Ever since I upgraded to 10.5.8 and the latest version of iTunes, I
receive a message that asks if I want to allow connections for iTunes.
I always click allow, but it comes back each time. Is anyone familiar
with this issue? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If you are experiencing this problem on your Mac, follow these simple
steps to get rid of the Allow or Deny popups:
1. Go to the Applications folder and drag iTunes to the Trash. Don�t
worry, your music, videos, and entire media library are not affected and
will still be there. Only the iTunes software will be uninstalled.
2. Reboot or log out of your Mac. This step may or may not be
necessary, but it certainly doesn�t hurt.
3. When you are logged back in, go to Apple�s website to download the
latest version of iTunes.
4. Install iTunes. Do not import any songs or videos if it prompts
you to do so.
All of your media should be right where you left it the first time your
fresh installation of iTunes is opened. If you get another firewall
popup asking to Allow or Deny incoming network connections, make your
choice and that should be the last time you see it. Future iTunes
launches won�t pester you anymore.

That worked. Thanks. I tried several other "Fixes" that I found online
and none worked.

I appreciate your help.

Genius Bar at your local Apple Store is a great resource !

Barring that --- apple.com/support -- look to the user discussions

Local Apple Store? I think the nearest is about 5 hours driving from
here. I did look at apple.com/support, and tried a few fixes that didn't
work. I saw a tip on uninstall/reinstall but after trying 2 of three, I
lost faith in the suggestions. This group has always been the best
place for me to find the right answers.

Thanks again.
