Unknown Devices appearing in Application Sharing

I have noticed a number of unknown devices are listed in the application sharing section of Hub Manager. Does this pose a security threat and is there any way I can prevent external access of this kind? There doesn't seem to be any way of removing them from the list.
Thanks.

Is does sound like your hubs wireless encryption could of been compromised
Or a family member has given out the wireless key - maybe for a friend to use the broadband connection....
I'd change the wireless encryption key with immediate effect....
(note - The hub will not show what wireless device that is connected to the Fon/Openzone SSID, but some hubs do allow the user to check to see if the Fon/Openzone SSID is being used)

"Unknown Device" appears when ipod is "connected"

So I just bought an ipod yesterday. I took it out of the box and i followed the instructions and hooked it into my usb port on my computer not keyboard. The ipod did not connect and my computer did not even register that anything is hooked in that port. I'm finally able to get it to register about once every 20 times, and when it does it says unknown device and that there are no drivers for it. A message also appears saying a device has malfunctioned and cannot be recognized. The ipod is not charged as it doesnt connect to my pc so i cant even turn it on to follow the 5 r's. What should i do?

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to update automatically. If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage music and videos" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing content manually on iPod
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod

Some unknown pc appeared under my "shared" menu

hi there everyone.. possibly this is a very easy question, and perhaps not as sinister as im imagining?haha..
ive only had this new imac machine for a month or so, and im in love with it of course.. but about a week ago i noticed in my finder- under the "shared" drop menu, a device called "beckys-pute" with a little icon of a pc next to it??
if i click on it , it says connection failed, then i click 'connect as', and it replies"The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
i have never gone over my download limit from my isp ever before, and i have got an email telling me that ive used my limit for the month in only the first two weeks!?--am i assuming too much to think that someone else is somehow wirelessly using my internet? or is this just coincidence?
i have airport and bluetooth all deactivated, and i have been thru sys prefs and changed my security, firewall etc ....
should i be concerned about becky and her computer! is it just my neighbour, can she read my stuff!!haha.. we live very rural here, perhaps its an out of towner renting a holiday home?
anyhow, any help would be so much appreciated, as i am a total kook in all matters computer related!
thanks in advance

i have airport and bluetooth all deactivated, and i have been thru sys prefs and changed my security, firewall etc ....
It's not really the wireless on your computer that matters in this case. It's the wireless for your network that matters. So you have your computer's Airport and bluetooth turned OFF, so you are connected by Ethernet cable. Do you have a router between you and your Internet service? If so, does it do wireless? If so, that's where the trespasser is connected and stealing your bandwidth. You need to make the network secure (use a password) or change the password if it's something easily guessed, or set your router to not use wireless.
If there is no wireless network from a router or your Mac, I don't see how "Becky" is showing up on your network.

Unknown devices appearing in my access list

I have a WPN824 wireless router and in the last two weeks, I've found three devices in the access list that I didn't put there. I first found the three devices last week and deleted them from the list. Tonight, I found them again. All three devices have different MAC address, but use the same device name: "NMADDR." My access list has 12 devices that I added for all the devices I've want to connect
The router is connected to a broadband cable (ComCast) modem.
I manage the router and am the only one with the password. The passsword is a strong 10 character password.
I use Cisco's Network Magic Pro v5.5.9 to manage my home network.
I was wondering if anyone else has run across something like this and can explain how these devices can be "automagically" added to what I thought was a secure router?
Thanks.

May I suggest that this could be either a PDA device, an Apple iTouch or perhaps a WiFi mobile - I had a similiar issue a little time back and this was the ghost in the system.

