iTunes 10.01 and Firewall Issue

[Jony Mac]

Is anyone else having this issue? I've upgraded to iTunes 10.1 and every time I open it I get the following message. I've tried accepting multiple times and still no luck. I've removed the rule from the firewall settings, rebooted and opened iTunes again. Rebooted after I accepted a 2nd time and still no luck.

I read on Apple's support site it could be due to having iLife '11 installed. Any ideas?

Uninstall iTunes completely and reinstall it.

I had the same problem. Very aggravating.

I found a solution in this thread (10th post down I believe) on the Apple support site:

It sounds like there is something goofed up about the iTunes downloaded from the update server in that the firewall won't recognize it appropriately as an already signed app.

I'm having the same problem with iPhoto '11 (v. 9.1) with sharing turned on, and unfortunately haven't found a fix for that yet, aside from turning off either sharing or the firewall.

I had this same problem. There's no need to uninstall iTunes though, just download the new version from the Apple website and install it (it will overwrite the existing corrupt iTunes).

PS. I don't think it has anything to do with iLife '11 as I've had this happen on previous versions of iTunes as well without iLife installed. Probably just a bad settings file or something.

Have any of you "hacked" iTunes to get the coloured icons back? I have and have seen elsewhere that it's this that causes the message.

I have not, and I don't think it has anything to do with that. I think this is a problem with the firewall not recognizing iTunes (and iPhoto) as signed apps.

I have gotten this throughout multiple iTunes updates. Annoying. I just drag the app to the trash and then re-install and it goes away.

I shall give that a try then.

Hope it works.
