Signing in to iTunes. I am asked to sign in two times in a row, every time. Is this the new normal? Can this be changed somewhere in preferences? Thank you.
Why am I asked to sign in to the iTunes store every time I open the iTunes app? I have not signed out and I am forced to sign in two times, every time. Why is once not enough? Is there something wrong with my computer or my iTunes app? I live alone and I am the only person that uses this computer. Which is, by the way, a 2011 MacBook Pro 13". Any comments or advice are appreciated. Thank you.

I am new to iMac and thinking about subscribing to itunes match. Is it worthwhile and if I want to still store music on the iMac in iTunes am I able to still do this even if I do not renew the subscription in a years time. Thank you for your help.
See this page from the Apple web site for more information: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

Oh and also, I have set up 4 user log ins one for each member of the family will the same itunes library be used by each person in their own log in or will they have to have their own match subscriptions?
A computer can be associated to only one Apple ID at a time. Multiple Users on the same computer cannot use iTunes Match, automatic downloads, or re-download content from the iTunes Store at the same time: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.

My iPad Mini iOS7 is showing only Apple Logo which happened during software update. I tried to restore using iTunes but it asking me to response from iPad. But my ipad only shows apple logo. How can i response? How to solve this problem?
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary. -
I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

Macbook Pro requires me to sign on two times
Hello My brand-new Macbook Pro is requiring me to sign on two times after it has been on standby (shut down) for more than a couple of hours. It is really annoying. I bought it in December of 2014 (Black Friday) and as soon as I opened it and connected to my wifi it asked me to download the more current operating system. (Forgive me for not knowing the specific name, I am new to the Apple computer family.) Ever since it has been asking for me to sign on two separate times, and the second time it lags and I cannot type in my password immediately. Help me! I love my Macbook Pro but this is very frustrating.
They are very good. I use them when in Vancouver. Alternatively, reinstall OS X from scratch:
Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -

Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks
While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized) -

After virus problem which would not let all parts of the browser page open, I downloaded Firefox from another browser and opened it to install.
Firefox now asks permission to open each time I click the icon. I have shut off the computer and on several times. I then re-installed the browser but still it asks permission to open.
It seems to work again but can I get rid of opening permission request please? I may have 2 versions of the browser in the computer or the new program did not replace the old?
If I uninstall the program will I lose my bookmarks? Please can you help?Mozilla Firefox stores all your personal settings, such as bookmarks, passwords and extensions, in a profile folder on your computer

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you. -
I just bought a ipod touch. I am unable to use it because itunes tells me I have no internet connection (unknown error 306). I have tried all the suggestions I can find, including checking the firewall, the no proxy server is checked, resetting cache on itunes, I even scanned the computer with Registry Easy but nothing worked. I use Mozilla Firefox and have a PC with Windows 7. Obviously, buying a ipod and being unable to use it for 3 days (and counting) because I am unable to register it, is pretty frustrating. Can anyone help?
Did you try all of this:
iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Access iTunes preferences:
On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Parental Controls tab.
Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.
For more information on other security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues. -

ITunes 12 keeps asking for repeated Login several times a day
Hello All,
ever since upgrading to Yosemite last year on my Mac-Mini.
iTunes asks me to Login every time I Boot-Up, and then repeatedly several times throughout the day!
And these Logins always have to be done twice each time. (The Pop-Up window takes my password, then Pops-Up again empty so I have to write it again!).
This is really starting to get on my nerves.
Is there anyway I can Login to iTunes & stay logged in, like all my other apps? (i.e. iCloud etc.).
Thank you in advance for any suggestions on remedying this annoying situation!
Much appreciated!!!Hi all,
this is continuing to happen, but a little bit of an update. I tried a couple of fixes mentioned in the thread that discussed having the iTunes Store app crash.
1) Checking the cookies settings in Safari - mine was set to the recommended setting
2) Launching iTunes, then tapping the "Store" button
My issue seems to be in actuallu connecting to my iTunes account, which seems a common factor in some of the posts here.
I have verified that I am logged into Game Center, that I am logged into iCloud and that I am logged into the Store via the settings app. However, it often asks me to log in again. Sometimes twice in a row. I have seen error messages "Can't Connect, try again?" and seen it accept the entry and disapear.
Any suggestions will be DEEPLY appreaciated. Thank you! -
my family all shares one apple ID for iTunes so we can share music. but I have my own apple ID for my phone and ipad. on my phone, I can have two separate IDs, but I'm wondering if its the same for my macbook pro. If i download the new OS, it asks for my apple ID. I would like to put in my personal one so that i can get texts and such. but I would want my iTunes to be my family account. is this possible?
You can use one account with iTunes on your Mac, and different account(s) with the Mac App Store (for buying/downloads apps or OS updates for your Mac), iCloud (System Preferences > iCloud) and Messages (Messages > Preferences, or command-comma)
