    MIKU PUT THE ITUNES DOWN!!!!! STOP!!!

  • slightly99 Matt Clifton (@slightly99) reported

    @jonholmes1 We found them PPV on another service - iTunes or Amazon I think.

  • MikedBell MikeDBell (@MikedBell) reported

    @Medium__Talent I went with Apple Music way back in the day just to stay in the iTunes realm so my personal collection could interact with the app seamlessly, which it did. I never understood the problem when iTunes went away. I felt zero impact.

  • topscallop sweeter than freedom (@topscallop) reported

    @RoseHarding I really want to watch it but I refuse to subscribe to another streaming service. Hoping I can just buy on iTunes or Amazon some day.

  • honghao90 卡丽娜粑粑 (@honghao90) reported

    @morrick I’m having the same issue, my iOS 4/5/6 devices can’t download apps anymore. And the iTunes Match doesn’t work.

  • KerryHale17 Kerry Hale (@KerryHale17) reported

    @Thinkwert They said “learn to code”. We ate that guy. Then “telework”. We ate him too. We went back to school, but we ate the professor. Job training corps? Ate them. Tried podcasting, but iTunes took it down for “problematic violent subject matter: eating people”. Two Americas, man.

  • SparkBibo Spark T. Bibo, 💉💉💉🖖🤙 🏴 CT-9921 (@SparkBibo) reported

    @yislash I’ve purchased season passes for years and they’ve always worked. However, this season on Archer had the same ******. A missing episode. They eventually put it up but it took like 3 weeks. So maybe it’s a wide spread issue with iTunes atm?

  • TheJocelynRene JOCELYN RENÉ🧵 (@TheJocelynRene) reported

    Went to look at the reviews for the @YouVersion app on ITunes to see if anyone was having the same problems I was. And it is FLOOOOOOODED with fake reviews. I mean FLOODED. Smh With all that effort they could’ve fixed all the bugs instead

  • Lusha2009 Danisa Lusha (@Lusha2009) reported

    @TVMoJoe I never used iTunes but is possible to download media you bought from to your local drive? If that is the case, I suggest you do that. Is it always good practice to have a spare backup harddrive just in case. No internet no problem. No iTunes app no problem.

  • russbengtson russbengtson.eesh (@russbengtson) reported

    but then you got iTunes and downloads. and man, that did away with a lot of problems! you had all the space you needed on a hard drive, and if you're not lugging piles of CDs to a cash register it almost doesn't seem like buying at all. until the credit card statement comes.

  • morrick Riccardo Mori (@morrick) reported

    @honghao90 As I said, the problem is that the version of iTunes I’m using on my older MacBook Pro can’t connect to the iOS App Store either…

  • willemsst Steven Willems (@willemsst) reported

    @AppleSupport I switched last week my iTunes Match account into Apple Music. However, my Match account was automatically renewed and billed last night. Why? This doesn’t seem right.. I expect my 24.99 to be reimbursed. Also, still issues with lossless Apple Music. Is it linked?

  • Matthew_Nickell ♛ Shill Team 6 Captain ♛ (@Matthew_Nickell) reported

    @JumpstartJake Yeah I tried that, a ton of other **** too. I finally hooked it up to iTunes and it basically gave off a unable to recover error, had to wipe the whole thing.

  • TheRealArty Cynthia "Arty" Ng (@TheRealArty) reported

    Wow, only took an entire major release, but in 15 @Apple finally fixed updating #iOS via #iTunes so that you don't have to disable your passcode to get around a generic error code

  • MLBGeo George (@MLBGeo) reported

    Spent the last hour and a half trying to restore a iPad and was getting nothing but error after errors. It's because I had the ****** windows store version of iTunes installed. I downloaded the normal .exe version and it worked fine 😑

  • NotTheZedCee NTZC (@NotTheZedCee) reported

    @im_pyro_north @Atlus_West Its just streaming, and I dont believe the dancing game soundtracks are on there. Streaming is great, but Id rather pay a dollar to have the song anywhere regardless of connection, and they pull the songs from the service we're SOL. P5 is on itunes, just hoping for the rest.

  • omararshad Omar Arshad (@omararshad) reported

  • s60long Stephen Long (@s60long) reported

    Suddenly I can’t purchase game packs with iTunes …it says an error has occurred and to contact iTunes Store to connect with a tech…of course it will cost some money 😳

  • kyleve Kyle 🏳️‍🌈 (@kyleve) reported from San Francisco, California

    @_shantini_ After like 16 years of using iTunes for buying music and **** I’m unfortunately far too down this rabbit hole

  • herbertholler (((herbertholler))) (@herbertholler) reported from Bronx, New York

    @MikeCzech serato suggests not using itunes. less chance of issues. i’ve personally had issues like BPMs changing, tags not transferring.

  • d_lew716 King Lew (@d_lew716) reported

    This something for y’all to do. Go to your friends who rap or sing iTunes and just play all their music. Idc if your working. Turn the volume all the way down and just let they **** play until you run through all they ****. Phone gotta be fully charged to do this everyday lol

  • auryn_macmillan Auryn.eth Ĝ⌣Ĝ (@auryn_macmillan) reported

    @jeffscottward @avsa @WalletConnect Do you sign in anywhere with your Apple Wallet? Or do you sign in with your Apple ID / itunes account? (Honest question, I don't use apple products)

  • BeSpecialAlways Tanya Wilson (@BeSpecialAlways) reported

    @ROCKETJAYSON @Senah_02 @chromatigaga I think Gaga fans started the negativity. Y'all wanted Gaga to be the Pop Queen so bad. I remember when 4 was released some Gaga fans came on a Beyoncé board saying y'all voted down 4 on iTunes. I was like where is this coming from? Aren't Beyoncé & Gaga supposed to be friends?

  • VideoProFlo Eric Florence (@VideoProFlo) reported

    @drewmagary I went down a rabbit hole. Bono needs to be higher on this list. Simply for the time they made all iTunes users download their ****** Songs of Innocence album. Try him at The Hague.

  • DamnitsTris DamnItsTris2 (@DamnitsTris) reported

    IPHONE USERS: if you’re tryna watch a movie you’ve purchased/downloaded from iTunes and the message “there’s a problem loading this content” keeps popping up all you have to do is not delete the movie but undownload it then download it again, twas buggin

  • MikeCzech Mike Czech (@MikeCzech) reported

    @DJMarcusA I should start a counseling service for those frightened by iTunes 😜

  • catoldfield Catherine Oldfield (@catoldfield) reported

    If you receive an email, seemingly from someone you know, asking you to help them out buying an Apple or iTunes gift card because they’re having trouble with the website, do not do it. It’s a scam. I only twigged as their turn of phrase was nothing like my friend would write.

  • TheRealArty Cynthia "Arty" Ng (@TheRealArty) reported

    Wow, only took @Apple an entire major release, but in 15 you can finally update #iOS via #iTunes without disabling your passcode to get around a generic error code
