I hope you are correct.  When I click on the Macintosh HD icon on my desk top the sidebar  section that says shared shows the server I mentioned. 
Just as I said.
If i click on that shared device it logs in as a guest unless I cancel that action.
No, it logs your computer into that server as a guest.
I never knowingly  ok'ed sharing with another network or computer. 
Perhaps not, but the printer is set up (possibly at manufacture) to offer services to computers on its network.
IF I click on the shared device to delete it a message says I cannot do that.  Any thoughts?
It the device is still on your network and still offering services, it will be listed as available. If it leaves the network or stops offering services, it should leave the list of available servers.
I suppose it might be handy to have a "hide this server" or "pretend this server doesn't exist" button, but we don't have one.

  • HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds.  How do I work this thing?

    I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on.  Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything!  Help!  What do I do to get this thing going?

    You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

  • I just inherited a 64GB ipad. I have passwords for the deceased person but would like to sync it with my mac osx.  Know nothing about ipads. Help please

    I just inherited a 64 GB ipad.  I have passwords for the deceased person but would like to reset everything and start new. I use a mac/0SX but know nothing about an ipad other than turning it on.  I am in the same household as the deceased person but does not seem to be recognizing the wireless setup.  Any help would be appreciated. Any recommendations as to where to start.

    That's really enough information. You can update this iPad to iOS 6.1.2. If there is a microphone icon next to the space bar on the keyboard, you have an iPad 3. But if you are saying that it hasn't been touched for over a year, it probably is not the iPad 3. The iPad 3 is one year old this week IIRC.
    If you want, you can go to Settings >General>About>Model to find the model number and it you Google that, you can find out which version of the iPad it is.
    I just wanted to see what iOS you would be able to update to. I'm not sure what else to tell you other than what we've already stated. You should set this up as new, update the iOS and then start all over again with you own iTunes content.
    The link that Eric posted would be a good place to start so that you can get an idea of what the iPad can do. If you want to restore the iPad back to factory settings, you will need to do this with iTunes on your Mac. You must be running OS X 10.6.8 at minimum and must be using iTunes 10.6.3 (I think) in order to syn with iTunes on the Mac.
    This explains how to restore to factory settings.

    if you are that uncomfortable trying to do this on your own, and if there is an Apple Store near you, make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and ask an Apple tech to help you with it. That is what they do. There is no charge for an Apple Store Genius Bar visit. The stores also offer classes for the iPad that you might find useful as well.

  • I can't receive my incoming mail. ESP is yahoo.  Error msg says unable to connect with POP server.  Any solution?

    I can't receive my incoming mail in Mac Mail. ESP is yahoo.  Error msg says unable to connect with POP server.  Any solution?  I am able to get my incoming messages via yahoo website but not through the Mail app.

    Try this, if it is not the correct department, ask them for the number or to be transfered..
    Call 1-800-318-0612 for Login Help
    Also on most autmated systems, if you hit 00000, or ##### you can sometimes get thru to a person.
    Is Yahoo your Internet provider? Do you have  a local provider? ei:AT&T, SBC,  cable co, check who you make your check or epatment to...etc, If so I would start there, but if no joy go to the "Mothership"
    I may be wrong about this, (it's been a long time now) I may have deleted my mail account from Mail (after writing down all the info from all General/accounts, and the rest of the tabs, and then added a new account using my existing email address, and it may have "walked me thru the rest of the proceedure".
    But like I said it was a long time ago 3-4 years, but that may have been the path I ended up taking, make sure to write all the info down in case you need to re-enter it all manually. Then try calling them.
    All the best

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • ICloud is asking me for my old Apple ID which is with an email that no longer exists. How do I change it to my new Apple ID?

    iCloud is asking me for my old Apple ID which is with an email that no longer exists. How do I change it to my new Apple ID?

    If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

    With the update of my iphone5 I lost features in my audiobooks. Before the chapters were listed with their descriptions - that's gone!! How come Apple?

    Okay, that is the latest iOS. As far as shortcuts are concerned, they should be available. Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Shortcuts. You should find the settings and area to enter new ones there. The area to set what numbers to receive calls from in DND mode are in Settings, Notifications, Do Not Disturb, and then then Allow Calls From.
    Does this help?
