Finder DEVICES list shows multiple Macintosh HDs

I've come across and interesting Finder bug where the DEVICES list shows multiple Macintosh HDs all linking to the single Macintosh HD on my MacBook:
http://pukupi.com/files/finder_bug.png
At the time I did have an old G4 connected in target mode and was zeroing it's Macintosh HD but this wasn't (and shouldn't be) in the DEVICES list at the time since zeroing was still in progress. Disk Utility doesn't suffer the same bug and shows a correct list of devices.
Relaunching the Finder doesn't fix the problem.

I've seen this error a few times.
THE SOLUTION (believe it or not): Drag the extra drive out of the list.

How to find Object List from multiple Transport Requests

I have more than 300 transport request to review, going though all requests will take lots of time. Is there a way to find the list of objects from these requests so that I can go through objects only and by this way the list of objects will be certainly less than 300 for example.

Maybe you can use SE03 function "merge object lists" for this purpose. You can enter the 300 numbers and merge all objects e.g. into a transport of copies, that you can delete again after your exercise. Don't lock the objects inside this temporary request.
The benefit is that each object will only appear once (if not, choose "object list -> aggregate" in the request details), and you can navigate to the underlying objects, something which a simple SE16 for E071 does not offer.

T510 - Device Manager showing multiple Display Adapters

I recently started experiencing a problem with a Java application locking up when moving windows from the laptop screen to an external monitor. One of the things we discovered during troubleshooting is that I am showing 2 Display Adapters:
Intel(R) HD Graphics - running the Laptop Screen
NVIDIA NVS 3100M - running the external Screen
Is this correct? I now also know why when using the NVIDIA Control Center it only shows the one monitor.

I'm not joking.
In BIOS (press F1 key when you see turn on the computer and see the Thinkpad screen) you can select the different graphics mode of the machine. As you are keenly aware, the machine does have 2 graphics processors.
Under Display:
Selecting the Integrated option in BIOS shuts off the nVIDIA graphics card and uses the lower power Intel graphics 3000 on the CPU. This limits graphics performance, but allows for longer battery operation and full CPU speed on battery.
Selecting the Discrete option in BIOS forces the system to use the nVIDIA card. This improves graphics performance, allows you to use multiple monitors, but decreases CPU performance while using battery and reduces battery life.
Selcting Optimus allows software or the user to determine which graphics processor to use "on the fly" so that power budget and GPU performance are balanced for the workload.
Enjoy!

HT2305 HOW TO RESTORE 6TH GEN IPOD CANT FIND DEVICE LIST. WANT TO DELETE EVERYTHING ON ITUNE AND IPODS AND START AGAIN

Have just aquired ipod 6th and 7th gereration and have got bungled up i tunes library and is full of query marks which I dont understand and want to dump all tunes and restore both ipods to blanks so I can have another go at loading music. Thanks for reading

Thanks for that Deggie as am over the hill for all this but what a gadget - have the blue tooth one as well and works great in the car but all tunes were screwed because of query marks. After restore am now putting 1500 old jazz tunes in from archive.net and working fine. Really obliged.

Apple TV didn't show in device list (and how I got it back.)

Hi all,
I just went through a lot of work trying to figure out why itunes stopped showing my appletv in the device list and wanted to post this information in case someone else has this happen. Initially I thought it was iTunes 9 (which I ruled out because one of my old PCs still had itunes 7 or 8), but what it ended up being that when I installed Snow Leopard I did a fresh install, which erased the library the appletv was sync'd with. Basically, the appletv could not find the library it was previously associated with (why it stopped showing up in the device list for multiple computers I'm not sure.)
The solution was to go to "Computers" under settings, and disconnect from the computer the appletv was previously syncing with (note, this does clean off the appletv, but all your settings are retained) and add it anew. (Once you get to the screen where it gives you your five digit code it should show up in the device list again.)
So if you're seeing the behavior, you might want to try this. Hopefully this will save someone else some time.
Justin

