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
/Applications/iTunes.app: valid on disk

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

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • 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!!!

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • "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.

  • IPod Shuffle 4th Gen keeps asking to restore every time connected to iTunes. Also when synced there are glitches in Songs ( stuck in between ) and voice over don't work for some. Please help.

    Whenever iPod connected to iTunes asks for Restore. Once done when synced songs, unable to sync more than 2 Playlists.
    Have to sync only 2 playlists or else the iPod doesn't play a song. Is my iPod memory corrupted ? What can be possible resolution ?

    Hi,
    Yes, I have restored from Backup via i-Cloud. I've restored the iPod to factory settings.  It seem like there is a driver issue.  I installed iOS 5.01 and updated iTunes to 10.5.3.3 at about the same time.  Win-Vista64, iTunes and iPod are all up to date.  Apple Genius, at local Apple store was also perplexed.  He suggested I ask the community.  So, here I am.
    It is strange that I can connect to other computers.  But, the other computers have Win 7.  Could this be a Vista64 driver issue?
