New U2 album on iTunes now - and it's FREEEE!!

[Bold Seagull]

No matter how many people suggest how the **** to get this album I have supposedly purchased, it just does not appear on my iPhone or iPad ANYWHERE

It won't be on there until you download it. See my post #78 above.

Yes done that. Nothing.

Yes done that. Nothing.

Do you have more that one Apple ID? I've ended up with one for iCloud and one for iTunes and App Store. If you go to [settings] from your device, then click [itunes & app store] is the apple ID you've registered with iTunes there?

 

[Hyperion]

One ID. Everything is set up perfectly. The album just does not appear anywhere no matter what I do or where I look. It's bizarre

I don't want to make stupid suggestions, but you are definitely going through the iTunes App and not the Music App on your device?

 

[Hyperion]

Yeah. Just ain't anywhere. I even googled it and same the suggestions.

A mystery it seems

Songs of Innocence, and it's pretty good too, they kept that quiet well!

Well I am grateful for this find, thank you.

Listened to it twice today, very good album

I had problems too but signed out of i tunes and then signed back in and songs were there in library. Apologies if you've already tried this.

 

[Hyperion]

Good,grief. It seems turning it off and on again actually works. WTF is all that about?

Thanks for the people trying help.

Turning it off and on. I honestly assumed that was a computer joke. Clearly not

It automatically downloaded to my iTunes and automatically put on my iphone. I don't want this shit on my phone, why does Apple think I do?

They don't. The publicity worked though for both Apple & U2

Delete it. Problem solved.

I finally listened to the album today. Not sure where the Ramones Kraftwerk thing comes from, it sounds exactly like a latter day U2 album produced by Dangermouse which isn't surprising really.
