I bought a new Mac Mini that shipped with Yosemite. Itunes is now prompting me every time it launches to allow it to access incoming connections via the OS X Firewall. I'm allowed it and allowed it. I'd also removed iTunes from the OS X file wall and I re-added it later. The app still prompts me. Over and over again.
Anyone else seeing this issue?
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Late 2014 Mac Mini
The best solution would be to turn off the firewall. It serves no purpose if you're on a private network behind a router. In the unlikely event that you have a real need for the firewall, clear out all the options you set and recreate them.
I understand and I know, but I like my Apple stuff to just work. So when it doesn't....you get the idea. There is no reasonable explanation for this to happen. Therefore there is a bug. I'd like to see it fixed. My guess is some plist file isn't being updated properly. I ran permissions checks and didn't find anything to fix related to this. It did fix some other items.
Seems to be an old problem which had different solutions before Yosemite. I faced the same problem (OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite, Late 2014 Retina 5K iMac, iTunes 12.1.2.27) and solved it this way:
Go to Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
Delete the file com.apple.alf.plist
Reboot the Mac.
Worked fine for me. Found this hint somewhere else.
