Why is my computer name in terminal different to my real computer name?

In the terminal it says the name of my old, non-existent iPod Touch, not my MacBook Air name. Why is this?!

Hello nmohamm,
To examine the conversion settings in Acrobat, do the following:
1. Select Edit > Preferences
2. In the preferences dialog, select the "Convert From PDF" category.
3. In the "Converting From PDF" list, select "Excel workbook".
4. Click the "Edit Settings" button to view your conversion settings.

Why can't I get my ip4 2 recognize the new computer name?

Why am i unable to Wi Fi sync with iTunes after I have connected to iTunes on my computer using a cable, clicking "Sync with the iPhone over Wi Fi? When I click "Sync Now, my IP4 states, "It will resume when "computer a" is available. My computer's name is no longer "a" it is "computer c."

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
When you're swapping out chargers, make sure you're using an iPad charger. It is different from an iPhone one (iPhone chargers put out about half the power)
Charging via USB will likley tell you that it's not charging because most USB's put out a fraction of the power that the iPad wants, so it says not charging.
ALso try different outlets and cables if you have them
If you go through all that and still can't get it to charge then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it.

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer (I have iTunes Match)

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer? (I have iTunes Match) I just want the song off my computer to be the songs I have on my phone.

Hey there Sparkly3gs,
It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Why is the order of my playlists different on my iPhone than on my computer or iPod?

Why is the order of my playlists different on my iPhone than on my computer or iPod? To clarify, I'm asking about the order of the playlists themselves (should be alpha) and not the order of the songs in the playlist. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1, and a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2.

I beleive when Photo Stream first started it only sent photos to other devices and didn't delete them so you'll have to start fresh. Be aware it can take a little time for the changes to take effect depending on your upload speed of your internet.
I think to start out you'll have to delete all the photos on each device first which will also delete the new ones from the stream. Make an album in iPhoto on your Mac with all the photos in My Photo Stream. Then delete all the photos on Photo Stream on all devices then add all the photos back to My Photo Stream on the Mac.
May I suggest setting up a Shared Photo Stream for this purpose and keep the My Photo Stream for the new photos taken with your devices. Also be aware of the 30 day 1000 photo limits on Photo Stream.

Help! CC cloud name different to App on computer, new app fails to open on Mac 10.3.3

Help! CC cloud name different to App on computer, new app fails to open on Mac 10.3.3Keeps saying it is up to date, but won't work

ok...i'm not sure how at all...but, a couple hours have passed since i posted this and while i was hoping someone would reply i was finishing up some old work on my old, extremely slow emac. anyways, i decided to go ahead and try to install leopard again from the normal standard method. (which is just clicking the icon once the leopard install window comes up). Guess what? now it's 50% into the installation!! i don't want to count my chickens before they hatch...especially after some of the discussions i've read about leopard so far...but, i'm hopeful
who knows how...i'm clueless and it doesn't make much sense to me. but, i'll come back and let anyone who cares know how the install went.
note for anyone with similar problems:
another strange fix to the 'leopard dvd ejecting on install' is to let the dvd chill in the drive for a couple hours...then try it again. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! worked for me

Why does typing in "file:///Users/ (admin name)/Desktop" reveal contents of a personal nature from my computer? Can't anyone from any other computer get this info. from my computer by doing the same thing?

I'm concerned that if someone else on a different computer typed in this info. (only requiring my computer's user name) that he would have access to contents on my desktop. I am running Mac OSX 10.6.5.

If someone on another computer would type that address in the location bar that they would open a local page on their computer, but probably get an alert that the page doesn't exist because their user name is different. You can only access pages on another computer if a server running on that computer makes them available and then you need to use the http:// protocol. Using the file:// protocol will always be limited to the computer on which you issue the command.

Why does my ibook HD show a different name when accessing over network?

