    If iTunes asks me to "Sign In To Use This Computer for Automatic Downloads” one more time, my iMac is going out the window. :mad:

    Yeah, it's a bug to do with cookie settings.

    Do you have "block cookies - always" enabled in Safari > Preferences > Security?

    Try clearing cookies and see if that helps.

    How often does this happen?

    Why do Safari settings affect iTunes?

    It happens every time I start iTunes.
    It gives me the prompt box.
    Twice. :(

    I cleared cookies in Safari. Didn’t change anything.

    I suspect I need to wait for a bugfix.

    FTS:mad:
    They have 2 weeks before I move all my music over to something else.

    iTunes uses Safari to store its cookies. Not experiencing this myself. But I have experienced problems like this in past, so I'm assuming it's cookie related. Do you have any third party applications or Safari extensions installed that might be messing with cookies? Adblockers, crappy maintenance/"cleaning" apps, etc?

    no I dont.

    I was looking on Google and it seems I’m not alone.
    (Lion/Latest Safari/Latest iTunes)


    Weird one.

    Try logging out of the iTunes Store, restarting iTunes and then logging back in.

    Try and use something other than Safari like Chrome?
