Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Mailia Mailia (@Mailia) reported

    I need to figure out a way to transfer music onto my iPhone without having to use iTunes since my setup is super complex and iTunes is slowing me down needlessly.

  • FinalfrontierLM Luis Morgan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇸 (@FinalfrontierLM) reported from Runcorn, England

    @Dafydd_62 The iMac I have now is the 26 inch one but I had it on insurance so at least I only had to pay £300 for the XS but I have had nothing but trouble with iTunes which is really not helped. I have spent so much time on the phone to Apple in the end I just gave up.

  • kissakerho tukru, a morbid bisexual (@kissakerho) reported

    recommend me a podcast listening app that's not Spotify or iTunes, the one I've been using forever is low key broken and I'm tired of it

  • falcfans Aaron Freeman (@falcfans) reported

    @JacobWheatly i’ve heard thru the grapevine that iTunes is going thru some issues. Some people are having issues with it. Others are not. So it’s a technical thing on their end. Might I suggest listening on Spotify or elsewhere if it’s still not working.

  • TheAncientWorld The Ancient World #BLM (@TheAncientWorld) reported

    So...as of this morning my podcast "The Ancient World" is no longer appearing in iTunes. Anyone else having similar issues, or know what's happening? .@EgyptianPodcast not to scare you, but I was having trouble finding yours as well...

  • bishopsgreat Bishopsgreat (@bishopsgreat) reported

    Tryna get our podcast up on ITunes but they don't like me. Keeps coming up with more issues, I can only ascertain that ITunes is working for the Mafia.

  • thatkindofdua if it aint dua (@thatkindofdua) reported

    BUY LEVITATING ON ITUNES REPLY 5 TIMES OR NOT MY PROBLEM WILL BE THE NEXT SINGLE

  • wolverine49007 Jerry Gonzales (@wolverine49007) reported

    Don't lag like crazy seriously what's the point of letting us Watch Videos From Itunes on our Windows Based Laptops and pc if it lags like there is no tomorrow either fix the problem or end the ability to stream our itunes Movies and Tv Shows on Pc and Laptops

  • moonunderpod The Moon Under Water (@moonunderpod) reported

    @KevinWantsHelp @audioalways Hey Kevin! Have you tried signing in and out of iTunes on the device that isn't working? Just had a quick search and that was suggested to fix the issue!

  • BeauregardJohn John Beauregard (@BeauregardJohn) reported

    @catmanbirdies @KindaKatty1 What about for live sports? That’s confusing. I have Amazon and Hulu iTunes and I’m ready to cut the cord but live sports is the problem.

    ugh. why ******** does apple make it so ******* hard to add album art to stuff already on your phone? itunes is the only problem that gets worse with every ******* new version

  • MollyOShah Molly Shah (@MollyOShah) reported from Berlin, Land Berlin

    @jilliancyork I don’t know if you’re interested in switching to a German account- but I was finally able to do it and had zero issues (it was help up forever because I had a 25 cent credit on iTunes) So far all my apps still work etc

  • TymberDalton Tymber Dalton aka Lesli Richardson (@TymberDalton) reported

    Yes, I think I have extra backups of all the data, but the problem is it's scattered. And it's all my pictures, e-books, and iTunes library. #lessonlearned

  • Swasle David Swainsbury (@Swasle) reported

    The biggest problem with @Apple is @iTunes still full of bugs, greyed out tracks in #playlists have to sync multiple times to get new songs on #iPhone

  • ghostunstabIe jaz (@ghostunstabIe) reported

    @justicespeach yeah well the front is clean now too but it has major software issues, couldnt even connect with itunes and hard reset it

  • KeithChristmas Keith Christmas (@KeithChristmas) reported

    Meltdown 2 - Life Life and CDD disappeared from all the online outlets, Spotify, Amazon Music, iTunes suddenly and without warning. They were ‘taken down’ by my online distributor - mostly back up as of yesterday, tbh none of them pay me f*** all so why I care I don’t know...

  • FinalfrontierLM Luis Morgan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇸 (@FinalfrontierLM) reported

    @WarlockGlyndalf I have the iPhone X, my brother gave it to me, I’m not changing until I can afford something else, there’s nothing wrong with it. I love my iMac it works seamlessly with the iPhone and everything else but the amount of problems I’ve had with iTunes lately and still do, ugh!!!!!

  • cohenHD Jon Cohen - Media - #CollisionConf (@cohenHD) reported

    @marcoarment I had a similar issue, try to go to either iTunes or Apple music and sign out there and then sign back in. Fingers crossed.

  • JoeyValentino_ Muscle Crowe (@JoeyValentino_) reported

    Finally stopped acting broke and subscribed to the $9.99 iTunes music a few days ago(service isn’t great in certain countries.) So I’ve had Chris Brown on shuffle and MY GAWD🔥 @chrisbrown

  • chatabix1 Chatabix (@chatabix1) reported

    CHATABIX HAS BEEN DELETED BY ITUNES OUR COCKEREL IS FEELING DOWN IN THE DUMPS

  • AlhajiBabaah ๏ภค คﻮ๏гเ-เฬє🇳🇬🇺🇸 (@AlhajiBabaah) reported

    @AppleMusic rant pt 3 the funny thing is that the music may reappear. This is an #iTunes #AppleMusic issue that’s always been there deleting songs and randomly bringing them back or not accounting for the fact they’ve been bought and are owned. 😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • MrKayPT Kay (@MrKayPT) reported

    @marcoarment I had a similar problem: I applied for iTunes Connect (iBooks) years before submitting my first app. When I tried to submit the app I couldn’t log in to App Store connect. Support solved it for me.

  • FionaLondonarts Fiona Mountford (@FionaLondonarts) reported

    Hallo, @AppleTV. I have been a subscriber since the beginning and lately each month you have sent me an email saying that £4.99 credit will be added to my iTunes account as a thank you. Problem is, the credit never seems to be added and the balance on my iTunes account is zero.

  • currytantou ً (@currytantou) reported

    @kitsune_30 only way to get from itunes is create japan itunes acc and then buy japan itunes card (there's websites that offer this service). it's a hassle but it works!

  • kentindell Ken Tindell (@kentindell) reported

    @alexhern Apple are no different, with iCloud, Apple IDs galore, iTunes, and Mobile Me accounts. All subtly breaking things (a friend always has their iMessage service break when their iPad reboots because of some long ago long dead Mobile Me setting).

  • tendership escaped lab rat (@tendership) reported

    and im very sick of seeing them posted under hit tweets like a promo thing use critical thinking you will literally be able to use your money to buy on itunes etc when it releases. i don’t think everyone is scamming it just isn’t a needed service

  • NickeIbey nick (fan account) (@NickeIbey) reported

    Run The World didnt even reach #1 on iTunes 💀 thats how down terrible we were that era

  • wakeupsong USConstitution (@wakeupsong) reported

    @TheBradBlog Sorry, but I'm still having the error. If I go to the iTunes store, your podcast is there, but I cannot subscribe or play individual episodes.

  • sylvanaire sylvanaire (@🏡, 😷) (@sylvanaire) reported

    My iMac is taking *forever* to boot up. I’ve had this problem with it for years. I barely use it because it is so sloooow. I took it to an Apple repair shop & added RAM but it still just drags along. I want to add a playlist from my iTunes acct but may give up at this rate! 😠