Equium L10: Windows Vista Beta2 - unknown device

Hi
I have a Toshiba Equium L10 with Windows XP loaded as default but I installed VISTA Beta2 "public release" on it and given that it's only a 1.5GHz Celeron CPU with 512MB RAM, it ran extremely well but, I have one problem which I am hoping that I can get help with from the users in this forum and especially those who have the same/similar Equium model as I have?
Ok, after installing VISTA I checked in Device Manager and noticed "Unknown Device". After checking out the info given in it's properties, I have detailed it below:
Location: Microsoft ACPI Compliant Embedded Controller
Value: ACPI\ACPI 0001 * ACPI0002
When I re-installed XP again, I went to Device Manager/Batteries/Microsoft SMART Battery, the entry for Microsoft SMART Battery Subsystem has "ACPI\ACPI0002\6&28CA2229&0".
Notice the "ACPI0002" info given for the 'unknown device' in VISTA is the same info given for the "Microsoft SMART Battery Subsystem" in Windows XP. So I am left wondering if the unkown device under VISTA is the Microsoft SMART Battery Subsystem and if so, why did VISTA not install the driver for it?
Can anyone help with find a driver for the "unknown device" in VISTA?
Regards
Brave

Hi
The unknown device appears because the driver is missing.
Unfortunately, at this time you will not find any Toshiba supported drivers for the Windows Beta2. This is a beta version and not official on the market.
I think if this OS will be official supported so you will also find the needed drivers.

Satellite U200-124 - Unknown devices with Windows XP SP2

I downloaded Toshiba U200 drivers for Windows XP from this site, install Windows, install all drivers.
Well.
But i have 2 unrecognized devices in device manager.
1. NIC 1394. Device Code V1394\NIC1394\92423A3900
2. PCI Device. Device Code PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_803C&SUSBSYS_00011179&REV_00\4&6B 16D5B&0&5BF0
Modem & FireWire are not working.
What can I do?

As Ivan said the drivers are not installed correctly and therefore the unknown devices appear in the device manager.
The installation instruction shows the right installation order. This order is necessary and important to get all devices working!!!
Please visit the Toshiba European driver page, choose the right series and download and install the right and compatible drivers like mentioned in the txt. file

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

IPod appearing in Device Manager as unknown device

Hi, I'm currently using an iPod Nano 4th Gen. and it is appearing in Device Manager as an unknown device. I found this out after the error message "USB device not recognised" or something, and followed instructions. I'm currently clueless on what to do. My OS is Windows 8. When I go into properties of the unknown device (iPod) the device status is: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). And in details, I get: USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE
If you need any more information to help me, please do not hesitate to request it. I just really would like this issue to be solved. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the update, passionflower
I think next would be a good idea to shutdown the computer, and disconnect everything from it. Let it sit for a minute or two, then plug it all back up and turn the computer on, then try again.
Next I would start troubleshooting the USB ports on the computer. I would start with this troubleshooting.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Double-click the System icon.
Click the Hardware tab.
Click Device Manager.
Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
Click the Power Management tab.
Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
Restart the computer.
From: iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401
And then this troubleshooting
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
From: iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
If you have another computer you can also test the iPod Nano there to help isolate whether the issue is with the iPod or the computer.
And just in case the issue is still not resolved, I want to thank you for using the Apple Support Community. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.
All the very best,

Hello, I have a iPod touch 4g,last time when I paired with my friends iPhone it showed his iPhone's name along with devices connected earlier in the bluetooth list after I updated my software to ios 5.1 the names of friends devices appear as D1:FG:12:13..

Hello,
I have a iPod touch 4g,last time when I paired with my friends iPhone it showed his iPhone's name along with devices connected earlier in the bluetooth list after I updated my software to ios 5.1 the names of friends devices appear as D1:FG:12:13:AK something like that and all the other previously connected devices appear in this same form in the bluetooth list how do I fix this back and it is confusing to connect to a device with no name but some unknown Bluetooth address so how do I find the device name back????
SO PLEAZZZZZ HELP!!!!!

An iPod can only pair with an iPhone for internet sharing provided that the iPhone has the subscribed to the tethering plan. The BT profiles do not permit file tansfer between IDevices by BT. The only BT pairsin is by app and those ar for peer-to-peer gaming.

