iTunes keeps wanting me to sign in

Ever since I updated the OS on my MacBook Pro to Big Sur 11.6. iTunes won't leave me alone. It keeps wanting me to sign in, over and over. How do I make it STOP?

Hello trudy999 and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty with repeated requests that you sign in to the iTunes Store since updating. Try this:


System Preferences > Apple ID > Media & Purchases > Account > Manage


Sign out, reboot the Mac and then sign back in in the same place.


Cheers.

Suggestion - sign into the Music App with the ID Associated with your iCloud account and password and be done with it. If it is not allowing this sign in - that would be another matter.


If the Application will not launch at all - try restarting in Safe Mode - Intel CPU - SHIFT immediately at restart. Safe Mode does behind the scenes maintain things and loads slowly - Normal.


Run this mode for 5 - 7 minutes and test the Music App if it launches or not.


To exit Safe Mode - just restart in normal method.

Actually, as P Phillips said, it is the music app, not iTunes that is the issue. I rarely do much with music on my Mac so I haven't kept up with the differences. But the problem only started since the update to Big Sur 11.6. Before that the app was happy. Now the icon keeps bouncing around on the taskbar and it is annoying. There are numerous windows asking me to sign.
