iTunes Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • realmrpippy Brendan Shanks (@realmrpippy) reported

    @olson_dan Not exactly; they don’t give you any access to music you’ve purchased on an Android device. Use iTunes on Windows or Mac, I think it’s all DRM-free. The music service is totally separate.

  • mrburkemath Chris Burke (@mrburkemath) reported

    I tried burning a CD using Media Player and it failed and then I got an error in iTunes Now it seems that my D: drive has disappeared The CD-Rom (built-in to the computer) isn't showing up in File Explorer and I don't know how to get it back.

  • aceventura8790 steph (@aceventura8790) reported

    @AmazonHelp That's the problem - there is no 'cancel' button. it just says go to itunes which i've already told a bunch of you that i didn't subscribe thru itunes so i don't get how i'm supposed to cancel this.

  • Botman091 Mystix (@Botman091) reported

    @JaedenPike999 @Mapowastaken @FallenLeaks When you go into iTunes go to browse and scroll all the way down to top charts and click it

  • Teirrahefe ig:@teirrahhair (@Teirrahefe) reported

    @Erhiskobi It is permanently disabled . Felt in water and the glitch started and it imputed wrong passwords till it disabled itself . So now it says connect to iTunes . Problem is I have never done a back up hence my reason for asking how to back up externally before

  • Aurain26 Aurain (@Aurain26) reported

    I want to listen to The GazettE now. Could have sworn I bought some of their tracks before but I can’t find them in my library. Maybe I bought the files off a different music service (currently use iTunes) 🤔

  • thebougieauntie savannah jackson (@thebougieauntie) reported

    @_braaaxxx24 I also was searching for the preachers wife. But I guess I’m gone have to break own down and buy them on iTunes.

  • pluvillion lowan / Kiitos, Kimi!!! (@pluvillion) reported

    @mikeylordasf and here i am making sure i get all the metadata right down to the composers just so they look like i bought them legally. thank the heavens for mp3tag and itunes bc i wouldn't wanna get caught with "unknown artist - unknown album" while walking around

  • DaBullIt Very Angry Nigerian #EndPoliceBrutality #SoroSoke (@DaBullIt) reported

    @harrisonmbamara Different strokes for different folks They declare some people wanted, never arrest them or break their doors down, but helpless bitcoin iTunes Boys collect beatings and loose their valuable properties

  • iamjoelectrick JoeLectrick 🤖 (@iamjoelectrick) reported

    Just downloaded 10 wav files from Beatport, seemed to have no metadata because when I put them into iTunes, no artist name or anything. Anyone else have this issue, that the artist name doesn't come up on their tracks when they're looking to spin them into a mix?

  • XxeenonZ XxeenonZ (@XxeenonZ) reported

    Is it just me or is iTunes a garbage program? Feel like I have issues with it every time I start it up.

  • RVotsir Rotkiv Votsir (@RVotsir) reported

    @Madonna_Chart Its going down on itunes though 😕

  • alan_fract Alan Fract (@alan_fract) reported

    Jomon... The iTunes store is not working again! The cocoons will come back Star Trek unless you fix this! We'll give you some time but you must fix this! We have more music to upload to iTunes that Alan will download! It is imperative the store works!

  • Chiranjeev100 Chiranjeev Gorur (@Chiranjeev100) reported

    @satishchinni Hi I also have the same problem. Was it resolved by them?? Actually not only iCloud subscription but even iTunes purchase or anything is failing

  • TPKingAuthor Thomas P. King, Author & Game designer (@TPKingAuthor) reported

    Amazing. The song info volume adjuster in iTunes doesn't work anymore (downloaded the song too). Apple stuff continues to randomly break down. 50-50 if it will ever work again.

  • catrionapalooza Catriona (@catrionapalooza) reported

    @Marco__V Unfortunately the problem is arising from the fact I only have a laptop with a 120gb SSD and thus too small to practically keep all the music I want to have on it, and no CD drive. Convincing itunes that I'm storing its library on an external HD is nigh impossible.

