[QUOTE="Horatio Street, post: 62008"] :o I have OS X2.8 and today ran an automatic iTunes software update from Apple. After it installed, I got a message saying that my "system is running firewall which is blocking port 3689 and [I] should change the firewall to allow communication on port 3689". Well this is all mush to me! If I have a firewall it came with the iBook because I have not installed a firewall. I've only installed Norton anti-virus for Mac. So when I try to find this "firewall", I get nothing in response. Nor when I try to find a "port 3689". I admit I am still wearing diapers when it comes to the Mac, but this is driving me crazy. Does anyone know what's going on and how I can undo whatever it is? Thanks y'all! :confused:[/I] [/QUOTE]
