Finder shows multiple versions of same shared computer

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite my finder shows multiple versions of my computer in the "shared" panel of each finder window.  So, instead of just saying "Bedroom Computer," it says "Bedroom Computer," "Bedroom Computer (2)" "Bedroom Computer (3)," etc., five times in total.  I've tried renaming the computer in the sharing System Preferences panel -- the newly named computer appears in the side panel, but the multi-numbered versions of the old-named computer remain in the list as well.  They disappear if I turn off Wi-Fi, but re-appear when I turn wi-fi back on.  Any suggestions as to how to get rid of these phantom computers would be greatly appreciated.

The Mac that was causing the issue isn't on the network at the moment so I can't say if restoring all my base stations has helped the initial problem, but now I see something new.
Oh Darn, now I don't seem to be able to insert images.
What I'm seeing is my Mac Pro listed in “Devices” and in “Shared” in my Finder side bar, and no it fails to connect to itself if I try.
Wondering if this could be the new way to represent things when I'm using wi-fi and ethernet connections simultaneously.

  • It seems that many (if not all) of my files have been replaced by older versions. I kind find the multiple versions (listed in the Search as in the same dir) and restore them but this is strange. There is no chance that another user here has done a restor

    It seems that many (if not all) of my files have been replaced by older versions. I can find the multiple version including the most recent version using the Search, however, they show up in the same directory even though Finder only shows a single copy. I am able to save and then overwrite in order to restore but this is strange. There is no chance that another user here has done any sort of system restore action (at least intentionally).

    I can find the multiple version including the most recent version using the Search, however, they show up in the same directory even though Finder only shows a single copy.
    In a OS Extended (HFS) file system there is no way you can have two files with identical names in the same directory.
    Of course who knows what spotlight is thinking of most of the time when it does its stupid searches (get Find any File instead) and lists its results?  Are you sure it is listing the same directory or do you have a backup and it is finding it there and you aren't noticing it is two different volumes?
    You could also try reindixing the volume.  Add it to the Spotlight system preferences Privacy and then remove it.

  • Why does Windows shows multiple versions of Firefox installed?

    I am running Firefox 11.0 on Windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS. Firefox seems to be working fine.
    When I check the list of installed programs in the Windows control panel I see two versions of Firefox listed (11.0 and 10.0.2). Is this normal? Does the installer not remove older versions when it does an update? Is is safe for me to uninstall the older version?
    By the way, same situation for Thunderbird. It shows both 10.0.2 and 9.0.1!

    It sometimes happens that the updater doesn't remove the old entry in the installed programs section and thus shows multiple versions as installed. You usually only have the most recent version installed and will remove that version if you try to uninstall the older version because both point to the same installation folder. You can either remove that registry key yourself or use a registry cleaner.

  • HT201616 Multiple versions of same song by different artists

    iTunes used to have a feature where you can view multiple versions of the same song by different artists. Is there still a way to do this without having to search through the entire iTunes store? That way takes forever and I have to sample tracks that are completely unrelated, but just happen to have the same title. Why in the world would the dumb iTunes geeks take this feature away. Someone please help. Thanks!

    Have not been in ITUNES Store in quite awhile but
    If it was a function, it would rely on the person or persons who authored the song to insure you did get the same lyrics so to speak.
    So, if you didn't know the artist you wanted - or the authors of the song - you would have to sample them until you hit the correct one.
    Itunes did grow over time - and if they did have cross reference by authors they may have removed it - on the other hand like searches may have worked because of a limited database at the time - it did seem to start adding songs based on searches that brought up nothing one time - and a month later there they were.
    ITUNES has over time added restrictions - for instance at some point - you had to allow this computer on Itunes in order to have itunes synchronize to an IPOD (I purchased about 6 songs on old mac - after migration synchronized fine until they stopped - finally mac allowed more than one device so I could add this one and synchronization started again).
    Here are latest restrictions with windows and Mac if you want to burn CD's of your itunes

  • How can I get iTunes to not show multiples of the same podcasts in my iPhone?

