Know the Following:


  • iTunes is Not More:

It's not a glitch. For some devices, iTunes is not longer in use. Such as macOS Catalina and thereafter. The Music app is used for Music, whereas the TV app is used for TV Shows and Movies. See Here: What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support


  • Removed from iTunes Store:

Sometimes, items are removed from the iTunes Store, and they never become accessible again. It all has to do with licensing between Apple and the Developer or Studio. Moreover, it is something you would have agreed to, upon purchasing the item. That's just the way it is :(

I (we) know how to use it! This is what I (we - other users with same complaint!) When you tap "the three dots" It opens a list of options just like it has for years, but now the option to "buy on iTunes" is greyed out (it is still there but not active. You know it would take literally 2 minutes to try this yourself. I have had a tech "share screen" and he had no answer. Hard not to swear this is B S!
