AJStrong on BlueSky (@aj_strong) reportedSo far, Apple Music/iTunes is still bloatware with a terrible interface and broken functionality. Sad. #WWDC25

☽⛧☾༺ 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.

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.

🍡Katharine K🍛 + Campus Ambassador of Temu ~ (@KATHARI34496680) reportedI have had a few issues with my jailbreak since upgrading to Palera1n. The first time it happened, I was using Cydia Impactor and my phone would just randomly turn off. After running some diagnostics, I found out that my battery was at 0% so I restored it using iTunes.
-
Biez (@BiezusNice) reported@KEMBE_X Man, I don’t even stream - I buy allllll my ****! Physicals, exclusive drops, merch, all’at… Bandcamp (preferably) or iTunes. [****’s actually kinda a problem]
-
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. 😭
-
Mariah Carey iTunes Chart (@MariahCharted) reported@iTunes Please look into .@MariahCarey's "Type Dangerous" single, despite its dominance on every platform some fans are having problem purchasing the single and it has not appeared on any iTunes Chart despite selling a great amount with 4 hours of its release (VERY UNCOMMON)!
-
𝕋𝕚𝕞𝓇𝒾𝒶𝒽 (@timriah) reportedTwo discounted songs have temporarily bumped #TypeDangerous down on iTunes. Keep buying Lambs!
-
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!
-
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
-
DWAI (@dwaidontwait) reportedmoney within the music industry has literally reduced the worth of music to atoms. it was records/cds - 10-20 bucks... apple came up w/ itunes, singles went down to .99 cent (not even a dollar), but now with streaming its like 0.003%? which is crazy insane
-
Mariah Carey's World (@MCareysWorld) reportedWhile we wait for @MariahCarey and her team to fix the iTunes issue (listed as an album instead of a single which is why is not appearing on any charts and people can't find it) #TypeDangerous, be sure you grab your copy of the single on Amazon! @MariahAlerts

MacGyver (@MattLorenzo) reportedDamn Apple TV worked with my itunes ID last year. Now its not working.

Homeless (@homelesst9) reportedspotify is down all i got is the undertale soundtrack on itunes
-
Aleksa Sarai 暗号君 (@lordcyphar) reported@ibuildthecloud Stuff like the Newton is the obvious counterexample, but for a more modern example -- iTunes was apocalyptically bad for a very long time. For a more spicy take -- the iPhone was basically a toy until iPhone 5 (or 4, if you ignore the reception issues). A very Vista/7 dynamic.
-
Joey Schmo (@SchmoJosey) reportedThis is impressive considering that Itunes is a streaming service to buy/rent films so almost always the top films on itunes are new movies that are still in movie theaters but available for on demand. Or new movies that just came out the movie theaters for exclusive on demand.
-
Explainer (@ByExplainer) reported@sk8ergrlmitsuki @iconredesign Because iTunes Remote will probably shut down in iOS 27 (maybe even ios 26)

BENZO-KAZOOIE (@BENZOTOOIE) reported@TheManlet_King I know how you feel Manlet, been dealing with my own problems today too. I have all these ITunes gift cards and no idea what to do with them….

Berny Alexander (@bernyalexander1) reported@phamzforfree Yes, I recently changed the battery. I had to restore the phone with another tool because I was getting error 53 with iTunes.

lulamile nkompela 🇿🇦 (@Bralu_nkompela) reported@Interredd @King1FoReal @Mo_Magoda Problem is these companies itunes/Spotify take almost 50% of the fee and artist like Zonke are not studio artist,they make use sessional musicians when they record so from the 50% they they need to pay these sessional musicians/studio time etc not making much from everything

ankhayra (@ankhayra) reportedDear @Apple , This has been the most frustrating hour EVER.

Matt (@mpetruzz) reported@Dean_Devlin iTunes is where the problem is. It's where I tried to buy it.
-
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.
