    @SubToretto @TimesSqKungFu That's fair, but it's worth mentioning that iTunes just doesn't function as it should on PC. Absolutely terrible, and they seemingly have no interest in fixing it, as it's been like this for years.

    @BrianRoemmele @zandorghost Not yet sir. Movie & popcorn & fam next bit. But I ran into an issue with iTunes. It downloaded my account but it throws a message I need to authorize thru Accounts Tab pull down >authorize> but the choices are in ghost mode- can’t click. It’s got to be in a main user preference

  • jm_anpanman aly⁷🪞|| LC WEEK 4 ( exams slow) (@jm_anpanman) reported

    @Lily_Lu2 For buying, I use the itunes desktop app on my PCs. I use a lot of different apple IDs on that app to buy. On one device, after I buy the songs on an apple ID, I delete the songs from the library, login to another apple ID and buy again.

    @ashEmpire @thechewbecka Spotify is working. It’s itunes that is an issue. Working on it.

    @ElaineB78114149 @slnt_prtgnst @kookgallery_ I don’t think jk is their crack in the industry, jimin has made stock go up in Korea, in Tiffany & Co and Doir broken records in the USA and is still making history on the BB. ITunes and if jk can do that than he’s the crack, but idts

  • minieskies Face by Jimin 🪞 (@minieskies) reported

    Btw not sure why the automatic assumption is ONLY BTS store didn't count. That was NOT case for week2 y'all need to stop with that narrative. Week2, Luminate counted fewer sales than even just itunes + Amazon so it wasn't not just a store problem. They used an arbitrary number

  • Tips2Bell LOVE (@Tips2Bell) reported

    @AishaYesufu If you need Netflix login at 1k, dstv login,show max login, and YouTube tv login, Facebook and iTunes kindly Dm me

  • D1CKBICYCLE wanda ⚠️ (@D1CKBICYCLE) reported

    @riotusa_ A lot of people are having trouble buying the song on iTunes because they cant find it by search. Please can you help?

  • hollywoodgirl05 Taryn (@hollywoodgirl05) reported

    Is @Apple having issues? I’m trying to buy something but it won’t let me on any of the iTunes or app stores 😒

  • pilot_winds Gator Stephens the Pilot of the 4 Winds (@pilot_winds) reported

    @BrianRoemmele I have now discovered that my iTunes is downloaded but this computer isn’t authorized in Accounts menu - but drag down > options won’t engage. Both are faint. I think it is related to the issue with the chat folder. Thinking

  • 1lex___ 𝓛𝓔𝓧 (@1lex___) reported

    @Mistalova11 oh dang probably so, I never ran into that problem before. what country are you in? would you be able to buy on iTunes instead? if you haven't yet.

  • BennyIsConfused Beatrice Quinn (@BennyIsConfused) reported

    So when I need a new phone later in my life, I’m gonna say **** it and go back to an android. Only thing is: I use iTunes and refuse to do a streaming service. So my request to y’all is… What’s a suitable music-playing device that stores a lot of music and has Bluetooth?

  • BlueeDenise ⟭ BlueeDenise⁷⟬ D-DAY 아포방포 💜 Military Wife (@BlueeDenise) reported

    @ThePopBase Some say 7-8 some say 10-11 were already the sales outside from D2C.. which doesnt leave us with many D2C buyers than with 5 vers. Tho then again i also dont believe IP could be the issue cos either itunes purchases use the same IP as well or they all use different IPs..

  • jorritvangeffen Jorrit Jan van Geffen (@jorritvangeffen) reported

    @ERT_Aidan Main issues I’m having is frames on my end due to the many programs I need to run in the back during the Creator Series, OBS, Camera software, Itunes for the camera software, Teamtelemetry, spotify, discord, streamdeck, THE F1 GAME THAT MY LAPTOP CAN BARELY HANDLE. Etc

  • ImMrNoName Brad ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@ImMrNoName) reported

    @4ForFore I think iTunes is one of the biggest piece of **** apps out there. How something that gets updated as frequently as it does and to still have library problems is beyond me. To answer your ? - no, nothing new at least

  • thechewbecka Becka (@thechewbecka) reported

    @JohnSinke604 iTunes was the issue but it’s fixed now!

