Confirmed the same as you. Only on the fourth time does it complete the sign in.

A real pain in the butt that Apple needs to fix. I see no reason to go through that issue every time.

I'm the same. 3 or 4 times once a day. I'm an iTunes Match subscriber so if I don't sign in, I can't listen to any of my music in the cloud. **** it.

MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) and iPhone 6.

Same here. No fix. Two sign-ins for automatic downloads, one to access the iTunes store, one for iTunes radio-- I don't even CARE about iTunes radio! Why is this being forced on the users?! I hate it when developers force you to do stuff because it benefits the Company, but not the user.

Sorry to hear we're both on the same page.

Frustrations arise after the first signin. No reason to have more then that.

Thanks for for the feedback.
