I think this was very typical Apple and actually if Steve Jobbs was still
around, he would have totally done this as well. He (Steve Jobbs) always
said people don't know what they want or need and he basically has to tell
them. This is one reason why Apple has never bothered with panels, user
groups and so on, they don't ask the consumer what they think their products
or services should be like, they create a product or service and tell the
consumer that it's exactly what they need.

Hi,
I think this all boils down to choice, and the perception of choice. Where
Apple took a misstep was n taking away some perceived control from the
consumer. It's purely psychological in my opinion. In many ways, being
forced to take something you don't want is emotionally similar to having
something taken away from you. I agree, realistically, this isn't a big
deal, and has little to know tangible effects. But in general, I do think
its bad form. I'm actually a bit surprised to see Apple make a mistake with
users such as this.
I mean, if they just had it as a free download in the iTunes store, and had
it on their feature page, none of this would even be an issue. I figured
the marketing people at Apple should have seen this coming.
Just my 2 cents. :)

Anyhow, I do find it interesting, I never even wasted a thought on the
fact that maybe this could be annoying. They give you the album, it's
there for you to download or not. If you set iTunes not to show your
cloud purchases unless they are downloaded you will never even see it.
OK, that's the last I have to say about it. I did download it and it's
actually not a bad album. Apart from that the entire issue is about as
pointless as the discussion about Apple downloading new iOS updates to
your phone or the one about Apple not allowing you to downgrade to
older versions of iOS. Sometimes life just is so unfair and aweful, isn't
it.

Hello Sieghard,
My friend, I agree with you in most aspects of your reply accept one.
You stated that if someone gave you a free CD, you would accept it
graciously. The key word here is accept. No doubt that you would, as
would
I. However, that is not what Apple did, What they did is more like :
You come home, one evening, open up your locked house, and find that
someone broke into your house and placed a CD on your kitchen table
without first asking permission to enter your house. It is not the
free album that I and others object to but the way in which they delivered
it.

Subject: RE: Where did it come from?
I don't know who Kim is and I guess this is one example where
repeating statements from others without checking results in spreading
wrong information. When I opened iTunes I did not see the album
because I have iTunes set not to show "purchases in the cloud". I had
to first uncheck that in Settings before I saw the album at which
point the album showed up, but I definitely had to download it first.
On my phone I also am not showing my iCloud music and the album still
is not showing. I manage the music on my phone via iTunes and I sync
selected music so until I connect my phone to iTunes and check U2 this
will not sync to my phone which means it will not take up a single Bite of
space on my phone.
I am really surprised how many people are upset with Apple for giving
them a free album especially one from a popular band. Yes, not
everybody may like U2, but what ever happened to "you don't look a
gift horse in the mouth". If somebody gave me that CD physically as a
present I would not bite off their head, but I would thankthem and if
I didn't like it I would either give the CD away or throw it in the
garbage later. It appears that in about a month this will disappear from
people's accounts if you don't download it.

Sieghard

I thought it worked that way too but Kim is reporting that this one is
being downloaded automatically and to get it off your device you have
to move it to the cloud or somewhere but you can't get it out of ITunes.
I am just saying what she is reporting not authenicating her statements.

Music you buy is like apps you buy and it has nothing to do with iTunes.
Anyhow, if you don't download it to your iPhone or other iDevice it
takes up no space just like an app you once bought and deleted takes
up no space, but it's still there in your purchase history for you to
download if you want it.

Hi,
According to Kim Komando Apple did this but once it is in your ITunes
you can't get rid of it. And, it is taking up most of the memory on
small memory IPhones.
Wow am I glad I almost never use ITunes.

I found it amusing to see the schtick Tim Cook pulled with that. It
was fun, and while I'm not fanatical about U2, I'll give it a listen.
I thought the song that was performed was pretty nice. But hey, if you
don't like them, you can remove them. It doesn't count against your iCloud
space, though.

Don't worry, nothing was hacked. That was a stunt Apple pulled on
Tuesday, basically crediting every Apple ID tied to an iOS device with the
album.
Instead of a code to download it, though, it essentially told iTunes
that everyone "bought" the album. It was free to everyone, and now
everyone has it in their purchase history. Surprise!

Hi,
I was going through my music and I discovered U2's latest album. I
didn't buy it and I have no credit in the iTunes Store. Have I been hacked

Has this happened to Anton else? Where did it come from? Could this
have to do with the extra iCloud space I just got? Help!
