    @TwitchiH @coronawarnapp Maybe you can temporarily login to a German account just to get the app (you can have apps "owned" by different iTunes accounts on the same device, I think there's a limit to how many accounts though).

    why can i stream literally anything with no problems, but if i try to listen to the music i BOUGHT on itunes it tells me “request timed out” like dude what request??? don’t i own a digital copy of it???

  • mrpielmorena Jørge Piel Morena (@mrpielmorena) reported

    @stawpfeenin I think the issue is people place so much pressure and expectation singers they want to see succeed. And they think success only means #1 streaming song, tiktok trend, topping iTunes/Billboard charts etc. They don’t like seeing artists experiment on how to express themselves.

  • JoeListComedy Joe List (@JoeListComedy) reported

    @graemeRLtobias Spotify took it off. They’re not into paying artists so they took a bunch of people down. iTunes and Apple Music works I believe

  • Jonathandraaft Draaftlore (@Jonathandraaft) reported

    @Windows by restart OS I meant I turned my PC off and on again. It's not a recognition thing too. It's playing sounds from the settings menu while I trouble shoot this hell. YouTube Music and iTunes can't seem to use them.

    @HYUNJlN19 Bubble App, you can search it on playstore or itunes ig. It's a paid service. You will choose who's idol you will subscribe to, so you will receive whenever they send a message. You can also send them a message.+

    Does anyone know when iTunes started requiring an iTunes Store login to open? Thinking about how this is a kind of user lock-in via data enclosure, and I’d love to find documentation on Apple's evolution from a user-controlled system for music to an Apple-controlled one

  • gldsmrs gil (@gldsmrs) reported

    @Apple OK, this is totally broken. Songs on playlists lost their order/position, it also deleted playlists I've recently created. Sorry, this is unacceptable @apple and the amount of bugginess, albeit being high for years on that specific app, reached a new peak #apple #musicapp #iTunes

  • KevinWa69967278 Kevin Ware (@KevinWa69967278) reported

    @anincogNEGROhoe @raptvcom The iTunes chart that the record was broken on is just a sale record. If an artist has enough devoted fans to purchase their song it can go to number one with less then a 1000 total sales

  • OnikaSavage Do We Have A Problem ⁉️ (@OnikaSavage) reported

    @nickistreamteam Barbz better start to buy the song and #DoWeHaveAProblem too U guys are very lazy Only good in dragging other fanbase for useless things. Get distracted easily why 😭😭😭. Do we have a problem is meant to come back top Top 15 on iTunes and Apple Music too but No busy playing

    @appleforarch When re-launch iTunes after the move hold down option, then choose the new library location. Same as Photos.

  • EliteBurH David Schneider (@EliteBurH) reported

    @ProfessorApple Quick question, i translated your text and the last sentence says „the filza tool developer warns to downgrade from 15.4 to 15.3.1“ can you tell me why? On reddit i read that, 15.3.1 is still signed, so it shouldn’t be a problem to downgrade via itunes and ipsw? What is correct?

  • prettystaysonly lala ☻ ⁺¹ 1 HYUNE DAY (@prettystaysonly) reported

    U.S. stay remember if money is an issue for iTunes our fanbases have funds to support this just reach out to @skz_usa

  • hvdsomp Herbert (@hvdsomp) reported

    @timoreilly Annoys the hell out of me too. My entire iTunes/Music library consists of uploaded CDs or downloaded FLACs (converted to aiff, obviously, because apple). Still, I am repeatedly harassed by login prompts.

  • oddlix a. (@oddlix) reported

    ppl will have no problem when their favs chart on bb but when skz chart there with more sales, streams and better itunes charting suddenly it's all a scam and wrong

  • evillittlebug bug (@evillittlebug) reported

    @Mangosketch THATS SO WEIRD?? How an i just now hearing about this lmao thank you…ill have to try listening on itunes sometime, i just chalked the consistently bad mixing up to cutting corners or something but ive been using spotify ever since they cracked down on the pirated CD rips lol

  • Herbie555 Get Vaxxed (@Herbie555) reported

    @willsmith I just did this 2 months ago. eBay 5th gen classic solves dumb design issue w/ using thumb drives on integrated factory stereo* iPod works great, iTunes still crap. *Large library + re-scanning drive on every start up meant I spent as much time waiting for music as listening

  • jazzdab Incongruous Jazzdab (@jazzdab) reported

    @willsmith @BrittonPeele Do you have existing music on the PC you are looking to manage with iTunes or would you be re-ripping/downloading? I have certain music I can’t stream from any source other than my Plex server. I use Plexamp on the iPhone and in CarPlay.

  • RFTPJF Todd 🅱️onzalez (@RFTPJF) reported

    @Aelkus Steam workshop’s usability problem feels connected to the iTunes-ification of Steam more generally. Over the years the UX has become less intuitive, everything is clunkier, my computer seems to whine more when I try to use it for things other than just “play a game”

  • DocyProcy Mike (@DocyProcy) reported

    @AppleSupport I find it incredibly frustrating to purchase TV shows in iTunes & then constantly get a message to watch through a service like Hulu. If I wanted to do it that way I would not have purchased. As a result I have to scroll through 350 episodes each time.

  • DocyProcy Mike (@DocyProcy) reported

    @AppleSupport The current issue is CSI. All of my devices are Apple. I am trying to watch TV series CSI through my Apple TV. I purchased it on the iTunes Store. In order to watch an episode, I have to scroll through every single episode to get to the current one. Continue on next message
