  Damn @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

  Starving Artist (@blerghhh) reported 53 seconds ago

  @MaccabiTrader @psac_afpc They also in the same call offer to clean my air-ducts and help with my windows licences. This is a marked improvement in service! The only catch is that they ask me to buy iTunes gift cards from my local Wallgreens requiring an international border crossing.

  @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.

  @LucasGageX @GozukaraFurkan It won't work on iTunes Apple would shut it down fast

  @ronnieplonk I read! I have a couple of songs by the Leaves on my iTunes (yes, I'm that Boomer! 😝) but I need to down load more based on that thread.

  Can we make it easier to get custom ringtones and alert tones? I have no problem purchasing them, but the current State of the iTunes Store is pretty bad. @iTunes @Apple @AppleSupport

  @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

  Why is the Music app on Mac unable to play albums gapless? Apple solved this problem in iTunes 20 years ago @tim_cook

  @shrimpscorpse @wannarockwithm3 @PopBase Exactly that's part of the joke cause someone literally burned a rep CD cause it knocked Miley down on iTunes. 😭 Mind you, you can't even buy rep on her site right now. 😭

  @Interredd @King1FoReal @Mo_Magoda Problem is these companies itunes/Spotify take almost 50% of the fee and artist like Zonke are not studio artist,they make use sessional musicians when they record so from the 50% they they need to pay these sessional musicians/studio time etc not making much from everything

  Two discounted songs have temporarily bumped #TypeDangerous down on iTunes. Keep buying Lambs!

  @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

  I 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.

  No 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.

  @iheartmindy I've had to cough-up money for a couple of pound store reading glasses earlier this year 'cos I was starting to have trouble seeing prices on my iTunes wishlist (e.g. struggle to see the difference between £5.99 or £3.99) + the clock on the Windows taskbar + OTP codes on me phone

  @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.

  I have had a few issues with my jailbreak since upgrading to Palera1n. The first time it happened, I was using Cydia Impactor and my phone would just randomly turn off. After running some diagnostics, I found out that my battery was at 0% so I restored it using iTunes.

  First, some context. By early 2004, the iPod had become the world's most popular music player. Over 2 million units sold. 30 million songs downloaded from iTunes. But Apple faced a massive problem:

  The 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.
