iPod Store won't remember my password

[Gav Mack]

I think you must be one of the lucky ones Gav Mack.

I have reset the dialog warnings, deauthorized - reauthorized computer and deleted itunes keychain access, but still have the same problem.

Have you tried repairing the disk permissions in disk utility?

Since I've had the same problem for a month or more, I asked the manager in an Apple Store. The answer: "It's a security feature. Apple changed it on purpose."

I doubt that. It's clearly a bug.

Finally, they fix this issue with 9.0.3.

Version 9.0.3:

Provides a number of important bug fixes, including:

* iTunes no longer ignores your "Remember password for purchases" setting.
* Addresses problems with syncing some Smart Playlists and Podcasts with iPod.
* Resolves a problem recognizing when iPod is connected.
* Addresses issues that affect stability and performance.

I'm so glad this was sorted out, the password issue was so annoying.

Yes, that's what an Apple Store manager told me. A case of "making up an answer when you don't know the answer."

The new iTunes update (a HUGE download) is supposed to have fixed this yet, but I have not yet tested it.

This is a huge PITA. But not only here. I have a podcast subscription that requires a password. Every two to three weeks I have to re-enter the damned password. What a pain!

I'm having a problem that I think is the same thing. I get most of my TV Shows from iTunes store and subscribe to seasons for some of it. Used to be I could get the shows to download automatically when they were available - now I have to click the "Check for Available Downloads" button every time - and it prompts me to type my iTunes store password twice. It never did this before the last month or so. Very annoying - feedback sent to Apple.
I'm thinking they created some kind of session timeout that's started to bite people.
