Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads

I have the same thing. In fact it makes me sign in TWICE. I enter my password, then the same login screen comes up again. And this happens every single time i open itunes since the 10.5.1.42 update...

Apparently signing out and back in again should fix it...

Didn't work for me either...

Open iTunes preferences and go to the Store pane, then uncheck everything, esp. the Always check for available downloads. 🙂

oh yeah, VERY IMPORTANT... forgot to tell you that you have to be signed in to your itunes store account to make these changes, or to even see what the current settings are. If you are not signed in to your itunes account the whole pane will be dimmed and will show all boxes unchecked... HOWEVER, once you sign in to your account and open the store pane, you will be able to see the current settings AND the "Always check for available downloads box is checked by default.

Try this: sign in to your iTunes account; at the bottom of the account page, where it says "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading", click on the "Reset" button; sign out of your account; restart iTunes to see if you still receive the message box about using the machine for automatic downloads. Additionally, if you now go to iTunes preferences, the check boxes on the store pane will be dimmed.

Wow! This seems to have worked. I'm impressed. Usually it takes a little while after I've closed iTunes, I come back and open it back up when it asks for my password again. It has been very frustrating to say the least that everytime I open iTunes it asks for a password. If this works (which I think it has) I thank you very much tatin! You Rock!

Whoops, I spoke too soon. This is still an issue.

Okay. Went into my iTunes account signed out, closed iTunes, opened iTunes back up then signed back into my account and this has worked. No more pop up asking for my password. Hope this works for everyone.

Well once again I spoke too soon. This is still a problem and is evidently an Apple problem that needs to be fixed in the next iTunes update.

I'm sorry it didn't solve your problem izzle22. It seems to have definitively fixed it for me but I had to do the reset on each of my two machines. I had the impression that I was resetting my entire account but doing it on one of my machines had no effect on the other. I had to do it separately on my other machine but the problem is now fixed on each of them. I guess it's necessary to do it on each machine which is authorized to download from the account.

Just started to get the same issue, tried signing out deauthorizing computer, check all prefernces, reset all waring in the my account of iTunes store, disabled all automatic setting of my iOS devices, still no luck.. I have iTunes 10.5.1 (42)

Same problem here. WIndow pops up and asks me sign in. I sign in. THen, another window appears asking me to sign in, so, I sign in again. None of boxes are checked for auto updates. Yet, it keeps asking me. Strange.
