Batch Monitor - incoming network connection

When I run Compressor i get the "Do you want the application "Batch Monitor.app" to accept incoming network connection. Whilst this is a common popup for lots of apps the problem with this one is that it only flicks onto the screen for about 3/25's of a second and then disappears only to keep on popping up in this manner.
It's very annoying. Does anyone know how to deal with this ?
In order to identify this I had to film the screen and then work my way through the footage frame by frame to isolate it.

Hardly that absurd. Compressor, for example, is designed to network with other instances across the network to distribute render processing...
If you're distributing an Export via Compressor from FCP, FCP is started on the networked computers to do local rendering...

  • Accept/Deny incoming network connection for apps already accepted/denied

    i am constantly getting the dialog box to allow/deny incoming network connections for applications that i launch on my MBPro, even though these programs have already been allowed or denied. this causes multiple entries for the same applications in my firewall advanced list. each time i accept or deny, a new entry of the same program is added to the list. as an example, for Excel i have 5 entries - 2 that allow incoming connections, 3 that deny. the same goes for apps like itunes, word, nleac, and others.
    if i delete these extra entries, they just get added to the next time i launch the program.
    i've tried the remedy suggested by the macfixit forum (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10330466-263.html) of deleting the firewall preference file "com.apple.alf.plist" and performing a disk permission under Safe Mode - didnt help.
    looking for new suggestions. incidently, this wasnt always the case and other than upgrading to snow leopard, i cant specifically recall a change that started this problem.

    i've been doing that for some time now, as this problem has been going on for months. even after i delete all of the programs that have multiple listings (and the key word there is ALL because basically every program that wants access has multiple listings here) the list gets re-populated the next/every time i launch that application. even if i later deny an application's request after accepting previously, they'll be multiple listings for that app - including listings to Allow and listings to Deny - for the the same app!!!

  • ITunes - Incoming network connections error message

    Hello,
    I am hoping some one can help me?
    I have a Mac and I keep get an error message appear when I open my ITunes.
    The error message reads " Do you want the application iTunes to accept incoming network connections".
    I have changed the security settings to accept incoming network connections but the error message keeps coming up.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks
    Gavin

    My father has a perfectly good working 17 inch MacBook Pro, running on 10.4.8 which is the most modern version it's allowed to run, plus running iTunes 9.x and have the same problem. It does get tiring clicking each time, it does get annoying not being able to use airplay because it blames the firewall, and It gets annoying entering the administrate access and password each time.
    When he selects the AirPort Express in question, that used to throw up the "not set in your firewall to allow AirPlay".
    Clicking the firewall preferences button is useless, as it's already been given permission to allow incoming Internet connection, and clicking ignore makes it either crash , stop working or be inactive.
    Turning firewall off to allow all connections defeats the point of having a firewall, but used to work most of the time, but doesn't seem to work now.
    This coincides with him suddenly not being able to browse the Internet streams through the old iTunes radio button, but the ones that he did safe to his personal playlists play fine and he can enter custom stream URLs fine. So something on apples side must be stopping the use of the old radio button that allows you to browse through various genres of Internet music streams.
    For the record there has been no iTunes or operating system updates for 10.4.8 for a couple of years now at the very least. So that is where our situation lies. A solution other than iTunes which no longer allows browsing.

  • Within Muse is it normal to get this message? "Do you want the application "Adobe Muse CC 2014.app" to accept incoming network connections?"

    Within Muse is it normal to get this message? "Do you want the application “Adobe Muse CC 2014.app” to accept incoming network connections? Clicking Deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security & Privacy preferences." I haven't got this one and I use most Adobe products. I updated Muse yesterday. Thanks!

