Boxes popping up asking to allow or deny

Every time I login to the computer I get these boxes pop up. I am not sure what they mean and if I should allow or not or how to make them stop. This just started after the Mavericks download. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Update: I selected block all incoming connections block on the firewall tab of security and privacy settings and these three messages appear to have stopped popping up. As far as I can gather I do not believe I do any file sharing so that should not be an issue I suppose.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator. 
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties". 
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window. 
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected 
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected 
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

Firewall repeatedly asking to allow or deny?

Hi
My firewall is set on app-specific permissions.
I've been getting a dialog asking to allow or deny "incoming connections" for a certain app. Every time I click "Deny" and next time I launch the app I get the dialog again. There's no "always deny" option that I can find.
My questions:
1. how do I deny it once and for all?
2. what about "outgoing connections"? are they blocked too if I choose "deny"?
Thanks!

I don't consider myself to be a firewall expert, but the System Preferences/Security/Firewall option of "Allow all incoming connections" seems to fit the bill. I do work with a lot of PC's and I've become familiar with many of the firewall programs available for them. PC's really need this badly:)
Leopard doesn't provide you with the ability to block outgoing connections any better than WindowsXP does. In the event that a user actually gets a Trojan Horse or other Spyware, these "incoming only" firewalls are completely useless.
We don't have to worry too much about Malwares yet with Leopard, but if we did, the Leopard firewall would automatically allow an outgoing connection as it would appear to be initiated by the user. - This becomes a worthless "feel good" security, especially when you are at your own home with a hardware firewall available in every NAT router that is already blocking so many ports that you have to punch holes with port forwarding to get many programs to work. Almost all of these routers make a provision for a "Stealth" mode where the router will not answer a ping or respond on the ID port scan. They also have a method of creating a "DMZ" wide open - forward every unsolicited incoming connection - to a specific IP number on the LAN so that you can run a server (I'm running Leopard server using DHCP with Manual Address to match the DMZ IP number) without having to forward all the ports for iChat, iCal, FTP, email, web server or any other service you want to run.
In the coffee house scenario, you wouldn't have the hardware firewall to protect you, but you also will not be able to block outgoing connections either. Still worthless.
If the Leopard firewall is told to just go away, you can use a real firewall program for much finer, enduring control. Little Snitch, and other programs will pop up with a warning, and offer to deny, allow once, or allow always every outgoing connection. The firewall comes with many presets that take into account normal activity like email, web surfing programs and some system initiated connections, but questions just about every other type of connection.
Sorry for the length of this reply, but the comparisons to the worthless WinXP firewall just took over:)

FREEZES WHEN FLASH ASKS FOR ALLOW OR DENY

INTEL mac freezes when flash player ask for allow or deny on all browsers, safarrie, chrome , and foxfire? Hellp!

Firefox uses a loop back connection to communicate with the Software Security Device (passwords and secure connections).
Some firewalls interpret that as Firefox being as server.

I updated Firefox and now, when I select File, Send Link, a dialog box pops up asking me to establish a new account before I can send the link via email.

I updated Firefox and now, when I select File, Send Link, a dialog box pops up asking me to establish a new account before I can send the link via email. I use Outlook, so how do I avoid setting up some new account and yet am able to send the link via Outlook?
I have a feeling it may have something to do with HotMail.com.

My Error: I found out that it was Mozilla Thunderbird that was causing the problem. I uninstalled it and the problem went away.

When responding to emails, box pops up asking for my Icloud password, each time.

When responding to emails on my IPhone, a box pops up asking me to enter my ICloud Password. I enter it in, but box pops up even after correct password is entered.

I didn't think to look in the keychain. I don't really use it for keeping passwords and the like. I use a separate app for that. I found an expired certificate of some kind, deleted it, logged out of iCloud in the system preferences and let it do all of the deleting it wanted to. Logged back in and bingo, no message. However, for some reason it enabled the Guest user access on my computer. No big deal, just turned it back off.
Thanks for the clue.

ITunes 9 asking to Allow or Deny every time at launch?

Why is iTunes 9 asking to allow or deny incoming connections every time I launch iTunes? Is there a simple way to correct this or a known bug. I have enabled that Home Sharing feature so I think it is that probably.

Hi everyone. I did not have the same problem when I just upgraded to 10.6.1. But I started to have it when I added new iTunes genres artworks. So may be it's something related to changing the original content of the iTunes resources folder like permissions, etc. Did someone make the same change?.

Whenever I open an application or go to safari a box pops up asking for keychain login. I have been to apple store twice and both times, they said they fixed it but it still keeps popping up. I bought a refurbished macrpro two weeks ago. Help!

Whenever I open an application or go to safari, a box pops up asking for my keychain login. I have taken it to the apple store two different times, and each time the techs have assured me they fixed it. I have only had the computer for two weeks and it is totally irritating. I bought it refurbished, and I am wondering if this has anything to do with it. Please help!

I've done some experimenting, and this is what I've found out:
1) The problem persists when I reformatted the USB HDD devices to ExFAT, so the problem apparently wasn't due to NTFS for Mac OS X by Paragon.
2) The problem persists even when BackBlaze is paused, so I don't think that it's due to BackBlaze.
3) The internet cuts out as soon as data begins transferring either to or from a USB HDD device and won't reconnected until I eject and unplug the device.
4) The problem affects data transfers through either USB port.

