    @RuPaulsDragRace I’m really sad that RDAS 6 isn’t on iTunes to be purchased. I purchase every season especially since I have so much trouble streaming it from @paramountplus it’s always skipping, can’t load, I miss you being on VH1. When is it going to be on iTunes??

  • artlaw99 Paula ✨ Commissions open ✨ (@artlaw99) reported

    Welp, my iTunes wouldn't restore it even after 5 tries so I decided to book an appointment with an official supplier to see if it worked there. I went there this morning and they tried to update my iPad first to see if the issue could be fixed without erasing all the data

  • onikabreastmilk chile (@onikabreastmilk) reported

    @Nickimarajguys Because it depends on how popular the song is on SPOTIFY it doesn’t matter how good it’s performing on the other platforms… and let’s be real we haven’t got Spotify down at all we only focus on iTunes and Apple Music.

  • IanRobinson Ian Robinson (@IanRobinson) reported

    There is a good argument to be made for reverting to buying the music you like, rather than spending £9.99 a month on a streaming service. Buying on CD, artists sites, Soundcloud, or iTunes (which is still a thing).

  • RafranzDavis Rafranz⁷ 💜🧈 (@RafranzDavis) reported

    Not to be a broken record but if you haven’t bought PTD on iTunes or Amazon, please buy it. It’s $1.38 total for both. We need all hands on deck

  • FaffieManhuhwa Faffie-dzashe (@FaffieManhuhwa) reported

    @GregTheMarketer the phone is showing kuMy Files on pc but wen it comes to iTunes its not so l dont think its a cable problem

  • jaysswae 𝙅𝙖𝙮 ✭ #𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙉𝙀𝙔 ✟ (@jaysswae) reported

    @bodybagney The issue is we can’t buy it from iTunes Bc ur isn’t there???

  • muusssiiiiccccc TheMusicEvangelist (@muusssiiiiccccc) reported

    @theneedledrop Not listening to cancelled artists should be a personal choice. No one should have issue with people who still listen to Ariel Pink, Sun Kil Moon, Lennon, Bowie, etc. I think people are lying to themselves if their entire iTunes library is free of terrible people. #letsargue

    In 2005, he co-founded Odeo with another entrepreneur, Noah Glass; that fall, however, Odeo’s main service was made obsolete when Apple launched iTunes (including a built-in podcasting platform).

    @ShackLife Hi there again. Hope you're doing OK. Anyway, have you had any mentions of errors downloading new episode today. I keep getting the same error coming and going. Don't remember it though. Listening on @PodcastAddict (sync to ITunes library).

  • eoindalybsc eoin daly ⚽️ (@eoindalybsc) reported from Aughils, Munster

    @DonMcintyre70 I found my iTunes problem !!! When I put in the band and full title song it was there but it wasn’t coming up under their normal album and singles section

  • dgct2 DG ❤️⚔️ (@dgct2) reported

    I freaking hate the Apple+ App. It is a pain in the arse to track down new tv shows. I wish they had kept purchases as a separate thing in the iTunes store.

  • lanabananaaaas C🌊 (@lanabananaaaas) reported

    @olmolinauro @lanasjazzyblues Apple Music is a streaming service like Spotify, iTunes is where you actually pay to purchase each individual albums and song and own them. You can also buy or rent movies on iTunes

  • hannahmaximoff han ♡ (@hannahmaximoff) reported

    @queenkateausten i bought it on itunes awhile abck i’ll give my login

  • dynamiteofbts lex ⁷ | baby ARMY 🤍 (@dynamiteofbts) reported

    @gntlmin honestly it probably isn’t a scare tactic, st*y has a lot of radio airplay and playlisting and is #4 on itunes while maintains on apple music too. While we still haven’t reached our sales goal and our streaming is slowing down.

  • bobby_capucci Bobby Capucci (@bobby_capucci) reported

    @Ramenator1 It looks like iTunes and Iheart are the platforms with the issue. I've contacted both so we will see what they say whenever they get around to it I guess. Until then....we persist!

  • ThingMann MannThing (@ThingMann) reported

    Aaaaannddd, I think another one is getting ready to go down... She asked for a birthday gift, in the form of an iTunes card, and wants me to photograph the scratched off part, and the receipt. What is on the receipt that can be salvaged as scam information?

    @sui88086580 omg i think i’m logged into my jp itunes actually … will this affect my server or whatever EHDHEHDEHDHEH

    @AskWWENetwork I’m having trouble restoring my account through iTunes.

  • Photography17Q 𝒮𝒶ℊℯ (@Photography17Q) reported

    @Zak_Bagans If iPhones and ITunes get taken down will I get a refund on all my ghost adventures movies !!!!

  • dlhiiiv Anas (@dlhiiiv) reported

    @AskScribd I have tried everything still not working.. Also I have created an account using iTunes, but there’s no iTunes sign in option on Scribd website.. what can I do? Please note my vacation just started and this is much needed right now :)

  • ShakInThisTown #DontWaitUp (@ShakInThisTown) reported

    everybody forgetting Slovenian #1 on iTunes just because it fell some spots down😭

  • ttuckerrr tucker (@ttuckerrr) reported

    @CosmonautMarcus I only recently had the problem where it starts playing music from my iTunes, other than that it’s great.

  • DonMcintyre70 Don McIntyre ⚒️🤘🏻 🥇 💉💉 (@DonMcintyre70) reported

    @sabbathbloodypc @feckinmetalcast Don't judge it by the sound on YouTube - its horrible! Terrible mix! I got the iTunes version and that's spot on. As for the song itself ? Love it.

  • betterwithpayno LP2 , LT2, NH3 are coming! NIL out now (@betterwithpayno) reported

    @LstansX @bluebell_bee Yeah due to problems I separated both radio and stan account, better this way. It’s cool to see new developments but I have to admit digital developments alters quality of the songs. Itunes vs good old vinyl isn’t the same. Sometimes I hate how the industry goes actually

  • esistbri bri (@esistbri) reported

    @bleepblooptwts @evmoney247 I loved Coldplay so much that ghost stories was the first album I preordered on iTunes thinking I could never be let down. I was so wrong I never preordered anything ever again

  • satorudo Satoru (@satorudo) reported

    @AdventureMtn The iPods main benefit wasn’t the hardware it was iTunes. Most tech people didn’t realize how jank it was to get music onto a mp3 device. I put 10 songs on an mp3 for my gf and she never changed them cuz she didn’t know how. iTunes solved that user problem.

  • velvetycouch Graham Davis (@velvetycouch) reported

    @satorudo @AdventureMtn It did? Because iTunes was and still is a terribly convoluted system for transferring mp3s to a phone or device. It works but not without a lot of frustration. If that was the main problem being solved surely someone else (or Apple themselves) would have improved that process.

  • El_Doubarge07 Jose Armando (@El_Doubarge07) reported

    @SimStrength I had that problem with that pre-downloaded U2 album playing in my itunes everytime I started carplay. Hope apple fixes it with an update. I know it's annoying