the options for sycning are not under the icon they should be in the panel to the right of the screen in many tabs that contain the sync options for each media type (Movies, Music, Podcasts etc.) i.e. when you click on the appleTV icon, tabs should appear to the right (where all your movies etc in iTunes would normally appear).
there are two options when you go into computers on the appleTV.. the one on the top i think it link to itunes library (this is the one you want as this will make it a syncing library).. the option just below this is "share iTune library" or something like that will result in that library streaming only... so hence it will not have any syncing options..since it's streaming only.
once you press the link to... get the code, enter into iTunes.. choose custom sync in the summary tab.. uncheck show only synced items on appleTV (this will allow you the library to sync and stream... item not synced will be displayed on the appleTV and will be streamed when clicked on.. as long as iTunes is open and computer on).. the tabs i mentioned above will appear on the right hand panel on the iTunes window and in each tab you set the options for sync for that particular type of media.

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

Find My iPad App: My iPad2 didn't shown in my device list. Why?

Hi,
I am also having problems adding my iPad2 to MobileMe. When I go to Find My Phone in MobileMe, the original device (iPod Touch 4th gen) still shows up, but no iPad.
So I deleted the Find My Phone app plus the account, re-downloaded the app from the App Store, and tried to set it up again. Same results.
The iPad is 64GB 3G Verizon. I also have an iPod Touch (4th gen) and a MacBook Pro.
Que pasa? I'd appreciate any thoughts or help anyone can provide.

Itunes device list does not show when i plug my iphone in to computer to backup

there is no 'device list' listed in itunes when i plug my
iphone in to backup on itunes.
how do i make 'device list' show up.
thx
deb

Hi! Have you run the latest software update?

Device list has duplicate entries which I am unable to delete

smart WiFi application device list has foreign an mullti[ple duplicate entries. When I try todelete them I get "Unexpected Error" [object XMLDocument].

“smart WiFi application” Are you referring to the user interface of the router which is the Linksys Smart Wifi? If it’s the Linksys Smart Wifi user interface of the router, how did you access it, via IP or router name? How did you log-in, via local or Linksys Smart Wifi account? What is the model # of your router and its current firmware? In the device list, how many icons do you have? How many actual devices you have in the network? Say for example you have a laptop and desktop, you can expect three icons on the device list. Each device on the network holds its own icon and name. If the name and icon doesn’t much to the device, you can change the name and icon to much the actual device. Sometimes the device list shows “network device”. For you to find out what device is that, check the IP and MAC address. Compare it to the actual device IP and MAC which can be found on the network properties of the device. If you have identify the devices and you still want to delete the un-identified device icon on the list. What you can try is to turn off the other devices in the network and take a look at closely the icons on the device list if one of them turns OFFLINE then you can remove that icon. You can now log-out from Linksys Smart Wifi portal which can be found on the upper right of the page. Clear you browser history and close it. Power cycle the router by unplugging the power supply for 5 seconds and plug it back in. Turn ON your network device and try access the router Linksys Smart Wifi page and check the device list if you still have that “foreign and multiple duplicate entries”.

Wireless Vs. Ethernet and iTunes "Devices" list

iTunes 9.0.2 and TV 3.0 software. Snow Leopard OS.
TV can "see" the Internet, download files, view YouTube, etc.
iTunes can "see" the Internet and works as expected. But the "Devices" list doesn't appear when I use the wireless connection.
When connected via ethernet the Devices list shows the TV and I am able to move files back and forth. The iTunes preferences shows the TV and I can change the "synching" options.
As soon as I switch to wireless the iTunes preferences show the TV and "Synching" but nothing is being transferred (no network activity).
Wireless via Belkin router using WEP 128. Ethernet using the same Belkin router.

