Bonjour computer appears several times in finder sidebar. Why?

A computer on my network appears many times in the list of Bonjour computers. It looks like:
     Computer (14)
     Computer
     Computer (10)
     Computer (12)
Only one is actually active, but which one? clicking the others will just bring a delay and a spinning pizza while it fails to connect.
I am not sure if this is a Yosemite problem or not, but I've only noticed it since "up"grading both computers.
I also can't find any discussion categories that seem to apply.

I don't understand what SMB means.
I don't appear to have any file sharing turned on in either of my iMacs however printer sharing is turned on in the older 24"iMac and the new machine is printing via that. Could this be the explanation for "imac-95a8c4." appearing.
By the way it is never there if the 24" iMac is powered off but sometimes it is there if the 24"iMac is sleeping.

The apple tech on the phone, went to my control,panel
Went to my devices. Original iPad showed up,there In red and then he had me go,to apple website, download something and it said it could configure to my computer.
Is,finally answer,to me was go to the apple care,one on one appointment, and it's my "software"
A man I know told me "Apple at store, won't be able to do,anything for me"
That's not very positive.
What else? Can't I download iPad drivers,into my computer?

Unkown computer showing up on my finder sidebar under "shared"

Hi there,
I have an unkown computer showing up on my finder sidebar under "shared". The name of this shared computer is "technicolor". How can I disconnect and delete it? I suspect it is spyware or something similar as when I unplug the ethernet cable that connects to my modem, I can't connect to this computer. When I do connect it is empty.
OS 10.5.8
Note: I have had Parallels 4 (virtual PC XP) on my mac for a number of years and when that is running it comes up in the sidebar under "shared" but with the name I gave it when set up. So when running both names show.
I would appreciate some direction on how to get rid of this "shared" computer.
Thanks
Andrew

Somewhere on the network you are using is a computer with that name. If the network is wifi and it's yours, you should change the password on it immediately. If the network is wifi and it belongs to someone else, then talk to that person or stop using that other person's wifi network.
If you just want to get it out of your sidebar, you can choose to have the Finder window sidebar not show available shares. Go to Finder Preferences->General and un-check CONNECTED SERVERS.

My Mac is appearing multiple times in Finder

Since I've upgraded to Yosemite, my Mac is now listed multiple times (8) under Shared in Finder. The main device is listed as XXXX (8). When I used Bonjour Browser, it looks like they are being shared under Apple Remote Desktop XXXX (2), XXXX (3)....XXXX (8). How do I remove all of the multiple appearances and get back to one under Device? When I click on each one, nothing appears. I don't have any remote desktop software that I'm aware of.

I'm also having this issue on my MacBook Air. Started with Yosemite public beta 4. My machine is only listed once in the finder sidebar but with a number in parenthesis next to it. The number seems to slowly increase as the day goes on. I've only gotten the "there is already a machine with that name" dialog once when manually deleting the additional characters. It's not causing any issues but it sure is annoying, I have a bit of OCD where these things are concerned. I've done a few searches on the matter and it appears this also happens on older versions of OS X but I have yet to find a definite solution, or cause.

My Mac is appearing several times as a shared device

Since changing over to Yosemite, I find my Mac Pro is listed several times in the shared devices section in Finder. These are named my mac (3,4,5,7,8) Under Devices my mac appears as Mac (9). They disappear when I turn wifi off and reappear when it is turned on. Rebooting makes no difference.
I have clicked on these and it tries to connect but fails.
My Config is a mac pro, Have an iPhone 4 running ios7.3 and an iPad running is IOS8
Any thoughts on this.

Strange computer appearing in shared in Finder

In Finder, you can see computers in your "shared" column, and lately I see an unknown computer appear named mac002500d1524a. Does this mean another computer is hooked to my wireless network? I have seen many people with similar problems but I don't see a definite solution.
I am using Lion OS and Airport Express.

The "computer" that you see in the Finder under SHARED may be another user on one of your computers if they have more than one user. Depending on how your service provider's network operates, you may also see other devices there from time to time.
This does not necessarily mean that another computer is on your network. The way that you will know if another device is on your wireless network is as follows:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click directly on Wireless Clients (3rd line from the bottom) and a window will open to show the ID of each device that is connected to your wireless network.
If you want to know which device is which, turn off all of your wireless devices, then turn the wireless back on at one device. Jot down the name of the device along with the ID. Then do the same for other wireless devices on your network, one at a time. The idea is to get a list of all your devices. Don't forget iPhones, wireless printers, etc.
Then check for devices again on your network. If you have 3 wireless devices, and you see 4 devices on the wireless network, and one has an ID that you do not recognize, you may have an unwanted guest.

I keep getting "Unresponsive Script" errors in random "jsm" files several times a day. Why?

