iTMS asks for password every time I open iTunes

I'm having the same trouble. Every time I launch iTunes 7.2 I'm forced to authenticate via the iTMS dialog box. All of my iTunes Plus d/l's are finally finished, so my Downloads folder should be empty.

I'll try the fix and report back.

No. Clearing all from iTunes Music's Downloads folder failed to stop the needless request for iTMS login.

Moving iTunes Music's Downloads folder to the the Desktop has failed to stop to the needless requests for iTMS authentication.

I'll try repairing Permissions.

Thank you for that sollution. I have been through several days of emailing with iTMS support, and they could not help me. I have posted a link on the norwegian Mac1 forum to this post. Excelent!

hopkapi,

It's the plist file in the Download folder that's the culprit.

I was having the constant password request problem and solved it by deleting the plist file as suggested by echobucket.

Before I deleted it, I opened it with Property List Editor and found that it contained a reference to one of my upgraded songs that had been problematic to download.

It took several days for this particular track to finally download. It did finally download but was left on the to do list in that preference file.

This little problem has just hit me now since iTunes 7.2, but the "list.plist" removal fix works perfectly. Many thanks for the help.

Thanks! Worked perfectly.

Thanks hopkapi, that was driving me crazy!

Cheers hopkapi. Been looking for a fix for a while.