    Hi Kay,
    I am glad it worked for you. We are always here to assist you. So you really don't have to worry about the issues with Muse

  • Every Time OS Asks If I Want To Let iTunes Accept Incoming Network Connection

    I believe since a recent upgrade ...
    Every time I book my computer and launch iTunes I get a message asking if I want the app to accept incoming network connections.
    I just hit Allow and the box goes away but this morning I figured I'd do what the box says and look at my System Preferences / Security & Privacy / Firewall settings.
    And it seems that iTunes is set to allow.
    Any ideas?
    I'm posting here in the Mavericks forum as I get the feeling this is an OS issue not iTunes but if people think I should post elsewhere please let me know.
    I'm running iTunes 12.1.0.50 and OS X 10.9.5 on an i3 iMac
    Thanks

    Hi Eric,
    If you are still listening ...
    I've been travelling and under the weather so am only just now getting back to this little issue.
    When I go to my home / Library / preferences I see a bunch of files but not the com.apple.systempreferences.plist you suggested.  (I had to do two screen shots as the list was bigger than my screen).
    And when I do a search in finder for the file the only thing that shows up is the email from this forum telling me of your reply.
    Could the file be called something else or hiding somewhere else?
    No big deal to click "Allow" every morning but ...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks again.
    Thanks

  • Keeps asking to accept incoming network connections for iTunes

    Why does OS X keep asking if I want the new iTunes to accept incoming network connections on every iTunes launch?
    1. It appears in the firewall, and is green lighted to accept incoming network connections.
    2. I have the checkbox to automatically allow signed software to accept connections.
    3. I have repaired permissions.
    4. I have re-downloaded and reinstalled the application.
    5. I am running the latest version of OS X with all updates installed.
    This should not be happening.

    I constanstly get the exact same nag message about allowing incomming connections, plus now iTunes just pops up all by itself, and I simply do not ever let anyone inside my firewall, period, including Apple, so they can spy on my info or software. The snooping scanel of the last couple of days has only underlined my decisions.
    I have denied them access in security/advanced.  I have turned off connect to apple for for song info. No Ping.
    I do however run DLNA across my wifi network using BubbleUp client so I can access my iTunes library via TiVo throughout the house, and have for the last year with no issues.   
    (During this message, itunes has launched, nagged and started playing music all by itself 3 times!)
    I tried a terminal command from another thread http://nerdramblings.tumblr.com/post/5637291886/fix-apple-firewall-asking-for-pe rmissions, which should have given me

    I have version of itunes 11.0.2 running in Snow Lep 10.6.8. and I run my iMac via wifi rather then ethernet, and have for 3 years.  This is all new in the last 3 weeks.  I'm happy with the version I have, with no interest in uninstall/reinstall or screwing around with the newest versions, which I really hate.
    I'm ok poking around in Terminal if that's the answer. otherwise, I'm off to WinAmp or DoubleTwist, though I'm open to other suggestions as well.
    Please excuse my angry tone, but I've had nothing but problems with this machine since I bought it, it's been to the shop once and reformmatted from scratch twice, and regard it as the second worst decision of my life.  The worst one was my first marriage

  • Firewall always asks for incoming network connections

    Some of my installed applications like Dropbox, Coda, Adium, jDownloader... are always asking if incoming network connections are allowed?
    How can I turn this off? It's getting really annoying!

    I'm having this problem, too. It happens with EVERYTHING, including Word, Excel, and Photoshop. I have my Firewall turned on, but I also have it set to allow those programs to accept incoming network connections.

  • Allow incoming network connects?

    Every time I launch iTunes a dialog box appears asking: "Do you want the application "iTunes.app" to accept incoming network connections?" I have a brand new MacBook AIr (Yosemite 10.10.2) with iTunes 12.1.0.50.
    I first what, or why, is iTunes making this request for a network connection? This is just a question to assuage my curiosity.
    More to the point, how do i get rid of this annoying request? I've tried both selections, allow and deny. I've tried going into the Securities & Privacy - Firewall Options and managed to change the iTunes setting to "Allow...", not an easy task as I had to remove the com.apple.alf.plist files from the library (a suggestion from another search on this question). With all these efforts dialog box keeps making the same request each time I launch iTunes.
    I appreciate your help with this very annoying issue.
    Cheers,
    Dan 

    Leaving the firewall on should not give you any comfort, because it's not protecting you from anything. That's a false sense of security, which is dangerous. Hackers are not going to magically reach through your router and steal your data, or if they are, the firewall won't stop them.
    But if you have a legitimate use for the firewall, which I doubt, see below.
    Please open the Security & Privacy preference pane and select the Firewall tab. Click the lock icon to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the button marked
              Firewall Options...
    In the sheet that opens, the box marked
              Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections
    should be checked.
    If the application that you're having trouble with is on the list above that checkbox and is blocked, change the setting to
              Allow incoming connections
    If the application is not on the list, add it with the same setting.
    If it's already on the list and already allowed, delete the entry, then add it back.
    Click OK. Test. If there's no change, ask for further instructions.

