How to stop network name from incrementing

every day the network name of my macbook pro increments; ie., macbook (2), macbook (3), ...... macbook (19).  How do I stop this?  It is making syncing and sharing a nightmare.

It's a small but. First, remove power from your router and wait one minute. The restart it. Second, open Finder preferences, click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar. Uncheck the Bonjour Computers option under the Shared heading. Open Sharing preferences to return the Computer Name to what it should be.

  • How to change network name on BT Hub 2.0?

    Hi folks,
    I've just set up my Broadband with BT here in the UK and all is well.
    However, how do i change the network name from the default BThomehub?
    I had a belkin router prior to this and i could change it easily by going into the routers home page but in the BT home page it shows the name of the hub/router but i can't change it?
    Thanks.

    You need to log into the home hub manager and select "settings"
    Then select "advanced settings"
    Then choose "Wireless" where you can change the Wireless name/SSID
    Hope that helps.

  • This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

    This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
    The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
    Please help me!

    If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

  • How get all table name from database

    hi master
    sir
    how get all table name from database

    The big question is 'why'.
    Selecting from view 'dba_tables' will indeed give the list of all tables in the database, but that includes the dictionary tables and the internal tables, and many others that are probably not of interet to a person who needs to ask this question. Besides, the dba_tables view requires access to a DBA account.
    There are several other views: "user_tables" will list all the tables in this user's schema; and "all_tables" will list all the tables this user can access in some way.
    The above do not, of course, include any information about synonyms, sequences, views, indexes and so on.
    The correct answer and the meaningful answer may be two different things.

  • How to stop Time Machine from backing up Temp Files?

    Hi folks!
    I am trying to find out how to stop Time Machine from constantly backing up 'useless' temporary files accumulated from web browsing? Although I don't change or add large files to my HD, Time Machine backs up hundreds of MBs every hour. Those file amounts make sense when I consider that I browse a lot to YouTube, SoundCloud, etc to watch videos or listen to music - I just don't want them to be backed up.
    Under Time Machine Options I already excluded the following items from backups:
    ~/Library/Caches
    /Library/Caches
    ~/Downloads
    But even though I did this weeks ago, Time Machine stills finds large files to be backed up every hour and my only guess is that I am still missing a location where either Safari or Firefox - the two web browsers I use - store temporary files.
    Can you help?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Are you sure you need that? There are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero.
    If you're running Windoze on your Mac, that's the same as running it on a PC, so it needs all the same anti-everything stuff you'd use on a PC.
    There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt).
    Appropriately enough, some of these Trojans are included in pirated versions of Apple software, such as iWork!
    For the gory details, see Thomas Reed's [Mac Virus Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus].
    Thanks a lot again!
    You're quite welcome, and thanks for posting back.

  • How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

    I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
    while a dialog is showing.
    When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
    I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

    If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
    Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
    if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
    JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
    JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
    ... code here ...
    As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

    I have cut paste the code from my jsp which is working. There is one additional line. I do not know if that is the cause but there is no harm in trying that out.

  • How to stop  the users from changing the Decimal in SAP

    How  to stop  the users from changing User Profile

    Hai,
    It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
    If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

    How to stop the Calendar from editing your input?

    I am constantly finding that Calendar Version 8.0 thinks it knows what I want to type but it incorrectly takes numbers and days and times out of my input and changes my appointments. I hate this new supposedly "smart" feature. Even when I edit my event correctly a second or third time it rewrites my input incorrectly again. I have to use my iPhone to override the annoying editing on my mac. I am ready to find a new calendar program unless Apple allows users to input what they want without their information being incorrectly edited.

  • How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

    How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

    It's not really something to snap a screen shot of. I believe it would need to be a video clip. For instance, when I am working on multiple images in Photoshop, I often need many images open at the same time, but I only have one image viewable and active. The hero image is active on screen while I hide the other images in the dock by hitting the yellow - button on the images. Then I "Hide" Photoshop to do something in the Finder. When I go back to Photoshop, every image that is hidden in the dock will pop open again in the active window, not just the image I was currently working on. I want these images to stay in the dock until I need them, no matter how many times I Hide the Show Photoshop.

  • How to stop PR creation from PM work order for a particular vendor?

    Hello Experts,
    We have following scenario for breakdown maintenance activities.
    When a machine breaks down, a breakdown order is created in SAP. The external manintenance services are planned in the order. When the order is released, a single PR (with multiple item numbers corresponding to number of services) is created by SAP. The PR has a release strategy. When PR is released, PO is created followed by the SES.
    The practice followed AS -IS for breakdown outside business hours:- If the breakdown happens outside business working hours, the person releasing the PRs is not available & hence PR can not be released resulting in no PO & no subsequent SES.
    In this case, the maintenance is completed by the external agency & the work order is TECO. The next day, TECO is reveresed, new PR is created, released, converted into PO, & then SES.
    TO-BE process:- Client expects that, for certain vendors identified, PR should not get created at all from the breakdown order. (The list of  vendors will be maintained seperately). For these vendors, a framework order will be created at the start of fiscal year & SES will be created as & when required agaainst the framework order.
    My concern is :- How to stop PR creation from PM work order for a particular vendor? OR delete the created PR?
    Highly appreciate your quick response.
    Thank you.

    Dear Amit
    I am giving a different dimension to your question check if it fulfills your requirement -
    As we know Vendor selection comes at a later stage only after your PR creation, approval & RFQ etc. & PR generation from maintaine. order is controllled through control key PM03.  While triggering PR from order you have to specify Material group, Purchase group and vendor. Try to control it through authorisation as all these are authorisation objects. The persons executing breakdown order shall no t be given this authoriations

  • How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

    How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

    Thanks for the quick response.
    I have a number of slides which act as a training module. The quiz follows this. All the answers to the quiz are in the module slides. I'd like the user to be able to see which questions they're failing on, but not be shown the answers, as, if they are failing the quiz, the whole module needs to be reviewed and the test retaken.
    If this isn't possible, I'll probably just remove the review option, thereby meaning my retake button can stay, and the user can just go back and re-read the module slides to learn the answers.
    Thanks
