Why do I have 2 devices?

Hello all. Can someone tell me why I have 2 device of the same name when I try to save something on my Macbook?
Please see picture:

I believe one image represents File Sharing being enabled and the other represents screen-sharing being enabled. I'll see if I can find an official documentation for you.
Are those options enabled on the machine in question? You can check this buy opening *System Preferences* and clicking on Sharing.

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

HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems. I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback. I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod. I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs. I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again. Do you know how to back up music to my computer? I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

I cant even get into itunes because it wont recognize it to do a reboot or a rollback.

WHY, when I have nothing plugged in does Windows flag up a USB device that is does not recognise?

WHY, when I have nothing plugged in does Windows flag up a USB device that is does not recognise? When I check it a box comes up which offers a diagram that does not tell me which port it is? How do I check which port/outlet it actually is? Could
there be software (rather than a USB port) in my system that Microsoft doesn't recognise? The Windows defender scan shows nothing and the Windows reporter said twice now there are 10 problems but they can't report back right now. Should
I be worried? What should I do? Everything I want to do within the operating system seems to be working and my speed hasn't noticeably changed. Can anyone help?
PS What is code 43? Also it says Broadcom 270 Bluetooth is disabled, what does that do? Should I enable it, won't it allow Bluetooth access, which I don't need? The scanning of hardware seems to say Hardware changes may not have been detected
as well as Unknown Device is not working properly.

Some phones can only send and recieve SMS messages. If the recipients phone doesn't support MMS they won't be able to recieve a text with a photo.
To get your photos in Photo Stream, you'll need to setup iCloud. Check out this Apple article for more info -> iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

Why do i have 2 video devices

iam wondering why do i have /dev/video and /dev/video0 i just have one inbuilt cam in my dell XPS m1530?

Maybe one is a link to the other. Have you looked at the output of 'ls -l'?

How can I keep every single photo from saving to "collections""my photo stream""camera role" and just use one folder? And why do I have to delete the same pictures 4 times? In "collections""myphotostream"camera role""deleted photos" I need ONE FOLDER

im sick of deleting the same picture 4 separate times, I want to limit everything to one folder and only have to delete one time, how? Why does this have to be so complicated

Photos you take on your camera are in the Camera Roll and are like the film in a camera.
Photo Stream is an independent stream of photos from all devices that are logged onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on. Photo Stream photos are kept in the cloud for 30 days or up to 1000 photos, whichever comes first, so unless you have a particular photo you just don't want to stay out there for 30 days, you don't really need to delete Photo Stream Photos. They are temporary. Your device will continue to keep your Photo Stream photos from prior to the 30 day limit, but if you switch Photo Stream off in iCloud and then right back on, the only photos that will re-display in Photo Stream on that device are the ones that remain within the 30 Day/1000 photo parameter.
Collections is simply a single place which shows all of the photos that you have on your device. You do not need to delete photos from Collections. It is just a single place where you can see the contents of all of your albums.
Photos in albums that you have created on the device itself are tied to the photos in your Camera Roll, so if you delete them from the Camera Roll, it will tell you that it will also be deleted from an album.
Albums that you have sync'd from your computer should be removed the same way you got them there - by hooking the device up to a the computer you did the sync with, and un-selecting the album from the Photo profile screen.
So, really, there are only two places that you need to delete photos - Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
Cheers,
GB

Why do i have to wait 90 days to download music I bought with another apple ID?

My iphone 5 is now linked to a 'business' Apple ID. I would like to change that to a personal apple Id that i used to purchase many songs. I did change the apple ID but when I turned on 'automatic downloads' for music, a message appeared saying: 'This device is already associated with an apple ID. If you turn on auto-downloads, you cannot download past purchases with a different apple ID for 90 days'.
Why do i have to wait 90 days to use music i bought with another apple ID? Is there another way to do this so that I don't have to wait 90 days?
Thanks

No. There is no getting around this limitation.

HT1918 why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?

why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?( My current account won't let me change my address to canada so my billing address for account is incorrect, making it impossible for me to buy anything). Will it affect what I am able to put on my device i.e. already downloaded apps, music, etc?

... how do I move over my purchases from my current account to my new account?
This is not possible...
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

Why is my MacBook device title in Finder changing/increasing in number (2), (3) etc?

Since upgrading to Yosemite(please forgive me if I use incorrect terminology here) I have noticed the device title for my MacBook keeps changing. Normally is is "N**** Ca********'s MacBook Pro", but keeps changing to "N**** Ca********'s MacBook Pro (2)" and "N**** Ca********'s MacBook Pro (3)". The screen also expands to full screen sometimes and appears to move to desktops to the right of the original screen. When I close a screen it appears to slide away and back to the normal desktop. I ahve also noticed on my iphone that iTunes wifi Sync is showing Apps syncing from "N**** Ca********'s MacBook Pro (2)" and Books/Music syncing from "N**** Ca********'s MacBook Pro (3)". Can anyone advice how I get back to "N**** Ca********'s MacBook Pro" only, as I don;t know why (2) & (3) have appeared!

I have exactly the same problem. I had before before Mavericks, then without logging out the iCloud, I made a clean installation of Yosemite by wiping out the disk.The host name ends up with the ugly numbering.
I found the following workaround. In "System Preference" -> "Sharing", remove the ugly numbering in Computer Name.
This will change the appearance inside Finder sidebar, Find My iPhone etc.
But this only lasts for a few sessions. It will be changed eventually to the numbering suffix, for unknown reasons.

Why do I have to click on all of my flash components before I can navigate?

Without modification to the code...the component is there but
it needs to be clicked on before I can navigate the site. Should
Dreaweaver not know how to properly insert the code necessary allow
the flash component to view properly? What am I missing? I know
this is a Deramweaver forum....but the problem does not not seem to
be with Flash, it seems to be in the code that Dreamweaver creates
when the Flash component is inserted.
I have been able to find a work around to my problem but
surely it is not what everyone out there is doing. If
so...Dreamweaver or Flash has a serious bug!
I created a site a while back and everthing worked fine. So I
copied some code from that site to fix the new one. However even
after copying the code I still have to modify it to make it
work..(the modifcations are obvious.) This is suely not the way it
is done all the time.
I have three questions:
1. Why did everything work fine with the first site with no
modifications?
2. Why do I have to copy the code to the other site after
inserting the Flash component?
3. Why does dreamweaver not do it for me? (it did everything
right the other time, but now it doen't even work in the previous
site)
I feel like I must have changed a setting somewwhere that I
did not realize would effect this...Perhaps it is a Dreamwweaver
thing.
PLEASE HELP!

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
several
years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
(Flash, Quicktime
etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2/CS3, the fix is already

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...

Why do I have to guess how much data I might use in a month when I select a plan?

When I sign up for water service, I don't guess that I might use 1,000 gallons a month, and then pay three times the going rate for water if I take a few extra showers. I get charged for how much water I use that month.
When I sign up for electricity service, I don't guess that I might use some set number of kilowatt hours, and then pay three times the going rate if we have a heat wave and I run my air conditioner for a few extra hours.
Why do I have to guess how much data I might use, and then spend three times the going rate if I stay up watching youtube videos for a few extra nights?
It is stressful to have to constantly monitor usage, and figure out ratios of how much I've used compared to how much time is left in the billing cycle to see if I need to curb my usage. It is not a good customer experience. I would prefer that data be charged a flat rate based on actual usage, perhaps with an option to throttle speeds at certain levels to prevent cases where a minor lapse in judgment could ruin my monthly budget, like forgetting to check data usage religiously on a device meant to simplify my life.
Thank you for your consideration.

Simple answer is Verizon is offering a block of data for usage.
Where I live the water bill states my wife and I are being charged for 30,000 gallons per quarter/half and the price is say $60 however we never use any where near that amount. I send the meter reading in and it shows the amount we use. But the hamlet we are in has a set amount of gallons. Not fair but we live with it.
For your data outside of the unlimited which is not available any more to new customers you may be a light user and never go over the 2GB for $30 dollars a month. If you do you will pay through the nose for data. If you pay for more data say 4GB and I don't have the price for it so lets say its $70 then you don't have to watch as much for overage fees. But you are paying for the data in advance so as not go over and get hit with whopping fees.
It is just the way it is.

Why do I have to pay to get help for Itunes?

First off, why do I have to pay to get help?
That is absolutely ridiculous when it is someone's JOB to be a "support" for this.
I've had a reoccuring problem of my music not playing on my IPhone. I fixed it the first time by taking off all the music then re-syncing it and it was all good. This time I am trying to take all of the music off so I can try to do the same thing as before because this is happening yet AGAIN and now my ITunes isn't taking the music off and it is re-syncing it back and it isn't taking the music off in the first place. Why is it doing this? Well I'm basically venting to a community while getting no help from experts. Thank you for nothing Apple.

Apple provides telephone support for their hardware products at no charge for 90 days after purchase. If you are beyond that period and do not have AppleCare on your device, then you will be charged for the support call. If you don't want to pay, you can either make an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one in your area, where you will be helped at no charge, or you can post details of the problem here where perhaps we, your fellow users, can assist.
I'm basically venting to a community while getting no help from experts.
You're getting no help because you're just venting, and most people here just ignore rants. You haven't posted sufficient details about your issue for anyone to offer much in the way of assistance.
Posting the same complaint twice does little good, by the way.
Regards.

Why I dont have facetime to my ipad mini

Why I dont have facetime to my ipad mini

Facetime is banned in certain middle eastern countries. Devices purchased in those countries cannot have Facetime installed on them by Government Regulation.
While the device may have been purchased in Kuwait its possible it was destined for sale in another country where facetime is banned.
