I've got Max 7 running on Yosemite, and although I have set the firewall control panel to allow Max to accept incoming connections by default, I am asked by the OS if I want to allow it every time I launch Max. Has anyone else had this problem, or figured out a workaround?

Yup. I've had this issue for quite some time, beginning, I think with Max 6 on my previous laptop. Whatever's causing it obviously transferred to my newer laptop when I copied everything over. Even a clean install of Max 7 has the issue. Unless someone has a way of tracing this, my suspicion is that I would have to do a clean, from the ground up, install of OSX, and then manually reinstall all my software, checking as I go to see if the message comes back in Max. Ugh. So I'm living with it.

I have the same problems here, with Max 7 and Mountain Lion. Is there a workaround without a new install of OSX? Maybe some preferences?

Max is the only application where I have this issue. All other applications work fine.

I'm a bit scared, because I wanna use Max on a self-running installation, where it's necessary to have incoming network connections.

Ditto on all the above - not a deal killer, or PIA, just gently annoying. : )

Mac Mini 10.8.5 - every-time i launch I get the same "Do you want Max to accept incoming connections?"

Have tried setting the firewall prefs like Mattyo above. no love.

Vagaries that may/may not inform those looking into this.

I started with Max on V7 - no old installs,

Later I installed Max 6 - it does not bring up that dialog, nor do any of my standalones made in Max 7

sudo codesign --force --sign - /path/to/your/max.app

I just tried the terminal input, but it doesn’t help so far:

sudo codesign –force –sign – /Applications/Max.app

I may install max 6 later, hope I get some better results.

Yeah, it’s a minor hitch. Since the window doesn’t pop up every time right after the start of max, but sometimes a few minutes later, might cause some trouble in an installation context (or just in my head).

That's strange. I've seen this issue on several other products that listen for connections and that codesign trick has worked

I'm having this exact same problem too on OSX 10.8.5.

Strange thing is it only started happening a week or two ago, i think it began after i had updated Max 7 to 7.0.2.

I had this also with 6 and 7 but I think it disappeared when I trashed the C74 folder in application support because of another bug.

Has anyone had any issues with getting Max to accept incoming connections on mac
