10.5.3 problem with changing computer name

Having an issue with computer naming after 10.5.3. Here is the issue:
New Leopard install, fresh
Installed all updates, including the 10.5.3 update
Change the computer name in System Preferences\Sharing
The new name is reflected in Computer Name field
The new name is also reflected as the Local Hostname under Edit
Rebooted the machine
Look at System Preferences\Sharing\Service and none of the services reflect the new computer name\local hostname, the old computer name is listed for each service
Click on the Edit button and deleted the Local Hostname, left it blank and clicked OK
Now the new Local Hostname is listed for each service
Open a Terminal window and the old computer name is listed at the prompt
Reboot the machine
Open a Terminal window and the old computer name is listed at the prompt
Not being a Unix guru, I assume there may be a way to modify the computer name some other way than through the GUI. I sure hope so cause the new patch that was supposed to fix an issue with computer names appears to have created a new bug.

I'm posted an image of Aperture corruption, fresh this morning:
http://lemon.soju.co.uk/2008/06/05/would-you-trust-your-photos-to-an-application -that-does-this/
- New iMac 3.06GHz Dual Core, 4GB Memory, NVidia 512MB (received Sunday 1st June 2008)
- 10.5.2 upgraded to 10.5.3, then Aperture 2.1 trial installed
- First import of 40GB of photos, left to run overnight
- When trying to use this morning, Aperture screens were corrupt and it refused to shut down. I had to power off then boot back into Mac OS X. When I restarted Aperture it worked, but it still seemed to have problems taking over the machine - eg, I wasn't able to send mail from Gmail within VMWare Fusion until I closed down Aperture. I never have problems with VMWare Fusion.

Having problem with change of name in the datagrid Coding

I am having problem with changing the name of the datagrid header text name for one of the data either in the flash file or the php file.
The thing is i want to change the Course_Name to Course Name that has no underscore so that it will look nicer in the datagrid but if I change it in the php file like SELECT Course_Name as 'Course Name' ....., it will not turn out in the datagrid when I CTRL ENTER the flash file but the others like Price,description and display is shown.
There is no problem with my php code but I do not know how to change the Course_Name into Course Name so please help me resolve this error that I am having.
This is my flash code
function goCourse(e : MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(5);
refreshResponder = new Responder (refreshSuccess, onFault);
connection = new NetConnection ();
connection.connect (gateway);
dataDG.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, gridItemSelected);
refreshData (true);
function gridItemSelected (e: Event): void {
ID = e.target.selectedItem.ID;
courseTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Course_Name;
priceTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Price;
descTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Description;
private function getParams () {
var param: Object = new Object ();
param.ID = ID;
param.Course_Name = courseTxt.text;
param.Price = priceTxt.text;
param.Description = descTxt.text;
return param;
private function refreshData (refresh: Boolean): void {
if (refresh)
connection.call ("Course.viewCourse", refreshResponder);
private function refreshSuccess (result: Object): void {
dataDG.dataProvider = RecordSetDP.toDataProvider (result);
dataDG.columns = ["Course_Name","Price","Description","Display"];
private function onFault (fault: Object): void {
trace (String (fault.description));
This is my php file code.
function viewCourse()
$this->connect();
$sql = "SELECT Course_Name,Price,Description,Display
FROM coursetb";
return mysql_query($sql,$this->_connection);

i don't see where you're calling your php file in your code, but change 'Course Name' to 'Course_Name' (or vice-versa) there.

Problem with Connection Broker name

Hi,
When i change the connection broker name using for example:
Set-RDClientAccessName -ConnectionBroker serverbrokerName.domain.com -ClientAccessName NewBrokerName.domain.com
no.manchete.pt
And setup a DNS pointing to NewBrokerName.domain.com
When someone tries to connect it gives him the following error:
"Your computer cannot connect to the remote computer because the Connection Broker couldn't validate the settings specified in your RDP file. Contact your network administrator for assistance".
What am i doing wrong?
Sincerely,
AM

