Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Alcapownage Kyle in The Portland Area Area (@Alcapownage) reported

    @Theophite @mattoak My best memory as a child was downloading this song onto my dads iTunes and in the middle of a church service this song goes off on full blast on his iPhone for an unknown reason. Couldn’t find the mute button so he had to take it outside like a screaming child

  • steelydante Tranz Biberkopf 🕯️ (@steelydante) reported

    my issue with buying stuff on itunes is that there’s no actual ownership. when i buy a dvd i own that movie and barring unforeseen physical circumstances (theft or loss or a fire or flood or something) it is mine indefinitely. if i buy something on itunes that can just be gone.

  • Pikagirl1025 Tasha/Any Pronouns (@Pikagirl1025) reported

    Pop goes punk volume 6 is on Spotify but it doesn’t include @UABB cover of turn down for what that featured Ice-T and it makes me so sad lmao at least I bought it on iTunes when it first came out 💀

  • Mattyv1011 Matthew Viljoen (@Mattyv1011) reported

    @EtherealSnake_ Hey man, big fan of these soundtracks. I’m sure you’ve been asked this before, but are you planning on releasing “I’m Fading Down” on Spotify or iTunes? I can’t find anywhere to purchase the song, which I would love to do so.

  • GeorgeMorgan13 George Morgan (@GeorgeMorgan13) reported from Poplar, England

    @LindsayPB I exported my iTunes when I got an android phone but loads of stuff I'd 'bought' recently didn't make it through. I never had this problem when I'd bought a new Walkman!

  • burnunit jon stark olsen (@burnunit) reported

    This was the only copy of Intervention in my iTunes 14 years later. I COULD NOT make it go away. I am not sure, but I think it’s because I signed up for Apple Match several years ago and the service treated my imported collection as the source of truth for my music library

  • alan_fract Alan Fract (@alan_fract) reported

    Alan... Now I want the cocoon to drill holes into their planets so they can never remove it! Giant bore holes that will grip the planet! The cocoon can never be undone! They didn't fix my iTunes store access problem! Better fix it soon before I do more!

  • pajamasmusic Mark Pyles (@pajamasmusic) reported

    @BrigidKaelin iTunes is so locked down it's maddening, but as with everything Apple, it's not a bug but a feature.

  • AndrewUK Andrew Morrison (@AndrewUK) reported

    @stevew0601 @plc69 2 of 2: Meaning their releases are listed under two separate artist names on iTunes - could be the same on other digital stores. Took me a while to work that out when tracking down their early material! 'A Year Without A Summer' from 'Collected...' is wonderful

  • CeiteachG 𝕂𝕖𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝔾𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕘𝕒𝕟 🇮🇪 ❤ ☘🕊 (@CeiteachG) reported

    Hey @Spotify ever since you increased the monthly subscription your app has been crashing and having issues. One would have expected the exact opposite!? No wonder people are flocking to iTunes and other alternatives!? Sort it!

  • theNineBall Nine-Ball (@theNineBall) reported

    @Elevation_Pics why are your digital codes only for iTunes? Tried to redeem Paw Patrol in Google Play and now have disappointed kids. Only movie I've ever had this problem with.

  • sIowthai JOE (@sIowthai) reported

    I've watched +80 movies on torrent this year because it wasn't on any streaming service and I'm not dumb enough to rent movies on YouTube/iTunes

  • varietygarage Variety Garage (@varietygarage) reported

    @vinylsol Those are just normal iTunes Store rentals/purchases of any movie/TV Show. AppleTV+ is its own service with their content free under the subscription like Netflix etc. Some great originals. Shrink Next Door, Acapulco, Ted Lasso, Schmigadoon. Great quality content.

  • dockevinmcleod Kevin Mcleod (@dockevinmcleod) reported

    Canadian border services called me. I’m in trouble for contraband in a delivery. The only way I won’t go to jail is to pay the federal government in iTunes gift cards. Why can’t this be stopped?! Can you imagine if this was your job making these calls? What a waste of a life.

