    @iTunes why is your mobile platform such garbage? Why are there load times on downloaded music? Why can't I connect to the service right now even though I'm on wifi? You guys are terrible at making software.

    @sethdonchess @sethdonchess Silly question, is there really a slowed-down version of the song from the video in ITunes or did you slow it down?

    @iTunes is ******. Not working at all

  • chriswallace Chris Wallace 🍥 (@chriswallace) reported

    It's pretty funny that Apple hasn't released an Apple Music app for PC. iTunes is so broken and outdated.

    @havertyj @Apple @erkkiamerikka it had the original sign in screen and had to re-add my itunes information

  • emsiebelle Emma Knott (@emsiebelle) reported

    @Jeremy74 Keep the iTunes password secret... I made the error of showing my 7 y/o nephew how to change/reset the password at the weekend - and apparently he's been on a spending spree (brother not happy...)

  • havertyj John Haverty (@havertyj) reported

    @erkkiamerikka @genecassell @Apple Ah good. I did not get through my mentioned enough to see you had responded too. I do know that Apple Music was having issues this morning, so maybe that caused an issue with iTunes.

  • briandotjp calamity brian (@briandotjp) reported

    @deivudesu @gullevek I've had no such issues, that said I don't use iTunes.

    @MitchB3 Just got off the phone with support, they said that even iTunes Store support was slammed with people having the same problem. Seems to be a server-side issue, and they said it should get fixed by this afternoon CST.

    @AppleSupport so apple is broken? Date and time loading! Itunes Store not working, Apple music account is not like existing(listen now not working, search but music is playing what is downloaded)?

    @busiswaah iPhone is the worst phone in the world it doesn't share with other phones via Bluetooth, you cant download music straight to iTunes you can't even download 3rd party applications, its a useless phone with an Apple sign in the back You need a computer to do anything on it
