How can I stop the network connections popup?

In our house we have 4 macs...two of them are new and I set them up by restoring from TimeMachine rather than with the migration tool as I have done in the past. This was recommended to me as a "cleaner" way to set up new machines (at least on an alternating basis).
On these two new machines I get a popup "Do you the application "microsoft word.app" to accept incoming network connections (this is also for excel or any office product). I'm still using Office for Mac 2008.
The only way I can find to stop these annoying popups is to turn off the fire wall, which I do not want to do (and which I have not done on the 2 mac books and they work fine).
Is there some setting or script I can run to fix this?
thanks,
tom

Linc-
I'm taking your advice because I've seen many other great answers from you...but not without some trepidation :-)
This is so weird ... I've set the mac books next to the iMacs and looked at every setting on them...all the same, yet one gets the popup and the other doesn't. I found that it doesn't matter whether I set the firewall to allow or not-allow, the popup is there in both cases.
Do you have any advice on airport settings that I should be changing the defaults to? (other than a good WPA2personal password which I have)?
thanks again,
tom

How can I view the Network Connection Log on MacBook?

Hello everyone!
I want to view the Network Connection Log on my MacBook. I know the Console.app is the app to view the system log but I do not have any idea where is exactly showing when I connect to the network by using the Wi-Fi networking or the Ethernet.
Anyone get some idea?

You probably won't be able to make sense of it but .. . .
In terminal use command.

How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing

How can I stop the iWeb welcome movie from appearing every time iWeb starts up?
Oh yes and now that we are talking: when I plug in my ipod, I want iTunes to start, not iPhoto.
Who knows these tricks?

iPhoto seems to be viewing the iPod as a camera. Therefore go to iPhoto's General preference pane and select No application in the Connecting camera opens: menu.

You might have an app or iTunes purchase that belongs to a different Apple ID. Look very carefully at the popup and make sure it is referenceing your correct Apple ID.

How can I stop the sales calls?

A little over a week ago, Verizon called me to ask me to upgrade my DSL to FiOS. I told them I'd review it and contact them if I wanted to proceed.
Saturday morning, they called me to ask me to upgrade my DSL to FiOS. I told them I wasn't interested.
Saturday afternoon, they called me to ask me to upgrade my DSL to FiOS. I told them again I wasn't interested.
Saturday afternoon, they called me AGAIN (yes, 3 sales calls in one day) to ask me to upgrade my DSL to FiOS. I told them AGAIN I wasn't interested, and that they'd called me three times that day.
I emailed a complaint, got a non-response with an invalid link asking for more information.
This morning, they called me yet again asking me to upgrade my DSL to FiOS. The sales rep said he could not connect me to customer service, and I kind of went off on him.
At this point, the only thing I can think of is to see if I can get my phone and DSL services thorugh another company, Verizon seems to have been bought out by a consortium of Nigerian bankers.

how can I stop the program from resizing, zooming in and out, of my photos? I want it to create stop action.
in the Project Properties (command-j), you can tell iM how to handle the initial photo placement method on import. out-of-the-box, iM is set to Ken Burns, but 'fit' should be your setting.
keep in mind:
iMovie doesn't allow a clip-length of 1-frame, which is needed for smooth action for stop-motion.
specialized tools as Boinx' iStopMotion (AppStore, 40$) or the free FrameByFrame do perhaps a (much) better job

How can i use the network logon (VPN) as my default logon environment ?

Hi!
I use my laptop only for connect to my work, but every time i need to switch the last local user and click in the Network Logon icon in the bottom right corner, how can i make the network logon my default logon environment ?

Hi,
Logon process cannot be easily replaced, but if your concern is just to ignore it, we can use auto logon to bypass the manual logon process:

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync. Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

How can I stop the flickering/juddering that appears on my iPhone 5's screen?

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

Are you using DHCP to allocate IP addresses via your router or Static IP allocation?
You may have an IP conflict in your network.
Check on your various network configuration parameters in your iPad, PC and WiFi router.
