    @schraderbrau88 @Apple Paying for iTunes Match puts your songs in iCloud and that should solve your problem. Don’t blame @Apple, blame the user.

    @telegram looks like telegram devs ****** up. Album art not being displayed correct. Someone decided that if they can't scrape it off of itunes then it must not exist. Talk about a very poor oversight ! Fix the problem, and display ebedded album art as a priority

  • monsterfaz13 Viola’s BF (@monsterfaz13) reported

    @sadistchann Hook it up to a computer with itunes. Hold the power button and volume down button until it goes into restore mode. From there you can restore the Ipad.

    It is 2020, how in the world is it still a problem to provide the original English soundtrack for a movie in a store that is not English? It has been an issue in the iTunes Store and now on Apple TV for almost a decade that people who live in Germany but would rather watch a

  • pouwerkerk Pieter Ouwerkerk (@pouwerkerk) reported

    @tolmasky Even sharing iCloud resources (e.g. storage, and App Store/iTunes purchases) with *yourself* is broken, as Apple still doesn’t let you consolidate multiple Apple IDs into one. This has been requested since the dawn of iCloud for inheriting pre-iCloud items in your iCloud acct.

  • fierengraw Dr Fierengraw (@fierengraw) reported

    @CAPittard I think when I last changed laptop I had to sign in to my account in the iTunes app & redownload everything. If it’s not stuff bought through iTunes there should be a Music folder on your computer that can be copied & pasted (am very far from being expert though!!)

  • aaronolin Aaron Olin (@aaronolin) reported

    @MaxWinebach Question: Can you play music from let’s say Spotify on HomePod using Siri? Or do they lock it down to iTunes music like the phones?

  • doubleamr9 Double-AMR_9 (@doubleamr9) reported

    @IDWSonicNews I smell Communication issues with iTunes. The final two preview pages aren’t usually revealed until the day before, and the official IDW page listed Issue 36 for release this week in an email they sent.

  • CorwinB87 Mr . " BIG SHOT " WILDWEASEL (@CorwinB87) reported

    I have tried Clementine and Strawberry (they don't do huge playlists very well, it slows them down), Banshee (too much like iTunes and kind of expects you to tag things Their Way for the sorting to work), and Deadbeef (most resembles ****** but doesn't have a library).

  • dearapriII paul (@dearapriII) reported

    @nightshiftmp3 He was having problems with iTunes 😭

  • tonydowler Tony Dowler (@tonydowler) reported

    I'll bet you could fix the problem by spending just the money I've given you for music over the years, @itunes.

  • ethancgordon ethan (@ethancgordon) reported

    @grantsharpies I’ll have to track my iTunes reviews down, I know they exist and are even earlier on and worse

  • DJSuperLemon1 Super Lemon (@DJSuperLemon1) reported

    @danielteee Exactly, work of the devil. Samsung have never let me down. Memory card swap takes seconds and no itunes nonsense. 👍

  • 93418 d. emerson eddy (@93418) reported

    @RahulKohli13 I typically don't truck with music streaming services (other than the Amazon Music that comes with my Prime subscription), so iTunes Match? Is that like a music dating service? Type in your wants and desires, it comes back with...WHAM! - Careless Whisper?

  • StarfleetQueen1 Mrs McCoy 💍 StarfleetQueen 👑 (@StarfleetQueen1) reported

    @DutchNoodle_ I have also tried that and when I tried to log into iTunes, it wanted to send me a text message. To my broken phone.

  • ladymarall maral (@ladymarall) reported

    @LeoDiCaprio @RepDebHaaland Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, I am one of your supporters and I want this issue to be addressed. Someone with your name texted me on Instagram and talked about giving me a gift card (ie on your behalf) and asked me to buy an iTunes gift card so that they could deposit my gift into this.

  • C0nstantM0tion Constant Scribbles (@C0nstantM0tion) reported

    I'm having a problem with my Bluetooth Speakers where I can't play Audio from iTunes or Windows Media Player UNLESS audio from another app like Firefox, Discord/Youtube, or Spotify is playing. It is... VERY frustrating

  • Altavistagoogle Altavistagoogle🇨🇦 (@Altavistagoogle) reported

    @LONGFuT_ @thewizodd @AppleTV Apple TV isn’t a service, it is a free app. An evolution of 20 year old iTunes. Not to be confused with $5 a month Apple TV+.

  • KSGeekMan KSGeekMan (@KSGeekMan) reported

    Crap. iTunes is doing their post Christmas mark down for movies. Hmmmmm......

  • MichaelDubuque3 Michael Dubuque (@MichaelDubuque3) reported

    @JODEANLACHER I have a feeling he is trying to use people to clean stolen money for him... that's why he would want her paypal login... give her the stolen money and have her do something legal with it and send it back... like in iTunes cards

  • shivvy Matt Shiv (@shivvy) reported

    I have been checking every week to see if THE REMAINS OF THE DAY and FULL METAL JACKET would go down in price on iTunes since upgrading to 4K transfers. Today, they both went to $4.99 and I bought them instantly!

  • GhostKarin Karin Hilshire (@GhostKarin) reported

    @CBSAllAccess finally found Star Trek Picard on iTunes. I BOUGHT the entire first season outright without seeking spoilers. Yet can't justify spending money on a streaming service for one or two shows. Bring more to iTunes, I'll buy.
