Name of the computer is constantly changing

I have a mac Pro 2010 on a network in which I have a macbook, a macbook pro and an airport Express all connected by wifi to the same base station. The problem is that I frequently get in the Mac Pro the warning that another computer is using the name Mac Pro ABC and this has been changed by Mac Pro ABC (2), for example.
I have reviewed the names of all the devices on your network and their configurations and it keeps coming.
What can I do?
Thank you.

Thank you Linc.
I haven't two simultaneous connections to the same local network, is only connected by wifi.
However, I have a device that communicates with my Mac Pro via an ethernet port. It is a Lexicon PCM92 sound effects processor (http://www.lexiconpro.com//en-US/products/pcm92#downloads).
LINC, may relationship have this problem with my other discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18870937#18870937 ?
Thank you.

  • Changing the name of the computer

    Hey all, where do you go to change the name of the computer? I want to know bc when i go to the system profiler theres a (2) behind the name of that i have chosen. I dont know where this (2) came from and i would like to change it.
    Thanks!

    Go to System Preferences > Sharing. The name of your computer is in a box at the top of the preferences panel. Click on the edit button to change the name.
    If the choices in the Sharing preferences are grayed out, you will need to click on the padlock in the lower left corner and enter your password.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iphone is recognized as my wife's iphone by my computer. I believe this is preventing my wife from making necessary changes to her phone. Any thoughts on how to change the name on the computer?

    A few weeks back, I connected my wife's iphone to my computer to download an update. Since that time, wheneve I connect my phone, the computer recognizes it as hers. ITunes correctly identifies the phone, but the computer does not. Is there any way to change the name with the computer. I canot locate any way to do this.
    Thanks.

    i suspect that this problem is under windows, like mine, the solution was go to start/run/regedit and then look for the name that you want to change, for example, if your wife's name is susan, use the search option in regedit to look for every possible susan word you find and then chage susan for pete, if pete is your name. Only the Susans related to the iphone name, dont change everything with susan in it, is easy to know wich one is related to the iphone name, don't worry. This procedure worked for me. good luck

  • Changing the name of the computer and the effect on Time Machine?

    I have a new iMac and used my MacBook Pro's Time Machine backup to migrate over. Everything works fine and the entire system, settings, everything are just like on my MBP, plus whatever was needed to make the wireless kb and mouse work. So that's all fine.
    The only thing is, the name of the computer is also DougMacBookPro.
    I have a 1TB drive I freshly formatted for Time Machine backups just for this new machine. The old backup on a portable USB drive still exists for when my MBP comes back from repairs (portable Time Machine for travel).
    Anyway, to my question. In the 1TB new Time Machine drive, the name of the backup folder is Backups.backupdb > DougMacBookPro.
    I probably should have changed the name of the computer prior to doing my first Time Machine backup. And I can always start over since I only have half a day of backups anyway.
    But my question is, what happens if I change my computer name now, after Time Machine has already started backing up? Will it rename the folder? Will it create a whole new folder, thus wasting all the space from the initial backup?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Sorry. I see this question has been answered elsewhere and that TM is clever enough to automatically change the backup folder name.
    Thanks,

  • Name of the computer

    Hi,
    Is it possible to know the name of the computer of the user how is executing a SQL statement, with a SQL or a PL/SQL function ?
    Thank you for your help.

    You can also create customs triggers:
    [email protected]> create table t(id int);
    Table created.
    [email protected]> create table t_log(id int,host varchar2(30));
    Table created.
    [email protected]> create trigger t_ins_trig before insert on t
    2 for each row
    3 begin
    4 insert into t_log values(:new.id,sys_context('userenv','host'));
    5 end;
    6 /
    Trigger created.
    [email protected]> insert into t values(1)
    2 /
    1 row created.
    [email protected]> select * from t_log;
    ID HOST
    1 ENT\GDNNB56

  • Tracking the name of the column that is changed

    hi
    How i can track the following information about a table
    say i hve the table name tab1 which is like this
    col1 col2
    1 2
    Now if i change the value of col1 by a trigger i can track the change value but how can i track the name of the column
    say in the table tab2 i am tracking the result
    changed_col_name changed_val prev_val
    now changed val and prevval can be tracked by trigger but in the column changed_col_name how i can track the name of the column which i changed?
    Thanx in advance

