Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Always asked to allow OpenBAse and openinfo to accept incoming connections

Every time I boot my iMac I get this message:

"Do you want the application 'OpenBase' to accept incoming network connections? Clicking Deny may limit the application's behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."

I'm given two options: allow or deny. If I select allow, I get the same message, only "Open Base" is replaced by "openinfo."

When I go to System Preferences > Security > Firewall, openinfo OpenBase, and openexec appear with "Allow incoming connections" chosen.

What do I need to do so that message doesn't appear anymore?

Thanks!

iMac, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, Mac OS X (10.5.2), iPhone

I had the same problem, except that mine were for openinfo and openexec. Someone suggested reinstalling the latest version of iTunes, but that didn't work for me. I was finally able to get rid of the messages by going to System Preferences > Security > Firewall, then DELETING openinfo and openexec from the list of applications allowed. The next time I booted, the messages came up one more time. I clicked "Allow" to each one, and after that, the messages stopped appearing.
