iTunes Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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.
-
Lol (@TheLolManOnX) reported@aniealerteht The upload is not working properly; no credits display on iTunes at all. Go check or fix that before things get messy.

᧔࿔᧓ 𝕆𝕟𝕚𝕜𝕒’𝕤 𝕄𝕚𝕒𝕞𝕚 ໒꒰ྀི ˶ᵔ ³ ᵔ˶ ꒱ྀིა (@onikasmiami) reportedThey down play being #1 on iTunes (an artist generating pure revenue from the interest around their brand mind you) cuz the last 20 btch3s who dropped weren’t able to do it. Can’t even break even on ROI bc their label too busy buying placements forcing ppl to have interest 😭
-
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.
-
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
-
JoeCat ® (@JoeCattt) reportedremember when you could buy music videos on itunes? $1.99, yours forever. I played the ones I paid for. now i’m just waiting— to see if UMG forgets we had a contract. what happens if they take down what I own?
-
🤍💜 Scythe of Luna 💜🤍 (@scythe_of_luna) reportedidk if my music gonna be re/released on apple/itunes, no new releases are live after more than a month passed, also I can't login into my artist account cuz my phone number is "NOT OK". ********. who cares about apple anyway. Spotify is the way <3
-
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.
-
Stuffed Burrito Entertainment (@StuffedBurritoE) reportedOh my gosh, #AppleMusic is so trash. I'm on a free trail, and the **** barely works. I mean, I guess you need to use it on an Apple product 'cause I can't log into itunes on my PC, it won't log into my Roku. Anyone else have issues with Apple Music?

Tariq | The 𝕏 Investor (@Tariq_investor) reported$SPOT Think back to when Spotify was just that small music app fighting against iTunes and trying to make streaming a thing. Fast forward to now, and they've built this massive platform with close to 700 million users. The wild part? All those risky moves they made with podcasts, AI, and ads are actually working out. They're not content being just a music service anymore. Spotify wants to dominate everything you listen to, and they're making it happen. Their latest move with AI-powered advertising is pretty smart—small businesses can now create their own ads without breaking the bank. That means more revenue coming in beyond what we pay for Premium. What strikes me most is how devoted their users are. While $AAPL and $AMZN treat music like just another feature in their massive ecosystems, Spotify really nails the personal touch. Their recommendations feel like they're reading your mind, and they actually support creators in meaningful ways. That's why people stick around, especially the younger crowd that discovered music through the app. The tech giants are still trying to muscle in, and ad revenue isn't always predictable, but Spotify's position is way stronger—debt-free with solid cash flow.

Himanshu Dhrangad🇮🇳 (@dhrangad) reported@AbhishekMarkets I would say that most people use iPhone because it is easy to upgrade. In android there is no full backup option like itunes that backs up passwords, notes and logins also. If you think you know some free apps that backup whole android (u can exclude login) let me know

✨twilight sparkle✨ (@TwiIySparky) reported@Sevo6xHPnVaRvbl @woah_pinkhorse @torako_tiger most likely or a rendering error from the itunes version
-
perrohunter (@perrohunter) reported@1000kilobytes I'm starting to believe it's futile, I've been opening radar issues since 2015 about iTunes (now Music) library management, and the bugs are still there 10 years later
-
E|BROWNING 🛍️ Temu promoter 📩 (@EasterB55421588) reportedI have an iPhone 13 Pro and it's been having trouble connecting to iTunes. It connects to my computer just fine, but iTunes refuses to work.
-
𝒫𝓇𝒾𝓃𝒸𝑒 ✧ (@thebarbiebtx) reportedMaybe the Barbz should make our own streaming service/chart system. All we need is people relying and using it like Billboard and ITunes Charts, right? What makes Billboard official and not sound cloud charting unofficial? Artist? Money? Business? Nicki alone can launch this ****
-
SHANGHAI-NGAI🎀 (@ngaiii_) reported@QCWorldwide The problem with the barbz they don't wanna push songs post first week, like they want princess diana @ 1 for the first week then go cold that's all they don't push songs after first week chart I mean look at alone it hasn't reached 1 on itunes yet,no promo and buying parties
-
Qrow ❤️🔥 | just escaped the Hells | ❤️🔥 (@aSinisterQrow_) reportedis anyone else's VTube Studio just NOT working correctly ?? i can only be in my model for an hour before the framerate DROPS to ****** 2 fps -- i cant use VTS at all unless i KEEP ITunes open the entire time i using it . i have to connect and reconnect 75 times every time .
-
Adam Seymour (@ASeymour1878) reported@Joel_CP_70 @FBAwayDays "Terrible" song got to number 1 on iTunes btw
-
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
-
Christopher Price (@chrisprice) reportedBonjour for Windows Print Service largely is sunset. Apple hasn't updated it and no longer ships it with clean iTunes installs. Apple has moved away from iTunes too. A testament to it is that Apple only had to update it a few times in over a decade, whereas UPnP received literally thousands of (critical) Windows security updates. Bonjour may no longer be needed for new Windows printers, but it remains useful for older printers with drivers no longer maintained. Bonjour itself has succeeded UPnP, which now Microsoft largely relegates to... You guessed it, printing.
-
ابوو داحم (@_xl_p) reported@n1g4tt4 Every time I try to run the tool, I get the following error on Windows 10 — even though I have the latest version of iTunes installed: Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E The specified module could not be found ('iTunesMobileDevice.dll') How can I fix this?
-
Jackie (Weatheronthe8s) (@Weatheronthe8s) reported@NekoMichiUBC I always install the iOS or iPadOS beta on the day of release just for fun. However, I don't recommend it for anybody's main device, or for anybody who can't troubleshoot tech issues. I once had to restore an iPad through iTunes due to a charging issue in a beta...
-
MacGyver (@MattLorenzo) reportedDamn Apple TV worked with my itunes ID last year. Now its not working.
-
Greg Collins (@glcollins) reportedMy biggest issue with the #AppleTV app is that I cannot pick my dealt viewing source. If I purchase something from iTunes, I do not want to watch from a streaming service (due to the commercials). @Apple please fix this. You are making buying something on iTunes less valuable by defaulting to the streaming apps.

Natasha⁷ 💜 is seeing Jin 💜 ⟭⟬ᴱ ᴬᴿᴱ ᴮ⟬⟭ᶜᴷ 💜 (@Natasha40166078) reportedArrhhhhh iTunes won't let me sign in 😭
-
Biez (@BiezusNice) reported@KEMBE_X Man, I don’t even stream - I buy allllll my ****! Physicals, exclusive drops, merch, all’at… Bandcamp (preferably) or iTunes. [****’s actually kinda a problem]
-
eli 🫧 (@studylew) reported@hikkichaeri nooooo u can technically do that if u want w the itunes store but apple music is a normal subscription service just like spotify! it’s £1 more expensive than spotify premium individual iirc
-
|:| Captain Bertègn |:| 🏓🎮🎧 (@LoicArBreizhat) reportedCome on @AppleMusic we are in 2023 ! One does not ask customers to install an anoying app to unsubscribe to a cloud service. I can't AND don't wanna install ITunes on all my devices ! Have a good day though.

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.

𝕋𝕚𝕞𝓇𝒾𝒶𝒽 (@timriah) reportedTwo discounted songs have temporarily bumped #TypeDangerous down on iTunes. Keep buying Lambs!