The services needed to be restarted, now im facing another problem with the new name:
error: "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer "NewBrokerName.domain.com" for one of these reasons:
1) Your user account is not listed in the RD Gateway's permission list.
2) You might have specified the remote computer in NetBIOS format ( for example, computer1), but the RD Gateway"
EDIT: Also solved this error RD Gateway was only allowing connections to Domain Computers, change to all resources

Difficulty changing computer name and domain name

I have a working Xserve with the latest Snow Leopard Server and am having difficulty reconfiguring it from its keyboard.
I would like to edit the computer name and domain name and maintain all other server settings. I would prefer to do this off-line. However Server Admin appears not to work off-line and any attempt to change computer name or domain name removes all server settings from view including the serial number. I can recover everything by reinstating computer name etc and restarting on-line.
Is the serial number tied to the computer name and/or domain name?
Is there any way to retain my existing server settings for a different domain?
Is there any way to progress any of this off-line?

This has now been resolved. This note is to assist others who have the same problem.
1 - I had been changing the computer name in the place I had always done it - System Preferences/Sharing. This confused Server Admin. Reverting to the original name and changing computer name and location within Server Admin resolved the issue. That is System Preferences/Sharing is updated by Server Admin but not vice versa.
2 - Playing with these things can corrupt Server Admin plist resulting in a restarted Server Admin not seeing the edited server even with the server otherwise fully functioning. Trashing Server Admin plist resolved this for me without loss of server settings.
3 - Having set it up off-line I experienced difficulty as soon as I went on-line. This was resolved by changing the server from 'local' to its full domain name. I have no explanation for this as the same settings had previously worked with 'local'.
4 - Server Admin can take a long time to find settings and occasionally failed to do so until after a restart.
The result can be seen here: http://links.open.ac.uk/ - Since Apache refuse to provide hit counter support (there are several public posts of mine on the subject) I use JavaScript to retrieve the count from an old QPQ server running on a G3 with OS 9.

Problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6

Hi there,
I am having some problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6 in windows.
1. In Bridge CS3 (Windows XP), most of the time with most of the files, there is no problem. But I found that in some files, the Label does not get changed. I usually change Label by right clicking on the picture, then Label and select any Label. When I do so in those files, nothing happens. But when I rename the file by changing or adding just a single character, then it works. And if I again rename to original name, it still works. But without renaming the Label does not change. Again this does not happen with all pictures, but occationally with some. We usually receive pictures from different clients for editing purpose.
2. In Bridge CS6 (Windows 7), if you create lot of Path using Pen tool in Photoshop for the purpose of removing background, you save the file, close, and change Label in Bridge, again open the file in Photoshop, you see no Path in the Path Pallette. So that means, changing Label works, but it removes the Path from the file. But if there is small amount of path, then no prboblem. But if there is lot of path, like you need to create for a necklace to remove background, then the problem arises.
I am using Bridge for a purpose where it is very helpful so I really need to use Bridge, and Labeling feature is the most important to me, but after feaguring out this problem, I am really tensed as to whether or not I will find a solution to this. So any help, guidance will really be appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance for any solution.
Best regards

I have re-checked the issue and I found that the problem is with JPG file.
I wasn't even aware you could save a path to a jpeg file (always use PSD because of wanting to keep the Alpha Channel, jpeg only can contain 1 layer and no alpha channels and/or transparency).
However I tried it on a file with a simple path and one with a complex path. It seems indeed you have found a bug. The simple path is no problem but the more complex path is indeed disappearing.
It is not only label but also rate or adding IPTC in the description field. The moment metadata is saved to this jpeg file and reopened the earlier present work path of a more complex path is gone.
Despite the fact that to my opinion a jpeg is not the most suitable file format for saving a work path this should not happen. If a work path is saved to a jpeg then it should be kept saved after just altering metadata in Bridge.
It still is the same behavior in Bridge CC because that is what I use. Don't know when it started but it still needs to be repaired

