Can you stop the 'Sign in to use this computer for automatic downloads' window appearing at iTunes launch?

Whenever I start iTunes, two windows appear, one after the other, asking me to sign in to use the computer for automatic downloads. Even if I cancel both windows and don't sign in, automatic downloads are still enabled, as they are if I sign in on one or two of the popups. So, to the point, is there any way of disabling these windows at the start-up of iTunes? - they're useless and slow me down xD.
Incase you need it, I'm running a Lenovo G570 laptop on Windows 7 64-bit @ 3.10Ghz with 6GB RAM.
Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing the same issue as well with the most current update of iTunes (10.5.3).
What makes this even more of an issue is whenever I have to do this, iTunes Match starts syncing, but never completes, so the only way for me to see my iCloud synced music is to turn off iTunes Match, turn it back on, re-log in again, then it finally shows up about 30 seconds or so later.  With each quit and re-launch of iTunes, I have to go through this whole process again to get my synced music to show.

  • ITunes is repeatedly asking me to 'Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads'.  How do I fix this?

    I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and using iTunes v. 12.0.1.26.  Whenever I open iTunes after initially asking for my password  ('Sign-in Required'), it repeatedly asks me to 'Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads'.  No matter how many times I enter the correct password it keeps popping up until I hit cancel at least 4 times.  Additionally, now when I attempt to make a purchase in the iTunes store it does the same thing preventing me from purchasing anything.  It repeats the 'Sign In to the iTunes Store' log-in prompt and no matter how many times I enter my CORRECT password it will not accept it.  Why is iTunes doing this and how can I fix it?

    I have this same problem and it drives me crazy. I've posted a topic about this, with no replies. In my case I'm pretty sure it's because in iTunes Preferences/Store/Automatic Downloads, I have Music-Apps-Books checked.
    But this is what happens to me everytime I open iTunes:
    Automatic Downloads password window pops up / I put in password
    Immediately again, password window pops up / I put in password
    Now I'm fine until I close iTunes and open again
    If I don't feel like putting my password in two times and cancel, if you cancel the window 3 times, it goes away.
    What I don't understand:
    Why isn't the Automatic Downloads password stored in Keychain
    Why does it ask for the password two times

  • Just installed iOS5 and iCloud on iPod Touch, and in Settings, I can't get the on/off switch to stay on for Automatic Downloads.

    I just installed iOS5 and iCloud on 4th gen iPod Touch. All is well EXCEPT that I can't get the on/off switch in "Settings" to stay on for automatic downloads of music and apps. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I missing some previous set-up step?
    Thanks for your help.

    to enable icloud you tap "settings" -> "icloud". Make sure you sign in with a valid iCloud Apple-ID. Then you can turn on the various features that are part of iCloud.
    Video or Music Syncing is not a feature of it.  Instead you use itunes in the cloud which let's you re-download purchases. This however depends if the service is available in your country.
    Worldwide only purchased books and apps are supported for free-of-charge-redownload on your devices.

  • ITunes Sign In To Use This Computer / iTunes crashes / iTunes restarts

    I have been having this problem on and off for a very long time now, through at least one major update of the iTunes software. I recently purchased an album from the iTunes store and the problem has returned. I've searched the forums for advice and got a lot of very weird advice. None of it helped.
    The problem is: when I start my MacBook Pro (12 months old, all OS patches installed 10.7.3), iTunes 10.6 starts then request that I "Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads." iTunes does not recognize my password; displays a slightly different dialog screen that says "Sign In Required," then back to "Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads," which repeats and repeats then switches to the other dialog "Sign In Required," then back to "Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads," et cetera. If you cancel out, which it accepts after hitting cancel three times, then navigate to the iTunes Store, the iTunes Store starts to load, then iTunes crashes, asks you if you want to send a report to Apple (I've personally sent at least a 100 of these already), then iTunes restarts. You can't kill it - if you force quit, it restarts immediately.
    Any suggestions other than Authorizing / Deauthorizing / Deleting the SC Info Folder?

    I have this same problem iMac Lion 10.7.3, iTunes 10.6.1(7). Any ideas what I can do to stop it?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

    Try putting it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Then with it in this mode connect it to the PC and try to run the latest iPod updater to do a restore and update software if you have the option. the latest iPod updater is 2006-03-23 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

    when i attach my iphone 4 with computer it shows one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it,now what can i do ..plz help me

    I would first try unplugging All the USB devices plugged into your computer, and then plug back in just the iPhone and see if that is recognized.  Also, do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed on your PC, as you need to?
    Hope this helps

    I checked the cable. It surely is not the cable. If I connect the iPod again it works fine. If I use the same cable with my pc and ipad at work or my other son’s laptop, it is working perfectly. It is only on my laptop where the iPod was connected. Something tells me it got something to do with the drivers that went corrupt or something when I connected the iPod.
    I searched the internet and I see a lot of people gets this message. Still no solved answers yet. Is there a place where I can download the drivers again or any other suggestions?
    Windows 7 and iPad 2

    As I said above, some of the new lightning cables have been known to be causing problems for some users.  Have it replaced if at all possible by bringing it into your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.
