  @HSajwanization TBH Apple has never been very good at software. iTunes has sucked for years. Phone updates regularly have problems.

  @rustytatra @Gammitin But all totally inaccessible and unavailable unless you first download and install the itunes spyware app, create an account, sign in and provide payment details, then perhaps it might be possible to see what is available. Physical media requires none of that BS.

  Absolutely appalled at the @Apple service in India. I’ve had an issue with the Add Funds option for ages and nothing, nothing has been done about it so far. It’s getting increasingly difficult for me to renew my subscriptions because iTunes just won’t let me add funds

  @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.

  @SphynxterRisen2 I have a plex server but I like getting 4K HDR and sometimes even 3D movies (for Vision Pro) so I usually just buy movies dirt cheap on sale. My iTunes library has been running since the iPod days and I have hundreds of movies

  Come on @AppleMusic we are in 2023 ! One does not ask customers to install an anoying app to unsubscribe to a cloud service. I can't AND don't wanna install ITunes on all my devices ! Have a good day though.

  @HONGSMINGKI I think part of the problem is I have no idea where to stream. I am constantly playing the music video but I only learned about iTunes last night.

  @luvmesum_sweet @Cyamtha84617841 I’m too scared to make a post 🙈 but our song is down to number 3 on ITunes. Are y’all still streaming. I wanted to stay on #1 for a couple more days.

  First, some context. By early 2004, the iPod had become the world's most popular music player. Over 2 million units sold. 30 million songs downloaded from iTunes. But Apple faced a massive problem:

  False. Music “purchased” through iTunes, you’re not buying the music itself, you’re buying a license to use the music. While it has the illusion of ownership, you don’t actually own it, ie you need to sign in and authorize your computer for the music files to work, you are limited to burning the songs to disc 7 times total, songs not downloaded or backed up can disappear if the content right holders pull their license with Apple, not allowed to sell or trade or anything beyond personal use with the music, etc.

  @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.

  @1000kilobytes I'm starting to believe it's futile, I've been opening radar issues since 2015 about iTunes (now Music) library management, and the bugs are still there 10 years later

  Mariah Carey's World (@MCareysWorld) reported 48 minutes ago

  Anyone knows if the issues with iTunes (the song was listed as an album instead of a single which is why is not appearing on any charts and people can't find it) have been fixed? #TypeDangerous @MariahAlerts @MariahCarey

  @brittscapes I thought for sure it was on Apple Music but apparently their streaming service didn’t even exist then, I bought it on iTunes??

  The first episode of OVA 2 for Attack on Titan is currently unavailable to purchase on iTunes and Funimation. This is due to a licensing issue with the anime. It is not known when or if the episode will be available again. I need your help.

  @KEMBE_X Man, I don’t even stream - I buy allllll my ****! Physicals, exclusive drops, merch, all’at… Bandcamp (preferably) or iTunes. [****’s actually kinda a problem]

  I seriously don't know what the problem is with playing from iTunes Home Sharing onto my Apple TV units. One is a 4K, and the other is the basic model which lacks USB and Ethernet. I've done every possible thing to get it working, and it ceases to work. On Windows 11. Time to go Mac only and see if it works.

  Oh 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?
