    I don’t think enough people talk about how iTunes Match is only about 95% effective with its matches. I love the service, I’ve paid for it for years. But the Apple nerd community never seemed to acknowledge the fact that it’ll randomly miss 2 songs on a 10 track album.

  • rachel_reviews Rachel's Reviews (@rachel_reviews) reported from Draper, Utah

    Slow down my stupid @iTunes froze on me and isn't letting me play the movie! 🤨

  • afrikabokkie Afrikabokkie (@afrikabokkie) reported from Ingleby Barwick, England

    @RachaelEccles I have bitten my nsils down to the quick since I can remember. I am 53. COVID made me realise putting my fingers in my mouth could kill me. Found you on @iTunes , and voila! No more nail biting! I haven’t bitten since March. Thank you! #nailbiting #Hypnotherapy

  • mchuntley MCHuntley (@mchuntley) reported from Costa Mesa, California

    @jeweldub @pulte I had to dig out my Win10 laptop with iTunes on it to be able to subscribe, rate, and comment. I couldn't do it from my Android phone, nor my Linux ( Ubuntu ) desktop. I need to try it from my Linux ( Raspian ) SBC desktop, but I expect the same issues. Can you install iTunes?

    @IainWal41397148 It's an issue with iTunes I think

  • amarksteadman Mark Steadman (@amarksteadman) reported from Birmingham, England

    @evoterra @Podnews @misener Yeah, I found that too, when I tried to do something similar. It’s possible that Castro synced with the iTunes Store API before they locked it down? The RSS feed URL that is associated is legit though, and comes from Apple

  • nikolateslahot Denis Hot, esq., doctorate (sach, i'm fucking hot) (@nikolateslahot) reported from Brooklyn, New York

    i love @hbo only lol sacha has @showtime throughout software as a service through lower data costs. we’re not paying dues here, sue iTunes that’s your claim to luck i guess idk. Tower?

  • andyjcolman Andy Colman (@andyjcolman) reported from Liverpool, England

    With Spotify down, I’ve been forced into working out to my circa 2006 iTunes playlist on Apple Music. Limewire come through 🦠

  • 7lourderthanUGH L̳i̳l̳i̳t̳h̳⁷🇻🇪⟭⟬•BTSisComing•♫♪♩·. (@7lourderthanUGH) reported from Valencia, Estado Carabobo

    We sincerely love to be able to help on iTunes but it can't be done yet, so we are looking at ways we can help. The problem for us is more than anything else also the economic situation. Most can't even buy the boys' album. I'm really thinking about doing this project.

  • ItsSaraahh_ Sarah 💁‍♀️ (@ItsSaraahh_) reported from Exeter District, England

    @MrsLRoches I was trying to watch some episodes of carpool karaoke and took me 2 hours to finally play it, as it wasn't on YouTube - not great quality anyway and edited right down so not full episodes, and bc I had to download iTunes onto my laptop I then, to watch the episodes, sign up to

  • kevdog2112 Kevin Osterhout (@kevdog2112) reported from Orlando, Florida

    @cheeseflavor iTunes doesn’t have that problem. I think it autocorrects it.

  • ateka_p 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚞𝚔𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝙽𝚢𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚐𝚘 (@ateka_p) reported from Nairobi, Nairobi

    @iam_bett Try updating it via iTunes on your comp, if there are errors sadly you have to restore it to factory settings

  • MrHinsh Martin Hinshelwood 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 🇲🇽 (@MrHinsh) reported from Newton Mearns, Scotland

    @AppleSupport Nope, you have to set up this crap before you get to set up 2 factor. Still can't login to Apple TV and thinking that ITunes on Windows was your pinicle of software innovation.

  • gsxr_drew Drew (@gsxr_drew) reported from Houston, Texas

    @baesickv All in all, if you do the following, you should have no issues since you can see all the photos already synced to iCloud. 1) Backup to iCloud. 2) Restore via iTunes or Finder on Catalina. (Clears the majority of system and other off) 3) Select your iCloud backup to restore.

  • Hellbilly_sYnn Darth Cobra (@Hellbilly_sYnn) reported from Sioux Falls, South Dakota

    @JustinWWells single for Walls Fall Down on iTunes says it’s not available in the US. Is this accurate?