I'm very methodical with my diagnostics and don't do "willy-nilly" steps to try and fix issues.
My "Source" files are stored on a connected HD (Firewire) and iTunes knows how to find them.
I've "rebuilt" my iTunes Library by following the steps at the Apple Support pages (move the .xml file out, deleted older (obsolete) folders and "import" the .xml file again).
TV has been connected via wireless for over two years without issue. Since I've only been downloading "rented" files I rarely open iTunes and just recently (with the 3.0 and 9.0.2 updates) noticed the TV didn't appear in the iTunes "Devices" list (under the Library).
I purchased a new file via TV and it downloaded and was viewed without issue on the TV. It was then I decided to test the new features with iTunes and noticed the file was never "moved" to my Library.
iTunes preferences suggest my TV was "synching" but I observed no network activity on the Belkin router.
This is where I started all of the "fixes" I could think of:
Use the Menu-minus buttons on the remote to "Test" the TV. No issues were reported.
Used the "Reset Settings" (Settings menu). No change. Then the "Factory Restore" (which deleted everything but my most recent purchase).
It was then I decided to test the ethernet connection and everything worked as expected. I was able to move my recent purchase to my iTunes Library and then move all of my other Library files (Music, Photos and purchases) back to the TV.
Switched back to my wireless network and both devices work as intended. But the TV doesn't show in the iTunes Library (Devices). iTunes preferences show the name of the TV and "Synching".
I'm stuck at this point.

HT1947 I can't pair my remote app for my iTunes music There is nothing to pair in THE device list

Worker supports a subset of the ActionScript APIs. Where do I find that list of the subset?

ActionScript Workers (concurrency) supports a subset of the ActionScript APIs. For example you cannot access StageVideo or Stage3D from within a worker.
I would expect to find this list of supported API's (or the list of API's that are excluded) at:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/Worker.htm l
But I did not find it there.
Where do I find that list shows you which ActionScript API's are not supported within a worker?

But... you CANNOT implement, edit, or change ANYTHING having to do with Actionscript in Flash Player. Just like you can't create and edit movies with a home DVD player. It's a player only and it reads and executes A/S. Additionally, you cannot do ANYTHING with APIs in Flash Player. It's a browser Plugin and nothing more.
As I stated previously, the Flash Professional forum is where people who know ActionScript, and API implementation are. I "dabbled" in Flash for a little while recently, and I know a few lines of ActionScript, like how to stop an SWF at the end of an animation, so it doesn't repeat, but that's all I know and it's probably more than most people in this forum.
I'm not trying to be a wiseapple... I'm simply pointing you in the direction that will get you the best answers to your question.

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

My girlfriends iPad has been stolen and wiped as it no longer shows on her devices list in find my iPhone. Is there anyway it can be traced by the serial number?

Can anyone help me, is there a way to trace a stolen ipad by the serial number? It seems the thief has wiped the ipad as it no longer shows on her devices list in find my iPhone. Can the serial number be used to trace it once it is set up on a different Apple ID?

No.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

Printer shows up multiple times in my device list

I have an EA4500 router running firmware version 2.1.39.145204. A device, which I assume is my HP printer, shows up on my device list multiple times (11). This is illustrated below with the devices status report from the "Troubleshooting" tab of my Smart Wi-Fi interface. The device listed as "Photosmart Premium C309g-m" is indeed my printer. The MAC address listed agrees with the set-up information in my printer and it is correctly listed as connected via wi-fi. There is no hard wire connection from the printer to the network.. As you can see, there is a bunch of other devices listed all with the same name. These devices have the same IP address as my printer but different MAC addresses. My questions are:
1. What causes this situation?
2. How do I fix it? By this I mean, how do I remove the multiple listings?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi sgtpepperlhcb2! Duplicate MAC and IP addresses in the DHCP list can be an indication of a possible firmware problem. I suggest you upgrade the router's firmware. Reset and reconfigure the router if the firmware upgrade will not work.
Here's an article that may help.
