Apple launches portal to "get rid" of free U2 record

U2GroupDuring last week's keynote, Apple announced that users of iTunes had access to U2's new pre-released album.  What people did not know is, that the album would automatically download to a person's Mac.  While some appreciated the gesture, a number of iTunes customers did not.  So much so, that Apple has created a separate portal to help those customers "get rid" of the unwanted album from their iTunes library.

Disgruntled users need to go to http://itunes.com/soi-remove and click the "Remove Album" button.

So, what if you're with a carrier that's NOT listed on Apple's web site?

iPhone 6As we all know, Apple unleashed its pre-orders for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus last Friday.  Going through the ordering process, you'll notice that it lists the 4 major cell phone companies.  But what if you have another provider, such as Consumer Cellular or Virgin Mobile?

Fear not!  For we verified this information with Consumer Cellular.  A rep told us that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus "will be available for ordering by the end of September or early October."  Of course, other cell phone carriers may have different dates.  But their is hope!

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus now available for pre-order

iPhone 6At 12:01am Pacific, Apple's newest iPhone became available for pre-order, and as always, there were some glitches along the way in the ordering process.

At approximately 12:10am, Apple experienced communication problems with carriers such as AT&T when it came to the verification process.  This resulted in orders being "pending" for some, but not for others.  The problem was fixed around 2:15am Pacific Time.

And the usual slowness with the web site and ordering process occurred as well.

Stay with AppleScoop as we bring you the latest on iPhone pre-ordering day.
