Airdrop is working, but only showing one computer.

So I have a macpro and a macbook pro, both preinstalled with Lion. My macbook pro can see my macpro airdrop, but not the other way. I mean I guess I can just use basic networking, but would like to figure this out. What settings can I check on my macpro to make it visible in airdrop?
Thanks!

Well, I found the cause of the problem. Turns out I was running iStumbler at the same time and this was causing the problem.

Launch Application On Login- BUT only on one computer

Hi,
I am trying to get the application "SoundSource" to open automatically on login for every user who logs in to a computer, but only on that specific computer.
Mac OS 10.4 Intel

Thanks,

I was wondering if there was a Server involved, & while I know very little about LDAP, I think once it is available in each account, you could still do that, but you may need to but a delay script in ahead of it to wait for the connection.
There are other ways to do it, but I'm not sure how/if they'd work since an account has to login first.
Any chance you could just store/have that APP on the Mac in question?

Mail slow to access gmail - but only on one computer

In my office are an iMac and a MacBook Pro, both with Mavericks and latest Mail updates, both on the same network.
The iMac is often an hour behind the MBP to receive the same gmails. Why? I've found that it helps to shut dow Mail and reopen it.
(I also have three iOS devices accessing the same gmail accounts - it's only the one iMac which is slow)
Thanks!

Iphone seems to be working but only shows apple logo, itunes sees the phone normally, when i restored it appeared successful and itunes tried activating my phone but the screen only shows apple logo nothing else???

my iphone is detected in itunes as normal, but screen on the phone only shows apple logo??? restored and everything but no difference its weird, it restores successfully and stuff but once done the screen only shows apple logo.. note:while restoring everything goes through as normal on the phone it shows the bar loading etc.. but once complete just stays on apple logo.

It can take a few minutes to reinitialize, but if it stays on the Apple logo for as much as 10 minutes there is something seriously wrong. Try restoring again, and set up as a new phone rather than installing your backup. If this fixes it you have a corrupt backup. If this doesn't fix it the phone is broken. Or possibly jailbroken.

Router interfering with Facetime, but only on one computer

Hey all,
I have a tricky problem here. I've been having issues with Facetime working on my desktop. It would work for a short moment (when first booted, or after turning facetime off and on again) before it would stop receiving or making calls properly. After much tinkering, I solved the issue by placing the desktop in the router's DMZ (outside of the firewall) and now it works flawlessly and can make and receive calls without any issues.
So my question is: Why is this only the case with the desktop? All the other devices I have (macbook pro, ipad, iphone) all have facetime working perfectly without the need to place them in the DMZ at all, yet the desktop is having trouble with my router?
The only difference is that the other devices are all connected through the router's Wifi while the desktop is plugged in by ethernet, if that helps at all. I just can't seem to figure out why this one device is having trouble with Facetime connected to the same router as all the other ones.
The router in question is a D-Link DIR-615.

Correction: Turns out, the same problem does occur with the Macbook Pro I have....
So basically, only the ipad and iphone seem to be able to operate flawlessly without interference. Both computers are being blocked by the router's firewall. Tried port forwarding... that didn't fix it. Only works when the computer is placed in DMZ.
So then the question is: Why both the iPad and iPhone have no issues with this but the two Macs do?

38 versions in project but only showing one image

I downloaded 38 photos to Aperture 3. I adjusted colour etc . Now when I open that project it shows only one image, however when I put the cursor over the name of the project in the library list it states there's 38 versions. Can anyone suggest where the other 37 might be hiding? I can't figure out where to look for them.

Why does FireFox truncate part of an E-mail of more than one page when I try to print it out? How can I sent an E-mail blaet to several but only show one name o

When I try to print out an E-mail that is longer than one page, part of the 2nd page is truncated. I then have to go to Safari to print out the entire E-mail without part of it being truncated.
When I have multiple E-mail addresses on a single E-mail, how can I send the E-mail so that each recipient only sees his/her name and E-mail address rather than everyone else that the E-mail is addressed to?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

Hello,
Before I continue my post, I would like to say that I have read this section on the wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AL … ack_Issues
It asks the user to edit /etc/asound.conf (which does not exist) in order to comment out a few lines that will fix the problem. It's quite frustrating to need to close all audio using programs every time I want to play audio. I do not have pulseaudio installed. I tried installing OSS4 in order to fix the problem, but for some reason my kernel headers were not detected and I couldn't start the daemon. I would appreciate it if someone could reply to me and tell me what the problem could be.
Thanks,
Dragos

Why are all of my mail servers are offline, but only on one computer?

