Hi, this is a common problem, mostly just irksome though.
It can have many cause, like using more than one Interface for connections, Router temporarily losing x.local & seeing a new connection with x.local already used, insists it must be x-1.local, x-2.local, etc..
What all Sharing do you have enabled?
Some possible fixes...

error message that my local host name is in use and the system generates a new one every time I wake my mac the error mssg reads This computer’s local hostname “D-360.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “D-444.local”.
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.

Error after 10.7.4 Lion Upgrade to iMac
Computer's local host name .......is already in use on this network. the name has been changed to........
and it keeps adding up the number each time I wake the iMac.
What to do to get it back before upgrade error?Ok worth repeating, hope this works. Finally spoke to AppleCare Support and walked me thru following...restart computer holding down "command" and "option" keys at the same time with letters "P" and "R" when computer turns on. This is what he called a PR restart, clears out discrepancies in memory (if that is what the error message actually is). Then went to Systems Preferences/Network/Sharing and deleted the number that kept increasing every time MAC would wake up.
Even tho this was just done, I am hopeful that error pop-up won't happen again. Fingers crossed! -
What does this mean: This computer’s local hostname “Linda-Daviss-iMac-4.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “Linda-Daviss-iMac-5.local”.
When I came back to my computer this message was on the screen. Should I be concerned ? or doing something?Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
Sometimes it happens because 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.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane. -
Should I ok this message-this computer's local hostname Irma's Mac-mini-local is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to Irma's Mac-mini-2local
Don't think this is a conflict with IP Addresses or computer names
= DHCP hangover when computer renews DHCP lease
There is no actual other computer
It just appears that way when reconnects so creates new -2 computer name
What types of names do you use your computers ?
Whether you name them after quantum particles or the romantic poets...
They will each start to be appended with "-2" then "-3" etc if you auto configure network settings from Airport Router DHCP service and you have this Change computer name issue where pop up window states name is already being used on your LAN
As stated previous post you can reset the computer name in SysPrefs / Sharing / Edit button
And restart Router or renew all DHCP leases (if persists in not allowing original name)
Can now press Edit and reset name of choice
But for Fix see link above -
I recently got a message with an exclamation mark stating "your computer name is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to ______"
How did this happen, is it phishing, malware, or did someone hit some button on here to change it. I'm hoping that someone else doesn't have access to everything on my computer now. Help!Hello RaptorTrish,
Interesting name! You don't say what computer you are using, the OS or the nature of the network, home, office etc. Could you fill in a few details.
You are right to be concerned but there is often a simple explanation. -
Why can't I open a pdf file on my desktop?

RSA1 error Logical system name has been changed for this system
Hello All,
Earlier the RSA1 was activated for client 300 on our crm 5.2. after that we changed the client to 500 using SE16 -> Type table RSADMINA / Check Colum BWMANDT -> 500.
But now when we login to client 500 and execute RSA1 it is showing
Logical system name has been changed for this system"
In scc4 we have not made any changes. Can you tell what should be done ? in the pop up it is showing following steps
Change the name of the logical system (table T000) for client back to SIDCLNT300. This enables you to continue working with the system.
If you really want to change the logical name, than you can, if and when you:
change the system name back to SIDCLNT300,
delete all existing connections between this system and other systems,
delete all transfer structures that still exist, and
do not use ALE or Workflow.
Guys do you know how to fix this ? .
Also do you know Assignment of Source System to Source System ID (table RSSOURSYSTEM) using RSA1 ?
Edited by: Sahad K on Mar 17, 2008 10:55 AMHello Hari,
Both the options you said cannot be used
since the logical system SIDCLNT300 is used by client 300 and it cannot be given to client 500. Also there already exist a logical system SIDCLNT500 which is assigned to client 500.
I found out the issue. In the table RSBASIDOC the logical system name that can use rsa1( bw client )is set as SIDCLNT300). Only if we delete that entry and set it to SIDCLNT500 ( 500) we can use it on client 500.
The solution is specified in /message/3284842#3284842 [original link is broken]
Let me try the solution 2 and inform you.
Solution 2:
You cannot delete the source system. Two cases have to be distinguished:
The source system still exists.
Switch to Transaction SM59. Find the destination which has the same name as the logical system of the source system from field SLOGSYS in table RSBASIDOC (see above).
Such a destination does not exist in Transaction SM59. In this case, you have to create the destination to the source system. Name the destination equal the entry in SLOGSYS from above. Then return to the Administrator Workbench and repeat the deletion.
The entry exists but a remote login is not possible. Correct the communication parameters.
Everything works. Change to Transaction SE37, function module RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE, Sngl. test. Parameter I_LOGSYS = <log. name of the source system>, I_FORCE_DELETE = 'X'.
The source system no longer exists or was replaced with another source system with the same IP address.
Proceed as described in the first case but make sure, that the field 'Target host' contains a not existing server in the maintenance screen of the destination (Transaction SM59). If necessary, change an existing entry. Later when you delete, the system asks you whether you want to delete, although the source system is not available. Select 'Ignore'.
Incase you have any idea other than this please let me know how to edit the RSBASIDOC table and change the entry to client 500.

