Loner✌🏾😒 (@yourmajesty1135) reported@chanelbarbie0 Spotify was down for a while and ITunes was frozen. Even Apple Music was moving slow! The song was apart of a new album that was actively flopping and receiving criticism…

Stuffed Burrito Entertainment (@StuffedBurritoE) reportedOh my gosh, #AppleMusic is so trash. I'm on a free trail, and the **** barely works. I mean, I guess you need to use it on an Apple product 'cause I can't log into itunes on my PC, it won't log into my Roku. Anyone else have issues with Apple Music?
-
DivXMaN (@crypto_div) reported@icecube Use FindMy to issue the command to wipe it remotely in case it goes online. Most likely a baggage handler took it- they'll connect it to iTunes, erase it, and reinstall iOS. Highly unlikely you're getting it back.
-
chrissyx (@AplIntelligence) reportedI ran into several issues updating to iOS 26 - Windows users CANNOT update to iOS 26 yet iTunes & Apple Devices app say that you must update your app in order to upgrade to iOS 26 3uTools runs into the issue saying there's some http error with systemtime, Older macOS devices too, and unUpdated iPhones too, say that it requires an update to download iOS 26, but 3uTools on Mac works. While writing this, I flashed my phone!

🇮🇹🇮🇹 (@marblur1) reported@MorganWallen I'm the problem album return at 1 on us itunes album charts. He outsold "Reputation, I'm the fraud of music industry" version by Taylor swift.

Stammy (@Stammy) reportediOS App Store + itunes store was too powerful. And it wasn’t a good media player. At the time it had to replace your iPod so it needed to be powerful for music too imo And i recall various hardware issues (mainly slow) and being exclusive to just Sprint back when switching carriers was a huge hassle
-
Aleksa Sarai 暗号君 (@lordcyphar) reported@ibuildthecloud Stuff like the Newton is the obvious counterexample, but for a more modern example -- iTunes was apocalyptically bad for a very long time. For a more spicy take -- the iPhone was basically a toy until iPhone 5 (or 4, if you ignore the reception issues). A very Vista/7 dynamic.

lulamile nkompela 🇿🇦 (@Bralu_nkompela) reported@Interredd @King1FoReal @Mo_Magoda Problem is these companies itunes/Spotify take almost 50% of the fee and artist like Zonke are not studio artist,they make use sessional musicians when they record so from the 50% they they need to pay these sessional musicians/studio time etc not making much from everything
-
Reuben (@kedging) reported@Grummz If I can figure out a way to mix Android with macOS (Apple TV movies and iTunes), then I can see jumping. Problem is Google is Android, or it was. Like I said, need to research.
-
eli 🫧 (@studylew) reported@hikkichaeri nooooo u can technically do that if u want w the itunes store but apple music is a normal subscription service just like spotify! it’s £1 more expensive than spotify premium individual iirc
-
chandrashekhar (@cathavale) reported@utsavtechie To do any operation with iCloud, istorage,itunes is extremely complicated. With iphone it becomes even more clumsy. Even first sign in itself is tough for a first timer. This also is one of the reasons for ordinary people to not use it.
