Network message. What does it mean?

I often get this message :The name of your computer “iMac-D49A20FF7A3E (8)” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “iMac-D49A20FF7A3E (9)”. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Hi, it means different Sharing Services have tried using the Network & likely failed, sometimes it's innocuous, sometimes you need to rename it in System Preferences>Sharing.

    Wi-Fi is turned on but is not connected to a network. What does this mean?  How do I fix it?

    Hi, Kozou. Welcome to the forums!
    Connect your computer to the Express's Ethernet port and open AirPort Utility. Does this allow AirPort Utility to find your Express?
    If so, go through the setup process. After the Express restarts, disconnect it from the computer and connect it to your DSL, cable modem, or whatever provides your internet connection. Wait a minute or so. The light on the Express should turn green.
    Now tell your MBP to join the wireless network created by the Express. You can do this using the AirPort menu or the Network pane of System Preferences.
    Does this work?

  • TS2972 apple tv can't sign in to iTunes Store until the network time has been set. this is an Apple generated message. what does it mean? how can i fix it? very very very simple questions but there is no reasonable answer from Apple anywhere on the intern

    this is an apple generated message. simple!
    what does it mean? so far no one at apple has a clue.
    how do i fix it? nothing even begins to address this issue so far. generalities about system setup show a lack of respect for customers. yes my system is plugged in and i have reset and rebooted and rechecked everything. i need help because this a real problem that needs a real solution, not more platitudes.
    help please, not more wasting of my time. i have spent an entire afternoon on this already.

    this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
    this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
    i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
    remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
    i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
    should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
    at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
    thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..

  • Backup failed . Make sure your computer and backup drive are on the same network. What does this mean?

    Backup Failed.  Comment is "Make sure your computer and backup disc are on the sme network and the backup disc is turned on".  What does this mean?

    Just back from the dentist.
    Did a hard reset and when i asked time capsule to do a backup it tells
    me
    "Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image is already in use"
    I think I misunderstand how this back up device works.
    Is it to be plugged into the back of the router with an ethernet cable?
    I have the Time capsule sitting beside my Imac.
    The cable modem and router are in another room
    I am new at this stuff.  Thank you for patience and help

    Lila

    I found out that happens to me when my IPhone is trying to retrieve mail at the same time as other apps. Either my Yahoo! mail page is up at work or I left my Mail.app open at home. If I try a few minutes later it's usually cleared up.

    I just got a new Mac and wanted to transfer my old iTunes library to it.  After a night of attempting to import the old library to the new Mac it said that the library was damaged and subsequent restarts yielded the 13010 error.  I deleted everything listed, did a number of iTunes reintalls and the only thing that has allowed iTunes to continue is to dig up a backup library (which is in progress now).  Barring this working, how can I get it so that iTunes boots again as if it is factory fresh?

  • Alert message, what does it mean? 192.168.1.101 in use by 00:13:ce:b8:69:14

    I receive the following alert message, generally after awakening my iBook G4 for the first time in the morning and without an internet connection:
    192.168.1.101 in use by 00:13:ce:b8:69:14, DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
    Does anyone know what it means? Thanks!

    Well, not knowing your exact setup, I can only tell you what it means. The DHCP server (I'm guessing on an airport base station) believes it has already assigned the IP address your iBook already has to another computer. 00:13:ce:b8:69:14 is your MAC address (the address hard-coded into a network card). To find out if that's your MAC address, select about this Mac form the Apple Menu, then click on more info. In the left pane, click on Network, then click on the network interface you're using. You can find your MAC address in there. If it's different form yours, you'll know there's a freeloading neighbor. If it is your address, you'll need to provide more info on your setup so that someone can help you figure out how to fix this.

  • Permissions Warning Message -- What does this mean?

    I was helping my mother (over the phone) to Repair Permissions in Disk Utility since her Mac Mini was experiencing some odd glitches like not being able to restart or shut down. Everything else seems to work fine.
    When repairing permissions she got this message:
    *+Warning: SUID File "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARD Agent.tp/Contents/MacOS/ARD Agent" has been modified and will not be repaired.+*
    Does anyone know what this means and if it could be the source of her problem? She is using OS 10.6.0 Snow Leopard, updated recently from OS 10.5 Leopard at an Apple Store. Thanks.

    this message is harmless and should be ignored. everybody gets it.

  • I have a new hp 2050 printer and received a 10.0000 supply memory error message. what does this mean

    I have a new hp 2050 printer and received a 10.0000 supply memory error message. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it?

    mickeymackey, this error looks similar to a related error code that I found for laserjets. Here is a summation of that error code:
    http://goo.gl/W7dP6
    This describes the problem as being a cartridge error, in which case I would follow the instructions in this document and see if that resolves the issue:
    http://goo.gl/h6hWz
    that does not resolve the issue, then I would recommend performing a hard reset of the printer. This would involve unplugging the printer for thirty seconds from both the back of the unit as well as from the outlet it is plugged into and then plugging the machine back in and powering it on.
    A few additional questions are: Is this printer plugged into a surge protector, wall outlet or battery backup? The ink you are using, are they original HP cartriges or have they been refilled before?
    Let me know!

    I am also seeing this error message when I run in Verbose mode. The reason I turned on verbose mode was to locate a tremendous memory leak. I see a few messages on the same subject but I do not see any answers. Has anyone found the solution to this?

    I think I narrowed this down to having a network volume mounted with a  share name of "Users".  The strange thing is even you if unmount the  volume you will still have problems.  However, if you avoid mounting the  volume entirely (from boot) it will be OK.
    The  solution, it appears, is to rename the sharepoint to something other  than "Users".  This worked for us.  I'm not sure if it matters whether  the server is Windows or Mac OS.  In our case the sharepoint was an AFP  volume on Mac OS.
    We had other errors related to Bridge  such as "unable to create folder" and the path in the message appeared  to be /Users/currentUser/.....  which made no sense at all.  However, if  Bridge was internally trying to use /Volumes/Users (the mounted  sharepoint), it would not only not find "currentUser", but it would not  have permissions to create that folder either.
    So, another possible solution could be to grant file creation rights on the network volume "Users".  Another not-so-great idea.
    Hope that helps someone else!
