Why is there something "connected as a guest" under "shared"?

When I open the window that lists everything on my computer, under "shared" it lists something "connected as a guest", it gives a number ID, and when I click on it, it says it is a "Memory Card".  What is this?

I figured it out-  it must be the printer.
OK, here's another question.  Ever since I installed Lion, Flash Player doesn't work at all.  I've reinstalled it, de-installed it, changed settings, reinstalled again, numerous times.  Nothing works.  What am I doing wrong?

  • Why is there a guest account who can use safari in my login window???

    why is there a guest account who can use safari in my login window when i completely disabled the guest account. I disabled the guest account so others wont be able to use the internet, specifically safari, on my mac, as a form of security/parental control and now anyone who wants to go online csn do so.
    how could i completely remove that out of my login window?

    Security enthusiasts highly recommend keeping the Guest User Safari account enabled so that if you happen to lose your Mac, or if it’s stolen, it could easily be tracked down.
    The first thing most thieves do is turn on the device to see if it works, and/or access your information, or surf the internet. Once it connects to the internet, you now have an opportunity to start collecting data that could eventually lead to the device recovery and thief capture.
    This is not a full guest user account, if you select the Guest User option at login, the Mac will restart to a secured Safari-only version of the OS with access to the internet. So what’s the point of this? It turns out this is part of setting up iCloud in Mac OS X, specifically the “Find My Mac” feature. The Safari Guest User allows someone to get online so the Mac can be located, but prevents the Safari user from accessing your files and applications.

  • When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but no hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro

    When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
    If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.

    This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
    Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume)  or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call.

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

    Have a good one,

  • My App Store is connected to another account. I've tried to alter all my settings through iTunes, The App Store on both the phone and my Mac but it is still connected to the original owner's apple ID. Is there something I can do?

    My App Store is connected to another account. I've tried to alter all my settings through iTunes, The App Store on both the phone and my Mac but it is still connected to the original owner's apple ID. Is there something I can do?

    Turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud on the iDevice.
    Log out of iMessage, Facetime, remove Apple ID from iTunes & App Store.
    Use Settings > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Then set it up as a new iPhone with your own Apple ID.

  • Is there something going on with iTunes? I can't connect with any of my devices.

    Is there something wrong with the ITunes store? I haven't been able to even connect with any of my 4 devices. I don't even get as far as password.

    On my MacBook it cycle then says itunes store not connected. On my iPad, it says not able to connect to iTunes store. on my iPhone, the song I download just keeps blinking, and when I repurchase it, it says I purchased it and just keeps downloading (still from last nite)
    I,ve downloaded some podcasts ok...it just doesn't seem to want my money..(hard to believe)

  • HI!  I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away.  My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily.  Is there something that I need to configure?  I have no issues if I am close to it.  Thank you!

    Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

    When selecting my home folder on the iMac and using "Get Info" to see how much space has been used it shows around the 256g mark, but the space used up on my external hard drive is right up to 327g.
    Is this normal after the first back up?
    Hi sijam11,
    That appears about right...
    It is recommended that the Time Machine Drive be at least Twice the size of the Drive it is Backing Up...

  • Most times i am not within range of a wi-fi connection if there something i can add to my ipod touch to access the internet from afar?

    Hello Most times I am not within range of a wi-fi connection is there something i can add to my ipod touch to connect to the internet ?

    You can purchase a MiFi or similar device.  It acts like a wifi hotspot and connects to the internet via a cellular connection.  You need a data plane too.

    Probably their activation fee. But it's a question best taken up with them because only they can definitively answer it.

    I don't know why my Mac hardly connects to the Internet. The Internet bars are there but it does not browse, while my iPhone does.

    If other Internet applications such as Mail and iTunes also don't work, run the Network Diagnostics assistant. How far do you get?
