  Mariah Carey's World (@MCareysWorld) reported 41 seconds ago

  While we wait for @MariahCarey and her team to fix the iTunes issue (listed as an album instead of a single which is why is not appearing on any charts and people can't find it) #TypeDangerous, be sure you grab your copy of the single on Amazon! @MariahAlerts

  @ibuildthecloud Stuff like the Newton is the obvious counterexample, but for a more modern example -- iTunes was apocalyptically bad for a very long time. For a more spicy take -- the iPhone was basically a toy until iPhone 5 (or 4, if you ignore the reception issues). A very Vista/7 dynamic.

  @Naija_PR Wrong choice of words… the real billion movers are not the problem. It’s the $50 iTunes boys that brings shame to the industry

  @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

  Mariah Carey iTunes Chart (@MariahCharted) reported 17 minutes ago

  @iTunes Please look into .@MariahCarey's "Type Dangerous" single, despite its dominance on every platform some fans are having problem purchasing the single and it has not appeared on any iTunes Chart despite selling a great amount with 4 hours of its release (VERY UNCOMMON)!

  Dear @Apple , This has been the most frustrating hour EVER. I am trying to make an account so I can login in to the iTunes store and buy a song. - undefined error at first screen - locked - verify codes not arriving - "can't send code to this phone" - does not work in Firefox

  There are a few ways to safely get your semijailbroken iPad up to date, depending on how much access you have and how broken the device is.The easiest way is to connect to iTunes on a computer and update the iPad. If you don't have access to a computer

  Maybe the Barbz should make our own streaming service/chart system. All we need is people relying and using it like Billboard and ITunes Charts, right? What makes Billboard official and not sound cloud charting unofficial? Artist? Money? Business? Nicki alone can launch this ****

  They down play being #1 on iTunes (an artist generating pure revenue from the interest around their brand mind you) cuz the last 20 btch3s who dropped weren’t able to do it. Can’t even break even on ROI bc their label too busy buying placements forcing ppl to have interest 😭

  @Savage16May I sold my house. Bought a cheaper place out of town for lower taxes. And to avoid the bullshit water, garbage fees. Cancelled all unnecessary subscriptions. Down to only one internet tv provider no satellite. No iTunes.

  So weird, listening to a Haegeum focused playlist on AM from my Apple TV iTunes music app and it’s skipping all the Haegeum. When I try clicking on Haegeum on the playlist it just skips to the next song. Anyone else notice this issue with AM?

  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.

  @SuspenseP35 @BoldExaltus The 12 movies, likely including The Shawshank Redemption, can be downloaded from platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, or Microsoft Store, depending on your region. Check availability for each title, as not all may be downloadable. Use legal platforms to avoid piracy issues. Services like JustWatch can help locate specific movies.

  False. Music “purchased” through iTunes, you’re not buying the music itself, you’re buying a license to use the music. While it has the illusion of ownership, you don’t actually own it, ie you need to sign in and authorize your computer for the music files to work, you are limited to burning the songs to disc 7 times total, songs not downloaded or backed up can disappear if the content right holders pull their license with Apple, not allowed to sell or trade or anything beyond personal use with the music, etc.

  i’m not confusing anything! okay so for example, the banned from no remix, because that’s been causing discourse within the fanbase. sure, it went #1 on itunes due to the barbz’s support, but it tanked in streaming bc the gp didn’t know/care about it to listen to it. this is where the problem lies. we all know barbz are gonna defend nicki down. but who’s gonna carry the success of her music? bfn remix didn’t even have enough points to have her credited on the song. what’s gonna happen when she drops nm6 and it tanks bc only a handful of people are buying it on mf itunes?

  Anyone knows if the issues with iTunes (the song was listed as an album instead of a single which is why is not appearing on any charts and people can't find it) have been fixed? #TypeDangerous @MariahAlerts @MariahCarey

  Come on @AppleMusic we are in 2023 ! One does not ask customers to install an anoying app to unsubscribe to a cloud service. I can't AND don't wanna install ITunes on all my devices ! Have a good day though.

  @Mangalawyer Don't expect Microsoft to do better on PC. Oh, wait—they are never better at all. Even I can not be sure if it is Microsoft or Apple's problem with iTunes being unable to code CD songs into iPhones.

  first of all, I'm so sorry I had to tell this and might be cancelled too. but, I can't prevent anyone to buy haegeum and DDay tracks on itunes, BUT this kinda alarming because jm solos team up to put down haegeum :') so you know what to do.
