  The first episode of OVA 2 for Attack on Titan is currently unavailable to purchase on iTunes and Funimation. This is due to a licensing issue with the anime. It is not known when or if the episode will be available again. I need your help.

  @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.

  @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.

  Come on @AppleMusic we are in 2023 ! One does not ask customers to install an anoying app to unsubscribe to a cloud service. I can't AND don't wanna install ITunes on all my devices ! Have a good day though.

  @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.

  his very own company stopped his promotions just 10 days into its release and focused everything on another member, billboard changed rules last minute to sabotage his success and his own company stayed silent for weeks.. not to forget that they took the album down from itunes

  Oh my gosh, #AppleMusic is so trash. I'm on a free trail, and the **** barely works. I mean, I guess you need to use it on an Apple product 'cause I can't log into itunes on my PC, it won't log into my Roku. Anyone else have issues with Apple Music?

  @Grummz If I can figure out a way to mix Android with macOS (Apple TV movies and iTunes), then I can see jumping. Problem is Google is Android, or it was. Like I said, need to research.

  @alexcooldev Bro the biggest issue is making itunes account of another country. How do we do that ?

•

  Maybe 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 ****

  In 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.

  @Dishasatra Solution is to create a virtual location in some other drive where you have space and provide that location to iTunes. I recently faced the same problem.

  @AppleMusic @Sonos Tracks that have been uploaded using the iTunes Match service display the error but other songs won’t play either despite everything being fine before. I can get around this playing via Airplay or deleting from my library and re-adding from Apple Music.

  @InsaneMegaCD Apple used to have this problem with iTunes in like 2009 then like most DRM they let you deauthorise a device remotely. Kids break Switchs, sometimes the original device is destroyed. This shows how behind the times Nintendo is.

  @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??

  I seriously don't know what the problem is with playing from iTunes Home Sharing onto my Apple TV units. One is a 4K, and the other is the basic model which lacks USB and Ethernet. I've done every possible thing to get it working, and it ceases to work. On Windows 11. Time to go Mac only and see if it works.

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

  Y’all using bully tactics to get people to purchase Alone on iTunes. We don’t see the problem lol?

  @luvmesum_sweet @Cyamtha84617841 I’m too scared to make a post 🙈 but our song is down to number 3 on ITunes. Are y’all still streaming. I wanted to stay on #1 for a couple more days.

  @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

  @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.

  @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

  @phamzforfree Yes, I recently changed the battery. I had to restore the phone with another tool because I was getting error 53 with iTunes.

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

  with my return of Iphone to her with the request that the phone number be terminated or at least that ATT be informed that the phone was broken and I had/have no ability to fix it and thus I gave it back to her. Following that I had no access to my legally purchased Itunes books

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

  @mwill2023 @Cobratate @RealAlexJones Alex doesn't talk about the Jew problem. Been a listener of Alex Jones since 2008 when I was in middle school. I caught his show live in iTunes for years. There was only a few callers that would get through and ask the question about Zionist Jews and he'd immediately hang up.

  @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.
