iTunes: Always Allow. Always. Please?

iTunes is one of the applications I’d like to always allow incoming connections. As you can see from this screenshot I thought I’d set things up in the Security preferences properly.

As you can also see from this screenshot every time I re-launch iTunes it asks if I’d like to allow incoming connections:

itunes_fail
Is it me? Am I missing something? Is it an iTunes bug? I’d really like to be not asked that every single time iTunes launches.

While it may be true that the setting can be changed in the Firewall pane, it is cruelly ineffective.

Update: Filed into Radar as issue #5727576.

    nope it’s not just you… that message annoys me every time I pop open iTunes (and a few other apps). Hopefully 10.5.2 will fix that and the 300+ other bugs.

    I’m having the same problem. It’s almost annoying enough to just allow all connections and turn off my firewall. Why can’t I get a fix for this?
