Apple Device Names not always showing

Hello,
Just about 48 hours ago I had a system shut down and after I reset the Time capsule and two AirPort Expresses, I noticed when I clicked on any device in the Airport Utility that no device names were listed, just the Wi-Fi Address detail, why? And is there a a fix.
Thank You

That is the way it now works.
Here is mine this morning.. sometimes you get names.. sometimes you get MAC addresses.. Mostly now just MAC addresses. There are no controls to what you see.
There is a full summary page.. you hold down option key and double click the TC icon.. that will allow you some more info about the client. But not the name.
To find the names you will need to do a netstat scan..
Or load 5.6 utility somehow .. so you can actually find some more info.
Because I stuck with Mountain Lion i can have 5.6 utility as well and therefore have real info.
2 steps forward with each release.. and 3 backwards.

Album names not always showing up in browser

I installed iTunes 7.3 on my MBP (running 10.4.10) this morning, and since then at least one album in my iTunes library have begun to behave strangely. When I use the browser in list view and go to the artist or when I'm showing all artists, the album in question (A Matter of Life and Death by Iron Maiden) doesn't show up. However, it will show up if i search for a song title on the album, and it has the artists and album fields correctly filled out. Once I then go back to browsing all albums or artists, A Matter Of Life And Death is no longer listed. I've already tried removing the files from my library and reimporting them with no luck.
Has anyone else experienced something like this or have any ideas of how to fix it? I know its a slightly convoluted description, but its also a very random problem that none of my co-workers have seen yet. Thanks.

Yup. It wasn't there originally. However, after several reboots of iTunes and my computer and re-imports of the songs, it now works. Thanks for the response though.

Networked Macs Not Always Showing Up In Network In Finder - On One Mac

The problem is that awake and running networked macs do not always show up in Network on the Finder. Sometimes they do and sometimes they do not. The problem happens fequently on one machine. Very similar questions have been posted on this. I suspect many are dancing around the same issue. I am hoping to get to the bottom of this.
All the OS X machines are running 10.4.9. Two are networked by Airport. The Airport and the problem iMac, an older G3, are wired to a LAN. On the LAN sits a PPC 7200 running OS9 IpNetRouter serving up IP addresses for all the connected devices, including printers. IpNetRouter also provides an internet connection out through a second ethernet card. The PPC 7200 drive is always reliably available for connecting to in the Finder.
Each of the OS X machines are set for Personal File Sharing only, with Firewall running, and without Stealth Mode enabled.
The problem is noticed on the wired Mac. Perhaps that is the key to this. The problem is not two way. The Finder on the wireless Macs shows the wired Mac in Network when the wired Mac is not showing the wireless Mac. Sometimes only one of the wireless Macs shows on the wired Mac. When that happens it is always the wireless eMac instead of the wireless Intel Mac.
When this problem occurs, it is always possible to connect to the "missing" wireless Macs by using their local IP address reported by IpNetRouter. It is not possible to do the same using the computer name of the Mac that should be visible in Network or by using its DHCP client ID.

No Macs are sleeping, but they might have been in the past. They don't show up when they are sleeping. These machines are often on for days. All are updated on a regular basis, including in the past two days.

I purchased a Holux M-1200E Bluetooth GPS Data Logger. The device paired with my laptop just fine so I know it is working right. The device will not even show up on my iphone or ipad to pair via bluetooth. Is there a way to pair without jailbreaking???

I haven't had any trouble to date pairing any devic with my iphone or ipad, this is ridiculous!!!! Is there a way to update my bluetooth settings on my iphone 4s to be able to have this device be recognized??? I love my apple devices, but this is very frustrating. I bought this Data Logger for a specific purpuse to help out with my Search and Rescue volunteer activities, and I really need help with this!!! I am hoping apple will help me!!!
Thanks,

I looked at the same sight for that and it does not say that. This is the first time I have posted a question, you don't have to be mean about it. I am trying to get this to work for a good cause.
It may be the best source of assistance is the manufacturer of the device. I suspect you will need a specific app for the iPhone to get it to work, but the site is rather ambiguous about that.

HT3180 When trying to play itunes and slideshows from my Mac book to Apple TV the small icon on the bottom right of the screen which switches between Computer and Apple TV doesn't always show up, and therefore the function doesn't work. What's up?

We are trying to play playlists and a slideshow from an Apple Macbook wirelessly to the Apple TV. The small, upward arrow icon that appears on the bottom right of the screen (which allows you to pick Computer or Apple TV) doesn't always show up, and therefore, we can't get it to work. Any thoughts?

Airplay mirroring software will not work with anything below Mountain Lion 10.8 and an Apple computer from 2011 or newer.

Go to "About this Mac" and tell us:
1. What OS X version you are running
And then click on "More Info" and tell us
1. What year is your Macbook.
Also tell us a little about your cable and Wireless setup.
Maybe we can help.

USB Drives not always showing Finder

I currently have two USB Drives connected through a powered hub and they do not always show in the Finder window. Also when I pug in a USB memory stick it does the same thing.
I am new to Mac, I love it but this really bugs me. is there a setting somewhere, what is happening? If I disconnect then re-plug in the memory stick it shows up. What is really funny, that doing this also causes the missing USB drives to show up......