I have seven email accounts. Two are MobileMe, two are gmail. All are IMAP.
The mail settings on my MacBook Pro are identical to the mail settings on my Mac Pro and my iPhone, but I can't send mail from my MacBook Pro. I can receieve email on the MacBook Pro and I'm currently typing this posting on it as well, so it's not as if I'm not connected to the internet.
Any ideas?

Do not worry i have exact the same when saying offline and have no idea why this was on yesterday but today this gone by itself now so im sure u be ok next day or so.....gudluck

Imessage is not working, but only for one particular contact.

I cannot send/recive imessages from one particular contact, messages are sent as SMS. All other contacts are fine with imessaging, so why just this particular one? Please help??!!

If you can send imessage to other users execpt for this one particular person. Then the issue would be with him/her and not your phone. That person will have to figure out whats going on.

E-Mail Issues: Retrieved E-Mails deleting off server but only on one of two accounts

I am the proud owner of a Z10 as of 4 days ago. So far, it's a great device, but I've got one problem. I want the e-mail messages retrieved on my phone to stay on the server, and this is working, but only for one account.
I setup my two e-mail accounts, Comcast and GMail, both as POP accounts. I did not setup GMail as IMAP. I tested the connections to see that the messages were properly retrieved on the phone, then I logged into each account to see that the messages were staying on the server. It appeared as though they were, but apparently I didn't wait long enough on the GMail account because the messages were being deleted from the server and I didn't notice this for 3 days. Again, my phone is NOT doing this for my Comcast account and I don't know why.
I have about 10 e-mails now on my phone in my GMail account that I can't seem to get back on the GMail server. I need to do this so I can download the messages to my home server where all my mail is stored.
I thought maybe I could create a second IMAP GMail account in the hub and copy the messages from one account to the other, but I can't.
If I continue to let the phone get those messages, they'll continue to be removed from the server.
If I forward them to myself, then they just show up as having come from me and that's not what I need either.
If I delete the account entirely, I lose my messages and that's definitely not what I want.
I thought I could tell the phone to stop logging into the GMail account by updating the password on the device, but it has to authenticate to the server to confirm that the password is correct, and if it isn't, it won't take the password and returns an error.
So far, the only thing I've been able to do to get the phone to stop retrieving the messages is to change my GMail password and not update it on the phone. That way, the phone can't sign in to GMail at all and get any new mail. However, I still have these 10 messages on my device that I need to export somehow.
Is there a way to export mail on this device? Is there a way to copy messages from account to account? What directory is the mail stored in and what file format is it stored in? Can I convert the messages to .csv and do it that way? And why did this happen only for my GMail POP account and not Comcast?

This is a wi-fi network connection problem - not a problem with an email account.
Do you have cellular reception at home? If so, you should be able to receive email with both email accounts as long as you have an internet connection with the cellular network.
On your iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings.
This will delete all wi-fi network settings from your iPhone for every wi-fi network you have successfully connected your iPhone with.
After doing so check if your wi-fi network is available again to re-join.

Some of my songs in iTunes show up but they won't play. I get the message that my computer isn't authorized to play them when I only have one computer.

I recently did the update for iTunes and after I did that I got the error message: MSVCR80.dll file not found. I followed the suggestions from someone in this community to fix it and now some of my songs aren't playing. And they are the ones that I purchased from iTunes not CDs that I have and ripped to my iTunes library. I can see the songs listed in my iTunes library as well as on my iPod but yet they won't play. On my computer I get the message that this computer is unauthorized to play them and to authorize it. I only have one computer, so I have no idea why I'm getting this message. And does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get all of the iTunes songs to play again?

Hello Angel82co,
It sounds like you have some songs in your library that are not playing, and when you try to play them you are being told the computer is not authorized to play them. I would start by verifying that your computer is still authorized, and take note of the Apple ID that you sign in with:
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
From: iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If the issue persists, next I would use the following article to double check that these songs were purchased under the same Apple ID you used to authorize the computer:
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
Open iTunes
Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
Choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab.
The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
If it is the same Apple ID then I would next delete the song, and re download it from your purchased history, with this article named:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
