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.

  • Keynote always asks to accept network connections-is there a remedy for this?

    Every time I launch Keynote, it asks if I want to accept network connections--kinda annoying.
    It is already set to allow all incoming connections but it still asks every time it's launched.
    Any remedy for this?

    In Keynote Preferences> Remote Panel, if you have Enable iPhone and iPod touch Remotes option checked, you will get this warning when you start Keynote. Turning off the option stops the warning from appearing the next time you open Keynote. This is also true if you are using the Remote.app on an iPad to link to an OSX version of Keynote. With the option in OSX Keynote 09 turned off, you can't use a remote such as an iPhone or iPad to run your presentation, so it is your choice: have remote linking and get the warning or turn off the capability and get no warning.

  • Firewall keeps asking to allow network connection

    I have a couple of apps that require network connections and the firewall keeps aking to allow the connection. i have gone into the firewall settings and the box is checked to allow these apps to connect, but a dialog box still pops up every time asking me to allow it. this is new sinse 10.9, maybe even 10.8, i don't remember.

  • Mac keeps asking "Accept incoming network connections" for java

    i am having the above problem for a while now, its often so irritating, it comes out like a pop up so fast to respond, maybe some one can tell me what to do to solve this problem, its really giving me something to think about; i tried blocking it from incoming connections, but it did not solve it.

    I thought shutting off the firewall would make the computer vulnerable
    That is a common misconception.  See Do I need a firewall?
    (Note that my pages contain links to other pages that promote my services, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of my services by Apple.)

  • Recovery partition always ask for a WI-Wi-Fi  FI network, how to turn of?

    If I start from the recovery partition, it always asks for a network.  since we have our network almost never on (security) I wonder if you can turn this off or bypass.
    I know that if I start up the computer holding alt I can select the recovery volume, but wondered it there is a faster way.
    Thanks.

    If you press Command, Option (Alt) and R keys instead, you will start in Internet Recovery, which requires you to connect to a Wi-Fi network
    Really? I did it a couple of months ago and don't recall having to do it wirelessly, since I have no such network connection. About OS X Recovery states:
    In order to reinstall OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, you will need to be connected to an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network.

  • Firewall always asks to allow the same incoming network connections

    I recently changed my firewall setting from "Allow all incoming connections" to "Set access for specific services and applications" in order to better protect my computer. After making this change, my computer will ask me to either allow or deny incoming network connections for any application that requests that type of connection. Once I make a decision to allow or deny access, my choice is saved in System Preferences>Security>Firewall. Thus, I do not have to keep making the decision each time access is requested - OSX remembers my decision.
    Currently, in addition to the OSX services that I have turned on and are listed in the Firewall access screen - File Sharing, Remote Login & Screen Sharing; I have the following applications listed for allowing incoming connections: Adium, Skype, TiVoDesktop, BOINC, GrowlHelperApp & Cyberduck.
    Unfortunately, for two programs - Adium and BOINC, the firewall setup asks me every time I boot, or start either application whether I want to allow incoming connections. When this request occurs, I click on the allow button. The first time I did that, an entry was made in the System Preferences>Security>Firewall settings page that shows the application and that I allowed incoming connections. But, I still get asked every time.
    During troubleshooting, I discovered that if I disabled my Bonjour account in Adium, I stopped receiving the continuous requests for Adium. In fact, when I started Adium, with the Bonjour account disabled, I received no request. However, as soon as I enabled the Bonjour account in Adium, I immediately received the request. Interestingly, the request indicated Adium, not Bonjour as making the request. And, when I clicked allow, no new entry was added to the Firewall list for Bonjour (The Adium one was already there).
    For BOINC, there is no setting related to Bonjour, so I am unable to make a clear connection there. However, even with no Projects attached to BOINC, I still get the incoming connections request every time I boot. So, the problem is related to the BOINC application itself, and not any particular project attached to it.
    The evidence suggests that the problem is associated with the OSX firewall and Bonjour, not with Adium & BOINC. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your suggestions. They were helpful. I went to System Preferences>Security>Firewall and removed all of the applications there, so that the only items left were the services I had turned on (File Sharing, Remote Login & Screen Sharing). I then restarted the computer.
    After the restart, BOINC requested the incoming connection and I clicked allow. Adium did not ask, since I had my Bonjour account within Adium disabled. I then restarted the computer again. When it came up, BOINC did not display the request window for incoming connections. So, the problem was fixed for BOINC by following your recommendations. Unfortunately, this was not the case with Adium.
    I next enabled the Bonjour account within Adium and I immediately received the request window for incoming connections. I clicked allow, and Adium.app then appeared in the System Preferences>Security>Firewall list indicating that it was allowing incoming connections. I restarted the computer and as soon as Adium restarted, the requested window returned. I immediately restarted the computer again, and got the same thing upon starting up. I then disabled the Bonjour account in Adium, restarted the computer and the request window did not come up. So, there appears to still be a problem when having an enabled Bonjour account within Adium.

  • 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

  • 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!!!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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).

    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 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.

    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.

  • "Allow incoming network connections" every time

    Hi everyone, on my mac always appear this message "allow incoming network connections" when i open the programs that use the network like Recordbox and Parallels for example. The firewall is turn on and the exception is registered but os x (both Mavericks and Yosemite beta) ask me every time to allow the connection, how can i fix it? thanks...