  • Incoming network connections message

    I keep getting this message every time I open iTune, "Do you want the application "iTunes.app" to accept incoming network connections? I have set accept in security preferences, what is it all about? Thanks Alex

    I have an even better solution for you. No uninstalling or re-downloading.
    In security (located in system preferences) Click the firewall tab followed by the advanced button down the bottom. Check all the applications you want are set to allow incoming connections. Close security preferences. Then open a finder window Navigate to -> Macintosh HD -> Library -> there will be a file called, com.apple.alf.plist delete it, reboot and your done. Deleting this small file re-builds the Firewall preferences and you will no longer be asked to accept incoming network connection every time you open an app. As long as the app your opening is on the list in the firewall tab your good to go Email me at [email protected] if this worked for you

  • Incoming network connections

    How do I get rid of "Do you want the application "iTunes.app" to accept incoming network connections?"
    every time I launch iTunes 10.1?

    My iTunes started the same thing after I changed its icon. I had to drag the iTunes application to the trash and reinstall it. Changing the icon back didn't work, reinstalling did.

  • "Allow incoming network connections" - why?

    I recently had to change from Tiger to Leopard and now, each time I launch iTunes, I get this message asking "Do you want to allow iTunes to accept incoming network connections?"
    What makes this worse - in the Security/Firewall pane, iTunes is already listed among the apps to allow this. So what's going on?

    Try this:
    1. Go to the Applications folder and drag iTunes to the Trash. Don’t worry, your music, videos, and entire media library are not affected and will still be there. Only the iTunes software will be uninstalled (though it's always wise to have a backup, particularly of your iTunes Store purchases or anything else that would be difficult/expensive to replace).
    2. Reboot or log out of your Mac. This step may or may not be necessary, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
    3. When you are logged back in, go to Apple’s website to download the latest version of iTunes if you haven't already..
    4. Install iTunes. Do not import any songs or videos if it prompts you to do so.
    All of your media should be right where you left it the first time your fresh installation of iTunes is opened. If you get another firewall popup asking to Allow or Deny incoming network connections, make your choice and that should be the last time you see it. Future iTunes launches shouldn't pester you anymore.

  • How do I stop my Mac from asking if I want to allow iTunes to accept incoming network connections?

    Every time I open iTunes on my Mac, a drop down box asks me if I "want the application "iTunes.app" to accept incoming network connections?". I always click allow, but it's a pain to have to do this every time.
    Does anyone know how I can permanently stop this box from appearing?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the same problem with Keynote.
    It's already set to accept incoming connections but it still asks whenever it's launched--annoying.
    Is there a fix?

  • Why is Firefox v36 asking "Do you want the application 'Firefox.app' to accept incoming network connections"? It never did before, so what should I say?

    I'm on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 Have just upgraded Firefox from v35 to v36.
    Every few minutes I get a message "Do you want the application 'Firefox.app' to accept incoming network connections?" It's never done that before, so why now (v36) and what should I say?
    The message goes on, "Clicking Deny may limit the application's behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall panel of security preferences." The other option button is Allow.
    The computer has always had Firewall switched on. Is Firefox suggesting I now switch Firewall off? What has changed since v35? Has Mozilla offered any information about this?
    Thank you.

    Hello FredMcD,
    I wasn't suggesting they 'ask'. But I believe an entirely new and fundamental message like "Do you want the application 'Firefox.app' to accept incoming network connections?" warrants a few words of clarification.
    I'm a fan of Mozilla, my comments are intended to be constructive!
