Thumbs down Is it a Store or a Data Mine

My Gawd have just spent half an hour downloading two songs. First of all 13 very large free down loads kept coming up. I have tried to dump these on numerous occasions but as Cisco Houston says "The Cat Came Back"

On top of that nine times out of ten it diverts me to an attempt to create 3 security questions to recover lost passwords. IOW quadruple the chances that the account could be compromised. If one actually answered the questions in the manner intended, it's three new tidbits for the data mine. Otherwise if I can't remember the password that I use with some frequency, what is the likelihood that I will remember all these other passwords that I never use?

I have an eMail account associated with my iTunes account. If I forget the password just eMail it there, forget all the crap.

I thought maybe the first page of entries was missing, wherein we begin to understand the antecedent situation.

Look when it was written. Might have had a few too many by then.

Funny thing is I knew what he was talking about. Tried to download a new pay app on my iPhone 5 for the first time yesterday and had to enter the security questions. I forgot the answers and had to reset them.

I hear you eMacMan. You forgot to rant about the sign in pop ups that come up every time I open iTunes and connect to the store.- one for each device. The ones that pop up just after you've put in a cd to import, walk away, come back and the import hasn't started because the sign in boxes popped up after you walked away.
And I still can't find a way to delete content that was downloaded that I don't want to keep, or that I don't want to finish downloading. Delete from library, it's back, downloading the next time I connect. Stop download, delete download, it's back the next time.
