    @antique_codes I had the same problem. I should update iTunes to update to iOS 16. However, no update from iTunes is available.

  • SkorpionUK Rebecca Darby (@SkorpionUK) reported

    @rogue_taeminbot oh excuse me, it's a @Deezer problem, my bad I can get it on iTunes apparently

  • HITBARDI ❤️‍🔥𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈❤️‍🔥 (@HITBARDI) reported

    @DressHore @cardibchartdata @iamcardib the problem is that y’all think that Spotify is the only platform out. When it’s not. IOP charts on iTunes and Apple Music. — When’s the last time one of those albums charted there? Oh.

  • coreylosco JillSandwich (@coreylosco) reported

    @iTunes Can we get the discography of Atheist back on to the service?

  • FBM_Warrior Jo Cole ♿️ (@FBM_Warrior) reported

    @lesley_nicol Sounds like a subscription. If you have access to his account go into the iTunes app then go to the bottom to Apple ID tap on that & view account, scroll down to subscriptions then you should be able to switch any off! Also if you can’t, contact apple chat & see if they can help

  • brent_bisgard Brent Bisgard (@brent_bisgard) reported

    @penandjen @bootheelposting My main issue is that my iTunes is old. I don't think I ever migrated it to air, so my library only really exists on a particular laptop. I'm gonna dig around and see if I can find a cord and find out what's loaded on it.

  • PeterWSpencer Peter Spencer (@PeterWSpencer) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @BeerRabbi @Baddiel I get your point but if you look at storage capacity, MD has more memory than CDR. So in a way it was an upgrade. However to throw it all upside down, scientists have mucked about with cassette tape so that they can fit the whole of ITunes on 2 cassettes.

    Obamalite be calming down. Which one is sending Nigerian Astronauts to the moon when we still can’t have steady light anywhere in this country for one week straight. Heck out cards don’t even work on iTunes. Stop teasing 😈

  • uliwitness Uli Kusterer (@uliwitness) reported

    @film_girl Am I the only one who is against having Apple be my bank on principle? It feels like too much depending on one company, one Apple ID. If Apple shuts down my iTunes account due to an app store goof, what else happens, e.g. with my Pay Later plans?

  • iPrimo 𝔭𝔯𝔦𝔪𝔬.𝔩𝔬𝔬𝔭𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤.𝔢𝔱𝔶🏴‍☠️ (@iPrimo) reported

    What @GameStop is doing with their NFT marketplace and it’s creators is the same thing that Apple did in 2001 with iTunes and iPod. Making something that was so confusing cumbersome/time consuming transform into a user friendly, easy to use service. #GMECreators #GME $GME

  • thecofffeeguy1 Pinecone (@thecofffeeguy1) reported

    @Apple Hey CrApple! It is 2022. Why can’t I drag and drop pictures and videos from my windows pc to my iPad/iPhone w/o iTunes. Y’all are trying your hardest to make this software slow my workflow down huh? I don’t want to upload things to the cloud then download them. Takes way to long.

  • guitarboyjeff 🇺🇦 (@guitarboyjeff) reported

    @woofknight Yes if you have a basement or extra room for just media. Room is the issue so I have most of my movies through iTunes. I do have some physical copies but again, room is the problem. Netflix removed Scrubs and Prison Break so I bought them through iTunes.

  • Higgins_J Higgins is getting tired of saying WEAR A MASK (@Higgins_J) reported

    @avishaiw Oh *phew* depending how old the CD it may carry over the track list. On windows you can use Media Player or ITunes on Mac. If the CD are older you have to type it manually. I personally use band camp which hasn’t given me an issue.

  • cathennalilith kpoppapi's carrot ☀️ (@cathennalilith) reported

    @snapbackWONWOO they lacked in terms of giving people options on how to help? I think our problem is more of a no one's really listening and hyping their tweets rather than them not giving strategies? :( bc i know they are doing cses, radio, sh, and itunes. i also see their updates regularly

  • ryanjthomas83 Ryan Thomas (@ryanjthomas83) reported

    Persisting with iTunes and iPods when everybody cool is using Spotify etc has been fantastic for my Luddite aesthetic but terrible for figuring out how to actually sync the music and make it go

  • MrModdedTornado MrModdedTornado (@MrModdedTornado) reported

    @Mr_Pou3321 @LinusTech You don’t update your iPhone through iTunes you go in settings but it doesn’t let me update it just give me some network error bullish*t

  • itskapelo itskapelo (@itskapelo) reported

    i've said it before, but iTunes used to be the most elite app for music organisation. But it has fallen off so badly. Such a bloated app. It doesn't know whether it wants to be a library, a store, or a steaming service.

  • RAStap01 Richard Stapleton (@RAStap01) reported

    @GraceP0WER @lewisdoesthis I bet he’s down on his luck and wants an iTunes voucher.

  • OliverJia1014 Oliver Jia (オリバー・ジア) (@OliverJia1014) reported

    I’ve also had Apple replace my lossless ripped CDs with its own iTunes versions which are in a lower quality bitrate. I use Apple Music to have a universal music library across all Apple devices, but there’s still problems with the platform that annoy me to no end.

  • Axmortl Ax, Yer Pal, Yer Satan, Yer Sun (@Axmortl) reported

    Gonna say it now, @Apple Podcasts has a terrible UI. I had to keep refreshing to get an important field to appear, and it doesn't even show me my podcast url. I have to download iTunes to find it. Google was way easier to set up for.

  • HarmonySoleil 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 ⭐️⭐️ 𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙞𝙡 (@HarmonySoleil) reported

    I just found a file in my iTunes from 4/14/14 titled “HarmonyCanMixYoWAV” the mix is terrible but I still stand by the playlist tbh.

  • WESM741 Wes (@WESM741) reported

    @imtravismarx Are you having issues with Apple? Can’t get the Pulp app or iTunes to download current shows but no issues with other podcast. Thanks

  • Mscellobass Mscellobass (@Mscellobass) reported

    @AppleMusic hey Apple WHAT KIND OF DUMMIES ARR YOU HIRING TO RESOLVE ISSUES?! I called to resolve the issue of my iTunes not populating on my new phone. Called twice and went every where on my latest iPhone 13 pro max( w/ the latest updates)-even telling me that I had to

    Do I have anyone in my network who is a whizz with setting up (and remedying issues with) iBooks and iTunes Connect accounts (re the sale of audio books and music)?

  • pradachainz dftf defence squad (@pradachainz) reported

    @theguccigom i can’t remember exactly, but i remember that a couple itunes and billboard records were broken. and it did well domestically on apple music also

  • PokerWitch Tam (@PokerWitch) reported

    @mariewalsh18 Should be worldwide. Apple's bullshit inconveniences to force people into their products is terrible. Itunes was the worst, held your entire music collection to ransom. I had one iphone early on and was so glad to be rid of it for an Android.

  • djchrisvalencia CHRIS V∆L£NCI∆ (@djchrisvalencia) reported

    Can @Apple bring back iTunes…this Apple Music app is TERRIBLE!
