Another shared computer showing up on my computer

Hello - a couple of days ago, I used AirPort to go online. Usually, as soon as I shut down Airport, all of the Shared networks get shut down as well, however, there is still one network showing under 'Shared', and I am completely off Airport. It says the computer name, then 'Connection Failed'. How can I get rid of this? Thanks!

I did disconnect from Wi-Fi, and I also clicked on Open Network Preferences, then turned it off from there. I've never seen this before, so I was concerned... is there another way to 'get rid' of it? Thanks!

  • Shared computer

    I just noticed that another shared computer showed up in the left bar. How can I delete the sharing privileges for this computer. I don't know who it is or what it is. The name is brneb76a9.
    I did just install a brother color laser printer on my home network. Could it be that the printer is brneb76a9?
    I tried disconnecting the printer but the sharing for brneb76a9 did not go away.
    Thank you

    I think this is my printer configured under the Bonjour networking application. I did not have to do anything at all, the printer was configured and available immediately.

  • Unknown shared computer shows up

    Hi everyone,
    I have used Mac OS X since version 10.1, so I know it quite well. However, since I have upgraded to 10.5, a computer shows up under "shared" in the Finder. It was never my intention to connect to any computer, but one named uw-uy155rr0hdft (a pc server) keeps showing up. Sometimes it disappears (after a reboot), but whenever I download something through Safari, it appears again.
    I am worried that someone might have broken into my system (is this even possible on a Mac?), since I never wanted to connect to this PC in the first place. On the plus side, whenever I click on this shared computer, the connection fails. How can I remove this shared computer from my system? Thank you very much in advance.

    This recently happened to me as well. "Computer2007" is what showed up along with another name. I'm behind 2 routers on a wired connection so I'm not sure what it could have been. I disconnected my modem, restarted my comp, changed my firewall options and enabled stealth mode. Nothing shows up now.

  • I have bought my husband his own i pad and we both need to use our own on a shared computer. will the two apple IDs show as separate on the i tunes or do I need two different I tune programs?

    Each device is different and will only sync what you select

  • In finder, I have periodically a "shared" PC showing up. I have Java, I think someone is trying to access my computer but i cannot find anything when I click on the shared item, just a PC with numbers.

    hp3cd92ba6f70c. I have tried removing it from finder from the previuos discussions instuctions  but cannot. I have two mac laptops, Ipad and two iphones that connect wifi. Not a PC in the house., Ideas? do they have access to my computer? Has someone broken through to my wifi?

    When you turn on your Mac is will search for any computers that it's possible to connect to. You can't connect with any of them unless you and other computer user set up a sharing network.
    It's like looking through a window. You can see someone on the other side but can't communicate with them unless you open the window and shout at them.

  • Why is very long (about 30 seconds) to connect another distant computer using Screen Sharing under Yosemite ?

    Hello,
    Before Yosemite (under Mavericks and less), it was possible to connect immediately another distant computer (over internet) with Screen Sharing (using Command-K or on Finder Menu-Go and submenu Connect To The Server, and putting the address like vnc://name:password@address
    Under Yosemite, it is possible to do the same things, but it takes about 30 seconds to get connection (is it the evolution of the celerity of the computing ?). And also, I have 2 windows during the waiting of connection : one is with icon of ScreenSharingApplication and 'Connecting to        …com', and the second one is with icon of a BlueHardDiskwith3people and 'Connecting…'.
    Under Yosemite, if I use Chicken of the VNC or JellysFastVNC, the connection is immediately.
    Could you tell me how is it possible to have under Yosemite a quick connection (about 0 to 5 seconds) with a distant computer (over internet) using Screen Sharing (command-K for example) ?
    Thanks.

    William,
    Eventually (after about 30 hours or so) it finished the encryption.  I then forced TM do a backup to the external HDD (after adding a 1GB file to my internal HDD) just to measure how long it would take for TM to run a backup to the external disk -- and it was very fast.  Looks like everything is working fine now. 
    Without your advice that 24+ hours wasn't unreasonable time for a first encryption of a drive that size,  I probably would have kept restarting my iMac and repartioning the external HDD and gone around in circles.
    Thank you very much.

