How do I remove the free U2 album from my iTunes library?

True I've only had every iPhone since the 2G but its probably me the user. I tried your suggestion and it won't let me download it because I'm not authorize. Probably because I hid it in iTunes. I'll uhide it tomorrow and try that because those 2 songs are still showing. Getting late for me so hopefully that works

Erase your phone, do not restore it, that will take care of gifts that are not good enough for you

How many times do I have to say I have show all music set to "Off" and I did completely hide the album in iTunes. If some other people on here were not so ignorant and just answer a simple question maybe this thread wouldn't be 10 pages long. I have done this since my first or second post and your all coming back with follow the steps or ask a child answers.

How many times do you have to try before you realise that you don't know how to use your iPhone.

Erase the phone, take it to Apple, leave it in a public place.

Any of these would be better than what you are doing now, better for us as well.

It's time you took lessons on how to operate your iPhone, ignorance may be bliss but it still affects U2

I Asked that from the beginning and people like Pete said ask a child or read back a few for instruction. So yes I asked this about 4 pages ago

You never mentioned that you are a beta tester using beta software, as well as insulting us you wasted everyones time with your mendacious posts.

Selfish little person aren't you.

IF you could read properly I did mention it, I'd expect more out of a level 8 but then again we know how smart the level 5's are

As I don't believe that you are telling the truth you will have to post a link to it, otherwise my opinion of you must remain the same.

Post a link to the post you mentioned it in, or remain just a trolling noise.

it was deleted but next time I'll be sure to take a screen shot. Or better yet don't ask at all because most are ignorant on here. "Apple Support Community" at its best. Ask a question and get trolled on until you leave.

I'm not calling for a class, just noting that many are.

And amazed at the vitriol that an offer of a free gift attracts from a small but vocal group. (One comparison to Nazism was particularly laughable)

To me it just looks like bad manners over nothing.

Your comments are well made, and it would be nice if people could behave with courtesy. But I still maintain that CSound1 misses the point whilst he continues to labouriously berate Grandmstrbud. The point is quite simple:- To my mind Apple have betrayed an implicit trust that they accept when they inform you that "your details will not be used/shared/compromised" etc etc in particular for Commercial Gain. Yet Apple invade my privacy by downloading into the "cloud" they kindly give me to use (I hope that mollifies you CSound1) having assured me of the privacy, safety and security of that data space they are loaning / renting / giving (please tick the correct one Csound1) to me whilst I remaiin a customer of Apple..

This is particularly worrying at the present time when there have been allegations that the of the pictures leaked onto the web from (it is alleged) the Apple Cloud may (it is alleged) have been leaked by an alleged apple employee.

It is simply CSound1, the removal of free choice that I think many of the "objectors" take exception to.

Now let's all play nice shall we?

Explain how the provision of a link from where you can choose to download a free gift violates your privacy, security or safety?

What has been breached, certainly not the iTunes library terms of use (the ones you previously agreed to) so what exactly was?

Any download has to be initiated by you, either by automatic download if you have chosen that method, manual download or by playing the song.

Thanks - worked. I synched my phone before and it did not accomplish anything. Thanks for being specific. That "gift" took about 3 hours of my time to remove all traces. I didn't want U2 to play when I am playing my songs on shuffle. I hope Apple never tries this again.

Some people seem to be missig the point.

This seems to be the thin end of a very large wedge. If Apple continue to kindly provide us with free albums I will end up with more free albums that I dont want in my list, than albums that I do want. This will make not improve my life or my temper in any way.

Go and hide it you say, why should I have to, I didn't ask for it, why should I have to take time out of my life to deal with something that has been forced on me.

I have utilised the feedback form to make my feeling known.

Dunno what the big de is. You appear to be a U2 fan. Anyway, you haven't downloaded them yet. Read back in this thread for instructions on hiding the purchase. It has been given many many times on these forums.

Pete

Yes it is the end of the world. Forget wars and terrorism. This is mans greatest problem at present. Maybe if you follow the instructions given many times here then life will return to normal and you can sleep.

Pete

Thanks to AM Sayer (OP) and a belated thanks to Apple who have at last recognised the democratic swell of opinion against the unasked for inclusion of the U2 album in their cloud and taken action. The link works perfectly. A victory for freedom of choice (sorry CSound1). Thanks to all

think about it really if they can add something to your phone without notification then someone can remove it also. I mean **** didn't a bunch of celebs just get hacked? even though apples saying its not from their software it really makes me think that if they have a way into our devices to install an album I bet theres a way to access your info to some extent that way possibly even gain complete access to everything on the device and you would never know.
