Asking For Permission To Connect To iTunes.app

Why am I asked for permission for the iTunes.app to connect online every time I launch it? Is there a way to shut this off or do I have to endure this alert each and every time I launch iTunes. Most of the time I don't even want to go online but it still asks. I'm getting a little tired of it.

Perhaps try the following suggestion. (I've seen it work for Snow Leopard, too.)

  • Why oh why? Randomly asks for me to connect to iTunes and activate on bootu

    On my replacement phone, I'm still continuing to get the Connect to ITunes screen when I turn it on in the morning. I then have to reboot the phone to get it to come up correctly(The very reason I had to exchange my brand new one was that it would never get past that screen)
    Then I get the message that the phone is activated(I've activated it at least 3 times already!!)
    Does anyone know what causes this?

    I'm told that this happens on the first powerup after letting the battery drain all the way and then recharging. I can't say for certain that this is the case for me, but I, too, have had this happen about 3 times since I got my 3G, and it just happened to my wife last week for her first time. But neither of us can remember if this was after a full battery drain cycle.

  • Date reset on macbook pro, 5 pop up windows asking for permission, worried.

    I restarted by macbook pro this morning and was informed that the date had been reset to a date before Jan 1st 2008 (Sunday December 31, 2000) and I had five pop up windows appear asking for me to grant permission connections to these applications:
    nmbd
    mDNSResponder
    cups-id
    krb5kdc
    configd
    Has anyone had this happen to them? I'm not exactly sure what to do.

    Should I worry about nmbd and krb5kdc?
    Exactly the same thing has just happened to me... I restarted mac book pro, date was changed to 1 Jan 2008, and those 5 boxes popped asking for permission to connect.
    I did the same as brogroove: reset the date but I also allowed those connections.
    Everything works now but i am worried because "nmbd" and "krb5kdc" are listed as allowed connections in my firewall setting.
    Are they dangerous or normal programmes?
    They look out of place on the the allowed connections list as I easily recognise the other programmes eg. iTunes, Safari, etc.
    Can I delete them from the allowed connections or should I leave them?

  • System asking for permission for incoming connections

    When I restart my computer I get messages that ask if I want to allow incoming connections to programs such as qmaster and realplayer. I allow this. The message also says that I can change this in the firewall pane in system preferences. When I go there I see that both already allow incoming connections.
    Why is the system asking me each time when I've already said that it is allowed?

    I had the same problem for iTunes, Connect360 and Transmission. After reading many forum post and trying many things to no end this is what worked for me.
    NOTE THIS WORKED FOR ME, IT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU, DON'T BLAME ME.
    1. Log into an Admin account
    2. Go to the Firewall under the Security Pane in System Preferences and remove ALL programs listed under "Set access for specific services and applications." (you can try removing just the troublesome apps)
    3. Still in the Firewall tab, change setting to "Allow all incoming connections."
    4. In the Finder go to your Applications Folder and drag iTunes (or any other offending apps) to the trash and delete from the dock. *This SHOULD NOT delete your music, playlists, ratings or anything else, it did not on mine. But BACKUP if you want to be 100% sure*
    5. In the System Preferences, go to Accounts > Login Items and remove ItunesHelper.
    6. Restart your mac and log in as the Admin again.
    7. Download any apps you deleted, i.e. iTunes. Link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    8. Install the apps (don't open them after install)
    9. Go back into the firewall settings and change it back to "Set access for specific services and applications."
    10. Open iTunes and any other apps you reinstalled.
    11. Add iTunes back to the Dock.
    This should have fixed the problem, and iTunes should act like nothing ever happened...
    We still need to add iTunesHelper back to the Login Items.
    12. In the finder go to Applications, and right-click on iTunes, select "Show Package Contents.
    13.Open the System Preferences and go to Login Items under Accounts.
    14. Back in the finder (the iTunes Package Contents) go to Contents>Resources>iTunesHelper
    15. Drag iTunesHelper into the Login Items list.
    This worked for me. I don't think it ever asked for permission for iTunes. And I have only been asked once for the other programs that used to ask me everytime.
    Hope this helps you and everyone else with this problem.