  • All of a sudden my home sharing computer is showing up multiple times on my apple TV.

    All of a sudden my home sharing computer is showing up multiple times on my apple TV.  When I go into the home sharing selection my computer shows up 2-3 times.  It is now happening on both my 2nd and 3rd gen Apple TV.  Does anyone else have this?  How do I fix this?  Thanks!

    Weird.  Restart everything including your router.

  • How do I stop another person using their own Apple ID accessing my Itunes library on a shared computer?

    My daughter and I have our own Itunes libraries on a shared computer.  However we can access each others libraries by using our own Apple ID.  This causes a problem because she was able to access my account and delete some music by mistake.  Is their a way that I can ensure no one can access my music?
    Thanks

    Emma,
    If two people have separate libraries on the same computer, it is best to put them into two separate Windows User accounts.
    Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Add User Accounts, and get her set up in a separate user account.  Then move all her stuff there and from then on the two of you can operate independently on the same computer.

  • Shared computer showing up in Finder not part of my network

    Hello,
    I am very confused on what is going on here. Basically, I am at a friends house and have my MacBook connected directly with an Ethernet chord. There are no other connections going out of the DSL box/Router because there is only one output for internet. It's the generic one that comes with internet installation.
    That being said, in the sidebar of my Finder window there is a computer listed under shared called "office" and I am capable of viewing all of the files on this computer.
    The only other computer in the house is a Windows 98 Desktop computer, and does not have the same files on it, nor is it even connected to the internet.
    Like I said, this is a direct connection, no wireless router.
    If it matters, I was previously in town using unsecured wifi from local businesses and then came home, plugged in the ethernet, and the shared computer popped up.
    When I disconnect the ethernet, the shared computer goes away.
    I am completely boggled on how this can be occuring.

    Do you have your MacBook's AirPort turned on? You are likely picking up an unsecured WiFi router and attached computer network.

  • Just started home sharing with another computer, if I sync my iphone will it load my music to the newly shared computer?

    I just started home sharing for the first time. I just wanted to know if i sync my iphone with it will it load my music from the other computer onto the newly shared computer. Or are they supposed to have diffrent stuff in them? ( if so, if i sync my phone to the one with nothing will i loose the music thats on it?)

    The computer you sync your phone with has no relevance to home sharing. Home sharing between the 2 computers allows you to see, play and import items on the second computer from the first and vice versa.
    Whichever computer you sync your phone with, new purchases will be added to that computer and therefore be able to be seen, played and imported by the other.
    I rather thought that's what you wanted, it can be realised without changing the computer you sync your phone to. Of course if you want to change the computer your phone syncs with, you can, you just don't need to, to get the items on it onto both computers.

  • How do I access iTunes on a shared computer?

    My computer died, I am using a shared computer and the other user already has iTunes under his own account.  Is there any way to access my iTunes account on this computer without doing anything to his iTunes?

    yes it is. its all linked. dont you see?
    how do i get itunes on a different computer? is the title of the thread.
    i have the same problem. the computer one of our itunes was on broke. it was replaced. apple dont cater for this. you can only link an apple device to one itunes. so if the computer is replaced, you are stuffed!!
    i installed another itunes on another computer and the original ipod wont sync with it or allow itunes to download the latest ipod operating system.
    the easiest thing to do would be to buy a new ipod (clear of content) and a new pc. install itunes on the pc, create a new apple ID and voila - can then start to put music and apps back on ipod and have the lastest and greatest OS.
    expensive i admit, but surely far less painful then any alternative?