  • freelancerjourn freelancejournalist (@freelancerjourn) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @peacockTV Will you all have your own app that can be downloaded from the Apple and Android app stores? I pre-ordered (signed up for) the streaming service today. But am confused about how I can actually watch. Looked for an app in the iTunes App Store.

  • temmybanjo1 youtube: temmybanjo (@temmybanjo1) reported from Lagos, Lagos State

    Apple/ iTunes debited me 14,500 over the night for an app 😑. They shoved 1year subscription down my throat 😭.

  • NomineeMusic Nominee (@NomineeMusic) reported from Jollyville, Texas

    @TRAPTOFFICIAL @egacwerd1 @iTunes Again, even if they did hold numbers- say they held 5,000 sales - that’s still piss poor for a band that used to be in the spotlight. Y’all were on the grind soundtrack. How did you **** this up? You ****** yourself with your bullshit rhetoric and 4-5 terrible albums.

  • gelseybell Gelsey Bell (@gelseybell) reported from Brooklyn, New York

    @nightafternight It takes up 100 GB on my computer. I hate Apple... the best guess I’ve heard is that it’s an iTunes problem.

  • jackkierosee jacqueline 🌹 (@jackkierosee) reported from League City, Texas

    Spotify is down so now I’m listening to the old songs I bought off iTunes in 2012 😣

  • Doug_Blackwell Doug Blackwell (@Doug_Blackwell) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    @ZeroArmour It’s not on iTunes Canada. Four places on Amazon Canada list the OST as “Out of Stock”. Actually, I know this series. Got halfway through it when the website where I was watching them closed down.

    @marylttlelamb @rmchartsdata @BTS_twt it's Apple music not iTunes. We still have problems to buy on iTunes, we cannot find cards with high limits (it is part of the economic problem of our country) 😓

    Gonna search ITunes. Give me song suggestions in 3, 2, 1... Comment down below.

  • carter_powe76 Ethan (@carter_powe76) reported from Austell, Georgia

    Umm I really don’t know what the barbs are doing right now like how hard is it to go #1 on iTunes we be doing that like every week but now it’s a problem

  • cjracingstables Robert CJ Smith (@cjracingstables) reported from Guelph/Eramosa, Ontario

    @EBischoff @HeyHeyItsConrad. Lucha Underground ran 2 seasons on Netflix in North America. It did well til all their legal issues, but there was never any fan fare when it came out it seemed. I watched LU on Itunes and didn't know it was in Netflix until just before they pulled it

  • alistairlogie Alistair Logie (@alistairlogie) reported from City of Roseville, California

    @settern As the one-person-who-actually-understands-iTunes-match-and-iCloud-Music-Library, do you know how to resolve the issue of matched m4a files that stop playing part way through the song? Deleting and redownloading appears to download the same corrupt file.

  • aguycalledJonny AGuyCalledJonny (@aguycalledJonny) reported from Brighouse, England

    @heartshapedoll Ha! I’m too far down the line with iTunes and didn’t fancy having 2 library’s lol - not sure there is much difference other than cost I think ?

  • paulmi98 Paul Mickey (@paulmi98) reported from Russellville, Arkansas

    So a few days ago, I downloaded my @GooglePlayMusic Library since it is shutting down. I decided to merge it with my old @iTunes library (bad idea since it was originally based on that library), then sync it with my @AppleMusic Library Now I have a lot of duplicates of music.

  • petefrasermusic Pete Fraser (@petefrasermusic) reported from Stockholms Kommun, Stockholm

    @pylonfan I feel like it’s a little like a larger version of ‘the iTunes problem’; trying to compress decades worth of features into more and more new products, sacrificing NO old ones, and trying to bend every new one into the shape of every old one. Ho hum!

  • 7lourderthanUGH L̳i̳l̳i̳t̳h̳⁷🇻🇪⟭⟬•BTSisComing•♫♪♩·. (@7lourderthanUGH) reported from Valencia, Estado Carabobo

    @shesawseesaw sincerely we would like to support on iTunes but it can't be done yet, so we are looking at ways we can help. The problem for us is more than anything else also the economic situation. Most can't even buy the boys' album. I'm really thinking about doing this project
