What does the number next to my device indicate?

I was recently on iCloud.com and I always see this number in parentheses next to my device. I was simply wondering what it means.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

It seems to be a networking issue with Yosemite right now, in which the bonjour service will erroneously generate multiple instances of your Mac on your network, possibly arising due to an issue with wake on demand partnering with a Bonjour sleep proxy running on an Airport Base Station or Time Capsule.  If you are connected to your network through an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule, you can fix this, at least temporarily, by launching AirPort Utility from Applications>Utilities, selecting the AirPort, then going to Base Station>Restart.  After it restarts, go to System Preferences>Sharing and change your computer name back to it's original name again.  If you haven't updated yet, try installing the 10.10.1 update too.

    The number tells you how many podcast episodes you have downloaded but not started listening to yet, i.e. how many podcast episodes have blue dots next to them.

  • Java2 Platform - What does the number "2" mean ?

    Hi all, it is likely stupic. I have used java for nearly 2 years but until now, I don't know what does the number 2 accompanied with java mean ? It is a kind of naming, versioning or what ?? We have java2 including j2ee, j2se,j2me. The number 2 appears everywhere which remains a question in my mind.
    Thanks for reading and perhaps, then answering.
    Regards,
    Hung.

    From the release of java language version 1.2 , the specifications for java platform and java api had been standardised. So to landmark the java technology standard, it was named Java2. All the subsequent versions of java are based on the Java2 technology, mostly enhancing the api features and not much in vm level. Like pentium belongs to 486 family, java 1.5 belongs to Java2 family. If u know programming java 1.2, its fair enough to use java 1.5. But that is not true for those only know java 1.0/1.1.
    Now for your vocabulary,
    j2se - standard edition of java following java 1.2 specification
    j2ee - enterprise edition of java following java 1.2 specification
    j2me - micro edition of java following java 1.2 specification
    I hope your curiosity has been served.

  • What does the icon next to the location icon mean? It has a lock with an arrow circling it.

    What does the icon next to the left of thelocation icon mean and to the right of the time? It has a lock with an arrow circling it. Thanks

    It's the portrait orientation lock.  When on, and that icon showing, the screen won't rotate to landscape view when you rotate the phone. 
    To turn it off - double click the home button to show the recently opened apps bar, slide it to the right showing the iPod controls and the Portrait Orientation Lock on the left.

  • What does the number in parentheses after CPU speed mean?

    On original iMacs the CPU is given as PowerPC 750 400MHz (2.2) What does the 2.2 refer to? What would the latest version of the PowerPC 750 be marked?

    It's probably the release version number of the PowerPC 750.
    The G3's are more commonly referred to by the suffix after "750." I believe the last Mac with a G3 was the 900 MHz iBook, and they used the 750FX.
    PowerLogix makes some G3 upgrade products that use the later 750GX, up to 1.1 GHz. Unfortunately, none are for the the CRT iMacs.
    Some more info about the "G3."

  • What does the number after my wireless client name mean

    I have an airport express and have set up my network properly.  Just recently I have noticed that there is a number (sometimes in parentheses, sometimes not) after the wireless client name when I look at my network with my airport utility.  What does this number stand for and why does it keep changing?

    This is a known bug in Yosemite.
    On your Yosemite Macs.......
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Sharing
    Edit the name of the Mac to what you want
    Things may be OK for a day or two, but the (2), (3), (4), etc will come back to visit until we get a fix from Apple
    I don't have an AppleTV here to check, but you can probably change the name in the settings for the AppleTV.

  • The number next to a device name in profile manager

    Hi all,
    We are still using Lion Server and yesterday I was pushing some new settings to our managed devices and I noticed some of the devices have a number next to the device name like this......
    What does it mean?

    The only way I have found to change the device name in Profile Manager is to change it on the device itself, then wait for the updated info to reach PM.
    The option to "set the computer name to computer record name" will set the computer name to the name of a computer record that matches in Open Directory (based on MAC). This option would allow you to change the device name in Profile Manager in a round about way... change the computer record name in OD, wait for the change to make it's way to the computer, then back up to the Profile Manager. In my experience, this doesn't take too long.

  • What does the number in parenthesis on a Tab represent?

    Using Firefox 24.0 on a desktop and laptop, when I open Facebook the Tab title shows the Facebook icon, the number seven in parenthesis (7), and the word Facebook. What does it mean?

    Sounds like something added by an extension.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • What does the "+" symbol next to the price in shopping cart mean?

    I have several songs in my shopping cart with a "+" next to the 99cent price. What does it mean? Thanks.

    To state specifically, those are iTunes Plus files, Yes, they are DRM free, with better audio quality being AAC @256. If you will take a look at the right side of the main store window, there should be a link for iTunes Plus where you should be able to get more information.

  • What does the symbol next the printer name mean?

    this symbol comes up when I put my printer on Wireless it is a wireless printer. how do i set it up so i can use it wirelessly does that symbol mean something?

    See if this works - make sure MAC Address Filtering isn't enabled on the router that can prevent devices joining a network.
    I'm assuming the printer has a control panel and neither the router or the printer support WPS Pairing (if they do, post back 'cos that can make it very easy). You'll need to know the wifi encryption method your router is set to and your wifi password.
    This may not be the exact sequence as the menus on printers vary from make to make but the process seems to be similar across brands.
    Press the 'menu' button on the printer and select 'network', select 'wlan' and it should offer a setup wizard' or similar. From there is should display your network, select it, encryption type, select it. You'll then need to input your password, normally by using the up/down and left/right arrows. OK it when done and voila (hopefully) you'll be connected. Then on the Mac in System Preferences>Print & Scan you should be able to add the printer.
    Sometimes, but not always, I've found that I've had to connect the printer via usb cable during the process of setting up. Then once connect via wifi unplugged it.