Several times a day I get "Unresponsive Script" popups as I browse the internet. They're almost always different. Sometimes its in tabbrowser, sometimes it has something to do with a YouTube page I have open, and sometimes it occurs when I try to save a file with the built-in download manager.
I don't know why it does this so often. I don't have many Addons.
I also copied the technical information about my browser to help out if it can identify why these Unresponsive Script Errors keep appearing.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I have a new ipad air, and the notes app does not work right. I write a note and it will keep it for several days, or weeks and then I go back to it later and it has disappeared. This has happened several times. Any ideas why?

I have a new ipad air and am having trouble with the "notes" app. When I write a note to keep, it will stay there for a few days or a week, and then it disappears. This has happened several times. Can anyone suggest why this is happening and how to fix it?

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Invoices or Incoming payment appear several times

Hello
We see on some customers statement invoices with the same amount and same document number twice and incoming payments same amount, same doc num three times
We sue SAP 2007 SP00 PL 39
What could be the issue because customer statement is obviously wrong...
Thank you
Guillaume

Hello
I modify my statement because what I said about incoming payment is wrong, the issue is only with invoices
I give you an example
Invoice amount is 249 euros
Customer statement you see 2 lines with 249 u20AC and other invoices have a single line only... so I do not think it could be linked to payment terms
Regarding PL01 we have an addon which has not been tested with PL01 so we do not want to upgrade before it is tested...
Thank you

Despite removing my number from their devices several times I find that my families apple products are still readding my number by themselves and recieving my messages.

We share an account, is there anyway to stop this? It's very annoying.

I will try one more time to make certain you are doing what should work. You can all share the same Apple ID, and you can associate multiple email addresses with the Apple ID. Each device has to have the Send and Receive appropriate email for that person checked but no check mark by the other person's address. To do this you would go into iMessage under Settings in each device and make certain the Start new messages from is also checked next to the correct email only.

MSI GT683 -Graphics problem = computer fried several times

hello..
first i would like to say sorry for my bad english.
i brought a MSI GT683 for little over 2 years ago because i wanted to play D3. the first 3-4 months i was playing battlefield3 because d3 was not release yet and the laptop was working with no problems. when i startet playing diablo3 i startet to experience hard FPS drop. from runing 100+ FPS it would drop to 5 fps for 10 secs every minute. after 2 weeks the laptop just shut down and i sent it to repair shop. they told me the grapiccard was fried. so after 1 month i got it back and began playing D3 and it worked fine for 2 weeks until it startet FPS drops again and 2 weeks later the laptop shut down again and again i sent it to the repair shop. and they told me the grapiccard and memory was fried. when i got it back 1 month later i decided to not play diablo3 again (what actually was the reason i brought the laptop) after the insurance ran out i fear to play games with average grapic
i have never had an MSI before this. but i used so much money on this laptop so its hard for me to see my little brothers 6-7 year old computer runs better than my expensive laptop.. this expercience with MSI gaming laptops has really disapointed me because my friends said i should buy an MSI because they where build for gaming.. i feel i have paied 1500 euros to play league of legends
does anyone with the same laptop (MSI GT683) have had any problems like that ?
Regards
Daniel
a dissapointed gamer :(

If you have reason to believe that the repair center did not repair or diagnose the laptop properly, then you have the full right to claim the repair under warranty even when Warranty is expired, up to 6 years after Purchase in Europe. The issue however is, that 6 months after purchase the burden of proof lies with the buyer.
In other words, if you can proof that the problem with your laptop is not caused by you(mishandling, user error, etc) then the retailer has to take it in for repair under warranty.
So the question is, have you been using the laptop on surfaces that it is not intended for? IN example, are you using the laptop on your bed, your lap etc while its venting and heating ports are closed off? Thus not allowing any fresh air to come in?
Have you meddled with the fan speeds of the laptop?
Edit : Take in mind though that this EU directive is very hard to proof and stores, unless you literally press them with a copy of said directive, will try to get out of it and even if you show them directive they may still opt to go with the countries sales of goods act.
edit 2 : The directive in question is 1999/44/EC.

HT4962 Any ideas how to get my software updated on my IPOD 3rd Generation when my computer times out? I have tried several times and it appears to take 30 plus hours. How Frustrating, not to mention the kids are too!

If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

Other iMac appears as Bonjour computer AND Connected Server

Is this right? In Finder preferences I have Connected servers and Bonjour computers set to show in the sidebar. My wife's iMac appears as both a Bonjour computer AND a Connected server. We have two PC's here as well and they appear (correctly) as Bonjour computers. My iMac appears as Connected server only on wife's iMac.
It's not really a problem but you know how it is - you just want everything to be right. So is there a reason for this that I can fix?
Thanks.

Just thought I'd mention that if I try to connect to wife's iMac through Bonjour the connection fails.