I tried that, but still no go with a thumbdrive. I can go to "Computer", and the USB drive shows up under that. All my other USB external HDs, my iDisk, and even FireWire drives show up on the left pane of the finder, just not the USB stick.
Any ideas?

Files do not always show in finder when accessing server

When I access our server(PC) files do not always show up in the finder. Sometimes it shows and sometimes it does not. I have to go back and start over. I recently updated to Snow when this problem started happening. Example. If i'm in illustrator and want to open a file on the server I will go to server than to the folder on the server. once the folder is open there is not any files showing. If I go back and start over they will be there. Sometimes I have to do this several time to show files. There are multiple type of files in the folders and none of them show. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When you are viewing the tracks on the hard disc, did you then click on "Import CD"? This is needed to initiate the importing process that will add the tracks to your library.

Notes always show in the inbox

In the mail program notes always show in the inbox as well as the reminders tab which is an annoyance as I do not want them to always show in the inbox.
Is there a way to only have them display in the reminders section.
Thanks in advance for any help, Kenneth.

Sorry but the answer came as related posts after I posted the question.
Regards, Kenneth.

Thanks,

Tom wants you to run Disk Utility from the install disc and then select your boot volume and then click "Repair Disk" to check and correct any directory problems. That will not erase any data files on the disc. If Disk Utility actually makes repairs, do another "Repair Disk" operation, as sometimes one repair will uncover another error. Stop when it gives the volume a clean bill of health without making any repairs. Then restart the machine and see how things work.

Help. I accidentally formatted by the device name not the volume name when trying fresh install osx Mountain lion.

I was trying to do a fresh instal of Mountain Lion. By fresh I mean clean.
Firstly, my iMac disc drive isn't really working to well, so I have Mountain Lion on a usb.
I started up and held the option key.
Entered into disc utility mode, and started doing everything correct.
Then near at the end I when i'm required to select a start up disc it doesnt show anything... Help?
I checked around online and saw this tutorially and notice I had done something different.
http://macs.about.com/od/MountainLion/ss/How-To-Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Mountain-Lion-On-A-Startup-Drive.htm
on page 2. where it says
When Disk Utility opens, select your Mac's startup volume from the list of devices. If you never changed its name, the startup volume will be listed as Macintosh HD. Be sure to select the volume name and not the device name, which will usually be the name of the physical drive, for instance, "500 GB WDC WD5."
I think I may have selected the device name. Is this the cause of my problem?
Can I fix this ? Please help?
I live in Auckland in New Zealand, I don't have any apple stores here

Ok, I realized that won't work, I don't think, because you can't enable it on your Mac.
However, if you have another Mac, you can use Firewire Target Disk Mode to install. Boot your Mac while holding down the T key. You will see a FireWire symbol on the screen. Then, connect the two with a Firewire cable. Your Mac hard drive will show up on the other. Try to install onto that.
This may not work, depending on the other Mac. If it is similar to yours, it should.
I'm not sure if you can do it the other way. If you put the DVD into the other Mac and boot it into Target Disk Mode, then boot yours holding down the option key, you may be able to select the DVD on the other Mac as the startup.
This very old article seems to indicate it will work: http://lowendmac.com/misc/06/0914.html

Apple devices will not print to Officejet 6700 including MacBook Pro and iPad

I am trying to help someone set up their MacBook Pro and iPad to be able to wirelessly print to their Officejet 6700. I recently set them up with a new Apple Airport Extreme for their router. The printer connects fine to the wireless network. Everything during the install process for the printer goes well, the MacBook easily sees the printer. The correct driver is installed. They also have a Windows 7 laptop that prints instanteously and has no issues whatsoever.
When I try to print from the Mac, nothing prints. I open the print queue and it shows "Printing - connected to printer..." and nothing ever comes of it. When trying to print from the iPad, it can see the printer and I select it. However, after telling it to print, the dialogue box just says "Connecting to Printer" and it never does - it just times out.
Things I've tried:
Everything in this article that is related to Macs (10.8).
Resetting the printing system on the Mac.
Resetting the printer to default settings.
Setting the static IP of the printer through the printer settings.
Setting the IP of the printer through the Airport Utility (after changing the printer to automatic).
Rebooting the Mac after each attempt to remove the printer and before adding again.
Using the official HP Officejet 6700 driver.
Using the Airprint driver.
Other info:
I can successfully ping the printer's IP address from the MacBook Pro.
I can easily see the web setup page for the printer both through the printer settings and by entering the IP address.
The printer is only about a month old.
They bought this printer because the previous one was having problems printing from all of their devices wirelessly. That was with a router from their previous ISP.
At this point, I'm completely stumped as to why the printer will not print from these Apple devices. We've dealt with every issue that could be causing it: the network, the printer, and the MacBook itself. I've looked online and can see no issues with people not being able to print to a wirelessly connected printer to an Airport Extreme. I've seen some issues when the printer is plugged in via USB to the Airport Extreme, but that is not our setup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
This question was solved.

Thank you very much for your help @Sunshyn2005!!!!! I think we're good to go now!
