iTunes is constantly asking for password, why?

[kschueleraugsburg]

I've recently upgraded to OS 3.2.2
It appears that ever since that upgrade, a window pops up very frequently with iTunes-Password request for my itunes account.

This was not the case before, and I am wondering if there is a setting that got screwed during the upgrade that would cause this.
How can I prevent iTunes from requesting a password all the time, even when I'm doing something totally different (like checking email).

Thanks for some help!

Best,
Kai

Trust me this is a good thing. I have a friend that was ripped off over $800 purchases in iTunes.

And they DID ask for password. iTunes DO NOT give back your money either. No matter how long you bitch.

Keep it.

I missd this! Even when you checked your mail? Now, that is interesting...

I've always had to enter my iTunes password when i do anything...since iPod touch 1. That isn't anything new.

Well, for me it was the first time when I upgraded to 3.2.2

Before, it would only ask for password when I was in App Store or iTunes Store, and was going to purchase something.

Now, every so often, the stupid window pops up. I can't be the only one where this is happening, can I?

Hopefully someone knows of a fix for this.

If it pops up randomly, even when you are not purchasing something through iTunes, The App Store or iBooks, then I have to ask... are you jailbroken? This sure sounds like spam to me. If it was me, I would immediately perform a complete restore of your iPad.

Not jailbroken, and no intention to do this.

I just found what very likely the solution to this problem.

Called Apple Care, and after a few checks they suspected something was odd with the iTunes account. Turns out, there was a song that I tried to download same day like the upgrade, but didn't complete. That song was "stuck" in the download list. Therefore, iTunes was constantly trying to complete that download - makes sense I guess!!!

We learn something new each day.
