Strange names in Share menu

Since I've been using OS X Yosemite (I started with the beta program) that in finder menu always display strange Shared servers.
First I was hopping that this will go away after OS X final release, but it did not. I'm now running OS X 10.10.
Can anyone give me an idea hoe to get ride of this MacBookPro xxxxxxxxxxxxx ( x)?
If I have sharing option OFF, there are always MackBookPro servers on the share finder.
If I activate on system settings the share folder, a new MacBookPro xxxxx is listed on shared servers with a diferente number. And every time I go ON and OFF on the Share option on the System Preferences, a new server appears.

I've got it.
I believe that TimeCapsule has been storing my network servers name for some time. And since I was using Yosemite betas, something went wrong and it stored the servers name.
I've reset TimeCapsule router and the strange names just disappear.

Where is the SHARE Menu located in iPhoto?

Hello. In the Apple procedures for backing up photos, they indicate the following:Copy your photo library to a CD or DVD
1. Select your Library, roll, album, or individual photos you want to burn to a disc.
2. Click the Share menu, and choose Burn.
3. Insert a blank CD or DVD into your drive.
4. Name your disc.
5. Click the Burn button in the Burn Disc window.
Can someone advise me where the SHARE MENU is? I have tried to find it, but no luck. Is it in the Toolbar or is it somewhere on the iPhoto page itself? Thanks.

ws,
Which one would you suggest as a trade-off for economy, ease of use and reliability?>>>
I'll add my vote here for PhotoShop Elements, since I do use it. It's very flexible: easy for beginners, yet powerful for more advanced use. I've had every version from PSE 1 up to 4, and it's been worth every penny each time.
For your second question, I have a different approach. iPhoto and PSE are different types of applications, with different strengths, which work very well in tandem as 2 parts of a workflow. I use iPhoto to organize my photos. The more I play with its features the more I like it. Now that I have added keywords to all my photos, I can use Smart Albums or the keyword tool to pull up any set of photos I could imagine almost instantly. As an image editor, however, iPhoto is quite limited. Fine for a quick crop or red-eye fix, but that's about it.
For image editing I use PSE 4. I set in up in iPhoto's preferences as my external editor. Double-click in iPhoto to open the image in PSE. Edit, click Save, and the edited version is automatically saved back into iPhoto. Simple.
PSE 4 comes with Adobe Bridge, written for PC users who don't have the benefit of iPhoto. I don't know about the version of Bridge that comes with Photoshop CS2, but the version I have is a highly crippled version compared to Bridge on a PC. On a PC you create catalogs, version sets, tags, etc. to organize your photos and be able to search them (like with iPhoto). But the Mac version is lacking all of these features. It is simply a file browser that lets you open files from your own folders and add metadate. You can search by that metadata, I suppose. Anyway, there is no benefit to transferring your files to Bridge whatsoever. It does not store your files for you. You'd lose all the functionalities of iPhoto, and gain only a crippled PC app. BTW, I tried using Bridge when I first got it with PSE 4. It just doesn't work well for photos inside the iPhoto library, because accessing them from Bridge is the same as accessing them through the Finder (a no-no). I am much happier with my iPhoto to PSE workflow. I use only Bridge to browse and access images that I keep outside of iPhoto, like scrapbook projects.
System requirements for PSE 4: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelmac/systemreqs.html indicate OS X (10.3) or higher. PSE 3.0 works with 10.2.8 or 10.3. Version 3 does not come with Bridge; it has a file browser built in, which you can ignore if you are using iPhoto. You can find it for $35 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Elements-3-0-Mac/dp/B0002UDQAO/sr=1-4/qid= 1172615161/ref=sr14/103-9537804-8479040?ie=UTF8&s=software

The selection 'photocast' does not appear on my share menu.

