Home sharing + other rested info


has noticed in itunes when home sharing enabled "allow incoming connections itunes.app" dialog appears on every launch of itunes, though listed in firewlal "allow incoming connections" ?

don't believe did 10.7.3, never used itunes, till mac up-to-date, i've been talking apple, , couldn't solve either.

first asked me create second user account , try there. on launch "new admin" account, asked me launch itunes there , see if dialog still came up, did.

decided, remove entry system preferences>> security & privacy, firewall tab , advanced, , click "-" remove it.

on launch of itunes didn't pop, presumably coz had add it. on repetitive launches of itunes, popups again. having trashed library prefs (moved desktop temporarily) reboot of mac, problem still continued. turning "off" firewall seems thing resolves this, not protected, , can't keep home sharing off because use apple tv, dialog.

assume doing complete reinstall of lion fresh or archive wouldn't help, there else try ? or issue needs fix.

on totally unrelated issue, experienced issue multiple accounts.. after coping itunes purchases on other user account, fail show in itunes. these mobile applications downloaded itunes , kept on mac...

after copying itunes/media folder shared, other music/itunes library. nothing appears under apps column (hidden default, enabled under preferences itunes) .

though physical folder moved or copied first account second, there way have itunes recognise ?
 

attached files:

you "unprotected" if turn off mac's firewall. if have router has active firewall don't need 1 on mac unless have unscrupulous folks sharing same local network ;)
