Two computers with same name

I have a desktop and a laptop with the same name. When I want to synchronize my treo I can not figure out which is which. Is there a way to change the name of a computer?

Inside System Preferences click Sharing. At the top of the Sharing window is Computer Name. Click Edit and type the new computer name.

Two methods with same name but different return type?

Can I have two methods with same name but different return type in Java? I used to do this in C++ (method overloading or function overloading)
Here is my code:
import java.io.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String ar[]){
try{
//I give an invalid file name to throw IO error.
File file = new File("c:/invalid file name becasue of spaces");
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file ,true);
writer.write("Test");
writer.close();
} catch (IOException IOe){
     System.out.println("Failure");
//call first method - displays stack trace on screen
     showerr(NPe);
//call second method - returns stack trace as string
        String msg = showerr(NPe);
        System.out.println(msg);
} // end of main
public static void showerr(Exception e){
     StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
     PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
     e.printStackTrace(pw);
     try{
     pw.close();
     sw.close();
     catch (IOException IOe){
     IOe.printStackTrace();
     String stackTrace = sw.toString();
     System.out.println("Null Ptr\n" + stackTrace );
}//end of first showerr
public static String showerr(Exception e){
     StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
     PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
     e.printStackTrace(pw);
     try{
     pw.close();
     sw.close();
     catch (IOException IOe){
     IOe.printStackTrace();
     return sw.toString();
}//end of second showerr
} // end of class

Overloading is when you have multiple methods that have the same name and the same return type but take different parameters. See example
public class Overloader {
     public String buildError(Exception e){
          java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
          java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer() ;
          buffer.append(format.format(now))
               .append( " : " )
               .append( e.getClass().getName() )
               .append( " : " )
               .append( e.getMessage() ) ;
          return buffer.toString() ;
     public String buildError(String msg){
          java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
          java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer() ;
          buffer.append(format.format(now))
               .append( " : " )
               .append( msg ) ;
          return buffer.toString() ;
     public String buildErrors(int errCount){
          java.util.Date now = new java.util.Date() ;
          java.text.DateFormat format = java.text.DateFormat.getInstance() ;
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer() ;
          buffer.append(format.format(now))
               .append( " : " )
               .append( "There have been " )
               .append( errCount )
               .append( " errors encountered.") ;
          return buffer.toString() ;
}Make sense ???

How to separate two contact with same name

Hi, anyone knows how to separate two contacts with same name in Contacts? Actually they are two persons from two gmail contacts with same name but different contact numbers, different emails....etc, but Contacts assume they are same person and merge them as one!

FG,
In Lion, you have the File > Duplicate option. You will then have two copies of your document open, and the one on top will have the temporary filename "OriginalFileName copy", and your next responsibility is to File > Save (or Command-S) and rename the duplicate. At this point, you edit the copy's name, to perhaps ...copy 1, or whatever you wish. The document you had open when you initiated the File > Duplicate will still be there on your screen, waiting for you to Close it or continue editing.

Unable to protect 2 computers with same name, but different Domains

DPM 2012 R2 and UR2
All DC:s and servers are 2012 R2 + Latest patches.
ad.A.com has full 2 Way trust with ad.B.com. (Different forrest)
DPM Server is DPM.ad.A.com
Computer EXCH.ad.A.com is protected without problem
Computer SQL.ad.B.com is protected without problem
When I try to attach agent from EXCH.ad.B.com I'll get problems.
Error 346: DPM is unable to retrieve the configuration information from EXCH.ad.B.com
I'll guess this has to do with same name of computer, although in different domains. Is this as Designed, or is it a defect?
/Peter

please try a different User to attach/install the DPM Agent.
if this is not the solution, you maybe have a Problem with wmi, try and test with wbemtest

Source XML Structure-Two Nodes with same names

I have a strange situation. I am doing a Webservice to RFC scenario. The Third party vendor provided me with the Source XML fro me to create the datatype.

As We see Above, There are 2 Nodes named "Packet" at the Same level.
So When I try to create my datatype in XI based on this XML, XI wont allow to create 2 nodes with same names at the same level.
We asked the vendor to change the name of the second Packet to Packet_1, they told they cant change it.
Is there a way in XI to handle this issue??. ie to create 2 nodes with the same name at the same level??
Thanks,
Harsh

Hi,
Thats's funy, web service is exposed by PI... but it's the thirdparty (client of our web service server) who imposes their choice for structure !! Inversed world.
Either in Data Type, you define the "Packet" node with an occurence 0..N (or at least 0..2). That will allow you to have the 2 desired nodes by your third-party !
Or... as your third-party does not want to chance something in their side, that means they probably already have such a web service and so a WSDL file or an XSD of this structure... So ask to them to provide you this WSDL, and you, you will use it as an External Def.

Syncing two computers with same short name

Hi folks, esp. Dancing Brook ,
So, I have a computer at work, a laptop at home, and a Palm PDA. Since both computers are mine, they have the same short name. I only make iCal entries on my work computer (plus anything that I enter in my PDA, of course), but like to have the latest iCal data on my laptop too. Here's my question:
I only have iCal on my laptop for the convenience and as an extra backup. Since, however, it shares the same short name as my work computer, do I have to worry about sync issues? E.g., if my laptop iCal has old data, could it overwrite the new data if I sync it after I sync my work computer?
I've read that changing the short name of your computer isn't a great idea, FWIW.
Thanks,
PL

Don't know. Wouldn't think it would be a problem as it is too likely to happen (ie same name on both computers). But you could setup a new account with a new name on the laptop if you don't want to experiment. I would just backup and experiment, or set up two new users, one on each computer along with a trial .Mac account.

Can two iPhones with same name sync with iTunes?

I've just got a new iPhone 4 and immediately synced it with iTunes, transferring all the data from my old 3Gs including the phone name. This means that I now have two iPhones with the same name(3Gs and 4). What are my chances of keeping my 3Gs as a back-up phone that's still able to sync with my iPhone account or will I have to change to phone's name and install apps from scratch? I'd really appreciate any advice from the experts on this.

You need to rename one of them. I would suggest that you backup and sync each device after the renaming.

Two albums with same name combined into one

I have two greatest hits albums by different artists. Both albums are called 'greatest hits'. In iTunes on my Mac they appear as two different albums. I've just synched my music from my Mac to my iPhone (iOS8 I think). The albums have been merged into one greatest hits album (artists X songs have been added to artists Y a. How do I stop this?
On my Mac I've renamed one album 'hits' and then resynched. There are now two albums: Hits by artist Y and Greatest Hits by artist Y (with no album artwork and the songs are actually by artist X).
Thanks for any helps

iTunes identifies an album by its name. If there is more than one album with the same name then iTunes will see it as one album. As you have found you have to give them different names.

One Artists, Two Albums With Same Name Displaying Together

I have my itunes setup to show artists in grid view. When I double click on a particular artist and look at the albums, I see two separate albums grouped into one. This artist has two albums named the same; one from 1980 and one from 2003. They are distinctly different albums with the same name. The only way I can separate them is to tack on [2003] to the album title of the newer one. Is there a way to have them with just the name but separated?

SCCM 2012 -two machines with same name

Hi,
In SCCM 2012, when I do a search for a computer, the results bring up two machines with the same name and mac address.
Why is the machines in SCCM 2012 twice?
How do I resolve it?
Thanks,
hm087ster

You should have one machine mark as obsolete.
A record that is marked obsolete typically was superseded by a newer record for the same client. The newer record becomes the client's
current record, and the older record becomes obsolete.

Two Albums with Same Name

What is the best way to differentiate between two albums that have the same name? When I sort my Library by Album, the songs from albums with the same name are mixed together. I tried setting a "Grouping" but that doesn't seem to help.

although not a perfect solution, you could use the disk number field. Highlight your album, right-click, choose "Get Info". Put each album as a different disk number and you'll be sorted.
Normally this is for double albums where you'd have "1 of 2" and "2 of 2". However you can put in much larger numbers. I've been to 21, but I'd assume it goes much higher.

Two methods with same name?

hello,
When a class has two or more methods with the same name but each method
accepts unique parameters ..... what is this called? Overloading?
Thanks,
jd
public class Test{
     public Test(){
          String bubby = sayHI("Jason");
          System.out.println(bubby);
     public String sayHI(){
          return "hi";
     public String sayHI(String name){
          return "hi " + name;
     public static void main(String[] args){
          getPrefs gp = new getPrefs();

is this also called overloading when your doing it with the constructor?Yes, unequivocally.
8.4.7 Overloading
If two methods of a class (whether both declared in the same class, or both inherited by a class, or one declared and one inherited) have the same name but different signatures, then the method name is said to be overloaded. This fact causes no difficulty and never of itself results in a compile-time error. There is no required relationship between the return types or between the throws clauses of two methods with the same name but different signatures.
8.8.6 Constructor Overloading
Overloading of constructors is identical in behavior to overloading of methods. The overloading is resolved at compile time by each class instance creation expression (�15.9).
