How to Stop iTunes Store Sign-In Pop Up Window?

I want to know how to stop the constant, annoying SIGN IN popup insisting that I login to the iTunes store.

It never used to come up. But now, there is this popup over and over demanding I sign in to the iTunes store. Even if I hit cancel, the window pops right back up. At a certain point, I can't even play my music because the iTunes player becomes frozen with this popup window on top!

I DON'T WANT TO SIGN IN TO the iTunes store! All I want to do is play my MP3 files locally using iTunes!

Can someone please walk me through--- EXACTLY--- how to stop this login popup window from appearing?

THANKS!

Hi,

Try changing settings, choose Music > Settings, then click General then uncheck Apple Music. You can uncheck ITunes Store if you don’t purchase.

Although you shouldn't have to, signing-in to the iTunes Store does not obligate you to buy anything. You might want to see:

Javaliga, did you hear Gregb? We DON'T WANT TO SIGN IN to the iTunes store. It's got nothing to do with wanting or not wanting to buy anything. We just don't want to be bugged by that sucking popup constantly asking us to login!

I've just been hassled 5 times by it just in the last couple minutes. Totally drives me crazy. Surveillance tech...

Hi there!

I am unsure if the issue has been resolved but here is the solution if not!

Once you select the apple icon in the top left of your screen you can select the force quit option. Then you will proceed from there to force quit iTunes, I guarantee this will get rid of the pop up!

Best!
