Bob 🐊🇺🇸 (@Filmbeloh20) reported@EricVldw @Munky_Berto I'm on like my 10th new Mac since iTunes was rolled out and I've never had a problem sending my tunes to a new machine. It's in the 'Music' folder under 'iTunes' You can drag them all straight to a external hard drive.

🤍💜 Scythe of Luna 💜🤍 (@scythe_of_luna) reportedidk if my music gonna be re/released on apple/itunes, no new releases are live after more than a month passed, also I can't login into my artist account cuz my phone number is "NOT OK". ********. who cares about apple anyway. Spotify is the way <3
-
Stixu.io (@StickDiagrammer) reported@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
-
Himanshu Dhrangad🇮🇳 (@dhrangad) reported@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

Seth Lukas Hynes ✍️📕🧬🪐✨🤖👽🧠💻💉💉💉 (@SethHynes) reported@Miyakoottv Since the first-generation Apple TV cannot log into the iTunes servers as of 2018, it's completely useless today unless you hack an alternative OS onto it. Running Leopard, the Apple TV is a surprisingly stable and capable cut-down Mac.
-
YASMIN 💸 (@BENITOMARAJ) reportedYall are terrible for not taking alone to #1 on iTunes 😭
-
ani (@beaarthur85) reportednever updated to spotify or apple music because i still use youtube to mp3 and itunes. why should i change what already works and add a monthly fee to it plus the issue of "oh the artist is having a dispute now the music isn't available." i have ALL the power for free on itunes.
-
PrincessDianaRemix SOTY ᴺᴹ☆メ𝟶🦄 (@ProudOfYouNicki) reportedMath aint mathing...... Alone 2M+ streams hours ago so possibly 2.25M-2.5M Globally so probably around 1.25M-1.5M from US now with barely any playlisting & it went down another spot on iTunes and iTunes is originally where we get Nicki doing numbers solo & collabs 😞

Homeless (@homelesst9) reportedspotify is down all i got is the undertale soundtrack on itunes

☽⛧☾༺ 𝔏𝔶𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔴𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥 ༻☽⚧︎☾ (@LycanWitchcraft) reportedFalse. 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.

𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓪 ⁷ 💜 (@mariawithIuv) reported@taetan77 Billboard, itunes, numerous records on spotify plus his numbers are great, has charting albums in so many countries around the world and I could keep going on but just go back to your main and stop talking about hoseok instead of trying to bring him down
-
Simply Nyawful (@nyawful) reportedGot $100 from my mom for my birthday. Spent $20 on a book for myself + BUCK-TICK's latest album on iTunes... ...and $70 on books and toys for my 3yo 👀. I... acknowledge I have a problem 😭. Doesn't help I started buying from Mercari, some good deals there on toys. 😔
-
Erica Narofsky (@frz3rbRnotaku1) reportedProblem is. I don’t have Spotify, or stationhead, or whatever the streaming service is. I have ITunes.

dani 击̸ XØ (@daniimustdie) reported@bulletsforlunch its disabled cause i havent used it in like 6 years.... i was tryna restore it on itunes but i keep getting errors
-
AJ on The Go! (@AjjjiAjii) reported@alexcooldev Bro the biggest issue is making itunes account of another country. How do we do that ?
-
Revenge of the Jedi (@Francesco_Adam) reportedCan we make it easier to get custom ringtones and alert tones? I have no problem purchasing them, but the current State of the iTunes Store is pretty bad. @iTunes @Apple @AppleSupport
-
I⁷, misses BTS, (D-Day) (@nightstarjoon) reportedThat song that we had trouble taking the #1 place of on U.S. iTunes is all over my tiktok FYP
-
᧔࿔᧓ 𝕆𝕟𝕚𝕜𝕒’𝕤 𝕄𝕚𝕒𝕞𝕚 ໒꒰ྀི ˶ᵔ ³ ᵔ˶ ꒱ྀིა (@onikasmiami) reportedThey down play being #1 on iTunes (an artist generating pure revenue from the interest around their brand mind you) cuz the last 20 btch3s who dropped weren’t able to do it. Can’t even break even on ROI bc their label too busy buying placements forcing ppl to have interest 😭
-
Michael Darius (@hcidarius) reported@shahbazmagsii Always down for a good party. I designed the iTunes Muaic Store.
-
Adam Seymour (@ASeymour1878) reported@Joel_CP_70 @FBAwayDays "Terrible" song got to number 1 on iTunes btw
-
AJStrong on BlueSky (@aj_strong) reportedSo far, Apple Music/iTunes is still bloatware with a terrible interface and broken functionality. Sad. #WWDC25
-
Dean Devlin (@Dean_Devlin) reported@mpetruzz Really?? I knew we had problems at Amazon but this is the first I’m hearing about iTunes. Damn! Ok looking into it.
-
holly ✭ (@spongebobinof) reported@ghiblijoonies I bought the terrible single on iTunes so I’ve been getting my money’s worth and listening on there lol
-
✨twilight sparkle✨ (@TwiIySparky) reported@Sevo6xHPnVaRvbl @woah_pinkhorse @torako_tiger most likely or a rendering error from the itunes version
-
Jackie (Weatheronthe8s) (@Weatheronthe8s) reported@NekoMichiUBC I always install the iOS or iPadOS beta on the day of release just for fun. However, I don't recommend it for anybody's main device, or for anybody who can't troubleshoot tech issues. I once had to restore an iPad through iTunes due to a charging issue in a beta...
-
leo🪞¹³ (@kittenlover_123) reportedhis very own company stopped his promotions just 10 days into its release and focused everything on another member, billboard changed rules last minute to sabotage his success and his own company stayed silent for weeks.. not to forget that they took the album down from itunes
-
Meng Meng (she/her) (@mengiemeng) reported@InsaneMegaCD Apple used to have this problem with iTunes in like 2009 then like most DRM they let you deauthorise a device remotely. Kids break Switchs, sometimes the original device is destroyed. This shows how behind the times Nintendo is.
-
𝐷𝑅𝐸 (@CockinessIV) reportedReally trying to understand why “Alone”STILL isn’t #1 on iTunes? Wtf is the problem Barbz? 🤨
-
𝒫ℯ𝓉𝓇𝒶 (@petra_pez80) reported@SAS2you @dickwarlock13 yes, she said that one phone that depp allegedly throw out the window (in reality SHE was the one throwing HIS phone out), she said its broken and on this was evidence. and she had no backup. who in their right mind believes that she had no backop on itunes or cloud???
