Hello nbotros,

I have contacted Apple Support;

Deleting the app “mediasharing”, if I could find him, is a opportunity.

I never downloaded the app.
The firewall does not mentioning the app; so no incoming data?
Starting up MacOS takes more time since I noticed the pop-up.

Thanks for trying to find a solution for this problem

Kind regards, John

Hello JJkon,

Thank you for translating that for us.

Have you allow media sharing with this Mac in the past?

In the upper left corner, click on the Apple Logo > System Preferences -> Sharing
Look for "Media Sharing" in the left pane
If checked, the firewall prompt should pop up

Have a good day.

Hello JJkon,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We'd like to lend a hand to see how we can help but we're unable to read the message on that pop-up.

The more details, the better we can help.

We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.

Do you want the app mediasharingd to accept incoming network connections? Clicking ‘No’ may limit the operation of the program. You can change this setting in the panel ‘Firewall’ in the network settings.