  • After Updating My Mac Keeps Asking for Permission on Certain Apps

    Hi guys,
    I have this problem where my MBPr asks for permission repeatedly to allow one of my apps to access the internet after I updated to Yosemite (NOTE: I didn't have this problem on my previous versions of OS). It is listed on my firewall as allow incoming connections, and it doesn't make sense for me to have to keep allowing it.
    It is also the same case with the app that I have allowed access to use the accessibility feature of my mac. Every time I launch, I have to give permission even though it is already listed on my accessibility preference to have permission.
    This is what I have done to try to fix it but to no avail: Deleting the app from both of the allowed list and re-adding it again.
    I use this app all the time, and having to repeat this process over and over and over again becomes irritating. I would like to have my MBPr to not have to require to keep asking me this, can anyone help me?
    The app in particular is Steam.app
    Have a great one guys,
    Peace.

    Go to your Utilities folder and open Keychain Access. Follow the steps here: Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.

  • Why are all my apps asking for permission again?

    For some reason, the majority of my apps started asking for permission to use my photos, location, microphone or any other part of the system that requires permission upon first lunch. I did not do any system updates recently nor have I reset any warnings in the settings. Anybody else have this issue or know what could be causing it?

    You won't be charged for downloading free apps (or other free items), you will only get a temporary store holding charge ($1 or the approximate local equivalent) to check that the card details are correct and that the card is valid, which will disappear within a few days or so.
    But unless you used the instructions that I linked to in my previous reply when creating the account, then you won't be able to download anything (including free items) until you enter your card details.

  • I have a canon MX7600 multifunction printer. My security setting allow connection with the printer. If I disable the firewall it works fine. If the firewall is running I get a dialog box every time I print asking for permission. How do I fix this?

    I have a canon MX 7600 multifunction printer. Each  time I print I get a dialog box asking for permission to allow connections to the printer. This box stays on my screen for a few seconds, if I don't click allow I get a communication error which then requires me to delete the job and start over. I contacted Canon and proceeded with their suggestions to no avail. They now say it is an Apple issue. My security settings are set to allow connection to the canon printer. If I disable the firewall it works fine, once I enable the firewall the problem returns.  This issue is a royal pain. Any suggestions on how to fix it short of buying a new printer?

    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • How did the Amex App access my location without asking for permission first?

    I just downloaded the Amex App and started using it, put in my info and logged in. Checked balances and things then logged out. After going to my settings I noticed Amex was turned on under Location Sevices and that it had accessed my location earlier. It did not ask me if I allow or not when I was logging in the App earlier. This is the first time that my location was accessed without permission from any app or safari. I realize once you allow the permission it doesn't ask again, but in my case I just downloaded the app and used it the first time. Is this how some apps may do it, without permission?  I thought Apple was big on these kinds of things? 

    My apologies about the post but in the App there was a section where it did ask for permission. It's all good. Thanks

  • Weather Channel App will not Stop asking for Permission

    Device = BB Torch 9810
    Have installed/removed/re-installed Weather Channel App several times and it Constantly keeps asking for Permission (@ least 10 times a Day).
    Solution Please?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Some of these apps get pretty tricky, let's take it on!
    You will need to turn your radio off, so pick a time when you can be close to the home phone.
    Go click on the options icon>click on device> the scroll to Application Resource monitor turn it on
    and let it shut down streaming apps as well. Save and exit. We just set the first trap!
    No scroll up one to application management. Click to open and Under Applications select optional.
    Now make sure the you delete every instance of the Weather Channel there may be a group of several. Save and exit and open your browser .click>options select clear browsing data. Clear everything cookies pushed content, download list cache, and history. Click the back button twice and leave the browser. Turn your a radios back on. Let's if our trap works and  the app is pushing content to your phone.
    Let me know how it goes!

  • Firewall keeps asking for permission.

    Hi,
    I've enabled Firewall in OX 10.8 but everytime I open an application that can access the Internet, it keeps asking me that whether I want to allow permission the program to do or not. I checked Firewall in system preferences and it does have list of programs that I allowed to connect to Internet, so why it keeps asking everytime I open those programs?
    Thanks.

