FolderShare Computer name wrong and will not Change

Last night I got my new Quad, and used the Firewire transfer method from my powerbook to the Quad to set up everything. It worked very well with an exception with FolderShare.
In the transfer, the computer name from the Powerbook was copied over to the new computer. Hence, in prefernces on Foldershare, it shows the same comuter name for the PB and the Quad.
I tried the following without success:
First, I changed the name of my Quad in System Preferences/Sharing and rebooted, but Foldershare keeps reverting back to my old PB name.
Next, I deleted Foldershare and the preference file and reinstalled. But in FolderShare Settings/My Account is still shows the old PB computer name.
I tried logging out and chaning it, but it keep defaulting to the old PB computer name.
Any ideas what to try next??? FolderShare must either store the computer name some where else or else there is another place in OS X that the computer name is stored when I first copied all my files over.

Before you can successfully rename the computer, you must ensure file sharing is turned off.
Once file sharing is off, rename the machine and/or folders.
The change should be immediate (and should not require a reboot)

  • What can I do to change the sound of a track in garageband?  It is "stuck" on electric piano setting and will not change. I've tried restarting, restoring sound library, full key reset, and checked for updates.

    Hi
    In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
    on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
    down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards

    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my computer is slow and will not open some pages  can i uninstall

    I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my mac is really really slow and will not open some pages. Can I uninstall?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • HT201263 the "connect to itunes" screen is displayed and will not change

    The "connect to itunes" screen is displayed and does not change after an update.

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • HT204053 I have changed my apple id on all the devices but my iCloud applied will not change. I tried to delete and set up a new iCloud but the old one is claiming to be the primary one and will not change. Help.

  • The apple id connected with the app store for updates and purchases is outdated and will not change with the new apple id entered on my settings. how to change?

    I have changed the apple id on my settings to reflect the current account for all our apple products.
    But this is not changing when I go to the App store to make a purchase or install updates.
    How do I get the app store connection on my IPAD to go to the apple id i am currently using.
    Obviously just changing it on the settings was not enough.

    Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter.  I recommend you try the same
    If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves.  Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable.  Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
    Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them,  but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions.

  • Computer turns off and will not turn back on... Help!

    My laptop was connected to power  I was playing a game using the disc drive.  My computer shut off randomly and would not turn back on.  I removed it from the power source and it still would not turn on.  I waited about 10 minutes plugged it back in and it turned on.  It resumed in my game right where i was.  Why did this happen?? It seems fine now.  Another thing I noticed was that I had to reset the power outlet it was plugged in to.... Any ideas??

    Sounds like you have a power surge and that tripped the breaker, however your battery should have worked, perhaps it's not charged.

  • When I open new tabs, their names will get stuck at whatever name they are first given and will not change as I navigate within them. For example, a tab will stay named "New Tab" or "Connecting..." Any advice/solutions to fix this behavior?

    My problem is as the title suggests.
    When I open a new tab, the title displayed on the tab will stay stuck at whatever the tab is first titled after it is opened- usually "New Tab" or "Connecting..."
    The names will stay stuck at those names even if I navigate within the tabs to different pages or refresh the tabs/pages.

    I only had to disable TabRenaminizer, and everything is working just fine now. Thanks a bunch!

  • Running windows XP, encountered a problem updating iTunes. Now cannot re-install it. when i try to re-install, the website acts as if nothing is wrong and will not reinstall. How do I re-install iTunes, when the website detects that it is installed?

    I am running windows xp and tried to download the latest version of iTunes 11.1.4 for windows xp. Unfortunately it did not install correctly. There was a error message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, Runtime Error!, Program:C\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe, R6034, An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Then,when I close that box, another box appears that states: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (windows error 1114).  When I attempt to reinstall iTunes though the Apple iTunes website, nothing happens ( no reinstall) presumably because it detects that it is already installed. How do I work around this problem to reinstall iTunes?

    Peter is right but you can keep both Pages 08 and 09 on you computer. I have both on mine. I prefere using Pages 08 if I am copying something from the Internet. Pages09 can retain to much ogf the hidden web page structure.

  • My Computer Shut off and will not turn back on

    Last night i was lying on my bed when suddenly my laptop shut off without any notice. Now i cannot get it to turn back on and the only thing i notice that tells me it's not dead is the light when i plug the charger in. I've tried taking the battery out and holding for 30 seconds (as instructed on other forums) but still it hasn't turned on. Anyone know what i can do?
     Edit: At the time it turned off it was hot on the right side so i put it next to a fan to cool off but it didnt help.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.
