What does the number after my wireless client name mean

I have an airport express and have set up my network properly. Just recently I have noticed that there is a number (sometimes in parentheses, sometimes not) after the wireless client name when I look at my network with my airport utility. What does this number stand for and why does it keep changing?

This is a known bug in Yosemite.
On your Yosemite Macs.......
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Sharing
Edit the name of the Mac to what you want
Things may be OK for a day or two, but the (2), (3), (4), etc will come back to visit until we get a fix from Apple
I don't have an AppleTV here to check, but you can probably change the name in the settings for the AppleTV.

What is the number for Verizon Wireless Corporate Customer Service Complaint for CA

My Complaint: I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for approx 20 years. I called customer service to seek an early upgrade for my daughter's phone. She is away in college and her phone is malfunctioning. She is eligible for an upgrade in approx 6 weeks so I did not want to spend the money on a replacement phone when since we were planning on updating to something newer. The customer service rep to me they could not do the early upgrade an to call back in a few weeks. After explaining this was unacceptable (I do not like the idea of a young female being out of state and away from home with no reliable means of communication), she places me on hold to later return with the only offer of I must purchase a new device through her ( over the phone) which will be shipped to me, the phone was priced $100.00 more than the online price (they will not price match), plus i must pay $30.00 upgrade fee, $35.00 activation fee and taxes on the retail price of the phone. I am upset and disappointed with the quality of service provided by Verizon being a 20 year customer. If not for the seriousness and urgency of this matter, i would not have asked for an early upgrade. It is times such as these that you get to see how much of a "valued customer" you really are. I guess you are valued as long as you pay your bill and continually purchase their products. I would like to speak with someone from Verizon's corporate or customer relations department. As of now I am really considering changing my service to a different provider. I have multiple accounts with Verizon and i will canx each after the current contract committment expire (starting with my daughter's phone which expires in 6 weeks) In the meantime I will go purchase her a new phone with someone else and take comfort knowing she will have reliable communication.

I started with them in 1985. It has been wonderful service but very expensive. They seem to operate on day of deposit day of withdrawal. That means that I have no benefits nothing beyond the normal customer if I don't pay my bill they shut me off. That's why I have switch to another provider and I have better service lower cost and better phones. you can't beat other providers I mean it. Please don't expect more from verizon other than a "pay me more money and I'll do what you want" because it's all about money. Read the transcripts from current Verizon employees all over the internet. The company is going down and they're taking customers with them.

Java2 Platform - What does the number "2" mean ?

Hi all, it is likely stupic. I have used java for nearly 2 years but until now, I don't know what does the number 2 accompanied with java mean ? It is a kind of naming, versioning or what ?? We have java2 including j2ee, j2se,j2me. The number 2 appears everywhere which remains a question in my mind.
Thanks for reading and perhaps, then answering.
Regards,
Hung.

From the release of java language version 1.2 , the specifications for java platform and java api had been standardised. So to landmark the java technology standard, it was named Java2. All the subsequent versions of java are based on the Java2 technology, mostly enhancing the api features and not much in vm level. Like pentium belongs to 486 family, java 1.5 belongs to Java2 family. If u know programming java 1.2, its fair enough to use java 1.5. But that is not true for those only know java 1.0/1.1.
Now for your vocabulary,
j2se - standard edition of java following java 1.2 specification
j2ee - enterprise edition of java following java 1.2 specification
j2me - micro edition of java following java 1.2 specification
I hope your curiosity has been served.

What circle with a lock? Can you be a littel more specific? It usually mean the rotation lock is on. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center and tap the icon there (looks the same - its on the top right).

HT4059 what does the red light and 'not in store' mean

What does the red light in manage my books mean? And what does 'not in store mean'?

Hello Simon,
I believe you have two unrelated problems. The red light is only associated with the digital audio port and indicates the "mute" switch inside the jack that turns off the built-in speakers when phones are in use has jammed in the mute position. No way it should affect your ability to start the computer. That has to be something else.
Does your computer give the normal startup chime sounds when you turn it on?
If you are getting the normal startup chime and have a wired keyboard, boot while pressing the SHIFT key. Keep holding the SHIFT key until you get a desktop, then let go the key. At this point, do not try to do any work with the computer but rather see if it will restart normally (without holding any keys or key combos).

What does the lock with a circle around it mean in the top right corner of my iPhone 5c

It means that your screen rotation is locked. Open up the control center by sliding your finger up from the very bottom of the screen, and click on the screen rotation lock symbol, which is the same symbol you see on the status bar.

Welcome!
You have installed Trusteer's Rapport software that many banks recommend, unware that it is poison to Safari. The developer keeps working on it but, so far, we don't seem to have a stable version that doesn't cause more problems than it fixes.

What does the number in parentheses after CPU speed mean?

On original iMacs the CPU is given as PowerPC 750 400MHz (2.2) What does the 2.2 refer to? What would the latest version of the PowerPC 750 be marked?

It's probably the release version number of the PowerPC 750.
The G3's are more commonly referred to by the suffix after "750." I believe the last Mac with a G3 was the 900 MHz iBook, and they used the 750FX.
PowerLogix makes some G3 upgrade products that use the later 750GX, up to 1.1 GHz. Unfortunately, none are for the the CRT iMacs.
Some more info about the "G3."

Elementary: what is the dollar-sign ($) in a column name mean?

I periodically see dollar signs in column names in Oracle tables. For example, when I create a LOB, often times the LOB segment will end in a dollar-sign (or two). Sometimes when one of the developers creates an object, I see some of the field namess have dollar-signs at the end of them.
What does the dollar-sign mean?
What does two dollar-signs mean?
Just curious...they seem to function as normal characters.

They are just normal characters. But Oracle (and other vendors) will frequently use characters like $ that normal developers don't normally use in order to create conventions around table names.
For example, Oracle provides a number of data dictionary tables that use x$, v$, and gv$ as prefixes. There is nothing inherently special about those prefixes. But they convey meaningful information to the users of those systems (x$ views are undocumented views, v$ views provide information about activity on the local instance, gv$ views provide information about activity on all the instances of a RAC cluster). And using those sorts of prefixes prevents confusion between application tables and Oracle tables. Lots of applications, for example, have a SESSION table. Having the V$ prefix for the Oracle-delivered V$SESSION table makes it easy to avoid confusion from having two identically named tables.
