I am running OSX 10.7 and a shared computer shows up on my Finder list. How do I delete it?

When I bought my Mac Air in 2012, I transferred all my windows data to my Mac Air after I installed Parallels. Windows has run perfectly since then. However, why does the name of my old PC show up in my Shared list of computers on my Wi-Fi? Since it doesn't exist, how can I delete that shared name?

Apparently, it does exist somewhere. Perhaps in Parallels. You transferred an old Windows system into Parallels, so it may just be showing that as an available server via Parallel's configuration.

Hi...
Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

You'll need to use a wired (USB) keyboard.

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9, and then had to upgrade Xcode 4 to Xcode 5.0.2. Xcode 5.0.2 causes my processor to run at over 100%, and makes my computer inoperable.

Thank you for your advice, but I solved the problem. I had to place the Developer folder in the Trash. The Developer folder had the old XCode 3 inside of it.

Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

It sounds like you've installed Mavericks. You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu. You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks. It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it. This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

Interesting. Googling, I see that someone posted that on these discussions as well:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3331216?start=0&tstart=0
which mentions what I recall: that Airdrop (as implemented by Apple) would create an on-demand ad-hoc Wi-Fi connection, even if you were already connected to an access point. Normally, you can't connect to multiple Wi-Fi networks, thus the reason for Airdrop only supported on newer Wi-Fi chips.
And Apple's KB:

Black ink color will not print. Printer indicator on the printer and at the computer shows that the

The Black ink color will not print on my HP Officejet 7500 E910 printer. Printer indicator on the printer and at the computer shows that all the colors are about 50% full. Any ideals? I have the run the printer thru the diagnostic page and have cleaned the cartridges.
Thanks

Just wanted to let everyone in on a little trick I learned about 10 years ago with inkjet printers. This might not work for everyone but it worked wonderfully on this printer and all the previous ones that I have owned.
The printer head will get clogged. On this printer it seems to get clogged often. You will need to wash it under Warm water. It might take as long as 4-5 minutes to run the water thru the small circular apertures and also the bottom of the printhead-- where the ink actually exits the printhead.
What you need to do:
1. Remove all of your ink cartridges
2. Release the grey latch, or lift it up
3. Remove the printhead
4. place the printhead under a warm water stream cleaning both the inside and outside of where the ink enters and exits the printhead
5. keep running under warm water untill you dont see anymore ink coming out of the printhead
6. Dry with kleenex dabbing lightly untill you soak up all the water off the printhead
7. replace in printer
8. Run clean up twice and then try and print a diagnostics page or print alignment.
I hope this works!
Cheers

My brother and I share an iTunes account and his text messages show up on MY macbook. His texts don't show up on my phone though. how can i delete his number off my iMessage on my laptop?

These are iMessages only.
He activated iMessage on his iPhone with the same Apple ID that you activated iMessage with on your Mac.
On your Mac, go to Messages preferences.
Under the Settings selection for your Apple ID, deselect your brother's phone number for you can be reached for messages at.

You cannot redownload audiobooks at all.
They will only be where you put them.

help me please

You can't. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, because without the previous owner's Apple ID/Password, you will not be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
Apple can't/won't help you with this.

I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this? My tech skills are lacking

I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
Pair Headset with Phone
Turn off headset off
Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode. With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone. So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
Reset Paired Devices List
On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds. A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset. Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'. Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected".
Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
I hope this helps others!

Updates from HP agent ... always runs at start up and slows down computer

HP Pavilion a1222n, Win XP Home
When we first turn on the computer it is slowed down by "Updates from HP agent running" checked through the task manager.
I would like to disable the automatic running of this and run it when I want to run HP Updates. I read in another post to go to the Start > All programs> setting > select never which would allow you to chose when to run the HP update agent. I can not seem to find it on this machine, the post I read was for another model.
Thanks

Hi Ron,
Try the following.
Hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run box, type msconfig and hit enter. In the System Configuration window, select the Startup tab and remove the tick next to the HP Update agent. Click Apply and Ok to save the change and then restart the PC for this change to take effect.

I cannot now get my iPad photos to move, to make comments. My iPad is now 6 months old and I fear I may have too many photos there, how do I delete?

I have a large amount of photos in my photo section, principally streams and I cannot now move them or make comments; neither can I watch videos that have been posted .. it,s stuck... Also how do I delete some of these photos, and is overloading the cause of my obstruction?

A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook. You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices. iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
Two major benefits:
1. From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
2. You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match, Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.

HT4999 I have a new phone and a new computer. Where can I find the downloads for the latest operating system files. thanks

I have a new I phone and a new computer. I don't know where to get the download files for the lates operating system.

To update iOS on an iPhone not running iOS 5 or later, connect the iPhone to iTunes and under the Summary tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select Update. If there is an update avaiable, you should be prompted automatically.
If the iPhone is running iOS 5 or later, the same applies along with another option which can be done direct with the iPhone.
Would you like a link to the iPhone user guide where this is covered? Apple also includes a Safari bookmark with Safari on an iOS device for easy access to the user guide on the device.

HT204053 I have two Apple ID's and want to get rid of one of them. How can i delete the extra one ?

How can I delete an extra Apple ID ?
I just want to have one only for my Iphone and for my Mac.
Thank you for any advice.

I went to the Apple support site last nite for a live chat.
The tech there suggested 2 separate actions;
Here they are, verbatum;
# 1
Go to,
Store-ID-sign out
#2
Change the password to a random string of numbers and letters and set up the other account on both services.
So...
That's it. Neither suggestion worked for me so I'm going up to the apple store in Century City and see if one of the geniuses can straighten me out.
