Even before the iTunes 10 update, it asks if I want it to allow incoming connections, I click allow, and it’s fine until I open it again.

When there’s an update, there’s a .plist file for some plugin that I’m unfamiliar with that “could not be installed”, could this be a problem?

I’ve gone into the firewall setting and set iTunes to allow, but the problem persists.

Help please?

Printerman.

It certainly may be. What is the plugin?

I’m not sure, I’ll reinstall iTunes and see if it gives me that error again. Hold tight.

Ummm, reinstalling iTunes seemed to fix the problem, no more prompting, but I still got 2 errors. I thought it was a .plist but I guess it wasn’t.

Sorry if that causes confusion.

Not sure why that comes up with iTunes but it is part of HP's drivers. I'm going to assume that you're using an HP printer and if so, you should upgrade your drivers. There should be some available from the HP site.

Yes, I’m using an HP laserjet printer, thank you very much vans!
