Under my wi-fi was "SETUP" under devices...where could it have come from
I am very concerned about how safe the information on my iMac is from somebody trying to get my files. As I turned on my airport I noticed that under "Devices" was the word SETUP. In my home, as I believe, there are no devices w/that name. Any ideas? And is there a way to know what they were capable of doing or seeing?
2 Days earlier as I went to my files, I saw on the side panel "Memory Card" or "Card Reader", I have no such thing. I removed the computer from my home and when put on at a friends home it had dissapeared.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!!
Sounds plausible if your old iphone was not locked and the thief didn't wipe it. Those contacts could have been added and synced while your carrier contract was still active or could still be added and synced via wifi.
The phone may be wiped by now but you really ought to change your password(s) if a thief has/had access to your account(s).
I'd keep a copy of those contacts and contact the police. The police are probably not interested in investigating who stole your phone but, if they did want to follow it up, typical first contacts are girlfriends/boyfriends, friends, parents, and maybe their own home phone number if they have a spouse or live with their girlfriend/boyfriend. Shouldn't be too hard to triangulate to the thief.

Hello,
Names in Members field under the UNIX Attributes Tab have changed from standard format (i.e. John Doe) to the actual account name (jdoe). The only time this happens is if a domain account is deleted and the remnant of the account remains and has to be removed
manually. However all of the accounts, with the exception of any new ones recently added, now show the account name only. Any ideas on what caused this and how to fix it?
Thanks :)Hi,
I have not heard from you for some days, currently I am providing the related article for you. Hope this will help you on this matter.

Using my ipad1 I opened a link sent by a friend wh/ took me to Fox News page. Then got email from him saying his google act was hacked & not to open link. What can I do to protect against anything malicious that might have come from this link
Well, if it was going to do anything to your iPad, its too late now, isn't it?
First off, it did not install anything on the iPad. Can't do that from a web site on an iOS device. The only thing you might consider is to clear your browser cache and data: Open Settings app > Safari:
Clear History
Clear Cookies and Data
And if you are really the paranoid type, Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data. -
When I connect my iPod Classic, it does not appear under devices. I do have it on my iMac desktop, so I think the USB is working properly. The iPod also will connect to my PC with no problem; I synced yesterday evening. I have the latest iTunes on both computers.
Any ideas?See here: iPod does not appear in iTunes or iPod updater in Mac OS X
And here as well if necessary: iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop
Did it ever show up previously? If so, what has changed then? Have you recently installed any third party software/plug-ins/etc.?

Adhoc device listed under "devices"
Hello, I'am wondering about:
in the wifi menu next to the volume button for example is an adhoc device (HPCA70...) listed under "devices"- what could this be?
I already made a new OSX Mountain Lion installation on my MBP Retina, but the adhoc device or what else this is is still listed under devices.
What is that?
Thanks

I have tried both having the printer connect by cable to computer and not connected. It prints fine but I can not find the ink levels since it says it is not connected to computer. Which should I do connect it by cable or not? I am using a pc not a notebook.
Keep pressing the same button over and over and watch the magic.

HT204150 All my contacts have disappeared from icloud and all my devices
I've just tried to use contacts on my iPhone (4S) to discover they have all disappeared. Checking my other devices, I discover they have disappeared from them also.
Is there any chance of getting them back?
I have tried recovering from Time Machine to my Macbook but it won't let me.
Can anyone help, please?
DavidLog out of iCloud and make your Home/Library visible as follows:
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Then go to your Home/Library/Application Support folder and select the AddressBook folder.
Go into Time Machine, go back in time till you're sure you'll have all your contacts and resotre the AddressBook folder.
Open Contacts and see if your contacts are back. If so the the first thing to do is use the File ➙ Export ➙ Contacts Archive... menu option to make a backup of your contacts.
Then log back into iCloud and see if your other devices will repopulate with your contacts.

Please help! I was updating my iPod to 4.2.5 and iTunes said that it was preparing my iPod for update. Then an error popped up and now my computer won't recognize my iPod and it doesn't show up under devices in iTunes. All it has on my iPod is a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. I tried resetting my iPod and it just restarts to the same picture. I tried restarting my computer as well.
What was the error number? That would be very useful since the following gives actions for various errors.

Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes. See:

as i was updating my ipad 2, it told me that it failed to restore, and then it wint come up under devices on itunes, the ipad also wont work, what can i do ?
This was copied from the Apple support site concerning unresponsive iDevices.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode.
More than likely, you will have to restore the device now. You may need to use recovery mode as mentioned in step 3.
Here is the link to the support article.