  • ARlTAE berry (@ARlTAE) reported

    is itunes stuck.. the number of sales keeps going down slowly when it doesn't even make sense cause it hasn't even been 24 hours yet

  • SlippySlapperz The Black Forces Seal (@SlippySlapperz) reported

    Does anyone know how to make a dedicated nas server for iTunes that can reach all over the world for when I travel? I have $3000 to put towards it. I can’t use Spotify because it’s $10 a month.

  • h4ndsofmidas h7⁷SUGAxJUICEWRLD (@h4ndsofmidas) reported

    GOMD WENT DOWN TO #2 ON US ITUNES, PLEASE BUY BOTH VERSIONS

  • liIgoogie 😵‍💫 (@liIgoogie) reported

    @PeggsTaylor2 i connected my phone to my laptop and opened itunes. connected my phone to itunes and let it sit. then i dont remember what i did after that. thats the only thing that worked for me it took it all the way down to like 6GB. theres probably an article somewhere explaining it better

  • BytownPhoto Mitchell (@BytownPhoto) reported

    To be fair, I have a screen cap from 2013 of my itunes (when I still had my library) of that version of the album where I say it had consumed me, and I had a tweet about.. (I believe) you caught the light, and down side of me, to them, which they engaged with, before w/e this is.

  • hashtag_daz Darren Scharneck (@hashtag_daz) reported

    @SpinnupCom my release is late on @AppleMusic and @iTunes despite submitting on time. Furthermore there is no after service or support to escalate? Being referred to FAQs is not sufficient.

  • ildrewvenire Drew (@ildrewvenire) reported

    @SirBoyyo Indeed; iTunes is the second best (cropping isn’t as drastic and doesn’t seem to be present in every episode). The only issue with DVD is the audio on volume 4 disc three is messed up so much of season 5 sounds slightly off.

  • dogfetus Joni Mitchell chart data (@dogfetus) reported

    @LanaDel_Sley the older stuff is out either bc she was releasing music herself before she got a real record deal, and then she did and she put out an album, it was on iTunes, got taken down all before born to die OR it’s from when her laptop/its files got stolen/hacked i can’t remember.

  • deeremerson Deer (@deeremerson) reported

    @iTunes I’ve purchased two songs on your store and you’re not sending me the appropriate files. Your help page is down on the Apple website what’s a DJ supposed to do? Lol

  • wbbertling W. Bradley 🌹🌻 🧵 💯😷✊🏻 (@wbbertling) reported

    I mean I can’t even buy it on iTunes or Amazon. Y’all remember that meme where we’d post a pic of some terrible movie that we’re probably the biggest fan of? That movie: it me. I’m about ready to dig out the old VCR and find a magnetic copy of it on eBay.

  • 5thMustered Laurie⁷ (@5thMustered) reported

    @lotte_borahae I noticed that girl of my dreams was #30 on AM but #1 on iTunes so I looked it up and AM is a ~streaming service~ (akin to Spotify) and iTunes is a ~media player~ where you can play music you have purchased. I think there must be some overlap. I dunno, I just poke the 🎵 icon

  • megaclang Even if you hate it dude you gotta respect it (@megaclang) reported

    @Dentonppm Perhaps this makes me a mark but I just rent everything on iTunes for $3.99. I refuse to get bogged down in the bullshit I have $4 it’s fine.

  • OlayKnowless Ólayinka🇳🇬 (@OlayKnowless) reported

    Who knows how to correct mp3 files? Been trying to add some live audios to my iTunes library and it’s not working 😭

  • kasaiknight01 Alyssa Morgan (@kasaiknight01) reported

    @benjammn79 @paramountplus It might be due to the area you live in. Sometimes a show or movie would be blocked on copyright grounds due to a regional area. Or something like that. I know it’s a problem with iTunes. YouTube is probably the same.
