Why is there a network name indented?

Hello,
Alright so there is the standard list of Wi-Fi networks available, except one of them is literally indented by at least one letter's width. Does this mean the network is somehow connected with mine? Perhaps a subnet? Or is it just that the name actually includes a space ahead of the first letter?
Regards

Consider yourself lucky (?)...I don't see my name ANYWHERE on the lock screen of ANY of my devices...
Have a look at the wallpaper being used on the device:
Settings/Wallpaper
Sounds like the name is contained on the wallpaper. Change the wallpaper and see if the name remains. There should be NO name on the lock screen of any iOS device unless the name resides on the wallpaper being used or the device is possibly jailbroken.

Why is there another persons name on my emails received

On occasion when some cc me in an email, it has my correct address, but not my name attached.

I’m not sure this is helpful, but I have recently experienced and, hopefully, solved a somewhat similar problem. In my case, I suddenly started receiving emails from various websites which have periodically contacted me, with the “To:” reading not me but a different name though the pulldown arrow showed my correct email address. I had only recently entered that name in my Address Book. I then learned that the person with the other name had also been hit with something similar to my situation. When I realized what was going on, though I have never understood its purpose, I immediately did two things. I deleted that name in my AB. And, following the suggestion of someone in another thread on this Forum, I went to my Apple Mail Preferences/Viewing and unchecked Use Smart Addresses. The latter causes both recipient name and email to show rather than just the name, thus eliminating the hidden feature. There was also a scheduling aspect in all this, since, from time to time through the day, the names would switch from mine to the other one. Since I made those two simple changes, everything seems back to normal, the "other" name has totally disappeared,though I’m still a bit leery regarding what the Trojan or whatever was all about. So you should check your relevant Address Book entries including the one for yourself, and the Use Smart Addresses, maybe, for a start. Luck.

Why is there a network timing

why does my ipod always say network timed out? when i tried logining in to facetime it would say network timed out why is this

Is it YOUR network, or someone elses? If it is someone else's, they have it locked so you can't get free Wifi from them. Of course it could be your network as well, but surely you know the password to your own network, but others wouldn't, so they can't get free Wifi from you.

FailSafe - Intelligent Agent - Network Name

Here's the ordeal.
A client has a windows 2000 cluster (gak). I set up Oracle FailSafe 3.3.1 and for several months it has worked fine. THey had a poweroutage the other day and the UPS battery was running low. They shut the servers down without taking the group offline (dough). When the first box went down a failover occured. Then the second was shutdown. Upon restarting they did not realize the database was set to not failback automatically. Then it is unclear what occured as panic set in. Now I have repaired most of the damage and the group is back ionline with the two datbaase and listener functioning properly. Howwever the Agent has failed to be restored because the Network Name resource fails to come online. Windows provides little info on why.
For a brief time I was able to get the Network Name to come online by removing it an recreating it with the Microsoft Cluster Administrator. With the fully qulified name and domain machinename.foobar.local. Then the intelligent agent was added and everything came on line. Meanwhile, back at the OEM management server, it was restarted and an atemmpt was made to refresh the node. WANK! WOn't refresh the node. An error says that there is a conflict between the Intelligent Agent version and the OEM Management server....both however are found to be 2.2 (I suspect though the agent was reinstalled on the cluster but I have not confirmed. Here come the questions:
Why does now the Network Name fail to come online? (tried everything now excpet rebooting the entire shooting match.)
Verifying the INtelligent Agent version?
Anythoughts on troubleshooting the agent would be appreciated before I rebuild the whole freakin' mess....
Brad

Tks for your reply
For this moment i've deployed one agent agent OFF on each node .This part of configuration is ok ,
i can monitor database from grid control.
the goal is configuring agent for failsafe now and integrate agent OFS to ressource . ,
I've got an error while step 'add ressource to group ' ( refer to NOTE:396659.1 paragraf 11)
The added ressouce ( grid agent) hang online pending on the screen of failsafe manager.
In the note it's notified to add Network name ,and IP address as dependencies, but i can find only Virtual IP adress in the scrolling box.
any idea ??

If i am the only user and owner of my macbook, then why are there 78 users in the directory editor?

