Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Min4TheWin7 Min⁷ in the BOX 🃏⟬⟭ 아포 방포⟬⟭~ Min for the Win⁷ (@Min4TheWin7) reported

    Why can’t I buy Jack in the Box by J-hope on iTunes in Canada??? I’ve been searching, what’s the problem here? Why is it always such a struggle to find newly released BTS music?!

  • hackerb0t hackerbot.eth (@hackerb0t) reported

    Using iTunes to build nuclear weapons is against their terms of service.

  • mikailadelgado mikaila delgado (@mikailadelgado) reported

    @_aIiot @YoursTruly_Band Hmmm that’s really odd :/ definitely an iTunes error… let me see if anyone else is having this problem x

  • Adequate_Scott Tom Joad The Wet Sprocket (@Adequate_Scott) reported

    @SenFeinstein Dianne Feinstein it's me your grandson. I'm in trouble with the police for saying the Pledge of Allegiance and I need bail money. They'll only accept iTunes gift cards.

  • ExLibrisNemo A Southern Nobody 🃏 (@ExLibrisNemo) reported

    @TheWaveDealer4 On Amazon, iTunes and Google Play, yes. I don't know about any others. However, my recommendation is to always download it. Otherwise, thanks to the complicated rules on copyright, it could disappear off that service and then you lose it unless it's brought back.

  • kookiefication 🐝⁷ | JACK IN THE BOX🃏 (@kookiefication) reported

    someone wanna tell me why itunes is being a total anti and not working right for me 😡

  • SinRabbit_Music S.I.N Rabbit (@SinRabbit_Music) reported

    Just to address this issue with my iTunes page. I’ve gotten mixed up with 2 distributors and now there are two copies of each of my songs on my iTunes page. I’ve contacted them many time to get the inferior copies taken off. But to no avail.

  • Aiwash18 Aiwash (@Aiwash18) reported

    It’s baffling to me how generator Rex isint on HBO Max, it’s in no other streaming service physical media seems to be non existent AND it’s too expensive to buy every eps on iTunes, this sucks

  • TheRealMattC TheRealMattC (@TheRealMattC) reported

    @johnny_frana It's cheaper to see something in a theater than it is to get a new release on iTunes/subscribe to a streaming service

  • BidenyouAss JoeBidenyouJackass! (@BidenyouAss) reported

    @Rockies So now they won't let me sign in until I sign up for an iTunes account. Never gonna happen but I hope we win and I hope rox media department learned it's lesson with Apple. I'll watch the O's. I still get them on MLB.

  • DucksFeetPete Peter Young (@DucksFeetPete) reported

    @theipaper It would be nice to see this headline. But my i newspaper app (subscribed through iTunes) is only has yesterdays. Is there an issue your side? Restore does not work

  • KarlAustin Karl Austin (@KarlAustin) reported

    @AppleSupport No problem resetting the password, that's all done and I can use it to login to iTunes. The problem comes when trying to login to anything else online, asking me to verify my address, then telling me that address is already in use!

  • andrewwatson Definitely a Robot 🔥🍕🖥️ (@andrewwatson) reported from Roswell, Georgia

    @kressaty @Stammy I have one in a box somewhere but there's no way that software still works. Didn't they shut iTunes down years ago? Mine is probably still full of propeller heads and jungle music.

  • KeyCreations2 Key Creations (@KeyCreations2) reported

    @GameMistress Had a problem once with digital music on my iTunes. They had removed some of the songs I’d bought without telling me. Luckily I had backed them all up on a separate hard drive. Unfortunately the same thing could happen with digital games. Some of them will become lost forever 😢

  • NoFacebookEver Winston Smith (@NoFacebookEver) reported

    @porpster @CharlesPPierce I know that most people listen to music that way now, so you're correct but I would imagine that rights issues have created obstacles. Anytime you have a multiple-artist set it's going to be difficult. I had to upload the CD's into my iTunes to put them all on my phone. Worth it.

  • CoreyGriffin77 Corey Griffin (@CoreyGriffin77) reported

    @SamTenpenny Ya he’s smart. His stuff doesn’t get watered down on iTunes and then y’all will pay obscene amounts of money to see him live. Artists make pretty much nothing on streams

  • TimesGlo Times Glo (@TimesGlo) reported

    (5/15) 📍 In 2005, William 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).

  • _aIiot aliot🌹 (@_aIiot) reported

    @YoursTruly_Band @mikailadelgado i pre-ordered itwill? on itunes in germany & an error keeps coming up so i can't buy it/download it :/

  • ThisIsMeTanking Carl (@ThisIsMeTanking) reported

    Demis new song not bad at all but she's too far drenched in the antimatter mother lake, not even top40 on iTunes like there's no way of saving her career atp. Let's hope she takes Ariana down w her ⚘

  • ComradeCoolcat ♭ird (jazz head era) (@ComradeCoolcat) reported

    I have been trying to back up my phone literally all day so I can finally get the new one working and be able to ******* call people again and it turns out the problem was it needed space to download my entire iTunes library onto my phone for some reason

  • ClownBeeBTS Bee🐝💜🃏BTS⁷ •̀‸• (@ClownBeeBTS) reported

    Is anyone else having issue with the stupid iTunes app for windows?

  • uhsugas mick in the box ⁷ (@uhsugas) reported

    man we’re already going down on canadian itunes what is going on… we didn’t even hit #1🥲

  • Linz77203221 Linz (@Linz77203221) reported

    Streaming his music is the next options, PRAY was the first song I bought on iTunes, even though I didn’t had an iPhone then, gave my guy that has iPhone money and told him to buy this **** for me, whenever I’m sleeping I’ll put the song on repeat and turn down my volume 👇🏾

  • ComradeCoolcat ♭ird (jazz head era) (@ComradeCoolcat) reported

    Somehow every technology problem I have ever had in my life is the result of iTunes even though I have not used it in like a decade at this point

  • 3rdculturem Third Culture Media (@3rdculturem) reported

    However, Odeo didn’t last thanks to Apple launching iTunes, which included its own podcasting platform. One of Odeao’s engineers, Jack Dorsey, came up with the concept of a service allowing users to share personal status updates via SMS to groups of people.

  • GRABSIMBA shady friday. (@GRABSIMBA) reported

    @ItzBitc15 @itsRomanbtch No she gave Card press on her first Tik Tok video which is no big deal I have no problem with it but after the press the song is still going un-bought lol look at the Amazon and iTunes Charts lol

  • ipersoncool Jesse (@ipersoncool) reported

    @TIDAL I just started a free trial of your hifi service and i love it! I only have one issue. Just one but it can be a deal breaker for me. I really want local file support. It's the reason i switched from spotify to itunes. Cohesive file imports are very important to me. 1/2

  • theicypisces primo pisces ³³³ (@theicypisces) reported

    @jaggedlittleill @Tinashe Basically someone must have posted the leaked songs onto apple music/itunes. Its not from tinashe officially though 😭 now Grip and Pay me are taken down and the others have been renamed or posted under another use

  • yinksy09 yinksy09 (@yinksy09) reported

    Social media managers use this service for Facebook Ads, bloggers use it for Namecheap and other online services. Those that subscribe to Netflix, iTunes and so on. It is sad 😔

  • _DaisyBlaine Author Daisy Blaine (@_DaisyBlaine) reported

    @LindsayLHess Oh God I'm going down an iTunes rabbit hole now. This made my day infinitely better. Good work, friend!
