Sync Stopped Working Using Bonjour [SOLVED: Firewall on Mac blocking sync] Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Happy to help - I'd recommend, though, that you use the "Set access for specific services and applications" option, though. That lets you allow OmniFocus to talk through the firewall, but blocks other applications from doing so.

Think of it like giving a trusted friend a key to your house vs. leaving the door unlocked entirely. With the current setting, the door's unlocked. :-)
 
This post helped me solve the same issue. After realizing I didn't have the firewall turned on I turned on the Firewall with "Allow only essential services" - I should have realized blocking incoming connections would block things like OmniFind sync.

Brian - right on the money about locking the door - it was easy enough to "set access for specific services & applications" and add the ones I know I trust - OmniFocus being one of them. I'm back in sync - thanks for the tip. I can't wait to try out the 1.5 update on the iPhone 3.0 update.
