Do you want the application 'iphoto.app" to accept incoming network connect

I had this same firewall pop-up happen to me when I ran both iTunes 10.1 and iPhoto '11.
I "fixed" the iTunes giving me the pop up by downloading iTunes from the Apple's iTunes site and installing that over my current copy. Afterwards, I no longer go the pop ups when I start iTunes. I don't know what the how, but I guess there is some difference between the iTunes downloaded through Software Update and full copy on the iTunes download site (whatever the difference is my Firewall in Snow Leopard seemed to distinguish between the two and flag the Software Update version of iTunes).
As far as iPhoto, I read in another thread to turn off the sharing features in iPhoto's preferences. I did this and I stopped getting the Firewall pop-up. This doesn't fix the problem, I guess, but it's a workaround the annoying pop ups every time iPhoto runs.
I do hope a proper fix for iPhoto arrives.

Just fixed this on my machine, the easiest way to remove this pop-up assuming you are no longer needing that software to print is the following:
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Application Support"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
Open System Preferences
Go to "Security & Privacy"
Click the lock and enter your admin password
Click the Firewall Tab
Go to "Firewall Options..."
Find KodakAiO
Right-click KodakAiOBonjourAgent or equivalent (I forget the exact name)
Click "Show in Finder"
Go Back to a folder and delete the Kodak Folder there.
Remove Kodak from Firewall Options by selecting it and clicking the " - " button the base of the list.
or
Open Finder
Go > Go To Folder...
Type In: "~/Library/Printers"
Delete All Folders Named Kodak
I'm going off memory, so If I forgot something let me know.

I keep getting a message on startup saying 'Do you want the application "KodakAiOBonjourAgent .app" to accept incoming network connections?' It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security? Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit).

It says settings may be changed in the Firewall pane of Security but I don't see how. Doesn't matter what I click (Deny/Submit). The message still pops up on starup. I have a Kodak printer and am running Mavericks but I don't think it started when I upgraded.

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!

The latest version (10.3.1) of itunes and "Do you want the application 'iTunes.app' to accept incoming network connections?"

I keep getting this message when I open iTunes. it is super annoying and won't go away. It is accepted in the firewall in the automatically allow signed software to to recieve incoming connections. what can i do about this?

Obviously you replaced the grey icons on the left for the colored ones, by replacing the iTunes.rsrc with a hacked iTunes.rsrc file. Restore the old file and everything will be OK. If you want the colored icons wait for the updated hack for iTunes 10.3.1.

Under your firewall options you can specify what apps to let through
It would probably been better to post this under iTunes for Mac instead of iTunes for Windows

Getting message, "Do you want the application "itunes.app"

Ever since the last update for iTunes when I open it I get the following message. How do I get it to "accept" every time without it showing the message and bugging me?
Do you want the application "itunes.app" to accept incoming network connection?" Deny Allow

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

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

When starting iTunes I always get the message "Do you want the application"... My firewall is on and incoming connections are allowed

When starting Itunes the following message appears every thime:
Do you want the application "iTunes.app" to accept incoming network connections?
I always click on Allow, but it doesn't help.
I'm not using the root user to work on my mac and turned the firewall on.
As mentioned on a website I already removed the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist file, but it didn't help.

Found the solution:
I checked iTunes by executing the following command in a terminal window:
codesign -vvv /Applications/iTunes.app
I reinstalled iTunes because my result was different from the expected output:
/Applications/iTunes.app/: valid on disk
/Applications/iTunes.app/: satisfies its Designated Requirement
I logged in as a root user.
In /Library/Preferences/ I deleted
- com.apple.alf.plist
- com.apple.alf.plist.lockfile
(although I could not empty the trash bin due to the lockfile, you can after a reboot)
I clicked on the iTunes.app application and pressed command+i
In that window I allowed everyone to read/write
I've moved the application to the trash bin.
After rebooting the mac and logging in as a root user, I could empty the trash bin.
I made sure that my firewall was started again, and downloaded the latest version of
iTunes (currently 10.5.1).
Launching iTunes doesn't give any warnings anymore because it's auto-trusted by mac.
Hope this helps others.

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?

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

You can't open the application iPhoto.app because it is not supported on this type of Mac.

I just used migration assistant to bring all my data over from my old Macbook to my new iMac. Then I deleted the admin user which was created automatically when I first booted up the iMac. All worked well, except for iPhoto which niow gives me this message. Annoying because I upgraded to the iMac for the big screen to work with my photos.
Any ideas folks?
TIA
Steve

You have 90 days of free AppleCare support on a new Mac, please look for the phone number in your owners manual and give them a call. They should be able to coach you through the issue.

I keep receiving a message, everytime I open iTunes, asking me if I want to accept incoming network connections.

After trying to delete the .plist I realised my iTunes had become corrupted and needed to be reinstalled. This may not be a fix for everyone, but here is how I uninstalled and reinstalled. iTunes comes preinstalled as part of OS X, and is considered “required” software by the operating system. If you therefore try to simply drag the iTunes application file to the Trash, the system will stop you and present a warning message. The warning is a bit exaggerated, of course. iTunes isn’t required for the basic operation of OS X. To disregard OS X’s warning and uninstall iTunes, navigate to the Applications folder and find the iTunes app file (/Applications/iTunes.app). Right-click (or Control-click) on iTunes and select Get Info. Locate and click on the padlock icon on the bottom right side of the window and enter your admin password. This is necessary in order to make changes to the app’s permission settings. Next, expand the Sharing & Permissions section of the window if it’s not already visible and change the privileges for “everyone” to Read & Write. This will give us complete control of the iTunes application so that we can override the operating system’s warning and delete it. Close the Get Info window and try again to drag the iTunes application file to the Trash. This time, there’s no warning, and the file is immediately trashed. Empty the Trash to complete the process. If you wish to reinstall iTunes, just launch the Mac App Store’s Software Update section (or the old standalone Software Update if you’re running a version of OS X prior to Mountain Lion.) With iTunes absent from your hard drive, Software Update will automatically offer to install it for you again.

Cheers again!
That seems to have done the trick!
Regards,
Jim

Re: iTunes keeps asking "Do you want to accept incoming connections?" even though it is allowed in Security preferences!

"netbiosd" wants to accept incoming network connections...yes or no??

Turning on my MacAir this evening I find a warning message that netbiosd wants to accept incoming connections.
Doesn't netbiosd work with my router? I'm leery because I received email yesterday with known infection. I did not open it because of text from friends telling not to open email from them because they (non-MAC users) had been infected and whatever it was accessed their contacts and spread the love.
My fan ran for over two hours last night as was odd because I had very little use of the computer yesterday and definately did not have anything hot open. Cosole activity was so sketchy last night that I marked it and copied and pasted notes as well. This is just a small portion.

So what would you do? yes or no to netbiosd accepting incoming connections. I've seen alot of unwanted traffic dropped on router gateway page for the last week. AND NOW RIGHT BEFORE I POST THIS MY FAN IS KICKING BACK ON ONLY AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES.
Thanks!

Do you want the application "Office 365 service.app" to accept incoming network

I keep getting this pop up even though I have Office365Service blocked in my firewall. And this happens even when I don't have any MS apps open.

InDesign is phoning home, probably to check for updates of that spam promotion section in the startup screen.
Could also be any plugin activation mechanism, etc.
Go to System Preferences / Security & Privacy / Firewall
If there is an entry for InDesign, change it to something reasonable.
