YASMIN 💸 (@BENITOMARAJ) reportedYall are terrible for not taking alone to #1 on iTunes 😭
-
᧔࿔᧓ 𝕆𝕟𝕚𝕜𝕒’𝕤 𝕄𝕚𝕒𝕞𝕚 ໒꒰ྀི ˶ᵔ ³ ᵔ˶ ꒱ྀིა (@onikasmiami) reportedThey down play being #1 on iTunes (an artist generating pure revenue from the interest around their brand mind you) cuz the last 20 btch3s who dropped weren’t able to do it. Can’t even break even on ROI bc their label too busy buying placements forcing ppl to have interest 😭

I⁷, misses BTS, (D-Day) (@nightstarjoon) reportedThat song that we had trouble taking the #1 place of on U.S. iTunes is all over my tiktok FYP

Christopher Price (@chrisprice) reportedBonjour for Windows Print Service largely is sunset. Apple hasn't updated it and no longer ships it with clean iTunes installs. Apple has moved away from iTunes too. A testament to it is that Apple only had to update it a few times in over a decade, whereas UPnP received literally thousands of (critical) Windows security updates. Bonjour may no longer be needed for new Windows printers, but it remains useful for older printers with drivers no longer maintained. Bonjour itself has succeeded UPnP, which now Microsoft largely relegates to... You guessed it, printing.

ᴬᴰ⁻ᴰᵃʸ ʞiwi⁷🥝🎸🥢해금 (解禁) (@wdytagustd) reported@googiepies @Koobidivines @sugatakemymoney the problem is that it isnt very high on itunes or other platforms either which is worrying

☽⛧☾༺ 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.

Charles Lee Ray (@GoodGuyChucky6) reported@TrveCvltPop Awww that U2 album got loaded onto everyone's ITunes & the latest iPhone at the time, brings back memories of that episode of broken records of that album, talking about how that the whole thing devalued music even the same thing was said when Radiohead released In Rainbows
-
Rado (@radoistaken) reported@Naija_PR Wrong choice of words… the real billion movers are not the problem. It’s the $50 iTunes boys that brings shame to the industry
-
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.
-
𝒫ℯ𝓉𝓇𝒶 (@petra_pez80) reported@SAS2you @dickwarlock13 yes, she said that one phone that depp allegedly throw out the window (in reality SHE was the one throwing HIS phone out), she said its broken and on this was evidence. and she had no backup. who in their right mind believes that she had no backop on itunes or cloud???
-
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 ****
-
chandrashekhar (@cathavale) reported@utsavtechie To do any operation with iCloud, istorage,itunes is extremely complicated. With iphone it becomes even more clumsy. Even first sign in itself is tough for a first timer. This also is one of the reasons for ordinary people to not use it.
-
🤍💜 Scythe of Luna 💜🤍 (@scythe_of_luna) reportedidk if my music gonna be re/released on apple/itunes, no new releases are live after more than a month passed, also I can't login into my artist account cuz my phone number is "NOT OK". ********. who cares about apple anyway. Spotify is the way <3

Aiden #LeaveHBOMaxAlone #FireDavidZaslav (@Aiden57518460) reported@ClassicCNFan @NaruMembrane When iTunes adds complete series to their service, that usually means a complete series DVD box set's coming soon.
-
🎶Writer Laura Ooo Ooooooo Beeby Baby🎶💙 (@Writer_LauraBee) reported@ronnieplonk I read! I have a couple of songs by the Leaves on my iTunes (yes, I'm that Boomer! 😝) but I need to down load more based on that thread.
-
keigo atobe shady facts🥛🍼 (@stupeoscientia) reported@yudansezu I thought I sent u the 4th hyotei soundtrack (bc I bought it on iTunes) 😭 ah well lmk if u ever want it (I haven’t looked at the ones posted in server)

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!
-
Coach Popabitch 🥷🏾 (@CoachPopabitch) reported@MVPKing973 Had some of my favorite mixtapes on there. I need to login and see what they were so I can go to YouTube and convert them and download them to my iTunes.
-
𝐀𝐮𝐫𝐚 (@auraofPNKSLAM) reported@MagicBardi @arithadon125556 You got your first #1 on iTunes in years. Settle down lmao. Let’s see that Spotify debut tomorrow. But again, more importantly, there’s no video so Atlantic didn’t believe in it.
-
Jackie (Weatheronthe8s) (@Weatheronthe8s) reported@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...
-
Explainer (@ByExplainer) reported@sk8ergrlmitsuki @iconredesign Because iTunes Remote will probably shut down in iOS 27 (maybe even ios 26)
-
Dean Devlin (@Dean_Devlin) reported@mpetruzz Really?? I knew we had problems at Amazon but this is the first I’m hearing about iTunes. Damn! Ok looking into it.

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:
-
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
-
John Ward (@jwflame) reported@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.
-
Seth Lukas Hynes ✍️📕🧬🪐✨🤖👽🧠💻💉💉💉 (@SethHynes) reported@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.
-
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.

Michael Darius (@hcidarius) reported@shahbazmagsii Always down for a good party. I designed the iTunes Muaic Store.
-
ani (@beaarthur85) reportednever 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.

🎃 oka (@ammmmo1900) reportedMy issue is People had to basically plead atinys to purchase lemon drop and it’s remixes on iTunes which couldn’t even go top 10 and then fell off after day 2 despite costing the same price as a lollipop but when they saw the gap for number 1 on bb200 they all got energised to make big moves.
