    @trulegend32 @catturd2 I read about 1 instance in Georgia about people in line given water bottles along with iTunes gift cards by people wearing Planned Parenthood shirts. Influence is what this is about. You’re distracting from the issue. No point in further conversation. Agree to disagree in USA

  • kotafn kota (@kotafn) reported

    @edatersuck im down but these r all locally downloaded on iTunes to I dont think I can play em on Spotify sessions

  • Kyle_Youmans Kyle Youmans (@Kyle_Youmans) reported

    @l_thatone @TalkinCowboys It should be available on the iTunes! I know theres been a couple of issues but usually if your subscribed they'll show up. Also you can subscribe to the actual 'Cowboys Podcasts' and that works too

  • sanayyxy (@sanayyxy) reported

    @eudximoniiaaa__ @TBYFA1TH it’s a STREAMING service it’s not buying each itunes single 😭 dense

  • Sparkle_Moony ᴮᴱMoony⁷ (@Sparkle_Moony) reported

    Oh btw: iTunes is important, yes, bc it is a means for local chart success. BUT local chart success needs consideration of various factors, for example: tracking week. If you disregard that and treat iTunes isolated from local chart rules, then there is a problem.

    @evanescence @iTunes Broken Pieces Shine, Wasted On You, Use My Voice and Far From Heaven really stand out for me

  • fairyventi_ kai ♡ 32/90 (@fairyventi_) reported

    @CLOWNTANJIRO nope just "iphone is disabled, connect to itunes" which i cant do bc i dont have the itunes login (since its not my phone 😭)

  • samaezyy e (@samaezyy) reported

    @crazyjoedevola Once you open the app, make sure you go to the tv+ section. The “Apple TV app” itself is basically iTunes where you can buy/rent movies and shows to own. tv+ is the name of their service and everything in that section is Apple original content included in the trial

  • AppleTerminal Apple Terminal (@AppleTerminal) reported

    Developing: @AppleMusic servers seem to be having issues in #China. The last time this happened when servers were fine in the US, China was blocking the iTunes Store and iBooks in China. Story will be available later as this develops. #Apple #AppleMusic

  • Lucid00 Lucid00 (@Lucid00) reported

    And the ability to transfer them was their way of trying to solve the "I can't pass my iTunes collection down to my kids" problem.

    @MARIEBROWN1970 Remove your associated iPhone, iPad or iPod touch Tap Settings > [your name], then tap iTunes & App Store. Tap your Apple ID. Tap View Apple ID. You might be asked to sign in. Scroll to the iTunes in the Cloud section, then tap Remove This Device. 5 Feb 2020

    @cypberry @EnclaverApp I’m not broke. I just don’t have credit cards. I don’t even know if it charges by iTunes or credit cards. Cuz most do things by credit cards. I don’t have a problem with doing it if it’s billed through iTunes.

  • _T_JACK _T_JACK (@_T_JACK) reported

    @ts8deluxe @tpwksky @LilNasX Imagine you knowing anything about the music industry and American artists. I’m sorry I gave your Tweet the time of day, but I had to **** on your terrible analysis. #1 on iTunes, #2/9 on US/Global Spotify. Go away.

  • hi2x__ hi2x (@hi2x__) reported

  • HarlowBoylesque Tom Harlow Boylesque (@HarlowBoylesque) reported

    @Apple @iTunes I'm having trouble downloading previously purchased music from the store. Itunes keeps freezing and not responding and ive tried everything now. What is wrong with itunes that I cant re download my music?

  • levilovr hailey (@levilovr) reported

  • obscuracrimepod Obscura: A True Crime Podcast (@obscuracrimepod) reported

    @racheld @iTunes @AppleSupport No. They don’t seem to care about bullying on their platform. I’m sorry you’re having trouble.

  • bttmofurheart Beau Seefus (rip jerry era) (@bttmofurheart) reported

    @LanaDelCutiee Right?? The LP release has been such a let down for me though it was $35 and sounds really undynamic and poor. The iTunes masters sounded better tbh which is such a let down....wtf they charging $35?? 😭😭😭 this was one of my favorite albums of the year too

  • RedNextDoor Hot Content Sammy P (@RedNextDoor) reported

    If someone had to draw a picture of me based solely on my iTunes account, I reckon they’d get it right down to the individual hair.

  • Mylifeischaos Stimala Harris (@Mylifeischaos) reported

    @solluxe That’s terrible. I legit cried when I lost all my iTunes music once. It hurts

  • veniceisblu venice (@veniceisblu) reported

    @greedymotivez every time i see y’all trying to tear him down imma buy another copy of his music on itunes

  • captainovamusic Captain Over (@captainovamusic) reported

    Anyone know why iTunes keeps saying 'medium write error' when I try to burn a CD (I know)? Tried reducing the burn speed but still no good. Same things 5 times in a row, only bought 10 CDs!

  • vedantapps Vedant (@vedantapps) reported

    @Prohere7321 @DylanMcD8 See that’s the problem, I do want to have certain files open. iTunes in pervious versions of macOS had an option to disable automatically opening.

  • JAKEPHILIA • Swea • (@JAKEPHILIA) reported

    Whatever the comeback goals are, in the end it comes down to the major things: 1) save money to pre-order/iTunes 2) donate (if you can) for streaming 3) download the voting apps+ collect 4) update on how to stream (YouTube+Spotify) @ENHYPEN_members

  • nosugrnocream no sugar, no cream. (@nosugrnocream) reported

    @TosOfTheTown Yup my first streaming service ever was Spotify! This is back when folks were still buying iTunes 99cent singles. Then tidal and now Apple Music. Your tweet making me want to go back

  • koojpov lien 🌼 (@koojpov) reported

    @mocha_kooki @naaathiiieee @mochiii_minie go to settings and then scroll down until you see itunes and apple store then turn off updates for app store

  • ArchiveAnother NetNobody Archive (@ArchiveAnother) reported

    Does anyone have Hiding, Happy, or Pull Me Down on iTunes and can send me the files? It’s for the archive

  • caylebthehokage Cayleb @ Black Lives Matter✊🏿 (@caylebthehokage) reported

    one of the sadder days of last year was learning about Apple finally shutting down iTunes and subsequently consolidating that library and setting up my new musicbee library

  • PrimeDirective Prime Directive 🎬 (@PrimeDirective) reported

    @314UXHolly My complaint is that her algorithms change and get broken too often. She recently got reprogrammed to favor Apple Music over your own curated iTunes Library. So for example, if you have a playlist of 10,000 songs called "Good Music," she thinks you want good music from Apple now.

  • Miunih Miu (@Miunih) reported

    "Henlo I have problem with apple" "I see, you gotta be with apple then, we dont support" "Ok but I lose apple id password and it says use itunes" "Exactly, so you gotta be with apple." "So you dont support apple?" "We do not" "So you cant help?" Do I speak chinese wtf henlo?!
