    @theCaseyRoberts @screaminpoptart Like making you install iTunes on everything you own isn't useless? Not being able to control what you want to use and forcing their software down your throat is better?

  • jeremysaffer jeremy saffer (@jeremysaffer) reported

    @madone619 Hey man. Is Ghetto Gladiator ever going to be available on iTunes/Tidal/etc? Otherwise looks like I'm spending 60-100 bucks hunting down a copy of the CD! Thanks

    @kellyclarkson watching the voice review tonite reminded me how much the show producers let the fans down by nuking the battles recordings from itunes They robbed the fans and the artists of some special moments over the cost. What a disappointment That was how i voted they lose

  • RonniDarkko ThiefInTheNight (@RonniDarkko) reported

    @GinaGrad Do yourself and everyone who listens to @AdamCarollaShow a favor and tell them to turn your goddamn mic down. Your obnoxious voice gives me a ****** headache. I’m not the only one. Not even close. Read the iTunes reviews.

  • Kimie_VT Kimie 💀 Grim Reaper VTuber (@Kimie_VT) reported

    @KiramekiRiri You may have to do that.. I had an issue where my pc stopped detecting my phone. I had to load up itunes and make sure itunes detected my phone. The apple service had stopped working which is whats needed for the phone to communicate to the pc

  • melisolune 𝔸 ˢⁱˡˡʸ 𝓜 (@melisolune) reported

    N & I seriously went down the rabbit hole of getting songs we haven't been able to access in a while. While we're on trips? Especially on the road? We usually store MP3s-4s on a device and then aux cable it the ol' fashioned way. It's a good thing that iTunes had a low-key sale.

  • markjgardner Mark Gardner (@markjgardner) reported from Houston, Texas

    VERY disappointed to learn that I need yet another ******* streaming service (@AMCPlus) to watch new episodes of #DoctorWho. I already have @HBOMax which has series 1-12 but it was unclear they would NOT have 13. Will probably end up buying a season pass à la carte from @iTunes.

  • TheCaliSt0ner HC | TheCaliSt0ner (@TheCaliSt0ner) reported

    I tried to update apex on steam and got a disk write error. It’s now caused a few other problems on my pc. My iTunes won’t open and says some of the files are missing. Obs opens and then closes on its own. I try to open steam settings and it’s just a black box 1/2

  • donyabayrami Donya Bayrami (@donyabayrami) reported

    At its peak of 70 million users, the startup was forced to shut down. Eventually, the industry brokered a distribution deal when iTunes Music Store came into the picture. Think how the music industry would be different if labels embraced new tech 20 years ago?

    @Roblox @DavidBaszucki I've contacted Roblox assistant's many of times but are no help w/mentioning something Abt "iTunes" I've replied many of times how that aint the prob an the problem with the 2-step verification but obviously that's not gonna be any help so it'd be nice if I can find a way to

  • TrueIroningMan Ironing Man (@TrueIroningMan) reported

    @MollyMcKnokkers Nah, just nobody remembered the itunes acct info, and we didn't know which email had been tied to it. The trouble with letting your 10 year old play with your tablets you aren't using anymore.

  • MollyMcKnokkers 👀Molly McKnokkers 👀 (@MollyMcKnokkers) reported

    @TrueIroningMan Oh no! Did your iTunes account get compromised? I should probably check all of my accounts and make sure I have my login info backed up and updated. I honestly don’t know what I would do if I was locked out of anything I really need access to.

  • KiramekiRiri MahouShoujoRiri 🌸✨ (@KiramekiRiri) reported

    @Kimie_VT Somehow I made it work!! I tried turning the server on and off on both ends as well as scanning again for the IP a few times. Worked out somehow but jeez, that wasn't an easy one LOL And thankyou, I'll keep that in mind! I logged back in to my itunes as well to make sure!

  • BarristerNF Neil Fawcett (@BarristerNF) reported

    @HuntedTeamNick I'm making progress in my man down the pub understanding of it. Time, I think I get, for pint purposes. As in, we're not on an itunes-style timeline, or even relative "timelines"-- it's an effect of stuff happening, and if stuff didn't happen, it wouldn't have meaning.

  • colincornaby Colin Cornaby (@colincornaby) reported

    Trying to upgrade a purchased iTunes album to lossless in Apple Music: - Apple Music just displays an error whenever I try to show the album in Apple Music (and I know they have it) - Show in iTunes takes me to the wrong album Frustrating.

  • sxssboy Jamal (@sxssboy) reported

    @Da_Snake_19 plug your phone to your pc and hold the volume down and power button, if you have itunes on your pc you could try updating your phone from there and that should work

  • smwarren33 Sean Warren (@smwarren33) reported

    @AppleSupport I bought the “Let It Be Super Delux” album on iTunes. All the other songs play just fine. Just this one is not working. I tried deleting the album from my phone and re-installing it, but still no good.

  • matlewis9 mat lewis (@matlewis9) reported

    @JimStoppani @GoldsGym not happy with the Jim Stoppani app after using it for just over a month,it’s stopped letting me access the app because of a subscription issue,however iTunes are still taking the subscription amount off me.What a rip off!!!

  • colincornaby Colin Cornaby (@colincornaby) reported

    So basically my version of the album I'm hauling around is still being fulfilled by iTunes even though it's not in circulation any more. Which is nice I guess, but Apple Music still errors whenever I try to get back to the iTunes Store or Apple Music to see the album.

  • tanyaphillips18 i've had it (@tanyaphillips18) reported

    It appears my internet is down so I literally can't do anything. Not because I'm so dependant on it but because every program now relies on nonstop connectivity. I was loading iTunes and now I'm stuck in a loop.

  • cynicswiss M D Roy (@cynicswiss) reported

    @DriveTeslaca I'd rather have an Apple Music login... all my music is in iTunes...

  • rgriff Rob Griffiths (@rgriff) reported

    @Apple3Forever I don't use iTunes Match either. My phone was set to wifi sync with my Mac; I've now turned that off to see if that's the problem.

  • AFricke TicalEX (@AFricke) reported

    so how does ITunes Charts work? So when an album comes out and people start buying it, some program starts keeping record of units sold and artists move up / down list? In real time?
