Hi Tim, My iTunes copy also developed that very same problem where on startup it keeps asking for permission to connect to the internet. In my case the problem was that my copy of iTunes was no longer signed and thus the fire-wall continually sought my permission to allow it to connect to the internet. Various utilities can cause this problem by deleting a file from a signed bundle and thus invalidating the signature -- e.g. a application that saves disk space by removing PPC executables from universal binaries.
The fix for me was simple enough I deleted my copy of iTunes from the Application folder, downloaded a new copy from the Apple site and reinstalled it. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ All my iTunes preferences and settings were preserved. Hope this works for you too, Carlo On 2010-11-30, at 21:28, Tim Law wrote: > > Brilliant Ronni, > > iTunesHelper wasn't installed in System Preferences. > It is now and it DOES work as expected.