My Apple TV does not show up under devices, and more.
Okay, firstly, I am relatively new to Apple ptoducts. I was recently purchased an Apple TV and a 27 inch iMac by my lady. And yes, I realize how amazng she is. She bought me these gifts to ensure that the last two and the next 4 months go by smoothly. I was struck by a car while it was doing 65+ mph, than struck again by the same car, than ran over and jumped off of. Yeah.... So needless to say I have severe brain damage, lost memory, a leg that is now 52% titanium and worse, I can not use my right arm.... for now, it may recover with the next two years. so, I tell you this for a little "guilt" but mostly to excuse the formatting of this email. It was typed entirely on my iMac and entirely using one hand, and not my primary hand at that.
I am not new to iTunes, I had a few purchases before this issue. Between those purchases and my Apple TV "FUN" I have amassed quite a few: Seasons of TV and Movies.
1: When I log in to my Apple TV, I can see all of the purchases that I made using both the Apple TV and those that I made previously using iTunes on my Windows based PC. All is well. They are organized by type and sorted perfectly. That plus they stream quicky and completely.
2: When I turn on my iMac and start iTunes, I do not see my TV seasons or Movies under the "Library" section on the left side of my iTunes screen. I see the options, they are simply empty. I see no content listed within them.
3: I can however select the "Purchased" option under the "Store" section on the left hand side of the screen. Once inside that options area, I can click on "Download Previous Purchases" in the lower right hand corner of the screen. From there I can see all of my purchased TV and Movies, including those that I had previously purchased on my old windows PC and those purchased recently on my Apple TV set. That and I can download them and make them available to my iMac version of iTunes.
5: I am unable to see my Apple TV listed under the "Devices" section. I also do not see the "Devices" section at all, however I assume that is because it is currently emty.
QUESTIONS:
A: Can you stream data such as TV seasons or Moies while using iTunes on an iMac. Similar to the way that you stream them from your iTunes purchase histor while viewing them on an Apple TV? Or do I need to download them inorder to view them?
B: Is Apple TV shown under connected devices while it is connected to the Wi-Fi netwok? I can see my Iphone under devices when I connect it with a cable to my iMac. So I know that my devices section is working. I simply fear that my Appl TV is not showing up brcause of existing issues.
NOTES:
A: All of my devices are updated with the latest available drivers.
B: My Apple TV, iMac and iPad all work on the same Wi-Fi network. That and they are all connected to the same iTunes account.
C. My lady is using a different login for the iMac. Her iTunes is setup but is not usng my iTunes account, it is using her account and has access to her DATA. When I log in to the iMac, my iTunes is working and is different from the iTunes that is operating under her username.
Ok Guys..and Gals please help me out. The thing is, none of this is truly effecting me in a substantial manor. I can see my purchase history, I can download parts of it to my iMac via iTunes, and my Apple TV is smoooooooth. I mainly need clarification on the questions that I asked. Can I stream using the iMac, should I see my Apple TV under devices, and why do I not see my DATA under the library section of iTunes?
THANK YOU for you time. Remember, I am relatively new to Apple as a product. And I fricking LOVE it.
When I was in my accident, my arm, my leg, my skull, my brain, my clothing, my key chain and my wallet, were all destroyed. But my iPhone survived. I have records both police and medical to prove this. The one way I had to have any initial memory of my friends and family was in that phone. I still have that phone, I always will. So Apple if you need an awesome commercial for your iPhone, Vince has got your back!!!Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -
I was trying to setup a new ipad. After resetting and erasing the content on the ipad, I would like to restore the ipad from the old backup. Unfortunately the device is not appearing in the list of devices. The sync option under devices is not also active. How else can I restore the ipad?
Sorry, you can't extract those photos from the old device unless you restore the new phone from that backup.
You could of course use a third party software to extract those pics but it will cost you.
If you still have the old phone import those pics to your computer and then sync those photos to your new phone via itunes. -
My time machine will not mount under 'devices'
I restored my mac air because of system corruptions. I went to migrate my former build's user profile to the new system, but when I entered time machine it only showed me backups from the rebuilt system. The only way I restored my files/settings was by navigating to my old backups in the finder (under devices in the finder) and copy/paste/replace into the new user profile.
Now I have 2 problems despite having searched the apple support docs and the forum.
First, I want to manage my old user time machine backups through my time machine app. All I am able to access are the 4 backups made in the new system since the reinstallation. That gives me a gap of several months back to when I purchased my air. How can I access them while in my current user profile?
Second, my time capsule isn't mounting under devices. I've got "show external discs" selected in finder prefs. Obviously, it was showing earlier because that's how I got my files reloaded.
Which of course has me in a catch 22. Even if I knew how to access my missing backups via time machine, I can't access the time capsule to set it up in the first place.....
Advice?First, I want to manage my old user time machine backups through my time machine app.
Manage meaning what.. an old backup cannot really be managed.. it is a backup.. you restore from it.. you don't manage it.
But if you merely mean to open it.. and TM is refusing to allow it to be opened.. well that is part and parcel of the Mavericks TM... !!
Pondini has instructions for opening TM backups from other Macs.. same rules apply here.
See Q14-17 here. 16 and 17 being the key ones.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Once you are out of a TM backup you cannot then use it for continuing backups.. You can try and inherit it but I think you are too late.. that should have been attempted immediately.
See B5 and B6 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Second, my time capsule isn't mounting under devices.
This is typical Mavericks excellent networking.
Time Capsule should appear under shared not devices.. Once you mount the backup it will appear under devices but not until mounted.
1. I strongly recommend full factory reset of the Time Capsule.
No files on the disk will be lost.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
2. Redo the setup with all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
See apple documents which finally have fessed up to some of this.
OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
Although apple says 27 characters max.. please keep it under 10 if you can and 20max. eg TCgenx as base station name.. replace x with actual gen.
TCwifi for wireless name. Do not accept the names the airport utility will give you.
3. Mount the TC manually in Finder. Use Go, Connect to Server.
AFP://TCgenx.local (where you replace with your actual network name.. same as the name if you have followed the rules.. local is TC domain and helps).
When asked for disk password supply that and remember to save it in the keychain.
4. Reset TM see A4 in Pondini troubleshooting.
5. You will need to point TM to the newly named TC.. it will take some time for it to pickup the current TM backup but that should not be a problem once it starts backup.
One thing you should do before starting.. change ipv6 setting on the computer to link-local only.
