    @Troy23566081 @PreciousTekena If her Tidal streams are inflated but it didn't count towards her sales at the time anyway & she still sold 3 Million Worldwide without a #1 single or streams, that means ppl ACTUALLY purchased it on iTunes, plus she didn't have it on any other streaming service until 2 yrs later

  • Jayfan34 Neal (@Jayfan34) reported

    @willmenaker @letterboxd Similar experience. Loved this when it was new, bought on iTunes and watched a few years ago. Tried to convince myself it was still good, but deep down I knew the truth.

  • Peter_Jefferson PJ (@Peter_Jefferson) reported

    @Vennart I don’t have an issue with it. I use Spotify but to be fair I’ve already bought on CD or iTunes what I listen to on there and I ALWAYS buy your stuff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • ilsvxjk m a z e ⁷ 🌾 (@ilsvxjk) reported

    @tannieglobal iTunes is a music store where you can purchase songs and download them. Apple Music is a subscription-based streaming service. #ARMYINTERROGATION

  • LadyDarknest Demon Lord Yeefi NSFW🔞 (@LadyDarknest) reported

    @xMisterBallerx @Mecchiko Trying to remember. Wasn't there a dude who made a false statement that itunes had to completely shut down or make more servers? XD

  • mrabn8008 anon2000&beyond (@mrabn8008) reported

    @TeeStarr_B1 @packrat220 A1 marketing of dumbed down smartphones,exclusiveness being att only & forcing 1st iphone act through itunes locking u into ecosystem...devs had more incentives to make apple apps so they appeared better. Also closed os so easier 2 control user exper...no cheap droids 2 support.

  • BTSxAppleMusic BAM⁷ (@BTSxAppleMusic) reported

    Let's go through it ARMY... Apple Music = streaming service iTunes = purchasing platform

  • makesmilk Emma Pickett (@makesmilk) reported

    If I want to watch The Office and I have an episode either (a) downloaded on my phone (b) on iTunes but not downloaded or (c) on Netflix… Is one option better for the environment as uses less server space/ internet juice (technical term)?

  • LinkedInHelp LinkedIn Help (@LinkedInHelp) reported

    @manohat_akash Hi. I'm sorry for the frustration this has caused. It looks like this was purchased via Apple's iTunes inApp purchase. Unfortunately, because of Apple's policies, we can't cancel or issue a refund and you will need to contact them directly for assistance. Thank you. -MA .

  • matty_b78 Matthew Brown (@matty_b78) reported

    @AppleSupport I am@trying to back up my iPhone in iTunes and the “Back Up Now” button is greyed out. How do I resolve this issue please?

  • pngo75 Macro Ngo (@pngo75) reported

    I'm Macro Ngo about my problem with Apple and then they blocked my Apple store and Itunes it means blocked all my Apple apps on all Apple devices: MacBook, Ipad, iPhone...I'm Vietnamese 77 years old rarely use apps. So, I think Apple misunderstand my tweets on Twitter.

  • BlackCloud1966 Darren 🖕I will not acquiesce🖕 Richardson (@BlackCloud1966) reported

    @jennywackett I had Northern Exposure Expedition's on cd and the ex (spit) ran away with it. Do have it digital mind thanks to a torrent site. Although I'd rather have it in proper WAV format on cd then a dumbed down mp3. If you don't own the xpander ep, it's on iTunes. #essential

  • TMboneni Tbo-Touch (@TMboneni) reported

    @SICELOSouth @_nezelela @SpheBhengu Lol jus bcoz I'm not tweetin on an iPhone doesn't mean I've never had one, I got solutions for your "maintenance" problems, they all free, iCloud use Google cloud, iTunes use flud to download music, movies 4 free lol, paying 4 free stuff? Now who's the dummy?

  • Spidercyk2 perpetually sad (@Spidercyk2) reported

    @piebitxh I think we bought it on iTunes if you wanna borrow my login!

