I personally see no reason not to let Dashboard call Apple. It is needed for some of the apps to update the info. I 'fixed' this easily. In the Little Snitch screen that comes up switch the boxes to "allow" this and click on "forever" . You will now rarely get this message and the apps will get the needed info to update . Updating software in the future can change this setting and you then will need to reset the message. Hope this helps. Will S
