    @Slackandproud Oh please … “Let’s go Brandon” is like number1,2 and three on iTunes no comparison sit down🤡

  • mikacooper Mika Spooker (@mikacooper) reported

    @ThatEricAlper Photoshop (as a personal app living eternally on my computer, not a subscription service). Also, the old iTunes. Hey, why not Limewire?

  • imStiflersMom Stifler’s Mom 🌹 (@imStiflersMom) reported

    @BritneyDoll7 Spotify hands down best. The desktop experience with Apple Music it’s terrible. The iTunes experience was so much better and it would fit with the Music, but they took most of it. It’s too bad.

  • yltan78 Jewey (@yltan78) reported

    @LinkedInHelp I need help. I’ve cancelled the premium free trial before it expired via iTunes. I didn’t renew/resubscribe, hence no charges. However my account is still showing premium. Why? It has been a few days since the free trial expired. Pls look into this issue immediately

  • Melonanana7 Melonana 🏳️‍🌈🎶 (@Melonanana7) reported

    Start preparing the iTunes and streaming service accounts, we gotta make this chart

    @rileytestut @altstoreio redownloaded itunes, icloud, and altstore to my windows computer. Rebooted pc multiple times. Went to install altstore onto iphone 12 pro max numerous times with “the provisioning profile is invalid” error every time. Is there a solution to this? Ios 14.4

    One of my favorite features of macOS 10.15 Catalina was that it broke out podcasts into their own app. It is a crappy Mac version of the iPad app even today in macOS 12, but at least it freed up iTunes from being bogged down in my hundreds of unlistened-to podcast subscriptions.

    Really annoyed with @iTunes ... I have tried everything and still keep getting the error code 54 - meaning it refuses to sync with my ipod. Never been a fan of "i" devices & this certainly isnt helping... #itunes

  • mysk_co Mysk 🇨🇦🇩🇪 (@mysk_co) reported

    @ParkerOrtolani This is an Apple Music/iTunes stupid issue, not a macOS issue. When I got the original Apple Watch I was so excited to go jogging and listen to music without carrying my iPhone. I deauthorized my iPhone by mistake. I had to wait for 90 days before I was able to reauthorize it.

  • yujingp999 Kep1erClcyujin (@yujingp999) reported

    @Turandas last march, but i realized i have to get a copy because what if itunes also went down

  • NewMacBookUgly a_a | Future Aya and Joon Fumo owner (@NewMacBookUgly) reported

    @AetherAurelia Connect it to iTunes It’s a common issue with modern versions of iOS I swear, just update it with a computer and it should be fine

  • purecomedy12 yes (@purecomedy12) reported

    @nypost “Anti-Biden joke” u guys r soft individuals if u have a problem with it. 1. Have u watched or gone to any sports events lately? If u r against saying “Let’s go Brandon” might not want 2 go. 2. What if the pilot said “Praise Allah” be4 take off instead? 3. #1 song on iTunes

  • humanmale1984 Shane McGeary (@humanmale1984) reported

    @MaxGraham @AyoCaesar I assumed they were in trouble when someone invented iTunes playlists.

  • WingsEcosse WingsOverEcosse 🦖💚🤍💜 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇳🇿 🇪🇺 (@WingsEcosse) reported

    @fundypost @YouTube I think the answer to that is yes. The internet breaks, servers go down so streaming is not always on. I also just pay once and there are no ads. Besides I already had 36 hrs of curated music on iTunes, 48 now. Why throw that away?

  • CNCSwiss Dan Murphy (@CNCSwiss) reported

    @Marston4ca42 @SouthwestAir @POTUS Calm down Karen, it’s a line from the number one song on iTunes right now. I’m guessing that if this even happened it was after his usual announcement cajoling passengers to get in their seats so they could leave on time.

  • JayLender1 Jay Lender (@JayLender1) reported

    @AppleSupport The program ALWAYS reports that no other files were found, even when there are other mislinked files in that same folder. This functionality has been broken FOREVER, which is troublesome because the migration to Music from iTunes resulted in THOUSANDS of mislinked files. 2/2

  • CsanBoySmith Bicsanich (@CsanBoySmith) reported

    @craigcalcaterra The #1 song on iTunes for the past two weeks is called "Let's Go Brandon" (until they took it down) so not sure what you mean 'taken up by other people'. Its a meme.

  • AlbertoSnchez Alberto Sanchez (@AlbertoSnchez) reported

    @KatyCat176 This is not dominating. For his and his record firm expectations, really had a terrible debut. No song managed to take number one neither in iTunes, Spotify nor Amazon music. despite of all the playlisting and advertisement.

  • joelonthetweet Joel (@joelonthetweet) reported

    @sdedition I love searching the charity shops for good CDs.....my problem with stuff like Spotify and iTunes is, I can't lend an album to a friend, and I would never actually own anything, I am just renting and have nothing to show for it.....

  • dawnOSu30258841 DawnDawn (@dawnOSu30258841) reported

    @TristanSnell Wow clutch the pearls much? How do you explain the 2 top Itunes song's that are all black men who are the artist's. Your hyperbole hysteria is not doing it anymore, if the left and the right can agree on anything it is that Biden is doing a terrible job.

    I just made the leap back into the full Apple ecosystem. So, back to iTunes, Podcasts, Books, homekit, etc. Not a pleasant experience. If you have prior account data everything screws up and error messages are non-existent... I'll get it to work eventually :)

  • Cyberian_Tiger Cyberian Tiger (@Cyberian_Tiger) reported

    @zorinlynx I moved away from Itunes a long time ago, one of the reasons at the time was it gave me trouble when I was trying to put music I brought onto my phone. Since then I just moved to Bandcamp and using Foobar2000.

  • tzeejay Constantin Jacob (@tzeejay) reported

    And iTunes just took down my entire Mac.... lovely

  • Kevidently KeviDARKly (@Kevidently) reported

    Look, iTunes Match, I pay you good money so I can hear TayTay say “****** in the head”; why you think I need the bowdlerized version if “Champagne Problems” is beyond my ken. I’m a grown-*** man!

  • Interzoo0 Manati (#EasyOnMe) (@Interzoo0) reported

    @BeccaWhite45 @PopCrave @ImLozaAlexander Guys, come down. On iTunes, just on iTunes and just for few days. But that the people who listen to Let's go Brandon don't understand the numbers, results and data you noticed even after the election

  • JoachimBrackx Joachim 🌸🌊🌸 (@JoachimBrackx) reported

    @Bose @TIDAL @TIDALSupport why don't my state-of-the-art D700 headphones have gapless playback? I suspect the problem is with the D700 as it's the same in iTunes.

  • Rae8465 RaeofSunshine☀️ (@Rae8465) reported

    Holy fkn hell @iTunes is the WORST fkn program ever! Fix your fkn **** already! So sick of all these error codes and nothing properly syncing .... My stuffs up to date and it shouldn't be such a hassle anytime I want to do anything.... Heres hoping its finally syncing ffs.

  • ClassicCNFan CNNickandDisneyFanboy (@ClassicCNFan) reported

    @RiseFallNickBck Cartoon Network and WarnerMedia both should stop hiding this Halloween special, it is not available on DVD, iTunes, or even HBO Max. I think HBO Max itself would a great place for the special, but unfortunately, the special itself was never added to the service.

    @rushia727 @personal_k1ra Torture me by strapping me down and making me watch her open iTunes and click update on all my iDevices 🥵
