Why did a desktop folder change names after restart?

I have a MacBook Air, 2011. I just restarted it, and one of my two folders I have on my desktop now has a different name. I did not change it and I live alone. What is going on?

Also, this is showing I have Mavericks, but I updated to Yosemite, so I don't know why it is showing OS X Mavericks (10.9.5).

Desktop Icons Change Positions After Restart

Hi,
After I inadvertently synced my computer with another Mac computer my icons change position after restart. I was trying to sync another computer to mine.
I have tried the usual suggestions of taking out com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist and letting the system create these new files but the problem still persists. I also checked the Finder > View > Show View Options and arrange by none is still selected.
Does anyone have a suggestion how I can fix this problem? Will I have to go back in time with Time Machine and restore my entire system to solve this?
I can't operate with the desktop icons changing positions like this.
Thanks,

Delete the hidden .DS_Store file associated with your Desktop folder. Launch the Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste the following command into the window that pops up, hit the return key, quit the Terminal.app, OPTION-click and hold the Dock's Finder icon, and select Relaunch:
*rm ~/Desktop/".DS_Store"*
Now, set the Desktop as desired, log out and back in, and the Desktop should be as it was as you last set it.

Why did my base station change names?

For the last 3 years my network had two names. NicTonTimCap and NicTon guest. I wake up this morning to see flashing Amber light and can only find Harry's WiFi Network. The same password worked but why did this happen?
Thanks,
Harry

When you open the airport utility go to the wireless tab.. has the name actually changed for wireless..
If so this might all be part of the way Apple is trying to help you automate file transfers by a strange peer to peer process.. although how it can self setup the airport is a mystery..
I would put it down to a fresh bug in Yosemite.. reset the network names to what YOU want.. if it happens again and you have applecare then ring apple to see if they have some new functionality in Yosemite that automatically changes names of the wireless network.
I presume your computer name is Harry (or some part thereof).

Why did all my iPad content disappear after restart

Had downloaded a rental movie from iTunes but when I tried to watch I received an error message saying "...not supported content". After a few more unsuccessful attempts I turned off my iPad (holding home and off button until slide appears). Waited one minute, turned it back on and found that all my video, pictures, iBooks, etc were missing. Also, while all of my apps icons appear on the screen, none of them work (of you touch, the app starts for a fraction of a second then back to iPad home screen). What DOES still work is: mail, calendar, contacts, settings and safari. I can connect to a WiFi network no problem. Does anyone have an answer or solution and has this happened to anyone else?

The whole experience seems sort of bizarre in that if you downloaded a movie from ITunes why would you get a message stating the content is not supported on the iPad? It doesn't make any sense to me. Sorry the reset doesn't work for you in this case.
I trust you have a recent backup from which you can restore. Unless someone else post with a solution, I imagine that restoring from a backup is the next viable option for you.

How do you add musci to the Iphone? I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5. Now the format in Itunes is changed. when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device. Why did they have to change this? Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look.

Why are my desktop folder icons missing?

why are my desktop folder icons missing?

Yes I have tried a restart, a shut down and restart, a coling off period for 5 minutes anda restart, an examination of view options and I still get nothing, no destop folders icons, just the title of the folder. The folders without icons will open and their contents are displayed, just not the icons. The only icons I see are the hard drives, I have 4 in my old mac pro. So what gives?

Application folder Changed name for no apparent reason.... Help Pls

Hello there
I just install Leopard (and updated to 10.5.5) on my macbook pro. Checked few things in the Application folder, then few minutes later I went back to it, to realized that it had changed name to ( 0..) I've no idea why???? And another empty Application folder was created in the same path MAC HD/ Library
1) Any idea why this happened.
2) I wonder if there are any implications if I drag and drop all the app folders that reside in the now 0.. folder on to the new applications support folder.
Thanks for Your help.

I have no idea why this happened, but as to renaming I would drag the new empty Applications folder to the trash and rename the original currently 0 back to Applications.
Then check that this correctly renamed Applications folder has permissions set to:
System: read and write
admin: read and write
everyone: read only
Then in Disk Utility (Applications /Utilities) do Repair Permissions.
See how that goes.

Why did the Share dialogue change from display in a frame to not displayed in a frame

Hello,
SharePoint 2013 via TFS install package which installed SharePoint Central Administration v4 and a default SharePoint team site. This is my system:
When I initially started working with my default SharePoint Team Site (SharePoint - 80) and clicked on SHARE, I was able to see the Share dialogue in a
popup frame. I added a single user to the site. I also stopped the site in order to start the Default Web site; I had to do that because I guess both sites are default installed
with the same port number. Then I stopped the Default Web site and restarted the default SharePoint Team Site. I have no idea if these steps are related, I just thought I should mention them.
I later noticed that the Share dialogue no longer appears in a pop-up. Instead I get the following:
Why did this change? Can I change it back? (It's not important to me to change back, I just want to know if I can). If not, why not?
I also notice that this dialogue in a new window behaves oddly. After I add a group or user and click Share, the new window returns to a blank page. I have to close that page and reopen the Share dialogue to add another entity. Is this
normal?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Alan

Not something i have observed.
if you can recreate the issue. check what you see in event log and ULS logs.

Why did my Linksys router change the password?????????????

I've got a WRT610N router. Earlier today I had to shut the power down on everything. When I brought it back up, it looks as though it changed the SSID that it broadcasts for both the 2.6 and the 5 GHz band.
Why did it do that???????
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you press the "WiFI" button on your Router, it will create a new Wireless Network Name and change the Security Key also. Good to know that problem is been solved. Enjoy

Why did iso7.1.1 change the ability to see your apps when you use four fingers to partly close the app your in. In 7.1 you could use four fingers to partly close a app and see all the apps on that home screen. I used this all the time to check the date

Why did ISO 7.1.1 change the feature where you could use four fingers to close an app and see if he other apps on your home screen as you were closing an app. This was the handiest feature I thought because I could partially close the app I was working in and see the date or other things on my home screen and then released the four finger position and be right back to the app I'm working in. Please change this in the next update back to the way it was!!!!!

I get the multitasking list (all prior apps, scrollable) and can switch to an app, swipe up to force it closed instead of "at rest" and can click back to the originating app in the same place i was prior to the swipe,

Why did my object referance change?

Hello,
I dont know why, but my object referance changed from: form1.JustAfield to xfa.resolveNode("template[0].form1[0].JustAfield[0]")
In the hierarchy window I cant find this "template" object and all my scripts stopped working because of this reference issue.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Hopefully you've figured out a workaround by now, but if not, did you try going into the XML and manually changing that reference back to form1.JustAfield?
