OS X's Constant "Allow" or "Deny" prompt when launching iTunes and YIM

Every time I launch iTunes, Mac OS X displays a prompt, asking, "Do you want the application "iTunes.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 preferences." It gives me the option to Deny or Allow it. I click Allow, but it gives me this prompt every time I launch iTunes. I've checked the Security preferences...but this still happens. It happens when I sign into Yahoo! Instant Messenger.

1) Download a new copy of iTunes from Apple: http://www.apple.com/itunes/
2) Drag your current copy of iTunes from the Applications folder to the Trash, and empty the Trash (don't worry, this won't delete your movies/music.)
3) Go to the Firewall pane of your Security preferences and delete any references to iTunes
4) Install the new copy of iTunes.
That should be it.
The procedure would be much the same for Yahoo! IM - download a new copy, delete the old one, and install the new one.

Hi was told that there was an update for itunes yesterday, when to update and this kept failing, was prompted to uninstall itunes and reinstall this continues to fail message coming up says Apple Mobile device failed to start insufficient previlieges

Hi yesterday I was prompted to a update to itunes this I tried to do without success failing a number of times. After this I was prompted to unistall itunes and re install this now continues to fail with a message error something like Apple Mobile Devices Failed to start not enough previlieges. Please help is this a Apple issue Iv'e never had any problems before.

I had this same problem this morning. When I tried to run ITunes after the failed upgrade I got a "msvcr80.dll is missing" driver error.
Following the instructions in step 1 of this link:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr80-dll-not-found-missing -error.htm
got the latest version of ITunes up and running for me.
The only thing that didn't quite work like the instructions said was I couldn't get the Apple Mobile Device Support to uninstall. The uninstall ran and said it was successful, but it was never removed from my list of installed programs. Even w/ that, the full re-install fixed the issue.

My Mac will not allow me to downlode the latest iTunes and now I can not connect my phone and computer. THis is very frustrating! HELP!!!

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Even my 12 year old Mac lets me download the newest iTunes. Of course I can't install it but any computer can download the installer files so we need to know precisely what you are trying and what error messages you are seeing.

Access is denied error when launching HFM based Financial Reports

When attempting to run Financial Reports where the data source is an HFM application, users sometimes get the following error(s):
Access is denied
<BR>Access is denied
Sometimes the error is more detailed:
1001:datasourcename=HOLX;errorMsg=Access is Denied. <BR>Access is denied. (The more detailed error is followed by references to POV members display names and member names, etc.)
The error is intermittent and cannot be easily reproduced. Sometimes users get it for hours at a time, other times they can log out and log back in and run the report fine. The users are running the reports via Workspace.
We are running the following versions, and Web Logic is our application server.
HFM Server: 9.3.1.3
Workspace: 9.3.1.0
Financial Reports: 9.3.1.0
I did increased the JVM heap size allocation on the Reports server from:
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
to
-Xms768m
-Xmx1280m
That setting change appears to have made the issue not appear as frequently, but it is still occurring. I may have bandwidth to increase the heap size limits to 1024 and 1536.
Any advice and / or help would be appreciated! The fact that I cannot easily reproduce the error and the lack of references to it in the application logs are making it very frustrating!

We had gotten this exact same error with some users getting it, some not getting it, and other users getting it sometimes.
We were told it happened when a certain number of users are in HFM reports at the same time.
To fix it you need to do the following on the HFM production servers (Foundation/Core Servers, Application Servers, and Web Servers)
Apply registry changes to prod servers:
On the server click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Rpc
Click the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type Server2003NegotiateDisable as the name of the new DWORD Value
Right-click Server2003NegotiateDisable, and then click Modify.
In the Value Data box, type 1, and then click OK.

Hi everyone. I am getting the Invalid signature message when installing Itunes and when I try and download directly from apples page I'm prompted to save the EXE.setup file and then nothing happens, it goes straight to the "thanks for downloading itunes"

Hi all, as Ive said in the question, anyone help me with this, have tried most of the suggestions Ive found so far.
Stephen

No, Nothing happened, nothing was downloaded. When I say nothing happened I mean NOTHING HAPPENED, What can I say to make it more clear. How could I run a file that wasn't downloaded.....Nothing happened, rien, nada, b***** all. Why would I post a message saying "When I press the Save button nothing happens" if something had been downloaded.
I've found out why. It is because I am using Firefox. Presumably a case of Apple treating us users of the superior Operating system (Windows) with distain.

