    @xxcaseyjones See now this is another problem. There are so many options like this and it's hard to know which to go with. (A friend said he hasn't paid for iTunes/movies/etc for years)

    @MelBrooks @20thcentury Why is “History of the World, Part I” not available on any streaming service that I can find, or available to buy in iTunes, Amazon Prime, etc?

    @SamGuichelaar @ARX8x ITunes for windows is just terrible all around. I don’t even like to use it to play music from my gaming rig, it’s that terrible

    @boyter I know there is the subscription service. But I was pretty sure iTunes will play MP3s or other music files you already have.

    @AppleTV @Apple @iTunes is it too much to ask for my movies & shows not to buffer every 5 min & then require an app restart?? I pay y’all good money for them & my internet speeds are good, so what gives? I don’t have these problems with other streaming services 👀

  • JulianGriffit16

    @Robin_JTodd @wheeleyd05 @SkyUK When a nice 4K copy is available to buy or rent on iTunes I will gladly pay for it. Just not a fan of companies like Sky playing the monopoly..and I get it as Sky is in trouble losing customers due to streaming like Netflix but unless ur really into football it’s very expensive

    *me, trying to download an app on my new work #iPhone* AppStore:Sign in to authorize transaction. AppStore: This apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes store. Tap review to sign in and review your account information. Rinse and repeat.

    @spot5 I signed up for a free trial with AppleTV, then downloaded iTunes onto my PC, signed into that with my AppleTV login / password, had to reverify, because I was making a purchase, but then...... TA-DA!! #effort

    @ZONEofTECH Tell the truth, Did you break iTunes? it downloaded the wrong song? Is the song downloaded damaged? Lol just asking after all the issues you had with apple products.

    iTunes Match overall feels like an afterthought compared to Apple Music. I think the service would actually be pretty damn good if Apple gave a ****.

    the new iTunes is very terrible. Basically they don't let you drag and drop music into phones from a computer, unless you sync them and have the phone delete all of its downloaded music.

    @9to5mac @filipeesposito Spotify ignoring Apple and the importance of how the iTunes store changed the industry. Yet claims Apple is too big to ignore in its lawsuits. @Spotify please stop shoving podcasts down my throat. Really don’t care to listen to a playlist of podcasts.

    My life really started to go down hill when iTunes stopped doing their weekly free song

    @mercurialblonde Allowing resale of digital things u no longer want. Say you could resell music from your itunes library when you grow out of it and the artist got a cut. Or there is a large issue with the validation of art pieces not being forgeries. Attaching an nft to it can work as a ledger

  • Urspringbear
    -R-ei Scor D ✨ Jeongmihyo Vlive when? (@Urspringbear) reported

    I had trouble finding her on iTunes by myself and ended up having to use the link YGE gave us this isn’t good at all seriously

    @RadioDana Can you login to your account via iTunes and update the information there? If you do it should then allow you to setup the phone using the new info.

    revelacion is out in some countries on spotify but apparently not on itunes ?? why is there always technical issues with every release 😭

    @Mikel_Jollett How is this different than pre-iTunes? What % did artists make when the Beatles were prime? To me, it’s more about big “C” Capitalism and the issues endemic to the model: until the model changes, artists, craftspeople, etc. will always end up on the bottom.

    Our newest cover of ‘willow’ is currently down on @YouTube . We are working on the issue now. In the meantime..... go listen on Spotify / iTunes / Apple Music etc... !!!

    Premiering one of the true OGs, Hipster Hopster, layin' down some bars on his new EP, Hella Hungry. Download it now on iTunes.

    Every time I use an #Apple service on my Windows laptop I feel like they are punishing all the #Windows users out there for not using their devices by offering some outdated softwares like iTunes and online workarounds that simply don’t work. What do you think?

    allhustlenohands (@stevezieskidoo) reported

    @ShuvamRizal @Steven_Hyden As long as we can all are that rap skits are all terrible and every single one hurts the listenability of the album and all were promptly deleted from everyone's itunes collection

    @AppleSupport Hello..I'm a permanent customer at Apple and I am facing a problem..When I update the device, I can no longer use the device even when linked to iTunes(no service) .. Please help as soon as possible, as I cannot access the data on the device..

    @improbablerika I would like to submit for reference the CD @sjzoellick gave me before I left for France but it's no longer in my iTunes library so I will just petition for more Bastille, Passenger and the Postal Service
