every time i go on my itunes the accessing itunes store message box pops up but it pops up constantly and its driving me insane it is making it impossible to search anything cause it just keeps popping up what do i do?
My mini (which "upgraded" itunes this weekend) is having the same problem, and I'm running into the same "feature" with itunes on win7x64 (which just upgraded to 10.2.1.1 this morning). It's not constant, but it pops up enough to interfere.
I'm going over to songbird. The itunes bloat and crappy performance coupled with this, this, whatever it is, has finally converted me to its better brethren.
I have the same problem on my MacBook... If I'm importing or trying to select music the only way I've found to stop that window is to turn off my airport connection... You can turn off all network settings in iTunes beyond that, but it won't help.
Okay: songbird ***** as bad as itunes. HOWEVER, deauthorizing and then reauthorizing the computer solved all the crap on both my windoze and mac boxes (under "store").
I've fixed mine! From a little help from an apple adviser.
You might want to clear your caches before doing this - under iTunes preferences.
Open iTunes - go to the top bar, click the 'Store' drop down menu >
Then click 'De-authorise this Computer' >
Enter your password etc >
Then click 'Store' again then click 'Re-authorise this Computer'>
Enter password etc>
Restart the Mac>
Open up iTunes should be fine - worked for me anyway
Okay, this might work if you can authorize the computer, but I'm on my work computer and I've already authorized for 5 machines. What do I do if I've reached my authorization limit?
I too have been experiencing that problem since around March 10 or 11. I get the message pop up constantly, everytime I slect a track or change platylists. If I try to create a new playlist, trhe message pops up beofre I can enter the playlist name and defaults to "untitled playlist". I am reading that a few of you went to deauthorize computer and thgen reauthorize computer and that correcteed the problem. Just looking to verify.
Your problem seems same as mine...I'm still hanging with that problem. And I can't find way to fix that. That pop-up is appear quite rapidly and really annoying me. When I click tune name, try to get tunes informations, try to rename tune, and try to select tune on MUSIC LIBRARY, that pop-up appear about per 1 second and it takes about 10 seconds to finishing access to iTunes store, during that time period, status bar is working. But wait their up and then somehow they are going to available to click, get informations, rename, select about 1 time per 3 times. But copying tune' name is almost impossible during worst situation. But edit information during that time there is nothing to keep me away. This issue may occur once a half hour. Once this is occur, this is going to take about 10 to 20 minuets. Depends on what I try to do, gross time in this issue change flexible really. I also look forward someone who able to fix this problem. Is there nobody get in same problem with iTunes 10.2.1(1) and Mac OS X 10.6.6 like us? And is there nobody able to fix this problem?
I'm running Windows 7 and have the exact same problem. "Accessing iTunes Store" pop-up window comes up immediately after opening iTunes and stays for 30-60 seconds where it then pops up again 3-4 times before going away. After this when I try to type anything longer than 1 character in the search bar on the top right of the screen it will come back up again and do the same thing. Annoying as **! I wasn't sure if the de-authorize/authorize solution would work for Windows 7. Anyone know?
-(48) songs in the library; (0) purchased through iTunes, all imported from owned CDs (nothing to authorize)
-Not "signed in"
-(48) songs moved to a folder on the desktop
-Select all (48) songs (cmd+a), Message "Accessing iTunes Store," Click, "Stop"
-Cmd+Delete and Move to Trash
-Quit iTunes
-Re-launch iTunes; no songs in the Music Library
-Click iTunes Store
-Search Store, and everything is fine...
I'm scared - is this deauthorise/reauthorise trick safe - under what circumstances could it have a side effect more significant than the problem that it is intended to solve.