I am including the details below for some industrious soul to peruse. In a nutshell, I have renamed my old computers internal drive (no problem), but when I connect to it via network from my new computer it still comes up as the old HD name instead of the new name that I gave it.
Is this normal to have the name of the HD sitting on the desktop not be the same as the name seen when connecting over my LAN? Or am I seeing the beginnings of trouble? Permission repairs don't come up with anything, nor does Disk Utility.
Thanks for the advise, and here's the details:
After buying a new iMac, I decided to rename my ibook's drive from Macintosh HD to iBook HD-- so I wouldn't confuse myself when networkign the two together. Seems I have confused the computers, however. After renaming my ibook HD, when I connect to it over my network I see the following under My Network:
TBB iBook G4
TBB-ibook-G4
Thomas Bailey 2's iBook G4 (apparently this comes from an administrator account I temporarily created and then later deleted)
When I click on the first computer name, I get the Connect to Server dialog Box, where I put in my main admin user login info. I then get a shoice of volumes to mount, which shows my admin user name and the old name of the hard drive (Macintosh HD).

Hi Thomas!
Is your iBook hard drive possibly the same name as one of your account names?

How do you set up two different ipads on one computer ?

I purchased a new ipad for my wife and want to get her started but we both use one imac as our desktop system. How do you set up two different uses on one computer.
Thanks,
Dave

Other options not covered in the article:
1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.

Jdcap, two different libraries with the same name?

I am looking for a network packet capturer and I have found two libraries, both called "Jdcap":
1) [http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/jpcap/doc/index.html]
2) [http://jpcap.sourceforge.net/]
What are the differences between them? Why do the have the same name? Their APIs are totally different. Which one should I use?

What are the differences between them? Read the docs for one. Then read the docs for the other. The stuff that's not the same will be the differences.
Why do the have the same name? Probably because that's an obvious name for a Java library that does packet capture.
Which one should I use?The one that best suits your needs, which you can determine by having well-defined requirements, reading the docs for both, and writing some proof-of-concept code with both.

i have iphone 5s which when i connect to import the pictures directly to my windows computer. a folder by the name of my phone appears in "My Computer" . when i open it, it shows the storage information and one icon to click on. when opened it shows a couple of folders to click upon to view pictures. when i open the pictures folder and delete all the pictures , even then a lots of unclickable windows icons remain
i have attached the picture of that window's screenshot. plus when ever i try deleting them it says,
please help!.. i shall be really thankful.
iPhone 5s, iOS 8

I have the same issue and it has to do with iOS 8.2
Apple, please mend this ASAP. Really stupid change since iOS 8.1
If you for some reason must have many different folder make sure that you put the newst photo in the last folder so one can easily find a photo when I don't want to copy all photos to, let' say, my friend computer.

Make a Mac's Computer Name the Same as it's OD Computer Record Name?

I heard someone mention that its possible (at least in 10.5 server) to make a Mac's Computer name become exactly as its OD Computer Record name is (at the time of binding). I assume this would be a setting in Server Admin/OD or in WGM perhaps. I cant find the setting. Can you locate it for me?
Im running a test Leopard OD master in Advanced mode on an Xserve Xeon.

OK, let me give you a similar scenario regarding computer record names.
I had previously setup OD to set computer names based the computer record name once the Macs were bound to OD.
I decided later that that naming scheme will not work (I need the computer (host) name and the OD computer record name to be different for logisitical reasons - long story). I unbound my OD clients and trash all LDAP settings to start over from scratch. One problem:
I cant for the life of me find that checkbox on my OD server to disable that setting. I have looked everywhere. I check WGM and Server Admin too. The post you made earlier doesn't look like the steps I took to setup the option to force the computer name from the record name. I simply checked a box. I also did enable authenticated binding either.
I have a test OD lab right now. None of the servers and clients are in production, so I have the luxury of experimenting a little before we go live in Q1 2008.

Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own?

Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own? Opening organizer in Photoshop Elements for the first time, I see pictures of my husband, but pictures in my picture library are not there. I do not want to see my husband's pictures. And he did not give me sharing permission. What can I do?

Do you have two different catalogues (One for you and other one for your husband)
if yes,
In Elements organizer go to File>Manage Catalogs and check if you have any catalogue listed of your name.
if yes, double click on that catalogue and it will open the media on that catalogue.

I apologize for my ignorance, but what do you mean by 'everything'? The computer name, e-mail accounts, icloud accounts etc?
My work computer (this mac) i use with my private icloud account so I have access to my private calendars etc. My husband's airbook is also connected to that icloud (since I only have 1 icloud account) and so is our shared ipad. Is that where the problem is? Do I need to change everything on those devises into my name too? Thanks again for you time and help!
So you are sharing the account. Very bad idea.
Get your husband his own account and stop sharing yours, they are free.
