Keep getting error message about my computers local host name already in use

I keep getting the following random error message popping up on my desktop. The last time it said the same thing, but imac-2.local? Haven't changed anything to my knowledge.
This computer’s local hostname “glen-cumbuss-imac-2.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “XXXXX-XXXXXXX-imac-3.local”.

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.
If that's not the issue, shut down any virtual machines (Parallels, VMware, or VirtualBox) that are running.
Sometimes there's no identifiable reason for the behavior.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

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.

Keep getting error message about Dynamically-related files when trying to view in "Live" mode

I'm very new to all of this, but I have been following Adobe tutorials to try and get everything working (Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver | Adobe Developer Connection) . The database connection test in this section goes through fine, but then when I go to view the final step, viewing comments.php in "Live View," I get an error across the top. I have played with it a bit, so the error message changes somewhat, but basically it tells me that I have dynamically-related files that can't be loaded. Currently, it is because they can't be resolved, previously, it was because they could not be discovered. (I tried the "Discover" option which failed, after which I resorted to the "Setup" option, in which I changed my root folder from htcdocs to htcsdocs/kitchengallery — where I had all my PHP and site files — and tried again to no avail. So then I changed the settings in MAMP to correspond with the change from htcdocs to htcdocs/kitchengallery. Still no luck).
I am using Dreamweaver CS6.
I'm not sure what information someone might need to help me dig deeper into this issue, but I'm all ears!

Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
Usually rebooting will force it to let go

I keep getting error messages about tags being added, and the errors keep coming until I have to force quit firefox because it is non-responsive.

Error Message: The tag 'United States' has been added to and/or removed from items in multiple locations. It has been added to the following local items:
The error message will repeat with different tags such as male or human. It seems to be saying it is putting the tags on articles stored in my Zotero, but I am not sure the titles match.

When trying to enter 3 security answers I keep getting error message about my year of birth

When trying to buy some music I'm presented with a Security Info screen to select 3 questions and answers. When I finish and press enter, I get an error message "Your year of birth must be between 1880 and 2010" when none of the questions or answers relate to my age or birth. I can't get past this to complete the purchase. Any suggestions?

I have been trying to download free apps and keep getting error messages about problem with pmts, no matter what credit card I use. Why

Why is this happening? It shouldn't on free updates or apps.

Based on what you have said so far there is no way to answer your question. You must have a valid payment method on file with the iTunes store, even to download free apps. The payment method is used to verify who you are. The profile information in your iTunes account must match the information for the credit card you have entered.

Hi hannijin,
What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer? The version of iTunes that you can install is dependent on the operating system that you have. For example, the current version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later.

Keep getting error message from 'Cron Daemon'

I have been running an Xserve G4 with Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 as a mail server and web server for several years now with no problems. Recently, however, I tried to set up a mailing list, which I had never done before. When I tried doing this, OS X automatically created a mailing list called "Mailman" for me, in addition to the mailing list I created.
Now I keep getting error messages sent by "Cron Daemon <[email protected]>" to that "Mailman" mailing list. The error messages are sent to the mailing list and I get them as a subscriber to the list. They read:

Modules/gcmodule.c:215: failed assertion `gc->gc.gc_refs == GC_REACHABLE'
Mailman mailing list
[email protected]
http://www.mydomain.com/mailman/listinfo/mailman
===
I did some research on the OS X Server support pages and discussion forums and couldn't find any references to such a problem.
With a worldwide search with Google, I only found very obscure stuff about Python, which I know nothing about.
The mailing lists appear to be working fine other than that (and the fact that Mailman uses "www.mydomain.com" instead of just "mydomain.com").
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Pierre

Thanks for the clarification. I really do not need anything fancy at this point. Also, please note that I am still using Server 10.3.9, not 10.4.
Now, as for the initial problem, I am afraid it is not gone. It has just changed. Here's what I got in my mailbox this morning:

In other words, the error message is still coming, but now it's being sent by "[email protected]" and since this is not a subscriber to the list, I get the admin notice requiring approval. (It's in French because I am using mailman's French-language option, but you should get the gist of it .)
I still do not know:
1) what causes this message and what it means
2) why it's coming from "[email protected]" rather than "[email protected]".
Like I said, I changed the "host_name" option from "www.mydomain.com" to "mydomain.com" in both mailing lists I have, but obviously there is still some part of Mailman that thinks it should be using "www.mydomain.com".
I am afraid I still don't know what to do about this.
FWIW, I ran the check_perms command you gave me this morning and it did find 10 problems and corrected them. I don't know yet if this will help with this particular problem.

im trying to download itunes 10.5 but keep getting error message that says: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A problem run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. I am using windows XP 32 bit, all the other computers in my house downloaded just fine, no problems, however this is the computer my iphone is set up to, ive tried doing a virus scan, windows update, downloading other things, updating everything possible, everything works fine, its just itunes that wont download, anyone have any other ideas?

Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.

HT201210 keep getting error message when trying to update iOS to 5.1.1

I have had no trouble updating the several iPads under my charge at work, however can't update my own. Am using iOS 5.1 currently on original iPad. I go to settings and it looks for any updates available and I click install to 5.1.1 but keep getting error message saying there was an error when trying to update. I am on my home wifi on my iPad. Have done same procedure with about 5 other iPads with no trouble. What can I do?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
