Hi,
Yesterday I successfully downloaded two tracks from iTunes after being required to change my password twice. Later I tried to buy a third track and the site will not accept my id/password. I've changed my password a third time (and received a confirmation email) but I still cannot login.

I hit upon the idea of sending myself a gift card of the track and that was successful, but now I have to log into iTunes to redeem it and the same old problem occurs.

Next I went to Apple Support and loaded my info to schedule a call, but it tells me my mobile phone number (which is my only phone number) is not valid, even when I try the international format.

I've been working on this for l.5 days and I'm pretty frustrated. Can anyone help?

Re-boot the computer and try again.
Would suggest you quit changing the password all the time.

Had that happen to me a couple days ago on the 3rd item purchase - all I had to do was quit iTunes, open it back up and it then worked.

I'd suggest updating iTunes - today an update has been released. One of the bug fixes:
"addresses an issue that may require you to log into the iTunes Store repeatedly"

I have noticed this as well. Even with the newest update.

I've also had problems. I have had to change my password four times.