Satellite Pro L670-18F PSK3FE Webcam stops working become "Unknown Device"

The *webcam* on my *Satellite Pro L670-18F PSK3FE* which is running *Windows 7 64-Bit* worked fine until this week. My notifications bar started to say *"unknown USB device"* and when when I went to use the webcam it was no longer working.
When I turned the webcam off in the BIOS the notification stopped but when I turned it back on the notification kept coming up again. The unknown device is clearly the webcam.
I have updated my BIOS and tried system restore.
I have also downloaded the driver for the webcam from http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK and have been trying to run that - +but it NEVER seems to finish installing!+ I will keep trying to reload the driver and see if that helps but as of now I do not believe that the driver will help.
If this is only a driver problem could someone suggest how I get the driver to actually install :-(
I am now at a loss. I am unsure what to do now. Suggestions?... +please!+

Hi
Unknown device means that the driver is not installed.
I think the webcam driver installation should fix this.
Since the face recognition use the webcam too, I recommend uninstalling this tool as well as the old version of webcam software.
Both (or just face recognition) should appear in control panel -> software
Now download the both applications from the driver page.
Start with webcam driver installation:
1) Unzip the webcam driver package
2) The TC30049700N.exe can be unzipped too (right click -> extract here)
3) Now you should see different files exe, dll, and others try to execute the setup.exe to start the installation. If this does not work, go to device manager, mark the unknown USB device (webcam) and install the driver pointing to the extracted folder containing the webcam driver files. The system should pick up the dll files automatically.
4) Reboot the notebook and follow with face recognition software.
Good luck

Thinkpad Helix - 2 unknown devices in Device Manager

how do we solve this? I bought this expensive laptop but apparently they don't even bother with fixing this bug.
Please assist

Thanks for considering this issue.
I can't say it was there out of the box, but I do know it was still there after some Windows updates and Lenovo updates. However, the inactive devices finally started working after I found in the Lenovo Metro applications that there were drivers updates available. I installed dependencypackage.exe and settingsdependencyp.exe and I think that is what solved the issue. Finding these updates was not straightforward though, as they were not advised in the Lenovo Solution Center, only in some Metro applications.
I am not sure the devices are working properly though, as I can't pair with my smartphone using NFC (though NFC does appear in the wireless settings), the Map application in Metro is not finding my location acurately which makes me think it only uses my internet connection and not the GPS (though the GPS appears in the wireless settings). As for the WWAN, I don't know why, but the Lenovo Mobile Access Metro application stopped working. I only get the splashscreen then it crashes without any error message. I uninstalled/reinstalled but same behavior. WWAN appears with a "Macheen" network in my connection options when I click on the connection icon in the systray, but it won't work: "connection impossible". Don't know if it is because the device is not working properly, or because the Mobile Access applicasion is not working properly.
The two "unknown" devices are still there, still unknown. I don't know what they actually are.

Have a company based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)

i am an IT manager for a bank. we have several company owned iphones. WE have also implemented a mobile device management system to manage our iphones.
We setup acompany based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. This way i can add bank approved apps to the devices through our itunes account and push out to the iphones, and no one can download any other non bank approved apps.
it has been working ok. but recently i had one user who came in. He went to enter in his itunes account on the phone and didn't work. So then came back and my staff and myself have (as much as we can see) removed his email account itunes login from all sections in settings. and entered in our itunes account information, but when you go to the app store, and hit upgrade, it still shows his email account for itunes. I feel like i can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)
How can i troubleshoot his device. i tried changing password 5 times today, rebooted device, and no change.
Jenn McGlynn

i have an MDM application, and i push out the apps i want them to have with our IT apple id account. for some reason when two approved apps needed updating last week, they prompted him for our password. (which i told him to bring phone in and i would enter password).
but somehow he went to try to enter his personal to make it work (don't know why)
somewhere it's keeping his personal email. i went into itunes/apps and our apple id is in there.
there is nothing in icloud b/c we do not allow icloud, so that's clear.

Family purchases not appearing post family sharing

My partner and I have activated family sharing, we're both on each other's devices as family and sharing is activated; however neither of our respective purchases appear in the other's itunes or App Store purchase history. I've reset both devices and deactivated/reactivated sharing across both users but it didn't help. Suggestions?

It's fixed. You should be able to see historical purchases. For me, the issue lies in an issue that I don't believe Apple has ever addressed--my itunes/App Store ID predates my icloud ID and Apple has never come out with a tool or process to roll everything into the icloud id. This fixed the issue for me: while my correct itunes ID appeared within itunes/App Store settings and my music/app purchases appeared, I logged out and logged back in. Afterwards, my partner's purchases now appear in both the itunes and app windows. The dual username for those two services has caused me several headaches over the years and I wish there were some way to consolidate them.