    Hi guys,
    I have the same problem and I just want to add my thoughts.
    Ok, fair enough, we don't need two firewalls.
    But here is the thing that concerns me. The issue for me is, this asking for permission didn't occur on my mac using mavericks and mountain lion. Why should it appear with Yosemite? I don't understand why it needs to ask for permission repeatedly when I have set the program to allow incoming connections from my firewall settings.
    It is also the same case with an app that I have allowed access to use the accessibility feature of my mac. Every time I launch, I have to give permission even though it is already listed on my accessibility preference to have permission. I use this app all the time, and having to repeat this process over and over and over again becomes irritating.
    As much as having two firewalls on at a time is not necessary, I believe it is even more not necessary for me have to go through the silly questions if I do chose to leave the firewall on (don't forget the accessibility) and have given permission to let these apps do what they do. To this, I vote that this issue should get some attention by mac and the community.
    Have a great one guys,
    Peace.

  • Firewall keeps constantly asking for permission

    Everytime I boot my Mac it keeps asking for incoming network pemission for the same applications.
    In the individual cases these are the following apps: Billings.app, Billings Server Admin.app, Daylite Server Admin.app, ScanSnap Manager.app.
    e.g.
    These applications are however, already listed in the firewall list, under system settings.
    e.g.
    Thanks and great if anyone could help me:
    1. Is this an indivudual problem in respect of the very programs?
    2. Could certificates be a relevant factor here? If so, what are possible solutions?
    2. How is it possible to reset the firewall settings via a terminal command or so and build it up from scratch, if this makes sense at all?

    Well, parts of those apps are
    1. Is this an indivudual problem in respect of the very programs?
    I think so. Especially if the apps concerned want to open non-standard ports for outside apps to connect to, and possibly they are choosing different ports each time. Contact the manufacturers to see if they have some support, forum etc.
    2. Could certificates be a relevant factor here? If so, what are possible solutions?
    I don't think so; there should be visible warnings about expired or invalid or non-existent certificates. You could check Console, All Messages. Note the time one of the apps asks for permission and see what messages appear at that time.
    2. How is it possible to reset the firewall settings via a terminal command or so and build it up from scratch, if this makes sense at all?
    I'm sure there is a way but I don't know it. If I find it I'll reply back with it.

    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
    The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

  • I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app, big problem with kids

    I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app or music in iTunes, big problem with kids. How do I enable

    To elaborate further, in those restrictions you can specify exactly what types of actions you would like to restrict.
    I think you'll find this accomplishes your objective.

    my iPad is disabled after entering many wrong passcodes by my kid, and is asking me now to connect to iTunes to get enabled again (unlocked), however when I connect to iTunes, it asks me to first unlock the iPad? what is the solution

    You need to place the device in recovery mode ...
    f you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
    Instructions for putting the device in recovery mode > iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present

  • I can't launch any downloaded applications!!! Don't ask for permission

    Normally/Before, when i download an app, i click to open, it will pop up a windows to ask me if i want to open it, for it's downloaded from the internet, i will allow it.
    But now, nothing pop up, and if i launch no matter which app downloaded from the net, the icon in the dock keep jumping and nothing happen.
    I think its certain a problem of permission. Here is what i have done:
    I repaired the disk permission;
    I installed the latest system and java update(though i don't know if its relevent);
    Check the file permission.
    I show the contents of the app package, i try to launch the "XXXX XXXXX" file directly under the file "MacOS". So it's terminal, says:
    Last login: Tue May  8 16:48:59 on console
    DXMB:~ DX$ /Volumes/ XXXXX\ XXXXX.app/Contents/MacOS/XXXX\XXXXXXX ; exit;
    -bash: /Volumes/XXXX XXXXX/XXXX XXXXX.app/Contents/MacOS/XXXX XXXXX: Operation not permitted
    logout
    [Opération terminée]
    I suppose the problem is simple, there is no longer the pop up window to ask for permission?
    What can i do?! I searched on the net, but found nothing.....
    Thanks!

    Thank u baltwo, I know a reinstallation will work out, but i really don't want to, so i come here to see your opinions
    Just a reinstall without erase my contents seems not impossible? and won't work?
