Why do i have to log into iTunes match repeatedly?

I have about four devices synced with iTunes match. Almost every time I log into my computer I have to sign out, sign in, enable iTunes match again. Over and over and over and over again...
I love iTunes match but I dont understand why I have to enable it so much if it's already been enabled multiple times. The only device I dont have to sign in a lot on is my iPhone, but I use that almost every day with match, but any computer I might use 2 or 3 times a week. It seems to have to do with the duration of time since I last used match. Either way it is quite annoying...

I'm on Windows 7 and using Itunes 10 (not planning on upgrading to 11 due to others complaints of more issues with 11)
I've had imatch for about 4-5 days and what I noticed is the 'greyed out/kicked out of imatch' issue only started when i tried to sync my ipod through itunes.   Since I did that, i seem to be getting the whole library greyed out, and the fix is to log out and log in again, start match again, and it goes through it's whole process just like when you first start with imatch.  It's time consuming.   But I wonder if the sync is what created the problem.  It didnt seem to happen before I did that and I read in other forums that syncing and imatch don't work too well together.
The other thing is I think it could be that once you've played songs from the cloud on your other cloud device, in my case iphone, then go back to the computer, this could also cause the kicked out effect.  I don't see why this should be how it acts, if all devices are using the same cloud, they should all run together seamlessly... but it doesn't seem to be the case.
The good thing is it always goes back to find the whole library even though I deleted some files from my HD (in process of upgrading all to 256 bitrate) so I am scrambling to get back the last few hundred files on my system.... because I just do not trust this whole cloud thing.  
Everybody needs to back up EVERYTHING.. ALL the time.
Imatch is a great concept if they could work out the bugs.

  • Why do I have to sign into iTunes every time I open iTunes?

  • Constant Re-Logging into iTunes Match

    I constantly have to relog into iTunes Match. Even when i do login all i see is grey download arrows. When I close iTunes and relaunch I will then get the download icons that work.  This is REALLY annoying and im starting to not like iTunes match very much.

    When I run diagnostics it tells me that a secure connection to iTunes is unsuccessful and not in safe mode and that I'm not an administrator
    Then you're probably not.
    but yet I'm the only person to have a user account on this laptop so therefore I am the administrator.
    Not necessarily, no. There is an account in Windows actually titled "administrator", distinct from your user account. Your user account may or may not have administrator privileges, depending on what was granted when the account was created.
    a secure connection to iTunes is unsuccessful
    That usually suggests some sort of firewall, privacy filter, or antivirus/antispyware utility is blocking the connection. This block may be in software on your laptop or in any router through which your Internet connection runs. From your description of your other problems, it definitely sounds like some sort of firewall to me.

  • HT203128 Why do i have to log into my account to play all my games now?  I never had to before!

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes today 4/9/15, I now have to log into my account to use any of my apps or programs on my iPad air 2.  I never had to do this before and it is a real pain!  What gives? 

    On the iPad, go to Settings > Game Center and make sure you are signed out.
    You may have to go through this about three times when playing games, after which the iPad will realize you do not intend to sign in to Game Center.

  • Why do I have to log into apple id when buying a new macbook?

    I just bought a macbook yesterday...
    And the apple employee asked me to log into my apple id on a random macbook that was displayed at the store.
    Why do they ask me for it?
    Thanks.

    Ask the store. I doubt if anyone here can answer your question. I have no clue why that would occur :)

  • HT4915 Why do I have to pay for iTunes Match subscription to delete songs I've previously purchased from iCloud?

    From the support article, it seems that I have to pay for an iTunes Match subscription in order to permanently delete songs from iCloud.  Is there a way to delete songs from iCloud without having iTunes Match?

    You don't have to sign up to iTunes Match to play your iTunes music purchases through the iPad's Music app (if you've synced or downloaded them to the app).  iTunes Match allows you to store your own music collection (e.g. copied from CDs, bought from other sites) in the cloud as well as the music that you've purchased from iTunes
    From http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
    With iTunes in the Cloud, the music you buy from the iTunes Store automatically appears on all your devices.1 And for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. iTunes Match is built right into iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iOS devices.2 It lets you store your entire collection in iCloud, even music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. When it’s in iCloud, it’s available on all your devices. So you can enjoy all your music anywhere, anytime — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV.

  • Why do I have to sign into iTunes (on my Mac) three consecutive times every time I open the app?

    Every time I launch iTunes on my Mac, it wants me to sign into my iTunes account. I get three consecutive dialogs asking for my password. The first two seem to be for "automatic downloads" and the third is "to use iTunes Radio". What can I do so that I don't have to sign in every time?

    Lion may have replaced files that partially made up your printer drivers. Either way, HP saw fit to make a new set of drivers specifically for 10.7 so you may want to use it simply to avoid any bugs tehy found.

  • Why do I have to log into CC every time I start my PC?

    I am the only one that uses my PC, I don't want to have to look up my lastpass password every morning when I log in. I have tried reinstalling, deleting folders in the Program Data folders etc and nothing works. Any assistance or update on an upcoming feature would be greatly appreciated. I find it funny that the Adobe website can keep me logged in weeks after signing in but the desktop application can't manage to do that.

    I don't have that problem.  This solution was posted by Rajshree in the Creative Cloud Forum.
    Rename the SLStore to SLStore.old from this Location
    Windows:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    Mac:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Once done please rename OOBE to OOBE.old from this Location
    Windows:

  • Why do the graphics change when I log into iTunes

    Why when I try to log into iTunes, do my graphics go crazy and I can't make anything out?  It only happens with the program iTunes, no other programs

  • I can log into iTunes on my iMac but it won accept the ID and PW on the Apple TV, why?'t

    I'm new to this also.  I can log into iTunes on my imac but the same ID and PW will not allow me to get on through Apple TV.  Why?

    It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
    You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
    TCP 123
    TCP 3689
    UDP 5353
    TCP 80
    TCP 4343
    TCP 53
    This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

    I have connected my ipad to my computer and logged into iTunes website. On my iPad to restore my my data Ipad I have chosen language, country then it asks you to connect with cable and log into iTunes, I have done that, but cannot find this other information I need to restore from the website. Can you help me please? the 2 replies, I thank you, but this has not helped with my problem.

    Your post is somewhat confusing. To restore your iPad you use the iTunes application on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in the left column of iTunes on your computer and select General in the right column. You should find the restore choice there.

    why do I have to log in all the time into iCloud every time in spite of clicking the "keep me logged in" box?

    It is amazing that Apple does nothing about this.  It used to work before but this function (keep me logged in) stopped working a couple of months ago.  Many people seem to have the same problem but Apple seems unable to solve their own problems...
