoRR1s I know!! What is that service even for!? 1st season is on there but not the new one? You can't even purchase the season on iTunes or anything

  • _TeeKayOhh 👑T E E K A Y👑 (@_TeeKayOhh) reported

    @major_pain88 @ItsJonesii__Bby The problem is SFG is literally sitting at the top of RAP charts. It is listed on iTunes Spotify and Tidal as a RAP song. How do y’all not see the issue?!?

  • didsge did school for good and evil get released today? (@didsge) reported

    @putrihatmi spotify, presumably on itunes/apple music/google play etc. if you don’t have a subscription service and can’t buy it, it’s also on youtube i believe :)

  • Rcheatle2011 Robert W Cheatle (@Rcheatle2011) reported

    @Staralul @NameWasntTaken_ @dinosaurs1969 Apple Music has been on pc, you just download iTunes and sign in

  • ScottSw26971587 Scott Swain (@ScottSw26971587) reported

    @moises_ai I can no longer access iTunes purchases. Song downloaded and purchased. Library is shared. Was not a problem a month ago. Ios16? I am subscriber.

  • JT_Osborn John Osborn (@JT_Osborn) reported

    @WilliamsonNFL downloading your podcast on iTunes takes several attempts not sure why don't have that problem with any others.

  • neurojojo Jo M 😷 (@neurojojo) reported

    Sad to me how Apple silently and totally shut down iTunes U last year, leaving the public without a central place to find thousands of pre-recorded audio/video lectures. MIT's OpenCourseWare still exists..(1/6)

  • DominicCarterLA Dominic Carter (@DominicCarterLA) reported

    I'm trying to solve a major problem that slowed my iTunes (Apple Music player) to a crawl. I tried creating a new library w/ same music files (133K) & no playlists. Works like it should. But I lose "Date Added" which is major. Need help @AppleSupport Y don't we have date created?

  • Mantia Louie Mantia, Jr. (@Mantia) reported

    Which has the side effect of… not being able to upload to the iTunes Match service. So I can’t get it onto my phone. Enter Doppler, by @edwellbrook. It’s a terrific macOS app with a convenient iOS counterpart. Both support all the fun file formats like this and FLAC too.

  • poemproducer AGF*: audıo ρoé†ﻉ$š (@poemproducer) reported

    @aayyluu I have a language problem, my spanish is **** and I bought on itunes and they only have swedish and finnish subtitles... so 30% is missing... sure I like it
