    @HBOMaxHelp Today the Apple TV Channels product was discontinued. Today I redeemed an offer to start an HBO Max via my iTunes account. Today my HBO Max login stopped functioning. Tier 1 support couldnt help me on the phone. Said Specialized Support is email only & may take days

  • tgoorden Thomas Goorden 😼 (@tgoorden) reported

    My god iPads are just terrible piles of closed-ecosystem BS. Anyone have an idea how to transfer and play mp3's without going through the iTunes gauntlet of hell?

  • BenjaminSMurphy Benjamin Murphy (@BenjaminSMurphy) reported

    @hulu_support when I login online to activate a device, I’m told I don’t have a valid subscription. my subscription is through my iTunes account.

    @discoveryplus I have just spoken with iTunes support. - They cannot upgrade my subscription with you, until Jan 2022 - They cannot cancel my subscription with you, as it was started more than 60 days ago. I want to UPGRADE my service! Why is this so difficult Ticket 3583362

  • midytheimp Emily Lonalé (Emily Gold) (@midytheimp) reported

    Other than that silly top part of the screen issue on iPod 7, now I have issues with my purchases not wanting to play on it and iTunes with it claiming I'm not authorized to play it. @AppleSupport I think there's a bug with your store now.

  • thomascwall thomas wall (@thomascwall) reported

    @nickmgic @YeezyTatum @KanyePodcast why is this not working for me? it says it cant play in the browser and I can't find it on itunes

  • MinaShikantaza Takochuu (@MinaShikantaza) reported

    @MarkKel17477522 iTunes Korea only allows streaming service. Because of licensing conflicts with local music companies, we can't directly purchase music on Apple. No iTunes cards available, etc. We have Coupang instead of Amazon but it's limited and the books are too expensive if imported.

  • milascripted julia. DON’T GO YET (@milascripted) reported

    @camilacabelIos apple music is a streaming service, u can buy a song on itunes store

  • beth_blanchard Bethanie Blanchard (@beth_blanchard) reported

    Donda has given me an opportunity to login to iTunes for the first time in years and experience the truly awful UX

    Nothing wrong with apple...right...keep your taste to yourself...mate. I like my iPhone as I said on tehiverse, but I have a problem with the fact that I have to use software, iTunes to be exact, if I want to upload or download stuff from my iPhone.

  • joshkarbon Josh Karbon (@joshkarbon) reported

    Don't need Apple Music to watch Donda stream. Open up iTunes on your computer and sign in.

  • SWEETBlTCH It’s Normani ***** (@SWEETBlTCH) reported

    bought all 4 versions of wild side but iTunes is broken omg they better count

  • DJSweetbrush Baby Snark (@DJSweetbrush) reported

    @DAJIRUHU @ZOLAJESUS Daaaamn which artists/songs are you having that issue with? I haven't run into it yet but I bought a tonnof music off itunes over the years, bound to run into it and some point.

  • itsgoneyay Aaron struggles with grace (@itsgoneyay) reported

    itunes for windows sucks bad, I mean I get it. Make it ridiculous and almost broken on everything that isn't your product. Still annoying.

  • prettygaurdian_ BAGGITTARIU$ (@prettygaurdian_) reported

    Idk why iTunes always make me sign in it bugs me so much

  • shevon_whitti The_Underrated_Gem💎🤣🥴🦄 (@shevon_whitti) reported

    @debbiesodope I live in Jamaica so I can’t buy songs on ITunes so I can only stream songs on Apple Music🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺. It’s unfortunate but it’s a region issue

  • 1meen1 Wolvermeen (@1meen1) reported

    @squeak_easy @StadiaSteelMan @GoogleStadia Another comparison is Google Play Movies or iTunes, the service is free, but you still have to purchase the movies and/or music. You're still paying regardless. I'm surprised this discussion got so deep. Yeesh lol. My bad.

  • hbroadbentj Henry Broadbent-Jones (@hbroadbentj) reported

    @dmandthefuture @AppleMusic @kanyewest Sounds like it could be a connection issue. Might be worth rebooting your router or switching to data if you can. You could also try watching it on desktop/laptop with iTunes installed. Either way, you’re not missing much. It still hasn’t started yet.

  • Altavistagoogle Altavistagoogle🇨🇦 (@Altavistagoogle) reported

    @Aitch_El The subscription service is called Apple TV+. You can still rent movies in iTunes (Apple TV) without an Apple TV+ subscription. I certainly understand that you feel Apple TV+ is a poor value, particularly if you have Netflix or cable TV, but the pay extra argument is nonsensical.

  • sunili සුනිලි (they/them) (@sunili) reported

    @adamantium_wang Oh I watched Knives Out a little while ago and this was on all the “if you liked Knives Out…” lists! My only problem is I have literally 5 subscriptions and if it’s not streaming I’m so selective if I have to pay for something on iTunes!!

  • 2007Julie julie (@2007Julie) reported

    @AppleTV We have the technology for auto play, please update Apple TV with it. I purchase several TV series from iTunes and have I to start each and every episode. I know, first world problems, but that is a ridiculous glitch from the technology company.

  • brickguy6 brick (@brickguy6) reported

    @rootoftheprobl1 @YesterdaysCon its just minutes early lol, if theres anything this donda listening party has proven to me, its once again how ******* unbelievably terrible apple is with itunes and apple music on mobile and especially desktop

  • midytheimp Emily Lonalé (Emily Gold) (@midytheimp) reported

    @LiamPlayz33 My stuff IS fully updated and this stuff has been issues for many users for 3 years(the top bar missing) and at least 1 year for iTunes and Music apps saying your purchase cannot be played because you’re not authorized.

  • ajfeuerman ((( AJ Feuerman ))) (@ajfeuerman) reported

    Today I watched two great docs - GATSBY IN CONNECTICUT from @VisionFilmsInc (iTunes rental is $5) and HALSTON (inc. w/ @PrimeVideo). I feel so cultured right now, I may have to watch something truly trashy tonight to bring me down off this high horse. ;)

  • EllenaS__ 𝓔𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓪 • ❸➅❺ (@EllenaS__) reported

    Ok in order to help his full album to enter world wide digital itunes chart. I’ll find a way to help purchase But for non-apple user. It will be a little not worthy for u guys. Because after you purchase, u won’t be able to listen to it unless u login to apple Music. #Album365
