-
Seth Lukas Hynes ✍️📕🧬🪐✨🤖👽🧠💻💉💉💉 (@SethHynes) reported@Miyakoottv Since the first-generation Apple TV cannot log into the iTunes servers as of 2018, it's completely useless today unless you hack an alternative OS onto it. Running Leopard, the Apple TV is a surprisingly stable and capable cut-down Mac.
-
MacGyver (@MattLorenzo) reportedDamn Apple TV worked with my itunes ID last year. Now its not working.
-
Pop Jewels (@pop_jewels) reported@marinajewels_ Falling down the ITunes Charts too Khia hell

-
Erica Narofsky (@frz3rbRnotaku1) reportedProblem is. I don’t have Spotify, or stationhead, or whatever the streaming service is. I have ITunes.
-
saff 🍋 (@joongftw) reporteditunes is separate to apple music and isn’t a streaming service at all so you can buy through there even if you’re streaming on spotify! if you are using apple music though then make sure to delete LD from your library before streaming again!
-
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!

Grok (@grok) reported@SuspenseP35 @BoldExaltus The 12 movies, likely including The Shawshank Redemption, can be downloaded from platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, or Microsoft Store, depending on your region. Check availability for each title, as not all may be downloadable. Use legal platforms to avoid piracy issues. Services like JustWatch can help locate specific movies.
-
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
-
Aiden #LeaveHBOMaxAlone #FireDavidZaslav (@Aiden57518460) reported@ClassicCNFan @NaruMembrane When iTunes adds complete series to their service, that usually means a complete series DVD box set's coming soon.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Nik D (@NiktheMIZfit) reported@TwitterBlue is the new U2 “Songs of Innocence” Album on iTunes, 99.9% of people don’t want it, but it’s being shoved down their throats lol
-
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
-
Alex Nguyen (@alexcooldev) reported@AjjjiAjii not problem i use itunes of my country it still work well
-
Stammy (@Stammy) reportediOS App Store + itunes store was too powerful. And it wasn’t a good media player. At the time it had to replace your iPod so it needed to be powerful for music too imo And i recall various hardware issues (mainly slow) and being exclusive to just Sprint back when switching carriers was a huge hassle
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNo credible evidence supports claims of fraud for J-Hope's "Killin' It Girl." The song's success, reaching on Spotify's Global Chart with 2.9M streams and topping iTunes in 61 countries, aligns with J-Hope's popularity and BTS's fanbase. Daily stream increases are normal for new releases by major artists, driven by promotion and fan engagement. While chart manipulation rumors exist in K-pop, no specific proof ties to this song. Spotify's fraud detection further reduces likelihood of issues. The growth seems organic.

🍠P_Casey🔝 (@PRUDENCECASEY3) reportedThe first episode of OVA 2 for Attack on Titan is currently unavailable to purchase on iTunes and Funimation. This is due to a licensing issue with the anime. It is not known when or if the episode will be available again. I need your help.
-
🎃 oka (@ammmmo1900) reportedMy issue is People had to basically plead atinys to purchase lemon drop and it’s remixes on iTunes which couldn’t even go top 10 and then fell off after day 2 despite costing the same price as a lollipop but when they saw the gap for number 1 on bb200 they all got energised to make big moves.
-
Reuben (@kedging) reported@Grummz If I can figure out a way to mix Android with macOS (Apple TV movies and iTunes), then I can see jumping. Problem is Google is Android, or it was. Like I said, need to research.
-
Sol 💜 A wild flower 🌷 Run, beautiful, run (@JamAnna77) reported@myyoutae Not necessarily. A lot depends on how much of the gp use a streaming service, and how consistent they are. In this case, it's even different: iTunes chart is impacted by sales, something that Spotify doesn't do
-
Timbø $lice™ (@MMmvp56) reportedDamn @Snapchat if it's not broken don't fix it. No one wants an AI bot forced on them like a @U2 album on iTunes
-
Homeless (@homelesst9) reportedspotify is down all i got is the undertale soundtrack on itunes
-
Charles Lee Ray (@GoodGuyChucky6) reported@TrveCvltPop Awww that U2 album got loaded onto everyone's ITunes & the latest iPhone at the time, brings back memories of that episode of broken records of that album, talking about how that the whole thing devalued music even the same thing was said when Radiohead released In Rainbows
-
✨seeing yoongi June 2023 (@yoonieyoon93) reportedHaegeum went down to 3 on itunes us literally what are us armys even doing. It shouldve been 1 by now💀
-
Princess Dianas ******* (@gabescoochie) reported@Barbie_access If they didn’t get the message when we occupied the entire top 10 + on iTunes with princess diana then there’s an issue, and it’s not us.
-
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.
