Hi all,
I have Just started to get the above message pop up since i updated to iTunes 11.0.1. I am running OSX 10.8.2 and its all up to date. I dont want to didable the firewall un less i have to. I have check to see if iTunes is in the list and it set to allow all in coming connections. Have tryed to re-install iTunes but still not joy dont really want tohave to re-install everything if there is an easy way to stop other than turning off my firewall
Many thanks
Gavin
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 AllowI 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 -
every time I launch iTunes I get the message: "Do you want the application iTunes.app to accept incoming network connections" Any suggestions?
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 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.

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
ThanksHi 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.

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? -

'You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software?.Going from iPhoto v 8.x.x to V 9.x.x is called an upgrade and requires the purchase of iPhoto 9.
To go from v 8.1 to v 8.1.2 is an update and is free.

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 -
