Printers keep showing up even when name has been changed in or deleted

Running 10.5.8 on our xserve. Earlier another and myself went in and changed printer names, deleted old ones. Problem is this. Our school recently bought new laptops for our teachers, running 10.8. We used migration asst. to bring their items and profiles over to the new machines. As teachers are getting back, they can not print. The printers showing up are the old names, along with the new ones and the drivers that were installed are not there. Wondering how to get rid of the printers that have been deleted from showing up in the Printer list. I was thinking it had something to do with the old profiles sharing all the printer lists accross the network.

The Migration Assistant (or something else) obviously found the old printer definitions... Somewhere. AFAIK, there's no sharing of any of these printer settings across the network, barring continued visibility of the old printer names via printer Bonjour announcements or some such, or getting the printer settings loaded into the clients via LDAP.
One usual approach for managing larger numbers of client boxes involves tools such as Munki and Puppet, or equivalent. Munki generally for the package-handling and installation stuff, and Puppet for the configuration management and issuing commands.
Various commercial MDM software packages are also used.
With OS X and OS X Server 10.8, a printer profile would be another common approach, though your 10.5.8 server well predates any profile support. (The MDM packages also usually tie directly into the profile management, as can Puppet.

After installing new operating system software, my user account name has been changed and i don't know the password.

i need help!
I just installed Mac OS Maverick in my laptop, but when i checked the Users&Groups There are only 2 User name 1 is "Apple(admin) and 2 is Guest, my user account name has been changed even the password. how can i retrieve my old user account name and password or how can i changed it?

Here's an updated set of instructions you can try:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

HT5167 Error after 10.7.4 upgrade..."computer's local hostname ........is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to...... What to do now to get it back to status before 10.7.4 upgrade?

Error after 10.7.4 Lion Upgrade to iMac
Computer's local host name .......is already in use on this network. the name has been changed to........
and it keeps adding up the number each time I wake the iMac.
What to do to get it back before upgrade error?

Ok worth repeating, hope this works. Finally spoke to AppleCare Support and walked me thru following...restart computer holding down "command" and "option" keys at the same time with letters "P" and "R" when computer turns on. This is what he called a PR restart, clears out discrepancies in memory (if that is what the error message actually is). Then went to Systems Preferences/Network/Sharing and deleted the number that kept increasing every time MAC would wake up.
Even tho this was just done, I am hopeful that error pop-up won't happen again. Fingers crossed!

Can you track a form if the file name has been changed after distribution?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro -- I then used the distribute feature and sent the form to myself using the internal server. After testing the form, and making sure all was good, I copied the attachment from the email I received when I distributed the form to myself, and sent it to my boss (via outlook). He then changed the file name, and sent the form out to our members. Our members are completing this newly-changed document instead of the original form. They are able to "Submit The Form", and it still looks as though its coming back to me via the dialogue box. However, I have no received any responses in my original document's tracking. When I tried submitting this new form myself to see what happened, I just received an message that says "Your response is being queued for submission", but it never tells you whether the form was actually submitted or not. Is there any way that you can track this form even though the file name has been changed? And if people are submitting their forms to me, where are they going?
Please help!
thanks,

I understand that you don't want to redo all the linking with the markers. You can try following (make a copy of your project first to be safe) :
- close your project and quit DVDSP
- move your old asset, and replace it with the new one
- reopen your project
A warning message should tell you that this asset has changed, but your marker will remain at old position. If the asset length are not the same, old length information will be used by DVDSP. To correct this, delete the asset from the timeline, and drop it back to the timeline.
Now you just have to move the marker to the right position.

RSA1 error Logical system name has been changed for this system

Hello All,
Earlier the RSA1 was activated for client 300 on our crm 5.2. after that we changed the client to 500 using SE16 -> Type table RSADMINA / Check Colum BWMANDT -> 500.
But now when we login to client 500 and execute RSA1 it is showing
Logical system name has been changed for this system"
In scc4 we have not made any changes. Can you tell what should be done ? in the pop up it is showing following steps
Change the name of the logical system (table T000) for client back to SIDCLNT300. This enables you to continue working with the system.
If you really want to change the logical name, than you can, if and when you:
change the system name back to SIDCLNT300,
delete all existing connections between this system and other systems,
delete all transfer structures that still exist, and
do not use ALE or Workflow.
Guys do you know how to fix this ? .
Also do you know Assignment of Source System to Source System ID (table RSSOURSYSTEM) using RSA1 ?
Edited by: Sahad K on Mar 17, 2008 10:55 AM

