Why does my leopard server sometime come up as a networked PC?

I have an iMac G5 with a fresh install of leopard... everything is working great... but sometimes and I cannot see any rhyme or reason to it, but it will come up in my shared list (bonjour shared) as a little PC monitor icon as opposed to it's iMac icon... seems like something is happening here that I just don't understand....
when it does come up as that I cannot login and connect to it for file sharing... anything I should check out?

If you're trying to change the "From" name, to change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the top right and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

The utility has had less and less useful information .. it might be time to simply find a different utility.

This is very popular.. I do not know of what works well on Mac OS because i have installed 5.6 utility which of course has far more info than the later toy version. Plus using an Asus router which has excellent listing of all the clients.
Sometimes beating yourself up to make apple routers do what you want is easier solved with lateral thinking.

Why does the "Computer Name" sometimes change?

                Not a big deal, just curious, why does the "computer name" sometimes change?
                 The name will be the same, but it will add a number....2,3,4...I always change it back so it doesn't have a numeric value next to it, but just wondering why it happens.
                                        Thanks.

Can also occur after your computer is put to sleep and then wakes back up or after your computer is force quit and immediately restarted. Sometimes the router 'believes' the computer is still connected when it actually isn't. When that computer re-establishes a connection the router 'tells' the computer that a computer with that name already exists so it has to change its name. By default a computer running MacOS adds a number (or increments its number) when this happens.

Why does my Ipod Nano sometimes lose volumn

Why does my Ipod Nano sometimes lose volumn?

If the Nano is not in a protective case while you are working out, there may be a good chance that sweat/moisture has found its way into the inside of the iPod causing its buttons and functions to short circuit. Several users who used their Nano for workouts have run into the same exact issue.
Some have been able to correct it by giving the iPod a few days to dry out and then clipping the Nano to another location on their body and/or using a protective case with the Nano.

Does Snow Leopard Server come with a website design software

I'm running Snow Leopard Server on my Mac Mini-We've decided to take our website in house, and have set it up on the server. The site was created by someone for us and is in HTML files. Is there software that came already on our server that will permit us to edit the files, or do we have to buy additional software? I don't see iWeb on our server. Thanks.

iWeb works, but many sites will find it limiting (eg: no imports) or will outgrow it.
The typical evolution is from static HTML web pages and CSS and such along to some sort of web content management system (CMS). That might be home-grown, open-source, or commercial, and most of the CMS packages can be "themed" to present a particular appearance. Static HTML doesn't scale, and gets fussy to manage.
If static HTML is your chosen path, then Web (HTML) editors are widely available, and do get discussed here on occasion. Some that are mentioned include Adobe Macromedia Dreamweaver, RapidWeaver, Webacappella, Freeway, etc. (Google for details, reviews, trials, etc)
Migrating your server in-house means maintaining the server and its security, keeping any CMS you pick current, and getting DNS and some other pieces in place, and run-of-the-mill stuff like regular backups and monitoring disk space, and dealing with the usual network and hardware errors.
One of the other options (as differentiated from operating fully in-house) is to host your web site and related pieces on one of various hosting providers. (That outsources a bunch of the "fun" here, and usually for little money.)

Does Snow Leopard Server iCal Service support iCal Groups?

I have successfully configured iCal Service on Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8v1.1 and have several client Mac system (runing SL 10.6.8v1.1) connected to this service via CalDAV. I can create new calendars and those calendars and any test events propigate to all machines that have this CalDAV account configured. But whenever I try to create a calendar group it always appears as a local calendar group. Is this a feature missing when using iCal Server and CalDAV? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hi
I doubt if you'll find a step-by-step as most people's requirements are different. One of the places most people start is here:

The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file. Does Snow Leopard Server File Sharing (AFP) provide similar features?

The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file. Does File Sharing (AFP) on Snow Leopard Server provide similar services?

Were you ever able to solve this problem. I'm having similar issues since upgrading to snow leopard. Four macs connect to a Windows Server 2003 for shared files. Each user has full permissions & when we "get info" it shows read & write permissions. Two of the computers were running 10.4, two were running 10.5. Everything worked properly until upgrading to snow leopard. Some files let me copy, move, delete. Others either just hang up or we get a "no permission" error. Also getting a "pdf is in use" error, even when the file/folder doesn't contain a pdf. We had our IT rep check the server who said everything is in working order. They don't represent macs any longer but feel that it's a mac problem. I would have to agree since this problem only started after the upgrade, and the one machine that was not upgraded (still running 10.5.8) is not dealing with these problems.
Lastly, I would install 10.5 back on all of the computers if I could, but the leopard disk that came with one of the computers wouldn't work with the 2 machines running 10.4 and I didn't see it available at the apple store. I'll buy it if it's still available, but why wouldn't the disks that I have work?
Thanks for any help

Why does 4.0.1 sometimes start acroread (no pdf) & leave running?

Sometimes FF 4.0.1. starts up Acroread32, despite the fact that no PDF documents are involved in the display.
On exit, I find that Acroread is still left running and has to be killed.
Why does it start up and
why does FF not clean up after use?
Thanks,
Les.

I've found the "problem", although I don't understand it.
If I export using Quicktime conversion, go to Options->Size and select "HD 1280x720 16:9", it does what I was explaining - trims and stretches the video.
If I select just "1280x720", it does not, and the video exported is identical to the video imported.
Don't understand why the "HD" options are different, but at least my problem is solved.

Why does my MacBook Pro sometimes restores its RAM when I open it, even though it did not run out of battery?

Sometimes when I open my MacBook Pro, it restores its RAM, as if it has run out of battery, even though it has not run out of battery and it has been charging. Why does this happen, and should it be happening?

It's similar to hybernation mode in Windows.
If you put your laptop to sleep, after X amount of hours it will move to the "deeper" sleep level (save memory to disk and shut down...), to save up battery.
Otherwise if you left your laptop asleep in the evening, you could wake up to a dead battery. Not a great surprise when you in hurry to leave the house with your laptop...

Why does the same pdf sometimes open in Photoshop with a white bkgd and sometimes transparent?

I am opening the same pdf file on two different computers with the same version of photoshop. Why does it open with a transparent background on one computer and a white background on the other? Is there any way to force it to open with a transparent background? Thanks.
Loni

You have different versions of the shared PDF libraries on the different systems and/or different settings on PDF handling, most likely. This can affect transparency. The PDF libraries are shared between Adobe apps, so this may be dependent on anotehr program having changed something in that area...

Why does my Iphone 4s connect to my Wi-Fi network and latter in the day fail to connect until I reboot the router

Why does my Iphone 4s connect to my wi-fi with a password and latter in the day fail to connect until I reboot the router? Is there a setting on my router that would avoid this issue. All my other devices connect alright

OK so it now looks like on my iPhone 5 iwth iOS 6.1 the LTE network is conflicting with my home wifi (Airport Extreme). At the Apple store the LTE signal is lost in and wifi works like a charm. At home tired all of the "fixes"
-No security
-WEP
-Reset network,
-Complete reset and reload on the phone
-ETC ETC ETC
Just turned off the cell radio and it worked. Turned on the cell radio but kept LTE off and it worked.
Apple let's get a fix so we can use your "great" phone. I have just received a BB Z10 from work and it seems to work flawlessly.
