iTunes (vista) keeps asking for a username and password to connect to web.me.com

iTunes (vista) keeps asking for a username and password to connect to web.me.com (this has been a problem since before iCloud and I never had MobileMe) and then it asks for a username and password for e2982.c.akamaiedge.net - doesn't like my iTunes account username or password.

I think it happens when it tries to connect to iTunes store, but I can be in any page in iTunes and it will appear.

I have to press ESC to get rid of the dialogue box, so that iTunes wifi sync will work.

I've tried a proper uninstall (all apple components in order) - no luck.

Windows Vista

My current theory is that there must have been some problem with internet options. Unable to find anything to change, I have just uninstalled internet explorer 9.

Seems okay so far....

iTunes wifi sync seems less buggy too.

Time will tell. Will update if this has not solved the problem.

It was a nice idea! Wifi sync is better, but I still have the username password problem.

No longer asks for username/password for akamaiedge.net - only for web.me.com.

Oh, overnight Vista decided that it should update internet explorer for me again - haven't tested it again since it did the update.

So uninstall ie9, let auto update reinstall ie9 and it all seems to work without asking for a username or password. If I experience the problem again, I will repost. Otherwise fixed! Hope this helps someone!