  • splendourella LJ Chol­monde­ley-​Feath­er­stone­haugh (@splendourella) reported

    I went through the trouble of buying a digital iTunes gift card with PayPal to bypass a debit card issue, just so that I could buy an audiobook for bedtime, and it turns out it’s going to take several hours…. to deliver an email 😤

  • forceplayz11 Enrique Castro (@forceplayz11) reported

    @Tannerfixestecc Baseband or other physical failure for my 3gs on iphoneOS 3 it shows no service only, or one bar alone, when i plug it into itunes it says the carrier lock message

  • VectorBoy101 Bekah IS Antifa (@VectorBoy101) reported

    @Jehmmy43 @mattsheffield iTunes, is hands down the worst piece of software ever designed.

  • indiananathan nathan™️ (@indiananathan) reported

    Had over 6k songs on my computer and in my iTunes. Deleted them all. Just added back 2,028. Whittled it down to the stuff I think I'll actually listen to!

  • thefirefly16 Morgan Thorp (@thefirefly16) reported

    @MacbethMusings @crendor Not loading on iTunes either, it's either a host issue or they uploaded it wrong.

  • GadgetDon Donald Brown (@GadgetDon) reported

    @Bkaiser1Bill @IMDbTV The only time I object about commercials on streaming services is when I'm watching a series I own on iTunes, I click "Watch Now" for the next episode, and it sends me to another service to watch it. (Like White Collar on IMDB) - but that's an Apple complaint, not the service

  • luvurmine PTD⁷🏖🍉on July 9 (@luvurmine) reported

    Itunes and apple music are two different apps but it's kinda connected if you login using the same apple id on both. Apple music is available on android/iOs/PC/Laptop. Itunes is available on iOs/PC/Laptop. Itunes is for buying a song. AM is for streaming songs just like spotify.

    @AprilHunter Which is another problem with holy books: they can all be mistranslated depending on your intentions and mindset. How can that be from an omnipresent, omniscient, all knowing, all loving god. My iTunes agreement has less loopholes.

  • dEaThAdDer5150 N&N Horror (@dEaThAdDer5150) reported

    @masterchaostv @VuduFans @DonnieYenCT I have at least 500 movies in vudu and ITunes that I haven't seen yet. I'll get to it eventually. Problem is I keep buying new stuff and watching that.

  • BMmakeitBANG Abz ~ Hidden KARD ♤ (@BMmakeitBANG) reported

    Hiddens who use iTunes must be feeling feel sad in love rn bc Broken Me (Korean Version) is charting and not 13ivi or Body Movin…

  • BTSHome389 🧈 Foreva ARMY₇ (@BTSHome389) reported

    PTD for Number 1! Streams-25M Sales-110 - 140k Radio-0 (400 pts+) For tracking, I boost my percentage to 50% to accommodate sales from other platforms. But if you want to break down itunes/Amazon. This is basically estimating 20k from those areas and 100k (at 3.5) from d2c.+

  • EldritchGirl Meghan Ball (@EldritchGirl) reported

    @Dunny0 The problem is I never update anything so everything is held together by string and prayer. Like, why am I surprised iTunes v10 from 2011 didn't save my monthly backups? No ****, Meghan

  • nasheslover siya loves liam ‹3 (@nasheslover) reported

    when we were streaming defenceless i bought it on itunes and i got in so much trouble for it bc i didn’t ask beforehand LOL. anything for louis 😮‍💨😮‍💨

  • TWILlGHTSTAN lauren (@TWILlGHTSTAN) reported

    might have to spend like half of the money i physically have on getting my phone fixed or it could be 25 euro if he just has to factory reset it (which i done myself for free the last time i had this problem but itunes is saying unknown error)

  • marook Jakob Peterhänsel (@marook) reported from Gentofte Kommune, Region Hovedstaden

    @AppleSupport All our company’s Apps are gone I Business Manager, and it seems it has issues connecting to iTunes Store. Apps are REMOVED from users devices!! And you don’t answer the phone I #denmark 😬

  • sarahekite 𝕊𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕙 𝔼𝕞𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕤 𝕂𝕚𝕥𝕖🪁 (@sarahekite) reported

    @AnotherPllanet I’ll try it on YouTube later. My Spotify shut itself down from lack of use & links don’t work anymore. I really don’t use Spotify bc when I’m driving or walking, I’m constantly going in & out of cell service. It’s easier to simply purchase downloads & add to my iTunes playlists
