iTunes problem

[Oktober]

For a while now, so not since 10.5 I get the message below. How do I stop getting the message?

Thanks

Darren

What setting do you have for iTunes in your Firewall settings?

System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall.

System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Set access for specific services and applications
Add iTunes to the list, allowing incoming connections.

Yes I have it set to allow incoming connections.

Yes I have it set to allow incoming connections.

If that's the case, you shouldn't be seeing the message. However, I've seen it from time to time with apps that are on that list, just not frequently.

Thank you. Nothing I can do then?

Not that I'm aware of. I know it's a nuisance. Maybe someone has a fix for it, but I haven't seen one.

Used to happen to me every time. I think it was from library sharing. I deleted iTunes and downloaded it again from the website, and it stopped. Can't promise it'll work for you.

This can happen with code signed apps that have been modified somehow. This invalidates the certificate and makes OS X prompt for firewall permission every time. Removing the app in question and re-installing it should fix it if this were the case.

I have always had this when I turn on home sharing.

Turn off home sharing and it stopped. Tried reinstall several times and never works. Learned to cope with it I guess myself.

And now wifi-sync I just leave itunes open anyway now.

You might have something there with regards to home sharing.
