iTunes Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Lazerverse Multimedia-Cinemaworks (@lazerverse) reportedI seriously don't know what the problem is with playing from iTunes Home Sharing onto my Apple TV units. One is a 4K, and the other is the basic model which lacks USB and Ethernet. I've done every possible thing to get it working, and it ceases to work. On Windows 11. Time to go Mac only and see if it works.
-
Rick (@Bunyan2011) reported@avilla01_ @DAZNBoxing I receive email receipts from Apple/iTunes whenever a purchase is made. There’s a link in the email to report a problem. I reported it yesterday and had the refund this morning. Then canceled DAZN.
-
Matt (@mpetruzz) reported@Dean_Devlin iTunes is where the problem is. It's where I tried to buy it.
-
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
-
Greg Collins (@glcollins) reportedMy 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.

.lucytard (@lucytard0) reported@kioticlevl @HoIIandMedia Just my feeling deep down ik and we put all that work into PDR but no one’s putting work into alone we can’t even get it to number one on iTunes
-
Explainer (@ByExplainer) reported@sk8ergrlmitsuki @iconredesign Because iTunes Remote will probably shut down in iOS 27 (maybe even ios 26)
-
madrigal (@madriga23955939) reportedI'm having an issue with my iPhone 14 pro max music playback. It's not syncing up with my iTunes library and I'm not sure what to do about it.
-
Mariah Carey's World (@MCareysWorld) reportedWhile we wait for @MariahCarey and her team to fix the iTunes issue (listed as an album instead of a single which is why is not appearing on any charts and people can't find it) #TypeDangerous, be sure you grab your copy of the single on Amazon! @MariahAlerts
-
🍡Katharine K🍛 + Campus Ambassador of Temu ~ (@KATHARI34496680) reportedI have had a few issues with my jailbreak since upgrading to Palera1n. The first time it happened, I was using Cydia Impactor and my phone would just randomly turn off. After running some diagnostics, I found out that my battery was at 0% so I restored it using iTunes.
-
Starving Artist (@blerghhh) reported@MaccabiTrader @psac_afpc They also in the same call offer to clean my air-ducts and help with my windows licences. This is a marked improvement in service! The only catch is that they ask me to buy iTunes gift cards from my local Wallgreens requiring an international border crossing.
-
Reuben (@kedging) reported@Grummz If I can figure out a way to mix Android with macOS (Apple TV movies and iTunes), then I can see jumping. Problem is Google is Android, or it was. Like I said, need to research.
-

Afrasyab (@AfrasyabTareen) reported@halfghuan I have updated it via iTunes and still problem in activation Google says that it’s related to carrier. I think the sim tray has malfunctioned
-
𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝞰 𝙈𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙖 𝞑𝙚𝙖𝙧 (@AmerMommaBear) reported@WonderWomaNinja My hubby has access to everything and vise versa. We use one iTunes account because he has issues with passwords so we get most of each other’s texts & calls. My accounts are used for recovery of his accounts. After 30 yrs if I had something to hide, I shouldn’t be married.
-
Peter (@gracedbypete) reported@mwill2023 @Cobratate @RealAlexJones Alex doesn't talk about the Jew problem. Been a listener of Alex Jones since 2008 when I was in middle school. I caught his show live in iTunes for years. There was only a few callers that would get through and ask the question about Zionist Jews and he'd immediately hang up.
-
Rado (@radoistaken) reported@Naija_PR Wrong choice of words… the real billion movers are not the problem. It’s the $50 iTunes boys that brings shame to the industry
-
Biez (@BiezusNice) reported@KEMBE_X Man, I don’t even stream - I buy allllll my ****! Physicals, exclusive drops, merch, all’at… Bandcamp (preferably) or iTunes. [****’s actually kinda a problem]
-
Thee Ryan V (@Ryback78) reported@AllAboutMariah @iTunes Who the hell is buying Sabrina Carpenter’s ****** song? It’s a terrible song.
-
of Cherrie (@ofcherrie) reported@hyperfixedpod iTunes Match. Access your iTunes library on any of your devices. Track down a copy of senuti & rip your OG library
-
BENZO-KAZOOIE (@BENZOTOOIE) reported@TheManlet_King I know how you feel Manlet, been dealing with my own problems today too. I have all these ITunes gift cards and no idea what to do with them….
-
Nancy (mask wearing true believer) (@NancedOff) reportedDown to my last $4.14 on my iTunes account - do I use some of it for the song I'm thinking of downloading only to then remember a song I would rather have bought, or do I wait?
-
elle Rudberg season 3!!! (@_Layiah) reportedFound my old iTunes account and yea I used to have terrible taste in music
-
thvillain•ᴗ• (@Tae_Babby) reported@7seventannies Buying on iTunes is also the problem
-
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
-
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 😭
-
Christopher Price (@chrisprice) reportedBonjour 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.

hannakin skywalker (@HannahBALLIN) reportedi had to listen to my itunes with spotify being down. there were good throwbacks coming on but it was immediately ruined by the u2 album that was forced on everyone
-
AJStrong on BlueSky (@aj_strong) reportedSo far, Apple Music/iTunes is still bloatware with a terrible interface and broken functionality. Sad. #WWDC25
