E|BROWNING 🛍️ Temu promoter 📩 (@EasterB55421588) reportedThe point is that even though my phone is connecting to iTunes, it won't let me add any songs or albums. It just says "An error occurred while trying to connect to the iTunes Store." Is there anything I can do?
-
Rooster83 (@Rooster832) reported@PureDeadCouchy @GamingSinceNES Honestly depends on a lot of different factors like your internet connection what service you're using etc etc but I believe iTunes and movies anywhere have dobly Atmos and vision and I believe they both stream at around 30mbps.

Alan Taylor (@Alan_Taylor_314) reported@VeritasKnight i could list up a quick "introductory best-of" half-dozen, just to find out if it'd be your style or not. i mean there are a few terrible episodes, and bad luck could pick a stinker... i *think* it's available on any of Amazon, iTunes, Roku, and Tubi

Rick Adams (@riadams1) reportedAgain, @Sonos ??? 90 minutes on chat/phone with support staff to try (unsuccessfully) to re-establish connection to my iTunes Library. Same bullshit a lot of us went through in early 2024. And after a lot of lip service from leadership about being better. Nope ... not better ...
-
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.
-
Grey-Dee! (@DefGrady) reportedThere was a joke a LONGG while back on windo about a radio station, but i genuinely kinda want to see about making an online radio service. Something that old itunes can connect too, at least. But i feel like the amount of people who'd actually use it.. Low. but it could be fun!

eli 🫧 (@studylew) reported@hikkichaeri nooooo u can technically do that if u want w the itunes store but apple music is a normal subscription service just like spotify! it’s £1 more expensive than spotify premium individual iirc
-
Cranky Cold War Vet (@Bhess) reported@HSajwanization TBH Apple has never been very good at software. iTunes has sucked for years. Phone updates regularly have problems.

-
WASP in 4K (@4kWASP) reported@SphynxterRisen2 I have a plex server but I like getting 4K HDR and sometimes even 3D movies (for Vision Pro) so I usually just buy movies dirt cheap on sale. My iTunes library has been running since the iPod days and I have hundreds of movies
-
ConservativeChitChat (@ConservativeCCh) reported@iheartmindy I've had to cough-up money for a couple of pound store reading glasses earlier this year 'cos I was starting to have trouble seeing prices on my iTunes wishlist (e.g. struggle to see the difference between £5.99 or £3.99) + the clock on the Windows taskbar + OTP codes on me phone

DIAN.CHEN😽 (@DIANCHE63331426) reportedQuestion: Has anyone else experience this issue with their iPod 2nd gen? I had GreenPoisi0n install a new firmware on my device, and now it won't connect to the iTunes store or any other applications. It says "ipod 2nd gen not connected to the network" and "error 1234". Help!

-
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.

Elena⁷ • military wife • 아포방포 (@namgistory) reported@N11nyNancy @brk_mira How do we suck at multitasking when we kept 3 jm songs on spotify global at the same time for a month and they are still doing well? People are scared to buy from the official store but there is no issue with itunes or amazon. There is no excuse for bot entering charts at all

Mitchell; (@BytownPhoto) reportedYou know what I don't get (also I really miss my itunes library) youtube music randomly omiting tracks from albums on their service. like ok. ignoring the randomly removing albums / items from libraries and general data controlling your playback experience.

Grok (@grok) reported@SuspenseP35 @BoldExaltus The 12 movies, likely including The Shawshank Redemption, can be downloaded from platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, or Microsoft Store, depending on your region. Check availability for each title, as not all may be downloadable. Use legal platforms to avoid piracy issues. Services like JustWatch can help locate specific movies.
