File sharing afp:// address not computer name

Just setting up my new iMac and the file sharing afp:// address does not match the computer's name (Brute Squad), it's pulled in my old PowerBook's name (Alumen). I'm assuming it came from my Apple/iCloud account since that was the only computer I had registered when I set the iMac up. Restarting didn't help. Any ideas?

You can change the computer name in the System Preferences > Sharing pane, change the name at the top.
Best of luck.

  • Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

    Hello,
    Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
    I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
    I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
    Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

    Can the Mac connect to the PC?
    Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
    in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
    Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
    Has the IP changed?
    Hello!
    Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
    Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
    Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

  • The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file.  Does Snow Leopard Server File Sharing (AFP) provide similar features?

    The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file.  Does File Sharing (AFP) on Snow Leopard Server provide similar services?

    Were you ever able to solve this problem. I'm having similar issues since upgrading to snow leopard. Four macs connect to a Windows Server 2003 for shared files. Each user has full permissions & when we "get info" it shows read & write permissions. Two of the computers were running 10.4, two were running 10.5. Everything worked properly until upgrading to snow leopard. Some files let me copy, move, delete. Others either just hang up or we get a "no permission" error. Also getting a "pdf is in use" error, even when the file/folder doesn't contain a pdf. We had our IT rep check the server who said everything is in working order. They don't represent macs any longer but feel that it's a mac problem. I would have to agree since this problem only started after the upgrade, and the one machine that was not upgraded (still running 10.5.8) is not dealing with these problems.
    Lastly, I would install 10.5 back on all of the computers if I could, but the leopard disk that came with one of the computers wouldn't work with the 2 machines running 10.4 and I didn't see it available at the apple store. I'll buy it if it's still available, but why wouldn't the disks that I have work?
    Thanks for any help

  • Get ip address or computer name

    hi all,
    please tell me how i can get the ip address or computer name of a machine running a form.
    Besr Regards,
    hany

    A simple way to get the computer name on the Windows platform in client/server mode is
    tool_env.getvar('COMPUTERNAME', l_str);
    The similar technic should be possible on other platforms.
    Another possibility is to use the database session information:
    select sys_context('userenv', 'host'), sys_context('userenv', 'ip_address') from dual;
    I suppose this will give the name and address of the application server in web-mode.

  • How can I customise Thunderbird message columns to show sender raw address (not display name) and the "Received for" email address that was used to reach me?

    I find it increasingly important to be able to see a sender's actual email address rather than just display name, as they usually don't show a company name - which a domain always would. Is there a way to customise settings/write a script/tweak files to add raw email & domain name columns? When dealing with a number of people at the same company it is hard to order or glance through a list of emails to find them. I also know 2 people with the same name at different companies and it is impossible to distinguish!
    Secondly, as a related column addition, since a number of email aliases reach me it would be useful to have a column to show the "Received..for" part of the message source which reveals the actual email used in the To/CC/BCC which led to me. Again can this be tweaked or scripted?
    I have programming experience but have not made add-ons and would be open to a suggestion which involves creating a custom add-on if adding columns with custom values is possible that way.
    Best Regards,
    Drew

    Extended message headers can be searched from Edit/Find/Search Messages, or the folder context menu, by adding custom headers to the search criteria. So, you might be able to create a search on specific properties of a message.
    The method of adding custom headers to searches is the same as the one described here for filters:

  • IP address or computer name

    I am importing data, I am using IP address to connect to shared folder in different server.

    Can we use computer name in tsql statement instead of IP address?
    What are the advantages and disadvantages of it? what is the best practice?

    >Can we use computer name in tsql statement instead of IP address?
    How do you plan to use it?
    You can use computer name or any name for that matter as a linked server name:

  • File sharing/AFP skips "connect as"

    I have a Mac-Lion and several accounts, both user and admin.  I turned file sharing on and selected AFP.  I can connect from another Mac-Yosemite as expected - to any account on Mac-Lion by entering the password when prompted.  With one exception.
    I have an admin account xyz on Mac-Lion and an admin account xyz on Mac-Yosemite, different passwords. On Mac-Yosemite, in the account xyz when "connect to server", it skips the "connect as" prompt.  Connects straight to xyz on MBP-Lion. However, this does happen vice-versa. I also tested other accounts, say abc on Mac-Lion and abc on Mac-Yosemite, admin or standard user. No problem, always goes to the "connect as" window and asks for a password.
    I also changed the password of xyz on MBP Lion many times, and delete the keychain, restarted, etc.  Also, MBP-Lion is off-cloud.  Still thee is this mysterious one-way password-free connection between the two accounts. What could that be and how can I reset it?
    Thanks in advance.

