  • autisticb4mmr Solveig ⚧ - Autistic Acceptance Worldwide (@autisticb4mmr) reported

    Ok I really want to know why @iTunes keeps intermittently asking me to sign in, when I haven't really asked it to do anything. Why do I need to sign in, if I'm not making a purchase or trying to listen to some copyprotected thing or whatever? Same goes for my @Apple devices.

  • botoggle JEFF♪♪@STILL TIRED (@botoggle) reported

    I don’t have many complaints about my iPhone day-to-day, but any time I have to use iTunes I wonder if this program doesn’t suck *** on purpose to push adoption of their streaming service. Love to add and delete and re-add a track to my library before it syncs every time

  • rustykitty_ gay little cat (@rustykitty_) reported

    @Asaniyea I'm pretty sure i have the solution down, but the issue is that itunes servers are apparently having issues so i need to wait for that :/

  • WookieCanadian xCanadianWookie (@WookieCanadian) reported

    @AppleSupport Is there something wrong with the iTunes servers? I work at a cell shop and can't update any iPhones via iTunes. Really slowing down business today... (0x80092010) code.

  • BaronofAaron HankBaron✍🏼 (@BaronofAaron) reported

    @markjmessmer @daringfireball I meant Apple’s Apps. Music & iTunes, Movies, and Shows, let alone the TV app itself need help with UX/UI. Note: I’m not in front of my Apple TV, so whatever the actual apps are called…I’m just going off memory. Everyone else’s apps are their problems, but they take feedback.

  • DJSynapse Synapse (@DJSynapse) reported

    @CosmoBaker @Serato Ditched iTunes prob before 2010 and never had a problem. I keep it simple and just time machine

  • abluengrey Al⁷ 🐻 (@abluengrey) reported

    Alright let me sit down and do some itunes buying

  • wutongjiejie :3 (@wutongjiejie) reported

    Why not just encourage ppl to buy the digital photobook versions in itunes and like mail out a digital purchase only pc at an extra cost or something if they want the collectors money… feels like an easier way of making money without the trouble of something useless like kihnos

  • StrikeMVT My name is Mike (predebut Vtuber) (@StrikeMVT) reported

    @ryoarce Nah I started with iTunes over 15 years ago so all of my shits there and I prefer having it locally so I don't need an internet connection to listen to it Problem is, iphones are *** so I still need to get the iTunes library onto an Android to have my library outside my computer

  • winterxx_z hye (@winterxx_z) reported

    @SDTeenWolf @FullServiceGame you need to install ipa file from the itunes, it will be impossible to get in the app store cause full service is a porn

  • FLIPTOP1 Iconoclast (@FLIPTOP1) reported

    These scamming dev bros are all over USA rug pulling innocent people of their hard earned money and I don't see news of the @FBI arresting no one. If na Nigerian iTunes card boiz their prick go dey strong up-and-down.

  • gwmccull Garrett McCullough (@gwmccull) reported

    @joelatwar @RajaWebto there is/was an iTunes that would run on Windows. Also an updater app, an iCloud sync app, and QuickTime. All were pretty terrible from what I remember

  • InevitableJoon Frankie⁷ ⁱˢ ᴾʳ⟬⟭⟬⟭ᶠ 🔞 (@InevitableJoon) reported

    Bought another copy of Proof on itunes before midnight but there was a permissions error when I tried to download. When I signed back in they were there so I'm honestly not sure if it counts for this week's UK album chart or next.

    Don’t understand why people use spotify still when the whole app is down rn lmfao cant even play offline music either this is why apple music/itunes wipes

  • KenshiKillmnger Kensh, Period. (@KenshiKillmnger) reported

    Security? Debatable. I get it, You don't want ****** to have your data. Only issue is, You just did a while ago, So it doesn't matter at this point. 🤷🏾 Apple Music/iTunes? I'll live. (Spotify) Apple Pay? Google Pay.

