Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Bluesparks_ Dakota (@Bluesparks_) reported

    @GreenTextRepost I've disliked Apple products since I was a kid using my brother's ****** iPod Mini hand-me-down with a shot battery. Itunes sucked *** on Windows and that thing was a piece of junk without an easily replaceable battery.

    Like they need you to link your streaming service accounts, iTunes accounts, the artist’s store purchases, stan account, your tax receipts, social insurance number. WHATEVER it takes to ACTUALLY verify who’s a fan.

  • MirthMantis Wallet Martinspector (@MirthMantis) reported

    @AppleSupport iTunes (v12.10 on a Win 7 PC) is refusing to download podcasts. Was just one series at first, but now spread to others that I've previously had no problem with. I tried deleting and re-adding one show and it won't even acknowledge the episodes I've already d/led.

  • JakeNiemeyer Jake Niemeyer (@JakeNiemeyer) reported

    @BeeepTheMeep There is a way to register issues with tv/iTunes, and this should fall under that. I believe they are required to provide those subtitle tracks, but it may have been missed depending on the studio and handful of other variables.

  • dkgraf Job Security for Reply Guys 🚫🤖 (@dkgraf) reported

    @raaleh Head down to the CVS and start cashing out iTunes gift cards.

  • serickjr PampaX4 (@serickjr) reported

    @Chriss6049 @BrandonButch This is the first issue I’ve ever had with OTA since they introduced it years ago. I would try iTunes but I would have to dig out one of my old Mac’s or MBP’s. If I get desperate I might do that.

  • TCTransLift TransLift (@TCTransLift) reported

    Some of this music may or may not eventually end up on streaming. The problem is that I don't want to have to sell some of the albums for "full price", which is a stipulation for a couple of online storefronts [ie I can't sell an album on iTunes at a higher cost than on Bandcamp]

  • bengrieve Ben Grieve (@bengrieve) reported

    Still having issues getting Apple Music to load on Windows. iTunes Store loaded just fine. Would like to know that it's not just me. @AppleSupport

    10y ago i bought the last cw single on itunes and made it everyone's problem because it was My Day

  • JonE1985 Jonathan Evans (@JonE1985) reported

    @MollieKing please can we get hair down back on streaming and iTunes please 🤞

  • PornGameDev Porn Game Dev 🇨🇦 (@PornGameDev) reported

    @GreenTextRepost When steve jobs was alive, they did software updates that would slow older phones down and cause issues to force updates. They also updated itunes and had it tell people they couldn't if their device was too old. Unless it was on windows.

  • jimin02604327 Jiminist ジミニスト (@jimin02604327) reported

    @Katarinna Honestly, they are very similar. I hate iTunes (confusing, bloated, ugly) and Apple Music was only on iTunes back then so that was the deal breaker. Spotify has an easy user interface and includes podcasts. Catalogue-wise, I’ve never had trouble.

  • dan_gaffa Dan Gaffa (@dan_gaffa) reported

    @IzzzyzzzArt iTunes had an issue with true random shuffling: people would complain because they thought it wasn't random, when it was, our brains are just good at connections, even in the plain noise

  • TNTimRN1 TNTimRN (@TNTimRN1) reported

    @1029thebuzz anyone else recently having issues playing 102.9 on iTunes or even directly from their own app? I’ve had to resort listening to FBHW on the HOG from Tri Cities

  • katfaer kate (@katfaer) reported

    I have a paid Paramount Plus account through iTunes Store and when I sign in, it asked me what plan I want to sign up on. How do I get on my account? @paramountplus @iTunes

  • cinematt Big Time Ambling Boss (@cinematt) reported

    @Stuntman_MIK3 @pockafella @TheWiz_PHI Like I say, combination of bad UI and user error accounts for every case of ‘lost movies’ I’ve ever seen claimed on iTunes, and if people get help their purchases can be found.

  • FaZeBuhdeuce kayla⁷+⁹ 🌃🌅 (@FaZeBuhdeuce) reported

    @soloistiny @cuntyjihyo A little critical thinking would go a long way... Both j and us onces had the same terrible promo and we still got it to chart on both hot 100 and iTunes charts. Even with ttt we did our best with bad promo and as always k onces didn't show up unless it was a fanmeet or inkigayo.

    @peterjgillespi @GameTripperUK @MisterABK (From personal experience I can say The The DID cause problems for the sorting function of early versions of iTunes 😝 $

  • pezfortytwo David (@pezfortytwo) reported

    File management is seriously gonna make me go back to Android. iPhone won’t let me backup photos to pc without installing iTunes or using iCloud. I just wanna use a usb cable and not have errors

  • petersterne Peter Sterne (@petersterne) reported

    @nytimes @cliffordlevy I think the issue stems from the same account having both a NYT digital news sub (managed through the NYT site) and a NYT Games sub (managed through iTunes). But I really need someone with backend access to go in and either fix this or just cancel everything so I can resubscribe.

  • wildmedupdates Wilderness Medicine Updates (@wildmedupdates) reported

    Discovered today that there was an issue preventing the podcast from getting pushed out to iTunes, that is fixed! Soon it will be listed on the itunes podcast directory.

  • SamuelSoname Captain Sammy (@SamuelSoname) reported

    @xlshotit @thebbash That’s the problem; PayDay Card only works on US iTunes Store; so I’d advice you to change your country You get yeah?

    @OverDrive1050 Having problems with Overdrive on iTunes !

  • niall_bigscreen Niall Ginsbourg 🤷‍♂️ (@niall_bigscreen) reported

    Hey @BankofMelb - is there an issue with ApplePay/CC Payments? My automatic monthly subscription payment to Apple/iTunes was just declined. Credit card is working fine (just did another purchase elsewhere). My BOM account isn't showing any issues & there's no BOM outage notices.

  • serickjr PampaX4 (@serickjr) reported

    @alex_signorello @BrandonButch Hard restart is the first thing I did, obviously, many times. Cant do iTunes without digging out a Mac. Oh wait, I still might have a Mac Mini hooked up somewhere in the house. Ill chat w/ support or Genius Bar if I need to, but Ive never had an issue I couldnt fix myself. Thanks