Hello Hari,
Both the options you said cannot be used
since the logical system SIDCLNT300 is used by client 300 and it cannot be given to client 500. Also there already exist a logical system SIDCLNT500 which is assigned to client 500.
I found out the issue. In the table RSBASIDOC the logical system name that can use rsa1( bw client )is set as SIDCLNT300). Only if we delete that entry and set it to SIDCLNT500 ( 500) we can use it on client 500.
The solution is specified in /message/3284842#3284842 [original link is broken]
Let me try the solution 2 and inform you.
Solution 2:
You cannot delete the source system. Two cases have to be distinguished:
The source system still exists.
Switch to Transaction SM59. Find the destination which has the same name as the logical system of the source system from field SLOGSYS in table RSBASIDOC (see above).
Such a destination does not exist in Transaction SM59. In this case, you have to create the destination to the source system. Name the destination equal the entry in SLOGSYS from above. Then return to the Administrator Workbench and repeat the deletion.
The entry exists but a remote login is not possible. Correct the communication parameters.
Everything works. Change to Transaction SE37, function module RSAR_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_DELETE, Sngl. test. Parameter I_LOGSYS = <log. name of the source system>, I_FORCE_DELETE = 'X'.
The source system no longer exists or was replaced with another source system with the same IP address.
Proceed as described in the first case but make sure, that the field 'Target host' contains a not existing server in the maintenance screen of the destination (Transaction SM59). If necessary, change an existing entry. Later when you delete, the system asks you whether you want to delete, although the source system is not available. Select 'Ignore'.
Incase you have any idea other than this please let me know how to edit the RSBASIDOC table and change the entry to client 500.

BI:Logical system name has been changed for This System

Hi, Gurus,
I want to Use my IDES SAP ERP 7.0 as my BI system for training purposes,when iam executing the transaction RSA1 in the system it is giving message
"Logical system name has been changed for
system"
I Have changed the entries in table "RSADMINA" and maintained the Client no as 100 (My base client for BI) which i have copied from 001.
When iam executing the Transaction RSA1 in 100 it is giving above mentioned error ,whereas in 001 it is working fine.
Please Help . ..
I tried to change the system logical name by "bdls" but it doesnt worked........

Hi Deepak,
Check the entries in table RSLOGSYSMAP (this is meant for correct conversion of logical system names for tansports).
You can easily maintain the entries using tcode RSLGMP.
Hope it helps.

PS I'm not a basis guy but do you have a correct BI installation yet?

What does this mean? This computer's local hostname "Linda-Daviss-iMac-4.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "Linda-Daviss-iMac-5.local".

What does this mean: This computer’s local hostname “Linda-Daviss-iMac-4.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “Linda-Daviss-iMac-5.local”.
When I came back to my computer this message was on the screen. Should I be concerned ? or doing something?

Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
Sometimes it happens because a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

Should I ok "this computer's local hostname Irma-Mac-mini-local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to Irma2 Mac-mini 2-local

Should I ok this message-this computer's local hostname Irma's Mac-mini-local is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to Irma's Mac-mini-2local

Don't think this is a conflict with IP Addresses or computer names
= DHCP hangover when computer renews DHCP lease
There is no actual other computer
It just appears that way when reconnects so creates new -2 computer name
What types of names do you use your computers ?
Whether you name them after quantum particles or the romantic poets...
They will each start to be appended with "-2" then "-3" etc if you auto configure network settings from Airport Router DHCP service and you have this Change computer name issue where pop up window states name is already being used on your LAN
As stated previous post you can reset the computer name in SysPrefs / Sharing / Edit button
And restart Router or renew all DHCP leases (if persists in not allowing original name)
Can now press Edit and reset name of choice
But for Fix see link above

BI Error Logical system name has been changed for this system

Hello All,
I have installed the BI system and did a client copy from 000 to 200 client with profile SAP_ALL.
Now I have loged into the system with client 200 and wen I run RSA1, I am getting the following error
message: "Logical system name has been changed for this system"
Thanks
Sekhar..

Hi,
Goto tcode SCC4.
Switch to change mode. (System will prompt that this table is cross client. Continue)
Select your client (in this case 200). Click on details button (next to change mode button)
Enter the proper logical system name in Logical system field.
Click on Save button.
Then try RSA1.
Hope it helps

I recently got a message on my screen that says "the name of your computer is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to *

I recently got a message with an exclamation mark stating "your computer name is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to ______"
How did this happen, is it phishing, malware, or did someone hit some button on here to change it. I'm hoping that someone else doesn't have access to everything on my computer now. Help!

Hello RaptorTrish,
Interesting name! You don't say what computer you are using, the OS or the nature of the network, home, office etc. Could you fill in a few details.
You are right to be concerned but there is often a simple explanation.

Every time i wake my mac i get This computer's local hostname "D-360.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "D-444.local".

error message that my local host name is in use and the system generates a new one every time I wake my mac the error mssg reads This computer’s local hostname “D-360.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “D-444.local”.

There are several possible causes for this behavior.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local". Resolve the name conflict by renaming one or more of them in the Sharing preference pane.
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.

I get this message:This computer's local hostname "x-8.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "x-9.local" I have turned off sharing and it continues to upgrade name. What is the fix?

