Why do I have to constantly sign in to iTunes on every restart?

I have to constantly sign in to iTunes almost everytime I restart the app. As if I want to access the store. This has been going on now since Snow Leopard, now running Mountain Lion. Oh, still using iTunes 10.7. I refuse to update to 11.
I tried to reach out to Apple support and the rep had no clue.
Any thoughts from Appledom?
Thanks.

It requires a sign-in when it does a check for downloads from the store, and this happens when you open iTunes.  Try turning off the options for "check for available downloads" in your store settings.

    Why do I have to constantly relog my password when using this site?

    That's correct, regardless of browser used I could close my browser and not have to log in, but typically that only lasted for a few hours.  Something in the re-design seems to have made it such that you have to sign in each and every time to re-open your browser and come here.

  • Why do I have to turn on my wi-fi manually every time I log into my computer? Can't it just log in when I do?

    Why do I have to turn on my wi-fi manually every time I log into my computer? Can't it just log in when I do?

    Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    8. Reset the System Management Controller.
    9. Reset the PRAM.
    10. Reinstall OS X.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, we won't know why.
    Have you tried getting it enabled ? If not then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?

    Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
    We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
    It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
    The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
    Thanks for any suggestions you have.

    I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
    The computer just can't remember it.

  • HT201250 Why do i have to use the password for time capsule every time i start my computer

    Why do I have to use thr password for time capsuel every time I start my imac?

    With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
    Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it.  However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security.  The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password.  However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
    To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected.  So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)!

  • Why do I have to re-sign into Pogo games?

    Every day I have to re-sign into Pogo Games with my user name & password. I installed Firefox solely so I could play games on the site because IE is not compatible with needed Java version. I have saved the cookie and am able to go in & out during the day as long as I haven't shut down the computer. I know it's a minor issue but is there anything I can do to avoid it?

  • Why do I have my husband's songs in iTunes Match?

    I've just signed up for an iTunes Match account and now I can see all my husband's music in the Cloud.
    We have separate iTunes accounts and separate Apple IDs. The only thing I can think of is that we have at some stage shared our iTunes libraries - even though his Mac hasn't been on since I signed up to iTunes Match.
    This isn't exactly a problem (though I now have to trawl through all his weird music LOL) - but I AM curious as to why this happens. Any ideas?

    No - sorry, my bad, I wasn't clear.  I'm talking about tracks that I've never had in my library which he has in his. We have separate iTunes accounts (though they share the same credit card).
    I have only just (in the last 48 hours) signed up for an iTunes Match account.
    When I checked my music on the Mac in iTunes, I could see many tracks I've never had in my library but I know he does - such as the kids' music he uses for work.  The tracks all have the symbol beside them which indicates they're in the Cloud. I'm just puzzled that my iTunes account would know what he has in his library and make it available to me, when his computer is not even switched on!
    It's true that when we both have our Macs on, we share our respective iTunes libraries via the home wifi connection. Is iTunes somehow remembering that, even though we're not sharing at the time?
    Like I said, it's not really a problem (except of course now I have even more stuff to scroll through in my library LOL!) - but I'm confused.
    Thanks anyway!

  • Why do I have to click connect next to 802.1X every time?

    My certificates are trusted. My WPA Enterprise profile has the proper credentials. Ask to join new networks is checked. When I unplug my ethernet cable and use the wireless networking environment at my workplace, I'm always prompted to choose the network from a dialog that pops up. Whether I choose the network I always use or whether I cancel, my IP address gets self-assigned until I go into the Network prefpane and click "connect" next to 802.1X. Why do I have to do that every time?

    Open iTunes preferences and go to the Store pane, then uncheck everything, esp. the Always check for available downloads.
    oh yeah, VERY IMPORTANT... forgot to tell you that you have to be signed in to your itunes store account to make these changes, or to even see what the current settings are. If you are not signed in to your itunes account the whole pane will be dimmed and will show all boxes unchecked... HOWEVER, once you sign in to your account and open the store pane, you will be able to see the current settings AND the "Always check for available downloads box is checked by default.

  • HT203175 I have no problem signing on to iTunes my issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call. Has anyone had this problem and how do I fix it. Thanks

    I do not have a problem getting in the iTunes stores. My issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a pure virtual function call R6025. How can I solve this problem? Do I have to create a new account? Do I have to uninstall and re-install? Thanks

    Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate any input here.
    If someone from Adobe could GUARANTEE that this problem would go away if I
    purchased CS4, I would pony up the cash and do it. However, I'm skeptical
    about that because I just saw someone else post a message on the forum today
    who is running CS4 and getting the exact same runtime error as me.
    I'll try un-installing and re-installing as Admin, and if that doesn't work,
    maybe I can find a used copy of CS3.
    In the meantime, I'm also wondering if a Photoshop file can carry any sort
    of corrupt metadata inside it once it has errored out? Reason I ask is, I
    had to port all of my old PSD files to the new computer, and I only seem to
    be getting this error when I attempt to work on one of the files that
    previously got the runtime error when they were sitting on my XP machine.
    When I create new files from scratch on this new computer, they seem to be
    working just fine (at least, for now).
    If so, I would probably be smart to never open those troublesome
    "errored-out" files again.
