My finder is showing that a PC is sharing with my MacBook.

My finder is showing that a PC is sharing with my MacBook. I don't know whose computer it is and my wi-fi network has a password, which I have changed. How do I get rid of it?
The Get Info button says it's a sharepoint memory card, but I can't access its contents.  And I did not accidently leave a memory card in my computer.

Since it shows a memory card, and the name starts with "hp", is there a chance that it is a networked HP printer/scanner type of device that is connected somewhere on your network? The memory card readers on such devices often show up on networks.

  • In finder it shows that I'm sharing my computer with someone else that i have never authorized not even know.

    I am concern that in finder shows that someone else is sharing my computer, how can I delete that ? or block any sharing in the future?

    What exactly does the message say?
    If you want to turn off sharing, use System Preferences > Sharing. Authenticate by clicking the lock icon, then un-check the sharing services you do not want.

  • When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have spoken to Apple and they cannot fix.

    When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have contacted Apple and they do not have a solution for this issue. This is a huge problem for me.

    No, the senders are in most case sending from corporate servers which are almost certainly not Mac based. Also, remember this happens when I send or receive. So if I send something with an attachment, the attachment will go through, but the sent box will not show the paper clip icon so that I can distinguish the emails sent with attachments versus the emails sent without attachments. I receive the attachments as well, but again the paper clip icon does not show up so that I can distinguish the emails that I have received that contain attachments. Recipients of my e-mails have complianed that when they receive an attachment from me they do not see the paper clip icon which alerts them to the fact that the email contains an attachment.

  • Where do i find tv shows that i purchased on my ipod

    recently i had to delete all my songs and tv shows that i had purchased and had to get them back from apple. (got a new computer and wanted to start over) The tv shows that i had purchased are in my library on itunes. but i'm not sure where to look for them in my ipod. i have updated my ipod so they should be in there somewhere, can someone direct me to where i can find them in my ipod. When i look under purchased all i see are the songs that i had purchased, not the tv shows. are they in there someplace? please someone tell me where in the ipod i can find these tv shows. i purchased a few epidsodes of desperate housewives, alfred hitchcock and the munsters and can not find them in my ipod!! help!!

    i've had a problem where i've downloaded video podcasts and they have not shown up on the iPod, despite the fact i've manually added them and that at one point they were there. and yes, they are in my library.
    what i discovered was that if i play the video in iTunes first, then add it to my iPod, it seems to appear on the iPod and it works just fine. no idea why, tho.
    worth a try, i guess. good luck!

  • Creating a private ICloud that will not be shared with my family?

    I recently lost (and recovered) all of my data on my phone, so now I'm looking into ICloud to prevent this from happening again.  My family currently uses the same Apple ID for itunes and this works fine, but I am under the impression that if i back up all my data on ICloud it will be shared with everyone using this account along with me.  Is there a way to create a private SEPERATE ICloud backup that only I have access to?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a separate Apple ID to create a personal iCloud account.  Your synced data, photo stream and backup will be kept separate from your family.
    You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes, it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

  • Can i synch iphone calendar that is not on iCloud with my macbook that was on iCloud which i just signed out of and lost that info?

    i signed into icloud last night on my macbook, but now realize i don't want to use it.  I have looked at a lot of threads to try to figure out how to sign out, get rid of it and not lose my contacts, calendar and documents and data.  I did a time machine backup thinking i could just get it back that way afterwards. So i signed out and have lost my contacts etc. My question is,  i had not set icloud up on my iphone, so if i synched my phone with my macbook will it synch the lost contacts and calendars with my macbook or will i lose that information of  my phone as well? The time machine backup up i did seemed to have that information missing as well. I am confused!
    thanks for any help

    Thanks for reply, I had just updated to 10.8.5 on macbook. I had set up icloud  on my macbook, signing in with password etc. it all happened so quick and it didnt allow me time to say no to document and data backup. At that stage i was interested only in having my calendar being able to be read over my iphone and macbook etc. When i realized icloud was not suitable to me, i looked up several threads on this issue. Then  i went into system- icloud  and it said backup now and because my usage was 4.99g unused out of 5g i just thought it hadn't got to that stage of backing up and that  it would be safe to go through the process of signing out which of course involves having to press the delete of mac if i wanted to sign out.
    sorry if long winded but i am unfamiliar with icloud as you can see but icloud  is not suited to me and just want to get my stuff back out of icloud and restore my comp to the way it was.
    thanks for your help

  • How to find BEx queries that were not used along with no of times executed

    Hi SDN,
    I need build a query which shows the BEx reports that were not used and also the number times the query was executed.
    I built the query on "multiprovider 0TCT_MC01" in which I used the KF "0TCTQUCOUNT" then the query is not capturing this information, while executing from Portal. ( as stated in /thread/716593 [original link is broken]).
    If anybosy happen to know the solution please share.
    Also
    as stated in this link (BW 3.5 Statistics - User Hits)
    Is there any infoobject which has the exact functionality as of the "0TCTNAVCTR" of 0BWTC_C02 (we can not use 0BWTC_C02 as we are in BW 7 SP16).
    I think it is very well known issue but there is not any exact solution to it if anybody finds the solution please update this points will be assigned
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    Try from one of these tables RSZRANGE, RSZELTXREF,
    RSZELTTXT,RSRREPDIR,RSZSELECT,RSZCOMPDIR.
    There is a field 'Last Used'.
    You can get some info when Query was used last

  • I show that I have downloaded Firefox on my MacBook Pro but don't see an icon to add to my Dock. What do I do?