  • How to setup iTunes on shared computer so others cant buy music at my expns

    I want to use iTunes on my work computer (which other people sometimes use) without allowing others to purchase music on my credit card.
    Background: I've been using iTunes at home for 2 years and had an iPod for 13 months. I like how iTunes works.
    I staff an elementary school computer lab. I have 500-1000 mp3 files there that we've played in the past using Winamp or Windows media player. But I prefer how iTunes works and organizes music and I'd like to use it there.
    I recently installed iTunes on my admin workstation at school and I am moving our music into its library. But many iTunes features will not work unless I set up an account with a credit card for automatic purchasing. If I do that, how can I prevent others from making purchases on my credit card?
    Yesterday I signed in there using my apple id. But I notice that moved my shopping cart and that only two clicks will add purchases to my credit card.
    I have a coworker who uses this computer every morning, and other teachers and students use it from time to time. I don't want them to accidentally make purchases on my credit card.
    I do not plan to move my home iTunes library (about 6000 items) to the school computer nor to synch my iPod there.
    So what should I do? Set up a new acct there with a credit card that I seldom use? Is there any way to require a password for purchases but not for using the iTunes library and store?

    I think I will set up a separate acct name and
    password, different from what I use at home.
    > Don't do that.
    You iTunes account is not linked to specific computer
    or location.
    If you set up a different iTunes account, you will
    have songs from 2 different accounts you need to keep
    track of.
    There is no need to ever have to create a new iTunes
    account. If you move, get a new ISP, change email
    addresses, etc. just change your account to reflect
    the new stuff.
    Thanks, but I already did set up a new acct today, with a password required. I used a password that my job partner also knows and an old credit card I never use. I did that because I noticed iTunes wouldn't let me download there the weekly free music that I had already downloaded at home.
    I thought there was a limit of 5 computers you can have music on. Is that right? I have shared a few purchased songs with my son and my uncle, which required me to authorize their computers. (ITunes said my uncle's was #4, which means there's another mystery computer somewhere authorized to play my music!)
    I'd like teachers to be able to buy a song they need by giving me $1 and buying it on the spot, rather than expecting me to look for it at night at my home.
    I think this will work. We'll see ...

  • Can i download to ipod using an Itunes sharing computer?

    Hellooooo ~
    My original Itunes install is on a Mac 10.3.9. My Itunes sharing computer is a Windows XP. The sharing over the local network seems to be working fine. I have not yet purchased an IPOD. QUESTION: Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
    Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
    thanks for any helpppppp.
    very truly yours

    Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
    No, iTunes library sharing only allows you to listen to music in the shared library.
    Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
    Yes, use the network to copy the files from the Mac to the PC.

  • I would like to make one static copy of Firefox, so I can restore it if I have a hard drive crash, or if I want to upgrade my internal disk, or if I want to have a duplicate on another replacement computer.

    Hi tchmielewski,
    You should look into [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync Firefox Sync]. I think it will do everything that you are asking for. This will allow you to have all of your Firefox preferences and settings shared across multiple computers.
    You could also create a backup on a USB drive in case of catastrophic failture. I would suggest that you back up your personal information and bookmarks using the article [[Backing up your information]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Office 365 ProPlus Shared Computer Activation on non-persistent VDI

    Hello everybody
    We've different customers that are using a non-persistent VDI solutions like VMWare Horizon or Citrix provisioning.
    Some of the customers wants to license the Office Suite via Office 365 ProPlus.
    When configuring Office 365 ProPlus with Shared Computer Activation and without AD FS we've the behaviour where users needs to login each time to Login to a machine, because after signou the machin gets restored.
    Is the only solution the one described in
    this article by using AD FS or is there another solution to perhaps store the provided Office 365 credentials and licensing information.
    As I'm aware a Office 2013 volume license Version cannot be used anymore starting on 1. August 2015 if licensed over Office 365 ProPlus because the use-righst for a volume license version are being removed.
    Thank you for clarification on that, because I'm not able to find on official statemant.
    Kind regards

    ADFS should be the primary choice for your case. In addition to this there are a variety of qualified third party identity providers that can be connected with Office 365 to provide the necessary single sign-on.
