    @beeradmoore I asked in a discord server, apparently this is similar to itunes connect, where you can setup some users to access the beta or whatever apps. "users" here means in itunes connect terms the beta app testers, which in AD means users in the active directory.

    The barbz … a fan base single handily changed the way an entire industry calculate BB entries. Starting w| them taking away gifting as a counted sale down to only 1 sale being counted per card per iTunes account. Thats crazy 😭

  • heymj11 Patricia Dee 🎀🌸🌼🌺🌻🌹🏹 (@heymj11) reported

    @TabiHourly I'm doing YT, Spotify, iTunes, Mubeat and MelOn if I get to figure it out lol. Am still active (not zombie) streaming right this minute. #BIGBANG #BIGBANGISBACK #BIGBANGCOMEBACK Please use twt too, to promote them. Mentions have gone down to hundreds from 500k++ Feb 7 😭

    Yes we all hope that 1989 being taken down from iTunes and Tik Tok is a sign that 1989 tv is coming but... She doesn't own the album, if someone took it down it cannot be her, it must be Shamrock Records, the actual owner of 1989

    @PauuOtero Wahhhh wow! So interesting! This is pretty much standard pricing for a streaming service in the US- a little higher bc this is paid for via iTunes 🙃

  • bizarrojimmyols Bizarro Jimmy Olsen (@bizarrojimmyols) reported

    @stormspeed @iTunes This is the essential problem with digital purchases. You’re not really buying anything you’re just buying the use of it for as long as the seller has rights to it. #physicalmediaforever

  • wemichael59 E Michael Walker (@wemichael59) reported

    @pulte And I fell for it twice I sadly admit. Once they even got my credit card and bought $500 worth of ITUNES cards. I was down and a fool. Sucks I have to admit I fell for it.

  • ColinTrolledYou Colin (@ColinTrolledYou) reported

    @BNightengale the MLBPA probably read it like an ITunes Terms of Service agreement

  • paultguitarist Paul (@paultguitarist) reported

    @JustinF51443033 I’ve posted videos further down my page. I have a demo in my iTunes but for whatever reason I’m not able to post it/share it anywhere

  • Joker_ARC Joe Archer (Spiny Winchester) (@Joker_ARC) reported

    I need an MP3 site, one that's safe (some sites get blocked by my anti-virus program), and isn't just some site that is downloads from YouTube, they have to be as if they were from CD, Amazon or iTunes. The site I have been using isn't working right (search bar is broken).

  • NickixRih678 BarbieXRiRiGo Stream and Buy DWHAP & Bussin (@NickixRih678) reported

    @newotmnm @lakeishaminaj @NICKIMINAJ I think we are still going to get radio play but in and the meantime keep on streaming and buying do we have a problem so we can be stable on iTunes and Apple Music & Spotify because we are slowly going Down

  • KeepEmGuesing 🅱️a🅱️y (@KeepEmGuesing) reported

  • i4coo alana 🎠 (@i4coo) reported

    what if jjk1 is taken down? this is crazy even for a webtoon ost set a record with number 1 itunes in 100 countries

  • EvilAppetite Evil Appetite (@EvilAppetite) reported

    @ThatEricAlper I know right? I had that problem once. I decided to rip all of my cds and albums to mp3. Lossless. I then connected my computer to my Nvidia Shield Pro, which in turn is connected to my stereo. Open iTunes and play on random.

    @SUHAS_PV Hey! We apologize for the trouble. We request you to please update the app to the latest version and follow the below steps to activate your account as the subscription is purchased via iTunes.Go to More Click on My Account Click on Restore Purchases. Hope this information helps!

  • downpressor Chris Israel Barker (@downpressor) reported

    @Peckitt @jakeadelstein The Apple iTunes Store has a limit of 5 devices which can be authorized at one time. You have to deauthorize the older devices. That may be the problem.

  • PwnySlaystation Modus Pwnens (@PwnySlaystation) reported

    @catovitch Every time the internet was up, I'd download as many episodes of Seinfeld on iTunes that I could before it went down again lol

  • dragthebird Vanity// DWHAP ⁉️ (@dragthebird) reported

    WE NEED TO BUY DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM ON ITUNES BUSSIN IS STABLE WE DON’T NEED A BIG FALL OFF OF THE CHARTS NEXT WEEK

  • stormspeed Carlin (@stormspeed) reported

    The @itunes store has swindled me out of an album I bought less than two years ago. No longer in my library and there’s no record of purchase. Except the receipt they emailed me. But I go to report a problem and there’s no option to fix this. I’d like my $10 back.

  • edwinstonejr Edi Stone (@edwinstonejr) reported

    @NATEMARAJJ You guys are already letting DWHAP tank. Already falling down iTunes. Why do you care so much about charting well for jus the first week? You guys lack consistency. It makes her look so embarrassing.

  • attentionpour Jae (@attentionpour) reported

    I figured out how to fix the Spotify/JR issue. We pull a 2014 iTunes forced album download debacle, and require every user who wants to listen to just one episode of JRE to listen to the entire Songs of Innocence U2 album first. No skips. Solved it.

    @newotmnm @lakeishaminaj @NICKIMINAJ I think we are still going to get radio play but in the meantime keep on streaming and buying do we have a problem and Bussin so we can be stable on iTunes and Apple Music & Spotify because we are slowly going Down on the charts

  • onikasmiami Wrist Tat Barbie 🌸 (@onikasmiami) reported

    @MIKEYZOLANSKI @PrettyFace1__ I’m sayin though. They’re trying to knock Nicki down and in anyway shape or form. We need to use this as motivation to get #Bussin to #1 on AM and iTunes again. Weird that that girl and j*n are following each other

    I figured out how to fix the Spotify/JR issue. We pull a 2014 iTunes forced album download debacle, and require every user who wants to listen to just one episode of JRE to listen to the entire Songs of Innocence U2 album first. No skips, before every episode. Nailed it.

    Friendly reminder that the units you see on Digital Sales Data ARE NOT the actual units a country has in iTunes. Those numbers shown are just VERY scaled down comparatives. Don’t take that as actual information of the numbers.

  • waitingforJJK1 Follow Jk on Spotify 🌃🌙👑 Stay Alive (@waitingforJJK1) reported

    @AmericaJungkook The problem is we only have itunes and we are not sure how % accurate it is. For Amazon we just need to buy and have faith 😭

  • silvergelpen j 🌬️ (@silvergelpen) reported

    @NotABigJerk Once I bricked a MacBook playing Sims 3 and skyping my friend at the same time. Lost my entire itunes library right after MediaFire went down I was pissed

  • crisisangelwolf ⩤•⩥ Rasachi ⩤•⩥ Starset Fanatic ⩤•⩥ (@crisisangelwolf) reported

    After nearly three years of not having access to my iTunes as it had "broken" in transition to my new computer, it took me all of an hour to fix it all and have everything in place and working again. Geez, I wish everything was this easy...at 3AM.

  • ___klassy Baba Klassy (@___klassy) reported

    @mbachidi3 @shugarcoatedB U nor need insult baba.. I nor dey use Atm card i dey buy itunes card.. how i do my things nor be ur problem.. besides i have both apple music, and Spotify and even audiomack.. but cause u can pay for everything on ur phone doesn’t not mean people who can’t pay for music are less

  • heymj11 Patricia Dee 🎀🌸🌼🌺🌻🌹🏹 (@heymj11) reported

    @CALLMEKWONGIRL Oh wait! My idea of streaming was to make the playlist and listen on my own.. do you have the apps? Which ones do you use? Spotify, iTunes/Apple Music? YouTube is available but you must sign in.
