    Hi latinlounge,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that when using iTunes Match you are repeatedly prompted to authorize your computer and associate your computer with iTunes Match again.

     

    To begin the troubleshooting process, I would suggest reading over and working through the suggested steps in the attached article below. Once the repeated prompts for computer authorization issue has been resolved, test the iTunes Match association. Please let me know if the issues continue.

    Hi latinlounge,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    Thanks for the added information. It seems like the prompts to authorize your computer have stopped but you continue to be asked to add your computer for use with iTunes Match. 

     

    To continue troubleshooting, I would suggest logging out of iTunes on your Windows computer. After signing out, follow the steps from the Add a computer section in the attached article below to turn on iTunes Match again. After these steps, iTunes should start matching and uploading your library. Please let us know if the issue continues. 

     

    Add your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iTunes Match - Apple Support

     

    Best regards
