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?
-
perrohunter (@perrohunter) reported@1000kilobytes I'm starting to believe it's futile, I've been opening radar issues since 2015 about iTunes (now Music) library management, and the bugs are still there 10 years later
-
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 ...
-
Shizuka Watanabe (@ShiWatana) reportedFirst, 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:
-
Adam Seymour (@ASeymour1878) reported@Joel_CP_70 @FBAwayDays "Terrible" song got to number 1 on iTunes btw
-
LuigiTheMetal64 (@Luigithemetal64) reported@Mangalawyer Don't expect Microsoft to do better on PC. Oh, wait—they are never better at all. Even I can not be sure if it is Microsoft or Apple's problem with iTunes being unable to code CD songs into iPhones.

☽⛧☾༺ 𝔏𝔶𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔴𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥 ༻☽⚧︎☾ (@LycanWitchcraft) reportedFalse. Music “purchased” through iTunes, you’re not buying the music itself, you’re buying a license to use the music. While it has the illusion of ownership, you don’t actually own it, ie you need to sign in and authorize your computer for the music files to work, you are limited to burning the songs to disc 7 times total, songs not downloaded or backed up can disappear if the content right holders pull their license with Apple, not allowed to sell or trade or anything beyond personal use with the music, etc.

star (@sserafriend) reported@1nnermoonch1ld ive had no problem buying from there before (i bought jp itunes giftcards) but that's just my experience
-
Selena Gomez Charts (@SGchartupdate) reported"Calm Down" by @selenagomez and @heisrema re-enters the top 10 (#9) on US iTunes. 🇺🇸
-
grace (@ravioli_lvr) reportedwhen I was ten I bought monster by lady gaga on itunes and it was the explicit version and I instantly got so scared that i’d get in trouble I told my parents on myself and my step dad tried to get apple to refund and undownload it from my ipod
-
Timbø $lice™ (@MMmvp56) reportedDamn @Snapchat if it's not broken don't fix it. No one wants an AI bot forced on them like a @U2 album on iTunes
-
𝒫𝓇𝒾𝓃𝒸𝑒 ✧ (@thebarbiebtx) reportedMaybe the Barbz should make our own streaming service/chart system. All we need is people relying and using it like Billboard and ITunes Charts, right? What makes Billboard official and not sound cloud charting unofficial? Artist? Money? Business? Nicki alone can launch this ****
-
Bob 🐊🇺🇸 (@Filmbeloh20) reported@EricVldw @Munky_Berto I'm on like my 10th new Mac since iTunes was rolled out and I've never had a problem sending my tunes to a new machine. It's in the 'Music' folder under 'iTunes' You can drag them all straight to a external hard drive.
-
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.
-
mari (@sydneybbristow) reported@brittscapes I thought for sure it was on Apple Music but apparently their streaming service didn’t even exist then, I bought it on iTunes??
-
American Country Music Chatter (@ACMC_Country) reported@shrimpscorpse @wannarockwithm3 @PopBase Exactly that's part of the joke cause someone literally burned a rep CD cause it knocked Miley down on iTunes. 😭 Mind you, you can't even buy rep on her site right now. 😭
-
Macadelic Music (@MacadelicMusic) reported@groovjourney Can we please get a chart for the other streaming service and for the iTunes
-
Meowski Catovitch (@catovitch) reportedIn my messing around with third party music apps for the phone, I forgot about the watch, which none of the options I saw seem to support. I think I am going to have to install iTunes. This is terrible. Maybe I'll build a separate PC just to quarantine it.
-
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
-
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
-
PrincessDianaRemix SOTY ᴺᴹ☆メ𝟶🦄 (@ProudOfYouNicki) reportedMath 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 😞

Homeless (@homelesst9) reportedspotify is down all i got is the undertale soundtrack on itunes

JoeCat ® (@JoeCattt) reportedremember when you could buy music videos on itunes? $1.99, yours forever. I played the ones I paid for. now i’m just waiting— to see if UMG forgets we had a contract. what happens if they take down what I own?

Reggie Hawkins (@ReggieHawk17270) reported@Savage16May I sold my house. Bought a cheaper place out of town for lower taxes. And to avoid the bullshit water, garbage fees. Cancelled all unnecessary subscriptions. Down to only one internet tv provider no satellite. No iTunes.