    Not all, but some have the same episdoe multiple times. Every sync seems to add another one of them. This happens, through iTunes, in my iPhone 5. In iTunes, I show that I have 69 unplayed podcasts. When I sync, I can see it got to 68 for my phone (likely one is in the cloud), but then it flashes and now it shows 113. When I look at the unplayed podcasts, I show that some of them have as many as 17 of the same episode in my phone. When I go to my phone's podcast app, I see it once.
    It doesn't happen to all episodes, and I can't find anything in common between those that it does happen to. The newest update to the podcast app and itunes brought back some features that have been missing for over a year, but this is getting weird.
    iTunes 11.2.1 (1)
    IOS 7.1.1

    After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
    They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
    Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
    There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

  • Multiple version of same package being distributed

    Hello,
    So i have a package ABC being distributed to site 01. When I check the sender log it is showing it is distributing multiple version of ABC. is this possible? Should it not distribute latest version only?
    In process sending SWD package ABC  version 2 to site 01, current completion ratio = 19 percent.
    In process sending SWD package ABC version 3 to site 01, current completion ratio = 1 percent.
    In process sending SWD package ABC version 4 to site 01, current completion ratio = 1 percent.

    Hi,
    Did you edit the package when the content distribution hasn't finished?
    I just distributed a package to a DP, then edited the package when it was still in progress. From my sender.log, it continued distributing package version 1 and started to send version 2.
    So I think it is the way of SCCM worked.

  • Creative Cloud Shows Multiple Versions - Why?

    I've been running Photoshop and Lightroom via Creative Cloud since January on Mavericks.  Updates are offered once in a while and I accept to keep up to date.  What I don't understand though, is why CC on the menu bar lists 'Photoshop CC' and 'Photoshop CC (2014)' as both being installed.  And in the 'Find New Apps', Lightroom 5 is shown as 'ready to be installed'... but I already have it installed.
    I don't get it... what am I missing?

  • Multiple versions of same computer listed under shared (with a number added)

    Hi,
    This is not Yosemite specific as  I found numerous posts from earlier systems but no solution. I have 4 macs connected to this specific network. For whatever reason after running for months with no issue the iMac is now listed multiple times and a number is added. The previous computers do not work (as shortcuts). When reading up on  the problem, this should only happen if there are numerous macs with the same name on the same network. This is not the case the name listed under system prefs -> Sharing is unique. I tried to delete the extra number and restart the system but it never seems to stick. Looking into the Bonjour network I can find these same references. I assume the iMac thinks there is another computer with the same name and thus adds another system. This also carries over to the other computers as it lists the imac multiple times. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Can I delete the bonjour/apple file protocol prefs and as such delete all the systems?
    I have turned smb/afp on/off I have renamed the system, restarted it and then going back to the old name to no avail.
    Thanks for any ideas,
    Philly

    There are several possible causes for this behavior.
    1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local". Resolve the name conflict by renaming one or more of them in the Sharing preference pane.
    2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
    4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    6. If the router is an Apple device, it may need to be restarted.
    7. A third-party Bonjour device on the network is malfunctioning. Finding out which is a process of elimination.
    8. There is more than one DHCP server on the network. Typically, there would be two or more wireless access points configured to act as routers.

  • Multiple Versions in Same Project File?

    Is there a way -- official or otherwise -- to accomplish this in GarageBand? To have different versions of a GB project, all of which draw from the same batch of .aif files as their source material, all saved into a single .band package file?
    My specific situation is this: I'm about to use the same batch of about thirty .aif files (totalling a Gig or so in size), to create 7 or 8 different GarageBand projects (each fairly short -- roughly 2-3 minutes in length). Each GB project will utilize different portions of those thirty .aif files. That means if I save each project as a completely separate file (and if I'm understanding GB's file-saving structure correctly), each of those .band packages will contain complete copies of all of those thirty .aif source files. Which is not a major tragedy, but just seems like a waste of 6-7 GBs of space. (I'd also like to be able to archive all the different versions onto a single DVD, sans compression.)
    The analogy I'm thinking of is when I've created two or three versions of a song in Logic (each one a different length, say), and I save them all in the same Project Folder (which I want to be playable on other people's systems who won't have the same 3rd party samples I've used). That Project Folder then only needs to contain a single copy of all the samples and Software Instruments which each of the three versions of the song needs to access. This can result in a significant saving of disk space, as well as making the overall project, with all its different versions, much more portable.
    Is there any equivalent to this in GarageBand '09?
    Thanks,
    John Bertram
    Toronto

