why is itunes asking for my password each time?

After a lot of pointless googling and going through every menu in iTunes here's what finally eliminated the issue:

Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > click the Reset button near the "iTunes Media folder location" box.

Not sure why or how this helped, but it did (at least for now). iTunes asked for the password one more time on next launch and has not been asking for it since.

The only solution I found so far isto not remove Safari"Apple.com" caches (Apple.com in Safari/Preferences/Privacy/Manage Website data) or to Clear History as well because it will clear caches too

Apple keeps iTunes login caches there. 😕

Do not ask why....

What are you doing on a iTunes for Mac thread? 😉

You should ask this question on iTunes for Windows then.

Good luck

Apple,

Please fix this Pain in the *&%* feature on itunes if you want to retain users. it is December and I still have to log in no less that 3 times to finally get itunes to let me use the software. If your experiencing a number of users dropping using Itunes. it is the reason why it's happening. it's fine if I want to purchase new music, but it a pain if I just want to listen to my music I've already paid for.

Thank you.

Is anyone at Apple reading this thread at all?

I also have to enter my password 3 times every time I launch iTunes. None of the solutions given in this thread help. This is annoying as ****, and people have been complaining about this since forever. Why has this not been fixed yet?

P.S. I am on a PC (Windows 7 x64), in case this is relevant.

"Is anyone at Apple reading this thread at all?" Nope...

I've been looking for a solution to this problem for years. I've tried everything on this thread and nothing works. I've read other threads and tried those solutions too... I'm tired of logging in 3 times every time I open iTunes.

karenfromsoulsbyville asked this question in 2011

Now is July 2017 and iTunes still asks so many times for the password

and same with the Apple Store : it's my computer!!!!

the one I used yesterday and still the same i'm using today

It's so annoying 😠 and BTW doesn't make our account safer

I checked in my prefs not to ask for the password but iTunes can't care less

Writing it the password so many times is not the way of doing it

Do you mean the iTunes on-line sotre? Each of the on-line stores wants confirmation of who you are before you download anything.

A little creative Googling led me to a response on another site that I just tried a few minutes ago - and at least so far as of this writing, I've successfully gone in and out of iTunes two or three times without receiving that annoying message - so looks like this fixed it.

...and the winning solution is: (drumroll.....)

In iTunes, select Preferences, then Advanced, and then click on the Reset Warnings button.

The first time you go back into iTunes after doing this, you will likely receive an introductory "welcome/tutorial" screen as if you had just installed the application for the first time. But other than that everything works file.

Sorry - looks like I spoke too soon. I just tried it again and I'm back to getting asked - twice - to sign in when I re-open iTunes. 😠

C'mon, Apple! TIME TO FIX THIS.

Try this

1. Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
2. Choose Go > Go to Folder.
3. Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
4. If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
5. Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
6. Restart the computer and open iTunes.

I tried that exactly as instructed and while I was hopeful as it "made changes" which required me to enter my password, unfortunately after restarting and going back into iTunes it still asked me for my password - twice - just as it always has.

Any other ideas?