Allow or Deny I can't remove

When I play a video the center of the video is obscured by a message from Adobe Flash player asking me to allow or deny but when I click on either on there is no response from adobe, the message is still there in the center of the video. I don't have a clue what to do about it. Adobe Flash Player is installed according to Adobe and I do not doubt that.

Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Global Settings"
Then (this is on my Mac, but it's the same in Windows) under the Storage tab, click" Local Storage Setings by Site"
The click the "+" and add the address (the exact address) that the "Allow or Deny" popup is asking you to allow, click "Allow" in the drop down and click "Add".
You shouldn't see that popup anymore for that site.

Certificate prompt in RDP session and then puts an Allow/Deny option on another users session

The users have a SSL cert installed with the private key so they can access a certain web site and when they access the site using the Windows 2012 R2 RDP server they are getting prompted with a Windows Security dialogue (Confirmation Certificate) and they
press ok. Another user will now get the next message asking if to allow or deny access to the cert. If they click allow the web site will appear for the original user.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Can you clarify the actual error message you are getting? Also please let us know, whether there is any event log available.
Seems that you have not placed the certificate under Local Computer\Personal Store. Kindly recheck the configuration related to certificate and please keep the certificate under above path with its private key and verify. You can follow below steps for information.
• Open the MMC and open the Certificates snapin
• Add the Local Computer
• Import the certificate into Computer\Personal
• Open the certificate and find the thumbprint on the details tab. Copy the thumbprint to notepad and delete all the spaces.
• Open up an elevated PowerShell prompt and write:
• wmic /namespace:\\root\cimv2\TerminalServices PATH Win32_TSGeneralSetting Set SSLCertificateSHA1Hash=”‎PASTE_THUMBPRINT_STRING”
• You can check the certificate by running:
• Get-WmiObject -class “Win32_TSGeneralSetting” -Namespace root\cimv2\terminalservices -Filter “TerminalName=’RDP-tcp'”

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!

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.

Why do I have to allow or deny iTunes or any other software, access to the internet?

Why do I have to allow or deny iTunes or any other software, access to the internet?
I've had my MBP with Leopard since the summer of 2010. From then till this past spring, I have had my firewall on and when opening a program that needs internet access, such as: iTunes, Vuze, various office products, without a problem.
Since this spring, each time I open the above software, I have give permission (allow/deny) internet access. So, this isn't a prolem really, I'm just curious why this is happening.
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core I7
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
OS X 10.6.8

Did you install Little Snitch (or Hands Off)? It will post a dialog to allow/deny apps calling out if you don't allow it to record what it is to permanently do if it sees the same call again from the same app.
Little Snitch will post a dialog with allow/deny buttons. But there is also three tab buttons; once, until quit, forever. "Until quit" is the default. So it won't nag about the same call again until that app quits but it will if you relaunch that app and the app makes the same call out. Choose "once" will allow that one call to be placed but will cause LS to nag the next time that app tries to call even if you haven't quit. Choose Forever and it will never nag again about that specific all attempt.
You need to train LS which apps you want to permit calling out and which ones you never want to allow calling out. You will of course initially be nagged quite often as you are seeing. But if you train LS to always allow the ones you want to allow eventually there will be fewer and fewer dialogs since your habits don't change that radically in the way you use your own machine.

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:)

Flashing "Allow or Deny Incoming Connections" even though it is allowed

I have chronic problems with getting the message "Do you want to allow or deny incoming connections" even though the application is allowed in the Security Preference Pane (Pain?). I had Apple investigating this and apparently they have given up. The message flashed up and quickly disappears. I have to wait for it to reappear and quickly click on it. It happens every time I use an Adobe application (CS4) but happens with other applications also.
This has occurred in this Mac since I have owned it over a year.
I have gotten so I want to wreck this and go back to reliable 10.4.
I have tried trashing the prefs for this control panel over and over again with no solution.
How can I give up and just allow all applications to allow all incoming connections. I would rather work this way, but with the Firewall up, then turn the Firewall off.
I am about ready to give up on the Mac and I have been a faithful user since 1998.

OK, I entered "Flashing Allow or Deny Incoming Connections" without the quotes into Google. I got 156,000 results. The first six were about the Mac about this problem. Several are from this discussion group.
By the time I get to the bottom of the first page, the discussion is about Adobe Flash and has nothing to do with this problem of the warning flashing onto the screen and then disappearing.
By the time I get to page 3, it is all about how to setup the Firewall.
This does not help me, or the others that are suffering from this amazingly annoying issue. I just cannot tell how widespread it is.
Lets just post it on the Apple Bug list and see if we can get their attention.

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?.
