Itunes sign in won't go away
Whenever I open itunes I get a prompt to 'Sign in to use this computer for automatic downloads'. When I put in my ID and confirmed password, it leaves, and then prompts again like I've done nothing. If I cancel it...it leaves and then prompts again like nothing happened. I can't download itunes apps at all on my iMac and it's getting pretty frustrating to try to use itunes.
An older post said to login to your account within itunes; go to account information; then disable icloud and ping. Since I'm also on 10.6.8 there is no "disable iCloud" option. So this is what I did (and it worked) - from the Account page within iTunes Store (must be logged in):
1. Ping was already disabled/off
2. In the iTunes match section, I clicked "Learn More" then clicked "No thanks". Effectively turning off Match (it gets removed from the sidebar).
3. Under "Settings" I turned off "Recommendations and Ping Postings".
I don't know which step - #2 or #3 actually made that login prompt no longer appear, but it doesn't so I'm happy.
Also, I had already disabled "Download updates automatically" in system preferences (and that didn't fix the iTunes problem). Note that I had that disabled that before I updated to 10.6.8 and the 10.6.8 re-enabled it. Not related, just mentioning in case that box needs to be unchecked too.
Other things you can try are in this Reset Warnings tip in this iTunes Windows thread (I didn't try it since the above worked for me):

Itunes playlistless music won't go away
Hello,
Recently I switched the itunes I used to sync from Windows (Bootcamp) to OSX. I noticed in my library there was two of each song on my iphone (and my wife's ipod) So, I deleted all the music (by syncing no playlists) and looked at my phone and saw something peculiar: no playlists were on the phone but my entire music library was still there!
I can play the songs and they are taking up space on the iphone. I tried re-syncing with the old iTunes on Windows with no playlists and even though I pressed "erase and sync," the songs are still there.
So, basically there are songs on my iphone with no playlist that won't go away.
Note: I AM able to delete them manually by swiping the song and pressing delete, but I have 400+ songs! Not to mention three devices (iPhone, iPod, and iPad).
I was not able to find anyone with this problem on google. It's difficult to phrase this problem well.
Anyone else experienced this?

The iTunes Popup Screen Won't Go Away On My iPod. Help :c
There's an usb and the iTunes logo on my iPod and it won't go away. I've tried turning it off and back on but it still does it. Also, I've tried pluging it into my laptop and taking it out, as well as, "ejecting" manually on my iTunes window on my laptop, but nothing seems to work. Please Help Me Out. /:
I don't want to restore it...The screen is telling you to restore the iPod via iTunes. You have to do that.

ITunes Radio Ads won't go away!
My iTunes radio continues to play ads even though I have an iTunes Match subscription, which is enabled on all my devices. Just doesn't seem to recognise it. What's going on?!

My ipod is displaying the cord to the itunes app and won't go away
When I plug my ipod into my computer it has the cord going to iTunes logo and nothing happens. How do I get back to the menu screen?
The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Your iPod encountered an error.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software -
When updating my iphone with new software it came up on screen with the cable and itunes sign (which is what I should get when restoration has been completed) yet it is still saying restore. I have tried 3 times and the screen won't change. HELP!
If the sign does not go away it has not completed the restore. So you are incorrect when you say it "keeps completing the restore" if that message is still displayed.
Do you get an error message? If so, what is the error number? -
I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Plug Into Outlet Sign Won't Go Away!!! Help!
I am so frustrated. A few things happened before I plugged my Mini in.
1) I downloaded the new version of iTunes to my computer.
2) My brother and I put a bunch of new songs on my iTunes.
3) I plugged my Mini into my computer. It synced only some of the songs and said to sync all songs, I needed the newer version downloaded onto the iPod itself.
4) I clicked download and it downloaded when my Mini was plugged into the computer.
5) Then it said to plug the iPod into a wall charger and an icon showing the iPod charger being plugged into a wall outlet.
6) I plugged it in to a wall charger and it did nothing...just shows the same icon.
7) I bought a new wall charger (I thought the charger was bad) and it still does nothing and shows the same icon.
8) I have tried everything that I can (the R's that it will let me do)
9) When I plug the Mini into my computer, it won't recognize the iPod in iTunes or on my computer. My computer acts as if it doesn't exist and while the iPod is plugged into the computer...there is still that same stinking icon that won't go away.
I need help and I really hope that someone our there can help.
Thanks so much!!!I did some reading online about all the people who had the same problem, then went to Wal-mart, bought a Belkin car charger for $20, went out to my car and plugged it in. It updated in about 30 seconds. I then went back into the store and returned the car charger.
Just get a car charger, use it and return it. Easiest fix ever especially after a day of tearing my hair out when the wall charger didn't work. -