SSRS 2012, SQL Server 2012. Problem with changing database

Hi all!
I have a problem with changing database for SSRS.
I have a SSRS 2012 and SQL Server 2012. These programs is on WIndows Server 2012.
I need to link SSRS to the new database instance. For this I run SSRS Configeration Manager, open tab Database, click Change Database. Then I choose option "Choose an existing report server database", click Next, write the server name, test
connection (it's successed) and push Next again. Then I see this error message:
Error
The feature: "Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
OK
I'm confused, cause I have compatible versions of programs and THIS error.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

Hi Kirill,
From the error message, we can know that the issue may be caused by incorrect editions of SQL Server for report data sources are used as the Report Server Database.
When creating a report server database, please be aware that not all editions of SQL Server can be used to host the database. So we should make sure that we have used the correct database as the
Report Server Database. For more details, please refer to the “Report Server Database Server Edition Requirements” section in the following document:

Hope this helps.

Problems with song's names in iTunes Store

So, I have a problem with song's names in iTunes Store on my iPhone 6+ 128. with 8.2
You can see it on attached screens.
I tried to change the font size and erase the phone and then install it again by default. The problem manifests itself on 6+ and didn't on my iPad with the same program version.

That's really curious. Sorry I don't have anything else by way of potential solutions to offer, but it may be worth contacting Apple about this one.

I had to uninstall firefox since it was causing so many problems with my computer. I was using the latest version 18. What is the problem?

I have had nothing but problems since I installed the latest version of Firefox version 18. It hangs up my computer no matter what I am doing. Even if I am not using the browser. I uninstalled it three times and the problems just seemed to be getting worse. I finally uninstalled it and did not reinstall it again. I am not going to use it again until the problems are fixed. I also don't know what funmoods is or whatever it is that replaced my google home page. I don't like software deciding what services I should use. I have been a firefox user for over 15 years. I have never had problems like this before. I have switched to Safari. It works without interfering with the other tasks I am doing on my computer. I don't know what version 18 did but the previous version of firefox I was using was perfectly fine. I had no problems whatsoever with it. It appears as if this version was not sufficiently tested. Also my daughter is having the same problems with her computer and they all started with the new version. So it isn't just me. At least give us the option of going back to the previous version and asking us if we want to upgrade when a new one comes out. However, I have never had these problems in the past with any version of firefox I installed. I like the features of firefox but cannot afford to keep rebooting my computer. It seems that firefox gets hung up and then hangs the computer up and I can't do anything else even if I am not using it. It seems to stay on in the background and hang everything up. Please fix this.

It most definitely is the browser that is causing most of the problems. I have used Firefox so long, I can't even remember. Maybe since its beginning. But today is a sad day. I gave up on it. I can't accomplish anything and end up spending hours troubleshooting. I see I am not alone. I am so sick of it "not responding." It's simply not worth it to spend so much time trying to make the thing work, so I can actually do something. Installed, removed, reinstalled numerous times, and I can't fix your software on my Win 7 Pro machine. No problems with IE or Chrome. So. as much as I hate Google Update, Chrome has won the test. Sad, sad day for me to lose Firefox, but it just does not work on the Win 7 machine. I don't have the same issues with the XP machine and have exactly all the same add-ons. Keep it up developers and you will have no Win 7 users at all.

The upgrade to Firefox 4 is causing massive problems with my computer. How do I uninstall it and go back to using the previous version?

Firefox 4 is absolutely awful - it is causing massive problems with my computer. How do I uninstall Firefox 4 and go back to the previous version of Firefox?

According to the instructions given on the Norton Community forum under "Other Norton Products/Comcast-Customers - Norton Toolbar Problem in Firefox 10", I have done everything necessary. And I do have a Norton toolbar (Safe Web and Identity Safe) when I open Firefox 10. As was mentioned in the previous posts here, you need to run manual LiveUpdate then reboot until you have version 5.2.0.13. Then reboot and run manual LiveUpdate again and reboot once more. One thing that I noticed is that Norton never told me that it had updated the patch for Firefox 10, so I didn't know. I guess if you have the toolbar when you run Firefox 10, then you have done it all.

Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM.
1. SMC
Read this and follow the instructions for your kind of mac:

2. PRAM
Follow the procedure below:
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
command–option–P–R
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should normally.