    You are being rather unclear here.
    If you change the name of a column your trigger will need to be amended. I don't think you're actually asking to track changing actual column names.
    What you require is to track value changes and want to know how to assign which value to which column.
    each value is associated with a column, therefore if you track that the 5th value in your value clause has changed that means that the column that is affected is the 5th column in your column list.
    A simple if block would do the trick.
    But probably a better suggestion is to store the rows in a history table.
    Each time theres a change insert into the history table (which has its key column based on a sequence or a timestamp)
    Then to see whats changed you can merely compare the current row to the previous row

  • HT3275 What if my error message is the following:  The backup disk image "/Volumes/********'s Time Capsul/****'s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use. (I have redacted the name of the computer with asterixes)

    What if my error message is the following:  The backup disk image “/Volumes/********'s Time Capsul/****’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. (I have redacted the name of the computer with asterixes)

    This is a complex procedure.  
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a minute or two
    Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
    This will fix the issue 98% of the time. If you are in the unlucky 2% category, more help is here from Pondini, the Time Machine guru:
    The Backup disk image ... sparsebundle ... is already in use.

  • HT5868 How to untrust the computer if I change mind?

    How to untrust the computer if I change mind?

    Deauthorizing/authorizing is different than untrusting/trusting.
    Apple in
    iOS: 'Trust This Computer' alert
    says
    Note: If you select Trust, the computer will be trusted indefinitely.
    However, this says if you manually delete a file it will be untrusted.

  • When I installed Mountain Lion it asked the name of my computer. I was in such a hurry that I now have a typo. How can I go back and change the name of the computer?

    How do I change the name of my computer?

    One area that this appears is on Facebook where it lists the number of Recognized Devices. There are six devices which include iPad and iPhone. These items are grayed and you are unable to change. Also on my iphone it lists the computer name. This name is different from name of my computer. It's what I signed in as when I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I know I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. I have searched everywhere on my computer that I can think of and cannot locate where this is used. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • Report issue , logical name of the system has been changed

    Hi
    Recently our system has been upgraded to ECC5.0. In a particular report  while drilling down we get  error. The error says the original doc can not be shown as it belongs to logical system ( DRH-123) . Now we know that this logical name of the system was in old box . The new logical name is DRH-100 . We are saying it's a basis issue and the basis team is saying it's FICO issue.Has any body encountered this type of problem. ? In my report  i have never mentioned logical name of the system.Hence unable to understand it. But so far what I have understood , that the each box  has been partioned and given a system name which is called logical name.Now that logical name they have changed in new box.My initial response was change the logical name but basis says that is a big task and more over it has been a while when they changed it.
    Gurus, Kindly shed some light on this mess.
    Thanks in advance

  • When i delete an audio book from my computer it does not delete the book from my Iphone. it seems to be deleting the name from the computer but not the content. this has just started happening since the last itune progam updated. the result is i have

    I record audio books from my library onto my old iPhone. I download the book from Overdrive to my computer. I connect the Iphone to the computer and transfer the audio-book to the iPhone.  When I am done listening to the book i delete it from the iPhone by connecting it to the computer and doing a manual sync. this worked fine until the last i-tunes update on my computer. Now when the iPhone is connected and i tell the computer to delete a book it is only deleting the name of the book on the computer it is not deleting the book from the phone. The next time I connect the phone to the computer the program does not show the book in the phone but it is still in the phone.  I have no more room on my phone to get any new books on it.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Please

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • Can the system name of the Fabric Interconnects be changed

    I need to change the system name of the Fabric interconnects
    I have given eg. EDCD
    the FI now have EDCD-A
    EDCD-B
    I need to change it to ... ECCD-A
    ECCD-B..
    is it possible ?

    Shyam,
    You can definitely do it and for sure is not disruptive and take effect right away.    Just go to the Admin tab> All> Management Interfaces> Name > Edit it with what you need > Apply.
    It is so easy and fast that if at the same time you have an SSH session, as soon as you change the name, the system makes the change on your SSH session too.
    Note: There is no need to look for the way to do this on each fabric. The name you are changing is for both FIs and the system will then add the xya-A or xya-B by itself.

  • When I open Firefox my screen resolution changes and when I fix it on the computer it auto changes back in 10 seconds. I looked at the compatibility and nothing is checked. This started out of nowhere.

    I have used FF for about a year on my Dell Inspiron 15 and now every time I open it the resolution changes on me. If I close FF everything goes back to normal resolution. No problems with other browsers just FF. I went into the properties and tried to fix the compatibility but nothing was checked. I checked for any new updates that happened automatically but there haven't been any for days before this started. I have all my Grad school bookmarks on FF and I don't want to uninstall.

    This can be a problem with the localstore.rdf file.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.<br />
    Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window.
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.
