Adhoc device listed under "devices"

Hello, I'am wondering about:
in the wifi menu next to the volume button for example is an adhoc device (HPCA70...) listed under "devices"- what could this be?
I already made a new OSX Mountain Lion installation on my MBP Retina, but the adhoc device or what else this is is still listed under devices.
What is that?
Thanks
Thomas

Could be a neighbors network SSID name. You just briefly picked up the signal.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't share preview files to an iOS device. There are several other options for pdf's such as Adobe Reader or iBooks.

You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

G470 Bluetooth not listed under Device Manager and not working

Hi,
Can someone teach me how to solve my G470 problem?
Its Bluetooth is not listed under Device Manager and I can't find it anywhere.
Before that, it isn't working at all.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi athirah11,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Manager, click View > Show hidden devices and check if the Bluetooth device is being listed.
- Link to picture
- Link to picture
2. If the bluetooth device shows up under the Device Manager, do the following:
a. Under Control Panel > Programs, uninstall the Bluetooth driver/software (reboot if necessary)
b. Run the Bluetooth Driver Installer
- this will identify the type of Bluetooth Device installed on the system (eg. Qualcom Atheros, Intel, etc.) and it will install a generic Bluetooth driver. If successful, the Bluetooth device and its components should now appear normally under the Device Manager.
If the bluetooth device still doesn't show up, can you provide the model number of your G470 (eg. 59xxxxxx) fur further checking.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

IPhone not listed under iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices

Why is my iPhone not listed under iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices ?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Since you are using a Windows based computer, could be anti virus software preventing iTunes from "seeing" the iPhone.

Hi, I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device. On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb. I enabled file sharing. But nothing happens. If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine. How do I fix it?

I am trying to connect a WD Mybook for Mac to my airport/time machine device. On the AirPort Utility it listed under Disks at 0 Mb. I enabled file sharing. And also followed all the steps - "secured disk access: with a disk passord", "Airport disk guest access: read and write", "Share disks over WAN". But nothing happens. If I plug it directly into my MacBook it works fine. How do I fix it? Also, its connected via a powered usb hub.

I assume that you are using Mac operating system 10.4.11, as your profile indicates.
The instructions that you referenced are for use with AirPort Utility....not AirPort Admin Utility.
Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac , which will run on 10.4.11.
Also noticed that the instructions do not tell you that the hard drive should be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the AirPort Extreme, but they should.

You need at least 50 MB of free space in order to back up to iCloud. Rather than backing up, have you tried importing the photos to your computer and deleting them from the camera roll as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083?

Somehow lost listing under Mac HD under Finder Devices

I am not sure what I did, but somehow I lost some items listed under Macintosh HD under DEVICES on the left side of the Finder window. It used to show my account, "Test", and "Applications", as sub headings under Macintosh HD. How do I get these back?

Check the settings in the Sidebar tab of the Finder's preferences.

Multiple versions of same computer listed under shared (with a number added)

Hi,
This is not Yosemite specific as I found numerous posts from earlier systems but no solution. I have 4 macs connected to this specific network. For whatever reason after running for months with no issue the iMac is now listed multiple times and a number is added. The previous computers do not work (as shortcuts). When reading up on the problem, this should only happen if there are numerous macs with the same name on the same network. This is not the case the name listed under system prefs -> Sharing is unique. I tried to delete the extra number and restart the system but it never seems to stick. Looking into the Bonjour network I can find these same references. I assume the iMac thinks there is another computer with the same name and thus adds another system. This also carries over to the other computers as it lists the imac multiple times. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Can I delete the bonjour/apple file protocol prefs and as such delete all the systems?
I have turned smb/afp on/off I have renamed the system, restarted it and then going back to the old name to no avail.
Thanks for any ideas,
Philly

There are several possible causes for this behavior.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local". Resolve the name conflict by renaming one or more of them in the Sharing preference pane.
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 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. If the router is an Apple device, it may need to be restarted.
7. A third-party Bonjour device on the network is malfunctioning. Finding out which is a process of elimination.
8. There is more than one DHCP server on the network. Typically, there would be two or more wireless access points configured to act as routers.

