How did albums get into my iCloud?

I recently reset my computer to factory settings as I was having problems but that is not what this topic is about.  I installed iTunes and found some albums in the iCloud that I did not purchase from iTunes.  In particular was a 2014 album by U2 named Songs of Innocence.  I have not purchased anything from iTunes for a long time.  If this is a feature of iCloud to add music into it, why did not all my albums get into iCloud?

Apple gifted everyone U2's Songs of Innocence album earlier this year as part of a promotion. It confused a lot of people and was not an uncontroversial decision.

  • How do I get into my icloud account

    I'm new to icloud. How do I get into my icloud account (not my icloud email)?

    To access some of your account settings and other data you can go to http://www.icloud.com on a Mac or PC (not an iOS device), though this will not show, for example, storage used or purchased data settings.
    To make use of iCloud sign in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud (or the iCloud Control Panel on a PC) and enable the data types you want to sync. You can also view data usage there and purchase additional storage if required.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • How did dust get into macbook pro screen

    I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro 13 inch w/glossy screen, and somehow, what appears to be dust specks have gotten between the LCD and the plastic cover/casing that's over it. There are only a few of them, but they are extremely annoying because I can see them. My computer has never been in a dusty place, so I'm at a loss to explain this, and I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem, and what (if any) solution there is.

    The solution is to take it apart and clean it.
    The solution actually to take it apart and clean it and then put it back together without allowing more dust specks than you removed to get in while you're reassembling it. The italicized part is the hard part — maddeningly hard, even for a capable technician. I suspect this is precisely the reason why Apple never disassembles the display, but replaces the entire assembly as a unit.

  • HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
    If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
    If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
    If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
    Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

  • HT4759 I have the icon above in settings.  How do I get into see what is in icloud?  Thanks

    I have the icon above in settings.  How do I get into see what is in icloud?  Thanks

    Thanks, but there's nothing in there I find that tells me how to get my Menu bar back. All of chatzilla's options are in the menu bar for any settings to be made. Without that, I have no hope of fixing what went wrong. I tried removing and reinstalling chatzilla, but that didn't work. My problem is that I lost the menu bar at the top of the chatzilla window. If I can't get that back, then I'll just have to deal with it until I'm able to buy a new machine, which I need anyhow. But being as this happened from something I did, there should be a way to undo what I did, or at least get back the menu bar.

    I have a lot of things stored in iCloud from over the last 6years. How do I get into iCloud to tidy it up?

    Hi there maxfitz1,
    If you have upgraded to iCloud Drive, you can manage you data in a variety of ways. Take a look at the article below for more information. 
    iCloud Drive FAQ
    How do I access all my files in iCloud Drive?
    You can access your files in iCloud Drive any of these ways:
    Using any supported web browser, you can go to iCloud Drive at iCloud.com.
    On your Mac with OS X Yosemite, you can go to iCloud Drive in Finder.
    On your PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud for Windows 4.0, you can go to iCloud Drive in File Explorer.
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 8, you can use Apple apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, or any apps that support iCloud Drive.

    I locked myself out of my phone and am out of the country without access to a computer only an iPad to email and access iCloud  how can I get into my phone

    Hi Myreiac,
    Here's what the Apple Support site says you can do if you do not have access to a computer when your device has been disabled:
    If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.
    You can access Find My iPhone via the Find My iPhone app on your iPad.
    Good luck!
    Cheers,
    GB

  • How do I get the correct ICloud account on my iOS devices?

    Hello. A few days ago, I changed my Apple ID username from my old email to my new one. Everything worked fine and I was able to re-login to the App Store, iMessage, etc. A few days later, I got a message from iCloud asking me to login. When I tried to login it failed and I realized that it was using my old Apple ID email to login to iCloud. So I went into accounts and tried to delete that account and add the account with the correct Apple ID. When I tried to delete the account it asked for my iCloud password to confirm, which doesn't work because it is using my old Apple ID. I then tried to add my current iCloud account without deleting the old one, but when I did it said it was already on the device. How do I get the correct ICloud account on my iOS devices?

    Log out of the old ID, then login using the new one with the correct pw.

  • I can't sign in to iCloud. My Apple ID is valid, but os not an iCloud account. How do I get to use iCloud?

    I can't sign in to iCloud. My Apple ID is valid, but is not valid for iCloud. How do I get to use iCloud?

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID.  You can only sign into an existing account on a PC.  You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.
