🍡Katharine K🍛 + Campus Ambassador of Temu ~ (@KATHARI34496680) reportedI 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.
-
Phil Fitt (@PhilFitt) reported@AppleMusic @Sonos Tracks that have been uploaded using the iTunes Match service display the error but other songs won’t play either despite everything being fine before. I can get around this playing via Airplay or deleting from my library and re-adding from Apple Music.
-
Даня (@danya__kuzmin) reported@GetScarlet Hello. I am having troubles installing scarlet for the last couple days. After the timer runs up “open in iTunes” pops up. I press ok and nothing happens after. Everything worked okay before that. Could you possibly know what’s being the issue here?
-
MalibuTheeMenace (@MalibuDollFace) reportedLmfao!!!! Now we know iTunes ain’t billboard & a vanguard ain’t a Grammy, YET WE KEEP SEEING DEM SINGLES SLIDE DOWN THE WALL THE NEXT WEEK. 64K SALES ON THE MOST “ powerful “ FANBASE IS A JOKE AT BEST!

Edwin Hayward (@edwinhayward) reportedStuff I use - Synology NAS - SmartSync Pro backup software - Backblaze cloud backup service - Wondershare MobileTrans (to copy phone data to PC in a more controlled way than iTunes does it) - Amazon Prime photo storage
-
Stammy (@Stammy) reportediOS App Store + itunes store was too powerful. And it wasn’t a good media player. At the time it had to replace your iPod so it needed to be powerful for music too imo And i recall various hardware issues (mainly slow) and being exclusive to just Sprint back when switching carriers was a huge hassle

𝓡𝓪𝔂 𝓓𝓪𝓿𝓲𝓭 𝓓𝓮𝓵𝓿𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓮 (@justAT3chGuy) reported@Gray22222222 Would full restore in iTunes fix this issue ?
-
smick 🍬 (@0xsmick) reported@grantdfindlay @ljin18 The issue is price. CDs no matter the quality are $10. iTunes tracks are $1. NFTs have an insane range and that range is always changing so anyone can see the possibility of buying low and selling high.
-
Greg Collins (@glcollins) reportedMy biggest issue with the #AppleTV app is that I cannot pick my dealt viewing source. If I purchase something from iTunes, I do not want to watch from a streaming service (due to the commercials). @Apple please fix this. You are making buying something on iTunes less valuable by defaulting to the streaming apps.

Christopher Price (@chrisprice) reportedBonjour for Windows Print Service largely is sunset. Apple hasn't updated it and no longer ships it with clean iTunes installs. Apple has moved away from iTunes too. A testament to it is that Apple only had to update it a few times in over a decade, whereas UPnP received literally thousands of (critical) Windows security updates. Bonjour may no longer be needed for new Windows printers, but it remains useful for older printers with drivers no longer maintained. Bonjour itself has succeeded UPnP, which now Microsoft largely relegates to... You guessed it, printing.

Mariah Carey's World (@MCareysWorld) reportedAnyone 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
-
Kristen Bridges (@KristenB198997) reportedAnyone else had problems with the Addison Raye album on iTunes I had already bought the singles before the album but when I bought the album, it didn’t group the singles into the album like it usually does so they’re separate and of course @AccessAddison
-
RABBIT (@tad_bennett) reported@tina247_t All of there cameras are broken or they need a iTunes card so they can video chat so you can see if they're real or not LoL hahaha
-
Charles Lee Ray (@GoodGuyChucky6) reported@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
-
AJStrong on BlueSky (@aj_strong) reportedSo far, Apple Music/iTunes is still bloatware with a terrible interface and broken functionality. Sad. #WWDC25

DWAI (@dwaidontwait) reportedmoney within the music industry has literally reduced the worth of music to atoms. it was records/cds - 10-20 bucks... apple came up w/ itunes, singles went down to .99 cent (not even a dollar), but now with streaming its like 0.003%? which is crazy insane
-

Aiden #LeaveHBOMaxAlone #FireDavidZaslav (@Aiden57518460) reported@ClassicCNFan @NaruMembrane When iTunes adds complete series to their service, that usually means a complete series DVD box set's coming soon.
-
Sun_Devil (@sundevil10) reported@Dishasatra Solution is to create a virtual location in some other drive where you have space and provide that location to iTunes. I recently faced the same problem.

Mariah Carey's World (@MCareysWorld) reportedWhile 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

Grok (@grok) reportedExact sales needed to chart on iTunes Album Charts aren't disclosed by Apple. Estimates suggest thousands of global sales for a spot on the Worldwide chart, like ITZY's "Girls Will Be Girls." Numbers vary by region, competition, and fanbase activity, making precise figures hard to pin down. For smaller markets, fewer sales may suffice for lower chart positions.

Berny Alexander (@bernyalexander1) reported@phamzforfree Yes, I recently changed the battery. I had to restore the phone with another tool because I was getting error 53 with iTunes.

Rick (@Bunyan2011) reported@avilla01_ @DAZNBoxing I receive email receipts from Apple/iTunes whenever a purchase is made. There’s a link in the email to report a problem. I reported it yesterday and had the refund this morning. Then canceled DAZN.
