iTunes Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • rufidada Rauf Muhammad (@rufidada) reported

    @UmerMahvish @my55cents Yes. I believe it can be reset. You have to login through iTunes. I remember doing that probably over 5 years ago. YouTube should have videos to explain it.

  • ashley_ryan_15 Ashley Ryan (@ashley_ryan_15) reported

    @TimSweeneyEpic You got what you wanted - the ability to direct iOS users to external payment methods. That's bad enough - iTunes billing is incredibly convenient for consumers, typing in credit card details and creating accounts for every little service that exists.

  • iamhopeeey Accio some A/C✨ (@iamhopeeey) reported

    @ultralesbeam When they shut down itunes and google play music I put all my 10k+ songs on the Plex system. Works well on my Mac too👌🏾

  • SeanMoodyPhoto Sean Moody (@SeanMoodyPhoto) reported

    @PerrinJohnson I try to, as long as the blu-ray includes a download code. It’s more convenient to stream it through iTunes, but I like having the physical media in case of a network outage.

  • DJOceans LA 2020 Champs (@DJOceans) reported

    @JvyWrxght Numark Mixtrack Pro 3... 8.3 worked fine before the Catalina update. Now after Catalina, my iTunes doesn't produce an .xml file which VDJ uses as a path/instructions to find my music. No issues with the controller. When I download a *new* song into iTunes, my VDJ won't find it

  • SimonTetens Simon Tetens (@SimonTetens) reported

    @AppleSupport @ruiisuD Issue persists if language is set to English and after install... Seriously, when are we getting Apple Music App for Windows so iTunes can finally be put to rest?

  • mhewson_CMC Michael Hewson 🇬🇧 (@mhewson_CMC) reported

    Hi @AppleSupport can you explain why the iTunes app no longer works on Windows 10 with UK language settings. It generates an error "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes". And before you ask I have - countless times

  • johnbungle John Lawrence (@johnbungle) reported

    @AppleSupport Hi thank you, I tried this link which is saw on a different post and i got an error message saying that I had a newer version of iTunes so it wouldn’t install. I have changed my user display from English uk to English USA and iTunes now works.

  • ImAbhijithP Abhijith P 🍥 (@ImAbhijithP) reported

    @vishalkungani @Apple @AppleSupport Same here, I took backup through iTunes and done a restore and solved the issue. But still Other storage & iPad OS taking around 18gb🥲

  • quinneverett Quinn (@quinneverett) reported

    2/2 not sure if restoring from iCloud backup has the same issue as it did with iTunes backups, but better to be safe than sorry. Maybe hold off 2 days on the 15.1 update tho?

  • AntonyWrites Antony Ingram (@AntonyWrites) reported

    Well iOS 15 hasn't notably broken my old SE but it did break iTunes on my PC, has made syncing even more drawn-out once I reinstalled, and has created a super messy file system for backing up, so doing anything outside of Apple's ecosphere has become even less fun.

  • SelGomezsRare R (@SelGomezsRare) reported

    iTunes is not working on my window computer. @AppleSupport do something!

  • _Josh_YT_ OCD_on_YT ⛩ (@_Josh_YT_) reported

  • AlasdairStuart Alasdair Stuart (@AlasdairStuart) reported

    Sooooo...is everyone else having itunes issues? We're getting 'SOME REQUIRED FILES ARE MISSING.' and it listed as not currently available on two machines.

  • AdamRCahill Adam Reed Cahill (@AdamRCahill) reported

    @joycalhio It’s mostly cause music recorded analog sounds weird through a digital file if it’s not remastered.Levels are off.Tool did this when they went to iTunes a couple years ago.Used to have to turn phone down to listen to albums on iPhone cause the mix was off.

  • Heritageherit3 HERITE ⚜️🐺 (@Heritageherit3) reported

    @Ehirimkelvin @Emmy_Wise10 Running shows up and down the country.... Over 40 million streams.... Album charting 30 on world wide iTunes.. still charting on Apple music... Should I stop or you want to remain ignorant.

  • Bellz2012 Belinda Rose (@Bellz2012) reported

    So @apple have decided to remove ITunes from rhe Microsoft store. Looks like they don't want money since they are now forcing us to use a different service to buy music. Smh. @AppleSupport

  • Try2StopME 𝕋ꫝꫀ 𝕂𝕂 (@Try2StopME) reported

    @iPhoneHackx Just download the new IOS on iTunes desktop & connect the iphone to update. No issues.

  • AlasdairStuart Alasdair Stuart (@AlasdairStuart) reported

    Sidebars: This isn't a serious music issue as we don't buy music through Apple This is not an invitation to explain about how other music programs are available. It's also not an invitation to respond with how much itunes sucks. Which none of you will, but, have to say it.

  • KatDray Kat (@KatDray) reported

    Anyone, like me, having trouble opening iTunes due to 'missing files' today due to a misfiring update - you need to change your Windows language setting to English (US). Don't ask me why but it works.

  • sagaston Shawn Gaston (@sagaston) reported

    After not touching it at all for a year and a half, I'm massively pruning my iTunes collection. Cleared out a decade worth of DJing burlesque shows and other random cruft. I've got it down to 20,000 songs or 150 gigs now. I can definitely clear out more, but not as quickly.

  • frldsm frldsm (@frldsm) reported

    wanted to draw but kinda lazy. The drawing turned out the way I didn’t imagined. Also I have issues syncing my iTunes library from my iMac to my iPhone. Every time sync, some song automatically removed from the playlist & this frustrates me as I have to put back all the songs

  • casuallymeta CJ aka No Beard the Pirate (@casuallymeta) reported

    Got my rss feed issues corrected. @anchor support is always on point. We're up on almost all platforms now, just waiting on #iTunes approval.

  • MrsWind_e Kelly (@MrsWind_e) reported

    @cdkeyscom_en is there a problem with processing orders at the moment. Just tried several times for an iTunes voucher and the screen has the process circle spinning and then does nothing 😢

  • carolynrivas CarolinaATX (@carolynrivas) reported

    Beware! IOS 15 killed my iPhone 6S Plus. No big deal but while in the Apple store, heard another person having same problem (iPhone 12). My phone updated overnight & seemed to be ok but soon started reboot loop. Couldn’t update or factory reset with iTunes. #ios15 #ios15bug

  • ishanagarwal24 Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) reported

    @4_viz That is also free with Apple devices so what exactly are you on about? Move to iOS is a free app. Backing up with Mac or iTunes is also free. But some people don't have the devices or there maybe another issue and iCloud is a convenient method? Weird reason to whine.

  • ocira tony (@ocira) reported

    @CompoundAmerica 1st last weds show never loaded to iTunes . 2 problem with yesterday feed. Let’s go people. It’s only 4 shows a week ( most weeks) as it is. Signed loyal listener/ subscriber

  • HueJashole HueJashole (@HueJashole) reported

    @MarkTremonti Now & Forever was never made available on iTunes. Anybody else having this problem?