    How do I find it? It isn't in my Application's.

    Hi!
    This article ([[How to sync Firefox settings between computers]]) explains how to set up your Sync account in several devices.
    From what I can understand in your questions, you are missing the Part 3: your laptop is fully synched but your desktop is not. Once you configure it, the synching should be fairly quick and all the data from both computers will be merged. If it takes longer than expected, you could force it by clicking on the "Sync Now" button that appears in the Firefox button (Tools category in Win XP and Mac OS X) once the device is properly configured.
    Let me know if you still have doubts.

  • Am getting message that scanner is not compatible with my macbook and to use twain software. Any suggestions?

    Need help with downloading driver for scanner . Have HP M1005 MFP. Am getting message to use twain software. Any suggestions?

    Your  HP M1005 MFP all in one is too old and unsupported for 10.8.5
    HP's site says that OS X 10.3 and 10.4 are supported. It does not, repeat, does NOT mention 10.5 much less newer.
    Also there is no patch support for same on the last resort:

    Nothing on earth is as aggravating as twain drivers for scanners.  Ive installed every make and model on PC and Mac, and theyre all  hair-pulling-worthy.

  • In finder, it says that I am shared to a pc which I didn't know about nor do i know the pc, how do I stop sharing with it?

    In finder, it says that I am shared to a pc which I didn't know about nor do i know the pc, how do I stop sharing with it?

    I gather that you are seeing other "pee-seas" (and | other hosts) in MAC OSX Finder UI under SHARED ? T/F ??  The Finder is reflecting what others are sharing.
    In any case consider these items:
    1) Other hosts on your network (local) have ITEMS (folders and structures) that they themselves are sharing
    with anyone on there network and to others outside who will access them via a specic host nae or address. KInda like your mate who has some files he wants to share with you. You connect to his host (machine) either by a host name (yourmate.com), an IP address (33.33.33.11) or on your local area network usually over Bonjour (yourmates_macbookair.local).
    Simply THEY ARE sharing their stuff with you and this your MACs FINDER makes then apear under the SHARED parion of the side bar in the UI. This is likely what you are seeing
    microsoft platforms have their users share DIRECTORIES mainly through the SHARING properties for that opject. YEp.. and then you can at a minimum SEE it . HOwever this doesnt mean you can access the contents.... This is all familiar to most.. nothing to be concerned about.
    Probably no need for concern.....
    (IMO), its amazing the number of PC users that unknowingly expose their folder contents on a hotel WIFI or ETHERNET network... its astonishing....!
    2) YOUR CONCERN that you are sharing your stuff:
    I'll hazard a guess that form you minmal description that you may feel that others on your network can SEE YOUR STUFF?? Bt Default, any user can see ANYTHING you have put in your ~/Public folder (theis is your Public folder in your home directory. Usually they can ONLY read whats there unless you have gone out of your way to change the ACCESS CONTROL LIST (ACL) to an access for others other than READ ONLY.
    An extention so to speak of this sharing is the concept of a "DROP BOX" that is also maintained by default in your homes public folder (~/Public/Drop Box). This is very useful for people to GIVE you their files by DROPPING then into this ~/Public/Drop Box folder.
    So THIS folder is exposed for all to see on your local network.
    How to stop anyone seeing anything?.. easy..
    Step 1: go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES/Sharing/ and UNTICK the  "File Sharing" service. Its probably already unticked. This will stop exposing anything that you have shared to others. pee-sea users may need your to enable SMB/CIFS TO READ YOUR STUFF. YOU WONT HAVE THIS ENABLED UNLESS YOU DID IT YOURSELF. Additionally there are windows .apps to read mac file systems too... so stopping all fie sharing will do the trick
    Step 1.1: if you dont want others to see your ~/Public folder either then simply select the Public folder in your finder, open the Finder inspector (+i), open the disclosure triangle for "sharing and permissions" and then set the access by others to "NO ACCESS"
    Step 2: while you are in SYSTEM PREFERENCES/Sharing/ and UNTICK the  "Remote Login" and "Screen Sharing" services. Its very likely already unticked. This will stop exposing remote services such as ssh and vnc anything that you have shared to others.
    Step 3: for extra go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES/Security/Firewall and enable any setting for network here that you want to disable or filter... seek out these apple discussion forums.. tonnes of stuff here on his.
    Others reading this thread will also have good advice and opinions.
    Post your results for others to see.