  • shownuxgaga BIG BEAR SHOWNU 🧸 RUSH HOUR OUT NOW (@shownuxgaga) reported

    international mbb, if you dont hv money to buy each song separately, pls try to spare a purchase for You Problem on itunes store! its the single they are pushing, which we should push as well!

  • 92_attitude haruharu⁷ 하루 하루 ⟭⟬⟬⟭💜FanOf 2xGrammy-nominated BTS (@92_attitude) reported

    @RafranzDavis Will someone please share a direct link to the song in iTunes?🙏🏼 Mine keeps giving me an error.

  • mileysbiewty 𝕊𝔼𝕀𝔽 | 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 (@mileysbiewty) reported

    @wuttangclan @themileysman that the problem i agree i feel like she's afraid or think ppl will hate while PH hit different on itunes after her SNL she needs to investigate in her discography more

  • iamjoelectrick JoeLectrick 🤖 (@iamjoelectrick) reported

    Just downloaded 10 wav files from Beatport, seemed to have no metadata because when I put them into iTunes, no artist name or anything. Anyone else have this issue, that the artist name doesn't come up on their tracks when they're looking to spin them into a mix?

  • RyanEbrahamian Ryan (@RyanEbrahamian) reported

    @TIDAL 160kbps quality audio for the free plan? That’s worse than iTunes; they at least do 256kbps. Wack service.

  • lilkimqbstan4l Lil’ Kim Street Team| 😘 (@lilkimqbstan4l) reported

    @barbz420 @boredowntw Take it down off YouTube because today it’s still there. At that time KIM wasn’t able to drop music on iTunes or nothing mainstream for sell. Don’t be ignorant. Kim Stan’s have always been brave. We are you girls mothers, just like Lil’ Kim is nickis mother.

  • ByulsMoonchild ❖Ash⁷ 6EQUENCE | I'M A B | SOLO XMAS (@ByulsMoonchild) reported

    Or anything like that, it's to problem solve and see if there is anything we can do as a Fandom to do better on itunes charts in general.

  • alan_fract Alan Fract (@alan_fract) reported

    Alan... I still can't get access to the iTunes store with my old software! Star Trek is to blame for this! I told you to fix the problem fast! The longer you wait to fix it, the more I come up with ideas for tighter cocoon! I want another 1000 technologies for tighter cocoon!

  • Huriye Huriye (@Huriye) reported

    The fact I had iTunes on my first desktop PC and built up a big collection of media/music only to lose it all when @Apple didn't recognise my login on my new device, and I could do sweet FA about it. And you wonder why they're the richest conglomerate in the world? 2/

  • gogumapatatas Edward Minhyuk Lee ⋈ (@gogumapatatas) reported

    filobebes push pa natin you problem sa itunes, please purchase if you have 45 pesos to spare!! MONSTA X YOU PROBLEM MV #THEDREAMING #YOUPROBLEM #MONSTAX @OfficialMonstaX

  • MechaDragon101 MechaDragon101 (@MechaDragon101) reported

    I think I said this before but the fact that Pokemon Company decided to put their soundtracks on iTunes for purchase, and than not put them on any music streaming service makes no sense.

  • NRaysoni Nitin Raysoni (@NRaysoni) reported

    @AppleSWUpdates Do they have updates for airpod1 - have 2 units not working needed firmware updates - also firmwRe get updated via itunes ?

  • DoneDUNNitall lil bruh nem (@DoneDUNNitall) reported

    @LuccianoWay I got some **** on my iTunes make u laugh I was down there so much fuccin my cuZ I knew I was from the 6

  • hitmakerminpd (@hitmakerminpd) reported

    Why it’s so hard to get #1 on us iTunes when it’s yoongi’s release ? None of his collabs got #1 except eight and daechwita got after one year, I just don’t understand, other members also had releases recently and it wasn’t a problem

  • pres23119270 Another monkey with a typewriter (@pres23119270) reported

    @WicherJo @AnnastaciaMP Weird. I would log that on the app page in either iTunes or Google Play Store as developers more likely to check that for issues to fix. It could be related to your app permissions tho so maybe check those first.

    I know my dad looking down like son you Wildin I made my momma cry she seen iTunes paid me 1….🤫