    without knowing very much about what your project is, it might be easiest to just use a couple of tracks, in a single project, for each piece. iow, tracks 1, 2, & 3 contain the bits for 1 exported creation, tracks 4, 5, & 6 the next. then solo the groups of tracks and export.
    after that, more the way you seem to want, *and i'd put this on the unsupported, and not the safest idea, list*...
    drop all 30 aiffs into a single project's timeline. then copy the regions you want and paste them into new projects. the new projects will only contain references to the original files, not the actual files. this is risky because if the other projects can't, for some reason, find the first project with all the files contained within, they will all become useless.

  • Settings/Show menus not appearing when shared computer selected.

    My daugher and have PCs and share our iTune libraries with each other.  I'm not quite sure when this happened, but there are no longer any menus available when we select each other's computer under SHARED.  We can't select "Items not in my library" to import new music.  Additionally, we can't set iTunes to automatically transfer new purchases from the other's library. 
    How can we get our menus back?

    It should work, is the pre-script set in the story or the track?
    Actually stepping back a second, how is the project set-up? It looked like it was stories between tracks?

  • Multiple versions of same InfoPath Template in Forms library

    Using SP 2010 and InfoPath 2010.  When I create an IP template today, say with 20 fields and publish to a Forms library then my Forms library will use this template as the default template, all good.  6 months later I need to add a field and re-publish,
    so any new forms will use the template with 21 fields, which is what we want.  But, I want my old forms to always display in their original version, I don't want to see 21 fields displayed for a form I saved 6 months ago.  This pattern will repeat,
    next 6 months I add two more fields, and so on.  It is vitally important that the user see only what was in affect at the time they saved the form in the past, saved 20 fields, see 20 fields, when they click on an old saved form.  The analogy is
    if I scan and upload an image of a Word document to a document library, and change my Word document with more content, I wouldn't expect my scanned image to change.  Silly analogy, but illustrative.
    We may even want to delete a field instead of adding a field when we update the template.  But we would still want any old forms to display in their original state - no missing fields. 
    So what's the best way to continue to make changes to a template over time, deliver it to a Forms library, yet have the existing forms still open with their original layout, not with the latest template? 
    Thanks,
    KevinHou

    Got it solved, sorry.  But for anyone else wishing to do this:
    1. Publishing the form from InfoPath Designer, select SharePoint server, and "Site Content Type"
    2. Select "Create a new content type", and base the CT on "Form"
    3. Provide a name like "My IP Form CT ver 1"
    4. Specify the location of where to publish the template file, for now I just put it in Shared Documents.  You'd probably want a dedicated library just for this, set permissions, etc. so no one can mess with it.
    5. Click Next onward to Finish.  The content type is now in the Site Content gallery and available to add to a Forms library as a content type.
    I then go to my Forms library and add this content type, make it the default, and hide "Form" CT.
    When I need to make a new version, I update my template in IP, save it as version 2, and then walk through the Publish options again, don't do quick publish.  When I get to the relevant publish screens I select Create new content type again, base it
    on "Forms" again, provide a new name "My IP Form CT ver 2", and publish to the Shared Documents library again.  Then I go to my Forms library, add this new content type "My IP Form CT ver 2" and make it the default, then
    I hide "My IP Form CT ver 1" content type.  Now, both content types are still associated with the library, any new forms will use ver 2 because it is the only one not hidden and is set to default, yet any previously existing forms will continue
    to use ver 1 and display using that content type (and of course the template used for that ver 1 content type, which is my ver 1 IP form!).  Cool, got what I need.

  • "Open With" menu shows multiple versions of apps I don't have installed

    So I did an Erase & Install to get Leopard up and running but I did a full system backup to an external drive that I do have connected to my machine.
