Why the constant signing in to iTunes?

This question has arisen once or twice before (around 2008) but the replies seemed uncertain and I am hoping more positive details are now on hand.
When I go into iTunes, I am invariably presented with the following prompt ...
Sign in to use this computer for automatic downloads.
Enter Account name and Password.
If I click cancel twice running, the prompt goes away and I can play music or download App updates to my heart's content.
So why the irritating prompt, especially as 99% of the music on file is my music gleaned from other sources and had nothing to do with Apple.

Thanks for your interest, Limnos.   I haven't really looked (but will later on).   But as I see things, that's a pretty authoratative statement and not something one would expect a disabling option for.

    Same as your previous problem.

  • Constant signing in to iTunes and the AppStore

    I don't know what I did--maybe it was a week or so ago when I purchased something and the iPad got a little wonky on me as I was entering my password and went back to the home screen--but now every time I enter the AppStore, or launch iTunes, I have to enter my username and password. How do I turn this off?

    Hi Rocky,
    Tap Settings on the Home Screen. Then tap Mail/Contacts/Calendars.
    Tap your Account on the right. In the dialog box tap "Account Info"
    Enter your AppleID name if necessary, then type in the password.
    Tap done.

  • Why cant i sign in to itunes with my me address?

    does anyone know why i cant change my itunes sign in/email address, from my gmail to my me account?

    I would assume that Apple are using the same ports for iCloud as they did for MobileMe.
    Have a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629 it lists the TCP / UDP ports that apple use.

  • Why the **** when I sync my Itunes with my Iphone all is erased

    Hello epic Apple, I am an firstTime Iphone BFU user and I want to know why when I download from my Iphone any Application or music or something else via wifi or Edge my Itunes on My WinXp installed pc will erase it in a moment when a sync it? I had music on my Iphone and I havent any on my pc yet. So Itunes decided to erase it? It is ok? And why te Itunes does not allow to transfer data from pc to Iphone device? Which marketing strategy do you want to go? Buy an Iphone tranfer device or Apple Idisk? Because the breaking internet display device via Iphone dont allows you to use the internal capacity in an usefull way? I dont know what about are you thinking of.. I hope the next firmware will fix things such as copy and paste, data transfer, better mesaging support and else. Because if you want to do something better do it best! bye

  • United Kingdom v UK why the constant conflicts

    With 4000 contacts in my AB syncing with MobileMe it is getting a little annoying to keep getting conflicts sometimes upto 2900 at a time when AB says United Kingdom but Mobile Me says there is a conflict because MobileMe is set to UK?
    How can I get rid of this?

    Is the billing address for your card UK or US, and where are you residing?

  • Did Occipital, Inc. stop making the ClearCam app? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Why was the ClearCam app deleted from iTunes.?

    The ClearCam app by Occipital, Inc. was deleted from iTunes? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Does anyone know why the app was deleted from iTunes? Just looking for an answer, because I used that app on a daily basis for work. I'd appreciate it so much if some had an answer to this question. Thanks

    I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
    Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
    Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

  • How can I stop the constant and repeated pop-up to sign-in to iTunes?

    How can I stop the constant and repeated pop-up to sign-in to iTunes?

    You might have an app or iTunes purchase that belongs to a different Apple ID.  Look very carefully at the popup and make sure it is referenceing your correct Apple ID.

  • Anyone getting the constant pop saying to sign in with itunes up on their 4s after installing the new software?

    Whenever I open an application I get this annoying pop saying to sign in with itunes up on their 4s after installing the new software?  You have to press OK to make it go away but sometimes it doesn't and I have to reboot my phon

    have you signed into your Itunes account as it is asking?

  • I have an apple id but ı can not use it for sign in to itunes connect account while publishing my ibook document. Why ı can not login? What can ı do to figure out this problem?

    I have an apple id but ı can not use it for sign in to itunes connect account while publishing my ibook document. Why ı can not login? What can ı do to figure out this problem?

    As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
    If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

  • I used an American Express card to purchase my Ipad from Apple online. I have an Apple ID. why can't I use Amex as my payment method when signing in to Itunes?

    I have an Apple ID, created when I recently purchased an ipad from Apple online. I used my Amex as payment method. Why can I not use my Amex as payment method when signing in to iTunes for the first time?

    Yup, I'm a Kiwi, living in sunny Blenheim. Just seems odd that I can use Amex for purchasing in the Apple store but not in the iTunes store. Perhaps the higher charge set by Amex is not  economic for small purchases? Anyway,
    I know now what to do now - buy an iTunes gift card and enter the activation code to redeem and sign up. Sorted! Thanks Kappy for taking an interest in my query.

  • Why is the movie I bought from itune can not rewatch?

    I just bought my movie last night on itune, but it turns out can't be re-watch again? Every time I tried to click the play button on the introduction cover, it jumped to the player then jump back to the introduction with cover, why is that? Is it can't be re-watch again? I've payed the full price!

    You own it. You can watch it a million times if you want to do so. The videos app is misbehaving. Try this first.
    Quit the videos app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why do I have so much trouble signing-in to Itunes?

    Everytime I try to sign-in to ITunes, I always get the error that my ID/Password are incorrect. I wrote them down when I had trouble the last time but still cannot log-in to ITunes.
    If I click Forgot Password then the button for answering security questions, when it asks for my date of birth, when I put that in it is wrong. Geeeze!!! I ought to know when I was born and why would I enter something different?
    Getting so I don't want to mess with ITunes or Apple, period!!

    Here's an update on my post.
    When I click on my ITunes short cut, I get a window that says
    I have no idea why I'm getting this error as I have not inserted a disc in my computer for months. I haven't created any playlists, nor have I purchased anything as I'm always denied.
    In addition, when I am logged-in to the store (I'm assuming I am logged-in as my email address is reflected on the top left), when I select a song, then click Buy, I get the following error
    I'm at a total loss as to why I am unable to do anything in ITunes, either through my desktop or IPhone. Quite obviously I don't have a network problem as I have to be on-line to even get into the ITunes store.
    At this point, I'm convinced that ITunes doesn't want my money and am at the point that I'll just forget Apple and ITunes and try my luck elsewhere.
    FYI. I have used two emails, and created 2-3 IDs/passwords trying to get into ITunes and buy something.