Firewall keeps asking to allow or deny

I already marked an incoming connection (a DIRECTV plug-in) as "always allow" under Firewall preferences. And also in Safari under security preferences. Still, every time the computer wakes it asks me again...

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 applications 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.

Firefox is default web browser but get problem loading page; don't know how to fix; few days ago pop up asked to allow something and I didn't and ever since can't use firefox; how do I fix?

I'm not sure if I permanently blocked this? I can't bring up

not very good with this stuff. Need to find out how to restore
it.

AFP won't allow me to "allow" or "deny" webcam

Hi,
I have the following issue and was wondering whether I could receive some help. I have read through quite a few threads on this forum and tried a solution but it hasn't worked. The problem is that I whenever I try to use my webcam on a website, the AFP dialog box pops up asking me to "allow" or "deny" access to that particular website. However I can't click on yes or no because the dialog box itself freezes. The browser does not freeze as I can navigate to other parts of the website (for example, "Home"). I have tried going on to the website using different browsers but it hasn't helped.
I have tried to uninstall and re-install AFP. I have used the following procedure to uninstall and re-install AFP:
1) Download the uninstaller to desktop
2) Close all programs (including any programs in the system tray - such yahoo/msn messenger)
3) Run the uninstaller program
4) re-boot the computer
5) checked on the following page to see if the AFP had uninstalled; http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
6) Downloaded and installed the latest version of AFP (version 10.1.82.76)
7) Restarted my computer
The above hasn't worked for me. I have checked that all my drivers are up to date for my webcam and all other hardware.
I have turned off my firewall and anti-virus but this hasn't worked. I have tried to access the hardware accelerator settings for AFP but the box keeps freezing so I can't do it. The only way I am able to get around the box is if I go to the global settings manager for AFP and click on the website and state "always allow".
System information:
Operating system - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit
Web browser - Firefox 3.6.8, Internet Explorer 8, Google Chrome 5.0.375.127
Adobe Flash Player - version 10.1.82.76
Firewall/Anti-virus: Zone Alarm Extreme Security Version 9.3.014.000
Webcam: Vimicro USB 2.0 UVC PC Camera
The same problem occurs for me on all three web browsers.
Any help would be much appreciated. I hope I have given enough information.

Hi, Troubleshooting is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, right? LOL I'm always amazed computers work at all:-)
Hats off to the Microsofts, the Apples, the Adobes and all of the others that do all they do, so I don't mind a glitch here and there.
You are probably correct about the allow/deny selection for Zone Alarm. I used it at one time and I had a hard time with it due to not understanding what an allow or deny would do:-) Glad you were able to see that.
The FF vs 3.6.9 from what I have read was all about Security. I was over there late last night reading. Link here:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox36.html#firefox3.6.9
Also, here is some additional info and it covers the DLL preloading attack that is going on:
http://www.informationweek.com/news/smb/security/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=227400031&cid =nl_IW_SMB_2010-09-09_h
Microsoft came out on 8/23 on the latter link.
Thanks for the appreciation:-) There are many other volunteers on the other Adobe Forums as well and I'm sure they are all appreciated. Many have been on the other Forums for a very long time. I'm always amazed at the number of posts they have accumulated over the years! Very Hi-Tech people over there!

When I try to download an app, even a free one, a box pops up saying I need to verify payment info. When I try to redeem my iTunes money it shows my balance but requires a code. ??? Any help?

Okay, I'm going to try to post this ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!! This **** site keeps deleting my question!?????
While trying to download an app, even a free one, the download starts then a box pops up asking for verification of payment. I put in my credit card info but then it doesn't like my address info.? So I then try every variation of spelling and such. I can't make it happy, I never had a prob before .
Then I decided to try to redeem my iTunes money but a box come up , it has my account name there, and my remaining $. It all looks correct. But it asks for a code .??? I entered all the info when I got the card. Then threw the card away. I've bought items from this with no prob until now. ???
So I'm suppose to hang onto that carduntil I spend everything? Never did before, and it was working fine till now.
So here I sit . Pretty much clueless and starting to steam !
Hopefully someone has a tip or suggestion.

If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front. This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card. This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

ITunes always asks to allow incoming connections

I have the apple firewall turned on. iTunes is set in the firewall to allow incoming connections.
With iTunes Home Sharing turned on every time I start iTunes I am asked to allow incoming connections. I reply yes and the next time I restart iTunes I am asked the same question again.
If I turn iTunes Home Sharing off I am never asked about allowing incoming connections when I use iTunes.
Is there something else I should be doing? ( other than turning the firewall off )
Any help would be appreciated.

If you are experiencing this problem on your Mac, follow these simple steps to get rid of the Allow or Deny popups:
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.

Whenever i want to update my apps the iTunes box pops up for you to sign in but the account it's asking me to sign into isn't mine and i do not know how to sign in using my account

The email that iTunes wants me to sign into is my mums which is weird because my mum has never touched my ipod so i don't why iTunes is asking me to sign into her account.
I've tried finding ways to change it but i can't seam to.
Another thing is that when i download an app, iTunes manages to get the email right and the box pops up with my email account and not my mums.
Please help me change this because i cannot update my apps.
Many thanks

- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
To change the login
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
You may have apps purchased with her account that need updating.
