Why am I seeing other peoples public folders that I don't know under recent files

Under "Recent Items" and "Servers" I am seeing Public Folders of people I do not know. I am not able to access or open their servers. Have they been able to access my computer? My settings are set to "File Sharing Off"

run this script in terminal. It will reset to the default (it funtions like the reset homepage layout funtion in IOS)
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db

  • Why can I see other peoples' WiFi networks but not my own?

    This is a problem that started when an engineer came to replace our TV's set top box as well as our router a few weeks ago. I'll run through everything in quick bullet-point form...
    -My flatmates are able to see and connect to our network with no issues at all on their XP laptops.
    I, on the other hand, can not see or connect to our network at all. However, I am able to see other WiFi networks.
    -Days of rebooting and replugging the router, my iMac and AirPort card prove fruitless.
    -Throughout all this, the router is sat on top of the set top box, which is sat on top of the TV. I move the router down so its sat next to the TV and a plant. I'm able to see and connect to our network with no issues.
    -Three weeks later, the problem has returned. I can't see our network but my flatmates aren't affected.
    -Thinking it may just be poor reception in my room, I set up my Mac in the front room a couple of feet away from the router. I detect other networks, but still not my own.
    -More unplugging and rebooting later, hallelujah, I can see and connect to our network. I take the Mac back to my room and try from there. No luck. The familiar XBoxLive8973498374, BT-HomeHub8934897, TalkTalk439847 (etc) and Sofia networks come up in my networks list as usual but not our own SpeedTouch459873439847 (etc).
    We have a Thomson ST 585 router and I have an iMac G4 with the original AirPort card. Short of buying a new router, does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

    This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is situated a couple of feet from the router in the front room:
    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/2308676274_00f5eba51c.jpg?v=0
    Our network is the one labelled SpeedTouch. As you can see, my AirPort antenna seems to be working perfectly. However, the SpeedTouch connection (and only the Speedtouch connection) would be lost intermittently for several minutes at a time.
    This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is in my room:
    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2308733380_dcdc2faccd.jpg?v=0
    The SpeedTouch signal strength is obviously not as strong but still reasonable. I don't seem to have any issues anymore; I can see, connect and stay connected to our network with no real problem - but I haven't changed any settings on the router.

  • Can no longer see messages in public folders in Outlook (2010) conversation view

    (originally posted this under MS Community outlook discussion and it was suggested I post it here):
    Hello:
    I believe this may be related to a recent update, but previously I could see messages from public folders in my conversation view.  Now, I am only able to see messages in private folders (including sent items).
    I have the cached exchange mode on.
    I loved the conversation view because I could move e-mails out of my inbox to public folders (on our company server) to keep my inbox under required size limits, but still have easy access to e-mails within the conversation string.  That view in my
    opinion was the best upgrade to Outlook when it first came out.  Now it's virtually useless for me again.
    If there's something i can change to get those messages re-appearing again I'd really love to know what I can do, it was really useful for me.
    Thanks in advance to any who reply!

    Hi,
    Based on the descrtiption, I know that there is no emails exist in public folder when using conversation view in Outlook after installing update.
    1. I suggest use OWA to check whether emails exist in public folder when using Conversation View. If it works well, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
    2. Please check the connectivity between Outlook and Public Folder.
    3. I suggest disable conversation view for test to verify whether emails appear in public folder. If the emails appear, it seems an issue on Outlook Conversation View.
    4. I also suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins. Try to re-create profile to refresh the caches.
    Thanks

  • When connecting with FaceTime, I see other people then they hang up.

    When connecting with FaceTime, I see other people then they hang up.  Has anyone one else encountered this?
    Usually, my wife contacts me with facetime, I try to accept connection and she sees other people form another country that quickly hang up.
    This happens often.
    Thanks

    This seems to happen with the Iphone 5s if I am not mistaken

  • Why does LaunchPad show some of my applications to be in folders that just don't exist?

