@AppleSupport The problem is an Apple phone program problem. So you would need to send an update to stop the notification being permanently shown as a banner on the phone. I can delete all other banners but not the settings banner. iTunes cannot help me with that.

@AppleSupport I’m not home at the moment, but it basically tries to start the backup, stops after few seconds saying “iTunes couldn’t backup iPhone because an error has occurred” without stating the specific error. I might be able to provide you with a screenshot as soon as I get home.

@PHRHD @IanJBattaglia it's a pain cause itunes is a UX nightmare, but weirdly, older devices in itunes still behave like they used to: my iphone se: constantly resyncs random music, has undeleteable 'ghost songs', can't manually manage without errors, etc ipod touch 4: drag music from itunes onto icon

@bzamayo Amazon Drive did the same thing. I had my iTunes library on Amazon Drive. When I moved all the files off of it, iTunes was missing dozens of videos and music. Never had this problem with @Dropbox.

@AppleSupport hello. My dad is having issues when trying to backup his iPhone 7 via iTunes. After a few seconds a message pops up saying iTunes couldn’t update because “an error had occurred”. He claims he had this happen to him before and he managed to resolve it in the past.

I've had this app that basically gives you points for playing video games on your phone, but in AUS the prize choices are terrible (iTunes. I DON'T HAVE AN IPHONE). But here in the UK there are Starbucks gift cards so you bet I'm going to get myself a mf frappe today, *****.

@TheAuthorGuy @CheeseMacDeluxe @librofm I've been thinking about breaking down & subscribing to Audible, buying audio books on iTunes more & more lately. I've been sick, can't read bc of coughing, & am sick of TV. I'd much rather support independent booksellers!

@imkingofnowhere Yeah I run into the same problem. You may want to try muliple retailers. Some codes will work with iTunes and movies anywhere even if they don't work elsewhere. I've had a few that worked that way even when expired.

@GrammyDeptHead @sidetooutside @Katyoftheboyz @Dylan19m @headlineplanet @Zedd @katyperry The only other platforms are amazon, google play, and yeah that’s practically all. You don’t see artists promoting their songs through these platforms bc iTunes is just THAT service. Nothing compares to it (impact-wise).

Dave Young (@Daveyoungdesign) reported
So a film and iBook I had previously purchased had their cover artwork updated which meant it was deleted from my iTunes library... @AppleSupport couldn’t fix and also couldn’t refund... Really awful service. Over 10 years using @AppleTV wonder what I will loose next...

@quintenpowell I’ve not had a single issue with my fire. Unlike my appletv, which would reset itself at random, and eventually just every second episode of whatever you watched. I only wish I could mirror my computer through it. And play iTunes.

@charlesarthur Equally, I'll never use it. I'll never forgive Apple for the circa 2008 iTunes screw-up, I spent days of time rescuing 2-friends music collections... I've never used an Apple product, and aside from Prime don't need a paid streaming audio service of any kind.

I’m happy to say @AppleSupport was able to help us with our iPhone 7 iOS 12.1.4 “No Signal” problem. For some reason, going into iTunes and ‘Updating’ to 12.1.4 again fixed the issue. They have the details if you ask, but that’s pretty much it.