BI Error Logical system name has been changed for this system
Hello All,
I have installed the BI system and did a client copy from 000 to 200 client with profile SAP_ALL.
Now I have loged into the system with client 200 and wen I run RSA1, I am getting the following error
message: "Logical system name has been changed for this system"
Thanks
Sekhar..Hi,
Goto tcode SCC4.
Switch to change mode. (System will prompt that this table is cross client. Continue)
Select your client (in this case 200). Click on details button (next to change mode button)
Enter the proper logical system name in Logical system field.
Click on Save button.
Then try RSA1.
Hope it helps

BI:Logical system name has been changed for This System
Hi, Gurus,
I want to Use my IDES SAP ERP 7.0 as my BI system for training purposes,when iam executing the transaction RSA1 in the system it is giving message
"Logical system name has been changed for
system"
I Have changed the entries in table "RSADMINA" and maintained the Client no as 100 (My base client for BI) which i have copied from 001.
When iam executing the Transaction RSA1 in 100 it is giving above mentioned error ,whereas in 001 it is working fine.
Please Help . ..
I tried to change the system logical name by "bdls" but it doesnt worked........Hi Deepak,
Check the entries in table RSLOGSYSMAP (this is meant for correct conversion of logical system names for tansports).
You can easily maintain the entries using tcode RSLGMP.
Hope it helps.

Iphone 5 battery drains rapidly, I have turned off apps and location even purchased a new battery, is anyone else having this problem? If anyone knows how to fix please let me know. I've tried the hard reset and nothing works.
There was a run of bad batteries for the iPhone 5. Apple will replace them if your phone qualifies and you haven't tried to fix it yourself. See: iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program - Apple Support. Unfortunately, you may have disqualified yourself if you tried to repair it yourself.
However, rapid battery drain is only rarely caused by a bad battery. A bad battery is usually diagnosed by a battery percentage that jumps randomly. See this for advice: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain -
This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed...
I am trying to distribute an interactive order form to approx. 50 recipients with Acrobat X Standard which I purchased recently. Computer is Windows 7.
I can go through the form editing and distribution as usual, but when I (or a recipient) opens up the distributed form with Adobe Reader, they get the message: “This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.”
Oddly enough, sometimes is does work, but 90% of the time it doesn’t.
And I have another, older XP computer with Acrobat X installed, and it works fine 100% of the time – weird....can anyone help?Hi Ken
We have so many people who have not updated they are trying on 9. I might just have to tell them we can’t support under reader 10.
Thanks
Tania

Receiving error message using current Maverick version: "Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).". Is fix the same as on previous OS versions?
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.
