Hi
try to boot in safe mode, and check there if you have any alternate account (administrator ect) where you can gain access to your window and then change password of it.
Hope it helps!

    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.

    If you are receiving a message that your iTunes account has been disabled and resetting your password does not resolve the issue, then you will need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • HT5622 I made a new Apple ID and everything has been changed and then I am trying to update candy crush and it is asking me for an old apple  ID and  this hasn't happened before

    I made a new Apple ID and everything has been changed and then I am trying to update candy crush and it is asking me for an old apple  ID and  this hasn't happened before

    Games and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    Either log in under the old ID to update Candy Crush or delete the game and
    then download it under the new ID. All in-app purchases and progress will be lost.
    Why did you make a new AppleID, if I may ask?

  • When trying to install update 10.5 it says the download has invalid signature and won't install. I run XP

    when trying to install update 10.5 it says the download has invalid signature and won't install. I run XP

    I'm having similar problems with 10.5. I managed to install it but when I try to run itunes it doesn't open correctly and when I view my account the screen is not presented in the correct format. When I try to search for music it finds nothing. So I ran the diagnostics option but this came back with an error ' secure link to itunes failed'. It also said that the internet connection was verified but when I went into the help option it said I wasn't connected to the internet but as you can see I was and am. I've now uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, each time I uninstall I've followed the correct sequence as recommended:-
    1. Itunes
    2. Quicktime
    3. Apple software update
    4. Apple mobile device support
    5. Bonjour
    6. Apple application support
    I've noticed now that 'quicktime' didn't get reinstalled, not sure if that's the problem. Also when I rebooted after the last Uninstall I received a new error message ' Applesyncnotifier.exe - unable to locate component'. I've also noticed that my CPU is running at 50% according to task manager when I've got apple loaded, but it goes down to less than 20% when it's uninstalled and even goes down to 0%. Clearly, there are a number of people with similar issues and Apple need to sort it quickly.

  • HT5167 Error after 10.7.4 upgrade..."computer's local hostname ........is already in use on this network.  The name has been changed to......  What to do now to get it back to status before 10.7.4 upgrade?

    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!

  • Should I ok "this computer's local hostname Irma-Mac-mini-local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to Irma2 Mac-mini 2-local

    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

    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)  Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Delete the App, then reinstall it.
    Test the issue after each step.  Make sure to quit the app as described before each followup step.

  • Every time i wake my mac i get This computer's local hostname "D-360.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "D-444.local".

    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.
    6. See also this support article.

  • 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".

    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.

  • I keep receiving emails saying my apple id password has been changed when I havent changed it? Nobody else has access to my emails or can answer my security questions??

    I keep receiving emails saying my apple id password has been changed when I havent changed it? Nobody else has access to my emails or can answer my security questions??
    I have changed my email password aswell as having to keep changing my apple is password an it keeps changing?

    Sounds like you follow good practices.
    This has been going around for some time in various forms, a number of users have asked about it and the best advice is if in doubt go doirectly to Apple, not links in the email.  Calling Apple or using the Apple site is always the best approach.
    A few have even noticed very slight misspellings in the emails, things like Appel instead of Apple...most people don't even notice those.
    Anyway, safe computing and have a good day.

    I purchased the Bu Ray/Digital Copy of "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" today at Best Buy, but when attempt to install the digital copy, I get a message about 3 minutes into the download that says that the download has been interrupted, and to check available download in the store drop down menu in Itunes.  Nothing there!  The digital copy disc does not seem to play smoothly on my Imac, which may be the cause of the problem.  What do I need to do to download the digital copy to my computer/Itunes?

  • I get this message:This computer's local hostname "x-8.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "x-9.local" I have turned off sharing and it continues to upgrade name. What is the fix?

    I get this message: This computer’s local hostname “x-8.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “x-9.local” I have turned off sharing and it continues to upgrade name. What is the fix?

    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...

  • Getting SUID has been changed and won't be fixed when using Disk Repair utility.

    While attempting a disk repair, the first message that appears in the string is, "Warning: SUID file System/Library/CoreS...has been modified and will not be repaired." Is this a bad thing? If so, how do I fix it? My computer has been taking forever to startup and freezing quite often.

    The long answer is that Apple doesn't update the permissions database at every system update. Since things change in the update that the permissions database doesn't know about, Repair Permissions flags them.
    Repairing permissions is a long fought battle. There are those that do and those that don't. I think it's just voodoo. The only time I repair permissions is if I get errors indicating that a file cannot be read or app crashes when it is accessing something in the system level (if I can tell). Repair permissions only affects the system folders, not your home folder.
