E|BROWNING 🛍️ Temu promoter 📩 (@EasterB55421588) reportedI have an iPhone 13 Pro and it's been having trouble connecting to iTunes. It connects to my computer just fine, but iTunes refuses to work.
-
smick 🍬 (@0xsmick) reported@grantdfindlay @ljin18 The issue is price. CDs no matter the quality are $10. iTunes tracks are $1. NFTs have an insane range and that range is always changing so anyone can see the possibility of buying low and selling high.

Stixu.io (@StickDiagrammer) reported@Gammitin You technically don't own the music on a CD you buy, either And I technically don't own the hypothetical stash of music that I got off Limewire back in the day I'm not a fan of iTunes (or whatever it's called these days), but it's not like it's just a streaming service

Charles Lee Ray (@GoodGuyChucky6) reported@TrveCvltPop Awww that U2 album got loaded onto everyone's ITunes & the latest iPhone at the time, brings back memories of that episode of broken records of that album, talking about how that the whole thing devalued music even the same thing was said when Radiohead released In Rainbows

🍡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.

-
Meng Meng (she/her) (@mengiemeng) reported@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.
-
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.

leo🪞¹³ (@kittenlover_123) reportedhis 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

Timbø $lice™ (@MMmvp56) reportedDamn @Snapchat if it's not broken don't fix it. No one wants an AI bot forced on them like a @U2 album on iTunes
-
☽⛧☾༺ 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.

Coach Popabitch 🥷🏾 (@CoachPopabitch) reported@MVPKing973 Had some of my favorite mixtapes on there. I need to login and see what they were so I can go to YouTube and convert them and download them to my iTunes.

-
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.

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. 😭
