    @wankmemyfriend Apple TV/iTunes has been free for over 20 years. You are thinking of Apple TV+, the $5 a month subscription service.

  • sadockjr SEJ (@sadockjr) reported

    @messizlulu I had this. There are two settings that can conflict with each other. First setting: Under iTunes & App Store, Use Cellular Data has to be enabled. Second setting: Under Cellular, Scroll down to find Music and make sure it is enabled. Then you are good.

    @AppleSupport every time I try and login to my account on my Samsung TV, I go to the activate url on my phone, enter the code on my TV, sign in and get a message saying I need an iTunes account. Is an apple id and iTunes account different?

  • KyiaBreonna SpottieOttieDopaliscious (@KyiaBreonna) reported

    @BoogBlkHippie It may be stuck in a reboot loop and it could be crashed or fixable. You can try a hard reset by holding down the lock button and volume button. Don’t let go until the itunes screen pops up. Use iTunes to restore. Hopefully this helps!

    @focacciaqueen Nice! I actually never had any intention of buying physical albums again since I had iTunes and Spotify but for some reason this year, I decided to start buying albums. Once I start collecting things, it becomes obsessive for me. Down the rabbit 🐇 hole 🕳 I go. 😭

  • UglyButRARE m🌺rs (@UglyButRARE) reported

    @WAPDELUXE rare had good playlisting the first week.. but it dropped off playlists two weeks later. It didnt get any radio plays that week and I think there was some issue with itunes release day ( i think you were only able to buy the album version)

  • venort Lucas Is Still Spooky (@venort) reported

    @lyzl @chick_in_kiev Ex texted me asking for the iTunes password-- she'd set it to something she didn't know but I did to help cut down on in-app purchases after accidentally spending like $70 in a month on them

    @dreamsismybitch itunes is a store, but apple music is just the streaming service. you cant buy things on apple music but at the most presave it and if it’s not available in your region, it won’t play.

  • yobecks Sara 🌱 (@yobecks) reported

    My favourite documentary was taken off of Netflix and I couldn’t find it on any other streaming service... so I caved and bought it on iTunes. 😩😩😩

  • brilliantorg Brilliant.org (@brilliantorg) reported

    @ggtayler @foldsproteins Hi there - I checked with our support person, who says she has been corresponding with you over email. She’ll follow up again, but unfortunately with iOS apps, the only route to get a refund on a purchase is via iTunes. Apple will not allow us to issue a refund ourselves.
