iTunes 6.0.2 special report: Continuously asking for proxy password
Some users report that iTunes 6.0.2 continuously asks for a proxy password when accessing the iTunes Music Store, neglecting to remember the password each time.
MacFixIt reader Steve writes:
"When trying to use the Mac version of iTunes behind the proxy server at my job, it repeatedly (and I mean repeatedly) asks me to log-in to the proxy. Even when "Remember Password" is turned on, the password must be entered sometimes 100 times just to load one page in the music store. With the Windows version behind the same proxy, this does not happen.
"I've discovered that iTunes literally *deletes* the key in my keychain for the proxy server when I try to connect to the music store. Every time I type my password in each dialog box, the key gets reestablished for a second and then is deleted again when the dialog reappears. I've watched this happen before my eyes with Keychain Access open."
