Can't remove U2 album - even after reset to factory default

I noticed today that I got the U2 album download on my iPad.  Ok, I didn't have auto downloads turned off.  However, this is a bear to get rid off.
The U2 album does NOT show up on my Mac iTunes, it does not show up in my apple account so there is no way to hide it.
it only shows up on my iPad. (I didn't bother to check my iPhone but i am sure it is there too).
I have been reading through all these forums but there seems nothing I can do.  I just reset the iPad to factory setting and reloaded everything.
I still have the U2 album showing up as being purchased and ready to be downloaded from the cloud.
On the iPad reset I did not enable iCloud and I will not.
I simply can't believe that Apple did this - it is almost like having a virus on the system.  I hope they come up with a fix to remove this from those that did not request it.  I am disabling iCloud from all my devices due to this.  Ok I know this is a bit drastic but I am disappointed that they did this.
Thank you Apple.

Rremoved it from my iPhone just fine.
Never downloaded it onto my iPad.

    That indicates you have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Hard disk bad sectors gone after reset to factory defaults.

    Hi,
    I have HP DV6 6c19tx. a couple of days ago i noticed extreme slow startup time in my laptop; like 20 minutes. Once logged in it took another 20-30 minutes to let me click anything. I openned the task manager but no process was taking extra ordnary memory or processor. I openned HP Support assistant to troubleshoot and it showd me errors in SMART Check. which means my HDD is dying but to bad sectors. I ran the Seagate tool for HDD analysis and it also showed errors in SDST. which confirmed me that my HDD is about to die. I took the laptop to the retaler as my laptop is still in warranty. from the BIOS diagnostics he tried to run the HDD tests and it failed showing some error numer 303 or 305. He asked me to take ackup of all the data so that he can order a replacement for HDD.
    I took the laptop back to home to take the backup. after copying all the data, i wanted to remove all personal contents from the laptop so i thought y not to reset it to factory defauls. I reset it t fatory defaults and unexpectedly the system started working perfectly fine. I ran all the test that previously showed error, they all were passed; no HDD error.
    Now am confused what happened here, some one please suggest me if i still need to give it to the retailer to claim the warranty. was is some kind of virus that got removed after reseting the sestem or what. 

    I know it's been a while since you posted your question, but I've recently had an issue with some SMART software claiming that my hard drive was going to fail.  After doing some research, I discovered that there's a virus that will do this to your computer.  It eventually causes you to lose access to all of your files and you'll be unable to use your hard drive.  
    My question on this is why in the world would this program exist?  There's nothing to be gained from creating a virus that just causes your hard drive to poop out.  I'd be willing to bet that it's something the manufacturer has created that forces either a new computer purchase or a new hard drive purchase.  It also could possibly be just some dirty butt psycho dreaming of ways to cause problems for people instead of getting a real life.
    In any case, it's a virus.  Your hard drive is probably fine now.  Re-initializing the hard drive most likely wiped it out.  

  • Wifi erratic on 4S after upgrading and not working even after resetting to factory setting. Why should apple isolate itself from their own product problems  Matter of shame when they are not ready to communicate with the customer means they are dead.

    Dear Sir/Madam Since  the wifi is not coming ON how can I open this diagnostic on the iphone  4S am using and having problem with wifi behaving in erratic manner. 
    Am  a professional engineer for projects and am 68 yrs old. At one time was  looking after a production line manufacturing I C's in semiconductors  manufacturing company of the US.
    Have four apple products, one hp laptop and one DELL professional computer at home is used by only two members me and my wife.
    Wife  prefers working on ipad2 or ipad mini while traveling and has iphone 4.  Am using iphone4S with laptop and Dell computer, No apple product is  more than two years old.
    Am having the problem in using wifi on the 4S after it  was upgraded to the latest ios as per the recommendation by your  software of my iphone 4S 
    The wifi card hangs up at  it's own will and even a visit to your authorized service center in  Delhi has not able to help me although they have reverted the ios back  to the
    one supplied with the set. Am a user and not a computer expert but it looks like the wifi card is  not able to some times take the load while working which could indicate  the wifi card is getting heated up.   
    My daughter  who is Masters in 3D Animation is an ardent fan of apple products  working at present in Canada was also gifted by me a 4S about 4 months  back. My daughter-in-law is using iphone4 and an ipad for her professional  works along with a Dell PC in the US. While my son is a fan of samsung  products and does not like an apple product. 
    So in a family we have 7 apple products except MAC laptop/PC. 
    But the fact is, this problem with 4S has  really shaken me up and now it seems your products are deteriorating in  quality while demanding the best pricing structures. 
    Since  this is purely the device and the software of apple problem you may  please replace this set with new one as neither have any time to push  you/ request you after your service centre
    in Delhi told me yesterday this cannot be repaired.   
    The  serial No of my set is DN*****TC0 and was bought from an authorized  dealer and so were the other products from the same dealer in Delhi.  This set is still in showroom condition and
    was never used without a protective cover.

  • I can't install after reseting to factory defaults

    My 3 day AirPort Extreme stopped working, after I connected another router with the same SSID. So I decided to reset it to factory dafults. I followed all the steps, and I guess it worked.
    But, when I got to set up again, my iPhone can't find it. When I first set it up, it was working fine and my phone recognised it instantly.
    It's the AirPort Extreme 802.11ac, and the model is: A1521

    On the iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Enter the device passcode, then confirm.
    You will need to connect to your network again.

  • TS2446 Even after resetting password, I still get message "your apple id has been disabled. How can I download new apps?

    Even after resetting my password, I still get message "your apple id has been disabled".  How am I suppose to download updates or make purchases?

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
    If having changed your password and having logged out and back in doesn't fix it then you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Can you please specify more, what generation and is it wifi or wifi and cellular?
    The best thing to do with all ipad's is try ro set it back to factory setting, go into itunes, open the screen that displays your ipad and press, reset r factory settings or something like that.
    Remember to make a backup first! Otherwise you will lose all your files.

    Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right.  It does show my user name.  It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password.  Everything in iTunes and my account looks right.  The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
    There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store.  One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
    Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
    The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on.  You can change that by going to Settings>Store.  Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

  • HT5538 Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password

    Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password, the problem happens also with iMessage . Please help

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa
