System preferences remote login address naming HELP PLEASE

Hello,
This problem is driving me crazy... Enabling Remote Login (under Sharing Preferences) gives me a note that "To log in to this computer remotely, type ssh [email protected]". The problem is the part of the address named "wrongname". I have no idea where it is picking this up. I've gone back under the networking preferences and confirmed it's not coming from there. The netbios name by the way is "CARLS-MACBKPRO1". Enabling file sharing gives me the same "wrongname". Any idea where this is coming from and how do I fix it?
Running 10.7.3 on a Macbook Pro.
Thanks in advance.
Carl

The question is how are you trying to connect to the server? and where are you testing from?
You say you can 'log-in to the Mac-Mini from the internal network', but what protocol are you using?
The ports you've opened are for web (80), FTP (21) and SSH (22), so if you're using any other protocol (e.g. AFP for file sharing), it won't work.
So, you need to decide what protocol you want to use and forward the appropriate ports. For example, if you do want to use AFP to transfer files, you'll need to open port 548.
An alternative is to just use port 22 and use SSH tunneling to tunnel other protocols over a secure connection (normal AFP, web, etc. traffic is not secure and tunneling these protocols over an SSH connection provides an enhanced level of security.

I cant access System Preferences»Accounts»Login Items

I cant access System Preferences»Accounts»Login Items can anyone help?
I have two admin accounts on this machine. One local admin account that does not have this problem, and one mobile admin (remote access) user account that I use for all work. I have repaired permissions and disk from startup cd. I have deleted the following files-
com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
com.apple.preferencepanes.searchindexcache
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

What do you mean that you can't access the login items?
1) No tab for login items in Accounts?
- Are you logged in as that user?
2) Tab exists but doesn't switch to it when clicked?
3) Can see login items, but can't do anything with them?

There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote.

Your password was sent to your emergency email address. Perhaps you have an email you never use? I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate. You could even have completely different user and password. Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

My system preferences is not working/ responding. Please help.

System Preferences is inactive. On the dock the Icon has a question mark on it.
I tried other solutions on here, but nothing has work. Please help. Thank you
Mac OS X 10.6.8

I was asking if the problem could be reproduced in another account. If not then we know it's something lock only to your account. But if you don't want to create another account we'll try some alternate scheme...
Is System Preferences.app in your /Applications folder? If it is double click it to see if it launches.
It is possible you deleted it or moved it. That would explain the question mark in the dock since the dock entry doen't find the actual System Preference app in /Applications.
If it isn't in /Applications you need to find it. If it is deleted you need to reinstall it from somewhere (reinstall, or a backup for example).

Lost french language for system preferences and lost finder's help

My first installation of Leopard failed on my Macbook pro (blude screen). Made another installation (keeping old system). It worked. but now I have two problems and do not find solutions.
1- All my system preferences panels are in english even though I choose french as th first language in "international". All was in french in my previous system (10.4)
2- also, each time I want to use finder's help it crashes.
should I reinstall 10.5? Is this a known issue?
otherwise everything runs fine on my Macbook pro

Welcome to the Apple boards.
It's not a known issue, it's probably not an issue per se. A failed install creates many "issues" that have to be addressed before going further.
Your Archive and Install most likely archived a bad install and when the migration occurred, these errors migrated into your new system.
I am not sure how much on your original system you have backed up, but you may be faced with having to do an erase and install in order to get rid of what is most likely a bad archive.
The first failure means that there was something wrong with your original system or hardware. Since it's running, sort of, your hardware is probably OK.
Did you first perform a disk check and permissions verify/repair? That's very important before installing a new OS or upgrading.
The help is crashing most likely because of the language issue.
Before reinstalling from scratch, I would suggest waiting for at least a second opinion on this. There may be some way to resurrect your system without completely trashing it and starting over.
It might be as simply as retrieving the proper language apps etc from the DVD using a tool known as Pacifist, but there I cannot help you.

[SOLVED] Does my system allow remote login through SSH?

I installed openssh some time ago, to be able to connect to my phone's storage (phone is the server). I didn't configure anything, just installed the package and connected to my phone using nautilus. Now I'm wondering, is my computer a ssh server now? Because I don't want remote login to my computer at all. The documentation is a little confusing for me on this one.

No, that is just showing the grep process... I fit was running, you'd get

Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk. Any help ideas ?

Everything works fine but the Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk.
When I am in Win7 I am easily rebooting my iMac by right-clicking on the Bootcamp icon.
When I am in Mac OS I wish to do same but that Bootcamp icon does not appear. Everytime I am restarting my iMac and pressing on the Option key to select the Windows disk.
Does anyone have an idea how to adjust to bring the Bootcamp icon to the Startup Disk panel ?

Use BootChamp instead; perhaps you have an NTFS 3rd party driver installed and has its own control panel.

The rear left plug-in of my gigaworks 7.1 speaker system is dead. Can anyone help please?

The rear left speaker of my gigaworks 7.1 system all of the sudden stop working. I switched the speakers and the cables from the back of the of the subwoofer and all the speakers worked but when i pluged each of the speakers in? The rear left plug-in on the back of the subwoofer none of them worked. That's how i got to the conclusion that the rear left plug-in for some reason is dead. Can anyone help me with this problem?

I have the same problem and I just sent my sub woofer at a cost of an additional $30 shipping and just got it back to find the one I got back if not the same one LEFT REAR SPEAKER DOES NOT WORK. Before it made distorted noises, now it doesn't nothing. This seems to be a repeating partern I'm seeing here and of course no info in FAQ like popping crackling noise in XFI.... Same thing with the speakers. I love the Mods recommendation, its funny when you catch them giving advice for stuff you've tried without luck and you know lightning rarely strikes twice.... Or posts twice. I'll check back if I figure something out, hope if you find a fix you post it please.

Firefox crashes immediately after I try to open it. I have tried uninstalling it and installing it again, restoring my system, and nothing has worked. Help please!

After upgrading to Firefox 4 it initially worked, but I had to restore my system to deal with other issues on my laptop. After I did that, I reinstalled Friefox 4 and it is now crashing as soon as I click on the icon. I tried installing the 3.6 version which did not work. I also looked to open in safe mode, but cannot find anything relating to firefox safe mode on my computer.

please upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

After 10.5.2 install stuck at the login screen. Help please!

Hi all,
After installing 10.5.2 my computer rebooted to the login screen, but no matter what account I select (I have 3) it goes to a blue screen for a few seconds and then right back to the login screen. I've tried booting in safe mode and also resetting the PRAM. I've been reading this forum, but don't seem to see anyone else having this same exact problems.
Any suggestions?

I have had problems after the 10.5.2 update. I ended up with a frozen computer - unable to restart or shut down etc. Also ended up at one stage with Set Up Assistant screen. With the help of a computer savvy friend, at least I am able to use my computer again.
It appears the actual download did happen but it did not install and the computer tells me I need to "re-start". When I did this, window appeared on plain blue screen saying it was installing software but absolutely nothing happened - no blue scrolling bar etc.
My iMac computer is still under Apple Care Plan and technician told me they are many problems surfacing across the various machines with this upgrade. He has asked me to delay updating the software and to ring back in a couple of days because their technicians are currently working on the problem and he hopes for an answer soon.

Finding WEP address - Need Help Please

I purchased a Wi-Fire range expander for my laptop. I plan to use this when we are away from home on vacation because we are located quite a distance from the Internet provider signal. My laptop gets great signals at home on my Linksys WRT54GC. However when I try to connect with the new range expander, it shows excellent strength but it says limited or no connectivity and keeps trying to connect. My internet connection on my pc is "schedular" and my laptop is receiving it with no problem. However when I click on the icon for the Wi-Fire connection which is shown as "connection 3 (schedular)" I get the message as stated above. I wrote to Wi-Fire support and they said that I needed to know my WEP code and to call my ISP (Comcast) to find out the code. Comcast told me to call Linksys. I held on the phone for quite a while and decided to write to the community forum. How do I find the WEP address for the wireless network "schedular" so I can insert it into "connection 3 (schedular)" I hope this question makes sense. I have tried as many things as I can think of!! Help!!!!!

As you are getting message "Limited or no connectivity" ..might be possible that the key is not correct .... so connect the computer directly to the router WRT54GC ... access router setup page .... using http://192.168.1.1 ... leave username blank & in password use admin ... Click wireless tab & then wireless security sub-tab .... it shows all the wireless security informaiton .... Have a note of the key & use the same key to configure the wireless range extender ....& also the wireless adapter ... See if it works ...
