  @TrveCvltPop Awww that U2 album got loaded onto everyone's ITunes & the latest iPhone at the time, brings back memories of that episode of broken records of that album, talking about how that the whole thing devalued music even the same thing was said when Radiohead released In Rainbows

  @Sevo6xHPnVaRvbl @woah_pinkhorse @torako_tiger most likely or a rendering error from the itunes version

  Bonjour for Windows Print Service largely is sunset. Apple hasn't updated it and no longer ships it with clean iTunes installs. Apple has moved away from iTunes too. A testament to it is that Apple only had to update it a few times in over a decade, whereas UPnP received literally thousands of (critical) Windows security updates. Bonjour may no longer be needed for new Windows printers, but it remains useful for older printers with drivers no longer maintained. Bonjour itself has succeeded UPnP, which now Microsoft largely relegates to... You guessed it, printing.

  Problem is. I don’t have Spotify, or stationhead, or whatever the streaming service is. I have ITunes.

  You know what I don't get (also I really miss my itunes library) youtube music randomly omiting tracks from albums on their service. like ok. ignoring the randomly removing albums / items from libraries and general data controlling your playback experience.

  @FikirtemariamG a hero was walking around the merch line offering cash to US people to buy on Haegeum on Itunes and they turned her down "we stream" and "I don't use iTunes" :(

  @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.

  I 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!

  @AbhishekMarkets I would say that most people use iPhone because it is easy to upgrade. In android there is no full backup option like itunes that backs up passwords, notes and logins also. If you think you know some free apps that backup whole android (u can exclude login) let me know

  @WillFaucherVFX Use iTunes and do a backup, my phone had the same issue and Apple doesn’t let users clear your cache easily. 💩

  My biggest issue with the #AppleTV app is that I cannot pick my dealt viewing source. If I purchase something from iTunes, I do not want to watch from a streaming service (due to the commercials). @Apple please fix this. You are making buying something on iTunes less valuable by defaulting to the streaming apps.

  @BigPurrPurr @Angeliinaaax_ @MrsTOH2O Thank you. It’s like it’s 2 factions. 1) OG-iTunes/Apple Music Lib & 2) Apple Music + that you now pay $10/mon for. Before AM was a place where we could take our own cds upload into the app, & buy music from iTunes & make playlists for free. This pay service changed everything.

  Damn Apple TV worked with my itunes ID last year. Now its not working.

  @myyoutae Not necessarily. A lot depends on how much of the gp use a streaming service, and how consistent they are. In this case, it's even different: iTunes chart is impacted by sales, something that Spotify doesn't do

  @shrimpscorpse @wannarockwithm3 @PopBase Exactly that's part of the joke cause someone literally burned a rep CD cause it knocked Miley down on iTunes. 😭 Mind you, you can't even buy rep on her site right now. 😭

  People who use Apple Music or iTunes should be aware of some changes to their service. Starting March 1st, 2018, Apple Music will no longer offer ad-free listening. In addition

  @VeritasKnight i could list up a quick "introductory best-of" half-dozen, just to find out if it'd be your style or not. i mean there are a few terrible episodes, and bad luck could pick a stinker... i *think* it's available on any of Amazon, iTunes, Roku, and Tubi

  @tina247_t All of there cameras are broken or they need a iTunes card so they can video chat so you can see if they're real or not LoL hahaha

  Again, @Sonos ??? 90 minutes on chat/phone with support staff to try (unsuccessfully) to re-establish connection to my iTunes Library. Same bullshit a lot of us went through in early 2024. And after a lot of lip service from leadership about being better. Nope ... not better ...

  @Gammitin You technically don't own the music on a CD you buy, either And I technically don't own the hypothetical stash of music that I got off Limewire back in the day I'm not a fan of iTunes (or whatever it's called these days), but it's not like it's just a streaming service

  Why is the Music app on Mac unable to play albums gapless? Apple solved this problem in iTunes 20 years ago @tim_cook

  There are a few ways to safely get your semijailbroken iPad up to date, depending on how much access you have and how broken the device is.The easiest way is to connect to iTunes on a computer and update the iPad. If you don't have access to a computer