  • itguy1138 Andy (@itguy1138) reported

    🤔 itunes or amazon for Picard season 3 soundtrack? Might actually go with itunes since apple devices seem to have trouble anymore keeping tracks in order. Even if it's not the case I feel like track order is important for this #StarTrekPicard

  • LOVEISWHATIT1 NICKI IS QUEEN 🦄♉️ (@LOVEISWHATIT1) reported

    @homoraj_ @novabarbiie Yepp, talking crazy like they ain’t flopping on iTunes, payola not working on iTunes only on billboard for them, now they mad

  • Leyna_777 FACE🤍DDAY🤍PROOF (@Leyna_777) reported

    @Jimin1013Lala09 @Koobidivines It'snt website store the problem. All iTunes Sales last time don't counted too 19k vs 14,9k. The problem is just Billboard.

  • Leyna_777 FACE🤍DDAY🤍PROOF (@Leyna_777) reported

    @AngelJimin23 It'snt problem of website. Last minute only 15k on 19k iTunes are counted. It's just Billboard Frauds.

  • aka_aaron_ AK (@aka_aaron_) reported

    @JonDStauffer @BryanWeigel Probably. They sent me the normal Apple/iTunes refund request link. Not even sure how I’ll request since I get it free with season tickets. Just figured I’d try to make their error hurt them a little more.

  • 4ForFore 4ForFore (@4ForFore) reported

    Has anyone else just started having problems with your iTunes library? Or is it just me? I'm all of a sudden missing a **** ton of my music in iTunes, but the music is still there in my iTunes Media file.

  • iluv_will will 🦋 (@iluv_will) reported

    @YuriMinaj01 @onikascrown esp when WTF dropped n all i was seeing was ALONE is gonna do sm better and chart #1 like calm down and act take in WTF it’s not all abt constantly getting #1’s on itunes

  • Arshaiden345 Arshaiden💎🎲| STREAM SWEET APPETITE (@Arshaiden345) reported

    @irysinghope I use YT Premium personally cause I just download the videos so I can play when out of wifi zones, but I use a JP Spotify account also which I find works well. I have refused to use Apple Music/iTunes for about 10+ years because of how much I disliked the way the service worked.

  • QueDaGoddess Queen Tingz ᴺᴹ♠️ (@QueDaGoddess) reported

    Yall I'm noticing it's hard to find the clean version on iTunes if you doing a search. I had to use the link Nicki has in Bio which only brings up Explicit version. I then clicked on related to find the clean. Not sure if anyone else was having that issue.

  • nehu1306 Neh👾 ⁷ (@nehu1306) reported

    @stopbeingdelulu Rather than deleted they aren't ready to count D2C sales(Direct to Consumer).They are only counting middlemen involved like from Amazon/itunes .I m sure they will come up with saying 'we aren't sure how authentic the sales are'.But the issue is they are counting all yt artist D2C

  • HeatherinThai HeatherinThai (@HeatherinThai) reported

    @sombontv Even better: you can get the single on iTunes or whatever music service you use.

  • SubToretto #1 Student of The Octagon (1980) (@SubToretto) reported

    @TimesSqKungFu @KingSigy @Wonggifs That was the best way I managed to play a film when I was facing issues with itunes. All of it is buggy on PC. I wonder if its any different on Mac?

  • TheNashvillian The Nashvillian (@TheNashvillian) reported

    .@AppleSupport I’m having trouble accessing the ITunes store. I bought an album that won’t download (or even indicate that I’ve paid for it), and I can’t download a book sample. Any help?

    @Gabriel02081099 @chartdata @NICKIMINAJ Then sign in with the other email you should be able to go to iTunes and purchase.