I have a .mac account, but the "photocast" selection does not appear on my iphoto6 share menu.

jntr:
First delete the iPhoto Preference file. If that doesn't help try repairing disk permissions and, if necessary, reinstall iPhoto for the disk it came on, update to 6.0.5 and then repair disk permissions again. If you do try a reinstall of iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Find the name of the Menu of a particular menuItem

Hello every one,
yesterday I post the same question, which is when user click on a particular menuitem,
how can I get the name of the Menu.
The suggestions is to use getParent. However, it is strange to find that when I use:
JMenuItem source = (JMenuItem)(e.getSource());
Container con = source.getParent();
The class for con is "JPopupMenu" rather than Menu. I can not find the name of it as well.
I never use any JPopupMenu in my program. I use JRadioButtonMenuItem for the MenuItem.
Can anyone advice for that?
Thank you very much.

JMenu adds the menuitems to a JPopupMenu. Try
JPopupMenu popupmenu = (JPopupMenu)e.getSource().getParent();
JMenu menu = (JMenu)popupmenu.getInvoker();

Can't email Excel file from Share menu

When I use the Numbers Share menu to email an excel file nothing happens. Looking in the Console app I see this:
3/3/13 8:12:47.446 AM Numbers[187]: Assertion failure: Method: outlineView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:item:
Object: <LSStylesController 0x2cade010>
File: /SourceCache/Numbers/Numbers-554/numbers/LSStylesController.m
Line #: 525
Found a non typical table style, using low DPI image
I can export the file as an Excel file to the desktop and email that but why does the Share menu feature not work?

When you send e-mail via the share menu you have to be very careful with the characters in the file name. The share menu will not work with any "illegal" characters. It's best to stick with only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens & underscores.

I can't send spreadsheets using the Share menu.

When I click on one of the "share via email" formats to send a Numbers spreadsheet all I get is the sound/tone that happens when something isn't working. Mail does not open or anything. I have Mail set up on my Mac so it should work right? I am running OSX 10.8.4.

The most common cause of the share menu not working to send a document via e-mail is having "illegal" characters in the file name, most commonly a /. Stick to letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens & underscores & you shouldn't have a problem.

I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens. I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

How can I remove recent contacts from my Mac's 'Share Menu'?

I have a MacBook Pro and I noticed that when I want to share something it only shows me the recent messages of one person to share with. I don't talk to said person as often as any other so I'd like to know how to remove it from my share menu. Thanks!

No Share menu in Itunes 10.5.3.3

I am trying to update my music library via homeshare however, there is no Share menu after I upgraded to itunes 10.5.3.3. I've tried turning off the homeshare and restarting itunes, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, and i've also tried repairing itunes. I've tried looking for threads on this but haven't found one. I see its also a problem on my daughters ibook. I have a PC running Vista. Is there a fairly simple fix? Or, If it's more complicated, can someone please explain it step by step?

I only have my own MacBook Pro to test on, but this resolved the issue for me.
Creating a new user resolves this issue for that user. For existing users, I did the following. Note that 'staff' is a group to which my work and home accounts both belong.
Log in as root or a different user with sudoer permissions.
Go the the 'Users' directory.
Where 'username' is the home directory of the user for whom the menu bar is no longer working type:
Type 'chown -R username:staff username', without the quotes.
Type 'chmod -R g+r username', again without the quotes.
Log back into the 'username' account and the menu bar should be functional. And probably several other preferences issues which the update borked by getting the file permissions wrong.

Flat file connection: The file name "\server\share\path\file.txt" specified in the connection was not valid

I'm trying to execute a SSIS package via SQL agent with a flat file source - however it fails with Code: 0xC001401E The file name "\server\share\path\file.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
It appears that the problem is with the rights of the user that's running the package (it's a proxy account). If I use a higher-privelege account (domain admin) to run the package it completes successfully. But this is not a long-term solution, and I can't
see a reason why the user doesn't have rights to the file. The effective permissions of the file and parent folder both give the user full control. The user has full control over the share as well. The user can access the file (copy, etc) outside the SSIS
package.
Running the package manually via DTExec gives me the same error - I've tried 32 and 64bit versions with the same result. But running as a domain admin works correctly every time.
I feel like I've been beating my head against a brick wall on this one... Is there some sort of magic permissions, file or otherwise, that are required to use a flat file target in an SSIS package?

