  • _jakery jacob (@_jakery) reported

    @SceneOnRadio Hey, twice in the last few weeks my downloaded podcasts from your show have been deleted, forced to re-download, and the listened flag flipped. No other pods have had this trouble. Any idea what might be up? I'm using the itunes feed with @OvercastFM

  • kara_hannibal Kara E Hannibal (@kara_hannibal) reported from Port Saint Lucie, Florida

    I heard “Let You Down” ft Eminem on the radio, wanted to hear the whole song, went home to my ITunes library and “Like Home” was next on the list (first time I heard it).

  • ScotttSee Mr C (@ScotttSee) reported

    @MKBHD I'm not a user but I support them and the only iPhone 14 I've worked on would not restore an iCloud backup (errors out) until we used iTunes to force an iOS update. The fact that it didn't update itself before the import was annoying.

  • matt_clawson matt clawson (@matt_clawson) reported

    How is Apple allowed to require iTunes for doing basic file operations on iOS devices? I would jump over to their platform in a heartbeat if I knew that I could manage my own dang filesystem without a cloud service or invasive software package. Nobody seems bothered by this?

  • KazistrasZ KazistrasZ (@KazistrasZ) reported

    @Casual_Lynx @Seraphimnoted @SaffronOlive Any process that randomly distributes will create clumps fairly often. That's the definition of random. It's why iTunes had to move to shuffling the order of your playlist artificially instead of randomly drawing songs from it. People thought it was broken. People are dumb.

    Congrats @AppleMusic on 100 million songs. I still wish something revolutionary were done to the interface. Using it since it was just iTunes, there are still so many issues with the way the app works and behaves. On the desktop front it's dismal.

    iTunes and Spotify are the solution to full blown piracy. In an age where we, the people, devalued music to FREE; iTunes and Spotify provide a service that, while may not pay in abundance, pays none-the-less. It was the answer to the problem created by piracy. 🫡

  • nslons Neale Lonslow (@nslons) reported

    Listening to the radio through iTunes is a terrible experience. Doesn't work all the time. Though there are also the times that iTunes doesn't open either. urgh. Don't want to register/login to a radio website in order to listen. That's not what radio is !

  • Hannibal710 hannibal710 (@Hannibal710) reported

    @JesseCox iTunes is having issues again this week

  • womb2waste heaven ♡ (@womb2waste) reported

    @noway_jose69 remember when i made u buy me that terrible ******* song cause it was only on itunes

  • CaptialTee TeeTee😻 (@CaptialTee) reported

    @AlexThaBarb Because she knows it’s FRAUDULENT! U can’t celebrate when u know it’s fraudulent! It NEVER went number 1 on iTunes all genre etc. going down on all charts etc. this is clearly payola to try n keep up with Nicki.

  • Mja167Aquino mimita aquino (@Mja167Aquino) reported

    @Felecia34528096 @toyabushharris She deserves it. Since the beginning she has been a trouble maker now she has to handle the Respect iTunes

  • notwildscreamz not em (@notwildscreamz) reported

    @__Craving__ yea it all comes down to that red tv for example is 15 dollars on us itunes and u get the 30 songs but it counts as 1 album unit if u were to go 10 songs individually it would still count as 1 album unit but for 12.9 dollars

  • FrezzingColdOut Dισɳԃɾҽ 🫣 (@FrezzingColdOut) reported

    @ItzNuNu5 @chartdata @iamcardib Nicki got the most #1’s on Apple Music (16) for a female rapper. Chi bye and (26) total #1’s on iTunes. Also she had the biggest sales week for a female rapper with Dwhap no sfg outsold Nicki competing with herself literally. Your tired and bitter sit down you’ve been cleared 🪑

  • Trcv_ebooks Trebooks (@Trcv_ebooks) reported

    I'm having iMessage problems, I currently have the iOS 6 iTunes app on my phone later today, maybe I'll find some cheaper options.

  • DeedeeTheLeo Dee💕 ♌️ (@DeedeeTheLeo) reported

    @pm14271 Did fine dunce. Sales were great. Hit #1 on iTunes. Pushed the original to the top 3 on billboard. Super Freaky Girl original is just too big of a smash hit that the remix couldn’t overcome.. But the song did what it was intended to do. What’s your issue?

  • PeerSpencer Spencer Peer (@PeerSpencer) reported

    @billyeichner I'm going to torrent it, not even watch it, and just delete it as soon as the download finishes. Because **** your terrible movie and ****** condescending "it's everyone's fault except for the people who made and marketed the movie" attitude. Your iTunes trailers were annoying.

  • anijen21 Jenny (@anijen21) reported

    Resolved this issue this morning, but now itunes won’t sync new music I just bought last night? Love how it takes two full days for me to sync my gatdamn phone to my computer (they REALLY want you to pay for icloud)

  • zeldafan0019921 Zeldafan001992 (@zeldafan0019921) reported

    @domineeektwitch only 2 I know of from working with apple devices is itunes or their cloud service. They lock their devices out to where you have to do this if you want their support

  • miss_inputs Megan 🐈 (@miss_inputs) reported

    I think when you sign in with an Apple ID it should be like "Hello Megan, we can see that you have never used this since like 10 years ago when you used Windows!iTunes to buy music. Would you like a guide on what ******** Macs have become in this time"

  • ianjeffray Ian Jeffray (@ianjeffray) reported

    Both @Xero and @trello issues magically went away when I did a forced upgrade from iOS 16.0 to 16.0.2 (iTunes offered it, phone didn't). Thanks @Apple for wasting our time today.

  • thaPathukalam prashanth (@thaPathukalam) reported

    @r3dash None. Did fresh install. Factory reset + iOS 16.0.2 installation via iTunes. No restore from backup. I don’t see any issues.

  • ecowizzy Ecowizzy (@ecowizzy) reported

    @gloverapp… I haven’t been able to get my ITunes Gift Card since I purchase it still pending, What’s the problem

  • karahannibal Kara Hannibal (@karahannibal) reported from Port Saint Lucie, Florida

    @Wayakart IMO, people who are selling NFT’s that access downloadable content (music) are shooting themselves in the foot. And it really comes down to convenience. Why would I want to drag and drop a file into my media player when I could just look it up on iTunes? 🤔

  • MistaRafael Raphael (@MistaRafael) reported

    @Aunty_Les If you trying to sort out iTunes and Netflix etc related issues UBA Mastercard or pre-paid cards will fix that for you

  • ImJ0nesy49 Imjonesy49 (@ImJ0nesy49) reported

    I don’t care if a body of music is a mixtape, album, or EP. Mixtape sites and apps are terrible and you can add mixtapes to your phone via iTunes. I’ll pay $1, to hear A @payrollgio song that he only dropped on Bandcamp tho. Easily.

  • forevrclown Official Cat Friend (@forevrclown) reported

    Just curious why you guys have been okay with functions that turn their sound devices on and off while driving and causing lives to be destroyed and highways shut down because @Apple @AppleMusic really wants to remind you that iTunes or whatever you rebranded to is on a phone.
