Repeated Requests to "Sign in to the iTunes Store"

I haven't been able to log in to the iTunes store via desktop (Mac) for about two weeks now.
I can log in to iCloud and to web mail, as well as the iTunes store on my iPad and iPhone, without problem. I can also sign in to view my account in the desktop
and successfully make use of iTunes Match.
I cannot, however, make new purchases or download free items. I do not get an error message. I simply get the "Sign in to the iTunes Store" box over and over again each time I enter my (correct) password.
Since I can do all of the other stuff, it's clearly not a password problem. I reset my password anyway. No change.
This occurs on my computer as well as that of a co-worker -- so it's not my computer -- and my co-worker, on the same network, can sign in and make purchases, so it's not the network.
I wrote iTunes Store support but was directed to an article (this one http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368) that doesn't really address my situation.
Anyone else having this problem? Discovered a solution?
Thanks,
Byron C Mayes

It's an issue with 11.0.3...
Under investigation.

  • ITunes Match on Windows 7 64 iTunes 10.5.2 64 -  - please sign in again itunes match has encountered an error. Please choose sign out and then sign in from the itunes store menu and try again.

    Windows 7 64 itunes 10.5.2 64 - I receive the following error message when opening iTunes - please sign in again itunes match has encountered an error. Please choose sign out and then sign in from the itunes store menu and try again.
    When I try to sign out iTunes freezes and I need to shut down windows entirely to get it to open again.
    Has anybody been able to resolve this issue?

    After many annoying sign-in-out-iTunes-match-activation problems I found an easy solution for me. When the iTunes Cloud symbol is broken (and I should sign in again) I just deactivate my notebooks (Windows 7) Wifi (with Fn+F5 for my Thinkpad).Then I call up the Itunes store and iTunes tells my that there is no connection to the internet (most probaply this step is not necessesary). After manual re-activation of my Wifi iTunes seems to re-establish the connection and the Cloud symbol signalizes that iTunes match does work, again.
    Hope, this helps.

  • Is it true that After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store or did I just receive a phishing email?

    I just received the following email.....Is this legit? Makes no sense.
    Dear iTunes Customer,
    Our records indicate that you have been using your AOL Username to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.
    After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. In order to continue using store features, including the ability to access your previously purchased content, you must transition from signing in with your AOL Username to signing in with an Apple ID.
    To make this transition, simply sign in once more with your AOL Username to iTunes on your Mac or PC. You will automatically be taken through a few short steps to complete the process.
    When the process is complete, your new Apple ID will allow you to continue to purchase and download music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, and more. Additionally, your Apple ID will allow you to access other Apple services, such as iCloud and the Apple Online Store.
    This transition does not affect any AOL services you may be using with your AOL Username.
    AOL Usernames which have not been transitioned to Apple ID will permanently lose access to the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store after March 30, 2015. Apple will be unable to provide support for AOL Usernames which are not transitioned by this date.
    To learn more about this transition, visit support.apple.com/kb/HT204268.

    The iTunes Store team

    The link that appears in the copy in the OP does not go to an Apple site, it is something to the effect of newitunes.com, whereas the text tells you it is an Apple support document.
    However, if you take the text of the support document listed, I put it in my browser and it does lead to a legit Apple Support document about coverting. Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support  Seems this needs to be done by March 31, 2015, as AOL will no longer allow users to use their AOL identification.

  • I can sign on to the iTunes store using my ID but when I want to check my billing information (to change the existing info) it wont accept my password? What do I do?

    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

    You can log out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap 'sign out' on the popup - you can then sign in with your account/
    If you synced any of your mum's apps to the iPad from your her computer then they will be tied to her account, so only her account will be able to download updates to her apps

  • ITunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the iTunes Store menu and try again.

    this happens every week!!!
    iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the iTunes Store menu and try again.

    I have Just upgraded my mac from Itunes 11.0 to itunes 11.02, this issue occured within hours of the updated.
    It seems to occur about every couple of hours for me, I can still access the apple store, but music match just dies with the message: "iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the Store menu and try again."
    As it takes a good ten minuites for itunes
    If this is also occuring in Itunes 11, the previous Discussions are probably not relevant.
    Itunes 11 has had significant changes applied, so it would be reasoble to assume this is not the same fault and Apple have some how broken Itunes again.
    I might try to downgrade to itunes 11.0, as it looks like music match faults are not high on apples priorities, it looks like took them almost a year to fix this fault last time it occured.

  • Is the Requests feature still active, on the iTunes Store - ?

    Hi there, everyone.
    I’m curious to know if the Movie/album request feature is still on the iTunes Store … ?
    I’m wondering, because I was trying to find Guilermo Del Toro film, The Devil’s Backbone on the UK Store: and couldn’t find it.   I wanted to put in a request for it: but couldn’t find the feature.
    HELP!!

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Of course, putting in a request doesn't mean that the owners of the content will be willing to grant Apple a license. putting in the request certainly won't hurt.
    Regards.

  • Im connected to the internet, but I am unable to update my phone or sign in to the itunes store

    I received an error which says The iPhone software server could not be contacted. It says to make sure network settings are correct and your connection is active, and try again later. I'm connected to the Internet, but I am unable to update my phone or sign in to the iTunes store. Please help I have tried everything.

    I have the exact same issue.  Started happening about the time iOS 5 was available.  Thought it was just server overload with everyone trying to download it at once but it has been well over a week now.  iTunes Support responded with a form letter response with links to solutions that I said I tried in my original email.  Need to make sure my Amazon Downloader app still works if Apple doesn't want my money.

  • I cannot Sign in to the iTunes Store

    I went to sign in to iTunes today and it will not happen. I have the latest verision of iTunes as of right now (11.0.2) and I am using Windows 7 on a laptop.
    I can get to the store, but after I type the information in I get two errors.
    We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unkown error occured (-50).
    There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.
    We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established.
    There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.
    I have never had a problem with iTunes like this before and the same two errors are occuring on both of my computers.
    I have looked up some information online and have tried a few things, including disabling my antivirus. None of it worked.
    Any suggestions?

    It's not a Windows problem. I'm using a Macbook Pro, Intel Core i5,  OS X 10.7.5
    I've noted that itunes has for some time failed to automatically download TV shows that I have purchased as a season. New things come spontaneously only rarely, and when I "check for available downloads" I get nothing, but if I manually look the show up, episodes are nevertheless available to download. This problem above however, is more severe and I have only seen this today ( April 16, 2013).
