Out of the blue and weeks (if not months) after I installed iTunes 9.0.2 I started to get regular requests to provide my iTunes password, despite having checked the ‘remember’ box. Strangely, this didn’t
always happen, just most of the time and sometimes even more than once in a session. Lately this behavior has dropped markedly in frequency, but it still occurs once in a while.
Likewise, my Touch (1st gen) occasionally doesn’t register when connecting it to my Mac. This mostly happens when I hook it up sometime into an iTunes session
after having checked app updates and new apps. It requires a logout-login or a restart to get the Touch recognized again. I haven't had problems when connecting my Touch immediately after launching iTunes.
Lo and behold, here is iTunes 9.0.3,
apparently addressing these very same issues, which suggests they must have reached some critical mass. Since I haven’t seen anyone around here making noises about them, I wonder if any of you actually has experienced these issues. Hence the (rather unscientific) poll below.
The setup I experienced these problems with consists of a 20" iMac iSight (G5) running Mac OS 10.4.11 with all Apple software up to date. There may be a link with the OS version used, but that's not my main interest here.
