Atv romote is changing my computer as well as my atv

When ever I use the atv remote to change something on the TV it changes on my macbook as well. Does anyone know why this happens and how to stop it?

If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

How do I re-install iTunes so that when I delete a song from iTunes I have the option to remove it from my computer as well?

I created multiple libraries and multiple locations for music of different genres; however, in the end I decided that I wanted to keep all of my music in one location and to have just one iTunes library. The problem is that when I go to delete a song from my iTunes library, I no longer have the option to remove the file from my computer as well. This is because the my iTunes library and the location of my music files were not in my iTunes music folder (http://forums.ilounge.com/itunes-mac-pc/119629-delete-songs-itunes-library-compu ter-together.html). I tried changing the iTunes Media Folder location (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364), but that didn't solve. Then I tried reinstalling iTunes: I figured that starting fresh would put my iTunes library in the right location so that I would have this option again, but it didn't work. (When reinstalling, I got an error message that 6D5Dubs, the name of my last iTunes library, couldn't be found. I clicked 'OK' and was asked to 'Choose was asked to 'Choose library...' or 'Create Library'. I created a library since I had deleted the other ones in my attempt to start fresh) Any suggestions? Note: I find the CTRL+R solution tedious for my purposes.
Some extra info:
Running Windows 7, 64bit
Location of my music files - C:\Users\John\Music\Music
or
Libraries>Music>Music
Location of my iTunes library - C:\Users\John\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library
or
Libraries>Music>iTunes>Itunes Music Library

I purchased my photoshop cs6 extended about 2 years ago when I was enrolled in college. I graduated and I'm about to enroll to get my BA. My question is, if I want to change the computer where my photoshop is located or if I want to use it on my laptop

I purchased my photoshop cs6 extended about 2 years ago when I was enrolled in college. I graduated and I'm about to enroll to get my BA. My question is, if I want to change the computer where my photoshop is located or if I want to use it on my laptop and my desktop, do i have to wait until I enroll again or do I have to purchase the product again in order to put it on another computer?

Well that does change the story. If you purchased a PC version of CS6, the license is PC only. It can only be installed on a second PC for your own use.
If you buy a Mac, you would either buy another $350 copy of Photoshop Mac, or agree to a swap, that is exchange the PC license for a Mac license, giving up all rights to the PC license.
If you have the disposable income for it, get a $350 Photoshop Extended Mac license as well.

HT2404 I have a 2011 macbook pro 13". I am trying download software for the clear network and it won't let me saying I'm running in a 64 bit mode and I need to change my computer to a 32 bit mode before downloading. Is that possible and how do I do it?

I am trying to download software for the clear internet network. It is telling me that I am running in a 64 bit mode and
need to be in a 32 bit mode to run their software....can I and how do I change it to a 32 bit mode?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

How can I change my computer name

My work computer is named the previous person who had it who's not hear any more.
Now it says the name is: "his name - my name"
How can I change the name to just my name?
Thx,
Steven

Thanks Eric. I note a few differences though.
First there is no "Users & Groups" icon in the top level of System Prefs. However while exploring I found under "Sharing" you can change the computer's name there. One would think it's in Accounts, but it's not. I did add myself as an Admin when I first got here but that just appended my name with a hyphen to the previous employee name
So I changed Computer name to my name in the field in Sharing and then saw there's an Edit button. There you can change the lost hostname, whatever that is. I shouldn't do these things without knowing, I know, but I changed it but it doesn't allow spaces and adds hyphens. Since I have a Home comper, I named this work computer differently and hypens were added plus the suffix; .local.
There is a "Use dynamic global hostname checkbox which was unchecked so I left it that way. Do you know what the global hostname does and if I need to check it? What happens when you do?
Making the local hostname: my name-V1-Computer.Local, didn't change the Computer name field when you return to it. It still has the name I gave it before assigning the .local name.
But if I go into MM for example and then Advance to see which computers sync to MM, I see my home computer and work computer which is still named: previous emloyee's Computer - Steven Lastname (This Computer). So obviously the complete computer name hasn't changed.
The article you give above gets you to the Directory Utility in Utilities to change the Root info.
It says after open the lock icon: Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
But the only thing to do in the main Directory Utility is: Add/configure a Directory server, again don't know what that does, but clicking it all you can do is set the drop down to: Open Directory or Active Directory, fill in the Server Name or IP Address field.
There are no fields for "enter admin account and pw" which I assume is me since I'm listed that way in Sys Prefs > Accounts, and the only Admin listed for this computer.
So I'm at an impasse. I don't see why this is all sy cryptic, but assume it's for security purposes. Well it's working. I can config my own computer
Am way of the beaten path? In a parallel universe? Or close?
Sorry for long email, but hopefully this will end up being a good tutorial for the next happless chap that can't rename his/her computer.

If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

How to change the computer name

I need to change the computer name but after this I cannot access to the historical data (printing alarms).
I have already changed the settings in Options->System and restarted the system.
With MAX 3.0 I can see that all the alarm records are stored with the old computer name \\computer name\process\....
How can I do to read the old alarms with the new computer name?
Thank you
Michael

Hi,
When you change the computer name in Options>>System, you are not changing the name of the computer. Rather, you are telling Lookout to log to either a remote or local system. Here are the specifics:
1. Computer Name: Name you want the traces to appear with (\\computer_name\process\...)
2. Default Computer: Computer you want to log to. If the name listed here is different than your computer's name (as seen by Windows), then it will attempt to log directly to that remote machine.
3. Default Path: Directory on either your local or remote machine that you want to log to.
To change the name of your local computer, you will need to do that in Windows. If you have WinXP, you can do this by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Computer Name.
Go
od Luck

How can I change which computer taht is my main?

How can I change which computer that is my main without loosing all my APPS, all my music etc when I sync?
When I first used my iPhone i was on my work computer, but now I can't sync it on my home computer without loosing all data? That isn't a good design solution at all.
Is there any way to change the authentication from my work computer to my home?
There should really be a better way to solve this, instead of forcing alot of users to "Choose" only 1 computer, I mean I believe many have maybe 2 or 3 computers that they want to use there iDevices on... Please help me!

How do I change my computer back to being able to use American cds and dvds? I accidentally changed it when I was in Europe and can't figure out how to change it back.

I went to Europe and watched some movies on my computer that were made there. I would just change my computer back and forth from American to European movies. I didn't notice that you could only do that 5 times. On my fifth switch I changed it to European and now I am unable to change it back and I am back in the US. How can I change this back?

Try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select the US.

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?
I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.
