ITunes 6.0.1.3 keeps asking me to authorize

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 with all the latest patches.
Every time I reboot my system, iTunes 6.0.1.3 asks me to authorize before I can play my purchased music. This does not result in my # of authorized machines going up, but it is getting irritating that I have to reauthorize.
I already emailed iTunes support and they were unable to offer any suggestions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My e-mail has changed, but I purchashed some songs in iTunes using my old e-mail address as my account name... so when I try to play the sonngs I bought and paid for - it keeps asking me to authorize my PC first, but I don't remember the password! And since the old e-mail address is no longer active, I can't even chenge the password- becasue it's sends the link to do so via e-mail! Even when I use the "ask personal questions" option to verify and it asks me for my date of birth, I put it in and it still won't acccept.

I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

To avoid that I would recommend deleting the folder first the copying won't be an issue or deleting all the files in the directory. I know this is an extra step but just like the warning on plastic bags someone somewhere did something they shouldn't have
Sorry, I have been there.
So generally it will ask you if you want to do this for X number of files
IT SHOULD ASK ONCE AND ONLY ONCE
I SAY YES AND GO AWAY AND I HAVE TO COME BACK AND HIT YES AGAIN

All content from iTunes is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, and it can't currently be transferred to a different account. If you don't know the account's password nor it's security questions (http://iforgot.apple.com), then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Itunes 10.5.3: store keeps asking for password

Just updated iTunes to 10.5.3. Now the iTunes Store keeps asking for my password repeatedly. Is this a known bug?

Have you used more than one AppleID with iTunes on this computer? If you have, you might just need to authorize the computer with the correct account.
If you hvaen't used another AppleID, check out this Apple article -> iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Itunes on my McBook Pro keeps asking me the password and I cannot get access to the account

Hello,
I need to change my account payment information but I cannot connect to my account from the itunes of my MacBook Pro because it keeps asking the password even if it is correct.
How can I solve this?
Thanks for the help,
Daniele Reghellin

Oh reghe, I'm sincerely sorry that my workaround didn't work for you. Thank you for your appreciation. That's most kind of you, considering the sadness that we both feel about now. There is an old Japanese proverb that seems fitting here, "Fall down seven times, get up eight".
Nonetheless, I assure you, reghe, the very same fix has worked time & again for myself & for many others too. It's really not even a fix, it's just routine maintenance & the 3 steps that I gave you to do with Disc Utility have been safely done by thousands upon thousands of people over the years. Anyone can do those 3 steps in Safe Mode or in Regular Mode. I just prefer Safe Mode because it prevents any possible interference from anything 3rd party (meaning not from Apple).
Since you asked, when you startup your computer & hold down the shift key until there's nothing left to do besides sign-in, it will show ‘Safe Boot’ in red, right there on your sign-in screen. Then you can do the maintenance w/Disc Utility, restart into Regular Mode & go. Remember that in cases such as this I believe that signing into the ASC first yields a cookie from Apple in your browser (such as the one identifying this discussion) which helps you sign into other things Apple such as iTunes.
I'm really trying not to go on & on as I know you asked for brevity, but the 3 steps with Disc Utility that I outlined for you are actually considered routine maintenance (in either Mode) & have a history of being recommended after each & every update of Apple's software. I'm not sure why it did not work but it may be related to running Mavericks rather than Snow Leopard as your post stated.
I think it would be best for you to start another thread & simply ask the very same question. Someone with more expertise than I will see it & help you. Finally, reghe, I am 100% positive that my recommendations did no harm.
As you can imagine, things are extremely busy right now here at the ASC because of the recent releases of iPhone 6 and iOS 8; however, another ASC Member will help you; we are volunteers; but we are legion.
Best Regards,
mm

My itunes won't install but keeps asking for a CD or DVD i don't have, My itunes won't install but keeps asking for a CD or DVD i don't have

Trying to update iTunes.
It downloades OK but when installing it ask for a CD or DVD that I don't have. I have been updating for several years with no problems
I updated the software on the iPod touch and now it won't work with the version iTunes i have which is only 3 months old.
I an very upset with APPLE's Support system, It is not very helpful!

What's the precise text of your error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

After the latest iTunes update, why does it keep asking me to enter my password to check for downloads?

After the latest iTunes upgrade, every time you open up iTunes, a window pops up asking you to sign in with your Apple ID to check for available downloads? Why is it asking this if your account is already stored on the computer? How do you stop this from asking each time? Thanks.