Hi guys just wanted to know little bit about the open directory as my MacBook Pro has been playing up on and off at least a couple of years. I have been advised by Apple over the phone or as well as over the genius bar in trying to get my mac to behave. This normally solves whatever problem that has been happening at the time. "Great, job done!"... Not so much, as another problem eventually shows it's ugly pixelated face again and then we end up going round the Infinite loop ride one more time... And this ride ain't always free! I have forked out about £600 on it so far and it wasn't cheap in the beginning! Anyway I have just got off the ride and before I get punched by a plyst to get back on I would rather learn about the things I don't understand so hopefully I can resolve the matter without hair loss. So my main question so far is why are there 78 user names (most of which are computer related names, not all) are found in Directory Utility? I do not play games on my Mac it is mainly used for media such as iPhoto, iTunes, pages, mail and surfing the net. So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
If you have any suggestions or pointers then please post a reply.
Thanks for reading
Orion

So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
None. It's normal. Make no modifications.
It's not clear what trouble you are experiencing, or if anything is wrong at all. If your Mac is not behaving as you expect it should, describe what's wrong in as much detail as possible.
Include all relevant details regarding your MacBook Pro starting with which one of its three dozen models you have. Posting the results of EtreCheck will help with that. Read about it here.

Windows 7 assigns a "2" to my network name - why?

So it's like this, I run an Airport Extreme at home and recently received a Dell Inspiron as a work unit.
The first couple of hours it connected effortlessly to the base station with the network name: Airport Extreme.
The weird thing is, after some time, the network toolbar on the Dell is reporting that it is connected to Airport Extreme 2, when i have not assigned it any such designation. Tried re-naming it to AEX just in case some neighbors base station is named Airport Extreme 2, but then I get a connection to AEX 2. As a result I get the notice: no internet connection.
Any ideas why?

Hi:
If you don't know which wireless card driver to install from the many listed on the support page...I will let you know which one you need if you do the following...
Since there is no wireless driver installed, there should be a device labeled Network Controller in the device manager under an Other Devices category. The network controller device will have a little ! mark next to it.
So, find the network controller device, click on that and then click on the Details tab.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

My iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no issues. i have reset network settings

my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

No.
Any problem connecting your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own?

Ipod touch 1st generation can't connect to my linksys wireless router wr110. THe signal is strong and there is a check mark beside my network name, but when I try to open safari it says "unable to find server".

My friends MacBook connected easily to my wireless, but why not the ipod touch? When prompted for "Password" I enter the security key info and nothing, nadda....zip. The MacBook asks for the "Security Key" info not "Password", like the touch. What's the difference?

Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

My Ipad said there was an update. It asked for a network name which i wrote, sikkerhed WPA2, and my internet code - now my screen is frozen - it won,t do anything at all - help please

My Ipad said there was an update. It asked for a network name and i typed my e-mail network name and password. Now I have a locked frame where it says Another network - name (my network name) safety - WPA2 password - my internet password. Now it is frozen - when i press button it says Ipad not adjusted - continue? and nothing happens alt all. I can't get away from this screen. Please help

Try to reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

No need to. The system will automatically do so...been like this for years.

Why does the local network and computer name keep changing?

After upgrading to Yosemit the local network name and computername on my iMAC keep changes link:
Mycomputer-1
Mycomputer-2
Mycomputer-3
Why?
I have tried to change it back in sharing and network locations.
Is this also the reason the my iPhone cannot find my iPhone often cannot find my iMac when I will sync it? Then I have to restart the iPhone and iTunes on the computer. This happens very very often.
Maybe it also linked to these errors which the log is full of - many every minute:

I think the is some bug/clash between bonjour and other network protocols. That is only a guess.

After resetting the computer name and local host name to the correct name without the number I also shotdown my iMac, my AppleTV, my iPhone, my iPad and then rebooted my Airport/Time capsule it seemed to work at least for several days. But yesterday I discovered that my Apple TV now also has changed name to Apple TV (2).
I logged into iCloud.com to see my devices and here it was really wired. My Apple TV was called Apple TV (2) and my iMac also had (2) after the name. Then I checked it on the iMac but here it was correct! Why can it have one name on the iCloud and another on the computer.
I restarted both the iMac, Apple TV and Airport Time capsule then everything was correct also on iCloud.com.
But today the iMac was called the name (2) again on the iMac. And now the local host name also had -2 after the name. It has not always been both names that has changed. That is really wired. And today Wifi was not working on the iMac after wake from sleep. I changed the name back and rebooted again also the Airport Time capsule. Now it is working again.
The log is still full of this messages:

The name is not the only problem. Often itunes will not find my iPhone and iPad. Then i need to close iTunes and restart the iPhone and iPad then it works for some time.
And the iPhone and AppleTV will not always wake the iMac from sleep. I am wondering if the is linked to the changing of name.
I have seen by googling that it can be related to a sleep proxy problem so it seems like that here is two devices on the net with the same name that is why name is changing, but to know this do not help me to solve the problem. I have also seen all the suggestion to turn almost every services off on the computer, but again I it is not a solution and I have the iMac and devises to use the functionality not to shot everything down. So I do not really understand people saying turn off itunes, turn off blueboth, and turn off this and that.
Apple must soon come with a real solution. We are really many people have these problem since we upgraded to Yosemite and iOS 8.
I have also listed some of the iTunes errors from the log below:
