Host name not showing up under Active Clients

When I go into my router and check active connections, I can see all host names like "Acer Laptop", "IPhone" etc..., IP and MAC address' that are connected to router. Today, when I was in there looking, I saw an asterisk where host name should be for the TouchPad. (it took me a while to figure out it was the TouchPad) Is there a reason why Host name would not show up?
I have gone into "Device Settings" and set "Name" as "Chucks TouchPad". Is that the host name that should be showing on router?
Thank You for any assistance.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Sure is, but it will involve some commandline work. First, you're going to need to install the SDK. You only need the Novacom part of the SDK, but AFAIK there's no seperate download for Windows... you have to get the whole thing. The SDK is available here: https://developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/sdk_pdk_download.html
Next, you're going to need to enable Developer mode on your TouchPad, here's how to do that:
Start a Just Type search and enter webos20090606
A Developer Mode icon will display, tap it
Tap the toggle switch to turn it On
Leave the password blank and tap Sumbit
Close the Developer Mode app
Now, connect your TouchPad to your computer. Next, you're going to find a file called Novaterm.bat. It's buried in the install directory of the SDK. I don't remember the exact path (I don't use Windows anymore) but it's something like C:\Program Files\Palm SDK\Current\bin (keep digging around for bin folders in the C:\Program Files\Palm SDK path and you'll find it eventually). Doubleclick that to start a nice little terminal app. Choose your TouchPad from the drop down list and click connect.
Now, time for some command line stuff. Run the following commands in the terminal:
mount -o remount,rw /
cd /etc/dhcp
vi dhclient.conf
Press the I key on your keyboard to go into edit mode (this is a Vi specific thing)
Remove the # at the beginning of line 14 and change the andare.fugue.com inside the quotes to whatever you want your TouchPad reporting as. For example: #send host-name "andare.fugue.com"; would become send host-name "RidiusTouchPad";
To save your changes, hit the ESC key (to exit edit mode), then type :wq and hit enter. Note there is a colon in there. Again, this is Vi specific stuff.
sync
mount -o remount,ro /
Once you've done this, disable and re-enable your Wi-Fi and your TouchPad should be reporting a hostname. Kind of a lot of work if you ask me (unless you already have the SDK installed).

Network devices not showing up under "shared" in finder bar

Ok so i have a network that consists of a maxtor nas device, 2 win xp pc's, 1 win7 pc, d-link 524 router, and my macbook pro. I would like to be able to transfer files between my mac and the devices and use the printer attached to my maxtor. My issue is that none of the computers show up under the "shared" section of finder or under network. I use to have this issue with leopard but it resolved itself. Now under snow leopard for a couple months and i have yet to get it work. I can access my mac and other pcs from a pc. Anyone know how to get my network to show up on my mac?

Your problem is very common under Snow. At first my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

Songs not showing up under artist

I have tagged all of my music acurately. When in itunes, all the songs that should be there show up when I click on an artist. Many are not showing up under the artist in my ipod though. The songs are on the ipod, because I can find them if I search by song. They even show the correct artist when I play them from the ipod. They just are not showing up when I search by artist????? Please Help!!

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.

My downloaded text sounds do not show up under the sounds tab in settings after installing 8.1.1. can someone help me please?

i downloaded a couple text tones and since installing 8.1.1, they will not show up under the sounds tab. in fact, they do not show up in my recent purchases on itunes, but when i go to buy them again, it says that i have already bought this tone. I just want to use the tones i paid for as the tones on my phone. not asking much.... thanks for the help. i hope someone can help me get the tones working. thank you.

This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
so if you're on a mac:
1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
     Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
     if it's already short enough that's fine
2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
     a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
     still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
Hopefully this helps someone else.

HT1451 Why do the song names and cd name not show up on the IPod Shuffle?

Err this is no longer April 1st you know.
The iPod Shuffle has never had a 'display' on which track names can be shown. See http://www.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/ if you want an iPod which does have a display on which you can see the tracks names and even the album cover art then look instead at the bigger and more expensive iPod Nano http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ or iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/
PS. The current iPod Shuffle even though it has no display on which it can show the track names can read them out loud to you using a voice-synthesiser this is the VoiceOver feature described on the iPod Shuffle product page I listed above.

I am trying to download previously purchased music from iTunes, it show "purchased" in iTunes Store but does not show up under previous purchase tab

There are several albums that I've previously purchased that somehow were deleted from my computer & iPad. When I go to download available purchases on PC it say that all available punches have been downloaded. When I check iTunes Store it show as "purchased". When I try to check & download from iCloud via either iPad or PC these items do not show up under items purchased.
I can't even re-purchase the item, which I've tried since it shows as purchased in iTunes Store. This is very troublesome because there is no way for me to access these previous purchases. I have been using iTunes & various Apple products with the iTunes Store for several years & there is a lot of money invested in these previous purchases, that there is no way for me to access. As mentioned, I'd even be willing to re-purchase some of these items (though this should be unnecessary). But, the iTunes Store won't let me, because the items show up as purchased in store, but not on any of my devices!!!
Help!

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

I just rented a video on my iPad, but it's not showing up under rented videos. Where do I go?

I just rented a video on my iPad and it's not showing up under rented videos. I have rented videos before. But don't know what to do. Help.

It should be in the Videos app
If not, are your age restrictions set up in the Settings >> General >> .......?
If your restrictions are turned on and you rented a PG18 rated movie or something, it won't show by design.

Windows media player files will not play. I downloaded the plug in but does not show up under plugins. Why won't it load?

Whenever I try to play a wmv file through firefox it will not load. It was not a problem a few weeks ago. Under plugins it is saying I do not have windows media player. So I tried downloading it using the troubleshooting directions from firefox. But it still will not show up under plugins. Any help would be much appreciated.

'''np-mswmp''' in your Installed Plugins listing ''(in '''More system details''' to the right of your posting)'' is the Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox.

ATV not showing up under devices in iTunes

I have synced this ATV with this Macbook in the past.
I am able to play music from my Macbook thru my ATV by selecting the ATV speakers instead of the Macbook's speakers.
I can play movie trailers on the ATV.
In iTunes>Preferences>ATV my ATV shows up and says it is syncing
I have updated my ATV and iTunes software.
However, it does not show as syncing on the home screen of iTunes and does not show up under devices on the left side. Any ideas?

Print management not showing up under administrative tools

hello!
for some reason even though i have all the proper roles etc installed print management is not showing up under admin tools. i have manually added the snap in to mmc console and saved that to a location for easy access, but the members on my team would like
to have it available to them under admin tools, does anyone know a) why it does not show up or b) how to add my saved mmc snap in so it shows up under admin tools?
thanks in advance.

Very strange. I just added it to a Windows Server 2012 R2 server and it shows up in Tools.
Microsoft tools, into the Tools menu on Server Manager, you just need to put an entry in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools directory. You can even rearrange things, create sub-directories with different sets
of tools, ACL the entries, etc.