  • Storytel_In Storytel India (@Storytel_In) reported

    @ShadabK37755893 1. Go to Settings -> iTunes & App Store in your phone. 2. Tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen, then tap View Apple ID. You might need to sign in with your Apple ID. 3. Scroll down to Subscriptions, then tap it.

  • darthrya Ryan LaMar (@darthrya) reported

    @iTunes After an hour with tech support, I was finally told we can no longer download music for playback on other systems, and it's been that way for years. Odd... In July 2021 I had no problem downloading a purchase (order MMW5NK6X0F). What gives?

  • tackysuetoo ⟭⟬ Tackysue⁷ (@tackysuetoo) reported

    @0613toEternity Yeah. I'll just have to do that but I've purchased on amazon (which may have the same issue) and that Q one. I don't have itunes since we have zero apple products in the house. LOL

  • Pheeeeeeeebs1 Pheeebs ⁱˢ ᴾʳᵒᵒᶠ 💜APOBANGPO💜Yet to Come (@Pheeeeeeeebs1) reported

    @lov3lyg3nius Ok. Will try tom. I tried yesterday and today. I get the same error. BTW, to buy again on itunes, I just have to make a new account right? I can use the same cc?

  • brightloud Matt (@brightloud) reported

    @CosmoBaker @Serato Given the volume of music you are working with may I suggest an investment in a good RAID 1 NAS solution (maybe with iTunes server support for remotely indexing the content). get something sturdy - look for small business solutions over consumer NAS units (no western digital)

  • StevenEsquire Steve (@StevenEsquire) reported

    Every time I have to use iTunes I am absolutely blown away by what a terrible piece of software that it is. It seems deliberately designed to make you to give up on your own music collection and just listen to the "Summer Chill" playlist instead

  • Xavier_Basora Xavier Basora (@Xavier_Basora) reported

    @AHelleneAuthor @Heorot_ I've bought from bandcamp and have had no problems. Hmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔 Try this: empty your iTunes cache. There should be a subdirectory if that doesn't work, update iTunes.

  • StreamingVideo_ iTunes • Vudu • Amazon Videos (To Own) (@StreamingVideo_) reported

    The TV Movie Hearts Down Under went on sale today for 9.99 on iTunes Starring: Cindy Busby, Tim Ross, Naomi Sequeira

  • crazyAngelCU Brit (@crazyAngelCU) reported

    @MF121032 @FIbeachbum4 @carrieunderwood Just like some ppl think ITunes counts it counts once but don’t stream it on anything you buy individual streaming is like a subscription service where you get unlimited music that’s what counts

  • dojaskittyyy dojaskittyyy (@dojaskittyyy) reported

    @HRHOUTDID @DojaCatStats The only thing that saves Oinka is multiple of versions of the song being released on the iTunes for the garbs to buy😭her streaming numbers are always terrible. Giving very much fraud😭

  • NiqDog NickDog (@NiqDog) reported

    @RichardManes5 Got my daughters hand-me-down iPhone to replace a dead Samsung (also a hand-me-down) I loved that Android allowed me to use a micro-card to store music, I don't do iTunes. I'm beastly careless about brand, as long as it's a phone and doesn't run out of charge.

  • MikeCzech Mike Czech (@MikeCzech) reported

    @DJCEEB_ What are the issues that make the Apple Music app less usable than iTunes? I have heard many many DJs say "it's worse", but I have never heard any specific reasons in relation to Serato. From what I know about it, should be the same thing as iTunes with a different name?

  • PDSmix Pimpdaddysupreme is in the MIX (@PDSmix) reported

    @CosmoBaker @Serato I had a huge problem with Music until I figured out that that they hid the Finder box (different from search box). When in Song view, click Command, Option, F. As much new music as I import, I still rely on iTunes for automatic folder sorting. I then make crates in Serato

    @gsybeintern Op could have just edited the cover on iTunes but instead did a terrible photoshop job