    I had a crap ton of apps in my Applications folder, and I just noticed that in LaunchPad many of those applications are grouped in 'folders' that simply don't exist as subfolders of my Applications folder.  Is there a limit on the number of screens that LaunchPad can have?  if so, this might explain the organizational compression.
    Below is a screenshot of what I'm seeing.  In the top row, there are a bunch of 'Script Debugger 4.5.6' folders that just plain don't exist in my Applications folders.  And yet LaunchPad shows them holding a bunch of apps.  Those apps ought to appear along with all the other non-foldered apps on my system.
    Am I doing something wrong?  This is pretty much a stock system, right now.  It was set up using migration assistant with a 10.6 system.
    Thanks for any advice on 'fixing' (or 'coping with') this that people can shoot my way.

  • Why is Apple the only people on earth that can't send an email to my gmail account? I use my gmail account for everything and people call me with it. Now I can't use it because Apple can't verify it.

    Why is Apple the only people on earth that cannot send an email to my gmail account? I used my gmail account to receive calls on Face Time until the last update and now Apple "cannot verify" the account and they have sent over 100 "verification emails" but I have yet to receive one. Amazing!

    My original Apple ID was my bellsouth address. When I got iCloud, it was merged with the .me address. I can use either to log into the same iCloud, Facetime, iTunes & Apple Store, and Messages. Seems you have 2 separate Apple IDs (one for iCloud and one for iTunes).
    If you log into any app using the Apple ID such as Facetime, only the email addresses associated with it will work. You can log into the Manage Apple ID website and see what addresses are associated with that login.
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    I don't know of any way to merge seperate Apple IDs. You can try changing the one you use for iTunes to the one you use for iCloud and see if it works. If not, you can change the iTunes one to a different email address. Then you can disassociated the gmail address for the iTunes Apple ID and then associated it with the iCloud Apple ID. Once it's disassociated from one account, you will then be able to add it to the other and get the verification email.

  • HT1386 why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

    why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

    Those files should be being created in folders of the form:
    <User's Music>\iTunes\Album Artwork\Cache|Download\<GUID>\<##>\<##>\<##>
    The <GUID> in your case is 0CDB362F24AD473A...
    If they are appearing anywhere else I would suspect a permissions problem. iTunes just spits them out where it can. Similar problems can sometimes cause it to drop files on the desktop.
    Repair Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    Once you've repaired the permissions search for all files of the form *.itc2 in the music folder and delete them, then start iTunes. iTunes will rebuild the artwork cache in the correct location as you scroll through your library.

  • My FaceTime doesn't work... I would call a person, they would accept, and then I would be stuck in a never ending "connecting".. And this problem has been according with not just my ipad, but with other people's iDevices that I know.

    -My wifi connection is running strong
    -All the devices run the same version of iOS

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    My iphone is toast, I know I checked on icloud and see my emails from the day before it happened. Can I see when and what my phone backed up through itunes or icloud?
    Please please help i am lost.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

    You can reduce the size to normal, which is about 1GB, by restoring the phone.
    Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software
    The size of this part can increase when something goes wrong during a sync, or some files can't be read anymore by iTunes.

  • Hi, I've checked how to use kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. For eg, Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara? How to write this?

    Hi, I've checked how to use Kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. I know how to change between the keyboards and can also view keyboard. However, For eg, 'Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara' How to write this? If anybody can answer this, very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    In general, you need to use the "f" (kannada qwerty keyboard) or "d" key (kannada) between letters to make special forms.  Also you may need to adjust the typography settings of the font, which is done by doing Format > Font > Show Fonts > Gear Wheel > Typography as shown below.  If you can provide screenshots or more detailed info on things you cannot make, I can perhaps help.
    It is important to note that MS Word for Mac does not support Indic scripts -- any other app should work OK.

  • Why do I have other people I cloud on a brand new iPad bought direct from Apple

    hi
    i bought my husband a new ipad direct from Apple and when we go to set it up it has 2 other peoples iCloud details on it. We don't know who they are and considering its brand new it doesn't make any sense. Has anyone else had this issue? if so how did you resolve it please. I have tried to get in contact with my supposed contact person at Apple but he has not replied. When I ordered them he told me to contact him for support
    thank you

    as I said something is NOT right
    your iPad is NOT new if it already has an Apple  id attached to it
    try putting the serial # into this genuine Apple Tool
    https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
    and see what it tells you
