I vaguely recall that, in the past, I would go to Safari, turn OFF blocking cookies (which I always keep ON), and then going back to iTunes and try turning iTunes Match ON again (not sure why iTunes Match ever goes OFF, but it does). I also RESET Safari data OFTEN throughout the day with ALL boxes checked ON. I just enabled coolies in Safari and lo and behold, iTunes Match has accepted my credentials. Now is that just coincidence? It's so odd. But somehow, I feel there is a connection. iTunes does use WebKit (AFAIK), so maybe it shares some data with Safari?
