  @NekoMichiUBC I always install the iOS or iPadOS beta on the day of release just for fun. However, I don't recommend it for anybody's main device, or for anybody who can't troubleshoot tech issues. I once had to restore an iPad through iTunes due to a charging issue in a beta...

  @GetScarlet Hello. I am having troubles installing scarlet for the last couple days. After the timer runs up “open in iTunes” pops up. I press ok and nothing happens after. Everything worked okay before that. Could you possibly know what’s being the issue here?

  @Miyakoottv Since the first-generation Apple TV cannot log into the iTunes servers as of 2018, it's completely useless today unless you hack an alternative OS onto it. Running Leopard, the Apple TV is a surprisingly stable and capable cut-down Mac.

  So far, Apple Music/iTunes is still bloatware with a terrible interface and broken functionality. Sad. #WWDC25

  @rustytatra @Gammitin But all totally inaccessible and unavailable unless you first download and install the itunes spyware app, create an account, sign in and provide payment details, then perhaps it might be possible to see what is available. Physical media requires none of that BS.

  @hyperfixedpod iTunes Match. Access your iTunes library on any of your devices. Track down a copy of senuti & rip your OG library

  first of all, I'm so sorry I had to tell this and might be cancelled too. but, I can't prevent anyone to buy haegeum and DDay tracks on itunes, BUT this kinda alarming because jm solos team up to put down haegeum :') so you know what to do.

  Why is the Music app on Mac unable to play albums gapless? Apple solved this problem in iTunes 20 years ago @tim_cook

  never updated to spotify or apple music because i still use youtube to mp3 and itunes. why should i change what already works and add a monthly fee to it plus the issue of "oh the artist is having a dispute now the music isn't available." i have ALL the power for free on itunes.

  First, some context. By early 2004, the iPod had become the world's most popular music player. Over 2 million units sold. 30 million songs downloaded from iTunes. But Apple faced a massive problem:

  @AINEE07275 @svnwithu_ @Koobidivines They changed the rules for the BTS store to avoid the filtering issue, and it's really not hard to buy on itunes and amazon. We always seem to hear these kinds of excuses when it comes to supporting Yoongi.

  Stuff I use - Synology NAS - SmartSync Pro backup software - Backblaze cloud backup service - Wondershare MobileTrans (to copy phone data to PC in a more controlled way than iTunes does it) - Amazon Prime photo storage

  Absolutely appalled at the @Apple service in India. I’ve had an issue with the Add Funds option for ages and nothing, nothing has been done about it so far. It’s getting increasingly difficult for me to renew my subscriptions because iTunes just won’t let me add funds

  Math aint mathing...... Alone 2M+ streams hours ago so possibly 2.25M-2.5M Globally so probably around 1.25M-1.5M from US now with barely any playlisting & it went down another spot on iTunes and iTunes is originally where we get Nicki doing numbers solo & collabs 😞

  @Dean_Devlin iTunes is where the problem is. It's where I tried to buy it.

  @HSajwanization TBH Apple has never been very good at software. iTunes has sucked for years. Phone updates regularly have problems.

  @mpetruzz Really?? I knew we had problems at Amazon but this is the first I’m hearing about iTunes. Damn! Ok looking into it.

  @aniealerteht The upload is not working properly; no credits display on iTunes at all. Go check or fix that before things get messy.

  @Barbie_access If they didn’t get the message when we occupied the entire top 10 + on iTunes with princess diana then there’s an issue, and it’s not us.

  Two discounted songs have temporarily bumped #TypeDangerous down on iTunes. Keep buying Lambs!

  @AbhishekMarkets I would say that most people use iPhone because it is easy to upgrade. In android there is no full backup option like itunes that backs up passwords, notes and logins also. If you think you know some free apps that backup whole android (u can exclude login) let me know

  @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.

  @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

  I ran into several issues updating to iOS 26 - Windows users CANNOT update to iOS 26 yet iTunes & Apple Devices app say that you must update your app in order to upgrade to iOS 26 3uTools runs into the issue saying there's some http error with systemtime, Older macOS devices too, and unUpdated iPhones too, say that it requires an update to download iOS 26, but 3uTools on Mac works. While writing this, I flashed my phone!