Why aren't all albums listed under albums in my phone's Music app (home sharing)

I'm using home sharing to listen to music on my iPhone 4S. I can access the shared library no problem, but when I go to the Album list, not all albums are there. Everything that I've recently ripped is there but only 9 out of ~40 albums that I imported to the library (vs ripping) are listed. If I want to access that music, I can search under Artist.
I checked out the Info on albums that are listed vs those that aren't and I can't see a difference - they both have Artist & Album listed under the Info & Sorting tabs.
The main iTunes install that is doing the sharing is on a Windows 7 laptop; all the devices accessing the home share are either iOS or OS X.

Search pointed me here.
I have the same issue with an iPad3.
My iPad3, fully up to date will only show 8 albums from a home share and frequently misses all or some of the album art work.
Music served by latest iTunes on 10.8.2. Other devices like iPhones and older iPads list all the albums and album artwork without issue.
Did the log out and back in of home sharing step last night. Fixed it once and then no new albums were showing (converted a few more cds) and this morning I'm back to 8 albums according to iPad3.
iPhone 4 ... it is all there, instantly, never needed to log out ordoanything ...
Quite puzzling. All devices are up to date. Presumably the app would be the same for all IOS devices apart from layout.
It is strange also how it picks 8. It is not like they were the first or last ones added. Or alphabetically first or last by artist or album name. It spans dozens of albums.

Isight not listed under firewire in system profile

hello all,
All of a sudden my isight is not listed under firewire in the system profile. I've tried restarting with it plugged in and with it not plugged in. The green light of the camera will come on for a few seconds then shuts off when i do plug it into a firewire port. I have tried both ports on the computer and it is the same thing with each. I use yahoo messenger and no camera is listed there anymore. I also have iglasses installed and it always worked great. I guess I need to know how to get the system to list it again!
Thanks in advance for any help!
Tim

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Tim
Sorry Tony's good suggestion did not work for you.
(1) You can try the other checks, including checks for things like bad cables or ports, from How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional. If you can, it will be particularly helpful to try your iSight on another Mac and try another iSight on your Mac.
(2) Click the highlighted items in System Profiler as follows to check for iSight:
If your iSight is still not recognized in System Profiler, try the suggestions in Apple's What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device article.
(3) If you can get your external iSight recognized as a Firewire device in System Profiler but your iSight is still not working, you should next try all relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.
Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific". Click here if you need help creating a new user account to check whether your problem is "user-specific" during Troubleshooting.
(4) If you cannot get System Profiler to recognize iSight as a Firewire device after trying all relevant suggestions, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Since upgrading to Yosemite no printers listed under Print

Since upgrading to Yosemite, i cannot use my HP Officejet Pro 8500. No printers are in fact listed under the Printer&Scan function. I cannot download drivers ! I reinstalled the printer, using old cd and checked HP site for help... Any suggestion ? Thank you

If the HP is connected to the Mac via USB cable, then open an application called System Information, which is located under the Utilities folder under Applications. With System Information open, you will see an entry called USB in the left column. Select this and the top right pane will show all the USB busses in your Mac. The HP should be listed under one of these busses. If not, then try another USB cable or another USB port on the Mac.
If the HP is connected via WiFi, then it will most likely use the Bonjour protocol to advertise itself on the local network. Safari has the ability to show Bonjour devices on the network, which you can enable via the Safari Preferences > Advanced > Bonjour. With the Bonjour bookmark selected the HP should be listed as a local printer. If you don't see the HP then check its network settings to ensure it is connected to your wireless router.

I purchased an iBook on my iPad air and all software updates are done but the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

I Purchased a book in iBooks on my iPad air with all updates complete 8.0.2 and the book is listed under purchased and will not open to view

Tapping the icloud arrow should get it to download to your bookshelf and it should then get 'downloaded' against it in Purchased instead of the arrow. See if any of the following fix it :
- close the iBooks app via the device's taskbar and then re-open the app and re-try downloading it : iOS: Force an app to close.
- soft-reset of the device : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
- log out and back into your account : select the Featured tab in the app, scroll to the bottom of it, tap on your id and log out, and then log back in

Hi Little Orchard,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you downloading to a computer or an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch? I would first suggest signing out of the iTunes Store and restarting your computer or device. Then log in and look for your purchases again. If you are still not able to access your content the article below will get you connected with the iTunes Store Support.
