Possible Duplicate:
“iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?

Hi All,

I recently updated to iTunes 10, almost threw up when I saw the new icon on the engadget and gdgt liveblogs and after DLing the latest shiny SW toy immediately replaced the iTunes.icns file in /Applications/iTunes/Resources to something I found and liked. Since then every time I open iTunes, even if I stay logged in but quit the app, a firewall warning dialog box pops up asking whether I would like to allow or deny network connections.

I've read the previous thread from '09 on this but I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of the Firewall's problem with an altered application. Especially one signed by Apple... Thing is, I want to keep my new .icns but the box is tiring - meaning the "just-download-reinstall-etc" way isn't a solution. Any ideas?

Thanks!

OS X is reading the digital code signature that shipped with iTunes 10. Since you modified the application, the digital signature does not match anymore. OS X will continue to issue the warning that the application was modified unless the signature is changed. You can always try to update the signature by opening up Terminal and typing:

cd /Applications
codesign -s iTunes.app/

Hopefully, this will alert the system that the signature has changed and make the firewall alert go away.
