How do I get this stupid U2 album off of my IPhone?

This has got to be the most idiotic marketing stunt ever.  Shame on Apple for burning $100MM of shareholder money to do it. I have spent the last half hour trying to get this stupid U2 album off of my IPhone.  I tried doing it from my laptop and hid it in the ITunes Store there, but it is still showing up on my IPhone "in the cloud" ... any idea how I get it out of the cloud ... or will I just have to hate Apple forever for messing with my IPhone without my permission?

What an odd reaction to a free gift.
If your parents or children gave you a gift that you do not like, would you react this way?
Have you taken leave of all reason?
You have been given a free gift.  You can choose not to listen to it.  You can delete it from your library.
iCloud will allow you to redownload it in the future, should you choose to do so.  You can also choose to never download it again.
It seems as if you are greatly over reacting to a free gift.
How dare Apple and U2 give you something for free against your will.  The nerve.

  • How can I get this function to fire off last?

    In the following code, there are two buttons on the stage- "button1" and "button2". 
    I want to get the buttons to change frames and THEN have the "playerChange" function fire off.
    Currently, the "playerChange" function fires first. Moving the function  either renders the code inoperable or
    returns error messages.
    function buttonChange (e:MouseEvent)
    {if    
                    (e.target.currentFrame == "frame1" )
             if (e.target==button1) (playerChange)
                     (e.target.gotoAndStop(player.currentFrame + 1)) 
               else{player.gotoAndStop(player.currentFrame)
              if (e.target==button2)  (playerChange) 
                    (e.target.gotoAndStop(player.currentFrame + 1))
              else{player2.gotoAndStop(player2.currentFrame)
    button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonChange );
    button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonChange);
    Note:this is an abridged version of the code. The code I'm actually using uses 20 buttons and about 8 conditionals for each button, so e.target is more convenient than writing a command for each button.

A: How can I get this function to fire off last?

the code is very hard to understand
it's badly formatted
{}'s don't match
you aren't calling a playerChange function
this is my guess at something that might work for you
function buttonChange (e:MouseEvent)
          if(e.target.currentFrame == "frame1" )
                    if (e.target == button1)
                              e.target.gotoAndStop(player.currentFrame + 1);
                              playerChange();
                    else
                              player.gotoAndStop(player.currentFrame);
                              if (e.target == button2)
                                        e.target.gotoAndStop(player.currentFrame + 1);
                                        playerChange();
                              else
                                        player2.gotoAndStop(player2.currentFrame)
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,buttonChange );

  • How do I get videos that I recorded off of my iPhone so I can upload them to Facebook? I cannot send them via email nor MMS because it says they're too big.

    How do I get videos that I recorded off of my iPhone so I can upload them to Facebook? I cannot send them via email nor MMS because it says they're too big.

    iTunes is not used to move photos and videos from an iPhone to a computer (it is used to move them the other direction).
    Also note that a connected phone or camera does not show in the Finder on a Mac. It should show in Image Capture or iPhoto.
    The following has instructions on how to move them: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Another option is 3rd party software such as http://www.photosync-app.com

  • How do I get the old Apple ID off of my iPhone and the new one installed?

    I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

    When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to.  How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it.  Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

  • How can I get this stupid Mapneto pop up add off my FFox browser on Mac OSX? It shows "deleted" in Extensions, but now when I open a tab a download ad appears

    Had never seen these pop up pages before I tried to delete the Mapneto tool bar, now every time I open a tab or a link up pops this stupid "download completed" come-on ad which is monstrously annoying. Short of dumping Firefox and re installing, what else can be done? My "block pop ups" box is checked, too, and it does not work...I see other popups all the time. thanks.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    You can do a search on the <b>about:config</b> page for this domain and reset related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default value.

    All of your music should be in the iTunes library on the computer you regularly sync with.

  • How do I get this stupid thing to work anyway? Im trying to set it up and it's not working (FWIW I'm typing this on my real computer - not an apple)

  • Nano touch...songs only repeat...how do I get this feature to turn off?

    MY new nano repeats whatever song I select forever, even if within an album.  I assume that once I select an album, it should play all the songs. 

    It sounds like the repeat setting has been abled.See the section entitled "Controlling Playback" on page 28 of your iPod's User Guide to learn how to turn this setting off.

  • My 6th gen nano will go to sleep after 1min. if I don't keep touching the sceen or pushing the buttons. How can I get this function to turn off?

    I can't relax and listen to music as my nano will go to sleep after just one minute of not touching it. This is really irritating and needs to get fixed. Can anyone help? I've read the manual and it doesn't say anything about my problem.

    Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark. The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
    Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
    Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
    Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

  • How do I get my entire iTunes library off of my iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 4s, and for some reason I have every song in my iTunes library on my phone. I put in my settings on the computer to only sync my playlist, but it still puts on other playlists that I can't delete off my phone.
    EDIT: I've noticed that in my playlists section, it has the one playlist I want plus all of the "automatic" playlists or whatever they're called, ones that have a little gear next to them, like "90's Music: or "Top 25 Most Played", and It won't let me delete this playlist from my phone, or iTunes,

    I don't think you can control what playlists appear on the phone under iOS 6.0.2 - I noticed it synced every playlist I had created on iTunes.

  • How do I get my recently played music off of my iPhone 4s?

    So ever since I updates for the recent version of iOS6 onto my iPhone 4S, my recently purchases music has not gone away. My problem is the I took the playlist with the songs I bought off my iPhone and the songs are still there even though the playlist is gone. Is there anyway I can delete them off my iPhone and so they will not come back?

    For purchased content, iTunes running, your phone connected: File>Transfer Purchases.

  • Album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download.  Submitting is not working

    album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download.  Submitting is not working

    Hello!
    I own a small company and we are having the same problems.
    IE9 is not working with the latest flash update infact the update has messed up flash complety for all sites once installed.  I went to YouTube eariler and it warned that I needed to install to the new Flash Player upon instaling and returning to YouTube it had the same message. This led us to download both the x86 and x64 versions and useing the uninstaller went through each one and tried the updates. None of the downloadable updates from Adobes site works. I have also loaded up Windows XP in a virtual machine and trying IE 8 with the latest updates and it as well does not work and does the same thing upon updateing it just keeps saying to install the latest update allthough it has allready been done!
    Now on the other hand I loaded FireFox and it had the same update and upon restarting the browser after applying the update and it works just fine!
    Im on a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate box and ran the WindowsXP in the VM. FireFox was loaded on the main OS and worked fine after said update.
    Of Course I have allready double checked the running addons in IE 9 and the files within the /system32/ and all the flash files go there (x86 and x64 were differnt named files)
    Im guessing there is something conflicting betwen IE (IE 8 and 9 tested)
    Now this is not just happining on this machine but all of our desktops and laptops no one has any trouble with FireFox working
    Also this will break all flash objects in IE even localy as now no flash works it acts like it is not installed.
    Guess will see how long this takes to get fixed or aknowledged...  lol

    Also, how can I remove duplicate photos in an album without doing it manually?
    Thanks!

    When the prompt pops up next time you start iPhoto select Learn more. Then click on iPhoto preferences and select the Accounts tab. Delete your MM account and the quit iPhoto. Next time you open iPhoto the problem should be eliminated.
