Other iMac appears as Bonjour computer AND Connected Server

Is this right? In Finder preferences I have Connected servers and Bonjour computers set to show in the sidebar. My wife's iMac appears as both a Bonjour computer AND a Connected server. We have two PC's here as well and they appear (correctly) as Bonjour computers. My iMac appears as Connected server only on wife's iMac.
It's not really a problem but you know how it is - you just want everything to be right. So is there a reason for this that I can fix?
Thanks.

Just thought I'd mention that if I try to connect to wife's iMac through Bonjour the connection fails.

    My Ipod Classic appears in My Computer when I connected it to my new Windows 8 pc. When Itunes starts my Ipod is no longer appears in My Computer and is not shown under Devices in Itunes. It appears that Itunes disconnects my Ipod from the pc. My Ipod still sync's up fine with Itunes on my old Windows XP pc.

  • My contacts will not appear on my computer and when I go to the webpage for Icloud, it says that I can't connect to the server.

    My contacts will not appear on my computer and when I go to the webpage for Icloud, it says there is an error and that I can't connect to the server. (which may have something to do with the facts that my contacts have disappeared.)

    The iphone is not a storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception being itunes purchases.
    You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

    Hello, bluebelle95. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • Why can't Apple TV's and iOS devices see home sharing on my Windows 7 computer when iTunes libraries on other computers on the same network and connected to the same Home Sharing can?

    I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.
    When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.
    I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.
    One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.
    One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.
    I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • Ipod Nano does not appear in "My Computer" and "Itunes"

    I was charging my Ipod Nano. I erased all the songs from the nano to create a new playlist. The Ipod froze in the "Do not disconnect" phase. It was disconnected a few hours later (not intentionally). Now it has disappeared from Itunes and the computer does not recognize it. The Ipod screen still says "Do not Disconnect". I have tried to reconnect the device many times. I have tried to "toggle the hold button" and even shut the computer down and restarted it to see if it would recognize the ipod. No luck. I cannot turn the ipod on and the screen is still dark and the "Do Not Disconnect" seems to be perminant. HELP!

    See if any of these articles help.

  • 2011 Essentials "The backup versions on this computer and the server do not match"

    I have been unable to get one of my client computers to backup successfully. The first error was it could not successfully take a snapshot. I finally figured out it had to be the GPT disk issue, so I installed the KB2781278 hotfix on the server. Restarted
    server and restarted workstation. Now, I get the above error about the versions not matching. Additionally, if I try to configure the workstation backup on the server, it says the backup is not successfully setup. An unknown error prevented the server from
    performing the task. Both services are running, btw. Update, just realized I can't configure any backups from the server. Time to uninstall hotfix? Any advice for a frustrated user? Thanks!

    i have the same issue - WHS2011 - laptop with GPT disc
    installed hotfix KB2781272, rebooted server, removed connector from laptop - rebooted - reinstalled connector - rebooted
    now get backup version mismatch
    tried reinstalling 2781272, but says already installed (haven't tried removing yet)
    can't find KB2934953 in windows update
     mark
    can't backup any of my existing non-GPT systems either
    My KB2934953 appeared in an "optional" update in Windows Update. Maybe there is a way to install it directly. KB2934953 is what solved my problem, finally. Now, if I could just get the Pro Pack to install...