I get this message: This computer’s local hostname “x-8.local” is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to “x-9.local” I have turned off sharing and it continues to upgrade name. What is the fix?

Hi, this is a common problem, mostly just irksome though.
It can have many cause, like using more than one Interface for connections, Router temporarily losing x.local & seeing a new connection with x.local already used, insists it must be x-1.local, x-2.local, etc..
What all Sharing do you have enabled?

The name of your computer "Alpha (3376)" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "Alpha (6759)". Why do I keep getting this message?

I keep getting this message every time I log in. Why? I have an iMac with sharing on for my networked printer and to share file between the iMac and my MacBook. Can anyone help?

This is an annoying but not disastrous thing. Your computer sends messages on your home network and each message includes its name. If your computer is restarted or if it goes to sleep and wakes up all those messages should now gone but sometimes when the computer reconnects to the network it picks up a message with its name in it. Your computer doesn't realize its an old message from itself, it thinks the message is from a computer with the same name and that's not permitted so your computer's name is automatically changed.
Temporary solution (or not): turn everything off - your computers, printers, internet modem and router; any and all devices that are connected to your network. Then restart them. I hear about this issue all the time and this solution has been temporary for some people (days, weeks, or months) and for others it has seemingly solved it totally.

App Store keeps showing update for program that has been uninstalled

The App Store keeps showing an update available for Virus Barrier Express even after I have removed it completely from my system. Going into the Purchased list shows it is not installed. When the application was installed it always said there was an update. No matter how many times you clicked Update and allowed it to download and install the update, the App Store still showed the update needed to be installed.
On another machine it constantly shows an update for one of the installed applications but clicking the update button doesn't clear the update once it's been downloaded and installed.
Deleting the App Store preference hasn't resolved the issue. Enabling the debug menu and using the Reset Applications option has not either.

I found out what was causing my problem (can't re-install an app that I deleted and which was purchased from the App Store). The app I was trying to re-install under Lion was Apple's Compressor v4 which is only available through the Mac App Store. However, even though I was booting from my one-and-only copy of Lion the Mac App Store was apparently getting confused by an old copy of Compressor v3.5 that was installed on another boot disk that I maintain for Snow Leopard. I'm running on a quad-disk Mac Pro so all four disks mount whenever I start the system. In any case, all I had to do was unmount the other disks and the Mac App Store then allowed me to install Compressor v4 on my Lion system.
The reason I was able to pinpoint this solution is that I wanted to run another Mac App Store app (Find Any File) and even though the Store said it was "Installed" I couldn't find the application in either the Lion Application folder or within LaunchPad. I then realized that the App Store was referencing the copy of that app that was stored on my Snow Leopard disk and unmounting that disk finally allowed me to install both Compressor v4 and Find Any File on my actual/current boot disk (i.e. Lion).
Now, the odd thing about this problem is that Compressor v4 wasn't installed on any of my disks, it was the older version of Compressor (v3.5.3) that apparently was preventing me from installing the new version 4 on my Lion system. In fact, Compressor v3.5.3 crashes immediately under Lion so that version of the app isn't even usable when I'm running Lion.
So, if you're having a problem with installation or app removal or updates from the Mac App Store try dismounting any other disks which you might have attached to your Mac and see it that solves your problem. If it does solve the problem then you can almost be assured that the cause of your difficulty is some file that is present on one of your other disks (i.e. app may not even be on your current boot disk).

I keep getting emails saying my password has been changed , everytime i go reset it with stronger passwords, but it keeps happening, anyone got any ideas?

Hi all, I keep getting emails saying my password has changed, I have now reset my password 4 times in the last 2 weeks with stronger and stronger passwords and have also changed my security questions, anyone got any ideas how to resolve this problem?

No. I am a volunteer, not always on good terms with Apple either. I'm sorry I don't seem to have helped but what I told you is what I would tell anyone in your situation.
I hope Thomas r won't mind me pasting one of his replies, but the thread is so long it could be daunting. Thomas knows about these things.
****** Courtesy to Thomas r.
As has already been pointed out earlier in this topic, the issue is either a repeated phishing attempt (in which someone sends you a faked e-mail, directing you to a faked site, which tries to get you to "log in" so that the hackers can get your ID and password) or someone is repeatedly trying to get access to your account. I'm guessing the latter is more likely... someone's repeatedly trying to reset your password, for who knows what reason, and they're trying repeatedly because they're never getting the password reset e-mail. (Why they would expect to receive that e-mail I don't know... people are stupid.)
Make sure your Apple ID has a good, secure password. (There is no need to reset your own password to do this, just go toappleid.apple.com and change it.) I'd also advise turning on two-factor authentication to further protect your Apple ID:
Apple introduces two-factor authentication
This will prevent password reset attempts, as it will not be possible to even start the password reset process without having access to the device used to receive the code used as the second identification factor.
Hope this helps.