Hi Rossco150,
I have tried to reproduce the issue in my test environment (Windows Server 2012 R2 + SQL Server 2008 R2), however, everything goes well with the permission settings as you mentioned. In my test, the permissions of the folders are set as follows:
\\ServerName\Temp --- Read
\\ServerName\Temp\Source --- No access
\\ServerName\Temp\Source\Flat Files --- Full control
I suspect that your permission settings on the folders are not absolutely as you said above. Could you double check the permission settings on each level of the folder hierarchy? In addition, check the “Execute as user” information from job history to make
sure the job was running in the proxy security context indeed. Which version of SSIS are you using? If possible, I suggest that you install the latest Service Pack for you SQL Server or even install the latest CU patch.

Why is the "Send to iDVD" command missing from the share menu in iPhoto 9.4.3 when trying to send a slideshow to iDVD?

How come the "Send to iDVD" command is missing from the share menu? In iPhoto I used to be able to send my slideshows to iDVD simply my clicking on the slideshow, selecting the "Share" menu at the top and going to "Send to iDVD". Now in iPhoto 9.4.3 that option is missing.
Further i am also using iDVD 7.1.2 and running OSX version 10.8.3.
Thanks!

Export the slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window with Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, choose a theme and drag the exported movie file to the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Mail option is missing from share menu

"Mail" is missing from the share menu. When I go to the Extensions preferences in the System Preferences it is checked buy also grayed out. On Apple.Com it clearly shows in the example that Mail is present in the Share dropdown menu. I verified that my Mail account is correct. I have also tried Apple's instructions on this page: If sharing options and Markup are missing after you install OS X Yosemite - Apple Support. Still nothing works. The Apple Help file even says this:
Share Menu
Select the items that you want in the Share menu, and in the Social widget in Today view in Notification Center.
The Share menu is available in several apps, including Safari, Contacts, and the Finder. If an item is selected, but you don’t see it in an app’s Share menu, then you can’t use that item to share in that particular app.
Only items that allow posting or messaging can appear in the Social widget.
So, it would seem from this that Mail is not available in Photos? I find that hard to believe. I would be nice to still be able to email a photo directly from the new Photos App. Any other help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Stan

Having the same issue! Just updated to 10.10.3 and still no mail option in the share menu for Photos app! Share via email works fine in Safari but it is not available in Photos app. Hopefully someone will advise or respond asap otherwise, will wind up following the steps to reverting back to iPhoto!!

File name on the menu page of a DVD project

When I import my video project into iDVD 5.0 the file name ends up on the Menu page. If I try to delete it, it erases the project from the DVD. How do I get rid of the file name on my menu page without deleting the video itself?

Hi Rusty
As I see it. No name = no movie
1. You might replace the name with a space (or ev. alt+space)
2. or You might want a self / auto starting movie then get to the block
diagram view and drop Your movie project into the upper left most box.

How to add Mail to Photos dropdown share menu?

If I want to share a photo by email (while in Photos), Help tells me to click on the Share icon, then select Mail. My problem is that Mail is NOT on the Dropdown menu.How do I put it on the Dropdown menu?
I suspect the problem may relate to the fact that I moved from a Windows PC to my Mac and installed a Thunderbird Email client to avoid learning a new Mail interface first thing. Now the Thunderbird icon show on the Photos "Share" menu (although it is grayed out and cannot be selected), and I have long since abandoned Thunderbird in favor of Mac Mail. So it seems reasonable that I need to remove the grayed out Thunderbird icon, and replace it with the Mac Mail icon on the Photos "Share" dropdown menu.
Any suggestion for implementing that change?

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail
