My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?
my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?
There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart -

We have recently purchased a Macbook Air and this has Lion (as opposed to leopard on the iMac) and we are sharing photos between the 2. I am awaiting the upgrade discs for snow leopard and then to Lion for the iMac but is there a way to access my photos until this arrives?

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?
Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally. -
My calendar keeps deleting new events and if I make a change to an old event it keeps reverting it back to its original time. How do it stop this from happening?
How do you update it? Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password

HT203768 iPad air ios8 deletes mail in inbox every few days.
IiPad air ios8.1.2 deletes inbox email every few days.
Some where along the lne the Mail app changed from hom many emails you could keep to the lenght of sync, it's been this way at least since IOS 6. It's normal, to free up room on your iPad. Remember just because a email auto-deletes it's not gone, it's just not on your iPad. You can go to your email account onlne to see how many email you have. You can also use the search field if you also know the name. if you live near an Apple Store it might be a good time to stop in and find out why you don't have the option to change the sync amount.

IPhone loses WiFi every few days
Hi. My iPhone 4S has been acting strange recently. Every few days or so my WiFi will stop working. It shows In the corner that it's connected but nothing that uses the Internet works. I go into Settings and turn WiFi off and on and it tries to connect but the wheel just spins next to the network name. Other devices in my house work fine during that time but the iPhone won't connect. Usually the only way I can get it working again is to reset my network settings on the phone.
I'm wondering if it's my router possibly? It's a Linksys WRT54G that we've had for a long time. I'm using WPA Personal. Could my router be getting too old? Ive also noticed lately that my WiFi strength goes from two to three bars quite a bit on the iPhone. I always had full bars in the past. My channel is on 11 but I tried to change it the other day which caused my Xbox to not connect so that's another reason I'm leaning toward the router being too old. But the fact that my phone can lose signal while everything else in my house is unaffected makes me feel like it could be the phone.

New AirPort Extreme w/ Time Machine disk crashes every few days
I bought an AirPort Extreme base station about a month ago. It's currently in bridge mode, connected to my U-Verse residential gateway, and has a 1 TB hard drive attached to it that I use for Time Machine backups. The drive is formatted HFS+ and both computers that connect to the AirPort are MacBooks. Every few days, usually overnight, Time Machine will stop working, saying that it cannot connect to the backup disk. If I try to access the shared disk in FInder, it times out. The Internet connection works fine and if I go into the AirPort Utility, it shows up. But if I click on "Manual Setup," it will time out. If I try to restart the router from the menu bar option, it will time out. The only way to fix it is to manually unplug the router and restart it that way. Is anyone else having a similar issue, or know how to prevent it?

I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Yup, that's the sort of thing that happens sometimes in this scenario.
You might be able to improve that by, of all odd things, changing some names. See #P1 in the same place.
Another possibility is the external HD going to sleep and not waking up quickly enough. Check with the maker for firmware updates or ways to adjust it's sleep (or "spin down") performance.

That, I suspect, is a different problem (and mostly out of my area).

I am having to reset my icloud password every few days
I have had this recurrent problem over the last 2 - 3 weeks. Every few days I find that Mail won't log in to my .mac account and tells me to reset my password. When I go to the reset page it tells me my password has been locked 'for security reasons'. I am on maybe my 5th or 6th new password in around 3 weeks, when I have not had to reset my password for over a decade previously. This is all obviously a massive pain: I am now having to use passwords I cannot readily remember, because iCloud won't let me re-use old passwords; and I am, of course, also having to change the password on my iPad and my iPhone and re-enter it for various iCloud sync'd services such as Address Book.
Can anyone please explain why this is happening and if there is anything I can do to stop it?
Thanks.In my case I have to change the password every week.
The requested reset takes long time when I am on mobile modem with low quality connection (traveling). Have file on Desktop, where type my new password instead of the old one every reset. Do not think this is secure - but what to do...
The only guess is - Mail is checking the account every several minutes (I have it open when in office) and Apple has some limit to the number of connections before such request is issued.
I would prefer not to be bothered by this. I was using the same password from the beginning till quite recent time when this reqests started. There were no problems with security and I do not like and do not want to change password so often.
Anyone in here managed to avoid these requests? I am not using LinkedIn. Actually do not remember anything where I could put my iCloud password even once (especially to put it each week after weekly reset) - except iCloud itself...
Or are there just 5 of us with such problem - something common with the iCloud registration? I have my account since iTools/.Mac. May be they simply want me out? -

Late 2012 iMac Freezes every few days
My iMac has been in the Apple Store for a week with the Geniuses and they came back saying they couldn't find anything so putting this out to this community in the hope someone else can help. Here are the details.
Model: 21.5 inch Late-2012 iMac
RAM: 8Gb
Processor: 2.9Ghz Intel Core i5
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
Hard Drive: 1.12 Tb Fusion (653Gb free)
OS: 10.8.4
Software: Fairly vanilla with no MS or Adobe Apps. No system extensions or hacks installed.
Symptom: Every few days or so the iMac locks up. Certain running applications will still work but many common ones such as Pages, Aperture, App Store & TextEdit will hang when trying to open. Force Quitting them doesn't affect them. When I try to shut down the computer it goes to the grey screen and stays there. Eventually the power needs to be turned off to reboot it. This has been doing this for the last several months.
Solutions Tried:
- Fixed permissions
- Reset PRAM
- Re-install OS X
I can't replicate the crash but today it happened again. At around 3:50pm I went to the iMac and noticed that Pages wouldn't load. Force quitting the App didn't do anything. Aperture was not responding so force quit that. Still wouldn't re-open. Mail was working fine and I was able to send a test message. Safari worked fine. Launched System Preferences ok but could not launch TextEdit or App Store. Calendar opened and closed fine. Attempted to restart the Mac but got the grey screen and after 5 minutes of waiting turned the computer off & relaunched it.

Notice that the last Console entry was at 2:47pm (in red) and then nothing. I went to use the computer at 3:50pm and did several actions on it. Plugged in iPad, opened iTunes. Copied a file from the iPad to the desktop. Prior to that it hadn't been used for several hours. The shutdown that I selected does not appear in the log (although it only managed to go to the grey screen rather than complete a full shut down).
Appreciate any clues at all here. This is very frustrating and has been going on for far too long.
TIA. JordanBack up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.

Cookies every few days makes a *.bak file and starts anew (win7-64 with FF33)
Upgraded from FF5.1 to FF33. Only problem was black screen, fixed with hardware switch. Cookies are somehow storing a backup file every few days, and starting new file. Checked cookie settings and same as used in FF5.1
Last night hand purged about 2/3 of cookie file using FF33. File size didn't change (about 1534K)
Manually restored cookie BAK file twice, without problem.Do you have security software or cleanup software that might be causing this and is cleaning out the cookies?
It is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
*Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Airport Express goes MIA every few days
I am using Windows Vista, and Airport Express to create a wireless network (it is the only wireless router, connected to a wired router). Every couple of weeks or so on average, my computer will be unable to find the network. I have found no pattern, no triggering action. Out of the blue, one day, it will not find the network. Nothing but a hard reset and going through the setup again will help (and even then, it takes 15-20 attempts before the Airport Utility finally sees the freshly reset Airport Express).
I have tried this with two different laptops. It is only the one that is used to update/setup the Airport Express that refuses to find it afterwards. Other devices will continue to be able to see and connect to network (Android phone, iPhone, iPad, etc).
This has been bothering me for at least a couple of years now. I have tried lots of different security settings, and pretty much all the options I can see. I have scoured Google and can't really find anyone else having had the same problem. It is driving me crazy.
Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? I am currently in the position where my laptop has lost the Airport Express, Airport Utility can't see it and I have to use a different wi-fi. Other devides continue to see and use the network I had created with my laptop.
This happened with Win 98, and now it is happening with Vista on a new laptop. This has happened with two different routers, two different ISPs, and on two different continents. I really want to use Airport Express for iTunes, but this will drive me mad!
Any help will be massively appreciated. Thank you.Welcome to the discussions, Bob!
+I have an older igloo airport extreme and every few days it will drop internet connectivity+
If the problem seems to have started recently, that would be a clue that someone near you has probably setup a new wireless network that may be interfering with your signal, or there may even be a new cordless phone next door that is causing some issues.
(My neighbor...across the street...can literally knock me off the internet if he happens to walk out his front door talking on his cordless phone; something I found out only by accident one day)
The easiest potential solution, without downloading utilities to try to identify other networks near you, is to simply experiment by changing the channel on your wireless network to see if you can find some better airspace. Keep a record so you can track your changes, what works better, what doesn't, etc.
Here's how to change the channel on your wireless:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
The Channel setting is on this page
Click Update to save your changes and the Airport Extreme will take about 20-25 seconds to restart again.
Maybe start on the high channel...11 and try that first, then work down from there as the lower channels 1 tend to be more crowded, but there are no hard and fast rules.
Hopefully, there are not too many networks around you and you'll be able to find the "right" channel.
