Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connection

Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connection

This pop-up message started coming to me when I’d recently enabled my itunes library for iRemote app for iphone.

So every time I started iTunes, it pop’d up with this annoying message. So here is the way around to get rid of this message.

UPDATE : Just Skip to Method 3, confirm works

Method 1

Go to /Library/Preferences and Trash the file named com.apple.alf.plist (Dont worry the file will be regenerated)

Now Restart the Mac.

Start your iTunes and you wont get the pop-up message.

—

Deleting com.apple.alf.plist essentially turns your firewall off. So after that, if you like to keep your firewall ON, just Go to Settings –> Security and enable the firewall.

Method 2

Open Terminal and type the following code

codesign -vvv /Application/iTunes.app

What this essentially does is, it rechecks for any sealed resource is missing or invalid. Code signing is part of what Mac OS X uses for verifying applications that have rules in the firewall. If the applications signature is invalid, then the application will prompt for “approval” each time it opens as it does not match the signature it should have!

If you get something like this:

a sealed resource is missing or invalid

Then you will have to download iTunes from apple again and then install. Don’t worry it will reinstall application you dont have to remove the previous one.  Also your library, songs or videos wont be affected.

Method 3

If none of the above works -

Then run

codesign -vvv /Application/iTunes.app

In this, delete every objects.xib file for which it said resource added.

After you delete all of them, run again

codesign -vvv /Application/iTunes.app

When everything is done properly you will get something like this

Now start your iTune and it should be running all well again.
