The UK’s Telegraph newspaper reports today that the UK will not be getting iTunes in iCloud until at least Q1 of 2012. According to a spokesman for the Performing Rights Society (PRS), negotiations with Apple to secure rights for composers, songwriters and music publishers in the UK had only just started.

“The licensing team at the PRS have started talks with Apple, but are a long way off from any deals being signed,” the spokesman told the Telegraph. “It is very much the early stages of the negotiations and is similar to the launch of iTunes – which began in the US and took a while to roll out to other countries.”

The Telegraph also spoke to a music executive at a major record label, who asked to remain anonymous, who concurred with the PRS spokesman’s statement that talks between the interested parties have only just begun, adding that “no one expects to see the cloud music service live on this side of the pond until 2012.”

Is it just the iTunes part then? I'm getting icloud services already. App store, backups etc...

Yes I think it's just the iTunes part, I'm getting those services too.
 
Well if it's just the stuff you buy of itunes then I won't miss it much. You had me worried i would loose the cloud after ios5 is publicly released. Lol...
 
well you already have it with the ios beta ;) so do i.. but 5GB is not enough for me so it does not let me purchase more storage atm.. so i am using it for contacts and small things atm
 
What I dot get is that it's counting my photos as using up space. Didn't jobs say that it wouldn't count...?

He did say that as far as I remember. But question> Is iCloud already available?
 
Some features are available on 4.3.3 like your purchase history in the app store. My wife's 3GS also got a notification a couple seconds after I downloaded an app the other day.

There are lots more icloud features available on the iOS 5 beta...

Ohh I see. Because I wanted to get the hole iCloud and the apple web site told me that they will notify me via email went the iCloud will be available. But I do have the apps purchased history in the app store.
 
well you can enable it in the settings on ios beta 5... but its not worth using atm if you need more then 5GB backup
 
Has anyone got photo steam working yet? I have the album on my phone but nothing shows up in iTunes...
