  • richriker @richriker (@richriker) reported

    spent way too much time today sorting out Apple ID issues and how to port tow iTunes libraries into one so I do not loose all the music I burned back in the cd drive days. also downloaded from services like Nugs. simple answer is it is not possible

  • McGarnical McG ᵃʳⁿⁱᶜᵃˡ 47 (@McGarnical) reported

    @normalowl Would I be doing OK if I watched it on iTunes? Can’t get HBO Max here and it’s not on any other streaming service

  • equalinme eli🧚🏻 (@equalinme) reported

    @tomloml @chaaoswalknews theatres or you can buy it on PVOD (like iTunes) or maybe it will be sold to a streaming service

  • return_carriage CarriageReturn (@return_carriage) reported

    I long for a world where iTunes isn't terrible.

  • Gentlemanimal Mark W (@Gentlemanimal) reported

    Been subscribed through iTunes U.K., but I watch in Denmark. Had over a year of trouble-free streaming until this month - so I started using a vpn, to try and remedy the problem, but that doesn’t work either now. Really sad, but have had to cancel. What happened @BritBox_UK?

  • ambwosia ambrosia! (@ambwosia) reported

    i had the same problem with spotify but it got fixed, but itunes was never fixed. sent an e-mail about it and it never got solved. what gives?

  • CalBrown17 Callie Brownson (@CalBrown17) reported

    While y’all are working through this Robinhood issue, I’m still trying to work through how Apple put an entire U2 album on my iTunes without consent in 2014.

  • Somos_LosRojos Thiago Fan (@Somos_LosRojos) reported

    @CloudyLennonade It’s not an issue of cost but legality i think, because it was all filmed pre music streaming services I was under the impression that the only way to get the original soundtrack was watch it through iTunes

  • TheKarmiDance Karmolade (@TheKarmiDance) reported

    @nealrogers Haven’t had that issue but overall it’s slowed me down vastly when it comes to making playlists and editing artwork for MP3’s. I liked iTunes much more.

  • CosmicChambo Daniel Buckmaster-Chamberlin (@CosmicChambo) reported

    an unpopular opinion but the only thing I don't like about adobe CS is the price itunes and instagram are terrible tools mostly because they're not tools: they're commercial content delivery interfaces that force the user to do things the user doesn't want to do

  • lior52682293 lior (@lior52682293) reported

    Hi bro I did bypass to the iPad 3 but I have a problem it does not let connect to iTunes

  • AyumuJel Jane Jeleniewski (@AyumuJel) reported

    @RebelTaxi It's not M4VGear that's the problem. You have to get an older version of iTunes (Under 12.10). This issue is even addressed when I tried to use M4VGear to download the Making Fiends series

  • iamkristaleigh KrissySnow (@iamkristaleigh) reported

    @AlanDersh It appears that iTunes took this episode down.

  • 85JLou1 Drake Sabitch (@85JLou1) reported

    @golikehellmachi I guess I'm curious as to what model you envision as being more ethical but also good? Apple iTunes paid somewhat better and there was no problem with that model, although someone like myself just listened to fewer artists. Tidal pays artists well but sucks.

  • ThatNateGuy ThatNateGuy 😷 (@ThatNateGuy) reported

    @MalwareJake I said this after iTunes, Spotify and Google Play came on the scene. Piracy went down because it was easier getting everything from two places at most. Now everyone wants a piece of that sweet, recurrent spending pie. Piracy is back up, surprising nobody but the networks. 🙄

  • zsofib2000 zsofia❤️💙💚💜 (@zsofib2000) reported

    Does someone know why iTunes and AppStore don’t want to accept my new PayPal account? I had trouble with the old PayPal and iTunes banned it, so I made a new one but they don’t accept it.

  • fezfhfc Fez (@fezfhfc) reported

    @reynlord Worked for the first 20 mins: then kept pausing. Tried on Spotify and iTunes and same issue.

  • FrauHwieHans Frau.H.wie.Hans (@FrauHwieHans) reported

    @Hootsuite_Help (5.5.0) hi! I’m having trouble deleting my free trial of Hootsuite. It doesn’t show as a free trial anywhere in my iTunes settings but it does in my Hootsuite settings :) no option to downgrade or delete... help!

  • marienantoinete marien 💋 she/her (@marienantoinete) reported

    I blocked and reported them but I’m sure my new-found doctor friend would have had ”problems with the bank” and asked me to wire money or gift cards (iTunes, Amazon) to help out.

  • annelonius Annie CGC (@annelonius) reported

    @Iilithsternin It is only $30 on iTunes for the entire series. I purchased it and The Office so I do not have to subscribe to yet another streaming service.

  • Jaypi0122 Jaypi (@Jaypi0122) reported

    @harleythetech Error -2 sa 3utools. Darn. Trying iTunes..

  • C_Holl_3 Chris Holland (@C_Holl_3) reported

    I only have 8 artists wit their own playlist in my itunes, there’s a strict no known rapists clause in my library though so it might be down to 7

  • BrotherBoaz Joseph Boaz (@BrotherBoaz) reported

    @HaveWritten I’m not sure which alternative social media platforms will avoid getting taken down like parlor did. Parlor was banned from google play and iTunes and then they were taken completely off the web. Maybe if they were owned by China like TikTok, they’d be protected.

  • harbaryomee2014 Abayomi of Laycon(Ex Nigerian) (@harbaryomee2014) reported

    @teemah_kenny Seriously I’m having issue using my card to reg for iTunes store😭😭😭

  • PromiseMeNot_ Transcendental Being🐺 (@PromiseMeNot_) reported

    If you say you don't like Laycon, that's your personal problem o. Laycon don't know if you exist. After all, Referee no dey give iTunes card! #BabaFelaRemix #MrRealXLayconXZlatan

  • jrabjr timetogeaux (@jrabjr) reported

    @MeatEaterTV any reason you guys pull podcasts down from time to time? There have been three that I’ve been listening to on iTunes that have inexplicably disappeared.

  • AngelNordstrom The Honorable Angelina Nordstrom (@AngelNordstrom) reported

    How is it that I came across Kidz Bop on iTunes and they ****** up “I Like It” by @iamcardib ? I hope Cardi haven’t heard how much they watered down her hit and one of my favorite songs from her being completely butchered, kids or no kids.

  • lior52682293 lior (@lior52682293) reported

    @sIiver752_ @DanyLieff I did bypass to the iPad 3 but I have a problem it does not let connect to iTunes

  • denisjbender Dᴇɴɪs J. Bᴇɴᴅᴇʀ (@denisjbender) reported

    @DnPeeps @straczynski Eric, would you kind telling if the HBO max version suffers from the same issue as on iTunes, that is, super green white balance & overly cool color range in general?

  • heytheredude ... (@heytheredude) reported

    Pandora is broken so I broke out the ol' iTunes... whoa. Some oldie goldies in here.