    It turns out the iCloud causes this behavior. If I sign off iCloud in the account xyz on Mac-Yosemite, then I am prompted with the regular login window when I connect to Mac-Lion.  So some setting on Mac-Lion grants password fee access to connections from account xyz on Mac-Yosemite as long as that account is logged in iCloud. (xyz on Mac-Lion used to be signed in the same iCloud account, but I signed out and reset the keychain).  Any idea where that could be so that i can reset it?

  • File Sharing in Apps not Working

    I have iTunes 9.1.1 and under the Apps tab for my iPad it shows that File Sharing is available for Air Sharing HD and Pages. It doesn't work, though. Nothing shows up as being shared (although I have shared files from Pages on the iPad) and when I try to add compatible files using the "Add…" button dialog, they never show up.
    Google showed me that someone else has had this problem but no solution was offered. Has anyone found a fix for this?

    Please let me know which part of my question confused you so I can edit it or just let me know that you didn't read it correctly because I stated that when trying to use the "Add…" dialog, nothing happens. That dialog button does not show unless an App is selected.

  • How to configure Growl notifications for File Sharing and Address Book...

    Heya,
    So my team and I constantly add new contacts to Address Book and drop files via File Sharing and I would love a way to push growl notifications to people's computers when these actions occur. Or even send emails. Does anyone know how I could accomplish this? If so, can you reference a tutorial or guide of some sort? Thanks!

    The export function from iCloud creates one single .vcf file with all the addresses in it. If you click on it on the desktop, it starts displaying each and every address as a separate vCard. However, "Tools/Import...Address Books...vCard file" doesn't do anything.

  • I downloaded pages, completed file sharing but can not open the documents on my ipad

    I have pages on my ipad2, I went through the file sharing instructions for 2 files.  I can not open them in pages.  When I go to Documents, copy from itunes, the files show but cannot be selected.

    Quit Pages and restart the iPad and try again.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Make sure that they are compatilbe file extensions on the files or they will not open ... .doc, .docx, .pages

  • Datasocket change ip address to computer name

    Hi,
    When I write data on the network, the IP address appears inplace of the computer name.  I would like to have it where the computer names appears instead of the IP address.  When the URL is dstp://computername/channelname . But on the data server the IP address appears and no computer name.
    Any suggestions....
    --claudia

    Attached is an example of what I'd like to see on the Datasocket Diagonistic.  The funny part is that I am using the computer name for the URL of the datasocket read & write.

  • File Sharing (in Browser, not AIR)

    Hi,
    I have found previous discussions of rtmfp file sharing on this board helpful.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/563262?tstart=-2
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/548858?tstart=0
    My question is about in-browser file sharing capabilities, not AIR.
    Would it be possible to send heavy animation swf files (300K+) to other clients using RTMFP?
    If not what are the specific hurdles?
    For example, would the following be possible?
    Client 1 loads swf file from web server.
    Client 2 requests swf file from php script.
    Php script tells Client 1 to send swf file to Client 2.
    Client 1 sends swf file to Client 2 via rtmfp.
    Client 2 loads swf file in memory and plays animation.

    Not possible?
    Should be able to pass bytearray and display as a swf, no?

  • Blocking access to file sharing (AFP/SMB) from outside of network

    Hello all,
    Is there a way to block access to file shares from outside of our LAN? I have a machine that has some sharing turned on (it is also my email server) and I can reach it across the internet and mount shares as if I was in the office.
    How can I block this access? Both SMB and AFP?
    Thank you,
    -John

    Justin, thank you for your reply. The machine is on a public ip address and is not behind a NAT router. I've turned on the software firewall and that is working now. However, I imagine it would be better to use a hardware firewall. Any suggestions on a good one? Thank you.

  • HT201342 email address not my name

    We are now set up on icloud but now mt email address reads from my husbands name not mine.  How do I change back?

    You will have to log out of iCloud (in the System/iCloud preference pane) and then log back in with your iCloud ID and password.
