Why are there songs in my iTunes that I did not put there?

I just checked on my iTunes music library and there are songs on it that I did not add?  I am the ONLY one that uses this computer.  I downloaded one U2 song from YouTube on 8/17/2014 and put it in my iTunes and now I seem to have an entire album from U2 in my library as of 9/6--Other than downloading that one song I did not attempt to do anything associated with U2 (searching for them in iTunes store, etc).  It also has the little cloud next to the songs.  I am sure I did not purchase anything from iTunes.  I still have only 16 cents (as I have for over a year) on my iTunes account and have no credit card on file.  Where would they come from? 

If they have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud, not on your iPod. You can turn off the showing of iCloud music via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all' heading) 'off'.
But if you have never bought/downloaded those songs then they shouldn't show in the cloud for streaming/redownloading - the U2 album was an exception, Apple automatically added that to everyone's account whether they wanted it or not. It's your account that shows as being logged in in Settings > iTunes & App Store ?

    i have games on my computer that i did not put there.how do i delete them.  now i can't sync anything because it says it is full.

    What version iPod do you have? If it is an older click-wheel mode and the games that came with it then there is no way to delete them but they take up very little space.

  • Why are Iclouds songs in my Itunes Library?

    I started to noticed that there are songs in my library that I did not purchase.  When I go to view info the storage says Icloud.  These are classic music that appeared in my Library out of now where and I've not recieved any bill for them nor do they show up in my recent purchased tab.  When I delete them, it ask are you sure you want to delete this song from Icloud?  Where is this pulling from? Where do I go to view or find these so called songs that I never purchased.  I'm curious that maybe somebody has stolen my user name or something.
    Thanks.

    It might be prudent to change your iTunes password and security questions.
    You can create a smart playlist with all your undownloaded iCloud items like this:
    This should make it easier to check for suspect items. You can turn on the column Purchased Date to show when items were purchased. Perhaps you can spot a pattern.

  • HT204088 How do I file a claim for a purchase from iTunes that I did not do?

    How do I file a claim for a purchase from iTunes that I did not do?

    First, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    If they are and you're sure you or someone you know didn't make the purchase, perhaps as an in-app purchase, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. 
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account and it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

  • Why are the songs in my itunes library playing at slow speeds?

    Why are the songs in my library playing at slower speeds? They sound likean old casette player with rundown batteries?

    What are your hardware specs?
    OS, version of iTunes, etc....
    Is this on a computer or iOS device?
    iPods can change the playback speeds, but in iTunes on desktop/laptop, it could be caused by other programs.

  • I have been receiving billings / charges from itunes that i did not purchased.

    i received several billings / charges to my account that i did not purchased from itunes. how can i make a formal report / complaint to itunes store?

    The most immediate thing you need to do is to call your credit card company and report the unauthorized charges. Your card company can contact Apple if they need additional information.
    Next, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History. If they are, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Charges have been made to my bank account from iTunes that I did not make .  How can I speak to someone about this matter.

    I have charges madero my bank account that I did not make.  How can I speak to a live person?  I show nothing on my account as purchased.  The purchase on bank account says itunes store purchase.  I think someone hacked my account.  Any help?

    Call your credit card company immediately and dispute the charges - sounds as though someone has used your credit card especially since there is nothing showing on your account as purchased.
